Waiting For Her
Episode: Episode 6
••••√•••••√•••••√•√√√•
The girl I later discovered is Mitchell, she is
beautiful and so? I didn't try take the workbook
back from her, I let have it, you know, as first
impression. She alongside Veronica copied the
assignment together, Veronica on her own side
couldn't say a thing as she copied. About 30
minutes later, Veronica was done copying and she
left without even a thank you, I wasn't expecting it
anyways. I was now left with Mitchell who was still
engrossed with what she was writing. " Hey, you
didn't finish it, you left some place blank " she
looked up to me and caught me staring at her, "
Yes, I forgot to do that one, anyways, I have it in
my jotter" I told her as I handed my jotter to her, "
Thank you" She said as she copied it into her
manual, surprisingly, she also copied it into my
manual for me. " Wow, thank you for helping me
copy it" I appreciated, " Thank you for allowing me
to copy" She smiled, " We will be seeing " She
added and walked away, my gaze followed her until
she was out of sight. And that was how it all
started, that was how I met Mitchell. She also
happen to be in the same department as me but we
were never close then. She doesn't know me but I
always knew her right from our days in the pre
degree program, I have seen her a lot of times . We
got more close to each other more than just the
normal assignment friends stuff. She was also very
much in love with church, she would always tell me
that the reason why she isn't serious with her
studies is because of church activities. Truly, she
wasn't doing well with her studies but she was
willing to learn, she always wanted me to put her
through . We continued as normal class friends until
one day , she told me she would come and spend
the night at my place so that I can teach her till day
break. I was shocked at first, I never believe such
high classed girl would lay down such a proposal. "
Are you serious?" I asked her as I sat by her side in
class, she was reading her bible. " Of course I am,
or you don't want me to come? " she asked looking
up at me, " Why won't I, you are free to come" I told
her smiling happily. " But I am not coming alone o,
I am coming with Veronica" She announced , "
Why?" I asked not knowing when the words had
spilled off my mouth, "I feel more secured if she is
there and you can as well teach her" Mitchell said, I
nodded with a fake smile, I was happy she was
coming to see me, but the fact that Veronica is also
coming doesn't go well with me.
I ran off class the moment we were done with
lectures for that day, I first went to the ATM and
withdrew some money with which I bought
detergents which should be used to wash my toilet
and kitchen, I also bought some other things I can't
remember. I didn't bother to drop my bag as I got
home before setting to work, I arranged the room
and wash all that needed to be washed, I didn't
forget to clean my gas cylinder that was looking
like it hadn't been taken care of for about a decade.
" Gabriel, what is it, why are you arranging the
house today? " Matt and Victedo would ask me at
interval, " You know that girl I told you about,
Mitchell?" I started, " The one you say is very
beautiful?" Matt asked me, " Yes, that one " I agreed
with him, " She is coming to sleep over today" I
announced. " is that why you now want to kill
yourself? You should have told us and we will gladly
help you" Matt said getting hold of our small
broom. " let me go and mob the ceiling " Victedo
put in and we all bursted into laughter, " If after all
this arrangement, the girl now turns out to be ugly
as your ex girlfriend ehen, I won't forgive you" Matt
said as he swept the floor, " Was his ex that ugly?"
Victedo asked, " My brother, she was that ugly"
Matt stretched, " But she wasn't ugly to me o" I
said, " She was beautiful" I added. " With the way
you are talking now, an having this funny feeling
that this Mitchell girl will be ugly" Matt said, " Just
watch and see" I told him and continued with what I
was doing.
" Guys, come let's talk" I told them after we had
finished arranging the house, " Talk, we are listening
" Victedo said, " See, if you want to go to the toilet,
better go now, especially you Matt, its not when the
girl come that you will now destroy the whole place
with smell" I faced Matt, " Guy, the girl herself no
matter how beautiful she is do go to toilet and I
assure you, I am a learner in her side" Matt said
and we all laughed, " Abeg, you guys should try and
comport yourself when she comes, you guys should
not fight o, I know the two of you, please behave" I
begged them, " Okay sir" Victedo said lying on the
bed, " As for me, I won't put up any other behaviour
o, I will be myself" Matt said, " We will all be
ourselves but let's just behave" I said, " Okay " he
answered and also laid on the bed. I looked around
the room to see where need to be touched, but to
me , all was perfect. The time was just to seven so
I picked up my phone to do business, sorry I didn't
tell you guys, I sell books online , not books
exactly, buy my stories which I sell in PDF form just
to have something doing. At around 7:30pm, the
cloud changed, the cool breeze of the evening filled
my room, it wanted to rain. Not up to ten minutes
later, the rain began to pour, it started heavily and
didn't look like it was going to stop. My phone
came on, Mitchell was calling. " Hello Gabi, if this
rain doesn't stop, am sorry I can't come o" she said,
" okay Ma" I simply answered and she ended the
call. I stared at the phone as the screen went off, "
Rain, I beg you in the name of God, please stop" I
prayed with all my heart as I knelt down facing the
ceiling. 1 Like |

THE GUARDIANS OF TANKUTE
EPISODE 4 That was how Karma and Chila departed from our midst, I knew it wasnt over yet, Karma and Chila will surely come back for revenge one day. We didn’t have to wait longer, Chila and Karma soon came back, they didn’t attack Wenakite directly, they targeted his pregnant wife. They waited for her till she was nine month pregnant, apparently, they wanted to wipe out his whole generation, the unborn child, himself and his wife. As our culture and tradition put it, a man is meant to stay with his wife once she is up to 8 month pregnant. Wenakite has gone to perform his manly duty, to look after his wife. ” Take care of the warriors” he had told me before leaving, ” Take care of your wife” I told him patting his chest, ” Bye ” he shouted and rode off on his horse. • About a month later, when the warriors have started misbehaving and saying wenakite had taken longer than he should take with his wife, I decided to visit him. I rode on my new horse that fateful night, a new white horse which was given to me since I lost my former one. I got into the village at the darkest hour before dawn, without wasting time, I rode to Wenakite’s house. The door to the hut was open which was unusual for the villagers, they don’t open down their huts at that time of the night. I drew out my sword and advanced slowly into the hut, there was no one in it. ” What is he up to this time?” I asked myself looking round the room when my eyes caught the blood stain on the wall. ” They are in danger ” I shivered as I ran out and climbed on my horse not knowing what direction to run to. ” Wenakite!!!” I shouted as I patted my horse to ride towards the sea, maybe he went to dedicate his child, maybe he has given birth. I rode towards the sea and I could soon start to hear the clashing of swords, a fight was going on. I jumped down my horse