At the front of Mirabel's hostel, there are always bike men who parked their bikes to wait for their next customer. (Bikemen are people who use their motorcycle for commercial businesses). So residents of their hostel never had a problem with finding transportation. She alighted from chioma's car and as she walked past the bikemen, she greeted them
"Good afternoon sirs "
" Good afternoon oh, how was your lecture?" They replied in unison
"Fine" after she answered them, they went back to their discussions. As she was about to open the hostel gate someone else greeted her
"Good afternoon" she looked up to see a young man standing beside the bikemen. He didn't look like a bikeman though, he looked more like a student
" Good afternoon" she looked at him for a few seconds before walking inside
She walked into the building from the west and climbed to the second floor. She tried to open the door first but it didn't open meaning Nafisat was not yet back from wherever she went to
She opened the door with her keys and walked into the room. It was messy, just as she left it. She dropped her back and paced the room for a few minutes and headed outside. When she opened the gate the boy was still standing there
" Do you know me?" She asked him immediately she got standing in front of him
" No," he said looking confused
"Okay, which one is your bike?" she asked him looking at all the bikes
"What?" He asked looking very confused
" You don't want a passenger?" She asked him while looking at the other bikemen. " Or should I go and meet them?" Nodding towards them
"I am not a bikeman. Do I look like a bikeman?" His confused look now replaced with an angry look. He felt insulted
"Oh, I thought you were a bike man, Sorry." She said turning towards the bikemen when someone called her name from behind
"Mirabel" she turned back to see Nafisat coming towards her with a bag
"Thank God, where have you been?" She asked hugging her
" You know where," she said raising her brows
"So you didn't go for lectures today" more of a sentence than a question
" Where I went to was more fun than lectures" she joked turning towards the gate and she greeted the boy by the gate "Good afternoon"
"Good afternoon" he answered her
" Are you looking for someone from here?" she asked pointing at the hostel
"No," he said looking at Mirabel as he continued. " I live here, i am waiting for someone"
" Really?, I haven't seen you before"
"Yeah, I just moved in yesterday"
" Oh, that's nice. Which room?"
"Room 12"
"Are you serious?" She half laughed and looked at Mirabel "we stay in room 13. We are neighbors"
"That's nice," he said looking at the hostel
" My name is Nafisat" she introduced herself and extended her hand for a handshake
" Daniel" he received her hand
"I think you know my friend already," she said turning to Mirabel
"Not actually"
"My name is Mirabel and i am sorry for the misunderstanding earlier" Mirabel extended her hands too
" No problem, it's okay" he extended his hands to shake her too
" Okay see you around"
" Sure"
Nafisat and Mirabel walked inside the building. Nafisat was trying to tell Mirabel what she and her boyfriend Muhammed did but Mirabel blocked her ear on each attempt
"Okay I will not tell you again," she said laughing " What was that outside? I thought you guys talked"
" No. We know each other but I don't think he remembers me"
" How do you know him?"
" Just forget him. How was your visit?" Trying to change the topic
" I thought you were not interested'' she looked at Mirabel
" I am interested now" before she finished her sentence, Nafisat had already started her narration. She has been dating Muhammad for a month now. Anytime she got back from her date with him, she would tell Mirabel everything that happened right from the moment she saw him till he waved goodbye. Sometimes she narrates the stories for hours, sometimes till the next day.
" He is so nice. He bought me another teddy bear" she said after two hours
"Really? That's nice of him" Mirabel answered already frustrated with the whole talk
"I know right" she went on. " He is so sweet." She said dreamingly
"Yeah" Mirabel closed her eyes in exhaustion
" That neighbor looks handsome," she said winking at Mirabel "Maybe you guys could hit it off and we will go on a double date, it would be so fantastic," Nafisat said when they laid down to sleep
" Can we sleep now. I have lectures by 8:00 am tomorrow " Mirabel begged Nafisat
"I know you don't want to talk about him, why?"
"What do you mean?"
"Since I have known you, you never ignore my questions. You are always happy to share and since we talked with him, you seem down."
"Just forget, i don't want to talk about it"
"Okay"
"Thank you" she answered knowing Nafisat will still bring up the topic later. It might be tomorrow or the day after or next. Nafisat never forgets, she loves boy gist.
" I think Muhammad..."
"Shut up!" Mirabel shouted and covered her face with her pillow immediately the heard the name, Muhammad.
I HOPE YOU LOVE IT.
