Episode 1

Read: the unexpected love SEASON 1

Her room was dark and quiet, but she could hear her mother preparing breakfast in the kitchen when she woke up. She quickly turned on the light and everywhere became bright. She wore only a p-nt which had different colours without a b-ra to support the slightly fallen br-ast. One could see her n-pples stood er-ct feeling the coldness of the morning and her fairy hair down her abdomen. Her name is Melody Smith. The books on the table reminded her that it was a day she had been preparing for, a day which she had waited for and a day she kept special for the dream she had that night. She quickly rushed into the bathroom without thinking twice and began to take her barth. She sang a melodious christian song as she had her body w-t with soupy water. But she suddenly stopped and stared at the wall. “I have never dreamt of a man in my life, but here i was last night dreaming of a man i don’t even know. This is weird” she concluded in thought and continued. Few minutes later, she rushed out to see her mother dressing the dining table.
“Good morning, Mummy” she greated and the mother looked at her. She was impressed to see her ready for school.
“Sit down my daughter” she said. “The God who gave me money to register you on this waec examination will make you pass in Jesus name!”
“Amen, Thank you Mummy”
“Welcome. Just take your breakfast”
After a while, Melody entered the road to her school without any bag but with a Mathematical set. One could see the shape of her underwears clearly and looking very attractive from behind. She hurried into the school compound but couldn’t believe her eyes. The school was as quiet as a grave yard. Nobody was there, then she became surprise and wondered what was happening. It was a clear description of her dream. “God, am i still dreaming?” she thought and slowed down. She narrowed her vision and saw a boy in uniform but his face wasn’t clear. “I saw this same thing in my dream. What is going on?” she thought again and became scared.
“Hi” a female voice startled her from behind then she turned sharply and breathing heavily.
“Thank Goodness you are here!” she said.
“Why are you so frightened?” Calista asked her.
“Can you imaging nobody is in school”
“What did you expect? School in on vocation”
“But at least waec candidates should be here by now”
“But look at a waec candidate there” Calista pointed at the boy standing at a distance.
“Do you know him?” Melody asked.
“We shall know when we get there. Let’s go”
The boy stood in front of SS3A with his two hands in his pockets looking handsome. He barbed his hair in a fashionable style and had dimples which was only visible when he smiles. He had a chocolate complexion with a pair of shoes on his feet. He turned to Melody and Calista when they came around.
“Hi, Good morning” he greeted.
“Good morning” they responded and glanced at him. He face wasn’t familiar which made them wondered who he was. Melody could see how he stared at her, then she withdrew her face looking at other side.
“I guess you also came for the exam” the boy said aloud.
“Yes, and who are you?” Calista asked.
“I’m an external candidate. My name is Edwin Goodness” he stepped down.
“Oh, welcome and I’m Calista Jacob”
“Nice to meet you” they shook hands, yet Melody looked uninterested to their introduction.
“Ehnm.. Hello” Edwin call her attention before she turned and looked at his handsome face. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine” Melody gave a weak smiled.
“May i know your name too?”
“I’m Melody Smith”
“That’s a pretty name”
“Thank you”
Just at that moment, candidates began to arrive. They saw Mr Anuma’s car from a distance and also saw Esther looking beautiful.
“Hey, Mrs Chester!” they exclaimed and ran towards her then eventually hugged her at the very sight of Edwin.
“Come, this girls, is too early for this hug and jokes. Which one is Mrs Chester again?” Esther asked smiling.
“Are you not Mrs Chester?” Calista asked.
“She cannot deny it” Melody added.
“Crazy girls!” Esther smiled and they began to move into the hall. Melody could see Edwin still staring at her as they were moving, then she became nervous and neglected him.
Few minutes later, the hall was populated with students and the day was brighter than before. Chester and Wisdom had come but were with Mr Anuma who gave them an instruction before they went into the hall at the same time.
“S.P!!” some students shouted and Wisdom began to smile. Chester gradually left the floor for him and sat beside Esther who smiled at him broadly.
“Good morning, handsome” she greeted.
“Handsome?”
“Yes, that’s your new name”
“Wow, thank you”
“Welcome”
“I hope you prepared very well for this exam”
“Of course, yes” Esther replied. She crossed her hand on his arms and placed her head on his shoulder.
“Good morning my fellow students!” Wisdom began.
“Good morning, S.P!” students responded.
Before he continued, Jennifer slowly walked in and everybody stared at her…
A total silence took over the examination hall when Jennifer entered, then external candidates wondered who she was and why the sudden quietness. Wisdom expected her to greet or take permission before entering but she didn’t, rather she walked quietly to a lonely seat feeling less ashamed. Calista and Melody stared at her while Esther and Chester also looked her but they couldn’t stop smiling!
“The examination will commence very soon” Wisdom continued. “According to Mr Anuma, external candidates should be aware that there will be no malpractice and if any implication is found among any of us, the victim will be penalized..”
As Wisdom spoke with all boldness and intelligence, Jennifer couldn’t stop staring at him remembering all she passed through in his hands and that of Tochi, then she exhaled deeply and bent down her face on the locker. Esther pitied her when she saw her and glanced at Chester.
“I feel so pity for her” she told him.
“That means you have a good heart and my children will be pampered a lot for any little thing even when they are wrong” Chester replied.
“What does that mean? And what children are you talking about?”
“Our children”
“Come on, you silly boy” Esther hit him gently on the shoulder and grabbed his arms again smiling. “But you are heartless oh” she added.
“Why saying that?”
“Why can’t you pity somebody?”
“You mean Jennifer?”
“Yes”
“Why should i pity her?”
“Abeg go, you men are heartless joor” Esther concluded and Chester smiled at her words.
Suddenly Mr Anuma entered with the examiner and the students greeted with their feet up.
“This examination shouldn’t be ponderous otherwise you will suffer from rheumatoidarthritis” Mr Anuma began with a hand in his pocket. Just then, some students who knew him began to giggle at his grammar. Even Edwin smiled hearing the unfamiliar words, so he folded his arms and adjusted in his seat ready to hear more of them. Melody turned immediately and their eyes caught together but she withdrew her face instantly.
Mr Anuma continued, “The green horns here who are unaware of the substantial value this school has across the state should please, behave themselves in other not to bring it down substantially with criminal behaviours. Understood?!”
“Yes, sir!” the students Chorused and Mr Anuma’s eyes caught with Jennifer’s.
“Mbakwe!” he called moving closer to her. “Welcome back. I hope you prepared very well for this exam”
“Yes, sir” she replied with a low voice without smiling or looking at him. Mr Anuma stared at her for a while and ignored her.
Few minutes later, the exam began. Everywhere was quiet and calmed as the students made use of their pen and brain looking very serious. Only the footsteps of Mr Anuma and the examiner were head. Melody turned occasionally to take a look at Edwin who was writing as fast as possible, then she wondered how intelligent he would be.

