My love story❤: Part 3

 Journey to Abuja on air made me forget everything at school and at home. Remember I didn't inform anyone.


I got everything I needed to fly on my mail and I did as required. He bought a business class return ticket for me and the date showed I was to spend a whole week. OMG!


You can't even understand how ecstatic I was, travelling to meet my boyfriend by air, to a place I've always been fascinated by plus the huge amount of money he sent so I could fix one or two things for my journey.


I didn't want to look like a poverty stricken lady, so I had to fix my hair before I would travel that Monday morning. I know I was small but I had to just look mature to the people he might be introducing me to as his girlfriend because I obviously don't want them to categorise me as one of these underage girls. Never!


Just before I travelled, I meticulously and painstakingly picked the cloth I would wear there. All the stuffs in my wardrobe are too ''studentish'' and as a one week Abuja babe, I had to look classy, you know now😉


I withdrew part of the money he sent, I bought a pair of stock jean, two nice gowns and a top. I didn't want to buy much so he won't start thinking I'm a foolish spender. And also, I wanted to avoid being fake, I want him to still see the normal cloth I use to wear instead of wearing brand new stuffs every time like I came to just impress him with my new designer wears.


We couldn't stop talking to each other that night before my trip, how he couldn't wait to see me and be in the cozy warmth of my arms. My dream was entirely about Alfred, Abuja life and Aeroplane.


I made sure I didn't forget anything that morning, my bag packed and already to move. I muttered few lines of prayers to God, I was almost through when Alfred's call came in. I didn't want distraction in this kind of situation so I ignored it hoping to return the call when I'm done.


I picked up the phone to call him but he didn't answer for about three times. 

''Ah ah, where did this man put his phone again and he knows our plan?'' But he said he wouldn't go to the office na to prepare for my arrival, he shouldn't even do this o

I called again and he picked:

''Ah, God saved you'' I said jokingly

''I'm sorry darling, I had to quickly go the office for a board meeting and I couldn't pick up, I was calling you then to inform you when I was on my way. How are you my love?''

''I'm quite nervous about this journey, I thought you said you would not be going today''

''Yes dear, it was something I urgently needed to attend to but I would be leaving anytime soon. You have the whole of me for this week baby and please don't be scared, you know I got you hundred percentage (he grinned)''

''I know dear, let me be on my way to Lagos now, it's approximately 2hours max from here that's around 9am. How many hours will the plane even use from Lagos to Abuja? Shey like 5hours?😂'' 

''No, it's hundred hours'' he teased me. ''Your flight is for 12pm so you'll be here before 2pm. Have you even had breakfast?''

I was already moving out of my room with the phone held with my left ear to the shoulder, my hand bag dangling across my right shoulder and travelling bag on the other. I responded ''See, I'm so excited enough to eat. Just let me be o, I'm fine (giggling)'' I locked the door, looked around the house but saw none of my housemates then I remembered some of them are not back on campus yet and it's a Monday morning, they have obviously gone to check what's bubbling on campus after resumption. ''Darling, I'll call you when I get to the park, lemme flag down this bike man coming so I can get there on time, or you want me to miss my flight ?''


''Not at all, just take care of you my love and please get something to eat when you get to the park, I love you OK?''

''Yes boss (I laughed), I will eat something and I love you too❤.'' Conversion ended.


I got to the park, I was happy when I noticed it remained just two passengers for the vehicle to fill up. I sat at the middle seat of the hummer bus and few minutes later, the last passenger came then it was ''ourevoir''. My handsfree plugged in my ears and I was enjoying the list of shuffled music.


We got to Oshodi, I called him and he described how I would get to Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Ikeja. I found my way there and I must confess I was really looking like a newbie. I just kept staring and staring. Thoughts like '' so, this na the same airports wey I dey see for movies, na hin I reach o''


I was sha moving from one queue to the other as directed, I didn't know what they were checking on the slip I printed out. ''Ki lo kan nigga😂'' (what concerns me?)

