Waiting For Her

Waiting for her episode 1

Waiting for her episode 1
Some months ago, I finished my pre-degree in the popular university of Benin, it has been approximately 3 months now. About a month ago, my Muslim girlfriend broke up with me, it has been exactly a month and five days.
About three days ago, the online girlfriend which I thought I could use to ease away the pain of my ex girlfriend broke up with me also because she thought I didn’t have interest in her, we only dated for five days, exactly five days 10 hours now. Everything about me wasn’t fine, everything was shattering and worst still UNIBEN has bluntly refused to release our admission list, we direct entry students. I held up my phone hoping to write an episode of one of my numerous stories I do post online ” Act of Faith” but no, the inspiration wasn’t coming. ” Gab!!” My dad shouted my name from the sitting room, I stood up sluggishly from the bed and headed towards the sitting room, I knew what he would be calling me for, it’s either about my admission status or why I have refused to wash his car which he asked me to wash since morning, it was either of those two, nothing more. ” Sir ” I answered as I got to the sitting room where he was lying on a couch and shaking his leg like a woman waiting for her son who she had plans of beating. ” Eh ehen, Gab, what are they saying about you people admission stuff?” He asked , ” Nothing daddy, they haven’t said anything yet about it” I told him,I was tired of his everyday question about my admission status, it was annoying. ” Are you sure you are following the website?” He asked , only if he knew it was called ” Kofa page”. ” Yes dad, I am following their website ” I said trying hærd not to laugh, ” Hmm, okay go, I just pray you get this admission ” He said and continued with the football match he was viewing. ” God, please, help me, let UNIBEN consider me for admission this year, I promise to serve you for ever ” I prayed as I entered into my room, ” God , I want to leave home” I hit my bed stand with anger , I felt the pain on my leg but my anger surpassed it. I was tired of staying at home, I was tired of going to the football pitch everyday and seeing my ex girlfriend play love with her new boyfriend, I don’t know what it meant but they are always present any time my team has a match with another team, she was always there with the new guy, yes he looks more handsome than I am, he the perfect description of a big boy, the kind of guy she wanted me to be, but I am not that kind of guy, I happen to be just a simple guy that just like to keep it simple, but the last time I checked, that is not the kind of guy a girl wish for.
I didn’t know when I slept off but when i opened my eyes again, it was 9:30pm. I stretched my hand for my phone which always sleep with me, I stared at it for any missed call, but who would call me? I logged in to my kofa page again, I knew I was still going to see the same status, submitted, but I had to still check. I put In my login details and it soon started to load, the page came on and I was surprised at what I saw, the status had changed, it was no more submitted, it now read clearly, Admitted. I quickly scrolled down the page to see the course I was given, I closed my eyes as I swipe the phone up to the bottom of the page, ” Biochemistry ” it read, ” Yes!” I shouted to myself, I have been admitted, I am now to pursue a degree, ( BSCBCH) , my happiness new no bound as I sprang up from the bed, at last, I was now at the verge of becoming a two hundred level biochemistry student. ” Daddy” I shouted as I ran into his room, he didn’t answer to my shout rather he stared at me expecting what I was to say, ” I have been admitted o” I shouted laughing, ” Really, which course?” He asked me happily, ” Biochemistry daddy, industrial biochemistry ” I shouted happily, ” Hmmm” his countenance changed, ” But you said you got 12 points out of 15?” He asked me, ” Yes I got twelve point” I concurred, ” 12 point is enough to get you Medical lab science or course like Pharmacy ” he told me, ” Daddy, Uniben gave me this, I am okay with it ” I told him, ” Are you sure you want the Biochemistry or should I call prof to change it for you?” He asked me, ” Change what? I want the Biochemistry ” I told him, ” Okay then, it’s your choice” He told me and faced the other side of his big bed, I walked away from his room although a little bit angry but not too angry to cover up my happiness. My phone vibrated on my hand, ” Ah, who is calling me today? ” I asked myself as I picked the call from the unknown number, ” Who is this?” I asked in a little bit of a calm voice, ” Gabriel, it’s me o, Victedo, this is my dad’s number” Came the voice of one of my friends back then during our pre degree program. ” Victor, you remember me today?” I asked him, ” Gabriel, I did not forget you, things are not just good. Have you seen your admission status? ” he asked me, ” Yes o, I just see am now” I laughed, ” What were you given?” he asked , ” BCH ” I answered. ” Wow, biochemistry, that’s nice o” He told me, ” What about you?” I asked ,” Guy Uniben finish me o” His voice was sorrowful, ” Wethin dey knack you?” I asked , ” Na AEB , they give me o” he said, ” Wooow, AEB, that sounds like a big course, congratulations bro” I told him, sincerely, I was happy for him. ” Guy, calm down, do you know what AEB mean?” He asked me, ” No oo, but I do hear it very well, it is a very famous course” I answered, ” Guy, na Animal and Environmental Biology oooo” he lamented on phone, I tried to hold myself from laughing, I noticed I could not hold it and quickly put an end to the call as I bursted into laughter, myself and Victor are the same set of people that do sit in front of the class then during the course of our pre degree program, we would gladly boast to anyone that cares to listen of how ambitious we are to get Medicine, but today, what is the case, BCH And AEB.
