❤️❤️OUR LOVE STORY❤️❤️

"Who's Jummy?" My mummy asked me

As my mum asked this,I couldn't help but pretended as if I didn't know about what she asked.

"As in, Jummy? Who's that?" I gestured surprisingly.

"I thought you mentioned Jummy now"my mum said as shevcontinue peeling.

My mum is someone I don't tell lies.she doesn't deserved to be told lies.Why did I say this?,My mum is such a very nice mother to me,she understands when I'm crying,she understands when I'm smiling,and most especially,She always give me the best solution whenever I'm in tro_uble or discom_fort.Maybe because I was the first child she gave birth to,or because my father doesn't always have time, That's the reason why she always advice and treat me specially.Most people think my mum is my Aunt,They think I'm just living with her after she got married to my father.She always tell me that "I'm not the one that supposed to be educating you and advising you like this but because your father doesn't have time to be doing it,I took his position".

So,I told her the truth.

"Yes mum! I mentioned Jummy" I said.

"Kaaata! I knew my ear didn't decieve me.I heard it" my mum said,as she gave me a motherly slap across my shoulder.

"Yes mum! You heard it" I said .

"So, who's Jummy?" She asked again.

If I told her directly on that day about the relationship between me and Jummy,I knew she would ab_use and ins_ult me little.so I applied wisdom.

"Jummy and I are just like you and my dad when you were in secondary School" I said,as I grinned.

After my mum heard this,she didn't find it funny untill when she bent down her head for like a minute and then burst into serious laughter.She understood what I meant.

Why did I say just like she and my dad?

There was a day me and my mum were cleaning our house.So,I saw a plastered photographic picture.The picture was plastered with a sticky tape: my mum and dad are in the picture putting on their secondary School uniform.I asked my mum on that day about the picture and she told me that she and my dad started their relationship since when They were in secondary School.She said it was just like a joke then but because God want it like that,it comes true.

As my mummy knew that what I meant was this story,she laughed so much.

Then I explained everything to do her and she gave me some pieces of advice:

"If I try to stop you from this,I know you will still be doing it secretl_y.so it's better to advise you than to stop you from what you'll be doing when I'm not there.Please my son,face your study and don't engage in se___x_ual things please.Don't be distracted by relationship or anything.make sure you make our family proud.I wish you all the best!" My mum said.

"Thanks Mum" I replied.

How will I explain to my mum that me and Jummy have been hugging? How do I tell her that Jummy has been placing her head on my laps and I've been playing with her hair? Well,I kept that one.No be everything my mama go know nah.

The next day morning as I stepped into school,I met Jummy in school before the assembly held.So,I walked up to her and we talked.

"Take this,big head" Jummy said,as she gave me yoghourt.

I collected it from her and taste it.Shouldn't I lie? The yoghurt was so very different from sobo and kunnu we drink at home.

"Thanks dear" I said.

Even as she gave me the yogurt,I saw it from her eyes that she wasn't feeling happy.So,I asked her:

"What happened dear?" I placed my hand on her shoulder.

"I'm so much concern about where our relationship will lead to" she replied.

"What if I tell you that Mama like you and she supported this our relationship" I said,to make her happy

"Are you serious?"she asked

"Yes,I'm" I replied.

After she heard this,she was so happy so much she started cracking jokes and we were both laughing.Then she checked her wristwatch,it remained just a minute for assembly to be held.

"If mr Johnson meet you here,You're finish" Jummy said.

"I'm finished or we are finished?" I asked.

Jummy laughed and then we parted our ways.

When it was closing hour,after the time_keeper rang the bell,Me and Jummy met again and we talked for like five minutes before her driver came.

"Her father's daughter" the driver said

Jummy Burst into laughter and then the driver told us:

"Mummy has told me to be snooping on you guys,Mum said whenever I catch you guys together,I should tell her.But I can't do that.Because I can't put asunder to what I think God want to join together.But becareful!" the driver said.