and ran towards the spot, I could now see Wenakite on the floor, beside him was a baby and his dead wife. ” Wenakite” I called his name, he was still alive. ” Shallom, take care of my children, Karma and Chil…” Were his last words before passing away, he died. ” Wenakite!!” I shouted his name but all to no avail, he was dead. I stood up in tears and went towards his dead wife, I took the little baby boy beside her, he smiled at me. My tears dropped on his face and he even smiled the more, ” Evil child, your coming killed your parent” I laughed as I lifted him up to present him to the gods of strength, just then I heard another cry , I looked around and just beneath a tree was another baby, I walked towards him and it was then I discovered that Wenakite had twins. In Tankute, twins were thought to be evil, they are said to bring bad luck to anywhere they are, you must kill them once you see them. As a warrior and protector of Tankute, I knew I had to kill the twins but wenakite had asked me to protect his children. I looked at the two cute boys with tears in my eyes, they were cute. ” Don’t worry, I will protect you guys” I said to them, ” Karma and Chila must pay for what they have done” i told them like they could hear me. ” Today, I present you to the gods of strength and Wisdom, you to are Manhunters, one day you shall come back to protect your people and avenge the death of your parent, I know I have committed an abomination today by letting you two live, let the curse be on me” I shouted lifting them up towards the water. I dropped them on the ground and from a few leaves and sticks I could gather, I made a small basket. ” You belong to me, today I shall imprint on you, you shall never die” I said to one of them as I bit him on his chest, he automatically becomes a Man eater. I placed him in the basket and dropped him in the water, the water leads to the other village of Atata. I took the second and raised him up, ” I think you should be human” I said to him, he smiled again, strange child. I immediately disposed the body of wenakite and his wife, I don’t want the villagers to become shaken and scared of the Man eaters again. I dropped the baby on the ground and covered him up as I went towards where my horse was and climbed on it. I rode into the nearby bush where I could clearly see the baby. The day was now becoming bright, women will soon start coming towards the river to fetch water, they would usually come in the early hours of the morning when water is still very clean and pure. I could soon hear footstep approaching, someone was coming. I cleared the bushes in front of me to allow me have a clearer view of the baby and the one approaching. The woman was with a water pot, the day was still dark and I find difficulty in recognizing who she was. She approached the baby and stopped in shock, ” gods of Tankute” She cried as she bent behind the small baby , ” What a beautiful baby” She said lifting him up, ” Who would have done this?” She asked no one in particular. I soon recognized her, it was Chika, the village barren widow whom the villagers have tagged a witch. ” gods of our land, its true you answer prayer, I shall keep this child as my own henceforth to comfort myself for that I did not have, I shall call him Karma, for beside the sea I found him” She said and lifted the baby up towards the sea, ” Hmm, Karma, the name of his enemy” I thought to myself as I rode away on the horse smiling. more episodes loading...

they targeted his pregnant wife.
They waited for her till she was nine month

She said lifting him up, ” Who would have done
this?” She asked no one in particular. I soon
recognized her, it was Chika, the village barren

THE GUARDIANS OF TANKUTE EPISODE 3 •••••••••√•••••••••√•••••••••••√••••••••••√ I felt no remorse for what I have done, at least, I killed the enemy. I finished with his head and it was then I remembered I had Wenakite to save, I had totally forgotten. I cleaned up my mouth and continued with my run since I couldn't hear the, tack, tack sound of his horse any longer. Has they say, it's better not to try it than try it once, you might get addicted to it. My urge for flesh increased greatly, so as I ran, I prayed for flesh. " Wenakite!!" I shouted at the top of my voice as I ran towards the city of Zumga, I pray he is not dead by now. I bent by the river bank holding the little baby, he happens to be so cute, very cute. I cried as I saw his mother lying dead by my side, " She couldn't even behold her son" I said to myself cleaning the blood stain around my mouth, she is Wenakite's wife. I stood up carrying the little boy with me, " Your existence brought about the death of your parent" I told the new baby, he only stretched and laughed, I smiled. Wenakite was also dead, he didn't die on his Journey to Zumga village, I had saved him that day, that was about 8 months ago. " Thank you" He told me as I lifted him up to his horse, he had been injured trying to fight against the guys sent by Karma and Chila. " How did you know I was ambushed? " he asked as we drove back to our settlement on his horse, " I overheard Chila and Karma talking about it" I told him calmly, " What!!! You mean they planned all these?" He asked, I nodded. " Are you sure of this Ewite? "He asked me, he preferred calling me by my father's name. " How else will I know you were going to be ambushed?" I asked him, " I don't know but ....." He paused, " They were the ones who planned this, believe me or not" I said cleaning the blood stain around my mouth. " Am sorry I never told you I was a Man-eater " I said, " Surprised, yes, angry, no" He laughed, " Have never seen a Man-eater fighting to save a Manhunter, you are a good type" he said. " Just look at the way you jumped on those two from no where" He laughed and held his side in pain, I also laughed. " Thank you for saving me Ewite " he said, " Shallom" I corrected, " I would prefer Ewite" He laughed and we drove back to the settlement. I had thought Wenakite would be wise enough to keep all I had told him about Chila and Karma but no he didn't, immediately we got to the settlement, he jumped down from the horse and stormed into the tent of the deadly twins Chila and Karma. Minutes later, the Manhunters had all come out from their tents, they came to know the reason behind the noise disturbing the early hours of the morning. " Warrior lord, listen, we didn't send boys to kill you, how can we do that to our warrior lord?" Chila asked as they came out of the tent, " Wenakite, believe us" Karma added. " Hahaha" Wenakite laughed, " Of course, you won't admit you did it, maybe you can explain to me how Shallom heard you guys discussing about it" Wenakite said pointing at me. Chila and Karma stared at me in disbelief, their eyes was that of " You have just betrayed your kind" . " Have you suddenly gone deaf and dumb?" He asked them with anger in his eyes, the Manhunters could all now be heard murmuring. " Who plans thy death of thy warrior lord?" Ologwu, the son to late Mologwu asked no one in particular. " since you have nothing to say against this allegation, I as the warrior lord hereby pronounce the both of you not worthy to be among the Manhunters, leave this settlement at once, today you cease to be a Manhunter and an indigene of Tankute at large" Wenakite prnounced, he was the warrior lord, it was his duty. Chila took one last ugly stare at me as he held into his tent to get his belongings. " Wait, If I ever set my eye on you again, I will kill you" Wenakite concluded, " The warrior lord has spoken" Ologwu, the son of the late Mologwu shouted. To me, that was the worst decision Wenakite could take, he just took it anyways. " Wenakite " I started that same morning, Chila and Karma had left us and I of course know where they are heading to, to Kendo , their head. " Speak Ewite " he said, I was afraid to remind him that it is " Shallom". " I think tiu took the wrong decision " I stammered, " Why?" He asked staring directly into my eyes, " Now that we have sent them away, how we know what they are planning against you, they can easily hurt you now" I told him and he bursted into laughter. " I thought of that before taking actions, I have sent Ologwu and three other fighters to go kill them on the way" he laughed, " What ![]() |

