31. SURPRISE
Getting into the office, he noticed everyone was busy with work. They looked so serious with their works as he went up from various offices to inspect them, he was really impressed.
He got back to his office and got a notification on his phone, he checked it and it was a birthday wish from an unknown number. "Today is my birthday." He chuckled, even though Jamil reminded him days ago. He still forgot about it.
"How come no one wished me happy birthday at work?" He questioned and sat back, swiveling the chair around in ecstasy.His phone rang again and this time, it was a call from his mother.
"Assalamu Alaikum mama." He greeted.
"Happy birthday to you my son, I pray Allah bless you and grant your heart desires Roshan." She prayed.
"Amin." He responded.
"Roshan, you're already thirty today. I could still remember when I had you, you were so little. And when you celebrated your

"Ben!" Esther yelled over the phone. "He proposed." She squealed, not sparing time for Ben to greet her properly."Wow!" She was happy for her best friend. "So, what did you say psycho?" Ben asked."Yes! I said yes." She told Ben. "I said yes, I will marry him.""Congrats baby, we have a wedding to plan." Ben whispered happily, already envisioning how the wedding would look like, her crazy best friend and her husband, she giggled at the thought of the word "husband" Esther got a husband?"Yes ooh, a big one after NYSC sent forth." Esther said, it was obvious she was very happy."Wow!" Ben exclaimed again. "Congrats, best baby.""Thanks a lot.""Have you met his people yet?" Ben asked, Esther explained to her how nice David's mom was to her when she visited. He lost his father when he was little, but his mom made sure his siblings and him didn't lack a thin

They got to the first boutique and nothing picked her interest, the clothes were too revealing and all fitted for a model. She didn't like that she wasn't a model and her body type was far different from a model's, she needed something simple and attractive in a modest way."So, you don't like any of this?" Ben asked as they checked the dresses out."No." She nodded negatively."We still have more shops to check out dresses, take your time." She told her as she showed a dress to her but she waved a no sign. Ben got it, she returned the dress back on the rack.They stepped out, walked into the next shop. Her eyes roamed the store and she didn't like the dull colours that were hanged on the racks."Nothing is attractive here." She whispered to Ben."Exactly what I was thinking too." She giggled. "Let's move to the next store."As they entered into the

Good morning boss." Ben greeted as she entered into Roshan's office."Good morning, my secretary." He retorted."Have you eaten this morning?" She asked."No, but you can prepare a coffee for me as usual." He was still busy typing."But, I'm talking to you." She shifted closer to him and pouted her lips, he finally looked up at her."I replied you, didn't I?" He had a confused look displayed on his face."Not the way I want." She moved away from him. "I'll bring your coffee soon." She left his office, he stared at her as she walked out of the office, he smiled, he knew he was in for a lot from Ben, a lot of dramas, a lot of attentions and a lot of more.He inserted airpods in his ears and continued typing.Ben walked back into the office with a cup on a tray in her hands. "Here." She dropped the coffee on his table, he didn't look ba

"I no dey hear you well." Annie removed the earphones to enable her hear what the other person was saying audibly."I'll be completing my NYSC next month and I'll like to visit Kano as soon as I'm done, maybe I could get a job there. So, I was thinking if I could stay at your place pending the time I'll get used to the place and rent my own apartment" The person said."You are not serious, are you?" She looked surprised, she sat on the chair at the balcony and crossed her legs. "Are you really asking for my permission before you can come to my place?" She asked him."Na you be mama now na." He praised her, she insulted him back in response. That was how close she was with her favorite cousin."If you want to come, come. Don't come and be disturbing me on phonecalls." She told him jokingly. "Why Kano of all places sef? Do you have an eye here, or is there a girl you just met and she's based here?" She joked, kn

Ben was summoned by Roshan, she got to his office hoping to be formal with him today and nothing more would surface.He gestured to a seat, she sat down and tried to stay focused."What are your plans after service?" He simply asked, diverting all attention to her."Nothing yet." She replied him."You should have plans." He was surprised she said nothing."Maybe go back to Lagos for job hunting, other than that. I don't have any other plan." She told him."You're going back to Lagos?" He asked almost dejectedly."Yeah?" She nodded her head and looked at him, he had a gloomy countenance on."Are you interested in working for this company?""I work here, I wouldn't have worked here if I wasn't interested." She said."After NYSC, do you still want to work here?" He asked again."It's actually very nice

Ben was engrossed in the enormous file in front of her, her table was filled with piles of documents - ranging from contracts applications to promotion letters and all sorts of files to be typed and corrected by the director.So much work for a director's secretary.She glanced at the files carefully."Hello pretty." She recognised the voice but she wasn't sure yet, she slightly raised her head up to confirm her curiosity."Mr Jamil." She beamed upon seeing him, it's been a while they saw each other. "How have you been?" She purred."Very well and you?" He responded. "And thanks for last time, by the way." He added.Ben nodded her head, her lips turning into a small smile. "How's Aminat?" She remembered his wife and asked about her."She's good." He told her. "Is Roshan in?" He asked."Sure." She nodded her head and directed him i

She got to the venue he fixed at exactly seven thirty in the evening, she found a deserted chair at the park. She ambled towards it and sat down gently.She looked up and stared at space, the constellations formed bright colours of yellow or maybe light red- whichever it was, it was so beautiful- a beautiful view to stare at.She checked the time, it was close to the time he told her to meet him there. She heard a car pull up, she diverted her attention towards the direction and there he was, trying to park the car properly in a spot."Hey." He smiled at her, the star shone brightly upon him and she could see his bright smile. He wore a white shirt that hugged his masculine figure, a jean but she wasn't able to detect the colour due to the darkness that was taking over the day, and she was sure he was putting on slides. He looked casual, she had only seen him on suits - at work and kaftan - the day she followed him home.

Seconds turned into minutes, minutes turned into hours, hours turned into days, days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, months gradually turned into a year.Exactly one year she left for Kano to serve her fatherland, she didn't know if she was to be happy as she stood alongside other corp members in the camp ground.It was finally over, Ben was smiling brightly. Everyone held their certificates in their hands and took pictures of different kinds.Ben was in her uniform of a white T-shirt boldly scribbled on the shirt was NYSC in capital letters with a grey paint, grey khaki trousers and an orange colour boot with some black lines around it.She was satisfied, the year hadn't been easy. It was full of a lot of drama in her life, she met with amazing people in Kano. As she took pictures with Annie, she thought of her - she'd miss her so much.After the passing out parade, she'd prob
