A romantic short story on a love affair between a Nigerian bus stop tout and an Arab street girl beggar in the city of Lagos seven years ago. The events in this story happened in 1998, in the city of Lagos in Nigeria. The sun is going westward. The climate is calm. Peripatetic Hadiyat is with her family in the midst of the other families of itinerant Arab street beggars under the flyover in front of the National Stadium in Lagos. There are several yellow minibuses and some motorbikes used for public transportation at the bus stop with the drivers, conductors and the menacing touts disliked by everybody, except themselves and their employers. And they are there, because of the numerous commuters that cannot avoid coming to the bus stop, because it is a central place for public transport. There are so many commuters thronging the bus stop by the main gateof the stadium. Some of the commuters are sports enthusiasts who come to practice their respective sports at the stadium, white collar and blue-collar workers and traders. Many of the petty traders have found enough space under the flyover to sell their goods. These commuters are the targets of these Arab beggars and looking at their cheerful faces, they seem to be happy with the commuters who have been kind and generous to them. As one can see the beggars accosting the commuters at the bus stop, those inside the buses and those outside the buses and also going to accost the people in cars and other vehicles on the road as they slow down on getting to the bus stop or as the traffic wardens stop them at the junction of the stadium.
