TO IFYANGELA


===============================



Bolu arrived Lagos and bought his sister's favourite Chocolate. Then he took a cab direct home from Ojota Park. The City wore a totally different look since he last saw it, and he felt like a stranger a.k.a JJC. He asked for prices to items he previously had in memory and it made him feel uneasy until he took the cab. Unless one had a photographic memory, you wont be able to recognise places you once knew before.

As he passed through the metropolis, he saw a bus conductor bleeding from a deep mouthcut. Some fellows were struggling to hold down a huge looking fellow who cursed back at the daring conductor. Definitely it was more than getting your transport fare change!! Bolu smiled to himself.


Silently after alighting from the cab, Bolu crept into the compound. The idea of surprising his siblings got stronger as he neared home. He looked about the compound and remembered the time it was still bush. He was five years old then. Now he was seventeen.

" Biggest guy! " Louis shouted from the balcony, bringing Bolu back to reality. " You want to silently walk in and scare me as before? Not gonna happen brother! " Louis chuckled.

" Can you fly from there? " Bolu teased.

" Hmm "

" Helen I'm home! " Bolu called our as he scaled the stairs.

" Yeeeeeehhhhh!! " Helen screamed and jumped on her elder brother, throwing her full weight on him. He quickly regained balance before they both fell onto the couch.

" You all are..... "

" Hmm " Louis interrupted excitingly as he viewed the changes Boarding-life had done to his brother.

" Where's dad? " Helen was already ransacking through his bag for her snacks.

" He's out, guess he told you we're having visitors. Our relatives are coming over, including Grandpa. " Helen explained as she saw her chocolate bars.

" Aha! Ahaa!! Bolu! , big big Bolu. " it was Aunty Bose.

" Aunty Bose !" Bolu got up and hugged her warmly.

" Two years and i almost feel like a stranger in my own City.

They happily entertained their brother and soon Helen was asking about tales from his school. Tiring, but he cheerfully did. He missed them both. They were the main reason he daily thought about their mum. He contacted her secretly without his father's knowledge.

" BB ! " Louis barged in to interrupt the tale-telling. Bolu was secretly grateful.

" oh! Dont interrupt our lovely brother-sister conversation please. " Helen grumbled.

" BB, you want to see who the ' Lord of the gamepad' is? "

" erm, Louis you never can tell yet. You might just be the 'subject' as usual. "

" No bets, just an open game."

Gladly Bolu left to join Louis and beckoned to Helen to come along as well. Afterwards, aunty Bose briefed Bolu about the matter on ground, and he affirmed his awareness of the situation.