"thank you sir" I said.

Then I watched as he drove her away.

After two weeks,when we were preparing for our s.s.2 third term exam,The school invited parents for meeting.I told my parent not to come because in the end,we will all hear their discussions.But Jummy's mum came.Immediately as she left the meeting,she came to our class to check on Jummy.As she entered,she saw me in just a seat to Jummy's seat.

"What's this stinking rat doing in this class with my daughter?" She asked our class teacher.

"Rat? In this environment? It's not possible.everywhere is tidy and clean.infact the cleaners just finished sweeping and cleaning the environment and classes now" our class teacher answered her,thinking she saw a rat in the class.

"No,I mean this po_or Muslim boy" she said as she pointed at me.

"I mean this po__or muslim boy" she said,as she pointed at me.

As this abus_ive statement was muttered by her referring to me,the whole class exploded with laughter.Their laughing voices were louder so very high that the proprietor had to came and checked what was going on.

"Madam please calm down please!" The proprietor said,as he was calming her down.

Even after being petted and calmed,This woman didn't calm down at all,she kept calling me abus_ive names.But the fact is,The class didn't find the other names she was calling me funny again,Just only the "Stinking rat"

The proprietor and other teachers manage to calmed her down after few minutes and then she was taken to the proprietor's office.After few minutes,I was called to the proprietor's office.

"This woman said she don't want to see you with her daughter again" the proprietor said, talking to me.

"Okay sir" I said,as I was shivering cowardly.

"But if you don't stay away with her daughter, it's either we expel you from this school or you come to school everyday to beating" The proprietor said.

"I promise sir, I'll" I said.

Jummy was asked to take her properties; bags and other materials from the class me and her were,and that was how her class was changed.

The fact that jummy's class was changed didn't sadden me at all,But I was so much concern about two things; The abus_ive name she called me and I was concerned if Jummy would ever be happy on that day or not.

To be sincere,I don't really like the way me and Jummy were in the same class,It was somehow immature and childish to me.Though we were still young then but the fact that I use to read novels had turned me to an adult in my eighteenth years old.

Since it was few minutes to the closing hour,her mother stayed in the school till the bell was rang.So, me and Jummy couldn't talk on that day.I hid somewhere watching as her mother was driving her away.I wondered how Jummy would felt on that day.

As I got home on that day,I met my mum making/cooking pounded Yam.Pounded yam is my best food even till date but on that day,I didn't feel happy even though I saw my best food.

"Baba òkò mi,I've helped you to prepare your favourite food" my mum said,as she welcomed me.

My mum expected me to atleast grin for hearing "pounded yam" but rather to grin,I frowned.Then she curiously asked me:

"Kilode baba okomi_ what happened?" She asked

"No, Nothing happened mum.I'm just a little bit distre_ssed" I replied.

If I told her on that day about what happened,My mum may act somehow angr_ily.So that was the reason why I had to changed the matter.I mustn't tell her.

"What's pestering you?" My mum asked

"our forthcoming exam ma" I said

"Ok.Be prayerful and stay focused" my mum advise me.

Throughout that day,I kept imagining "do I really look like a cat?","I'm I really a smelling?","like I'm as u_glier as that?".

When I was done eating,I asked my mum:

"Please mum,do I look like a rat?" I asked.

My mum laughed and replied

"Why rat? Rat? What happened?" She asked.

"No,just that,I was used as an example of a rat by a teacher today" I replied.

After my mum heard this,she laughed so much that I've never seen her laughing like that before.That was where I realized how funnier it was when Jummy's mum called me "a stinking rat". Imagine I didn't even add "stinking" to it and my mum laughed so hard like this,what if I added it?,My mum would've laughed throughout that day.That was the reason why the class exploded with laughter.

Throughout that day,I kept looking at myself in the mirror, smelling my skin.Like,do i really look like a rat?,I'm I really smelling?.
