love story of a
very lovely and
graceful lady
whom I have,for
the first time,
seen in this real
world,later
visualizedin my
own creative
world and now
dreaming about
in my imaginary
world.. Although
I have a very
vital role to play in this fascinating true love story,it
however has very little to do with the main story..All
in all, this amazing true love story revolves entirely
around this most beautiful lady alone and I,as her
beloved admirer,may at the most say "she's the
most beautiful and the most graceful lady I have ever
come across in my life.."
With a mind conquering grace and a more
captivating enigmatic smile,this amazing lovely lady
is still there,vivid and active,in my memory today
and shall remain to be there forever..AMEN
I very strongly feel that the people around this lovely
world also know about this lovely graceful lady,who
did everything in her life to express herself and
waged a lonely battle against…and finally and finally
and finally..
Finally what..????
I was shocked and felt numb when I came to know
"what it finally was",when a man from America met
me suddenly in a cinema theater in lagos and
told me everything about this lovely graceful
lady,whom I have last seen or heard about twenty
seven years ago but whom I shall keep adoring,for
just what she is,all through my life until God himself
decides to fall in love with me… ..
But whatever "that finally is or was.."
Am Still Waiting For This Lovely Lady
Still after twenty seven years..Still with my eyes wide
open and.. Still with a bouquet in My hands and..Still
with the same smile and…Still with my heart almost
going breathless with every passing day…
AM STILL WAITING FOR THIS LADY..
Waiting to convey her that..That..That..That..That
PERIOD.
Federal University of ibadan in Nigeria,is a
picturesque location spread over 1600 acres(6kms)
of very vast green lands..With beautifully laid out
black top roads and with green Black Berry trees on
both their sides,Federal University ibadan is one of the
oldest modern universities in Nigeria and is a must
watch not only for every student but also for every
lover of Nature..
With the exception of an occasional city bus here and
there,even today,one will not find much of a traffic
moving on the lovely roads of this more lovely
Ibadan University.
My friend,if this is the scenario today,you can
imagine how beautiful this university was twenty
seven years ago…
It was just spectacular..
Just the more serene and
just the more peaceful
than what it's today..And
in this most beautiful
university lies a very
simple looking city bus
stop located under a huge
Black Berry tree..Since
this bus stop lies just in
front of the,FUI ladies
hostel,it's more popularly
known as the ladies hostel
bus stop today..Though no one knows when this bus
stop was actually erected here,it's still there today
but in a slightly dilapidated condition…
Twenty seven years ago..
On a quite day..
It was in this lonely bus stop that I have,for the first
time,seen the most beautiful and the most graceful
lady of my life…
This whole story is about this graceful lady and this
graceful lady alone…
Please go through to know how this true love
story has actually begun..
I was a student of graduation those days and used to
board a local bus to my Sharon college,everyday,in
this ladies hostel bus stop..My college is a hundred
and twenty eight year old college and it was and it
still is one of the most popular and highly celebrated
Nigeria colleges today..
As a student of Sharon College,life in those days,for
me,was as naughty as it ought to be and as exciting
as it's always been for every student of this
prestigious college..
I was always on a song those days with so much to
do in so little a time..
During one such happy days..
It was a lazy Sunny morning in the month of August..
It was around 9 a m and I,as usual,was very late to
my college that day..
Normally at that time of the day only me and my
friend used to hang around there in that bus stop
with literally no one else around…Sitting in the bus
stop and waiting for the bus,singing old school songs
loudly,was our daily routine there..
And on that day too…
Both me and my friend were waiting for our bus..
In a chorus,both of us were very loudly singing a very
popular old school song "Good bye Teachers,Good bye Friends.."..We know,at least I know,pretty well that
our singing was very loud and unbearable but I was
dead sure that there's no one around,to hear and
judge our singing..So no problem..As die hard fans of
Nihgeria film music,both me and my friend were
enjoying every bit of the song and every bit of
our,whatever,the style of singing..
