(Bright is pushing his ice cream cart and at some point wanted to cross the road, his vision is blurred so he couldn't notice the car coming).

          As he was crossing the road, he heard a horn blast at its maximal sound frequency, the driver tried to control the car so as not to hit him but eventually hit his cart( this also got him displaced from his position). Bright quickly stood up to beg the man but the man was too impatient so he gave him a very hot slap and Bright fell down again. He was trying to beg the man but couldn't see the man very well, he was seeing two objects in which both looked like human whereas one is the driver and the other is his ice cream cart. He started begging the ice cream cart and this was when the driver later knew he has poor sight condition, he had sympathy on him.

          Susan and her friends were at the opposite part of the road, they ran and got to the  scene before every other person got there. The helped Bright up and also packed some of the remaining ice creams. They later helped him home that day. Is this where you live?(Susan asked). Yes(He replied). If you don't mind, can I stay here with you for some minutes? Yes, no problem. Do you live alone?(Susan asked again). I live with my dad, he will soon be back home. Susan, let us go home, the time is speeding. Tina, leave me alone, you can go, I want to stay with my friend. What do you want me to tell mum and Aunty Monica? Tell them I'm somewhere living my life the way I want. Okay bye( Tina replied).

          Bright, can you see me? Of course, I can see you clearly, my sight is not that bad but sometimes things appear very blurred that I don't really have a good picture of what I'm seeing. Hmm, sorry about that. Thank you. If you don't mind, my dad is a medical doctor and he can be of help on concerning your sight, I mean he can give you correctional glasses and drugs. Waoo, thank you, I'm very grateful , thank you so much( He stammered). Also, take this( She brought out two thousand dollars) and gave it to him so that he can take care of himself, I will still come and see you tomorrow. Thank you so much( He stammered again), Susan smiled in response to his stammering.    Bright, I have to be on my way right now. Bye.

          Two minutes after Susan had gone, Samson knocked the door. Bright became very surprised as he saw Samson. How are you doing bro?(Samson asked). I'm fine( Bright replied). How is your health and I hope you did not stress yourself too much today. Not at all, thank you so much bro. I only came to check on you, we will see some other time. Bye.

          As Susan was about to enter the house, she  knew she was in trouble as she has given Bright the two thousand dollars she was suppose to use to pay one of her school levies. She thought so much on the lie to tell her parents so that they would eventually believe her. She later concluded that she was going to lie that she was robbed and almost being raped by some gangsters but God used one nice guy for her who saved her from the rape. Wait, wait( She mustered to herself) Who is going to be that nice guy?  I think that should be Bright and this would even create an avenue for her family members to know Bright especially her dad because he will take care of Bright very well regarding his health.

          The lie later became a successful one, Dr and Mrs Wilson pitied their daughter as she even showed them her cloth which has been torn( She did it intentionally) so that she could easily convince her parents that she was almost being raped. Stop crying my baby(Dr Wilson pet his daughter), I am very happy the other incident did not happen, I will give you another two thousand dollars to pay for that fee. Thank you daddy( Susan replied).

          Susan later freshened up and walked into her room in order to rest. As she fell on her bed, she looked straight up and started mustering to herself " I need to be true to myself, I'm in love with this guy, everything about him is so captivating like crazy. He is just too cute and ohh my God... How I wish this this guy is my future husband, only God knows how cute our kids are going to be, his voice is so tender like that of a 7 month old baby, his afro style alone makes me go haywire ... I love this guy but I need to help him concerning his health. The question is how do I link him and my dad up..( She went deep into her thoughts for some minutes and later thought of a plan).

( The lecture had finished, Bright took his bag and went outside to catch some fresh air, Samson followed him since they are now best friends. They both sat down under the tree and started discussing).

          Bright, you need to let me know the good news because I don't know the reason behind this smile of yours. For goodness sake, you have been smiling all day, what is happening? Okay, let me tell you something (Bright replied). I'm all ears ( Samson gave an eager look). Hmm hmm, I'm not telling you again. Stoppp Bright, you need to stop this suspense of yours, suspense often tense me up and I hate it. Yeaaa, that reminds me the formula you taught me,  T=F=ma. Good one my boy, answer my question or ...(Bright cuts in) or what? Okay, let me satisfy your curiosity, Samson, I'm in love.(Samson gave a funny look). With who?(He asked). It's a long story actually but the name of the girl is Susan. Okay, gist me more about her. Don't worry, I will tell you the remaining part of the story later, what is really up between you and Lizzy? What do you mean? What I mean is that the girl likes you and has been showing you signs and I wonder why you still snub her most times, the answer is simple, I DON'T LIKE HER. Samliz! Samliz! Samliz!(Michael shouted at a distance). Ohh my God,why do I have lunatics as friends?  What do you mean?(Bright asked). I have told this dumb ass never to call me that nickname again but instead for him to change, the folds of him being obstinate increases and still call me the same nickname.
