We see people everyday of our lives. From different kind of races, different colors etc.We never take the time to look at people and see the pain in their eyes.I was born with the silver spoon in my mouth, the super rich girl with lot of friends, the kind of girl everybody wants to be associated with ,lots of fans well i guess i had it all.I just finished secondary school, i had good grades in my W A E C and i couldn't wait to get into the university. I got admission to one of the best schools in Nigeria.You know that feeling you get when you feel your now in the university you feel your now a big girl, well i had that feeling i couldn't wait to be in the university, being free from my parents been over protective,it was a dream come true.Going to the university was going make a huge impact in my life i imagined all sort of good things that would happen in the university, i knew it was not going to be like secondary school were everybody wanted to be friends with the rich girl you know i wanted to go somewhere different, somewhere i was allowed to be me.
It's been a month now since i came to the university nothing out of the ordinary was happening in my life i think i over expected the university to be way too much fun.Today been uneventful as any other day in the university done with classes needed to get groceries i had nothing to eat at home.At the grocery shop while paying for my groceries i saw this guy he was HOT!!, he was cute, i think he was flawless i practically stared at him while paying for my groceries how could some one be so perfect??? i asked myself , well i guess that question i had no answer to.I finished paying for my groceries walked to my car to go back to my apartment i guess i was in cloud nine after seeing the most beautiful man on earth. I saw him walking towards me i guess i was brought back to earth again i could not believe he was walking towards me maybe he was going to the car next to mine so many were running through my head.He came to me "hi" he said "hi" i replied "you look good"he said to me and i told him thank you so much i just could not believe i was talking to him , he told me his name was Tunde gees cute name for a cute guy, he asked for my name and number and i told him my name was Aisha then i gave him my number and he promised to give me a call then he was off.My oh my , my heart was beating too fast i taught it was going to burst out of my chest Jesus i said how could some one has such an effect on me ?? i asked myself .
Two weeks has gone by and i still hadn't received a call from Tunde i felt really stupid for thinking tunde actually fancied me i felt so dis-appointed because every time a new number called my mobile i thought it was tunde and i felt really stupid when i find out he was not the one calling.Well i decided to move on and live my life forget about tunde and focus on my books.After my lectures for the day i decided to go eat at the cafeteria well the first person i saw having lunch with his friends was tunde i could not believe my eyes it was like my lucky stars decided to shine on me and my prayers were answered. He didn't see me though so i just walked past to go order something to eat on my way back i had to pass through their table to get to mine how i dreaded passing through their table i wished there was another route to get to mine.I braved up and passed by gees they were into their conversation to notice me walk by i was so happy until tunde said aisha i felt like dropping the tray and running home,well i just turned to him gave him the perfect smile and i said hi tunde, he took excuse from his friends and came to sit with me at my table, he started apologizing for not being able to call me because he had lost his phone he said he was really really sorry he looked so cute apologizing i just had to say your forgiven.
Tunde was such a gentle man he walked me home and he promised to give me a call that this time it was going to be for real , he was gonna call me. He kept his promise, he did call me that was the start of i and Tunde's relationship we were made for each other,even though we fought and we preferred other things,tunde liked listening to songs sang by Enya and Yanni , and i thought those kind of songs were pretty boring i liked hip hop and a little bit of blues depending on my mood tunde was the quiet kind of person i was all jovial and loved talking its a wonder i did not bore him with the way i talked.Tunde was the best i could ever ask for he knew me inside out ,he was always there for me, he was the center of my world i loved him with everything i had everything i owned he was the perfect man.
I love tunde it's valentine's day i want to make this the most memorable valentine he would ever have and i was so anxious to see what he got for me i was so hyper like gees this is my day.Tunde calls me and tells me had reserved a place for us in one of Kano biggest restaurant am like OMG he is the best i love......him.I could not wait to his face when i gave him his valentine's gift.The cab tunde sent for me was waiting for me outside my house, i got into the cab and the driver was complaining about the traffic jam in one of the high ways in Kano it was one of the major ways we could get to the restaurant i told "Oga hurry up abeg person dey wait for me oh". He told me "Madam nor be my fault oh na this hold up wey dey slow me down".I decided to take a little nap because i was tired from the day's classes i think i had slept for five minutes when i heard the driver screaming, i wondered what he was screaming about i turned back to look at him direction and i saw that one of the big trucks carrying petrol lost control of his brakes and he could not control his truck.I could hear my heart pounding in my chest,he was going to hit us with his truck OMG i won't even see tunde before i die, i started praying to all the gods i knew to come help us the driver was crying saying "I get five children ohh God if i die na who go pay thier school fees, my wife go kon go village baba God help me".Before he could close his mouth the truck smashed into our little car OMG pain,i could smell smoke in the air and i saw that our car was on fire the car was upside down i was bleeding i could not feel my legs i asked myself "so i won't see tunde reaction when he opens my gift, i would die not knowing what he got for me".Life is not fair everyday people die i guess its my turn.
i think certain readers get discouraged when they see lenthy stories especially when they dont know you too well,if you would start with short stories and inrease your fan base so they know you, then people would choose to read it even if its 10 pages.(suggestion). Nice story tho.
