She met him through a friend
The friend was a guy she met while she was attending an evening lesson meant to help prepare her for WAEC
The friend was the type she couldn’t date even if she wanted to
They just weren’t attracted to each other tha way
They were both average students

As their examination was fast approaching, her friend told her about a guy!
A brilliant guy who has agreed to help out during the examination for free!
They were both desperate to make their results at this point!
She had written WAEC four times while her friend had written WAEC

Five times!
They both needed to have at least a C in their mathematics and English language to complete their papers
She worked as a sales girl in the supermarket to pay for the WAEC form
She desperately needed to gain admission
Her immediate younger sister was gong to be writing

The same examination with her
She really didn’t want her sister to overtake her
She asked her friend if the guy could help her too
Her friend said he would put in a word for her!
Examination week arrived
The guy showed up
The plan was simple (I cannot detail the plan here)

The plan worked!
Some teachers in the village school where they pulled the stunt worked hand in gloves with them!
Many of the other candidates also benefited
The third paper finished around 6pm
He could have left with the 4pm bus but she was desperate and begged him to stay and

help them with the oral English and objective questions too! She saw the way he worked earlier that morning and wouldn’t dare let the opportunity pass her by!
By the time they were done, he couldn’t get a bus out of the village!
He had to sleep in the village till the next day

Her friend was sharing a room with his two younger sisters
All they had to sleep on were mats
She had a mattress and she was staying alone
Her friend told her to accommodate him till the next morning!
She was not a child
She said no!
She told her friend she would vacate the room

For him and share the mat with her friend’s sister!
They agreed!
They went to her house to have dinner around 7pm
The village didn’t have electricity
Her friend went to the palm wine joint to get some palm wine
She was cooking ans chatting with him
It began to rain mangoes
What!!

The rain was so heavy, her friend couldn’t return!
She was stuck with him
It was not a problem
He was such a baby, he slept off while she was still cooking!
She spread some cloth on the floor and slept at a safe distance away from him!
She was fully dressed!
She wasn’t taking

Chances!
The cold of the night was crazy
At around 2AM the ground became too cold to bear, she rolled to the bed!
It was as if he had been waiting for her
As soon as her body touched his, he turned her to face him and began unapologetically to work on her body!
It was the cold!

They were both freezing in their bones
The touch changed everything!
It was a relief
It was also very practical
She couldn’t count the number of times they had sex
It lasted for hours
It was the crow of the cockerels that shushed them to sleep!
Luckily she didn’t have any paper

The next day!
She woke up around 9am!
The quickly removed any evidence of what happened!
She had her bath and went to her friend’s house!
She made sure she spent like two hours with her friend and his sisters before they returned to her room!
When they got to her room he was up

And fully dressed
He was ready to leave!
She kept away from him, she did so deliberately
She was ashamed of what happened and she didn’t want her friend or his sisters to know what happened!
He didn’t try to force the issue either!
He mentioned her name several times while they

Talked but when she didn’t take the bait he shrugged it off!
He left around 1pm
She forgot all about him!
Months later the result came and she passed
She gained admission
School resumed
Lectures resumed!
She started adapting to the life on campus!
She met him at the cafeteria

He was with some ladies
She recognized him immediately
She even smiled at him
He walked right by her, as if he was a total stranger
He didn’t even show any indication that he recognized her
She didn’t know why but she was hurt by his attitude
She just didn’t get why he treated

Her that way!
She started looking out for him
She wanted to walk up to him and tell him off!
She really couldn’t help herself!
She couldn’t let it go!
Her chance came three days later
She saw him at the library
She walked up to him
She introduced herself
She said “I am so and so

‘s friend! You came to such and such village last year to help us with our WAEC examination!”
He looked at her and it clicked!
She saw the reaction!
He really didn’t recognize her
He wasn’t being a snub
He held her hand and led her to a seat
They talked and talked for hours

He kept her by his side from that moment on
They moved on as if they had always been together
He didn’t ask her out
She didn’t expect him to
The body language and their conversations were automatic and in sync
They were a couple
They were meant to be
They were the real deal!

They were the type of couple you will meet and tell yourself "Life is beautiful"
He graduated and went off to serve in Taraba state
She was in 300 level when he left
Weeks later, the Joint Campus Student Fellowship organized a crusade
She attended
She gave her life to Christ

That same day, at the Corper's fellowship in Taraba, he also gave his life to Christ!
Later that night when they were having their midnight call, they both gushed with glory as they shared the testimony of their salvation!
It was too good to be true!
She graduated and started her

Own paint factory!
He became a lecturer with one of the federal universities
They got married in 2011
They have three children
They pastor a church somewhere in Osun State today!
