THE UNEXPECTED LOVE
 
EPISODE 14
 
✍️. ..
In slow motion, Wisdom walked out. He
grabbed his bag to the very sight of
Chester and went home making him believe
that things didn’t work out well. Chester
went into the classroom and Esther
embraced him in tears. His shirt was w-t
with the tears but he didn’t mind, rather he
reciprocated.
“Is okay, all shall be well” he said. After few
minutes of shedding tears in his arms,
Esther dried her tears and wanted to pick
her bag but Chester did that before her and
brought out his phone.
“Hello, can you meet me at school as soon
as possible?” he said through d phone,
then Esther wondered who he called. She
wanted 2 ask but didn’t have the strength.
Just before they walked quietly towards d
main road, a black car stopped in their
presence. The driver came out and opened
the back door.
“Enter” Chester told Esther who started at
him.
“Who’s car is this?” she asked with a low
voice.
“Is my dad’s car and this is the driver. I
called him to come and take us home
instead of trecking”
Esther remained speechless wondering why
Chester had a driver but didn’t alway come
to school with him. She glanced into the
car and Chester again, then finally entered
followed by Chester then d driver drove off.
in,side the car, Chester glanced at her
occasionally but she didn’t care to look at
him. She was actually staring through d
glass until they got 2 a few meters before
her house.
“I will like to stop here” she said, then
Chester told the driver to pull over. Esther
looked at him for the first time and said,
“Thank you very much”
“See you tomorrow” Chester replied.
She stepped down and Chester watched
her went home sadly.
*
Tochi also went home sadly wondering the
kind of thing she has put herself into. “It is
my fault?” she began to think. “How can’t i
stop this feelings and stay in peace? The
more i try the more i fall inlove with him..”
“Tochi!” the mother interrupted her before
she realised herself.
“Good afternoon, mama”
“What is it? You were totally lust in
thought”
“Nothing, mama, is just a small headache”
she walked into her room.
Few hours later, she was already missing
Wisdom and wanted to be sure if he really
accepted Esther. Her heart began to beat
when she thought of that. She set out her
table with books as usual waiting for
Wisdom to show up just to see him and get
the information from him but the time was
already 5:30pm Wisdom was nowhere to
be found. She glanced at the door
occasionally hopping to see him standing
there with a smile and looking handsome
but all was an illusion. Her mother could
see her not concentrating on the book
before her. “Tochukwu, you can go and
rest. Your teacher won’t come today” she
said.
“Mama, he will come” Tochi hopped.
“By this time?”
“Yes, he will..” her voice began to break
and eyes w-t with tears. She quickly bent
down for her mother not to notice it. Few
minutes later, she glanced at the time
again, 6:00pm, then she gathered the
books in,side with a broken heart. The
weather was already getting dark when she
went outside and stretched her head still
hoping to see him but she didn’t. She
concluded that he has accepted Esther,
then walked in,side with tears in her eyes.
She couldn’t sleep throughout the night.
*
Wisdom was also disappointed at Tochi’s
words to accept Esther. It made him think
that she didn’t love him or feel the same
way he felt which was d reason y he
refused to go for the lesson feeling
heartbroken.

THE_NEXT_MORNING
With the heavy heart, Wisdom woke up and
glanced at d clock.
“Jeez! 7:30 already?!” he exclaimed and
rushed into d bathroom with a toothbrush.
Meanwhile, Tochi had gone to school very
early as usual hoping to see Wisdom
walking around with his hands in his
pocket. But assembly was due Wisdom was
not yet in school.
As students rushed to the assembly
ground, Tochi stopped Chester and asked.
“Have you seen Wisdom?”
“No, i don’t know why he’s not in school
yet”
Tochi’s heart began to beat again.
“Oh God! What happened yesterday?” she
asked.
“Nothing much, he went home without
talking to me”
“He did?”
“Yes”
Just at that moment. Esther passed them
making her presence to be known but
didn’t say anything or even look at them.
Tochi wanted to greet her but she hesitated
when she saw that she was still angry.
The assembly began, yet Wisdom was
nowhere to be found. Jennifer and Esther
could see how Tochi stretched her head
occasionally to see if she would see him.
Even all the students got worried why
Wisdom wasn’t in school yet.
Mr Anuma came out and saw students
under a mango tree. He looked for Wisdom
but didn’t see him. “Hey, Chester!” he called
then Chester ran to him.
“Where is Wisdom?!”
“I don’t know sir”
“What nonsense!” he exclaimed and
glanced at his wrist watch. “You may go”
he told Chester.
Just at the very sight of all the students on
the assembly even Tochi, Wisdom hurried
to Mr Anuma who wasn’t looking happy..