THE GUARDIANS OF TANKUTE EPISODE 2 ••••••√•••••••√•••••••√•••••••√•••••••••√•••••√ He was right, I was also a Man-eater and if I strike the fire, It might mistakenly touch me causing me to melt. Yeah, that’s how we die, when the fire touches you, you automatically Melt away, that’s how a Man eater is killed. ” What do you want ?” I asked him dropping the stones, ” Shallom Ewite, I wonder why you are like this” he said laughing, ” you are one of us, why don’t you come in with us, why do you prefer to be with the Manhunters? ” he asked, ” Because I want to save life and not take it, because I am good and not evil as you and your folks are, because I love to be human and not a cannibal ” I shouted, ” Hmm, only if you realize it’s a good thing having the ability to live till eternity ” he said , I shook my head in disagreement, ” I prefer to be human” I said and immediately turned back to go, I remembered I had Wenakite to save. ” why do you so much care about him, Wenakite? ” he asked me, I turned to face him , I was shocked. ” You are going to the village to inform him not to journey to Zumga city, you want to protect him against your kind, Chila and Karma” he told me, now I was now scared. ” How do you know that?” I asked him, ” Hmmm, that why we are man eaters, we are different from humans in all dimension, we have the ability to read minds and know human thought, you haven’t discovered that dimension in yourself” he laughed, ” How can I do that?” I asked him, ” It’s not something you should learn, it’s in you” he concluded and turned backing me, he vanished into the darkness of the night. I also turned, took one last , long stare at my dead horse and ran off into the woods, I ran as my legs could take me, I fell lot of times but will always roll up and continue with my journey. Most times I would turn back sharply and draw out my sword ready for a fight, I thought I heard footsteps. At long last, I got to the village, it was as silent as a graveyard, it was the darkest hour before dawn and obviously the villagers were still busy enjoying their peaceful sleep. I continued with my running towards Wenakite’s wife house, I have been there just once and that was when the king came to bless them as man and wife, all the Manhunters were present there but the villagers were not, its an abomination seeing a Manhunter as Wenakite wouldn’t be wearing his Mask on the day his wife was to be handed over to him by the king, only the king has the right to know who a manhunter is, and of course their partners. I didn’t find it easy locating his wife’s house but I finally did. I looked around and there was no sign of his white horse, he never went anywhere without Lulu his horse. ” What do I do now?” I asked myself standing arm akimbo in front of the small hut. No one opens the door for a stranger in the middle of the night, only cannibals come to the village at night , that was their belief, or were they right, am actually a Cannibal. I turned around and that was when my eyes caught the small wooden window on the hut, it was opened.. ” Perfect” I breathed looking around to make sure no one was in sight. I moved a little bit backwards did a jump to grab the window which was not very high. I lifted myself and squeezed myself through it, I landed down the room with a loud thud. I got up and saw something coming towards my neck, I bent down swiftly and did a forward roll. It was Wenakite’s wife, she had attacked me with a cutlass but I was fast enough to weave it. ” I come in peace” I told her calmly, ” No cannibals comes in peace” She said, ” Am not a cannibal, I am a manhunter” I said, ” Only the Cannibals move in the darkness of the night” she said pointing the cutlass at me, I took a good look at her, she was beautiful like Wenakite would always say, I also noticed her protruding stomach. ” Because what I hold is like fire, it must be dropped soon enough. where is your husband? ” I asked her, ” He left not long ago, he said he is going to the village of Zumga ” She said, she was probably now feeling a bit comfortable. ” No, it can’t be” I shouted as I walked towards the door, ” What is it?” She asked me, ” Wenakite is in danger” I answered as I stormed out the door, ” Wait” she said but I had already ran off, towards the city of Zumga, it was then I discovered a new dimension of myself, I never got tired running, that means the Cannibals never gets tired. I ran into the bush, I couldn’t imagine my speed, I seem to be running faster than I could imagine, I was getting into another dimension. I was still with my mask, was in my fighting garment, the Manhunters garment. I didn’t fall this time as I ran, I would occasionally jump over fallen trees, climb small hills and continued to run. I could soon hear the tack, tack sound of a horse, it should certainly be Wenakite’s. ” Wenakite!!!” I shouted at the top of my voice as I continued to run but got no reply. ” Wena….” I was about shouting again when someone jumped on me from nowhere, ” Who are you to come rescue him?” He asked me as he pushed me to the ground, I did a back roll and regained my balance. ” Who are you to kill him?” I asked the boy, he was a fine looking young man, he is not among the Manhunters, Chila and Karma obviously did a good job hiring humans to do their dirty job for them. He was human, how did I know? The moment he pushed me, I felt the urge for human flesh. ” Leave now in peace if you want peace” he commanded, ” I detest peace” I told him, ” He has been sent to bring war to us, the indigene of Zumga” He told me, ” That’s not why you want him dead, you have been sent by Karma and Chila” I told him, ” Any how you see it, he must die” He said, ” I have come to prevent that” I told him, ” Then be ready to die” He said moving towards me, the urge for flesh was now increasing greatly inside me, I ran towards him and jumped on him taking him by surprise, he tried kicking me away but I felt nothing , his kicks were weak. I placed my mouth by his neck , ” You look sweet” I whispered into his ears and almost immediately, cut off his ear with my teeth. He shouted in pain as he struggled to get free, ” Calm down son” I said and bit his neck open, he died immediately. I sat down beside his corps as I chewed his ear, ” Sweet” I laughed as I drank the blood gushing out his neck side. I held his head and with my sword separated it from the body, I placed my mouth underneath the head and drank the blood dripping down from it, I then bite off his eyes. I chewed it gently, at last my urge for flesh has been satisfied. |

