As soon as she entered her room, she pounced on her
bed with great flop, gouge her head between her 2
pillows in other to block her eardrum, an effort she
thought would save her from her mares. She never
intended to fall for any guy at the moment, not to talk of a
cypher, an ordinary driver. But the more she tried to block
her thinking faculty, the more she failed woefully! She
couldn't just erase the image, the mild smile, the soft
cool voice and the well rounded cute face. Even her ex
became insipid where Dami was concerned. The whole of
Dami's habitus wholesome kept erupting her mind. She
pondered vaguely on her bed for some minute, before
siting and soliloquizing .
"No it cant be, Eliza wake up! He is just a driver, better
guys are out there waiting for you, you know you wouldn't
stoop so low to go intimate with just a driver? Just few
hours in Naija and you are already head over heel in love
..hmmm, Damm, what is wrong with me? Am i going
crazy! Am i insane!" Eliza spewed those words like a
cark having ignorance of her being audible enough for any
outsider to eavesdrop.
Definitely this love at first sight, after all, she cant
dictate for the heart. As the heart always wants what it
wants. But is she really sure this Is not lust? No it cant be
lust. its pure love from the bottom of the heart" Eliza
mind pondered thoughtfully. But then, she recalled how
her mother painted him blight abrasively, the cold stern
look registered on her face when she said "I think you
should know that he is just our new driver.
"hmmmmm" she threw out a sigh. " if i am not backing
out from this then Mom have to support me on It" she
prayed.
Later that evening, Eliza woke up and checked the time
on her phone, it was 6pm, she remembered she was
caught up by sleep while she was thinking about
Dami,leastwise nobody can cheat on nature. She
wondered if her mom had even come around to check on
her. She took a long glimpse at the window and found out
that the sky had betrayed the time, as the sun still shone
broadly and it threw laser beam from the sky reflecting
very well in the room through the window blinds.
She decided to take an amble walk around the house,
more over, she needed to find more about him. She had
decided to quiz him and make him relate with her
colloquially. That was what she wanted and she was
ready to get. Any information about where he stays,
could help her. She was not ready to let her charming
prince slip away from her. Damilola.
"Ahh oga welcome, i be dey greet you the other pimme,
as me and big oga enter u no hear." Kofi their spooky
gate man voiced as he saw Eliza who was tramping
towards him. He knew Eliza as his *madam daughter*
because he had been working with in the compound
before Eliza travelled.
Kofi was a dark black hausa man. wish i could see any
synonymous word to describe his type of blakish. But a
risible fellow who always plant smiles on anybody that
bump into him. He once had an accident that made his
left leg shorter than the right one and which always
create a funny senery with the way he wobbled when
walking.
"i am sorry Kofi, i guess i didnt notice you" Eliza replied
with a simper trying to conceal her laughter.
"OK oga, so wefin me bring come from U-es-Pa? Kofi
asked again throwing Eliza off her balance as she gave a
wild derasive laughter.
" You know what kofi ? Its never called U-es-Pa. Itz called
U.S.A as in United State of America. Okay?
"Okay oga. Unifed State of Amelika? Kofi said again.
"okkkk, whatever. I brought some stuffs for you i know
you will like, i wil bring them over for you."
"Ah tanku oga"
"So how about seeing the driver, do you know where is
he? " Eliza sagely asked.
"You mean deripa?"
"Yes, where is he ?"
"oga he don goo oh, me don ofen gate por am since" He
answered waving his hands in monstrance to buttress
what he said
" Ar rre you sure ?" Eliza asked with puzzled look hanged
on her face.
"Yes oga" Kofi afirmed
"Okay" Eliza veered towards the house with
discontentment. So she would be unable to see her
prince charming. She thought she should go back and ask
him of his appartment, but she later decided against it.
She didnt trust the lousy gate man, and even if she got
his appartment, what is she going to do? She can't throw
herself just like that to a guy who is not even aware of her
feelings. Only time will tell. Her thought came to a halt
with Kofi voice yelling after her,
" Oga seh make i com polet am for my gift you pring
come from U-es-pay ?"
