I received the greatest shock of my life when
I found out that it was the person I was not even thinking of at the moment was the person that
stood in front of me loaded with what I could guess that it was foodstuffs.
"Where have you been since all this while
that I have been knocking at the door thinking you will open it in time "My
younger sister who has been at the door angrily said. So she has been knocking since
and I don't know, to the extent that I have been alone with my thought ssince all
this while. I began thinking "I'm
sorry Nilly, I was sleeping then" I lied to her as I try to yawn.
"My Brother, can you be sleeping all this
while without even knowing that someone is at the door" she complained
furthermore "woo, *ejo e ti poju jare*, will you enter or you will stay there
watching me" I snapped at her showing gestures to her to come in "hmmmm,
okay oooo" she said in a succumb manner "aahah where are your friends?
"she asked as she sat down on the long-flat bed which was carefully laid by
aside of the room "they are out for dinner" I replied without looking
at her side "then why don't you go with them" she asked in a concerned
manner "Dear, your questions are too much, will you deliver the message mum
sent to me" I angrily shouted at her "oh!! Please m sorry oo, if that
makes you infuriated" she said in the midst of fear when I shouted at her.
"whatever" I snubbed her "when*
bodami*, this your house is not easy to locate oo, you won't believe it, that it
was one aunty that led me to your room here" She narrated herself. Although,
when we were been shifted from 100level to 200level, I and my friends have
decided to be staying off a campus *But what is my sister trying to say, who is
that lady that can know where I live on off a campus when I don't even have a girl-friend
or a lover* I thought for a while "wait wait!! *Aburo*, who is that lady that
you said she led you here to my place" I asked her with 100% concern "hmmm,
actually I don't know her, but all she told me when she was leading me here was
that I should thank you for the other day" She said as she began to unravel
what she brought from mum "wait ooo, what exactly did she said that you should
thank me for in the first place" I asked her as my body began to feel
uncomfortable "hmmmmm, I can't remember *egbon mi* "she said as she sees
my full concentration on her lips "ahaha please aburo mi, remember please"
I began to beg her "hmm, okay I think I remember, she said that you paid for
her transport fare on that day" she said not noticing my reaction "whaaat,
you mean the lady brought you here? "I asked as I shouted with regret "yes
now," "and you can't call me that she's at the door so that I can come
to meet her" I said blaming her innocency "not like that now, I asked
her that she should wait for you so that you can help me thank her because she was
the one that did not let me to be missing by now and she even waited for you at
the door but when you did not answer on time, she said she had to take her leave"
Nilly(my sister)narrated. On hearing this from her, my legs began to shake as I
feel defeated.
So it was the person I have been thinking of that
was at the door with my sister since the past few minutes. "ooooooohhhhhhhhh,
I missed her again" I said as a drop of tear flowed out from my eyes "Hope
no problem bro?" my sister(Nilly) asked in shock "nothing dear"
I answered her meekly "well if you say so" "what did she call her
name for you?" I questioned her "Aahah, I did not ask that one from
her" she said as she help me to arrange the food in piles "Okay, is she
a little bit tall" I asked her "yes bro" "she is fair in complexion"
I continued asking "yes bro" she answered "she has a long curly natural
hair touching her waist" I asked lovely "ahah, bodami, have you ever seen
her before" my sister asked me in amazement "Nilly!!!!" I called
her name three times "Yes brother" she answered me with a full concentration
"you see what" "what brother?" she asked me in concern "that
lady that brought you here is the woman I *love*" I said in a brave
manner. "My brother, If you love her, then go for her" she said giving
me a hardened heart.
