It was a blissful and promising morning in Obiageli’s apartment. Her cell phone rang and she picked up her phone to answer the caller.

“Hello, good morning” Obiageli uttered with a shallow voice which depicts that she just woke up from sleep.

“Good morning sweetheart” The caller responded.

“Who are you, please?” Obiageli asked.

Behold, it was Tunde, her course mate whom she lost contact with after graduating from college.

“Tunde, where have you been all these while? It has been ages! Have you secured a job? How is everything going?” Obiageli queried with all seriousness.

“I’ve been good, dear. Everything is fine and yes, I have secured a job. I was one of those that Federal government hired some months back” Tunde answered.

“Wow, you’re very lucky” She added.

“What about you?” Tunde asked.

“Well, I’m yet to secure a job for myself though I’m running a provision store as a part time business pending when I’ll get a good job” She answered.

“Okay dear” He added.

“How has it been going? I mean the business” He asked.

“Well, God is good; at least I’ve not been starving” She responded.

“Wow! Oby Oby, the most beautiful lady in our department in those days. I hope you’re still as beautiful as you were in those days?” He jokingly asked.

“What of OJ, Cynthia, Myke and others? Have you been hearing from them?” Tunde inquired

“It’s been long I heard from Myke but OJ now resides in the United states with his parents and siblings. I heard he got a job there too.  Cynthia is happily married with two kids - a boy and a girl” She answered.

“Oh really? OJ my nigga! Please send his digits to me later” He responded.

“Alright, I’ll do that as soon as we get off the phone” She promised.

“Ngwanu nne m, I just got your number from Muna, we’ll talk much later”

“Okay dear, it feels nice to reconnect with and old friend. Ka odi” Oby added as she terminates the call.
