Season 2
Episode 3
 
5 MONTHS LATER
Mrs Caleb, Wisdom’s mother danced around the house with half a wrapper. As she danced, she sang a victorious song. The compound was swept neatly. One could see the mark of the broom on the ground making a curved shape.
“Truly my son is wisdom itself!” Mr Caleb came out. He wore a black trouser and a white traditional shirt with a walkingstick in his hand. “He is truly a son of his father! Who would have believed that my son will school abroad? Hey! My God is alive!” he began to walk out making use the walkingstick. He suddenly turned to his dancing wife and asked. “Where is Wisdom?”
“He has gone to see a friend” the wife replied and continued her dance. She shook her wa-ist vigorously in a brown wrapper with her face upward. “God has put my enemies to shame oh!” she shouted in conclusion.

Tochi just came back from school. She kept her bag and went to the backyard but didn’t see anyone. She wore a bumshort and a top which didn’t cover up her stomach. One could see her fresh skin body and thighs.
“Mama!” she shouted and walked in,side the kitchen but didn’t see her. Before she turned, she saw Wisdom standing at the door smiling seriously. “Wisdom?” she called and moved closer.
Wisdom came down and gave her a tight hug to her surprise.
“Guess what?” he said.
“I can’t guess, what is it?!” Tochi was curious looking into his eyes smiling.
“My waec was withheld few days ago when it officially came out but i didn’t want to tell you. Mr Anuma and i went to waec office and they told me to defend my result because i made As in all my papers which was actually the reason why it was withheld. But after i defended it, they relieved it!”
Tochi shouted in a loud voice and hugged him slightly. “You mean you got all your 9 subjects As?” she asked.
“Yes!”
“Oh God, I’m so happy for you!”
“It didn’t end there oh” Wisdom said and Tochi remained quiet to hear him out.
“Because of that, i was given a scholarsh¡p to study abroad!” Wisdom added and Tochi jumped on him with a loud shout to the extent he nearly fell…

Melody rushed back from a cyber cafe to their house with a paper. She wore a jean trouser and a fairy top. Her hair dangled around her face when she entered.
“Mummy!” she shouted.
“What is it!” the mother came out from her room.
“Mummy, i passed my exam!” she handed the paper to her.
“Hey!” Mrs Smith shouted looking at the paper. “See oh, A, C, C, B… You have done well my daughter” she hugged her. “God i thank you oh!” she concluded with her hands up.
“Mummy, can i make use of your phone?” Melody requested.
“Yes! Don’t even worry, i will buy you a phone tomorrow”
“Hey! Thank you Mummy!”
Melody took the phone into her room and dialed Edwin’s number. The number rang without response, then she became sad. She dialed it again hoping to hear someone’s voice. “Please, pick up” she murmured.
“Hello” a male voice said from the other side of the phone.
“Please, is this Edwin?”
“Yes?”
“Is Melody”
“Wow, so happy to hear from you!”
“Guess what? I made my waec!”
“Wow, Congratulations!”
“Thank you. And you?”
“Of course past my waec and jamb, trust me”
“Congratulations! Even me too”
“When can i see you?”
“We will talk about that tomorrow, by then, i have my own phone!”
“Wow, i can’t wait. Bye”
“Bye”
Melody ended the call and jumped on the bed happily.

Mrs Godwim, Esther’s mother opened the door and found Chester standing with a laptop.
“Good day, ma’am” he greeted.
“Good day, come in. You must be looking for Esther”
“Yes”
Esther came out and smiled at him. She gave him a seat and sat with him while the mother entered.
“Why are you with a laptop?” Esther asked.
“To check your result”
“Really? Have you checked yours?”
“Yes, and i passed” he replied without looking her as he put on the laptop”
“Congratulations!”
“Thanks”
Esther’s heart began to beat when Chester started the procedure. Even her mother came out when she was told what was going on. She couldn’t wait to see her daughter’s result. She could also see how Esther glanced at Chester sometimes. After few minutes, the result displayed.
“Oh my God!” Chester exclaimed.
“What is it?” Esther asked.
“You failed”
“Ehn?!” the mother stood up from her seat.
“Please, ma’am, I’m joking. She passed” Chester said with smiles showing the result to Esther and her mother who rejoiced and thanked him very much.

