EPISODE 1
Roy walked to the house as his body had been
drenched with sweat from another fruitless
job hunting, he greeted Mr Williams before
heading to the bathroom to wash off the sweat
away from his athletic body..
Seeing Roy face which was moody as he walked
in, Mr William knew he didn’t made progress
in his quest for getting a job , sometimes he
wished he had send him to higher institution,
but this was were his money could take him, ”
Roy deserve better” he thought to himself as
he brought out one of his old newspaper
inside his cupboard beneath his couch, he was
going through the front page before he heard
a nock on the door ” who is that” he asked
folding the paper and heading to the door. ”
it’s me” Nina said from outside.
“oh!!!!! Nina how are you doing ” Mr Williams
asked cheerfully as he opened the door.” fine
sir” she greeted. ” is Roy in” she asked “yeah,
he just came back” Mr William answered.
“maybe i will just come back later” she said
and walked away.
Minutes later Roy walked to the sitting room
and sat on the couch pressing his mobile
phone.
” so how was it ” Mr Williams asked. He
already knew what his answer to his question
but he chose to hear it from his mouth.
” couldn’t find any reasonable job, ” Roy
replied with a dejected voice.
“that’s Okay, just keep on searching, you will
find one soon, I just have this fate. ” he said
with an optimistic voice.
” by the way Nina came looking for you, I
told her you just came back so she decided
she will come back ” Mr Williams added.
” Okay I will see her later ” Roy answered still
glued to his mobile phone.
” by the way are you dating her? ” he asked
Roy who was shocked of his question.
” no – we are just – friends” Roy stuttered.
” Why don’t you date her, she is a nice girl,
so many people thought you guys are dating
even me until now ” Mr William said. Roy was
not surprised, he knew most people thought of
them as a couple but he didn’t care what they
think, Nina was a nice girl.
” why don’t you date Nina,” his words echoed
in his head.
“she is my best friend ” Roy replied evasively
while Mr Williams shrugged in resignation. He
knew he love Nina but he was not sure if he
had any feelings for her maybe it was sisterly
love. ***** Time shall tell**** …

Nina
*******
After returning from the market, she went
home to take her bath before she will be
visiting Roy, she was in her room dressing up
before she heard nock on her door, she went
to open it, thinking it was Roy, but to her
dismayed it was Victor who had been following
her around like a stubborn fly, she had told
Intermittently that she don’t like him and will
never date him, but Victor was not someone
who do accept defeat easily.
“what do you want ” Nina questioned with arm
akimbo.
” take it easy, I came to see you ” he replied
with a smile, a smile that irritates her..
Victor was not handsome nor was he ugly.
” for what ” she asked starring at him in
disdain.
” -to know – – if you’ve accepted to be my
girlfriend ” he stammered foolishly while Nina
bursted into laughter..
” in your dream ” she hissed and jammed the
door.
” I should the girlfriend of a tout and and
drunkard” she said to herself .. Thinking of
victor’s proposal disgust her.
She finish dressing and we went to her
standing mirror to add a little make up on her
face , she gazed at her reflection from the
mirror and smiled to herself. She was
beautiful, she had the shape of Rhianna ,
with a nice curve and an Hazel eyes which Roy
admired about her.
she wish Roy could just ask her to be his
girlfriend, she so much like him, she knew he
like her but she was not sure he feels the
same way towards her..
___________________________________________________
Roy went to Nina’s house, they were staying
in 4 bedroom flat, her parents were not poor
neither were they rich, they were average as
some people will say. Although Nina was a
graduate , she graduated last year, she and
Roy were age mate just that Roy was older
than her with just 3 months. She had been
helping him with finances , sometimes Roy
feels ashamed to collect money from her but
she do persuade him, telling me” it’s for the
main time”…
He got to her house and nock at her door, the
door flung open while Nina quickly gave him a
welcoming hug..
“are you going somewhere ” Roy asked
scrutinizing the way she was dressed.
” not really, I would like you to take me out ”
she smiled while Roy shrugged..
” don’t worry, the bill is on me ” she added
while Roy looked down dejectedly.
” You shouldn’t be doing this ” Roy murmured
.
” let’s go” she said not wanting to reply his
question.
They left to an eatery were they ate and
discussed before they decided to call it a day.
Nina was just hoping Roy could summoned
courage and ask her to be his girlfriend, but
she was disappointed when he never
mentioned it. “there is still time, he don’t
have a girlfriend yet ” she consoled herself…
Roy walked her to her house before heading
to his, he got to his room and drafted to a
dreamless slumber..
He woke up the next morning in searched for a
job…
He went to Vitoria Island searching for a
factory work, but couldn’t find any, they all
gave the same flimsy excuses which was ” we
don’t need people we are complete” he
retired and was walking home, he saw poster
which reads” security guard ” he walked pass
it, about 20 meters away he halted
” should I apply ” he thought to himself, he
knew the job was below him, but he was tired
of haunting for job without progress, he
quickly scrutinized the building , it was a
duplex, he walked there and nock at the door. |
