Two Worlds - Season 1 - Episode 11

“Are you hungry?”
She weighed her tummy. Though full, one snack wouldn’t make it burst. “One doesn’t eat only when hungry.”
“Wait till we’re done. If there is time left, we might eat something.” He peered at a white storey building, behind a statue of a student holding a book and a pen, with eyes glued to the book. “Let’s go into the library?”


Before she could reply, he had parked his car under an orange tree that refused to produce fruit, and she remembered the sermon the priest gave last Sunday of the unfruitful fig tree, and how Jesus cursed it to wither. A sudden impulse to curse the orange tree breezed through her.
“Is the library what we came here for?” She smirked.
“This is part of the tour. You need to see your field-related books.”
What a cheat. No to checking out the café, and yes to the library. They stepped out of the Toyota.
The scavengers roaming about wouldn’t take their eyes off her, as though they had never seen a white girl. She maintained pace with Jide, so he could block the gazes coming from left, but they still peered. Some boys at the far end pointed. Jide would have better parked his Toyota close to the building.
