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.

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.

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" I asked in shock, only if he knew they were Man-eaters. " Wenakite!!!" A guy in distress ran to us carrying a dead body, he was also a Manhunter. Behind him is another guy also carrying a body, Ologwu's body. " What happened?" Wenakite asked staring at the bodies, " Chila and Karma are Man eaters, they killed them" One of the guys shouted as he cried alongside, wenakite turned to me " Did you know about this? " he asked me in anger, " I never knew they were Man eaters" I lied staring at Ologwu's body and remembering his father. "How did the both of you survive?" Wenakite asked them, " They let us go telling us to come tell you the good news "the guy answered. " Bury them" Wenakite ordered, " I told you , you took the wrong decision" I said, " Depart from me Ewite" He ordered , I walked away slowly.

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.

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.

” 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..

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..

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.
