Donigspain - S01 E20

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 20

Next week soon arrived and true

to Anita’s claims the beautiful

damsel joined our school. I

noticed a rush by many who

wanted her attention, students

and teachers alike, so I simply

kept my cool. I totally avoided

giving off any such signals that

will give her a clue as to my

interest. Am very much good in

playing the ‘patient dog.’ I don’t

subscribe to the saying that ‘the

earliest animal to a stream takes

the purest drink.’ Sometimes, the

earliest animal is always caught

in the hunter’s trap which might

have been set the previous night.

I prefer patience than to join in

‘initial gra gra.’

Albeit my undercover status I still

made sure I got the latest

information on how she turned

her ‘chikers’ down. First to be

turned down was Darlington,

followed by one sir John who

assisted me in teaching

Economics, then came Emmanuel

(an SS3 student) and et al. My

heart grew more fond of her

with each rejection she gave to

the stream of ‘chikers’ that came

her way.

Days turned to weeks, weeks

into months and I was yet to

make my intentions known to

her. I kept my intentions from

her partly because I resolved not

to have any intimate relationship

with any student under my

tutorship and partly because I

was employing the ‘patient dog’

strategy. Anyways, I think the

former takes upper hand. My

JAMB results soon came out and I

was happy to see my score as

253 (first sitting and

‘unassisted’). I bought ESUT post-

ume form, filled, submitted and

finally sat for the exam with high

hopes.

I was at home one tuesday

evening when my phone rang. I

made to answer it but it went

disconnected. I checked the

screen and saw it was ‘Pius ESUT’

that called. Pius was a guy I met

in ESUT the day I went for

enquiries before the post-ume.

He served as my eyes and ears in

ESUT admission proceeding since

I had no relatives nor friends

studying in the school. It was in

his house that I slept during the

post-ume exam.

I dashed out of the house in

order to buy recharge card from

a phone-boot stationed in front

of our house.

”Abeg, Bethel give me mtn

recharge card sharp sharp

there” I shouted as soon as I

crossed the passage door of our

compound.

”Dis wan you dey hurry, hope say

everything is alright,” Bethel

inquired while handing over the

mtn card to me.

”Nothing bad happen o. I just

wan check weda I don get

admission,” I replied her.

I quickly loaded the credit, dialled

Pius’ number and waited for the

breaking news.

“Hello Spain, your post-ume result

is out. It was pasted at the

admission block this morning.

Congrats… Welcome to Eshoot,”

he broke the good news to me.

“Yeeeaaaaaaaaa, wooooooow,

awesoooooome!!!,” I screamed

at the top of my voice.

Bethel ran out from her phone-

boot bamboozled. She asked why

I shouted to which I replied her

with the good news. She was so

happy that she involuntarily

hugged me so tight. That marked

the beginning of a relationship

that cost me a great deal.
