Chapter 47b
(The following day, at around 2pm, Kurt was at his hotel room when he received a visitor...)
KURT : good to see you Stan...(Extending his handshake)
STAN : hey man...(Shaking and giving him a hug)...couldn't do this yesterday...
KURT : (laughing)...yeah...
STAN : it’s been about two years now...
KURT : oh well...you stopped coming over after your wedding...and trust me, that was when the real thing started.
STAN : you know how Suz can be....it wasn't like I didn't come around. I was in chicago last year, Suz and I came over. We had Bernie there you know...
KURT : yeah, just that you didn't let me know....
STAN : 'cause I know you'd wanna see me and what excuse will I give Suz....do you know she made me stay in the labour room with her when she was gonna have Bernie?
KURT : are you serious!
STAN : I tell you....it was outrageous Kurt! Thank God I'm no girl mehn....
KURT : (laughing)....I can imagine that...
STAN : no you can't, trust me you can't, the experience, its killing...I tell you what, the next baby we're gonna have, once her water breaks, I'm gonna pass out.
KURT : (laughing so hard)...oh wait, I thought you'd say you don't want any more kids?
STAN : hell no, of course I want more, but I don't wanna be in that delivery room.
KURT : (laughing)...come on Stan, don't be a Sissy...
STAN : no please, let me be one, I don't mind....(Jokingly)......so, tell me, how's it going?
KURT : very well man....come, sit down...(Leading him to a comfortable seat).....I'll get you a drink...(Stands up to get some drinks)...
STAT : you bought Da Cassle's too?
KURT : yeah. That was before we renamed it.
STAN : good offer?
KURT : yeah a good one. Though it was auctioned, I bought all the buyers out so the price was what I wanted...(Gives him a wink)
STAN : hmmm....
KURT : Stan, I really need your help.
STAN : tell me...
KURT : Bukola...how can I see her?
STAN : huh? You asking me that? I thought you have your way of getting things done...Kola for example, why don't you tell him to look Bukola up, find out everything about her, where she works, what she....
KURT : (cuts in)...no, not Kola.
STAN : why?
KURT : moreover, I can't have her followed like a criminal...
STAN : (laughing so hard)....really...?
KURT : I can't stalk her, can't do that to her...
STAN : I see...
KURT : please Stan I need your help on that...please...?
STAN : hmm...I knew you'll come to me for that...(Adjusting on his)
KURT : I tried to talk to her yesterday, but met a brick wall.
STAN : what do you expect from a girl you ignored for so many years?
KURT : ignored?...(Pouring the drink in the glass)
STAN : but of course....
KURT : you can't totally say I ignored her....I mean, you're talking like I know she's in love with me, yet I...
STAN : (cuts in)...come on Kurt! A girl risked everything just to bring out the truth, to save you from that hell hole and you tell me you don't know she's in love with you? What then did she do that for? Money? Come on...
KURT : (bringing the drink to him)...I wasn't sure about what she feels and moreover, you know I....
STAN : (cuts in)...stop giving excuses Kurt...you've really hurt that girl...
KURT : she's really mad at me...
STAN : wait, you expect less, after showing up with another girl and a supposed son?
KURT : but...
STAN : (cuts in)...no buts Kurt.
KURT : fine....is she not dating someone else too?...
STAN : oh...she shouldn’t? You expect her to be waiting for one Jide who she has no idea where he is? Or how he even feels about her? Come on man....snap out of it. She's got to move on. You made it clear you don't want to have anything to do with her.
KURT : who says? I never said that...
STAN : yeah you didn't, but your actions said it all Kurt.
KURT : Stan, I realized how much I love her after I spoke to her harshly at the penitentiary...
STAN : well, all that is over now.... 'cause you're married.
KURT : no I'm not...
STAN : what do you mean you're not?
KURT : I'm not married yet...I love Bukola, I'm crazy about her...
STAN : (cuts in)...oh that's so obvious...I mean, you kept in touch didn't you?
KURT : I was preoccupied with studies..... Catching up, running two course at the same time, and you know what else I've been up to after...
STAN : (cuts in)...that's no excuse...you ran those two courses between 3 years and you should have gotten in touch with her even with that. You've got a brain that walks like the german machine, seven times faster, so you can take up anything. You were just being unnecessarily repulsive...and this story of you not being married, what's that? Where did the girl and the kid come from? Don't tell me you got her pregnant...
KURT : (cuts in)...no Stan. I've not being with any woman all my life!
STAN : (shocked)...what! What's that? Are you gay?
KURT : no! I'm not gay, damn it!
STAN : Then why are you married, why...
KURT : (cuts in)…And I'm not married, that was just a demo...
STAN : hmm...so, you mean you're a straight guy and you've not been with a woman?
KURT : not even for a minute.
STAN : what! That's weird...are you sure you're okay?
KURT : of course I am...
STAN : no I don't think so. We really need to check that stuff if it’s...
KURT : (cuts in)...what do you mean you don't think so? I'm perfectly alright.
STAN : no, its not normal....I mean, you've got to test if that shit is working mehn...
KURT : (looking at Stan ridiculously)...what do you mean by that?
STAN : yeah...I mean you got to be sure the stuff's got all its vitamins and strength...come on, you know what I mean...
KURT : (cuts in)...enough of the jokes Stan....
STAN : (laughing)....but seriously now....you can't be serious...
KURT : I'm dead serious Stan...I've not being with any woman all my life.
STAN : (stands up)....wow... why is that...?
KURT : because...because, it has to be a woman I really want to be with...
STAN : so are you trying to say you've not met any woman you want to be with?
KURT : I did, a long time ago. But I messed it up....
STAN : hmmm.....
KURT : If only things didn't turn out this way...you know we would have studied at the same university in Manchester...
STAN : hmm…
KURT : and things wouldn't have been this difficult for me...now I don't even know how to get to see her...
STAN : that could be worked....though she's engaged now...
KURT : that's no barrier...
STAN : hmm....I love that spirit....
KURT : I couldn't get her off my mind since yesterday...in fact I couldn't sleep last night.
STAN : (laughing)....hmmm...
KURT : this is serious Stan....I'm ready to do anything just to get her back.
STAN : it wasn't like you had her before...
KURT : well...all I know is that I want her now...help me man....arrange a meeting with her, please Stan.
STAN : I'll help you, don't worry.
KURT : thanks man, I'll appreciate that.
STAN : so tell me about our stuff...how's it going?
KURT : come let's go down and have lunch...Kola will be here soon, we'll give you the update...
STAN : hey man...(Shaking and giving him a hug)...couldn't do this yesterday...
