STORY: MY LOVE FOR HER... EPISODE 15


I pretended like I didn’t take
notice of her, playing a smile
on my lips. I won’t like to get
myself embarrassed. So I
kept on walking, Tricia
holding my hand. Her other
friends were following us
behind. Kosi jogged and
passed me, taking a look in
my direction… Some kind of
“F–k You” eye contact but I
smiled instead. Tricia
seemed to notice the
reaction.
Tricia: Who is she?
Me: You mean?
Tricia: She… The one that
jogged pass
Me: Oh! You mean her?
Never mind
Tricia: Is she your girlfriend?
Me: Isn’t she too beautiful?
Tricia: Am already feeling
jealous. Isn’t she gonna
break up with you?
Me: I won’t have to run to
you if she does
Tricia: Why?
Me: because you are the
bone of contention and
reason for the break up.
Tricia: You are so rude
Me: I don’t compromise
issues… I say things the way
it is on my mind. Am not
here to impress anyone.
I drew my hand off and
walked past her. She caught
up and grabbed my hand
again.
Tricia: Am sorry… I was eh
em…
Me: Don’t bother yourself.
Moreover, we just met.
Tricia: Hug me
Me: You dream a lot
Tricia: Just do it
Me: You wanna make your
friends jealous?
She giggled. I stopped and
waited for her friends to
catch up with us. I took the
hand of the prettiest and
kissed it.
Me: You look beautiful
Girl: Am flattered.
Me: Pleasure meeting you
Girl: Me too.
I took off to meet the coach.
With directives from the
Governor, all the activities
going on in the stadium
were called off and
everybody were asked to
seat down. The Governor’s
voice blasted from the
microphone.
Governor: Good morning all.
I will just go straight to the
point due to want of time.
In honor of my daughter’s
birthday today, I have
invited contingents from the
five states that make up the
South Eastern Geo political
zone, for a honorary athletic
display. This is how the
future is built. So, a
group of athletes here are
going to perform… I mean a
race is going to take place. A
100m. Only the 1st position
is needed. So all must strive
to win.
The winner will be going
home with the sum of 500K
and a car and will also have
the opportunity to cut the
birthday cake with my
daughter..
There was a loud ovation in
the stadium. I wasn’t much
interested in all he was
talking about.
Coach: Wally
Me: Coachie
Coach: You know you have
to win
Me: Am not fit ooo
Coach: But you are the only
better athlete around… You
must make me proud and
the state too.
Me: I will try my best but
don’t blame me for failure.
He tapped me in the back
and left. Each States
presented 3 contingents
each and the 1st-4th were
needed from the two
categories. I looked around
and saw Kosi standing with
Jegede and Williams.
They were hailing my name.
Even Tricia and her friends
too. I was the centre of
focus, this is because I was
the National champion in
the just concluded Nigeria
Universities games.
I was going to run first and
I was in high spirit. We knelt
on our marks as usual,
waiting for the whistle to
go. I was lost when the
whistle blasted. I didn’t pick
my pace well and I was
rewarded with the 4th
position and I felt my
muscles tearing. I felt so bad
but determined to win a
good position in the final
level. My coach was
disappointed with my
performance. One guy from
Ebonyi state was just
spearheading the day, he
was known as Flash and he
actually behaved that way.
He was way too fast and
was likely to be the
champion. We were given
time to cool off and relax
our muscles in anticipation
for the final test of the day…
I went to meet my cartel.
Williams: I swear, I go break
your head if you lose eh
Me: No wahala… Na me be
jet na
Jegede: Go and win this race
jaree. You pass that
Abakaliki guy. Na our city be
dis o
Me: By God’s grace.
I was expecting Kosi to say
something but she didn’t
and I left. Tricia jammed me
on the way.
Tricia: I known you are
gonna do this… Just do it
Me: I will try my best
Moderator: ALL ATHLETES
SHOULD COME TO THE TRACK
FOR THE FINALS
Me: I have to go
Tricia: All the best dear
Me: Thanks I touched her
face as I left.
I took my position in the 4th
lane while Flash took the 6th
lane. He was very much
confident about himself. He
looked at me and I
recognized him. We met in
Calabar during the National
Sports Festival.
The whistle blasted and we
took off….
