Story: Compulsory Marriage - Season 1 - Episode 2

I went downstairs to look around and do some sightseeing as the school premises has really changed from the way it was when i graduated from the school..Apparently the state government and the school management have been pumping lots of money to the school in terms of infrastructural development.

I walked to the canteen to put something in my stomach and relax a bit till around 8:30 before i decided to check back at the faculty office. Luckily for me, the office was opened and i met a man and a lady there…..

Me: Good morning Sir….

Man: Morning……

Me: please i want to find out about the process of obtaining my transcript……

Man: Ohk…did you finish from this faculty?

Me: Yes Sir…..

Man: Transcript is not process from the faculty office…you will need to go to the ICT centre (Exam and Records Department for the processing)

Me: Ohk…..please where is that sir?

Man: The building is directly opposite MBA hall…do u know MBA?

Me: I guess i know Sir

Man: Just directly opposite MBA building, you will see their building with a mast.

Me: Ohk Sir…thank you so much Sir

Man: You welcome…..

I dashed out immediately and started thinking that i would have even be through with the processing if i had the right information before coming to the schooling instead of wasting time waiting for the faculty officer……..

I drove down to MBA and the building was so easy to identify…i walked in and made enquiry, which i was told i don’t even need to come to the school for processing my transcript as everything is now online and they don’t request manually again…..the lady that attended to me asked me to visit the school website to request for my transcript……………………….”waoh…..that means my journey to Lasu is a waste as i would have done this at the comfort of my room”.

I walked out and started driving towards the second gate which i came in through….i burst out at iba road and turn back going to Igando….turning back to directly opposite the school gate, standing there was the lady i met at the corridor of the faculty office earlier….waoh, i never got the opportunity to see her physique when we had the conversation then as she rested her butt0ckz somewhere and her hand over her chest with her bag then…..i parked and horn for her

Me: hello……

Lady: Hi

Me: where are you heading to?

Lady: Iyana Ipaja side……

Me: Ohhhh…am going towards egbeda…maybe i can help u a little

Lady: thank so much Sir……..

She hopped in and we started going…………….After a while

Me: Please whats the name if i may ask

Lady: Am mary….

Mary: i don’t know oooooo………

Me: Are you not a student of the school

Mary: I graduated 2012………….

Me: Ohh…..am very sorry……

Mary: I only came to make enquiry about my certificate……

Mary: ohk…joke ke? Am seriously searching for work oo…am tired of staying at home

Me: On a more serious note..a beautiful lady like you shouldn’t search for work so long like this now cos no interviewer will see you and wouldn’t want to give you a job straight away

Mary: I pray its by that ooo…………….

Me: Yes now…….if i ever interview someone like you, believe me you av gotten the job already cos this your beauty is enchanting

Mary: I hear u….no be by beauty jare..rather wat u have upstairs…..moreover, thanks for flattering me

Me: what do u mean now….how will i be flattering you..sincerely, its been a while i set my eyes on a beauty like you……….God completed everything in you.

Mary: Lolzzzz…….Okunrin sha…all of you are the same thing

Me: same thing as how?

Mary: what do u mean by God completed everything in me………

Me: Yes now…..You aint too tall or short…….every part of ur body is perfect…including ********sorry am not suppose to mention that

Mary: Including what? You are free now…anything you say, it wont be the first time i will be hearing it and it wont be the last time……so u better pour out all you have on ur mind before it started causing headache for you.

Me: lolzzz……..that kind one dey cause headache…

Mary: Yes of course

Me: well some things are better left unsaid sha cos u don’t know what you will say that you wont be able to say another one again

Mary: lolzzz……datz very funny…have u ever said one before that landed you in trouble

Me: yes now but it was my friend

Mary: ehn ehn…..what happened to him

Me: He saw a lady at a party we went to last week and was complementing her without knowing that the lady was a fiancée of a Colonel…the lady was enjoying my guy too and dey were rocking each other before the young colonel came and my guy thought it was just ordinary guy..it took maturity before we were able to settle it…

Mary: Lolzz….hope it didn’t lead to trouble sha

Me: Almost..so, i don’t want to be in that same mess today as i don’t know uhmmm…uhmmmm….before someone will park me now and nobody to rescue me

Mary: lolzzz….you are not serious…thank God we are just the only one in the car and u know where u met me from

Me: that swat has been keeping me going to continue this conversation or else, i wouldn’t even say anything till we depart

Mary: but truth is, you men are the same thing once you see something in skirt or trouser, u wont even bother to ask for the owner before taking it……..

Me: thank God u said Men….well am not a men sha

Mary: Then wat are you

Me: Am snakie…………………….

Mary: Are you not a man……?

Me: Not yet…am a guy (snakie) and not Man…datz why am different from every other person…..

Mary: datz a lie jhoor………

Me: but sincerely..all of us are thieves but its only who is caught that is the real thief

Mary: thank God u admit that…….that is wat some guys will never admit to

Me: datz why i said am different from other guys….i will never lie to any lady because i want to get in between her legs……like if as am meeting u for the first time now, if am asking u out, its probably impossible for me not to have who am dating….so, why should i lie? But some ladies are idiot..a guy will approach you and tell you he doesn’t have a girlfriend and you will just admit

Mary: not all girls though….

Me: so, you are claiming you are also different

Mary: yes now…..

Me: ohk ooo….My philosophy is that, if am meeting a lady like you for the first time, i don’t expect u to tell me you don’t have who u are dating……….it may either be you are not serious wit the guy or u just broke up but to tell me u don’t have anyone is a no no for me at all

Mary: why will a grown up lady like me wont have who am dating…..

Me: yes now….its some ladies but do u know life is like a competition

Mary: How?

Me: the same way you are competing with thousands of people to get a job u av been applying for is the same way i will be competing with which ever guy you have that you are dating…its the person that you ended up with that is the winner…just like the person that finally got the job will be the winner in the job recruitment process…..

Mary: thats true sha…….

Me: more reason why i wouldn’t mind competing with the guy in your life

Mary: what do u mean?

Me: what i mean is that a beauty like u its worth fighting for…you are wat every guy should be competing for…….

Mary: abeg, don’t compete for me oooooo…….Go and compete for your wife abeg

Me: wife ke? I don’t think i ever mention it that am married but i wont deny the fact that i have a fiancée

Mary: then you are ready to loose the trust your fiancée have i you?

Me: I don’t think am losing any trust as we never know what might happen in life

Mary: uhmmmmm…..

Me: thats the truth…we are all just trying, like i said, life its all about competition.

Mary: abeg, lets talk about another thing jare…..this traffic is killing wallahi

Me: Am even tired…we have spent close to 45mins on the same spot and we are not sure yet when we will be out….

Mary: I guess the traffic is from Egbeda…

Me: It dare not be from Egbeda……we are just at Isheri now…..

Mary: yes…
