Myself, my girlfriend and my dad:  A memorable embarrassing moment.  

©

Good day everyone from the @hivenaija community. I feel excited about this week's writing topics because I can relate to all of them. But in the meantime let me thrill you with this real-life experience.

The memory is still fresh in my head. It all happened during my university days. I had a beautiful girl I dated and the love was stronger than the oldest Iroko tree in the forest. At the end of my second semester, I had to travel back home for a two-week break. Universities in Nigeria are so wicked. Why would they give people who had been through a hectic learning atmosphere for the past three months just two weeks' break? I needed to take full advantage of the break period so I hit the road the same day that I finished my examination. Moreover, I knew that the girl who loved me so much would be eager to see me. I had called her earlier that I would be home, so as usual she had prepared for my arrival.

Not too long after, the journey of two hours lasted for about four hours because of the nature of Nigerian roads. I got home safely and I thanked God for that. It was late in the night I couldn't meet with my girl, so we planned a sit-out the next day. Being brought up in a Christian home is always very difficult to keep friends of the opposite sex, if you must do so, then it should be in secret because if you're caught, the devil inside of you will be severely dealt with. Even at University level, I was still afraid of letting my parents know I had a girlfriend. I wouldn't blame anyone but it's an African culture.

The following day, I went to see my girl in disguise to visit my mom in her shop. My girl sells for her sister who's next to my mom's shop, so it was a good privilege to play things out. In the evening, as usual, my mom left the shop and asked me to look after the shop. It was an answer to prayer. So I was fully in charge. At the close of the day, I called my mom informing her that I wouldn't be able to come home and that I would rather sleep at the shop. There was a mattress at the back end of the shop.

Incidentally, my girl too told her sister that she won't spend the night at her place and that she would go back home to their family house. Everything was working well until my dad arrived at the shop at exactly 10 pm. I was about to lock the door of the shop. My girl had already entered the back end of the shop and was lying on the mattress. My dad went into the shop and found my girl. Beloved I felt that I had a superpower to vanish. But I could not. The rest became a story.
