TATTERED HEART. (episode 1)

Jane is undervalued when qualified beautiful, half heartedly she is a specially made specie. Curtis is a medical student at the John Hopkins university and the elder Eric, a graduate of accountancy, he graduated from oxford now the auditor -general of shell . Sir oye yusuphs, although hailed from the evergreen Oyo land but detests its structure, nature and composure,no wonder he named his children briton,although they are also citizens too.He is a chief psychotherapist in Lisbon and Mrs yusuphs is a lecturer of international politics in Amsterdam.
No doubt that the yusuphs' family are stinkingly rich. Their affluence is met by international recognition and an astronomical educational pertinence.
Jane: dad, what's up
Mr yusuphs: daughter, you slept well baby?
Jane: I did . dad next week I'll be off to school.
Mr yusuphs: I hurdled you to go to Michigan but you refused.
Jane: (shyly) I'd loved to study in Ukraine but you all complained of the nervy weather; it's women that nag.furthering my studies in Cambridge is sealed already and I never go through any exam before been admitted to the supposed leading university in Nigeria.
Mr yusuphs: whose work?
Jane: my loving parents... When Eric and Curtis come for Dare's wedding, shower them my greetings.
Mr yusuphs: I'll do just that.
Mrs yusuphs: (enters and interrupts) And what will keep you absent for the occasion?
Jane: mum, I'll arrange my stuffs.
Mrs yusuphs: find another lie, I know that Judith the house help had done all that a month before today.
Jane: (disturbed) you know I gota familiarize myself with this damn country, my arrival is just a week old.
Mr yusuphs: (bemused) I can understand. Interrogation overruled.
No doubt that the Mr yusuphs immeasurably loves his children and he show them often in words and action. The established rapour between the parent and the children make their abode worth abiding with.



TATTERED HEART. (episode 2)

Kunmi Alao is a sole hustler,constrained by fractured family setup with a strained educational provision. Preliminarily, his parents had incessantly warned him to stop school. Mr Alao would say "I want for you no sadness nor worry , we should not cripple ourselves to see you through school. Primarily, you and I know that we can't dare afford it.
Mr Alao: life in the city is unbelievable, you could get broken or broke tomorrow and you never find your way
Kunmi: can't understand you
Mr Alao:I think you are off to Lagos
Kunmi: you are somehow near; yes I'm leaving the house tomorrow but I'm not heading to Lagos.(I begin to think that where did my father come across Darey and his song but I disallow it bothering me)
Mrs Alaosad walks in) where to (in a devastating tone)
Kunmi: dad, mum I'm sorry for the late announcement, I've made up my mind to engrave our poverty so I must school at all cost. I'm going to the premier university tomorrow.
Mr Alao: and you will pay them stone and eat sand when you get there, my boy , why must you always make me feel incapacitative all the time? And you know I'm doing all the doables( start weeping)
Kunmi: (terrified) but you should allow me to finish. Dad, I don't have parent that will see me through school but I have parent that will see me through life in the longest run. I do know that a squirrel that will climb the plantain stem must have sharp pawnails. I'm happy to have you the way you are. Mr and Mrs Alao , believe me you are the best parent that have ever exist. Just keep praying for me and we'll laugh last.
Mrs Alao: as your nickname, you will be useful for me and your dad, wish you well my son....(the mother keeps praying until light fades)


TATTERED HEART. (episode 3)

Eric's private jet was the vehicle that Jane boarded to school.Mr Yusuphs had arranged for her a Lexus jeep that will serve as Jane's private car on campus. But she returned the car unappreciatively , she said" so, dad can undervalue me to this degree ". A brand new Chevrolet jeep 2017 model was scurily sent to appeace her. Jane finds Nigeria partially livable.
Kunmi Alao in the vehicle taking him from his home town, Oshogbo to Ibadan where he want to study. Pathetic enough, kunmi Alao can't afford to pay for a car nor bus. He clustered himself on a "pounpoun" long vehicle transporting snails, banana, Apple and all sorts to Aleshinloye market in Ibadan.
Kunmi: (sitting on a banana bunch, intending to soliloquize but his words are louder than using a microphone) kunmi kunmo...
Oko mama e....
Omo baba e...
Going to school....
With no school fee...
And no foodstuffs...
( He was singing this repeatedly , finally, he stopped...)
How am I going to cope in school? Where will I stay? I only have 5k wit me which is not even enough to complete my registration.
( After some minutes, he felt triggered)
How do I get the money for my jamb? And even how do I completed my secondary school. I shouldn't stop schooling. Beautiful Nubia said if you give up on the finish line you never won the race.
(Soon they got to Ibadan, kunmi liased with the owner of the banana the driver brought to Ibadan that he'll like to work for her. The madam initially rejected enunciating that she want female worker but later calmed her nerves when kunmi bragged that His work rate surpassed that of a lady. That is why they flagged him "useful"
Before kunmi left the market that day , he branched to those aboki , wheel barrow load carriers' place arranging for himself a wheel barrow of his own and registered with the wheel barrow association of the market. All is not done yet,he headed to a big store where he inquired to work there as a cleaner.
A person will wonder why kunmi seeked all those "pay before service " jobs, his father had told him when he was young that Ibadan people are misers; don't do month agreement with them , they are outrageously flexible. And again, kunmi believed he needs a day payment job to cater for his immediate needs in school. At the same time, he can't guarantee himself full attendance and presence in the job, he will need to go for lectures.