PROLOGUE: About many centuries ago, the small inhabitants of the Small village of Tankute had been known to live in peace and unity. The Inhabitants of Tankute were made up of two types of beings, the normal human beings and the Cannibals alias the Maneaters. The Cannibals were those who never aged, they feed on fresh animal meat though they also eat real food like humans . The Territory of Tankute had always been guided by the fine warriors of Tankute, The Manhunters. The Manhunters are good set of fighters whose members were always trained from birth , every descendant of a manhunters boy or girl automatically becomes a Manhunter. The Manhunters had fought against lot of villages who had at one time or the other tried to wedge war against us. With the Manhunters, the inhabitants of Tankute felt safe and secured. We continued to live in harmony until about a century ago when the cannibals suddenly became bad, they wanted to rule us and thus started feeding on the humans, those they didn’t want to feed on , they bit them to also become cannibals like them. The Manhunters took to action immediately and fought gallantly against the Man-eaters. The Cannibals couldn’t be killed with just knives and swords, they only die by fire. With the gods being with the Manhunters, they were soon able to send the cannibals out of Tankute , into the jungle. We continued to live in peace hoping it had ended, but no, we were wrong. The real problem started when the Manhunters began to eat themselves, apparently, during the fight, some Man-eaters might have bitten some Manhunters and thus turning them into Man-eaters . At first, those Man- eaters behaved normal like they were still normal humans, but on the long run, their taste for flesh increased and they began to kill the Manhunters or bit some to also become Man-eaters. Seeing the advantage, the Man-eaters that had been sent into the jungle came back and started attacking us while the Manhunters strived to protect us against the Man-eaters from the Jungle and against those among the Manhunters. That was how it had been for about hundred years ago till date, i existed since then till now, I witnessed all that happened . Does that ring a bell? I have existed for more than 100 of centuries, only the Man-eaters live for so long. My name is Shallom and I am a peaceful cannibal among the Manhunters. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ The Guardians Of Tankute Episode: Episode 1 I was born into the family of Ewite, my dad was a Manhunter a great and skillful fighter. Since one of my parent happen to be a Manhunter, then I must also be a Manhunter. According to tradition, I must be ridden on a horse to the sea side where I will be dedicated to the gods of strength and wisdom, ” Gods of our land, a new one has come, give her strength to defend your great Tankute, I will call her Shallom Ewite” My father would have said. The Manhunters live in secret from the indigene of Tankute, they have a settlement in the village provided for them. I was 24 years old when the fight between us and the Man-eaters began, I was involved in the fight and that was where I was bitten by Kendo, a strong Man-eaters. That bite change my life forever, I began to have the taste for human flesh but for a while, I was able to control myself. It wasn’t for too long , at a point, I started sneaking to the bush to hunt and eat raw animals , but the taste for flesh won’t still go. I thought I was the only Man- eaters among the Manhunters, but as years went by, I knew I wasn’t when about 20 of us didn’t age. I wasn’t the only Man-eaters but I can say that I am among the good few, I only eat animals and human feed, never human flesh. You might be surprised while the villagers haven’t noticed us and killed us since we didn’t age, we were considered as sacred being, and we only come into the village with masks to protect our sacredness, it is an abomination to know who a manhunter is , a manhunter is considered a masquerade, only a manhunter knows a manhunter. As time went on, my mates died and new Manhunters came in, only the ones who were man- eaters like me remained. Out of the new generation of Manhunters was Wenakite, the only son of Uddin who is dead now . it was like the gods choose Wenakite to become a Manhunter, because the day he was born, the thunder stroke, the rain poured even if it was in the heart of the dry season. ” Shallom Ewite, I know you are a Man-eater” Mologwui told me one afternoon, i was shocked, no manhunter has ever confronted the fact that I am a Man-eater. Mologwu is a Manhunter, though I lived before him, but now he is about 95 years. ” Since I was born, I have never seen you aged, you were before me and you remained as you were before I came” he told me, ” Yes. I won’t lie to you Mologwu, I was bitten long ago ” I told him in tears. ” Hmm, I know its not your choice to be and I can see the good person in you, please protect the Manhunters against your kind, I smell blood flow very soon, fight for the Manhunters” he told me, that was the last time I heard Mologwu talk, he was dead the next morning. If I am to tell you all about the Manhunters, I might not be done till eternity, I will only tell you guys those I think you need to know for this narration, all I tell you now apply to this narration. The women among the Manhunters can’t marry ordinary men, their husbands must also be trained Manhunters, reason being that the wife is not meant to be stronger than her husband. The men on their own side can marry who they want to, as a matter of fact some men don’t even want to marry their fellow Manhunters , that’s why I am still unmarried or maybe that’s not the reason, I am scared of the fact that I am a Man eater. Wenakite grew up to be a strong great fighter just like his father, not only was he strong, he was also handsome and loyal. He took me as a friend, he never knew I was a Man-eaters. We fought together against enemies and brought back victory to the village. ” Shallom, I want to go see the king tomorrow” He told me one evening as I sat outside his tent eating roasted yam ( Remember I told you we the Man-eaters also eat human feed). ” Why?” I asked , ” The only time a manhunter go to visit the king is if he wants to get married or he wants to announce war” He told me, ” So which who are you to do?” I asked him, ” I want to get married” He told me, I dropped the roasted yam. ” For real, have you seen a woman?” I asked him, ” Yes, I saw a girl at the stream two days ago” he said and I busted into laughter, ” Just two days is not enough to love a girl” I told him, ” Hmmm, its enough for me” He said. ” And you, why are you not married? ” he asked me, ” A manhunter has not approached me yet” I told him . So that was it, with that, Wenakite got married to his beautiful maiden, I was happy for him. Now at this time, the Maneaters among us started to raise against the real humans especially Wenakite, they say he was too authoritative because he was the ” Warrior lord” as we call it. Wenakite wasn’t authoritative, he was only being loyal and ready for duty. This got the Maneaters angry I knew what will soon follow, they will kill him, he is not the first, not the second, not the third, a lot of Manhunters had been killed before him, but it seems Wenakite is not just an ordinary Manhunter, he was chosen by the gods of strength and wisdom. I made it up in my mind to defend wenakite against the Man eaters among us, I will try my best to protect him. By this time, his wife was already pregnant, about a month pregnant. One evening, I was walking round our settlement, when I happen to pass by the tent of Chila and Karma, they are also man eaters, the head of the Man eaters among us. ” So tomorrow is the day Wenakite