Thank you for obliging me to do this for you he says, ushering her to where his car was parked, then remotely opening unlocking the car door, and they opened the doors, closing it simultaneously as he switched on the ignition, reversing out of the car port, then asks where
her office is, she told him, then he headed the car towards the south end of the island. As they drive on, he gets to a mobile fast food hawker and slowed down, parked to buy
something from the woman, “I am hungry”, he says. “What you bought would spur on
another cascade chain of hunger pangs”, she has replied him. Well at least before that happens, it will sustain me a while till I get to where I will take bolus meals, he replied her. They continued to talk as he drives on to the extreme edge of the town where her company is
located at. He did not take the common route at that hour of the day because he knows there would be heavy traffic there, as he drove through the corners and interiors of the town to boycott those busy areas, the lady told him that it is because he is familiar with the terrain
of the island that makes him take those routes else, if he is one of the new people in town he would not be able to take those routes. The young man told him that he was born and bred in the island, except for my University program which I went for another island for, I would
have said, since the time I have been given birth to, I have not leave the island, but because the University I attended is outside the island, that was what took me outside this island. However having graduated from the University too and was thinking of not returning
to the island, I found myself coming back here, therefore, all these places that I drove through, in the past I used to trek along those paths while going to the stadium to play with my colleagues, he said. Wow! That is lovely! You do not look like someone who is born and
bred here, she has replied him. How do people born and bred here looked like? He asks her. I will leave the answer till another time she replied him. Okay, it would be my utmost pleasure to hear what your answer would be the next time when we shall meet he replied her.
By this time they have gotten to her company. He drives her inside the premises of the company while the security personnel asks for the means of identification of the young man before he could be allowed into the premises. The lady wants to stop him but he told her that
he is doing his job and since I have my identity card with me, there is no problem with that he replied her, as he takes out his identity card and showed it unto the security personnel. After looking at it, they allowed him into the premises, “sorry for this”, she told him, there is
nothing to be sorry for there he replied her, they are doing their job, securing the company. As he parked, asking for her phone numbers after they have exchanged their phone numbers, she said, you have saved me a lot of stress today, obviously if not for you I
wouldn’t have gotten to this place now, because those commercial vehicles would not want to take the shortcuts you have drove through, because they will be after maximum gain. It is a pleasure meeting with you today, shaking her hand, told her his name as she also tells
him hers’, I will call you soon to know whether you have gotten to your place of work she said, closing the door behind her, I will be expecting he replied, as he drives off. That was the beginning of their meeting, she called as stated, by that time he has arrived at his office and they chatted a while before ending the call.
