Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 6
Another chapter of life began in school,it doesn’t seems to look like it was expected,I walk alone ,stay alone and loneliness became my daily routine , could it be because i am a fresher or what,I don’t even understand,I think I need hostel mate if not mates but atleast let it no be only me ,I thought of how to get one then boom,a thought strikes ,I took my phone and dialled the agent that help me got my apartment number
Phone conversation
Me:hello agent
Agent:hi lady
Me:I think I need a roomie
Agent:ohh Good,there are two ladies also , who needs an apartment,I think I should just come show them your place
Me:Good ,how soon are they coming
Agent:hmm,I think next week
Me:Okay sir,I would be expecting you
Conversation ended
I really can’t wait to have those ladies here(roomie), school activities are going on well normally while I was also attending classes
One Saturday morning, since there was no class,I decided to use the medium to clean the room,washed my clothes and arrange the necessary things
It took me many hours to finish the house chores,I was done ,so I decided to take my bath due to stress and I heard a knock on my door ,
Who is it,I said as I moved towards the door post to open it,I saw the agent and the ladies,I stare at the ladies,they seems likely to be twins cause this identification is nothing to compare with ,they look identical,evei their faces looks familiar ,I stare at them for minutes and there was a perfect silent before the agent broke the silence
Agent:Ayo right?
Me:yes
Agent:these are the twins I told you they would be coming today ,you now have a neighbor, roommate rather
Ehn ehn,I know if they were not twins,they shouldn’t look this identical but seems I know them somewhere ,I think I will discussed it with them for proper clearance
Agent:hey
Me : oh sorry, welcome twins
I happily welcomed the twins and helped one of which to carry their bags , of course am happy ,at least I won’t be the only one again,the agent departed our hostel and I locked the gate ,I happily arranged the twins luggage where it should be and layer sat on the bed for proper introduction
Me:oh yes
“You are a nice girl” one of them said
Me: smile…
I think we need to do intro..
Phone rings
Me: hello
Mum:hello Arike mi

Me:ma
Mum:mo koni kin kiee ni(I just say I should greet you)
Me:ma pe yin pada lale(I will call you back in the night)
Mum:okay okomi(okay my dear)
Me:back to what we were saying,pls who among you is kehinde
.one of them identify by raising her hand,now I know who kehinde is ,I moved closer to her to examine her very well,nice one ,I can spot tbe difference,there is a birth mark around kehinde’s ear while taye’s ear is plain,l.e no mark
Taye:I guess you should know am taye
Me:of course ,but have you guys seen me before
Kehinde:noo
Me:but seems we’ve met before
Taye:where,
Me:I can’t remember
Well ,I think I should leave you guys for now been the fact that you are just coming,stress and all that ,you need to rest ,but how about getting bath ,to reduce stress
Taye:that will do
Me:okay ,good ,let me show you the bathroom,I said as I stood up
.we headed to the bathroom and left her there ,she took nothing less than 10 minutes before coming out ,then her second also went and came out faster than the previous one ,it’s my turn to bath,of course,have wanted to bath before they came in
Am still trying to figure out where I know them, we’ve met before,I know what am talking about ,but I have retentive memory,how come I did not remember where I met them
I took my bath and came out of the bathroom,I already met the twin dressed and sitting on the bed
I also got myself dressed and slept on the bed after ,I took my phone and dialled my mum’s number
Phone conversation
Me: hello moimi
