Can you imagine Lisa, that little maggot
in that house called me a tramp last night!”
Deifa told her closest friend who was
seated beside her in the passenger seat of
her car. Lisa had hitched a ride to school
with her since her own car was at the auto
shop for the day.
“You don’t mean it!, Lisa said, her eyes
growing wide as saucers. She knew Diefa
didn’t get along with her step family and
that fights were a common thing in her
house but it still shocked her the things
that happened under that roof.
“Hmmm, the girl is really trying herself,”
Deifa continued “I had gone in quietly,
ignoring the woman and her son, even
though I knew I was the topic of discussion
as I heard my name when I was outside
the door and then she just came in and
called me a tramp, just like that!” She
explained, keeping her eyes on the road as
she drove “Lisa, in the mood I was
yesterday I didn’t know when I told her,
all her generations to come would all be
tramps.”
Her friend burst into laughter “You said
what? that her generations to come would
all be tramps?” she repeated and then
shook her head “Girl, you’ve got one hell of
a bad mouth…how did they react to that?”
“I don’t know, and I don’t really care,” She
shrugged “I just said my own and
continued up the stairs, no time for
nonsense abeg!”

“What is wrong with the girl sef? Why
doesn’t she just stay on her own? She’s
always in your business one way or
another,” Lisa asked.
“ I wonder o, all of them in that house,
they are all just so damn annoying.
Everyone is so annoying right now,” she
complained turning to Lisa, she flashed a
quick smile “except for you, sweetheart,”
turning back to keep her eyes on the road,
she continued “The family lawyer keeps
telling me I can’t leave the house, or else
blah blah blah would happen and then,
there’s Osas, being his annoying, irrational
self again!” she shook her head, sighing.
Lisa wasn’t surprised at that last bit of
news “What did that your idiot boyfriend
do this time?” the two quarreled at least
once every day, they were not supposed to
be together, she just didn’t understand
why Deifa stuck with such a low life.
Deifa took her eyes briefly off the road
again, this time giving Lisa a warning look
“Don’t call Osas an idiot, he’s my
boyfriend.”
“yeah….. and that’s one of the greatest
mysteries on earth, how light and darkness
could become boyfriend and girlfriend….
Deifa don’t you get it? You guys aren’t
compatible and that’s why you are always
fighting.”
“ I love him so much” Deifa said quietly
“you’ll never get it but we are very much
in love.”
“No Deifa,” Lisa countered “you think you
love him, try someone else and I’m sure
you’d see what a loser he is, gosh! for
someone intelligent you could be really
dense sometimes, no offense abeg!”
“ For goodness sake Lise, can you just get
off my case already, Osas and i love and
understand each other perfectly, so please
butt out!” Deifa finally snapped. Lisa just
loved to go on and on about this but she
could never understand.
Lisa raised her hands in surrender,
realizing she might have pushed her
friend too far “Okay, okay, butting out of
your relationship! Do you want to talk
about what he did this time?”
Deifa’s shoulders slumped “Its this issue
with that Mirabel abi Mira or whatever
her name is called, I asked him again
yesterday evening, if he was seeing her
and he took offense. He just lost his cool
and began yelling, calling me all sorts of
names in public!”
Lisa raised a brow “Shocker,” she
muttered sarcastically.
Deifa glared at her “Lisa?”
“What? Are you surprised he acted the
way he did? he’s your boyfriend, you
should know him better than I do, right?”
Lisa sneered “Seriously Lisa, maybe I shouldn’t have said anything, cause it’s the same thing you do every time….. you never hesitate to tell me what a low life you think Osas is.” Deifa said rubbing her brow as if to ward off a growing headache.
