The
tale I am about to share
Took
place well over a decade ago
But
I still cannot resist the urge
To
share it
Especially
with those
Who constantly
spur me to write diaries/memoirs like this
Today…
I am
going to use real names and factual places.
I
can’t recall the precise year
But there
are three characters in this story
And the
location was Ikeja
The
first two characters are brothers
The younger
one was named Sule
While
the older one
Was called
Ismaila.
For the
records
They
were not what I would readily call childhood friends
Rather,
they just surfaced
The way
strange chaps often just appear in the neighbourhood
In those
teenage years
Incidentally,
these boys were ‘Aunty Kuburat’s sons
Those
who read the piece ‘Why did Aunty Kuburat do it’
Would
understand this better
Aunty
Kuburat was the strange neighbour I knew back then as a kid
Yes!
The
one who used soap to brush her teeth
Every
morning
Back
to the story
We had
Sule
His brother
Ismaila
And
the third person was Sefiyat
Yes!
Sefiyat
was a girl
And she
was not related to Sule and Ismaila in any way
Sefiyat
was my second cousin
And as
at the time of this incident
We were
all teenagers
I
was just an observer
And
that was all I did
I
observed the three characters involved closely
Especially
From
the moment
When
I knew that there was something amiss
Back
to the tale
The
duo of Sule and Ismaila boyishly lusted after Sefiyat
Perhaps
What
they felt for her
Might
be better described as infatuation
Because
whenever I was opportune to be a part of their discussion
I
always marveled
At how
they would go on and on
About
matters relating to Sefiyat and their feelings for her
Especially
feelings
That
revolved around words like
Bed,
breasts, ass, orgasm, sexual pleasure and the likes
Of
the two brothers
Sule
had a more confident approach
As it
was crystal clear to both of them
That
there was no way they could share Sefiyat
So
while Sule took the driver’s seat
To
hunt Sefiyat down and claim his prize
Ismaila
was forced to the bench like an injured footballer
It
therefore didn’t come as a surprise
When
Sule surprisingly
And confidently
considered himself Sefiyat’s ‘honey pie
Though
this was not openly declared
But
it was an open secret
The
brothers shared
Sule
was not the shy type
And I
wasn’t caught unaware
When
he began making moves
Towards
luring Sefiyat into his love nest...
There
was no doubt about the fact that
Of all
the qualities Sefiyat possessed
The one
Sule was overtly excited about
Was her
physical form and endowments
To
me
Sefiyat
was just like any other girl
But to
Sule
She
stood out like a Greek goddess
Her
breasts like fresh apples
Waiting
to be plucked and sweetly chewed upon
Her
ass like a teddy
To
be held and caressed
Her
lips like berries
To
be licked, gently nibbled at and sucked
Her
nipples
Often
straining against the fabric of her blouse
Never
failed to set Sule ablaze with a flameless fire
And it
didn’t take too long before she became
An item
of obsession for the young man
However
If Sefiyat
had shared
Even
half of what Sule felt for her
Perhaps
They
would have been able to strike an intimate equilibrium
Which,
would have enabled Sule have his way
And
sensually fulfill his erotic quest
Of
ploughing Sefiyat’s Promise Land
Which
lay somewhere between the girl’s voluptuous thighs.
Unfortunately
She did
not
And consistently
turned down Sule’s request for intimacy
Without
even batting an eyelid
She
wouldn’t even let Sule touch her
Let alone
fan his ember of seduction
The
harder he tried to lure her into bed
The stronger
her resistance
And this
continued for quite some time.
I
knew for a fact
That
Sule was no gentleman
And that
there was no way he was going to succeed
In his
plan to have sex with Sefiyat
But
like an observer that I was
I
merely watched as the drama unfolded on a daily basis.
Despite
the fact that I was young
I did
not fail to realize
That
Sule was a poor student of the laws of attraction
He
was not neat
He was
overtly vulgar in his ways
He
lacked tactical knowledge of seduction
He
was abysmally loud and vain and generally unrefined
He
would curse
Fight,
appear untidy, violent
And was
regrettably unattractive to Sefiyat
In
any possible way
Sefiyat
on the other hand
Might
not have been the perfect city girl
But she
did not share or admire these qualities Sule possessed in any way.
After
a few weeks
Of
trying and constantly failing
Frustration
began to set in for Sule
And whenever
I saw the look in his eyes when he looked at Sefiyat walk by
I
knew the young man had begun to scheme
I
once asked him out of curiosity:
“Ki
lo ma wa se nisiyin (which in Yoruba language meant:
‘So,
what are you going to do next?’)” and he had replied:
“Mo
ma get omoyi (which translated into:
‘I’m
going to get this girl’ in Yoruba language).
