Once upon a time in the middle ofJune, 2002, I woke up dazzling and
strong. I was so happy and thankful
to be alive. It was a big day for me
as I was prepared to represent
Instabuild Inc. in a National debate
on a Contract journalists referred to
as “the Tower of the Millennium”. I
was just 28 and one would wonder
how such a big and delicate debate
on a multimillion dollar project has
been assigned to me. The answer
was not far-fetched, my resume
spoke volume of my ability. I
graduated as the best MSc student in
Architecture from the Most
prestigious Heriot-Watt University in
the UK. I’m a certified Project
Manager with a wealth of experience
working with top companies in the
UK. I would say, I had the body and
brain of Mike but the swag and guts
of Harvey. SUITSUSA

In no time, the company’s convoy,
including the board of directors,
arrived at my resident. I sat next to
the chairman of my company, I had
nothing else on my mind but the
debate. ‘Are you ready for this?’, the
chairman asked, “yes, i am, this is
the game i play, a game of cards at
that, and speaking of which, all my
cards are aces” I said with a chronic
confidence, he smiled, as he looked
away.
Finally, we arrived at the venue. I
was not taken aback when I saw
dignitaries arriving at the
presentation, indeed it was a very
important event for the Nation.
Funny enough, and unsurprisingly,
of the three companies which got
invited, I was the first called to the
podium to present. I made the
presentation with splendor. As
expected, my company won the
contract, with a lot of effort.

I was still receiving congratulatory
remarks, from all and sundry, when
two beautiful, delectable, and
elegant young ladies approached me.
Oh my! I couldn’t believe my sight
when I saw them, JANE and MARY.
These were the two brackets I had
back in school. Jane, 27, light in
complexion, average height, podgy
but pretty. Mary, 27, chocolate skin
colour, tall, just like me, she’s
always strong-headed but she’s
charming. “It’s been five years I left
school, and these ladies are still as
alluring as ever” I thought.
The whole tale started in my second
year in school. Jane and Mary just
got admitted to my department, they
both came directly to me asking for
the right route to the faculty.
“excuse me” Jane said, I turned
around blabbing, as if that was my
first time seeing such beauties, “how,
how, m… may i help you?” I
blabbed. Mary voiced out “please,
can you show us the right route to
the faculty of environmental
science? ” I was startled, should I
call this love at first sight? No!
Infatuation? Maybe Not!. “I advice
you take a motorcycle, it’s faster,
and the motorcyclist know his ways”
I said with utmost joy. Thanks, says
Jane. I did not tell them they will be
coming to my faculty, “I love you” I
whispered, as they left.
Weeks passed on, I have spent the
past weeks watching these ladies…
checking them during lectures,
spying on them as they move
together … they must be best
friends, because they were always
found together. On a sunny
Wednesday afternoon, both were
sitting together, as usual, solving a
particular question, they had been
on that particular question for the
past thirty minutes, as i had been
spying on them. ” You are missing
the most important constant value,
ma’am “, I said with confidence.
Both look into my face wondering; ”
looks like we’ve met before” Jane
said, “yes, we have”, “I was the guy
you met, asking for the right route to
the faculty”. Both grinned, ” I am
Paul, a 200 hundred level student,
department of architecture ” I said
that with a bit of pride. ” Are you
saying that we are in the same
department? ” Mary asked
laconically, Yes ma’am, I said. Wow!
I’m Mary, and, my friend, Jane. “You
are welcome to our campus, I wish
you best of time. Thank you, Jane
responded. Since then, we became
the trio of the department. We did
things together, read in the same
place, visited each other regularly
and as it does happens, I almost
forgot my old friends.
I have always liked Jane, but not as
much as I loved Mary. She did not
know I had a crush on her, she was
my type; in terms of posture, and
carriage, she was awesome. I could
not confront her, I was a bit scared, I
was and still in a set of people who
doesn’t take “No” for an answer.
Instead, I told Jane, her friend. Jane
told me that it would be better if I
told her first. Then, I summoned
courage, and told Mary what I had
for her. She gave me a very
straightforward negative answer;
“Paul, you are a great guy, everyone
knows that, but there is no way you
and I can date, so take your heart off
it.” She said.
