After attending three consecutive lectures that lasted for
about 2½ hours each, I became very tired and exhausted that I was beginning to
involve in sensation of spinning around and teetering freely in accordance with
the direction of wind. I could see a figure in more than ten multiples. All
these were the consequences of Hunger. So I immediately reached for the nearest
restaurant in the school as I walked feebly to Ematex restaurant, sat down to
order for what I would eat.
"Hello waiter" I called in a very low and weak
voice, waving at a young lady standing by, she walked to where I was sitting
and said "good day sir, what can I get for..."
"Anything please" I muttered.
"But anything is nothing, just specify and I would get
it for you if...if we have...have it, she stammered.
"My dear if your husband comes back from work tired and
hungry and you could read that expression on his face just get him what would
make him regain his strength and make him happy", I muttered again
"Okay sir, she replied as she went straight to the
canter, dished out swallow with Egusi soup, brought it to my table, then
reached for the freezer and get a chilled Coca-Cola drink. I rushed the meal in no time, but never
wanted to leave immediately as I felt I could relax in there for sometime. The
drink finished and I ordered for one more. Just then as I was strawing the
drink in my mouth, and looking around to see every creature passing, I suddenly
spotted a lady who inclined on a dwarf wall of Ofrima building standing as a
demarcation between the students and the deep wide Open void. She was dressed
In a white top and ash skirt, that was a pharmacy student, you would easily know
them. Her beauty was what captivated me that I kept staring at her. She had a
comely figure which was stem-thin. Her crescent shaped eyebrows inclined
slightly as she saw me staring at her. I yelped at being caught. Her languid
eyelashes of velvet-black blinked once slowly as if to incite me over. It was
then I summoned courage within, and decided to walk up to her.

"Hi, I am Hillary", and You, I said, calmly.
"I am Julie", she responded warmly.
"Julie?" Could this be a Swahili name, I thought
to myself as I paused a bit as though it was like my first time of hearing the
name.
She observed that and then said,
"I am Juliet, Julie is just the short form, my course
mates do call me that.
"Oh! Okay that is nice, I responded.
"I know this is random, but I just wanted to say you
caught my eye. I am running late for a meeting, but I would love to get your
phone number if that's okay?" I said again.
She stared at me for a while and said "okay", nodding in affirmation. She gave me her
cell phone, and I quickly dialed my
number at once.
"I would give you a call when I get home, remember to
save my contact as Hillary, I left the scene, as I waved her bye.
I felt I have finally gained the whole world after asking
her out and she accepted.

The night suddenly fell and I picked up my phone to call her
and fortunately she picked the call at once.
Hello Julie, how are you doing, to be frank, I was happy
that I met someone like you today, seeing you alone made my day a blessed one.
You are really beautiful" I complimented
her.
"Oh! Thank you. But I don't know you, tell me more about yourself", she said in a
very soft calm voice which transmitted me into
another planet.
"Yeah, that is the reason why I called, would you mind
if we spend some time together, which day would you be free" I asked.
There came a sudden silence as I waited for her patiently to
give me a response
"Well, let's say this Saturday" she replied.
We spoke for a while and I ended the call. My heart was
filled to the brim with so much ecstasy as I slept like a baby that very night.
That very day came, I called her again to remind her. she
said she was almost dressed but never knew where we could meet.
"Oh! Sorry, meet
me at Genesis eatery, I replied, then
cut the call and waited for her because I was already there.
After minutes, I spotted a lady just as I was looking
around, who stood about some distance
away from me and immediately, I became so nerved as the hairs on my skin rose
and stood firm.
I rose up to meet and hug her then take her to my place but
on getting closer to her, she wasn't the one, I immediately channeled my way
outside, reached out for my phone in my pocket to make a fake called just to
avoid getting people notified on anything that was had happened.
Wow! So people can just look alike like this, I said aloud,
then went inside again.
After few minutes, I suddenly spotted a figure approaching
the entrance door, "could this be the Julie that I have been longing to
see? I asked myself, then I quickly dialed her number to confirm.
Oh yeah! She is the one, I sprucely rushed out to meet her and guess what!
She is damn Beautiful!
She had a sculpted figure which was twine-thin. Her waist
was tapered and she had a burnished complexion. A pair of arched eyebrows
looked down on sweeping eyelashes. Her delicate ears framed a button nose. A
set of dazzling, angel-white teeth gleamed as she blew gently on her
carmine-red fingernails. It was a pleasure to see her flowing, moon
shadow-black hair. Her enticing, constellation-black eyes gazed at me over her
puffy, heart shaped lips. She has a
cheerful personality, which I adored. Not content to be just another drone, she
wore vibrant clothes and in a very Decent manner.
"What took you so long, I asked in a calm voice.
She gave her reasons but her sugary voice alone made me
forgot her excuses and lateness as I began to swim in it. I took her inside,
alerted one of the waiters to get her what she wanted and mine as well. We were
served. We had some gists and played along as we eat. It was all fun.
It was from there we got to know more about each other. I
spent so many time with her but never still wanted to let her go because I was
really enjoying her company.
"Julie!" I called her,
"Yes", she
responded.
"Wouldn't it be nice if you would know where I
live, or do you have a tight schedule
today?" I said again in a low tune.
She paused for a while, and then said,
"Okay, no problem, let's go, hope it's not far"
"No... No... No, it's not far.
We stood up and left for my Place.
We got to my place, I opened the door. And guess what! My
room wasn't organized, I forgot to tidy up the room before leaving. I tried to
explain but she said, don't worry about that, I understand, we can still
arrange it up together. In fact, don't bother yourself, go to the bathroom,
shower and freshen up, I will do the
cleaning alone.
I changed immediately and went straight to the bathroom, and
came out after few minutes.
"Wow! What a splendiferous arrangement!" I exclaimed as the whole place was looking
heaven, even the kitchen.
"This is a wife material I got for myself" I
thought to myself.
"How is it" she asked with an alluring smiles on
her face.
I couldn't say a word either because I was still marveled at
the new look of my place.
"But could she be real or it just a pretense?" I
thought to myself again, just then she
interrupted.
"So What will you eat as dinner so I can quickly
prepare that for you before I go?" She asked.
This statement alone caught me finally that I concluded that
I would marry her. I don't mind if it's just few days we met.
"Just prepare anything, I will still eat. The food stuffs are there, take anything
and prepare, thanks" I replied.
We engage into a relationship which lasted for almost three
years. I finally took her aback with the statement,
"Will you Marry me?" I begged in a soft voice.
And in no hesitations, she accepted, I took her home,
introduced her to my families, they approved the marriage, we did the Marriage rites, fix a date for the wedding. The
date came And there the marriage kicked off, we were happy after we were joined
together as one, then DJ did as usual. We danced and danced. I was already in
the deep realm of dance when I suddenly heard a voice calling.
"Hillary...! Hillary..! are you still sleeping, don't you have work
today!"
That was a familiar voice, I continued dancing, but then the
morale had reduced and transformation was already gradually taken place.
The same voice continued again,
Hillary...! Hillary...! don't you people have work today?"
It was then I
Immediately open my eyes that I discovered that I was in the dreamland
and the voice calling was that of my Mum when she was trying to wake me up from
sleep.
I quickly rose from the bed, wanted to head straight to the
bathroom but realized that I haven't prayed, I went back, picked my Rosary,
began with the joyful Mystery, I checked my time and discovered that it was
already some minutes after eight, I wore back the rosary on my neck, made a
brief prayer and left to prepare for the
day.
