EPISODE 9
After relaxing in my office for a while, i invited the girls
inside and curiously stared at them.
“good morning sir” they all greeted.
“yea what can i do for you?” i asked with a serious
smile.
“we came to introduce ourselves because we believe
you don’t know us” one of them replied while i nodded
in approval.
“actually we are students of this great department but
we graduated last year. Unfortunately the old man you
just replaced failed us in his course, forcing us to
spend an extra year over it” she summarized with a
pleading look.
“OK i now understand because your faces really look
very unfamiliar” i said with a soft smile which lit up
their faces. They all stared at me hopefully.
“please don’t let us spend another extra year over the
course. We wrote the exam and tried our best in it, but
we unfortunately missed writing the text because we
never got any information about it” she murmured in
form of an appeal. I breathed deeply and nodded.
“write down your names on a paper, I’ll see what i can
do” i offered like a good man. They all breathed deeply
with excitement.
“thank you sir” they chorused while i smiled over the
way they kept calling me sir. Of course two of the girls
really looked a bit older than I.
They wrote down their names on the paper, dropped it
on my table and left happily, but as i made to take a
look at the paper, one of the girls showed up again.
“i really forgot to invite to my parents marriage
anniversary which is coming up on Sunday” she said,
presenting a small invitation card to me. I collected it
and read curiously. The names on the card slowly hit
my face like a hot slap.
“don’t tell me your father is a former senator?” i asked
with disbelief.
“yea i’m his last child” she replied, while a million
questions hit my head.
“what the hell is she doing, studying in Nigeria. The
old man i just replaced really had some balls to fail
this girl. d--n” i breathed as i weighed the girl before
me.
“i hope you are coming?, some senior lecturers
including the vice chancellor will be there. Take
advantage of this invitation. You are a nice man sir”
she smiled and left. My face instantly coloured with
excitement.
Just like every young man, I was very ambitious, but i
equally realised that the more ambitious i got, the
more corrupt i became. The invitation really was
irresistible but somehow i was very scared over my
intentions and the direction i was slowly heading.
I was still battling with my mind when Comfort walked
into my office with a warm smile on her face. I
instantly recoiled with guilt.
“what do you want?” i asked coldly.
“relax sir” she replied, drew close and sat on an empty
chair across my table…..
The d--n girl was now like a silly noisy mosquitoe i
couldn’t kill..
