Conflict. My. Best. Friend.

Conflict is the only thing that can make you understand what is true or false.

You haven't had a conflict before?

Then you're yet to begin life's journey.

And unlike mine,

I wish you success till you meet...

CONFLICT.

*~*~*~*~*
"Finally," I muttered as we stood up to share the grace.

I've been battling sleep for the past four hours of being in the church.

Yes, today's Sunday which means exactly six hours of service.

Mom once told me that whenever I start sleeping during anything church-related (spiritual) then that means I'm lagging.

I'm no longer in alignment with the holy ghost.

Something like that.

But who cares?

I just want to go back home, eat and go to the shop so I can see my baby.

Awww, I'm blushing.

I'm talking about Chika oo.

Leaving mom behind since she was still talking with other women I walked towards the exit.

My stomach grumbled.

Damn, I'm famished.

I didn't eat anything at home before coming to the shop, mom said it's always good to fast and pray during Sunday service.

I inhaled the aroma of the hot bun and puff puff.
"Madam, please put two hundred naira puff puff for me," I shouted amidst the shouts and request of others, waving my money

I waited for five minutes before I was finally given the puff puff.

This woman is the only one selling snacks here in the church.

Due to the late service dismissal, people always patronize her before going home.

"Nne, nyem soya milk ka m were gbatuo ihe a," I requested handing the woman's daughter another two hundred naira note.

Don't worry I didn't steal the money, it's one of the perks of having a rich boyfriend.

"Ella, buy for me too." I heard my brother's voice even before I could see him.

I handed him the puff-puff as he walked up to me smiling.

"Thank you," he smiled, "I don't know what mommy is still doing there. Somebody is just hungry here."

At least we both agree on the same thing.

"Wait she'll soon come," I assured him as he pouted and ate his puff-puff contentedly.

*~*~*~*~*
It was a beautiful afternoon.

The sun was shining brightly and everyone was radiant in their Sunday dress.

I smiled.

It's always a beautiful day when you get to see your beloved.

That's why I'm rushing to get to the shop in time.

Humming quietly to myself as I trekked quickly I noticed four Lexus jeep drive past me and revise almost immediately to the other side of the road.

One of them stepped out of the car and called me. I noticed they all had their glasses whined down.

This isn't good and they're all cute guys and Chika might see me and misunderstanding things and mom said some things about all these yahoo guys that have started using touch and follow and they're all driving Lexus 330 and it's yahoo guys color and...

All these thoughts and more were swirling in my head as I noticed them preparing to revise and drive towards me.

If I'm gonna be kidnapped might as well be where people are, I thought as I speedily crossed the road.

Their cars missed me by a hair breath and they drove off.

I heaved a sigh of relief.

"You dey run?" One of the passersby that has been observing the whole scene asked in broken English.

"My girl no wants people wey carry car oo na legedisbenz wey she wants," another one remarked.

"No min them you fine too much,"

"Come follow me I carry legedisbenz."

"Na popcorn girl abi."

"Yes oo."

I tuned their voices out and ignored them calming my racing heart as I continued to the shop.

*~*~*~*~*
"Mom is gonna flip," I squealed as I counted the ten thousand seven hundred and fifty naira that was in my apron.

It was more than my normal daily sales.

"Someone's in a good mood."

I looked up and saw Chika smiling at me.

He bent down to my level and kissed me.

I blushed. 

He's so sweet and always displaying affections for me in public.

"Good evening," I greeted.

"What's got you so psyched?" he asked.

"I made lots of sales and I'm still gonna make more," I replied.

"Nice," he smiled, "let me see the pics you took today."

I handed him my phone and proceeded to do other things in the shop.

"Baby, what's your password and why did you even lock this phone?" he questioned.

"It's RARE GEM and I locked the phone because of my brother," I replied.

A few minutes later I felt the atmosphere tense up. I'm not a psychic or stuff but I do have a sixth sense of when something is wrong.

I turned back and saw Chika staring at me like I'm a stranger. I shivered from his cold stare.

"What is the problem?" I asked.

"Who's Moses?" he fired back.

"My cousin," I replied still confused.

"Why are you telling people it's your parents that bought this phone for you?" He had a murderous look in his eyes.

"People kee? Who and who?" I was still confused.

"I na aju m who and who. M na gi bu zi eberi", he snapped.

"No, it's not like that I..." I was shut up immediately as I felt a sting.
