COMPARISON; A THIEF OF JOY EP. 3

Everything went well while I was at home, I felt peace because my parents didn't feel pressured with what happened, I must say that their ability to handle situations is top notch because what is this awesomeness?. The family went smoothly and about their days while I was at home. 

Three weeks later, school resumed and I  went back to school. Got into my room, muttered some thanksgiving words, poured out the food I brought from home into their appropriate places, cleaned up, rearranged the room, ate and slept. I didn't open my eyes a bit till the next day. I got up, prayed and stayed in the room to sort out books and write out things that would be needed for this new level, as I was to send them home for funds. After a few hours, I got bored and decided to take a stroll to the school premises as my house wasn't far from school.

When I got to the school, I decided to stroll towards the next nearest garden after the one at the school entrance, it's my favorite spot. Stepping into the heritage garden of UI, I saw a few people all lovey dovey, I hissed and minded my business. Thankfully, my favorite spot had not been taken, so I sat down and brought out my phone and started to see a movie while I was enjoying the coolness that came with every breeze that blew.

An hour into my stay, I felt something bit my leg, it was a mosquito trying to remind me it was getting late and that I needed to return home. As I hit myself hard to get rid of the mosquito and lift myself to leave, my eyes beheld a beauty, she had a carved figure which was twine-thin. Her waist was like a funnel-shaped point and she had a blazing dark complexion. A pair of artful eyebrows accompanied by sweeping eyelashes. Her exquisite ears mount a button nose. A set of dazzling, angel-white teeth glittered as she chew gently on the innocent chocolate candy. It was so pleasing to see her long, shadow-black hair. Her enticing eyes balls almost caught my gaze as I quickly looked back at my phone. I was still in the euphoria of her beauty and my eyes went back to what it was doing and went straight to her heart shaped lips, I was literally expectorating over this lady when her phone rang and I almost screamed, "what mana luf beauty is this, my God?" She had a really sugary voice, which made me more attracted to her. I know I'm saying too much but of a truth, complementing her beauty is a great taste for fashion and the clothes she was on, really did justice to her beauty and I couldn't take off my eyes, sat back for a while and stole glances and I shouted within "what!!!? God dhe create brooooooo", I said to myself. I took an unsure step towards her and initiated a conversation.

"Hi Pretty, how are you?", she gave me an unsure look and said "I'm fine, and you?". "I'm fine too", I answered not really sure of what next to say but I pressed on. "My name is Olanrewaju, and you?", "My name is Omoshalewa, please how may I help you?", she answered. Guy, the question took me off balance, but as a sharp guy, I still pressed on (Emi Agba Presser). I said I just saw her and decided to say hello to her, then she smiled and said "Oh thank you Lanre, that was so thoughtful of you and it's nice meeting you". "It's my pleasure, do you mind if I...", her phone rang, she looked at it and said, "oh sorry, my ride is here", and left  immediately. I stood there for a while and left the garden hoping to see her again.

I got home only to get a notice that there was lecture for the next day. It caught me off balance as I had a totally different plan but I prepared and tried to sleep early so I would get to the lecture room before the lecturer, as I couldn't  afford to beg anybody, but I struggled to sleep as the thoughts of Shalewa clouded my mind and I muttered some prayers hoping our paths would cross once more. It was during the prayers that I slept off.

7am, my alarm rang and I jumped off my bed, said some prayers while I prepared my bathing water and dashed out for the bathroom (you know the guys kind of bath when they're rushing now, lol). In 30 minutes, I was out on the road and in another 15 minutes, I was settled for lectures. Thankfully, the lecturer has not arrived, so I brought out my phone, opened whatsapp and the moment I did, I perceived a perfume and the smell was pretty familiar but I couldn't remember who wore the perfume the last time I perceived it. In a bid to confirm who it was, I lifted up my head and "oh my God..." 

To Be Continued...

While you wait, take a guess, who did Lanre see?