Me Anuma put one of his hands in,side his
pocket and gared at Wisdom who stopped
before him. All the students’ attention went
to them. They knew that Mr Anuma was
angry and they expected nothing from his
mouth but grammar. So they listed very
attentively.
“Good morning sir” Wisdom greeted looking
handsome.
“Caleb” Mr Anuma began and adjusted his
eyeglass with the other hand. “I am so
aback at your resent pestilential attitude.
Why have you decided to change from
being an arboretum to a scallywag?!”
Wisdom bent down his head in shame.
Some students like tochi pitied him while
some giggled at Mr Anuma’s grammar.
Wisdom raised his head up boldly and said,
“I’m sorry sir”
“No, apology not accepted. I demand to
know the cause of this late coming that you
have deliberately succ-mbed to!”
“I woke up late, sir”
“Did you hear that?” Mr Anuma turned to
nobody. “He woke up late! A senior prefect
is telling me that he woke up late!”
“I’m sorry sir, it will never happen again”
“Thank God I’m in a good mood today. Go
and resumed your duties immediately!”
“Thank you sir” Wisdom walked out smiling
which gave Tochi a bit hope, so she smiled
too. Esther also turned and concentrated
when Wisdom was released.
The assembly went on normally without the
presence of Wisdom. Esther occasionally
glanced at Tochi. “Why has Wisdom
decided to choose her instead of me?” she
thought and hated her the most.
*
Just after assembly was over, Chester sat
alone on his locker without saying
anything. He brought out his phone
secretly and began to operate it bending
his head downward on the locker. But he
quickly hid it when a hand touched him,
then he raised his head up just to see
Melody smiling at him.
“Why are you startled?” Melody asked.
“Bcoz i was actually going against the
school rules” he replied, then Melody
looked under the locker and saw his phone
in his hand.
“Oh now i know!” she exclaimed. “I wonder
what Mr Anuma would have said about
this” she gazed at the ceiling with a finger
on her l-ips.
“He would have said..” Chester began,
“..children of this modern generation
cannot comprehend on their own again
without the help of so called technology”
“Yes!” Melody shouted and they laughed
which attracted Esther’s attention. Then
she looked at them but didn’t care. As they
kept on laughing and joking, she became
jealous, yet didn’t want to make herself
known. Suddenly, a female teacher entered
and all the class became quiet.
*
Jennifer walked to Wisdom’s locker
humbly. Her face sparkled with beauty and
her b—-t pointed outward looking s€×y.
“I’m sorry” she said.
“For what?” Wisdom asked.
“For slapping Tochi”
“I thought we have settled that already”
“No, you are still not close to me”
“How close do you expect?”
“Very close. I don’t know why you don’t
want to notice my love for you”
“Please, stop, be yourself!”
“Is Tochi more beautiful that me?”
Wisdom kept quiet. After few minutes of no
response, Jennifer went back to her seat
and Calista came around.
“What did he say?” she asked.
“He said nothing”
“Hmm.. That Tochi has taken his heart”
“I will make Wisdom love me” Jennifer said
staring at the wall.
“How?” Calista wanted to know.
“Watch and see!” she concluded.
BREAK_PERIOD
Wisdom was lost in thought thinking how
to revile to Tochi how he feels. “I know she
will reject me probably because of my past
actions towards her or because of Esther
and Jennifer” he thought.
Meanwhile,Tochi was also in her classroom
reading her book. But she stopped and
stared at the wall. She was really missing
Wisdom and wanted to hear his voice. She
suddenly faced her book again but a voice
interrupted her, then she quickly looked up.
Lo and behold, Wisdom stood before her.
Her heart skipped, returned and began to
beat faster.
“Wisdom?” she called with a low voice
allowing the book to fall from her thighs.
“Good day” Wisdom greeted.
“Sorry for my manners, Good day” Tochi
forwarded the greetings.
“I’m sorry for..”
“Is okay” she interrupted him. “I
understand. I waited for you though but
didn’t see you”
“I’m really sorry”
“I said is okay” she picked up the book and
concentrated on it.
“Can i talk to you after school?” Wisdom
asked, then Tochi raised up her head.
“You mean both of us?” she asked.
“Yes”
“I hope no problem.. by the way did you tell
Esther what i told you?”
“Yes, i only told her we aren’t dating”
Tochi stared at him expecting other other
part of her request but Wisdom kept quiet.
“And?”  she broke the silence.
“And nothing” Wisdom replied. “Please, will
you see me after school?” he added.
“Okay, if you say so”
“Thanks” he walked out gently and Tochi
didn’t need a prophect to tell her that he
was going to propose to her😋😋
Shey u day grab😁………..
