Episode seven
The road to maiduguri is really fun,... I'm not talking about the main road, I'm talking about those in bus with us are really fun traveling with..actually some hate us while some admire us.. Lemme give you a little tips of what happened.
When we reach Ibadan, ojoh park, the people at the park told us that it just remain 4 people for us take off, we meet this girl there...her name is tania, she's really pretty, actually I admire her beauty but her beauty isn't even near my Zainab, we just hi her and got a sit near her,.
Actually we reach Ibadan around 10am from Iseyin LG and the time right now is 2:15 ,I am thinking whether we will take off that day. I was in my thoughts when we got a new passenger, she was a girl, she sat beside me.. She can't even say hi.. I just look at her and smile.
We are still at the park till around 6:50, we are complaining about how they are delaying us when they call on someone that it's time to take off, we are all glad that we are finally moving, the man start the bus and voom we are on our way to maiduguri (in our mind tho).
We almost reached oyo town when the bus break down, we all notice that the driver actually did something to the bus cuz the bus stop when the drive press something which we don't know what it is.. We got off the bus shouting at the driver that what's going on... Why did the bus stop?, he told us we are to go back to Ibadan because this bus can't take us to that distance journey, we haven't reach oyo town and it break down, what if we have already been far.
all of us in the bus are just complaining, someone ask the driver how we are going back to Ibadan when the bus isn't starting. The driver told us that he will try to do something about it... He went back inside and re-press what he press before, start the bus and it we went back to Ibadan... on reaching there, it's as if they already know we are coming back, they told us they are sorry for the disappointment, they said its already late to take off that day cuz its almost 9pm....me and my friend was like... What the fuck... We have no option than to sleep at Ibadan, those at the park ask us to sleep at the park that we are safe, I was like me? Park?
We called our friends that are schooling at polytechnic of Ibadan that we are coming to their side, me and my friend BJ try to ask those girls to follow us to the place. Bj Will ask Tania out while I will ask the other girl if she will follow us.
me: hi
The girl: hi
Me: I'm sulaiman by name
The girl: I'm Deborah
Me: uhmmm.. Nice name and the sweetest part of it is that.. All the Deborah I knew are beautiful and sweet
Deborah : she laugh it out..u funny
Me: are you staying at the park? Cuz we ain't... We are going to poly to sleep.
Deborah : no I'm not sleeping at park.. And I don't think I will follow you guys
me: why? Oh... Trust issue right.
Deborah : kinda
Me: Lolz... You have have every right not to trust me but our documents are in here at the park and they will know we went to the same place together ( I just convinced her and she agreed)
We told those people at the park that we ain't sleeping there that we are going to logged, we will be back tomorrow morning. The other passengers were like WTF, are we going along with those girls we said yeah.. There is this guy that wanted to come along but we declined.
We reach our destination and bla bla bla.... It's morning already, we reach park and they are all looking at us like some motherfuckers ....who cares ,we switch seat, I sat with Deborah while bj with Tania... We don't even bother to think of people looking at us....we are just gisting, laughing etc.... All this while some guys in the bus with us ain't happy, we got to a town to get something to eat when those guys come meet us that,
First guys: hi bro
Me and bj: hi
They wink to each other then the second guy said
Second guy: boss it's unfair o.. You guys enjoy your night together abeg let us tap too nah
Me: tap to? As in?
First guy: you guys should leave those girls for us to nah.. The way you guys are handling them let us take over boss
bj: oh... It's OK... Go and talk to them, they are all yours
I was like what the heck is wrong with bj how can he just let them, those guys went and meet them, bought them food and some drinks, to their surprise those girls bring the food to us and we chop am together just can't stop laughing inside me.
those guys never alter a word to us again and I know they are really angry at us, there is this husband and wife behind me they will just look at me and smile... I was like what's wrong with this guys...
At night... Deborah have slept off on my shoulder but I notice her body is shaking, it seems she's catching cold.. I told her to use my sweater which she decline just then she hugged me saying she will be OK like this... I look back and this husband and wife are smiling at me again... I just smile back and the husband told me to take care of her... I was like take care of her? Inside bus.. Abi this one is not OK ni? He noticed how I looked him and he said what he mean is that we should share the sweater together she will be OK like that... I did as he said and things went (muah )?
We reached maiduguri, the husband collected our number and said he really likes smart kids like us... We take use of any opportunity we got....he smile again and said he will get in touch with us... While those two guys don't even said anything, Deborah was recruited as and Air Force in maiduguri, which she told me after we are about to depart, we exchange contact and she zoom off.
bj told me that Tania is also a new intake, we are going to the same school...i smile...
My queen called me, asking me if have reached ,we talk for 3 minutes and I told her I will call her back when I reach school.
I got to hostel and don't even call her, the next day.. I saw 15 missed calls...and 7 is from Zainab while 8 is from mum and dad, I called them both and Zainab told me not to forget her, she told me some deep stuff which got me thinking that , just yesterday I dont even think of her that much, instead of missing her I missed Deborah.
Am I not getting out of the way?
Hope I'm not the one to break things between us(me and Zainab)
