Story Written by PRINCE DANIEL
There was a dramatic change in the atmosphere as
one
could hardly see someone on a close range. It was as
if
it will be rainy in any moment though, the weather was
enjoyable
as it keep producing alot of breeze. Uniport students
were
seen hanging around the school premesis. Some were
in
the company of their lovers while some were just
interacting
and laughing with their friends. Daniel being in yellow
top
and black trouser came out from the H.O.D’s office
walking
down to his car. His eyes was so focus on the paper
he
was holding that he didn’t know when he bumped into
a
girl making her books to fall on the ground. Due to
vibration
of fear, she almost lost her balance. She stare at her
books
for a while and adjusted downward to pick it up.
Daniel
also went down to pick them up for her.
“It’s
ok” Ella said but Daniel paid deaf ears- still picking the
books up.
“Leave it.
leave it” Ella said again. But Daniel continued picking
it
up until his eyes left the books and went to Ella. He
was
shocked when he realized who he bump into. the girl
he has
dreamt of making his wife eversince he set his eyes
on
her at the supermarket. He was just staring at her
continuously.
FLASHBACK
Ella came out from the supper market and went to the
road side,
waiting for a cab. Minutes later, after a while of standing
by
the road, she saw a cab coming to her direction. She
wave
at It until It slowly stopped beside her. She went in and
close
the door. Just then, Daniel ride in to the supper market.
He
quicky came out from his car rushing to meet Ella. But
it
was late already. The cab has already moved.
Back To Reality.
Daniel have stopped picking up the books. He was busy
staring
at Ella and lost in his own fantasy.
“I
have seen you before” Daniel said. Ella adjusted upright
holding
her note books. She took a glance at Daniel for the first
time.
“I’m sorry. I have not seen you before” She responded
and
started walking to her department alongside with Jennifer her
friend
who was mute all those while. Daniel was dumbstruck. He
can’t
imagine himself falling for a girl who don’t even know him. Ever since
he
set his eyes on Ella, he haven’t been himself. He can’t help
but
to fall in love with her everyday. He have dreamt of making her
his better
half but it seems it won’t come to Reality; even at that, he never
wanted
to give up. He felt there’s hope. He was just watching Ella’s figure
until
they were out of sight.

Daniel drove his car and parked it beneath a mango tree in Ella’s
compound.
He came down from his car, exposing the bunch of keys on his
hand
which added to his handsomeness. He walked to the door,
and
stood like a solider contemplating if to knock or not. After standing for
some
minutes, He summoned courage and knocked. He put his two
hands
in his pocket looking around the environment. Ella opened the
door
and came out. She was shocked to see Daniel. She wondered
what
he want from her and how he managed to locate where she live.
“Hi” Daniel greeted with a smile.
“What do you want?” Ella asked with a frown face.
The
smile on Daniel’s face vanished.
“Who told you I stay here? what do you want?” she asked further
and daniel smile.
“it’s too many for me to answer at once” daniel responded.
“What
do you want from me?” Ella asked again raising her voice.
“Ok, to
start with. My name is Daniel and” He was interrupted by Ella.
“cut
the whole details. What do you want? How do you know I live
here?” She
asked looking around to check if someone came with Him. but, she didn’t see anyone. She was
still
surprise how he located her house.
“To
be sincere with you.ok, I saw you on an Okada, and I followed you
all
the way to this point” Daniel Explained.
“Followed me?” Ella
asked still don’t know why he did that.
“I’m sorry ok.
I’m really sorry. I don’t mean any harm. I just want us to get acquainted that’s all” Daniel
responded calmly.
“Ok. so, you’re one of those cult guys right? I knew it from the first
time
I saw you, that there was something strange about you.
please,
I don’t want any problem. Please I don’t want any trouble” She
begged.
Daniel was just laughing coz it seems funny to him.
“You
have a very wrong inspiration about me you know?” Daniel
said laughing.
“Please give me the right inspiration” She responded flying her
hands.
“Ok. what if I say that, from the very first day I set my eyes on
you,
I fell in love with you. Will that make me a cultist? mine being
a
gentle man to help you pick up your books when it fell off,
will
that make me a cultist?. what if I say to you that I have longed and
wish
to spend my whole life with you, will that make me a cultist?” Daniel
asked.
Ella was just looking at him dumbfounded.
“I
can see that you have gone really really crazy. I will advice you
to
leave now before I call the police” Ella said.
“I’m
damn serious. I’m serious” Daniel responded.
“Ok Ok fine.
let’s call the whole thing out ok. My uncle happens to be very ill.
You
call me out here to tell me all this jargons? maybe you should
take
a leave now. Good day” she said walking to the door.
“Eeh em mm” Daniel
saw
himself stammering. Before he could find a word to say, she has
already
shut the door on his face. He looked around the house again.
“Well,

car.
