MISS TAWA...II

Prologue:

As she remained tackled to the ground

Anxiety and fear pumping through her vein

Aderopo seemingly thought no one was around

And his desire to revenge did not wane

The sordid tale continues yet again

To examine the uncertain aftermath

How Miss Tawa had to deal with the bane

Of the prince’s dark and cynical path

How can this possibly ever be?

After all that was said and done

All she wanted was for him to see

That their love was second to none

The chemistry started long before

And over the years grew as a whole

For feelings on either side came to fore

One spirit, one being, one unified goal

From her wine glass she took delightful sips

Thinking of what next to do

As all day long she dreamt about his lips

The charm of Aderopo’s woo

So why did Ropo want her dead?

Why did he want to force his way?

Freely she would have given in instead

Would she see the light of day?

As she lay there thinking all hope was lost

“I am no longer a virgin” she helplessly said

But his alter ego wanted his way at all cost

And all she felt was a bang in her head!

The tensions grew very high that night

Agbekoya and Danladi arrived on the scene

To save the day and end her fright

But she was left distraught like never seen

She walked steadily towards where he laid

As tears kept running down her face

All she could think of was the friendship pact they made

And held him close in a warm embrace

Mixed emotions as he lay in her arms

A life so promising and a love so true

Ropo opened his eyes but not gone were his charms

To tell her “Please forgive me and I love you”

She wished she had known much earlier

How to help him with his troubled past

But as things began to get clearer

His anguish and pain were over at last

Epilogue

With no more Akote mysteries left to solve

Her voice and  her smile faded along with the fear

As she continued to cling to her true love

To foster their friendship elsewhere…

Inspired by award winning director Kunle Afolayan's movie "October 1", Tunde Babalola's script writing and Kehinde Bankole's acting as "Miss Tawa" . This poem is the writer's imagination on how things would have concluded for "Prince Aderopo" and "Miss Tawa". A mixture of actual events from the movie and fictional events based on sheer imagination.