Suddenly
Sule
hatched a plan to get Sefiyat whether she liked him or not
And I
had no idea what he was planning until the grand finale
Sule’s
plan was to corner Sefiyat
While
she was having her bath in the bathroom
There
were two bathrooms in the house
And they
were only divided by a wall/fence.
On
the d-day
Sefiyat
had entered one of the bathrooms
Just
as she did everyday to take her bath
The
moment Sule saw her go in
He swung
into action
And quickly
went into the second bathroom
And
locked the door from his end
He
shed his clothes until he was left with only his underwear on
And
this happened to be a black pant
He
deftly put his feet on the water closet
And climbed
to the very top of the wall
At
this point
He could
hear Sefiyat move around preparing to have her bath
Though
he couldn’t see her
He
would hear her movement and the shower running
He
must have licked his lips in excitement
As his
third leg began to respond, nod and grow hard and erect
In anticipation
of the sweetness of the things he would do to Sefiyat
When
he finally got to her
Others
might have called this a rape plan
But
to Sule
It
was a way of finally getting Sefiyat to succumb
To
the erotic instrumentals
He
had been playing for her all along
Sule
definitely knew a whole lot of things
But
one thing he did not know
Was
that while he had a seemingly perfect plan
There
was a dark cloud
Hanging
on the horizon
The
bathroom was all tiles
And while
this made it easy to clean
It however,
proved to be Sule’s nemesis
The
wall was quite high
And just
as Sule
Was about
to place his feet on the water closet in the bathroom Sefiyat was in
Disaster
struck…
He slipped
Fell…
All
the way from the top of the fence
And he
screamed: “Yeeeeeeeeeeee…!”
His
eyes opening wide in a terrifying mixture of horror and panic
Sule
found himself in mid air
Struggling
to grab onto something, anything
But
failed woefully to do so
By
the time Sule hit the floor tiles
From
the high wall from which he had slipped
He did
so with an extremely loud thud
As
he reflexively screamed out in pain
Because
he landed on his belly
And struck
the tiled floor very hard too
Smashing
his rib cage into the cold hard floor of the bathroom
Out
of shock and fear
Sefiyat
dashed out of the bathroom screaming
Without
even bothering to see who or what had made the disturbing noise.
Fortunately
for her
She was
yet to remove her towel
So it
was easy for her to run out of the bathroom
In a
bid to escape from whatever it was that had howled out so loud
Naturally
People
close by quickly gathered and comforted the terrified girl
Sule
knew his game was up
His
romantic script
Had
suddenly turned into a dramatic tragedy
The
wind had finally blown
And
the hen’s anus was out in the open
Exposed
and glaring
Leaving
a fouls stench in its wake
Sule
knew he could not stay in the bathroom forever
So
he decided the best thing he could do
Was
to seek an escape
By
the time he desperately dashed out of the bathroom
He was
only clad in his wet black pant
Running
away with his erect manhood shamelessly pointing forward
To
make matters worse
He had
an amazingly solid erection
And had
lines of the tiles all over his chest and stomach
A very
clear indication that he had hit the ground very hard
Sule
tried to escape
And
ran as fast as his legs could carry him
However
The
culprit didn’t get far
As he
was chased down and caught by an older man
Who had
seen Sefiyat run out of the bathroom
While
men and women comforted Sefiyat and tried to clam her down
The man
who caught Sule knew precisely what to do with the randy boy
I
remember the man very well
He
was big, tall, very strong and had very powerful hands
I
remember him dragging (a struggling and screaming) Sule along with him
Towards
a tall tree
That
had thick and strong branches
I
remember how he used one hand
To cut
a very long branch off the tree
While
still using the other hand to pin Sule to the ground
And by
the time he descended on Sule…
Your
guess is as good as mine
Sule
howled out loud like a wounded dog
As I
held my belly laughing my head off

Dedication
I’m dedicating this poem to all the girls,
ladies and women who have been kind enough to put a smile on my face. You all
know yourselves and I am indeed very grateful to you all. To you, it might have
seemed like just another little thing to do but as far as I am concerned, they
were ‘golden’ and carried the weight of gold as they always will. Thank you so
much.
Note: If you feel that you have read a similar piece before, you would be
absolutely right as I had earlier published an unrevised version titled ‘He
Wanted Sex with Her By All Means’ online in prose format. This is a totally
revised version in verse format and was also posted online under the title 'CLOSE'. Thanks for reading. *wink*
