could hardly see someone on a close range. It was as

if

it will be rainy in any moment though, the weather was

enjoyable

as it keep producing alot of breeze. Uniport students

were

seen hanging around the school premesis. Some were

in

the company of their lovers while some were just

interacting

and laughing with their friends. Daniel being in yellow

top

and black trouser came out from the H.O.D’s office

walking

down to his car. His eyes was so focus on the paper

he

was holding that he didn’t know when he bumped into

a

girl making her books to fall on the ground. Due to

vibration

of fear, she almost lost her balance. She stare at her

books

for a while and adjusted downward to pick it up.

Daniel

also went down to pick them up for her.

“It’s

ok” Ella said but Daniel paid deaf ears- still picking the

books up.

“Leave it.

leave it” Ella said again. But Daniel continued picking

it

up until his eyes left the books and went to Ella. He

was

shocked when he realized who he bump into. the girl

he has

dreamt of making his wife eversince he set his eyes

on

her at the supermarket. He was just staring at her

continuously.

FLASHBACK

Ella came out from the supper market and went to the

road side,

waiting for a cab. Minutes later, after a while of standing

by

the road, she saw a cab coming to her direction. She

wave

at It until It slowly stopped beside her. She went in and

close

the door. Just then, Daniel ride in to the supper market.

He

quicky came out from his car rushing to meet Ella. But

it

was late already. The cab has already moved.

Back To Reality.

Daniel have stopped picking up the books. He was busy

staring

at Ella and lost in his own fantasy.

“I

have seen you before” Daniel said. Ella adjusted upright

holding

her note books. She took a glance at Daniel for the first

time.

“I’m sorry. I have not seen you before” She responded

and

started walking to her department alongside with Jennifer her

friend

who was mute all those while. Daniel was dumbstruck. He

can’t

imagine himself falling for a girl who don’t even know him. Ever since

he

set his eyes on Ella, he haven’t been himself. He can’t help

but

to fall in love with her everyday. He have dreamt of making her

his better

half but it seems it won’t come to Reality; even at that, he never

wanted

to give up. He felt there’s hope. He was just watching Ella’s figure

Daniel drove his car and parked it beneath a mango tree in Ella’s

compound.

He came down from his car, exposing the bunch of keys on his

hand

which added to his handsomeness. He walked to the door,

and

stood like a solider contemplating if to knock or not. After standing for

some

minutes, He summoned courage and knocked. He put his two

hands

in his pocket looking around the environment. Ella opened the

door

and came out. She was shocked to see Daniel. She wondered

what

he want from her and how he managed to locate where she live.

“Hi” Daniel greeted with a smile.

“What do you want?” Ella asked with a frown face.

The

smile on Daniel’s face vanished.

“Who told you I stay here? what do you want?” she asked further

and daniel smile.

“it’s too many for me to answer at once” daniel responded.

“What

do you want from me?” Ella asked again raising her voice.

“Ok, to

start with. My name is Daniel and” He was interrupted by Ella.

“cut

the whole details. What do you want? How do you know I live

here?” She

asked looking around to check if someone came with Him. but, she didn’t see anyone. She was

“To

be sincere with you.ok, I saw you on an Okada, and I followed you

all

the way to this point” Daniel Explained.

“Followed me?” Ella

asked still don’t know why he did that.

“I’m sorry ok.

responded calmly.

“Ok. so, you’re one of those cult guys right? I knew it from the first

time

I saw you, that there was something strange about you.

I don’t want any problem. Please I don’t want any trouble” She

begged.

Daniel was just laughing coz it seems funny to him.

“You

have a very wrong inspiration about me you know?” Daniel

said laughing.

“Please give me the right inspiration” She responded flying her

hands.

“Ok. what if I say that, from the very first day I set my eyes on

you,

I fell in love with you. Will that make me a cultist? mine being

a

gentle man to help you pick up your books when it fell off,

will

that make me a cultist?. what if I say to you that I have longed and

wish

to spend my whole life with you, will that make me a cultist?” Daniel

asked.

Ella was just looking at him dumbfounded.

“I

can see that you have gone really really crazy. I will advice you

to

leave now before I call the police” Ella said.

“I’m

damn serious. I’m serious” Daniel responded.

“Ok Ok fine.

“Eeh em mm” Daniel

saw

himself stammering. Before he could find a word to say, she has

already
