Seyi chase me well well. After he commot that day, e no too tey before I know say na him be the male lead. As I still dey reason how I go near am, na so he begin pursue me openly, dey use style say na to promote friendship between boys and girls, make Senior Musa dey shout say e no get shame.

Sometimes, dem go gather for 'Love Garden' for campus, dey joke say Seyi don turn lover boy, say e no dey give other girls face. Me sef dey blush, but I dey form hard babe.

Later, he talk say he dey always calm, but no believe say love at first sight fit catch am.

Me I just dey laugh. For this our generation, e hard to see person wey gree say love at first sight real. But the way Seyi dey carry the matter, e dey sweet me.

But he no know say to be with am na my mission—and my only chance to escape bad ending.

Sometimes, when I dey watch am dey smile, I go remind myself say e get as e be. No be ordinary love, na assignment wey carry spiritual consequence join.

Our campus love scatter everywhere, people no gree rest. Dem dey always look, dey gossip, but e no send. Everyday, he dey bring breakfast come meet me, dey use new style. I give am scarf, lie say na me knit am, and for im face wey dey always calm, I see real happiness.

Na so dem dey talk for class, "Omo, na love dey worry those two." Seyi dey carry food, dey buy suya for evening, dey show care wey dey melt my heart.

Im love pure and strong.

I never see guy wey go cook indomie, boil egg, add Titus, come package am with orange juice, just for morning class. The thing dey sweet me, but e dey pain small say the story no go favour me last last.

For second year, he use prize money from competition carry me go amusement park. Under firework, we kiss. He serious, but im ear turn red. I tease am say he even pure pass me, he come bite me back.

That amusement park moment na real movie scene. The firework loud, my heart dey race, Seyi dey shake small but still dey form strong man. Na so he peck me for cheek, I tease am, "Na wa o, see as your ear dey red like tomato." He vex, bite me small, we just dey laugh like pikin.

He say, "Morayo, when we marry, we fit carry our daughter come amusement park."

I ask why.

He hug me, lower im voice for my ear, "Because na here we kiss first."

As he talk am, I feel goosebumps for my skin. Na so I hug am, dey smell im cologne, dey imagine future wey I sabi say no go happen.

I hug am back, dey form innocent. "No o, I mean, how you sure say na daughter we go get? Wetin if na son?"

Im blush reach im neck, he dey stammer, "S-son self dey okay, but daughter go sweet pass."

The way im voice dey shake, e be like say cold dey catch am. I just dey laugh, dey hold im hand tight.

This Seyi touch me. He dey give, dey give, and every time, I dey force myself make I no lose guard for im love.

E hard o, but every time I see am, na so my heart dey do drumbeat. I dey always remind myself say I gats finish my mission. Person no dey chop breakfast two times for the same table.

I know say we no get future. Male lead always end up with female lead.

No matter the love, script na script. Even if I pour all my heart, the thing wey go happen go still happen.
