Finally on the last of april 2015, busola called me on
phone to announce the good news of my posting to me I gasped when I
heard where I was being posted to because it didn’t really work the way I
had wished.“hmmm at last” was all I could mutter…. And when I finally find my
voice….. I asked “where was I really posted to”… tears rolled down my
eyes I asked again “Nibo lo gbe mi lo”
“Nasarawa” she muttered quietly as if she was even scared to mention the name of that city.
“I don’t believe you” How can I be posted to that dead state even tho have not been there before.
Abeg check well jare She said “I have cross checked your name several
times and am very sure of what I saw, but you can come check yourself.I couldn’t believe my ears nor breathe very well that moment cos my heart was pounding very fast and furiously.Nasarawa!!! I exclaimed again and again in total disbelief. No it
can’t be possible , there is probably a mistake somewhere. I spent the
rest of that day with my thoughts wondering to and fro, cos I knew
NOTHING on earth would make me serve in Nasarawa. The following day, I headed towards school nervously, when I got to
school, Busola was waiting just like she promised. I was abit late…
don’t mind me cos I had always been a late comer in school then… I
smiled in appreciation as we hugged.. Then she grabbed my hand and led
me to where she saw my name. I used my second right finger to cross
check the line my name was written, but truly she wasn’t really
mistaken, I was posted to Nasarawa after all.I turned to look at her unhappily while she gave me a very weak smile cos she as well was posted to Jigawa.I was terribly heartbroken that
moment cos I knew nothing would make me undertake an adventure or risk
of serving in the North, though I know I would definitely spend that
21days there, but with Busola sitted beside me just like old times, it
seems fate was trying to play another card which I really never expected
nor bargained for. Watch out for next episode!!
