Good Morning Folks,

So sorry for the short hiatus. I actually lost my phone three days ago and that was why I couldn't post any updates.

But thanks to Jehovah, a good Samaritan returned it this morning.

It feels good to be back. I have really missed you guys in these past three days.

Expect updates this morning.

Cheers.

Episode 35 (Chapter 29)


Like Blessing, Tomiwa after sometime dismissed thoughts of her off his head. It wasn’t the first time that ladies had thrown passes at him and he was sure it wasn’t going to be the last. However, Providence was not yet done with both of them!

Three weeks later, Tomiwa while returning from work was low on gas, so he decided to stop over at a filling station to get some fuel for his car. He filled up his tank and he was about to leave when he saw a lady walked out of the supermarket at the rear of the filling station. There was no way he was going to miss that sight! The lady was too appealing not to catch his attention.

She was tall and dark in complexion. She wore a blue striped-long-sleeve shirt well tucked into a black pair of trousers. Her eyes were like those of a model and her nose and lips were shaped to give her a stunning look. Her head was adored with a well-styled Ghana Weaving. Her makeup was moderate but good enough to project her natural beauty. She walked with the majesty of queens and her carriage exuded a magnificent confidence. Her elegance and the aura that went with it were simply entrancing. It was as if she just walked down from heaven in her striking beauty!

‘Jeeeeeez! Who is this damsel coming forth from the horizon with the glamour and splendour of queens? Ah, who is this adorable one whose beauty is so wonderful and bountiful? Oh, who is this beauty icon, so masterfully crafted? Who is this African Queen, the semblance of Queen of Sheba of old, with a cloud of beauty hovering over her head? Who is this magnificent angel that wears elegance as her trinkets and drags the sun and the moon along with her as she walks about in her radiance?’ Tomiwa was lost in a poetic thought so much so that he didn’t realise when the next set of words bounced off his mouth …

“Woooow! I thought angels were usually fair. I never knew there were also dark-skinned angels!”

As the lady moved closer, Tomiwa’s gaze was still locked on her. Then, she raised her eyes and they met Tomiwa’s. They stared at each other; the gazes were long and penetrating. It was almost as if they were hooked in a gazing competition waiting for who would look away first. Her gaze suddenly narrowed into a squeeze and she spoke at the top of her voice …

“PLANTAIN GUY!”

“OH, WALNUT LADY!”

“What are you doing here?” She asked after recovering from the surprise and succeeding in concealing the joy she felt at seeing him.

“I came in here to fuel my car. What about you? The last time I checked, you don’t get walnuts in supermarkets.” Tomiwa teased and they both laughed.

“You never can tell, you know. These days there is hardly anything you can’t get at the supermarkets. Anyway, I came here to do a little shopping for the house.”

“I see. So you live around here?” Tomiwa asked.

“Not too far from here really. A couple of streets away.” She replied with a smile.

“The name is Tomiwa Lawson.” Tomiwa said stretching his hand for a handshake.

“Wow, what a name. Yoruba?”

“Yes, proudly Yoruba.”

“I am Blessing Eluekachi, Deltan to the core.”

“Oh, Jeeez! What a beautiful name for an elegant damsel.”

“Mm-Hmmm?”

They talked for about five minutes more and after exchanging contacts, they both left. Tomiwa was marvelled by the beauty he saw. He never knew the Walnut Lady was as beautiful as that when he first saw her in the traffic. He never thought that dark ladies could be that beautiful. Blessing was a perfect representation of an AFRICAN BEAUTY! In that moment, Tomiwa’s picture of his dream girl changed. Before now, he had always dreamt of fair ladies but not anymore … Right now, ‘swarthy’ was the word!

Blessing drove home happier than ever before. Providence had brought her across the Plantain Guy (whom she now knew as Tomiwa) after she had written off the possibility of seeing him again. ‘Oh, God bless that hunch that made me stop over at the supermarket this evening. And come to think of it, I almost postponed it till tomorrow. Ah! I wouldn’t have forgiven myself if I later found out he was there today and I missed him!’ She thought.

When she got home, she excitedly announced to Bukky, her close friend and roommate, “Bukky, guess what?”

“What? And why are you this excited? Did you win a jackpot or something?”

“In a sense, yes! I met my Plantain Guy today at the filling station! Can you believe that?”

“Wow! This is good news … Did you talk to him? Did you get his contact? Did he collect yours? Is he still available? Is he cool? Was he inviting?” Bukky bombarded her with all the questions in one breath.

“Ah-ah, Bukky! One question at a time now.”

“Okay. Oya, give me the gist … and I mean the full gist.”

“Ah, Bukky! You too like gist”

“Before nko?”

Both ladies sat down and Blessing downloaded the gist to her. She was quite happy narrating the story and Bukky was definitely happy hearing it as both faces were aglow with excitement throughout the discussion.

