The eve of maturity "My dear, keep this in your left hand so that you won't forget. You're leaving this house to a place where neither your father nor I will be there to correct you, it's now left for you to amend your wrongs."
"Yes mum, I've heard all that you have said and I promise to be a good girl for the family,"
"it's not the family... it's for you. Your future has now started, it's left for you to decide.. hmmm, my daughter, don't disappoint me,"
Mum's words are too much and she's getting nervous, her eyes are turning red and wet, it's like she is about to cry.
"Mum, I promise I will never disappoint you, I'm promising you, please don't cry..." I also joined her to weep.
It's been so long that I've stayed at home. Finally, ASUU called off the long strike, and now I'm upgrading to a university level, big girl in town.
The building was amazing, right from the entrance, the double gate with an arc on it was so nice to look at.
This is actually my first time in Ekiti state and in EKSU, the third best state university in Nigeria. I had no friend or enemy, everyone was so busy with their own matter.
I proceeded to the registration department, stood in the queue and kept quiet, I hug my files and stared at everything around.
"Hi," a guy standing behind me said with a cool voice, I cleared my throat gently and packed my hairs smoothly.
"Hello," I turned back with a short smile on my face
" I'm sorry, you stepped ony shoes," he said.
Wow, this guy is so pretty, I looked up into his eyes, they were brown and bright.
"You stepped on my shoes...," he repeated.
"oh, I'm sorry," I turned forward, confused and nervous. Mummy come and save your daughter.
It's been a while since I've felt like this, I wasn't really getting myself, but I kept quiet so I won't disgrace my ancestors.
The queue was still long, I peeped to check why it wasn't moving. I couldn't see much because of my height, I tried hooping if I would see something clearer but it was still the same.
I made the mistake again , I stepped on his shoes.
"I'm so sorry," I said without even looking back.
He didn't say anything, he must be very angry.
