DIARY OF A KOGI GIRL.
âBut I think I like your husband maybe if you could welcome me in as a second wife, it would take our relationship to the next level.â I teased my friend.
âWill you keep shut!â My friend fired back.
Out of pretense, I told her I was just pulling her legs after all, I have my fiancĂ©e as well even though heâs not ready for marriage.
Ever since I sought my friendâs consent that I had feelings for her husband, I noticed changes In her attitude towards me.
My friend is someone who could go to any length to help me but I canât fathom the reasons why her life is flourishing while mine is still stagnant.
She has always been the lucky star since the inception of our friendship but I donât think I can control the jealousy in me anymore. Just like a timing-bomb waiting to explode, I figured out a plan.
In other to succeed in my plight, I began to give my fiancée nasty attitudes which made him cut off his engagement. I see no sense keeping an engagement ring for good 3 years so, I used it as an excuse to end our relationship.
âThis is a good time to focus on my friendâs husband.â_ I whispered to myself. After all, Iâm always welcome at any point in time in their home!
One fateful weekend, I decided to visit my friend_I ensured to give her a call even though I knew she goes to the market every weekend and more so, Her schedules are usually tight.
Having exchange pleasantries with her on phone, She told me she couldnât make it to the market due to unexpected circumstances.
I was so mad at myself because that couldâve been a better way to execute my plans!
Oh yes, I know what her husband likes because Iâve caught him on several occasions with women. But I dare not tell my friend because I ought to protect her home due to the benefits I get from them. So, I wouldnât want the husband to give up on helping me.
But God Dammm it! This man is my perfect definition of a gentle man_despite the fact he flirts around, He knows how to keep to his responsibilities. But I donât think my friend deserves him because Iâm more fitted to be in her husbandâs status.
Iâve done several things to entice my friendâs husband but all efforts proved abortive until the day I went to the village!
Please, donât judge me because Iâm a âGo getterâ and if I donât have this man to myself, Iâm going to consider myself a âloser.â
On getting to the village, I went straight to our village priest as usual, He gave me what to use in order to execute my plans!
I thanked baba and headed back to the city the next day. I told my mother I came for something very urgent to kill her curiosity.
Baba gave me some liquid mixture to apply all over my body so that when I get to my friendâs husbandâs office, he wonât be able to resist me_I did as advised. âOmooo, this thing Dey smell abeg. All these stress just to win a man?â I teased myself.â
On getting to my friendâs husbandâs office, the secretary told me he was out of town but hopefully, I would see him the next day.
âokay, no problem.â I responded.
I left the office to my friendâs house and to my greatest bewilderment, I met my friendâs husband alone in the house! I donât even know if I should be happy but trust me, my body began to quiver.
âYour friend lost her grandmother and she has gone to the village â _my friendâs husband said.
âOh Lord, and she couldnât inform me?â
âMaybe she forgot and you know how emotional she felt especially, the bond between her and her grandmother.â
âYou are right Sir,â I said.
By the way, why are you not in the office today? I called at your office to say âHelloâ to you on my way to the storeâ even though you avoid me sometimes.
âActually, I had to stay back because of the kidsâ and you know how clingy my children are whenever their mum is away from home.â
I smiled sheepishly and headed towards the kitchen to get some drinks_of course, Iâm always welcome.
On getting to the kitchen, I quickly brought out the remaining stuff baba gave me and applied it on my face.
The moment I got to the parlor, His gaze and mine came in contact and before I knew, Weâve done the needful! I think Iâve succeeded because Iâm not leaving this man anytime soon. He seemed happy as well without knowing he was under the influence of my charm. He started narrating how boring her wife has become on bed due to the wideness of her âbirth canalâ opening during child birth.
âOmoo, some men Dey craze oooâ I whispered to myself.
When I got home, I called my friend to console her and I promised to check on her once sheâs back from the village.
Few months later, I started having weird changes in my body. I knew it wasnât pregnancy because I always ensured that I take precautions whenever we do the needful.
I carried out blood test and the result showed I was HIV positive! I began to tremble because I donât know how I would cope with the news.
I felt the darkest moment of my life has surfaced!
On getting home, I received a call from my friendâs husband and out of my biggest surprise, He was HIV positive as confirmed by his doctor.
He blamed me for infecting him which I didnât deny because Iâve had it unprotected with several men.
Five months after, I broke the news of my plight to my friend and how I infected her husband with disease.
âSo you were the reason why my husband has refused to made love to me without protection for the past five monthsâ?
âWhat have I done to deserve this from you?â
My friend said.
I tired to seek her apology and she pushed me out of her house.
Out of fear, I changed my SIM card and located to another place entirely.
1 years after, I found out she and her husband had divorced and my friend was out of the country.
My symptoms turned worse and as usual, I jumped out from my bed and realized that it was a dream.
I called my friend to tell her I was coming over to her house but she declined my request.
âAbi she dream the same thing wey I see for dream ni?â
God abeg ooooh!
