MY CANDY CRUSH

At home that night, only one word occupied my

mind. "condition". "What could that be?" I thought.

"Well, I guess am ready to do whatever it takes to have Racheal. Even if it means me getting the skirt of a lioness or the suit of a monkey. I can go anywhere just for racheal."I thought to myself again.

All I was now waiting for was Sunday.

Wednesday to Sunday was now like forever. The days doesn't seem to be passing bye.

My mum could see the eagerness in me to be in church on Sunday. Normally, they usually force me to come to church. But now, I was the one reminding them of the special service we would have on Sunday.

Actually nothing was special about the service atleast to me. Just hearing what Gladys had to say was the special thing.

So in church that day, the pastor used 3 hours to preach his sermon.

"Oh no! I thought we have heard this sermon before!! Pastor it's time to close. "Adam will not eat another apple. We already knew how he ate it"

All these thoughts were running through my mind just because of Gladys.

When I thought the service was about to close, just then they commenced the communion service. At that point I felt like crying, had it not been that Gladys was a choir member, I would have probably gone to call her outside just to hear it.

I lacked patience at this point because I was so eager to know what condition Gladys wanted me to meet in oder for her to help me out with her freind Racheal.

Service finally closed. Choir started their FAF (fellowship after fellowship). I thought I used to be patient, but i discovered that I have never longed for anything this much in my life. There was no iota of patience in me.

After all of the waiting Gladys finally came. Then she said "Oh handsome, am so sorry for keeping you waiting. I had to do one or two things. Hope you are not angry with me my dear?"

I couldn't understand. Is she trying to flirt with with me? I thought to myself.

My own goal is to get racheal, so I didn't pay attention to her choice of words.

Then she said "why don't we discuss in the cafe along the road there" pointing to one.

I was a bit confused. "First of all she gave me a condition, later called me handsome, now she's asking us to go the cafe. It felt so suspicious but yet since I wanted this so badly, I have to oblige.

"Well, it's alright"I said within myself.

A male waiter welcomed and ushered us into a brightly-lit room with the chatter of people drinking as they mingled. she ordered for two bottles of coke while I sat unimpressed, inpatiently waiting to discuss her surposed condition of me getting her influence on her freind Racheal.

"Paul guess what?"she finally said smiling while stretching her feet slightly under the table which stood amidst the both of us.

"This girl is so unpredictable" "what does she want from me" I thought to myself.

Then I said to her. "Why do you want to give me heart attack? It's not fair, Just tell me please."

"Alright, I will tell you" "I spoke with racheal during the weekend. And she seemed to have noticed you too. But you will have to approach her yourself first atleast to prove that you love her. Then I can come in from there." She said.

So relieved and happy, I shouted " wow!!!" bringing the attention of almost everyone in the building to us.

But almost immediately I remembered that we still haven't discuss the condition she talked about eailier.

I didn't want to get too excited until I hear her condition. So I said "so what's the one condition you talked about?"

Then she bent her heads down, with a finger on her

Lips, she shyly said "I like victor your brother.

can you help get him to talk to me"?