Tochi suddenly became sad and sat on a small stool. Of course Wisdom had an idea of her sadness so he squat down and grabbed her hands.
“I know what troubles you, i know how you feel but i assure you that no one will take your place in my heart”
Tochi remained quiet. Wisdom could see her eyes w-t with tears and her chest pumping up and down in fear.
“Wisdom, I’m afraid” Tochi said.
“You have no reason to be afraid”
“What will be my hope? Will i ever see you again? What do you expect me to do when you are finally gone?”
As Wisdom was still looking for the right response, Mrs Desmond returned…
 
Wisdom quickly stood up and Tochi dried her tears when they heard Mrs Desmond coming.
“Tochukwu!” The mother’s called from the passage.
“Yes, Mama!” she responded and met her at the door. She collected a bag from her hand and took it in,side.
“Good day Mama” Wisdom smiled.
“Good day my son” she replied and took a seat. “I heard you have graduated”
“Yes Mama, and i passed my exams”
“Is that so?! Congratulations!”
“Thank you Mama. I also gained a scholarsh¡p to study abroad which is actually the reason why I’m here to tell you”
“Hey! You mean you are going to obodo oyibo?!”
“Yes, Mama”
“Come my son, come let me bless you”
Wisdom knelt before Mrs Desmond and Tochi came out at that time watching her mother lay hands on him speaking positive words then she smiled unwillingly. Wisdom stood up after the blessing and said, “I shall be on my way now”
“You will visit us again before travelling, abi?” Mrs Desmond asked.
“Yes, i will” he replied and looked at Tochi who glanced at him without smiling.
“Tochi, i will be going now” Wisdom told her.
“Bye bye” she responded without looking at him then Wisdom left.
The mother could see her looking sad and her eyes w-t with tears again.
“Tochi, ongini?” she asked.
“Nothing, Mama” Tochi replied and began to walk in,side but her mother called her back.
“You can’t hide your feelings from me. I am your mother and i carried you for nine good months. So tell me, why are you so sad?”
“Nothing, Mama. I’m not sad”
Of course the mother knew that she was probably sad because of Wisdom’s trip to abroad but she kept quiet and never wanted to dig into it. “You may go and eat your food” she concluded.
“I’m not hungry” Tochi walked in,side her room.

# THE_FOLLOWING_D AYIN WISS.
New prefects and SS3 students emerged in Winners International Secondary Schools. Tochi was given a post as the head-girl and another student called Kingsley as the senior perfect who had also been with them from SS2. He was also intelligent but not as Wisdom. He came to school as early as 6:30am and began to monitor students. He had a flat stomach and chocolate complexion with a low-cut hair. On his wrist was a digital watch and on his feet were black fitted shoes. He sighted Tochi coming then he smiled.
“Hi, Tochi” he said.
“Good morning, Kingsley” Tochi greeted without looking at him or smiling.
“You don’t look happy. Is everything okay?”
Tochi didn’t respond to him
rather she passed and walked into her classroom which made Kingsley wonder what he had done to her.
Students began to come in large quantity including Linda who was always close to Tochi. They monitored junior students who were sweeping their various potions. Linda could see Tochi not looking happy so she asked, “Are you okay?” but she didn’t reply rather she concentrated on the junior students.
“Hey, remove those grasses” Tochi instructed the little girl.
“Which of them, senior?” the little girl asked.
“Are you blind?! Or did i make an obscurity sentence?!” she yelled at the girl and walked out angrily, then Linda became surprise of her attitude.
“What’s her problem?” she murmured and followed her. Immediately the bell rang for assembly.
*
Tochi took over the assembly looking unhappy. She monitored and sang hymns with students. As she sang, Kingsley admired her. Of course he had an idea of her relationsh¡p with Wisdom but didn’t mind. The principal came out with Mr Anuma after the national anthem. He stood before all the students and said, “Good morning students?!”
“Good morning, sir!”
“I want you to inform any of our students who took waec examination that their results are now out online. Secondly, i am happy and proud of them all. I can boldly announce to you that our former senior prefect, Caleb Wisdom made an A in all his subjects!”
Students began to clap and shout.
The principal continued, “And because of that, he has been given a scholarsh¡p to study abroad!”
“Oh Lala!” Mr Anuma exclaimed and students rejoiced except Tochi. Linda looked at her and understood why she had been very sad lately.
“So, this should be a lesson and a challenge to you all to work hærd and be studious. Understood?!” the principal concluded.
“Yes, sir!” the students replied.
Mr Anuma took over when the principal left. Immediately, a car packed at the sight of everybody. A young and beautiful girl without a uniform came out through the back door and Tochi watched Kingsley as he went to her immediately.
“Who are you please?” he asked.
“I am a new student” the girl replied smartly.
“Of which school?”
“This school”
“No, you aren’t a student of this school yet”
“Why?”
“Because you’ve not been registered”
“Well, my mum will do that now”
Kingsley turned and saw her mother then he directed them to the principal’s office.
“Good morning, students” Mr Anuma began. “Whether you are a sanatorium or top-ranking person feeling sanctimoniously, without education you are nothing!”
Students shouted..