TATTERED HEART. (episode 4)

Dr Sam nicknamed "wizard at work" just left the 100 level political science class. The departmental excos came to the students for formal introduction.
President: (in a peremptoring tone) gentlemen and Ladies, I'm comrade Ayoze; the departmental president (cited Jane , so after concluding his speech approached her but his epilogue was pay your departmental levy. It's just 3k. This what's trending of which everyone inside the lecture theatre were discussing but the president is busy with his epistle with Jane)
Jane: I'm Janey
President: I know that before
Jane: (surprised)what's that
President: that you will bear a nice name
Jane: (contented) your words are comic.
(The colossal noise of everyone in the lecture theatre supplanted the president and Jane's discussion as everyone want to know the nature of the snarl)
Janesadworried)what the hell is going on?
President: I shouldn't proscribe in absential. Let's grace the scene first (holding Jane and feeling happier and pumpous,although Jane never mind. She is focussed on getting to the scene)
Alas!! Kunmi was the subject of attention. Kunmi had gone to his load carrier center before heading to school. Unluckily for him, the tyre of his wheel barrow is faulty so he decided to do the "morning rush" as it is called without tool as no one will wish to lease his wheel barrow at the early period of the day. When kunmi was carrying the load on his head. The hefty part of the load tore his cloth. After collecting the peanut for the work, he forgone mending his cloth for repairing his working tool concluding that "since my cloth tore at the black where my bag can easily cover, let me use the money to repair my " irin ise" to avoid further scourges". On getting to school, he has forgotten that he has skeleton in his cupboard. He asked a guy about the lesson he has missed; the guy gave him his jotting note so that kunmi too will get something written. As kunmi intended to bring out his jotting note, he freed his bag from his back and they were adjacent to some IBO girls. As they saw the torn cloth, they all shouted "CHINEKE" that's what provided the derisive situation.

Madam: ki le fe o(what do you want)

TATTERED HEART. (episode 6)

Lecturer: you have less than twenty five minutes for the test and don't forget, your excellence starts from here.
Kunmisadscurry into the lecture room like an anopheles mosquito) good day sir.
Lecturer: and in what way spell out that today is good for you? You are coming in thirteen minutes to the end of the test... For the fact that you are new,that's your bailiff. Your seniors know me to be strictly principled. Anyway go in there and try your luck.
Kunmi came late for the test because he had gone for his morning chores but he hasn't done the cleaning at madam's place. He was heading to school for the test when madam's Prado jeeb jabbed in. Madam being an intelligent illiterate stressed not herself to figure him. Kunmi lied he forgot to off his gas cooker so he is heading to do justice to it ,that's what freed him from madam's reticence, he won't have been allowed if not for his tailored lie. Alas!! Kunmi never had a stove talkless of a gas cooker.
Kunmisadruminating on the degree madam's hotness would have attained)(saying this to himself) out of this three question if I can spank two confidently. Four minutes for each question and rush back to madam, my penalty will be minimal.
Lecturer: (looking at kunmi derisively) done I heard you said?
Kunmi: I'm somehow through sir
Lecturer: somehow!! We'll see to that in the next one week.(he keep wondering what kunmi would have put down that warrant his submission too too cursory. He decided to put his sheet in a separate place so that he'll easily recognise it)..
All the students in the lecture theatre offering the test can't keep their amazement after the lecturer had passed the exit door.
Klef: I fall for that guy o!!
Raymond: I guess he wrote nothing because I can't measure how tough the test was.
Klef(cuts in arrogantly) that will now be too venal to finish in just nine minutes, thirteen seconds
Raymond: una de count am? You mad ni
Klef: (lamenting) na fact I dey tell you. That's to show how the thing de bulu my heart.
Raymond: for your mind!!

Later that day, at the Queen's Lodge where Jane and Iva abide with, the issue hasn't die. Well, I don't blame them. The hostel is monopolized by freshers and they are all Ladies.
Iva: and it is the guy again... The frame of attention all the time
Maraim:well, everyone is clumped with his or her own problem; that's for him which I can't allow it bother me(walked stylishly into her room to receive a call from her PEPs ; the savour of their discussion can make one go gaga)
Jane: I wish he do well in the test!!!
Ivasadvigorously) what are you feeling for him??
Jane: what do you want me to feel??he is a hustler and from what we saw,he is enormously intelligent.
Iva: what do we see??
Jane: I don't know. But he was eloquent at the store.
Iva: well, do not forget that he's too degrading to you.
Jane: (angry)and what damn do you mean??
Iva: (understands that any time Jane uses "damn" she's swimming in the anger's beach.so she withheld her tease) beauty, don't personalize.
Mariamsadwalks out of the inner room) girls let's stroll out!!!