Tochi laid on her bed imaging how successful the term ended and what Wisdom was actually doing at the moment. She took a thought back to the quiz day and smiled…

FLASH BACK
SS2 students rejoiced round the school with Tochi at the front for few minutes after school dismissed then Esther, Melody and Calista cornered her and hugged her happily.
“Now i know the type of job Wisdom was doing with you” Esther told Tochi.
“Yes oh, he really did a great job!” Melody added.
“Hmm, I’m so happy for you oh!” Calista hugged her again and collected the price from her. Suddenly Wisdom came around.
“The job dealer is here” Esther said. “Please, let’s give them some privacy” she added before they left.
Wisdom and Tochi stared at each other for a while glowing with smiles. Before Wisdom could say anything, Tochi hugged him without minding the presence of anybody.
“Thank you very much” she said and disengaged herself immediately.
“I’m so proud of you” Wisdom began. “You can even do better next time in your SS3”
“But you won’t be around by then” she became sad.
Wisdom held her on the shoulder with his two hands looking into her eyes. “I might not be around but always remember that I’m with you” he said.
“Will i ever see you again?”
“Of course you will, where am i going…?”
:
CONTINUITY FROM TOCHI ON THE BED.
Tochi smiled and glanced at the table by the corner full of books, then she remembered Wisdom again. “Will it ever be like this?” she began to think. “What if he enters university and forget me? Probably he will meet girls more beautiful and intelligent than me, then he will just forget me” she became sad and walked out wearing a short white jean skirt.

The examination lasted for two hours. Student went outside the hall to wait for the second paper but Jennifer remained in,side folding her question paper gradually. She slightly turned when she heard Calista and Melody’s voices who said, “Hi, Jennifer”. She didn’t respond to them rather stared at her locker.
“I’m sorry, my parents prevented me from seeing you” Calista began..