And finally, we boarded the plane. Chai! Na business class I dey sef😋It seemed to me as if I was the youngest on the plane. I was looking round and in my thoughts I was like Alfred is the best man on planet earth. Nobody would even tell me not to marry this guy.


I'm a typical Yoruba girl from Oyo state while Alfred is from Anambra and I know my dad doesn't really like inter-tribal marriages. Telling him I'm bringing an Ibo guy home might be a hard nut to crack but at this point I've made up my mind that nothing would stop me from marrying this man even if it would require me doing that without my parent's consent.

Me in the plane was as though I was traveling out. I sat beside the window and I had promised myself I was going to peep into the space even though I have phobia for heights. I did and jeez, the altitude was so high.


The Air Peace hostess was looking very beautiful, she smiled at me and pointing at the menu trolley for me to pick up what I would want. I took hamburger and a glass of wine.


Finally, we touched down at Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport in Abuja and my baby was already waiting for me. I thanked God for a hitch free journey. I was so happy to see him and he was too. He took my bag and then we headed to where he packed his car.

''I'm so happy you came baby'' he said

''I'm glad you allowed it to happen too, thank you so much darling''

''I'm beginning to think of how I would cope when you go by weekend, I'm going to miss you so badly'' he unlocked his car, opened the back door to put my luggage and then the passenger seat for me.

I blushed ''me too o'' I waited for him to sit too ''where are we heading to?''

''My house at Maitama''

To be continued

Happy new week FAM❤

Virtual hugs🤗🤗🤗

Jedi-Jedi 💊

It seems as if jedijedi (chop yansh chop yansh) was propagated the past few weeks because I can count the number of people that had it. Even as I speak, it's still not fully flushed out of my system. Although there is no accurate english medical word for it, pile or hemorrhoids is widely known as jedijedi in Yoruba and it's caused by sweet or sugary things.  It's symptoms include itchy anus, abdominal and lower back pain, erectile dysfunction, diarrhoea, general body weakness and many more. You see ehn, whenever I see these salesman in car playing their herbal mixtures jingles for protruding anus, I was always laughing and making jest of those that could have found themselves in that particular health condition or probably thinking it only happens to children. I was shocked when I noticed my anus has protruded too. (this thing na turn by turn sha) Lol. I knew my sugar intake would immensely increase when I could no longer prepare food at home due to a tight schedule. I leav

Overcoming inferiority 🤳

  There are two sets of people reading this: those that have experienced my current state and those looking forward to it. Maybe I haven't said this but right now I'm blogging as a graduate. Yaaaay I'm not here to wail and narrate ordeals but you would agree with me the journey isn't bread and butter if you study in any of Nigeria's federal or state owned institutions. I want to believe that whoever has taken a step to pursue whether NCE, ND, HND, B.Sc/B.A/B.Ed/B.Agric/B.Tech, L.Lb or any other program in a tertiary institutions should be lauded indiscriminately. For someone like me, I would say it's the survival of the fittest. Almost weighed down and battling with inferiority complex among my friends in the university but at last I had to shake it off as in 'odeychi' Prior to this time, I mean about 5years ago during my ND, I always try to evade conversation that probe into where I school. I could remember how I would always lie to an admirer or any ot

Something big🔘

We all get happy when we hear our share is bigger than someone else's. Naturally as humans, we would always want more just like Oliver Twist. Shall I say we even hate to share things equally among others? We are most likely to negotiate with others to make them see reasons why we should have more of the normal share. Just like two people sharing the sum of #10,000, one may have to remind the other that he's older, whether he knows the person that gave them the money or maybe he worked more. So, I was eating pounded yam and egusi this afternoon (Well, I'm not willing to entertain any question about how I got the meal package sha). The meat was big and looks too gluttonous to be consumed but deep down I kind of like the fact that the meat was big. Most times, we want big things. Getting big pay, big contracts, big meats, big apartments even some guys like ''big and bang-bodied ladies.'' But wait, with all this big big stuff, what if someone gifted you a dress