is going to announce war at Zumga, how far have you gone with the plan?” I heard Chila say to his twin brother Karma, ” Yes, I have already mobilized the boys, they will attack him on the way” Karma said and they laughed, ” Warrior lord my foot” Karma added, ” Those that came before him have gone” Chila said and they laughed again. On hearing that, I ran off to Wenakite’s tent, but only to find out that he has gone to see his wife. I took my horse and made to go look for him in the village where his wife is, I wore my mask and took along my sword as I climbed on my beautiful black horse. I rode out of our settlement into the jungle, we live after the jungle. ” faster” I shouted to my house and like it heard me, it increased it pace. It rode until we got to the middle of the jungle when I thought I heard footsteps. The jungle belongs to the Man eaters, that was their new settlement after we sent them out of Tankute, ” Slow down” I said to my horse as I climbed down from it so as to look for stones, with the stones I will make fire to keep the Man eaters away. I got two stones and turned back to face my horse, it was dead, it laid down dead on the ground as blood gushed out of it’s neck, it had been killed by a Man eater. ” No” I cried to myself as I ran towards my horse, ” No!!” I shouted in anger and drew out my sword. ” Shallom” I heard someone call from behind, I turned sharply to face whosoever, it was a man, he had blood stains on his mouth, a Man eater. I recognized him at once as Kendo, the Man eater who had bitten me long ago, ” You again?” I asked as I made to strike the stones” You want to strike the stone, are you forgetting something here, you are also a Man eater, so dear, we both die” he reminded me. source: www.a2spot.com/forums/topic/the-guardians-of-tankute-the-manhunters/ more episodes loading |

Waiting For Her Episode: Episode 5 ••••••√••••••√•••••√•• That was how I continued, I continued to love veronica though I knew she had someone else. I didn’t also stop giving her my assignments, I thought that would make her love me but my thinking were just like that of an immature guy. Victedo and Matt continued to advise me on what to do and what not to do but I never listened to them. ” Gabriel, have you ever thought of what would happen if you refuse to give Veronica your assignment just for a day?” Matt asked me one fateful evening, ” I don’t want it to happen” I told him. ” sometimes, you make me want to believe this girl is controlling you from her village” Victedo said from the kitchen, ” Why?” I asked, ” You just want to do everything to please her, you fear what she might do if you offend her” he said, he was right. ” To me, I think her reaction towards you when she is angry will tell if she loves you or not” Victedo continued. ” Just try this, the next time she asks you for your assignment, try tell her you are not giving her and let’s see what happens” Matt said, ” Don’t tell her you haven’t done it o, just tell her you can’t give her” Victedo added. ” Guys, I know this girl doesn’t love me, I only want to make the love grow In her, love as they say is patient” I told them, ” There is a way a girl who wish to love you in future will behave compared to the girl who has no atom of love for you at all” Matt said, ” Just try tell her no for the first time, and let’s be there when you do that” Matt concluded while I nodded. Their advise was good and worth doing but I got a problem, I was scared of loosing her before having her. The next time we were given another tough assignment was about two days later, I have thought about what Matt and Victedo told me and I have decided to do as they instructed. I have also been thinking about many other things, why will she only call me whenever she needs to do her assignment? She never calls to greet or gist, just to ask for assignment. About 6:00pm of that particular day, she called. Matt and Victedo were with me in the room and thought they didn’t say a thing, I knew they were paying attention to what I will tell Veronica. ” Hello Vero” I greeted, ” Gabi dear, how far?” She asked, ” Am fine thank God” I answered. ” Have you done the assignment? ” she asked me, ” Yeah, I have done it” I said , I was now sweating. ” I trust you now, please let’s meet at our normal spot tomorrow” She said and made to put an end to the call, ” I can’t come” I quickly put in before she ended the call, ” What did you say?” She asked, she probably didn’t hear me well. ” I said I can’t come to basement tomorrow ” I told her, this time I was bold. I could see Victedo giving me a thumb up, Matt had his physics textbook to his face. ” Why can’t you come, any problem?” She asked, ” No, there is nothing wrong, I don’t just feel like giving you my assignments again, I think you should learn to do things yourself” I said, ” See this Mumu o” was what she said next, I was taken a bit aback by shock. ” Just because I am helping you by copying your assignment,you now think you can insult me bah? ” She asked , I was quiet not knowing what to say. ” I don’t blame you” She fired on, ” Aunty do and get off the phone jare” Matt shouted from where he was sitting, thank God I got someone to talk for me. ” Who is that?” Veronica asked, ” Wholala, the brother of tatala” Victedo answered, I could not help but laugh. ” Abeg get off the phone jare, at your age you are still copying assignment from your mate, and your parent will be at home thinking their daughter is struggling to become somebody in life, nonsense ” Matt added, ” Let her be there deceiving herself ” Victedo added, ” Is it me they are talking to like that? ” Veronica stammered, ” No ooo. It’s that aunty beside you” I said laughing, ” I regret ever knowing you” She said, ” Get out my friend” Matt shouted and I put an end to the call. ” Thank you guys” I said as I dropped the call, ” Don’t mention, don’t mention” Victedo said, ” That’s what you should have done to her all this while” Matt said, ” The girl just want to use you and get first class o” Victedo said, ” Don’t mind her” I said and kept quiet, I was thinking about Veronica, we were to harsh on the poor girl. Veronica didn’t talk to me again for weeks, as a matter of fact, she now has another guy she sticks with . I was jealous at first but as time went on, I began to forget everything and moved on with my normal and simple life hoping that God will give me a good girl at the right time . The love I got for Veronica soon faded off and I started to consider her as a non living been, I wasn’t bothered about her again and we never spoke again until one day. On this particular day, I had come early to school so as to summit my chemistry practical assignment. I saw Veronica some blocks from where I was, she was with her workbook looking for who to copy from as usual, unluckily for her, the new fool she copies from was not around. I removed my gaze from her and opened my manual to go through it in case of any mistake. ” Gabriel” I heard someone call from behind after about ten minutes, I didn’t need to turn to know it was Veronica, ” Yes what is it?” I asked as I turned slowly to face her, shockingly, she wasn’t alone this time, she was with another girl, a very beautiful average height girl, I recognized her immediately as the girl I had showed Victedo, the one that lives in my street. ” What is it?” I asked veronica again ignoring the girl, Veronica couldn’t say anything, she was obviously ashamed of herself. ” Please, we want you to help us with our assignment ” The girl said taking my workbook.

