INSEPARABLE - A Story About Friendship

CHAPTER THREE

As Kelvin drove with his Friends through Etyle City to Erinsic, a popular

bar and restaurant which most Big Boys and Girls patronised in the city,

they made comments about almost everything they saw. After twenty

minutes of driving, Kelvin began to halt slowly close to a broken down

car.

"Kelvin, what's the matter, why are you stopping" Frank said.

" Don't you see those chicks are struggling with their car? Let's lend

them a helping hand and you know, I think I like one of them" Kelvin

replied as he came down through the drivers seat.

" Oh!" Bode complained, obviously irritated, " which one be this now, are

we good samaritans, why you just wan spoil our groove this evening?"

"The guy wan toast babe now,abeg leave am o", Frank replied and

joined Kelvin walk towards the girls.

" Hi girls, what's wrong with your car?" , Kelvin said as he approached

the car.

" I don't know, the engine has refused to come on since I parked to

receive a phone call", one of the Ladies replied with a faint smile.

"Let me help you check it" Kelvin said as he checked through the car

Engine.

Frank fed his eyes on the girl's faces, he had not seen girls as pretty as

they were in a long time. He admired the one in the dark blue suit more,

he loved the dimples that revealed themselves as she smiled on

sighting him. He smiled back too. He decided to engage the girls in a

conversation while Kelvin worked on the car.

"Where were you girls off to? " He asked, directing the question to the

girl on the blue suit, but was quickly answered by the other one.

"We were on our way to Erinsic, I don't just know what's wrong with the

car, it has never broken down"

"Don't worry, it would be fixed, we were also on our way to Erinsic"

After about one minute of working on the car, Kelvin called out "You can

start up the engine now"

The car started at once to the surprise of the two girls.

"Wow, thank you so much" the lady who had been silent all throughf

inally spoke beaming with smiles.

"Its nothing" Frank quickly replied her

Ini came out of the car looking grateful. "Thank you so much, we would

have been stucked here for long without help"

"You're welcome Mam, It's my pleasure to help pretty ladies like you"

Kelvin finally spoke, cleaning his hands with an handkerchief " My

name is Kelvin and that's my friend Frank"

"I'm Ini, and she is Amarachi, I call her Ama" She replied cheerfully,

winking at Amarachi who was looking less interested

" I heard you were your way to Erinsic? "

" Yes, we wanted to spend sometime out this evening"

" Oh, I see, we were heading for the same place. I think we don't have

to waste time anymore, let's just meet there.

............................................................................

" Dennis, time is not on your side anymore, you are ageing gradually

and I'm also getting closer to the grave, please let me carry my grand

children ", Mrs Michaels whined

" Mummy, I told you to be patient, you would get your grand children

when the time comes", Dennis replied as he took a sip of Five alive fruit

juice.

" That's what you always say, for years now, we've been patient and

there has been nothing to show for it, you better bring a wife home if

you want us to live in peace " Mrs Michaels replied and stormed out of

the living room .

Dennis hated this kind of discussion with his mother, they've been

through it several times and the woman would not let him be, she

brought up the discussion everytime she heard about a marriage

ceremony.

He thought about the two Ladies he had dated previously. His

relationship with Ada hadn't been too nice. Ada came from a rich family

and therefore lived a flamboyant lifestyle that didnt work with him, she

was also arrogant and lazy, he couldn't put up with the relationship

again and had to break up one afternoon after she beat up one of his

female staffs in the office for staring at her boyfriend too much.

Funmi, the second lady that he dated hadn't loved him but pretended

and play pranks on him alongside with her lover. Three years after that,

he hadn't open his heart to any other girl, he focused on making

money.

"Brother" , a tiny voice called, interrupting his thoughts " ain't you going

out this saturday?"

It was Janet, his younger sister, who was just twenty years of age. He

was used to chilling out with her on saturdays when she was on break

from school.

"Is anything the matter?" She asked after noticing he looked gloomy,

"you don't look cheerful today"

"Its nothing dear, I'm just trying to think through some matters in the

office" He lied.

"Hmm, sweet lie, you think I will take that? I know you don't disturb

yourself with office matters on Saturdays, so tell me the truth"

" You are too young to understand Janet"

"No, I'm not" , she replied, sitting close to her brother on the three sitter

sofa " you can talk to me"

"No, you won't understand Janet " He said and walked into his room
