“you can’t guess what happened to me on my way back from church early today?” Amara said with a smile, breaking me away from my thoughts. she knew i was very depressed and really was finding a way to cheer me up.

“what happened?” i asked unseriously.
‘A boy walked up to me,
“hello dear how was church service?”, he asked.

“Fine oo”, i replied with a straight face.
“I have been admiring you for a while. I do come out to my balcony each morning as you leave for lectures just to catch a glimpse of you”. He said to me. My dear, i almost busted in laughter oo, see toasting nau. Amara narrated, clapped and laughed. I smiled and listened attentively, curious to know the end of her story.

“Which level You dey?” the silly boy asked me,

“i still dey my first year” i lied. You needed to see how he licked his lips my sister. His next comment almost made me slap him. “I’m in 200 level, Microbiology, hope we can be friends?, i will be happy to have your phone number?” he asked me. Chie i bit my lips and eyed him. Imagine 200 level boy toasting me on a sunday, i don suffer. she shook her head, while i continued my laugher.

‘I was still controlling my anger when he held my right hand as if we were mates, trust me. I slapped s--t out of that hand, imagine small boy toasting his aunty” she sighed, feigning anger. I laughed heartily,
“free the boy jare, it’s a free world” i joked.

“So you can still laugh like this?” she smiled and shook her head.

I left her room, two hours later, smiling and a bit relieved. I really was glad to have gone there. I slept without thinking of Mike.
Early the next day, Amara came over to my room fully dressed and ready for lectures. I hurriedly prepared and together we left for school.

“are you still worried about Mike?” she asked after a while. I sighed and said nothing.
“my dear this is the right time to move on with your life. Your destiny isn’t with him, I think you should grab the second chance life is granting you with Chike, moreover he is better and more trustworthy than Mike. Please don’t blow away this opportunity, it may not come again. Chike will soon be travelling” Amara pleaded seriously.

“but i feel nothing for him, seriously i like him as a friend and nothing more” i protested,

“don’t talk like that dear. You feel nothing for him because you havn’t opened up your heart or given it the opportunity. Think about it, you can get many Mikes out there but you can’t get a rich, intelligent unhooked young guy like Chike easily. He will be picking us after lectures, please don’t act coy with him again. I beg of you” she begged seriously. I breathed deeply as i weighed her advice.
“Is she right? Can i get to forget Mike with Chike?” how do i open my heart?” i wondered deeply. I was unable to concentrate on my lectures that fateful monday. Just like she told me, Chike showed up by 2pm to pick us. I felt nervous as i entered his car.

“Lord help me” I prayed.
