The Series Of My Life - Season 2 - Episode 23

Where do we stop
Maria came to my hotel alone at a few
minutes past 7pm.

She came on a sexy outfit which underlined
the fact that she enjoyed the intimacy with
me.

Some things were just supposed to be known
without asking questions.

” Hello sweet, how was your day” she
asked as soon as she packed her car and
came out of it.

Damn! I had become sweet so fast.
”My day was great, how was yours Maria”
I asked for the sake of asking.

Someone who just returned from a music
lesson could not have had a bad day,
especially not in an African’s view.
” Good, my day was good” she said while
smiling.

Maria was so fluent in English, she really
liked America. I had asked her how much
English she knew and she had replied ”a
little”. Her little was apparently ” very
good”.

”Have you found how much money it would
cost to go to America” she asked.
Damn! She had come here to talk about
America again.

”Yes, I also called my Father and he was
excited when I told him that I had found a
wife in Slovakia” I said.
Maria laughed out loud.

We were already at the hotel reception paying
for another two nights.

As soon as we got to the room, my German
phone started ringing. It was an unknown
number. I figured it would be Jennifer. She
was the only person that called with such
number.

I didn’t answer the call. The problem was
that Jennifer didn’t speak Igbo. I didn’t
speak Edo language either. We only
communicated in English or Pidgin English,
Either of them could cause problem for me if
I had answered the call. I ignored it.
”Your cell phone is ringing” Maria said.
” I know, it is my Friend. The one you saw
at the Chinese restaurant. He had left for
Germany without me. I had to stay back to
help you get invitation letter and ticket to
America” I lied.

”Oh my God” she said while hugging me.
” you are such a nice person” she said.
How could Maria not have heard about 419,
Nigeria, Yahoo Yahoo etc.?

She had just gotten involved with a citizen of
the wisest country in Africa and she had to
pay the price for what his ancestors did to we
Africans during slavery and colonization.

Yea, justification. One of the reasons why I
committed some crimes was that I always had
a justification clause perched somewhere in all my thoughts.

Scamming, that was going to be my next line
of actions. After Scamming, I was going to
also look for fake currency racket. Since I
had become a drug dealer, which made me a
criminal, there was no need to spare other
crimes. The only one I was never going to do
was robbery.

”Tickets to Texas costs €1,659 with
Lufthansa, €1,809 with KLM and €1,789
with Air France” I quoted off head.
The western world had a way of adding ‘9’
at the prices of everything, therefore I added
‘9’ too to make it convincing enough.

If I had to be convincing, I had to show
some high level of intelligence and brilliance.
*Sometimes, I see some letters sent to my
facebook inbox and wondered how those people hoped to convince people to part with their money. Some of them even misspell short words such as ‘who’ or ‘what’*
”Lufthansa stops at New York, Atlanta
Georgia before going to Houston Texas. KLM
stops at New Jessey, South Carolina before
going to Houston Texas while Air France
Stops at Boston, North Carolina and Texas”
I continued.

I had no idea whether those airlines stopped
in those states before going to Texas but one
thing I was sure was that almost every flight
from Europe passed through New York, New
Jessey and Boston before going anywhere.
Secondly flights going to Texas from East side
of the USA had to head towards the direction
of North and South Carolina, West Virginia,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Tennessee
and other states in the South East USA
Reading maps all the time helped me to know
almost every corner of the planet.

I could easily point on any city and country in
a non-labelled map. Aside Reading Novels,
my second greatest hobby was reading maps.
”But those airlines you mentioned never come to Bratislava airport, I have been to Portugal and Turkey before but I didn’t find any Air France or KLM here” Maria said.
”I don’t know but you can travel to France
or Germany and take off from there” I said.
I knew that those major European flag carriers
such as KLM didn’t go to Slovakia, they
even hardly go to Eastern Europe not to talk
of a small city like Bratislava.

Those small European countries were served by small airlines such as Austrian air, Air
Scandinavia, air Berlin, easy jet and ryan
air.

”Tomorrow, we will ask my dad to send the
letter to the American Embassy, then you will
get a ticket and take it there for approval and
Visa” I said as I hold her waist line and
pushed her towards me. It was time to cheat
on Jennifer once more.