Waiting For Her Episode: Episode 4 ••••••••√••••••••••••••√•••••••••√ ” What do you mean?” I asked Matt, ” Just look at this, ever since you met this girl, you have been the one helping her with her assignments and her practical works, from the recent one, you now even help her in tests. If it continues this way, you will still be the same person to help her In exams” Matt told me, ” The only reason she is coming to you for help is because you are among the league of bright students in your department, you are the only one thinking she loves you, as a matter of fact, you are the only one loving here” Matt said, Victedo agreed with a nod. ” You know. You can’t be sure, we might just be judging her wrongly” I said, ” Then how can you explain what happened today? ” Matt asked, ” I don’t blame you anyways, you are in love” Matt said. ” Gabriel, in as much as I can’t justify what Veronica has done, I must advise you to be patient, because as they say, love is patient” Victedo said sitting on a reading chair. ” Gabi, as you love, use your head ” Matt added, ” I won’t want you to jump into this girl, watch her first” he concluded. ” I think I know what to do” I said as I got up from my bed, ” What?” They asked in union, ” Just don’t worry, watch me” I said to them and they nodded, truth be told, I knew not what to do. I couldn’t read that evening, on a norm, I do read three hours every passing day. This evening was different just because of a girl. Lot of thoughts crossed my head as I laid facing the ceiling that day, to me this was another heartbreak, thank God the relationship wasn’t deep, I meant the relationship only I knew about. ” But God wait o, why must I be different? Why can’t I just be like any other guy? Why can’t I just have a trust worthy and loving girlfriend like other guys?” I asked myself not knowing I had spoken it out loud, ” You know why?” Victedo who was on his book asked, ” Why?” I asked back, ” Because you are too simple. Look at you, you got all you want, the money, the height and to some extent, the face” he said laughing, I smiled. ” But girls don’t like guys who are too simple, girls want that big boy, that guy that can dress up to impress the ladies, you should understand what am talking about mehnnn” Victedo said laughing, thank God Matt wasn’t around that evening, he would have detailed victedo’s points. ” See guy, any girl that will like me must like me like this o, I don’t like to be a big boy and I believe very soon, I will have a girl” I said, ” Keep hoping bro, God will provide” He said and returned to his book, just then my phone rang, talk more of the devil, Veronica. ” Hey Gabi” She greeted, ” Hi Vero” I greeted smiling, ” How are you doing now?” She asked, ” Am fine o, and you? ” I asked back, ” Am fine my dear” She said. ” Have you done that physics 212 assignment?” She asked, ” Yes, I have solved them” I answered, Victedo turned to me and smiled. ” Okay, please don’t forget to come early tomorrow dear, I haven’t done mine” She said, ” Hmm, okay o, have heard you” I told her and with that, she ended the call. ” Guy, don’t tell me you are going tomorrow” Victedo said immediately I dropped the call, ” Am I mad? Go where? Am not going o, I just gave her hope” I laughed, ” That’s my man ” Victedo also laughed. ” I was thinking you will be a fool to go” Victedo continued, ” You should trust me now, I no fit do that kind thing” I told him. ” What’s time now?” He changed the topic, ” 5:35pm” I answered checking my phone, ” Oboy, let’s stroll out now” he said standing up from his reading chair, ” Stroll to where?” I asked him, ” To sport complex or any other place where we can feel the cool breeze of the night” he told me. ” Okay now, let’s go ” I got up and put on my jacket, ” You can’t tell if we can even catch some girls” he added laughing, I simply hissed. We strolled to sport complex, luckily for us, we met some group of boys playing football, we gladly watched them play till about 6:30 when we decided to go home. ” Those boys can’t even play self” Victedo said as we entered our street, ” You can’t play either” I told him, ” As if you can play” He countered, ” I never said they didn’t play well” I told him . ” Victedo, can you see that girl? The one putting on a brown gown?” I asked him looking in the direction of a young girl who was walking towards us, “Yes , what about her?” He asked, ” That girl was in the same class with us during our pre-degree program” I told him, ” I never saw her o” He said looking directly at the girl who was looking at the ground as she walked, ” You don’t look at people like that” I told him, ” But she is beautiful o” He smiled, ” What’s her name?” He asked me, ” I only know her facially, we never spoke to each other before, I don’t know her name” I told him, ” she is beautiful” he said again as the girl passed us, ” Which department was she thrown to?” He asked , ” Guy, I said I don’t even know her name, how should I know her department?” I asked him back, ” Oh, sorry, I forgot you don’t know anything” He laughed and we walked back home in peace. • • • I was already in the bathroom early the next morning, the time was still about 6:00am. I rushed my bathing and dressed up for school . ” Gabi, don’t tell me you are going to school to give your assignment to Veronica after all you said yesterday?” Victedo asked getting up from his bed, ” Fool, the lecturer asked us to summit as early as 7:00 this morning, see the time is already 6:30″ I told him, ” Abeg rush o, before you won’t summit now and you will say am the one pursuing you from your village” He laughed, as I carried my school bag and hit the road. I got to school before 7:00 and headed towards basement not to summit the assignment but because that was where Veronica will always wait for me to bring my assignment to her, as a matter of fact, we are not to summit the assignment till 2:00pm that day. I met veronica sitting at our usual spot, ” Good morning Veronica ” I greeted her as I brought out my assignment and handed it to her, truly, love is something you can’t fight.. . . .

