Omaks' Speakers Corner Series
Quote:
Today i start a new initiative with a bit of trepidation. I am aiming to kickstart a trend that may proof popular with fellow forumites on NVS, or fall flat on it's face. Pure and simple, i want to recreate a 'Speakers' Corner' through my blogs. (Posted Oct 5, 2008 at 11:11 AM)
The Forbidden Fruit - Part 1
Posted Sep 6, 2009 at 07:08 AM by omaks
Eniola had lived outside of Nigeria for the most part of his life. He left the shores of Nigeria at the age of 14 years, and had not once visited after that. The strange thing is that Eniola’s allegiance to Nigeria and his Yoruba culture had not waned in spite of the long time he had been disconnected from his roots. This unwavering allegiance is the reason why Eniola decided one day that he had had enough of a bachelor’s life and wanted to settle down and marry. Eniola had decided that he was only ever going to marry a Nigerian.
Thus, Eniola embarked on a 6 week holiday to Nigeria, largely to reconnect with the family he had been disconnected with for so long, but also to seize the opportunity to explore the chances of meeting someone acceptable for him to begin a serious relationship with, one which may eventually blossom into marriage. He was met at Murtala Muhammed international airport by his mum and dad, and his best friend Ade.
The first few days had been hectic for Eniola because friends and family kept besieging his parents’ home with a view to seeing the well talked about success that is their relation who had just arrived from abroad. Eniola had become a wealthy young entrepreneur in the United States of America, and a source of pride to Eniola’s mother who would telling anyone within an ear’s shot about her successful son.
Ade in the main time had lined up some high profile shin – digs which he was going to take Eniola to, perhaps he would meet someone who interested him there. Eniola was looking forward to these outings, but solicited Ade’s assistance in securing a very posh accommodation in a high profile hotel where he could have some privacy away from the numerous visitors that thronged his parents’ house just to see him.
At many of the parties they went to, Eniola rejected many of the ladies introduced to him for one reason or the other. After some time, Ade was beginning to wonder if there was something wrong with his friend. Eventually, they both decided to call it a day, and retire to Eniola’s place, but Ade had to first of all pick up his girlfriend at University of Lagos. When they got there Eniola elected to stay in the car, while Ade went up to fetch his girlfriend. Ade had gone for only a short period when Eniola’s eyes caught the sight of this beautiful girl. She was medium size; light complexioned with big black eyes. She glided gracefully out from the same place Ade had entered the hall of residence, and she had a stack of books in both her hands.
Eniola scrambled out the car and headed straight for the lady. He ran swiftly, and caught up with her in no time, and introduced himself to her. She smiled and told him her name was Becky, and they chatted for a short while. Soon Eniola saw Ade making his way toward them, and told him they had to wait a little while more because his girlfriend wasn’t quite ready yet. Eniola said it didn’t matter, and that he wasn’t quite in a hurry to leave too.
After what seemed like eternity chatting to Becky, Eniola was able to convince her to follow him back to his hotel for dinner. Becky excused herself to go back into her hostel to get prepared, and afterwards Ade and Eniola and both of their guests headed for Eniola’s hotel room, where they dropped off their luggage and then headed for the restaurant. Eniola showed a different side of himself to even his friend. He spent money lavishly. He was ordering more food even though the one at the table hadn’t been finished yet. Afterwards they went to the bar and discothèque where once again Eniola spent a huge amount on drinks for his guests.
If Eniola intended to leave a lasting impression on Becky he certainly succeeded. Becky was in the healing process of a recently broken relationship with her long term boyfriend. There had been high hopes that they were going to marry after her youth Service next year, until she discovered that her boyfriend of four years was in another relationship and was only stringing her along.
She had vowed never to have anything to do with men again, but Eniola came into her live with a bang, and she just couldn’t resist the temptation of obliging his very polished and svelte approach. He was certainly the most polished, most affectionate and cultured man she had ever met, and all of these had began to create little hope that something serious might come out of this dalliance. Though Eniola hadn’t made his full intentions known, Becky couldn’t help hoping for the best. So when they returned to Eniola’s room, and he made advances to her, Becky didn’t put up much resistance contrary to her natural instincts. She didn’t want to ruin anything that had the chances of progressing further between them.
In the morning Becky had to return home at the insistence of her mother. She had called her to say she wasn’t coming home as earlier planned, but her mum had insisted. They were going to visit her elder sister, whose wealthy son had just returned from America. Eniola too had to return home to attend to some visitors he was expecting. So they had both arranged to meet back at the hotel in the evening.
On their way back home after dropping Becky off in front of her house, all Eniola could talk of was Becky and how he was smitten with her. Ade couldn’t believe both his eyes and his ears. In fact Ade had started to believe that Eniola was either unserious about finding a bride or had an unrealistic taste in women, which had made him reject all the women on offer earlier on. Though Ade had seen Becky a few times he didn’t really know much about her except that she used to be in a relationship with someone which ended a few months ago, and neither did his girlfriend know much about her since Becky always kept to herself on campus. In fact many thought Becky was a snub as she was not regarded as part of the ‘happening girls’ on campus.
Eniola arrived home to find arrangements for the reception of the visitors in full swing, but the most important thing on his mind was for the visit to be concluded as quickly as possibly so that he could return to his hotel to meet Becky. As far as he was concerned this visit was not as important. He made overtures to his mum to ensure that the visitors did not stay for too long, or in the alternative he didn’t have to stay till they left as he had to meet someone very important, but his request was meet with a swift rebuke by his mum. She told him in uncertain terms that there was no way she was going to allow his skip meeting her sister and her children. She was intent on sharing pride and joy with them. After all, Sholape her sister had assisted in nursing him when he was still a toddler, and after all these years away in the United States of America, it is only befitting that Eniola reconnects with them again.
When Becky got indoors her mum was already waiting in the living room. Her eyes’ were like thunder, she enquired who the young man who dropped her off was and where she was coming from. Becky informed her mum that the young man in question was her classmate, and that since her mum insisted that she had to accompany her to this family visit, she asked for a lift so as not to keep her waiting. Becky’s mum implored her to be extra careful, considering the plight she went through recently. Becky’s mum also informed her that she had certain things she had been told to pass o to her by ‘baba’, and they needed to talk when there is ample time. Her mum mellowed, and asked her to speedily get dressed so that they could be on their way.
On their way to visit Becky’s aunt, mid way through their destination there was a loud bang. Initially Becky’s mum thought the large bang had emanated from their car so she stopped abruptly, while Becky scrambled out to investigate. Fortunately it was the car behind them which had suffered a severe tyre puncture. As Becky proceeded to get back in the car though, a car on the opposite side had splashed a huge amount of muddy water on her apparel. It was so much that to continue with the journey was out of the question for Becky. She had to return home to get change, but as they were half way through to their destination, her mother didn’t want to turn back. That would mean cancelling the whole visit all together. Therefore, she told Becky to go back home, while she will continue to her sister’s house and explain why Becky had to miss the day’s visit.
