Musbau and Balikis were my classmates in high school and lovebirds. After the teachers have tried their best to separate them and stop them from dating which was not allowed in school, they backed off after these two lovebirds were not conquered.
This happened till we got to our final year at high school.
What are you always waiting for. Let’s walk fast to school, I felt concerned after seeing Balikis wait by the road for three days consecutively. I never liked to mind my business so I waited at a corner hoping to see who she was waiting for. It was Musbau, her rumored boyfriend in high school. That was when I believed that these two were dating.
You two are causes of distraction for each other and I will make sure that I tell your parents not to allow you two go to the same higher institution, Late Mrs Shenge, our previous principal entered our class one day and said that to the two of them while she was addressing the whole finalists.
Truly, Mrs Shenge did that. She reported to their parents. No parent wants a distraction for her child and things worked out just as Mrs Shenge wanted it. When we all gained admission into the university, Musbau and Balikis were enrolled into different private universities.
Abojode, there’s something going on. Can I call, my best friend, Eniola will never send me this text if there is nothing serious to talk about.
What! You mean Balikis is pregnant for Musbau, I was surprised because the two of them were not attending the same university and their schools were two states far from each other so how do they see?
I passed by Balikis’s house when I heard the gist and it was true. Her parents were disappointed in her. She dropped out from school and stayed at home for a year to give birth to her child.
When she gave birth, Musbau was denied to access his child including his family members. This went on for eighteen months and I thought the two lovebirds had given up already.
Abojode, please help me get this letter to Musbau, my institution is just two hours away from my house so I go home everyday. That’s why Balikis used that as an opportunity to send letters to Musbau.
I got to Musbau’s house and handed the letter to him. Unexpectedly, Musbau burst into tears. I snatched the letter from him to see what was in it.
I’m leaving for the United Kingdom tomorrow with our child. I’ll still use the same 2go account so we can always talk, 2go was the reigning social media then. I now understood why Musbau burst into tears. On that day, I helped Musbau and Balikis transfer up to five different letters.
After Balikis traveled, Musbau spent over three months in the hospital thinking he was not going to see her anymore. That’s all we all thought of until after we all graduated from the university then, my best friend, Eniola called me in the middle of the night.
Midnight calls get me scared because I feel it’s mostly based on emergencies.
What is it?, I asked angrily.
Musbau has gone to the United Kingdom to meet Balikis. Check his instagram account, I didn’t say a single word before hanging up the call. I immediately checked my instagram account and it was true.
How come they kept that relationship despite that their parents didn’t want them together? I was surprised because against all odds, they got back together.
Just last year, I saw a post of Musbau on instagram as he welcomes a baby girl with Balikis and during last year December, they both came to Nigeria to celebrate Christmas with their family members and Balikis parents had no choice than to accept Musbau as their son-in-law.
They had a simple wedding ceremony at the front of Balikis house. Some of my high school classmates who were still in the area also came around to witness their wedding ceremony.
It was fun and most importantly, the two of them got married despite how much they tried to be seperated. If there should be an example for a match made in heaven, I think it should be them because they went through a lot which was enough to put them apart but my two friends were dedicated to the relationship and made it work to the level of getting married and wanting to spend the rest of their lives with each other.