Waiting For Her Episode: Episode 3 ••••••••••√•••••••√••••••••√ Veronica is a well endowed medium height girl, when I mean well endowed, I mean she has all a guy will want in a woman. When I first met Veronica, I had only one room mate then, that was Matt, Victedo came about some weeks after I met her. On getting home that same day, the same day I gave her my physics assignment to copy, I narrated everything to Matt. ” Guy, you won’t believe it o, i met a girl today” I told Matt who was lying on the bed , he was staring at a physics textbook which to him he was reading. One thing about Matt, he hates girls. After his first girlfriend broke up with him, he developed a big hatred for all girls, he believes girls are all the same. ” You met a girl, is that why you are smiling like that?” He asked dropping the book, ” Guy, you need to see this girl, she is glorious” I told him, ” Gabi, are you the one telling me this?” He asked me, ” The last time I checked, you promised not to have anything to do with girls after your now ex broke your heart” He reminded me, ” I know, those were just mouth making now” I said, ” Hmmm, what is her name? Is she beautiful or ugly, how is she like to have captured you just in one day?” He asked , ” For her name, she is Veronica, she is of medium height and how she captured me in one day, I can’t explain” I told him, ” You haven’t still answered one of the questions, is she beautiful?” He asked again, ” What am I to do with her beauty? ” I asked him, ” Because I believe ugly girls have ugly hearts just like their faces” He said, ” Any proof for that?” I asked him, ” Of course, I don’t say things am not sure of, remember your ex has an ugly face, and from the way she dumped you, I can boldly come to a conclusion that she has an ugly heart also” He laughed, I laughed also. ” Guy, remember your ex happens to be very beautiful, but remember, she dated you alongside three other guys, am sure that not a typical of a beautiful heart ” I told him and his laughing subsided. ” Okay, let stop insult, is veronica beautiful? ” he asked again, ” Yeah, she is beautiful” I told him, ” So you already love her just in one day?” He asked me, ” Does it take two days to love? ” I asked him back, ” Hmm, your own love, I never see o” He said opening his physics textbook again. I and Veronica became tight friends as time went by, I also got to know that she also did the same pre degree program like I did but we never met ourselves during those days. For the first few times I stayed with her, I thought she was a girl with absolutely good characters, though there was nothing between us but deep down in my mind, I had already signed her my girlfriend, I am the only one who knows she is my girlfriend, she herself doesn’t even know, funny isn’t it? As time went by , I later got to discover that she was about a month older than I am, but as they say, age is just a number, I still wanted her. Then on this particular day, about three weeks after we met, one of our lecturers decided to conduct a test, an impromptu test. That day, Veronica as usual was sitting just by me. Only few students were prepared for the test, I was among the lucky few. I literally taught Veronica everything, I allowed her copy my script. ” Gabriel, please, when you are going home, please call my phone, I want to go and eat” She told me after the test, ” No problem” I told her, I was happy I was privileged to teach her. We still had two more lectures for that day, the lectures were not important but I decided to stay behind for it, it takes nothing to wait behind. After the lectures, Veronica had not still come back, at this point, I was now wondering if to eat takes this long. ” I don’t even have card” I thought to myself as I made to call her, ” This is how I will just waste this hundred naira now ” I hissed as I walked towards basement complex where things were sold, it was a stone throw from our department but you still have to walk a bit. In basement complex, there are shops where food are being sold, there are shops where snacks are sold and we also have the cyber cafes. I stood in front of one of the numerous shops buying card, the woman selling the card was taking long and it was getting me impatient, I started to move my body in a way to show her that I was in a hurry, it was in course of doing this that my eyes caught Veronica in one of the cyber cafes, she was laughing and gisting happily with a guy, their sitting position alone was enough evidence that he was her boyfriend. ” Take your card” The woman told me, ” Thank you ma” I said as I took the card and sneaked out of the place, ” Hello veronica” I called her standing where I could see her clearly without her seeing me, ” Yeah Gabi, are you guys done with lectures?” She asked me , ” Yes oo, where are you now ?” I asked her, ” Dear, I decided to go read in the library , I can’t just waste my time on those useless courses” She said laughing, I also laughed. ” Okay now, am still at the department, come meet me there” I said, ” Okay dear” She answered and I put an end to the call. I saw her hug and pecked the guy before leaving the shop, ” Wow, this is wonderful” I laughed as I increased my pace towards our department where she came there to meet me, I pretended like nothing happened. • • ” Gabriel my man, that girl just want to use you to get what she wants” Vuctedo told me as I narrated all that happened to him and Matt that day, ” What does she want?” I asked him, ” She doesn’t want a carry over ” Matt said opening his physics textbook.. . . .

Waiting For Her Episode: Episode 2 •••••••√••••••••••√•••••••••√• That was how it got started, about eight days after seeing my admission later, I made to start my journey of life, I made to go to school. I sat on my bed the night before I was to go to school thinking about how simple I was going to live when I get to school, " I swear, I won't follow any girl again in my life" I said to myself, not after what the first one did to me. I looked at my phone which was as usual lying beside me, It was about go to off as the battery percent was just 5. " Let me call her and tell her I will be going away" I thought to myself as I picked up my phone and dialed the number of my ex girlfriend, she picked on the second trial. " Hello who is this?" She asked, so she has even deleted my number from her phone? " It's me, Gabriel " I said swallowing my spit, " Ah, ah, Gabi, hope no problem, this one you are calling me this night?" She asked, " No, there is no problem, I just want to tell you that I have gotten admission " I told her trying hard not to stammer, " okay o, at last, you won't finally grow old at home" She laughed, I took it as an insult but also laughed with her. " Anyways, good luck o and please try to be mature when you get to school" Came another insult, I was speechless on what to say and then my phone helped me put an end to the call by switching off by itself, the battery has gone flat. " It's not your fault now, I was the one that called you" I thought as I went towards our backyard to put on the generator. ° ° ° " Gabriel, take my words seriously, I have passed through this phase of life so you should know that anything I tell you now is from experience" My dad started, of was around 11:00pm and we were the only one awake, " Okay dad" I answered him, " All things associated with being bad happens at night, Gabriel , try to avoid walking out at night, don't night walk" He said cleaning his face with his Handkerchief, " It's by walking at night that they initiate people into cult, it's as easy as that" He said, I nodded. " Don't follow any friend to anywhere you don't know, any friend that tells you come make I go show you something for somewhere, Gabriel don't follow" He continued, " Okay" I answered, he talked more for about thirty minutes, giving me advises he had given me before. " Gabriel, forget the pride, live for what you have come for, live like you came for your degree. Gabriel, from all I have said to you this night, I haven't mentioned anything about girls, I won't ask you not to have a girlfriend, as a matter of fact, I am not there to watch you, you are a teenager , you are free to even keep girlfriends, but from all you do, get wisdom" that was the only important thing I got that night " In all your doings, get wisdom" . °°° That was about some months ago, am now a student of the school, University Of Benin, living life gently and Simple, I have tried to keep on with my father's words. I live outside campus with two of my friends, Matt and Victedo. I knew Matt during my junior secondary school while Victedo, we met during the days of my pre degree. I also got a lot of good and smart friends at school, I got Roman, Praise, the most troublesome but best girl I have ever met , Preshy, there are actually two preshies ( permit the word). I also got mercy and lastly, I got Veronica, the one who changed my life. I first met Veronica one morning, I had come to school early that day to submit a particular physics assignment, the lecturer had threatened to use it as our test, though I knew he will not but according to one of the advises my dad gave me " Summit any thing the lecturer wants". I sat on the pavement in front of the physics lab, Roman was with me and we were busy comparing our assignments. " Gabriel, seriously, I never thought of this your idea " he said staring at my own, " Na me be the man now" I laughed, " You dey solve o" he praised, " I tell you say I go do am" I laughed again. " Please, let me have a look , I couldn't solve it" A light feminine voice said beside us, she had been sitting beside us but none of us paid attention to her initially. I turned to face her so also did Roman, " Give her the paper now" I told Roman, " Because na woman now, you wan collect your paper from me bah?" Roman asked and the lady smiled revealing her well spaced teeth, I smiled back. " Please, I will like to copy from it, I won't lie to you, am not good at physics" She begged, " Okay now, copy, you are free" I said to her smiling sheepishly. " Thank you" She said as she brought her Biro and started to copy, " What is your name?" I summoned up courage , " Veronica" She said looking up at me, " Hope you don't want to toast me because am copying your assignment?" She asked, " No, no, no, I just feel like asking?" I lied, the truth of the matter was that I had fallen, it was what they term love at first sight, she wasn't too beautiful, she just happen to be an average girl but whatsoever it was that pushed me to her or attracted me to her, I don't know. The feelings grew immediately, I didn't know how it happened I don't know. That was how I met her veronica, I started to love her from that day, but that's isn't who I am waiting for, it was through her that I met who I am waiting for till date. . . .