Episode 36 (Chapter 29)


In no time, what started as calls to say “hi” graduated to dates and outings, and eventually metamorphosed into a full-fledged romantic relationship. So it was that the Plantain Guy and the Walnut Lady became locked in a relationship that even Tomiwa didn’t believe could ever exist after losing Rachael. He had always thought that having Rachael was the height of a perfect relationship but he now knew better than that because that couldn’t compare to what he had with Blessing now!

Their first date was at a Mr Biggs outlet at Ojodu area of Lagos and it was an exhilarating experience. She was cladded in a red sleeveless turtle-necked top and black denim jeans. Her hair rested fittingly on her head like a skull cap, and the scent of her perfume was inviting to the nose. She looked dashing as she sat down sipping on her bottle of Fanta waiting for Tomiwa.

Blessing fully absorbed in her world, didn’t take note of all the drama taking place around her. Her charming aura was like a magnetic field pulling the prying eyes of almost every male in the outlet. Those that were with their girlfriends discretely stole glances at her—an act that almost got one of them into trouble with his partner.

He had been able to do it successfully several times without his girlfriend noticing it until he overdid it. In a way, it wasn’t entirely his fault because it appeared that the gravitational pull from Blessing was simply too strong this time around that he didn’t take off his eyes early enough; he was completely lost in thought as he fixed his eyes on her. Then, his girlfriend asked him a question that he was too absent-minded to respond to and that was what gave him away!

She turned in the direction of his gaze and realised it rested on the beautiful damsel few tables away. Her countenance changed immediately as she boiled with anger.

“Azuka! What are you looking at?! Has it gotten to the point that you cannot take your eyes off beautiful ladies even in my presence? How disgusting!” The lady vented.

He was startled. “B … B … Baby, I … wasn’t looking at no girl. I … just didn’t want to miss that goal.” He lied pointing to the television screen that was showing a football match. However, the lady was smarter than that.

“Since when did that beautiful girl in red over there become a television screen, Azuka?”

“What are you saying, Baby?” He defended himself and tried to keep in check his fidgeting hands that almost knocked off the drink in front of him.

“Gosh! What is this thing with men and their annoying ego? Instead of you accepting your mistake and apologizing, you are there busy conjuring all sorts of lies!” The lady countered immediately.

“Well … I don’t know what you are talking about. Can we change this topic, please?”

Just then, Tomiwa came in and saw the little drama. He went straight to Blessing and took his seat in front of her.

“Hello, my Beautiful One, sorry I kept you waiting for a little. By the way, what is that drama happening over there?”

“What drama, Honey?”

“I mean that.” He replied drawing her attention to the couple. It was then he realised what was happening.

“Hmmm … I can see you have caused a lot of commotion before I came in.”

“Commotion? How?”

“Look at that couple, from their reaction I can see that the lady caught the poor guy looking at you and she was not happy about it. So, how many more heads have you knocked off before I arrived?”

She smiled. “Tommy, you know I don’t like being flattered.”

“You see? Exactly what I was talking about. The way you smiled just now almost got my head spinning. If I was with another lady, maybe this your disarming smile might have landed me in trouble too like that poor dude.”

Blessing laughed. “Really?”

“Of course, my African Queen! Do you know that it is this kind of beauty that makes even celibates break their vow of celibacy? When I came in and I saw you, I almost ran back, you know.”

“Almost ran back? Why?”

“I was wondering that since when angels start waiting for me at the eatery?”

Blessing burst out laughing and blushing at the same time. “Tommy, you are not serious ooo. Have you ever heard of angels in dark skin?”

“I didn’t know they existed too until I met you.”

“Oh, stop. You are killing with laughter.… Tommy, do you know one of the things I like about you?”

“What?”

“Your sense of humour.”

“Oh, thank you.”

They chatted away, enjoying the company of each other. Tomiwa’s presence did not stop the other guys present in the restaurant from stealing glances at Blessing. They adored her beauty and many of them envied Tomiwa.

Some of the glances didn’t escape the notice of Tomiwa and Blessing, however. Each time they noticed one, Tomiwa would smile and say, “Baby, I just caught another one looking at you.” She would smile and asked, “Ehn-ehn, which one?” And he would whisper, “That one in a yellow shirt over there.” That was how their interesting conversations were interrupted from time to time. But none of those interruptions could compare to the one that was about to happen. Tomiwa turned towards the door and he saw someone …

His eyes grew wide immediately, almost popping out of their sockets, and his jaw dropped leaving his mouth widely opened enough for a hundred flies to enter at once; he could not find the power to close it.

“What?” Blessing, surprised, asked.

He pointed towards the door and she turned towards the door. Instantly, her eyes grew wide too and her mouth opened in shock. She froze …
