      ONE

      I watched him from a side view in the room, staring into space, his glass of wine mid-way to his lips, his ego deflated. As handsome and confident as he looked, wearing a nice grey shirt and black jeans with moccasins, I spotted unshed tears at the corner of his eye. Poor fellow. Everyone seemed to give him some space right after that brutal unleashing.

      I had just arrived from the United States where I’d gone to study and my homies decided to throw a welcome party for me. I’d been away for ten years, and so glad to be back to join my father to run his hospital. Before I left Nigeria, I had studied Biochemistry. Then travelled to the States to study medicine and then done my residency, and then come back, but through all those years, I’d kept my many close friends close.

      I stopped Ezinne, the chief hostess of the party, as she waltzed past with a plate of food. Who’s he?

      Ezinne looked round. Who?

      I nodded toward that general side of the hall. Him.

      Oh. Ezinne chuckled and pulled me further away. It’s a long story.

      I can see that.

      The poor guy had been denied by an old flame right in the middle of the room, while everyone heard and saw.

      Ngo is now a big Lagos girl, and dating that rich fool over there. Ezinne looked toward the area.

      I looked too and saw the girl, Ngozi, chatting with a group of friends. The pot-bellied ‘rich fool’ laughed and talked in the middle of the group. Though Ngozi and I were never friends during our University days, she had always been around my clutter of friends.

      "You know all these Alaba boys who just have stinking money but no decorum. Shior. Ezinne turned to me. Let me get this food over to Chidom."

      I looked back at the polished sweet thing Ngozi just washed right in front of all of us. He had walked in a few moments ago, and after greeting Ezinne, spotted Ngozi. I blame him for trying to talk to her in front of all of us, but he’d seemed discreet. His voice had been low. Though not enough.

      Hey, Ngozi. Hi, he’d said.

      Ngozi turned to him. Oh hi. Her voice was chilled enough to freeze the air.

      I’d been trying to call you, text, no response. You stopped picking my calls, he said softly.

      Ngozi snickered. Of course, you were becoming a nuisance.

      He arched his nicely-shaped eyebrow. At that time, he should have stepped back, smiled and turned to someone else. Instead, he replied her. In what way? We have a relationship. An agreement. How did I…?

      "Excuse me, what agreement did I have with you? What relationship? Abeg abeg."

      The ‘rich fool’ had stepped forward. Who is this?

      Ngozi waved her hand. Search me o. I don’t know.

      Is he trying to friend you, where I am?

      By now, all eyes were on them. I knew it was rude to eavesdrop but none of the parties involved seemed to care.

      Ngozi laughed. Can he?

      He must be stubborn or stupid to continue, but he did. Before you went for your two-month trip to China, didn’t we have a relationship?

      Rich fool picked his nose. What kind of relationship?

      I don’t know, darling. Please excuse me.

      Excuse you? Ngozi, what's going on? Why are you behaving like we’re strangers?

      "Excuse me! Who
