Mr. Right And Mrs. Wrong: (A Happy Ending Story)

2/5 ( ratings)

It was a ten room ground floor, typical face-me-I-face-you building where only six rooms were, in a rather impoverished settlement in an ancient town located somewhere in Lagos, a popular and commercial center in Nigeria. There in one of the rooms of the paltry building newly refurbished was where a young man, 5 feet 6 inches tall, popularly known among his friends as M2 stayed with Sola. It was about eight in the morning; the sky was clear. It looked so bright that one could tell that the day will be sunny if only the weather was that predictable by mere ocular lenses during the season of rain they were in.

There were bald patches of suffocating grasses that had suffered from feet stamping opening into the lean path leading to the building and luxuriant weeds randomly dispersed around the building. Craters holding dirty water formed from bad and long term water holding wide road from which the lean path branched off to the building. The families living there were very low income earners and bachelors struggling to keep their feet under them in the strained economy of the nation which no one knew when it would catch a better breath and assume good health.

M2 and Sola stayed in just one segmented room meagerly stocked with the necessary things because of space. The mattress lay helplessly on the floor having a good cover on it, to one corner was the wardrobe area where space was used in bits. Close to the entrance to the left was the kitchen cabinet where plates and cups and other utensils were kept. Food was cooked either in the passage close to the wall beside the room door or the common kitchen. The bathroom and toilet were detached from the main building at the back. They were such that except you’ve been living there, you won’t want to go there for convenience when pressed else, the press will disappear with the sight that would greet your senses to welcome your reception.
