Cupid's Arrow

Conquer

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the latest couple in town. You may kiss the bride, the pastor announced with a baritone voice and he swiftly took her lips in his and it was like fireworks.......

Dara!!! Nifemi repeatedly tapped her best friend on the back. Ehnnn what is it now Niffy? I've been calling you for over 3 minutes now. Let's go joor our Uber has arrived.

I'm sorry jare, I was just so engrossed in this novel I was reading. You just have to read it, trust me. I look at her and she was still fuming .Oya madam I've heard, let us be on our way. You know this Uber people and their extra charges if you keep them waiting, she said.

We rolled our bags outside the home we had lived in together for the last six years ready to conquer the world as we always said we would. University was a rollercoaster of emotions mehn. Waking up at 5am everyday to prepare for lectures at 7:00am which end by 6pm.

The saying that Medical school isn't for the weak, permit me to say is 1000% true. Don't even let me get started on the countless number of ASUU strikes. Omoooo I'm glad to be finally done with University.

Madam, you've started daydreaming again abi, my bestie Nifemi screamed in my ears. No, I was just thinking of how much I'll miss this place, our course mates, hectic lectures, annoying neighbours and Mr Danladi.

At the mention of Mr Danladi, our landlord for six years, we both roared into laughter. Dara, you're mad oooo, hope you know sha, Nifemi said. How would you even think of missing such a person. That man that gave us endless wahala in that house.

To be honest, I'll miss Ife but on a brighter note let's enjoy Lagos before NYSC posts us to one bush to stay for one year all in the name of serving our fatherland, Niffy said.

I pray for the best though. Remember I told you of one guy that helped my cousin to get Port-Harcourt because her now husband and then boyfriend was living there at the time. Sooooo I got his number and I may have scammed Dami for 100k to pay him to get us both Abuja slots.

Ahhhh, what was that for now? I hissed in pain as I soothed my now stinging back. Sorry bro, Niffy said whilst laughing. That's my way of saying thank you nau and also slapping you for scamming my husband without telling me.

Who's your husband? I pity you let that stupid Laide catch you. She'll offer you as pepper soup to her coven members. Gosh! I hate that girl. I honestly don't know what my brother sees in her till now.

You're the one that knows ooo better accept her as your sister in law. The earlier you do, the better for you bro. Anyways, thanks for the NYSC stuff, I really hope it works out. I love you babe.

I love you more bruhh, I said and we did a high five. I drifted off to sleep moments later and by the time I woke up, we were already at the airport.