WAITING FOR HER EPISODE 1 Phone: 08188317495 ••••••√•••••••••√••••••••••√ Some months ago, I finished my pre-degree in the popular university of Benin, it has been approximately 3 months now. About a month ago, my Muslim girlfriend broke up with me, it has been exactly a month and five days. About three days ago, the online girlfriend which I thought I could use to ease away the pain of my ex girlfriend broke up with me also because she thought I didn't have interest in her, we only dated for five days, exactly five days 10 hours now. Everything about me wasn't fine, everything was shattering and worst still UNIBEN has bluntly refused to release our admission list, we direct entry students. I held up my phone hoping to write an episode of one of my numerous stories I do post online " Act of Faith" but no, the inspiration wasn't coming. " Gab!!" My dad shouted my name from the sitting room, I stood up sluggishly from the bed and headed towards the sitting room, I knew what he would be calling me for, it's either about my admission status or why I have refused to wash his car which he asked me to wash since morning, it was either of those two, nothing more. " Sir " I answered as I got to the sitting room where he was lying on a couch and shaking his leg like a woman waiting for her son who she had plans of beating. " Eh ehen, Gab, what are they saying about you people admission stuff?" He asked , " Nothing daddy, they haven't said anything yet about it" I told him,I was tired of his everyday question about my admission status, it was annoying. " Are you sure you are following the website?" He asked , only if he knew it was called " Kofa page". " Yes dad, I am following their website " I said trying hard not to laugh, " Hmm, okay go, I just pray you get this admission " He said and continued with the football match he was viewing. " God, please, help me, let UNIBEN consider me for admission this year, I promise to serve you for ever " I prayed as I entered into my room, " God , I want to leave home" I hit my bed stand with anger , I felt the pain on my leg but my anger surpassed it. I was tired of staying at home, I was tired of going to the football pitch everyday and seeing my ex girlfriend play love with her new boyfriend, I don't know what it meant but they are always present any time my team has a match with another team, she was always there with the new guy, yes he looks more handsome than I am, he the perfect description of a big boy, the kind of guy she wanted me to be, but I am not that kind of guy, I happen to be just a simple guy that just like to keep it simple, but the last time I checked, that is not the kind of guy a girl wish for. I didn't know when I slept off but when i opened my eyes again, it was 9:30pm. I stretched my hand for my phone which always sleep with me, I stared at it for any missed call, but who would call me? I logged in to my kofa page again, I knew I was still going to see the same status, submitted, but I had to still check. I put In my login details and it soon started to load, the page came on and I was surprised at what I saw, the status had changed, it was no more submitted, it now read clearly, Admitted. I quickly scrolled down the page to see the course I was given, I closed my eyes as I swipe the phone up to the bottom of the page, " Biochemistry " it read, " Yes!" I shouted to myself, I have been admitted, I am now to pursue a degree, ( BSCBCH) , my happiness new no bound as I sprang up from the bed, at last, I was now at the verge of becoming a two hundred level biochemistry student. " Daddy" I shouted as I ran into his room, he didn't answer to my shout rather he stared at me expecting what I was to say, " I have been admitted o" I shouted laughing, " Really, which course?" He asked me happily, " Biochemistry daddy, industrial biochemistry " I shouted happily, " Hmmm" his countenance changed, " But you said you got 12 points out of 15?" He asked me, " Yes I got twelve point" I concurred, " 12 point is enough to get you Medical lab science or course like Pharmacy " he told me, " Daddy, Uniben gave me this, I am okay with it " I told him, " Are you sure you want the Biochemistry or should I call prof to change it for you?" He asked me, " Change what? I want the Biochemistry " I told him, " Okay then, it's your choice" He told me and faced the other side of his big bed, I walked away from his room although a little bit angry but not too angry to cover up my happiness. My phone vibrated on my hand, " Ah, who is calling me today? " I asked myself as I picked the call from the unknown number, " Who is this?" I asked in a little bit of a calm voice, " Gabriel, it's me o, Victedo, this is my dad's number" Came the voice of one of my friends back then during our pre degree program. " Victor, you remember me today?" I asked him, " Gabriel, I did not forget you, things are not just good. Have you seen your admission status? " he asked me, " Yes o, I just see am now" I laughed, " What were you given?" he asked , " BCH " I answered. " Wow, biochemistry, that's nice o" He told me, " What about you?" I asked ," Guy Uniben finish me o" His voice was sorrowful, " Wethin dey knack you?" I asked , " Na AEB , they give me o" he said, " Wooow, AEB, that sounds like a big course, congratulations bro" I told him, sincerely, I was happy for him. " Guy, calm down, do you know what AEB mean?" He asked me, " No oo, but I do hear it very well, it is a very famous course" I answered, " Guy, na Animal and Environmental Biology oooo" he lamented on phone, I tried to hold myself from laughing, I noticed I could not hold it and quickly put an end to the call as I bursted into laughter, myself and Victor are the same set of people that do sit in front of the class then during the course of our pre degree program, we would gladly boast to anyone that cares to listen of how ambitious we are to get Medicine, but today, what is the case, BCH And AEB. . . .

Prologue Both students and workers could be seen moving in and out the popular main gate of the university of Benin, the sellers selling, the buyers, buying and the beggers, begging. Groups of small pillars could be seen arranged in a single file outside the main gate, each pillar separated from the other by a strong, long iron rod. The small pillars are meant for students to relax outside the main gate, lovers to catch up or girls to gossip. On one of this pillar sat a young man who seem to be observing the whole scenario, he seem to pay attention more on a particular begger, an old man who stops students to bore them with stories of how he is a pensioner and needs money to feed, some good and kind students gave him what they had while others, those who knew him well passed him by. From the way the young man stared at the begged, it was obvious the begger had once approached him maybe sometime in the past. The guy was putting on a short knicker and a T-shirt, his phone could be visibly seen on his left hand. The begged suddenly turned and seem to be coming towards the young man, on seeing this, the guy got up from the pillar and went away towards the opposite direction before the begger could get to him, " I am not waiting for you, I am waiting for her" He said to himself as he made to cross the road to the other side. source: www.a2spot.com/forums/topic/waiting-for-her/ 1 Like |
