Dawn of Love - Episode 7

 

"Oh my daughter, you have grown into a beautiful woman, you were just a baby the last time I saw you" the dean said smiling broadly like he would tear his lips. 
Zainab did not remember meeting him but was not surprised since most elderly people basically said the same thing on seeing her.
"Thank you sir" she replied timidly clutching her credentials encased in a clear bag to her chest
"How is your father?" He asked
"He is fine sir" 
"Okay so come with me let's get you registered" he said standing up from his seat
She followed behind him as they stepped out of the office and walked down the newly painted corridor. She could see other students on queue as she walked in with the dean . Everyone in the room stood to greet him and in 15 minutes she was done with the entire registration that took people days. Strolling down the corridors, she toured the place, imagining been lectured in the lecture classes she passed, she smiled to herself feeling fulfilled. She checked her time again, letting Abdul drive her here was gradually beginning to feel like a mistake, she wondered when he would be back but deciding to make use of the time and give herself a tour, she strolled to the white two-story building that stood majestically adjacent the faculty of medical sciences. In front of the building was a large sculpture, of a pestle and mortar

. Boldly written on top of its walls was Pharmaceutical Sciences, she wondered within herself why they had to have such a majestic building while medical sciences had classroom like buildings.

"Let's go, you talk to much, I don't want to waste any more time" Princewill said to Bola who was busy chatting with some other guy. They were almost done with their registration but had to properly finish in their faculty.
Princewill walked hastily, determined to finish with the stressful registration today. Bola walked behind him chatting with some girl he just met, she was in pharmacy too.
Not looking up, he hurriedly entered the faculties main entrance hitting the person in front of him who was trying to come out. It was Zainab. Her clear bag fell to the floor, her papers flying out.

. He immediately apologized as he instinctively picked them up.
"Are you blind? Why would you just rush into a place that way?" She said angrily, letting him pick everything from the floor.
"Am very sorry I was... I'm...in a hurry" Princewill said apologetically
"Sorry for yourself" she snapped and hissed, looking at him disgustingly, as she snatched her file and walked away.
He stood there by the door wondering how a person could be so rude, he apologized, besides its an accident why does she have to be so bad mannered he thought to himself.
Zainab felt a little bad for the way she handled things a while ago, the young man was not to blame she was also not watching her way. All this is Abdul's fault, waiting was never her thing maybe because she really didn't have much to wait for, everything was always available when she needs it and his taking time was beginning to anger her. She walked back to the faculty of medical sciences and stood in front of it when Abdul drove in and parked right in front of her. From her face it was clear she was angry already but he knew very well how to appease her. She opened the door, got in and banged the door, saying nothing to him as she angrily fiddled with the sit belt trying to fix it in its hole by her left side. Abdul just kept watching her, smiling mischievously as she struggled with the sit belt.
"The sit belt is not responsible for me taking long" he said chuckling
She shot him a look which made him laugh out loud.
"Anyways, I thought I should get something for you" he said handing her a plate of Vanilla ice cream which would always do the trick, it has always been her favorite.
"Is this is suppose to be a bribe for keeping me here waiting, because it won't work."
"So buying ice cream for my baby sis is now a crime, okay fine I know who else to give this too"  he replied taking it back.
She hurriedly grabbed the plate for herself. He laughed, seeing how much she could not control herself.
"So I hope you did not crash the car?" She asked already licking the ice cream.
"If I was the one always waiting for a driver to take me around because my sweet lovely daddy would not let me learn how to drive, then I would answer that" he replied with a smirk on his face. She playfully slapped his shoulder.
"How did your registration go?" He asked now starting the engine.
"Fine" she replied scrapping the ice cream plate that was already half way gone.
"So you are now officially a student, nice. Well, If at all you have any problem, don't hesitate to come talk to me and if any boy dares bugging you especially one of this wretched rascals just let big brother know" 
"I don't like it when you talk about people like that." She hissed.
They drove out of the school's gate, turning right and speeding homeward. She remained silent all through the drive back home
