ANGLO-MOZ LOVE ( ONLY FOR OAU STUDENTS)

Coming to O.A.U has being a childhood dream ever since we came for an excursion from my secondary school while I was in JSS 3 to O.A.U’s zoo. I wrote jamb immediately after passing my SSCE and chose O.A.U as my first and second choice with Law and English as my first and second course of choice respectively and I was fortunate to score 265. Passing post UTME was the only thing standing in my way to get admission into O.A.U. I really prepared well and when it was four days to the exam I decided to come to school and stay with my cousin so as to be able to prepare well. I went with her in the evening to read at ODLT and I was amazed seeing a lot of O.A.U students there, reading when their exam is not even going to take place for another two months. I settled in and started reading, I was really enjoying my reading not until I was interrupted by my cousin that she needs to go, her boyfriend was with her and they needed to hangout. She asked me if I’ll be able to find my way back to the hostel when am done reading. I told her I know the routes to the hostel, she wished me happy reading and left. As soon as she left, I started losing focus, I was unable to concentrate well so I decided to go back to the hostel to relax and I’ll probably wake up during midnight to read. That was around 10.40pm and I headed straight for my cousin’s hostel (Mozambique hall). My cousin is a part 1 student of the department of Accounting and she’s a year older than I am, apart from the fact that we are cousins we’ve been good friends ever since she came for holidays at my place after her final exams in secondary school. I was imagining the fun my cousin and her boyfriend were having when suddenly I heard a voice, I looked around to make sure nobody else was around me and that I was the one being called, ‘’excuse me sister’’ he said again, now am convinced he was talking to me, so I paused and wondered what he wanted. He moved closer and said hello with a nice smile on his face, before I could say anything he talked again but this time around he introduced himself as Kunle. I caught back my breath by responding with ‘hi’ and told him am Tomiwa. He started asking questions of all sought ranging from which department am I in, what level am I, which hall of residence do I reside etc. it was just too much for me as I had not done anything similar to this in the past because am this indoor person. All I could say to Kunle was I need to go thinking he will get discouraged and allow me go but little did I know he wasn’t ready to stop talking to me. As I walk he followed and preferred to walk me to wherever I was going. We were almost at Moremi hall when I told him am actually going to Mozambique hall and
I really don’t want to waste his time but he still insisted on walking with me. The
lights at Moremi hall entrance allowed me get a clearer look at him; he has this
very nice body structure, cute dimples and a face that always seems to smile. He
is also very dark and he has this wonderful haircut. I said to myself this guy has
the TDH (Tall, Dark, and Handsome) every woman would die for. I decided to start
responding well to his questions so I told him I stay in Mozambique hall, when he
asked about which department I am, I wondered if he will still love to hang out
with me if he knew I came to right Post Utme so I decided to lie to him and I gave
him my cousin’s info. I told him am in accounting part 1 and he told me he is in Public Admin part 3, he is very funny, lively and fun to talk with, I said to myself and in a blink of an eye we were already in front of Mozambique hall and I just
felt reluctant to go in, he noticed and quickly took advantage of that and invited me to come sit under the shed in Anglomoz, Anglomoz, wonderful Anglomoz, always crowded Anglomoz to me is the love park of O.A.U where those in a
relationship, those in search of relationships and those that just come put to see( the on lookers) congregate every night starting from the moment the sun goes
down. Anglomoz as at then was already crowded and people were just in every
corner. I and Kunle moved under the tree near the suya man to talk. He offered to
buy me suya which I initially rejected but later obliged after much persuasion. He
bought me #200 Suya and bought himself the same amount. We talked and ate our suya; it was all fun to me. I tried as much as possible to ignore everything that
has to do with my academics in O.A.U. a quick glance at my watch and I was startled when I discovered it was 1.am already, I told him I needed to go and Kunle being the gentle man he has been claiming to be all night just said its ok
and he asked if we could see after lectures later in the day, we exchanged numbers and decided to see later in the evening. He gave me a side hug and wished me a wonderful night rest. I went inside the hostel feeling very happy that
I have met my prince charming. Throughout the day, I just kept on looking
forward to seeing Kunle again. He sent me a text around 7.Pm asking me how my
day has being and if we could meet by 10.pm, I quickly replied him- 10.pm is ok
for me totally forgetting I have an exam in two days’ time, I spent most of my
afternoon gisting with my cousin’s roommates. I was about to start reading for
the day when Kunle’s text came in and the only thing I could think about was what to wear, how to look and everything that concerns my meeting with Kunle
that night. I met with him that night and we were there till around 3.am, I enjoyed every bit of the moment we spent together. I got back to the room feeling very
happy and it just dawned on me that there is need for me to read. I hurriedly
picked up my books and stated reading but the thought of Kunle didn’t make me concentrate. I decided to sleep and continue my reading later in the day. I woke up a bit late, some few minutes before 10.am. I made a decision to do a lot of reading today since my exam comes up the next day; I also decided to spend less time talking with Kunle tonight. I met with Kunle at night at our usual meeting point (Anglomoz), we talked for just about 30minutes but the night ended on a romantic note, Kunle kissed me and I gladly reciprocated. The just that filled my heart was pushing me to tell my cousin who had no idea what has been going on for the past few days, we actually don’t hide things from each other but I don’t just feel obliged to tell her, really can’t explain why. I was contemplating whether to tell or not but my contemplation was quickly cut short when I found my cousin already fast asleep. The main reason why am in O.A.U is finally here (my exam), as I leave for my exam I kept asking myself a lot of questions: have I prepared well for this exam, what am I likely to score, what will Kunle think of me if he knows am not really in accounting part 1 like I claimed…. A lot of questions kept coming but I decided to console myself with the popular saying ‘’all is well’’. I boarded a bike from the bus stop to my exam venue- Health Sciences lecture theatre. On getting there, I already met people gathered in front of the lecture theatre. In no time the invigilators were there, we were being called in alphabetically and to my surprise I heard a name that sounded like that of Kunle because I remembered him giving me his full name yesterday night so as to add him as my friend on Facebook. Adewale Olakunle the invigilator called again and to my surprise Kunle appeared and was checked in. my heart broke and just kept telling myself Kunle is such a lair and I don’t think I’ll ever forgive him but on a second thought I also lied to him. Everything about our friendship for the past few days has been fake. I lied to Kunle about being a student of O.A.U and he also did the same to me, I guess the joke is on us. I tried as much as possible Kunle didn’t see me in the exam hall. I have been ignoring his call for the past few days now because am really confused concerning what to do. Should I come out and tell him the truth and tell him I know about him too or should I just tell him the truth on my path and see if he come clean with me too or should I just pretend Kunle never existed and just let everything go?