Though all the listeners of my singing often say that
am a bearable singer, however,no one says the same
thing about my friend who,unfortunately is blessed
with an unbearable,unmentionable,unimaginable
and unpardonable singing voice..
But I still used to bear with my friend and his mood
shattering voice.. Wanna know why..??..Coz,those
days,he's my sweet cinema ticket bearer,food bill
bearer,tea bill bearer and finally my Beer bill bearer
too.. Period..
While still
singing,I very
casually turned
my head and
looked into the
direction of the
bus we were
waiting for.. My
singing abruptly
stopped as
I didn't find the
bus coming but
found a very
beautiful young
lady coming
slowly towards the bus stop..She was wearing a Red
color Gown and
even from a reasonably good distance, gave me an
impression that "she's an extremely gorgeous
lady..".. As I was curiously watching her coming,she
slowly walked towards the bus stop and settled
comfortably there in a vacant cement sofa..
At that time,I was casually sitting on the iron bar
that's there on the front side of the bus stop and my
friend was standing diagonally opposite to me..To
say the least,both of us were stunned by her beauty
and were left dumb for a long time..
After a few more minutes of some exhilarating
moments..
My bus came..
I looked at my friend..He understood..And we let the
bus go..Another came and we did the same..
I was curious to know which bus will she be boarding
and which college will she be going to..I tried to look
at her but she was busy waiting for the bus..
Me,my friend and Ms. Gorgeous..Only three of us
were there in the bus stop at that moment..There
was a deafening silence all around..I have stopped
breathing long time ago as I was eagerly waiting and
waiting and just waiting to know which
bus,damned,she's going to board..
After a few more minutes of breathless waiting,her
bus came and stopped slowly,right in front of us in
the bus stop..
She very elegantly got up from the cement sofa she
was thus far decorating and walked slowly towards
the front door of the bus and,as everyone in the bus
were curiously watching her,she very quietly boarded
the bus..The lucky bus..
Looking at her boarding the bus,we just remained
stagnant in the bus stop for a few blank moments…
Suddenly I regained my senses and tried to move
and thought I have already moved and was almost
moving towards the back door of the bus to get
quickly into it…Before me and my friend could realize
what the hell was happening,the lucky bus carrying
the lovely young lady left us and left the bus stop
immediately ..
Ohhhhhhhhhhh..Damned..A big
FFFFFFFFFFFFF..
I was shocked and mouth fully cursed my friend for
not advising me to catch that bus immediately..What
followed later from me was a steamy flow of
words,am sure,you will never find in any dictionary..
Hehhhhh..I cursed myself..Kicked the edge of the bus
stop and did much more things with frustration,but
none of those acts of my dissent could really pacify
me a bit..
After a few more
moments of
fretting,fuming and
severe self
condemnation,I have
finally realized that
there's no point in
breaking my head and no
point in cursing my poor
friend too..However,at the
same time,several uneasy
questions crowded my
mind .."Who's she ..What is she studying..????
Which college.. ?? Did she come here only today..??
Or is she going to come everyday..??????..And if she
is a regular,how come I have missed her earlier..Will
she come again tomorrow..???????.."
Damned-who will answer these questions..???
"God..pleaseee..please appear before me for a
minute and answer these very tough questions..I
very badly need your help..O my dear nice
God,please understand my pain.."
I was very desperate…Not because I have not seen
more gorgeous girls before that,but because no one
shook me so r..o..m..a..n..t..i..c..a..l..l..y..
What to do..???? May be that's love at first sight..
(At a matured age,I may laugh at at this silly
statement today but I know I was right at that tender
age )
After that I was in no mood to go to the college that
day…I was full of irritation and I know pretty well that
I should do something immediately to come out of
that irritable state..I first checked my friend's
pocket ..Found thirty Naira.. Later,checked mine…
Found twenty..
