“Yea pretty, how can we help you?” Ken asked smiling as he sat
well.
“Please I’m here to see Jeffrey,” the girl mumbled with her hands
behind her back.
“Oh! The SUG president?” Ken asked again and glanced at Nath
who was still staring.
“Yes” came the reply.
“Nice, enter the corridor by your left and climb the stairs, when
you get to the top, knock on the third door on the first floor.” he
directed.
“Okay thank you” the girl said and turned to leave.
“Hey!” he called out again. “Remember the rules of not staying till
10:30PM and stick to it.”
“I will, thanks,” the girl smiled and left with her buttocks shaking
like rattle.
“Nna ehn, Nath see beauty,” Ken exclaimed caressing his jaw and
licking his lips as he watched the girl climb the short flight of stairs
and disappear into the corridor. “Baby okwu, kai! So fresh and
homely,” he praised further but Nath didn’t reply so he turned to
face him. “Nath!” he prodded, surprised to see that he was still
staring but with a closed mouth this time.
“Yea” Nath replied startled. “Ken, my dream girl, my dream girl,”
he screamed excitedly.
Ken was taken aback, “So you mean that’s the girl and you let her
go, just like that?”
“Guy, I was too shocked to speak. I never knew she studies here
coz I aven’t met her here before,” Nath said and placed his head in
his palms.
Ken checked the time and it read 8:26pm. “No wahala, we go gum
here like chewing gum de wait for am,” he said in pidgin.
They waited and waited with Ken constantly checking the time
and yawning tiredly while Nath was already asleep. After waiting
for what seemed like eternity, Ken stood up, yawned and
stretched then he rubbed his eyes and stared at Nath who leaned
on the bench back rest half asleep. “Guy, are you normal, so
you’re sleeping right?” he asked and slapped Nath’s head making
him wake up and stand immediately.
“Is she here?” Nath asked looking around.
Ken stared at him and shook his head. “Mumu, no!, lets go in and
sleep, it’s past 10pm,” he said and half dragged Nath to the
pavement.
“But where’s she?” Nath asked still looking around.
“Don’t worry, we’ll search for her tomorrow, it’s late,” Ken said
and dragged him up the stairs.
Inside their room, Nath still looked worried as the changed into
their pyjamas and lay on the bed. The room had a double bunk
but the preferred sleeping on their family size mattress which was
on the floor.
“Dont worry, there’s tomorrow, now it will be “Searching for my
dream girl,” ken chuckled and closed his eyes. Nath stared at him
and smiled a bit, then he turned and closed his eyes too…

The next day, the students of “Heartland University” could be seen
walking in groups of twos and threes chattering excitedly. Most of
the students especially the new intakes could be seen walking to
the registeration centre inorder to get registered coz it was a new
session. The cleaners were seen sweeping and tidying the
surroundings. Everyone was busy in his or her activity.
“Heartland University” could be termed as one of the best
universities in town. It had well competent and management team
of lecturers. The VC was a young woman of about 35. It had well
equipped library, good hostel and medical facilities, a large football
field and the best layout of sporting equipments and a cafeteria
etc. The walls were high painted blue and protectefd round with
coiled electrified wires. The buildings were arranged in one and
two storey blocks with rows of bright pink bougainvillea plants
planted along the fence and inbetween the paths leading to the
male and female hostels. To say the least “Heartland University”
could be termed as the best and everything about it spelt good…

Time checked 11:45am
Nath could be seen walking briskly in a pink shirt and black
trouser. In his right hand was a file which contained course
registeration papers and payment receipts.
That girls face kept reoccuring his mind. He had left the hostel that
morning with Ken but right now he walked alone coz Ken had
decided to take one of his numerous girlfriends for lunch.
He kept thinking of where the girl could be and was lost in thought
then suddenly a movement startled him when he felt a hand
being placed on his waist. Turning to face the person, he
grumbled impatiently…
