When Love Travels - Episode 1
There are few ghettos in Enugu state, Nigeria, where the only visible difference between night and day was the exit of the sun and the presence of the moon. Kundulo Street is one of such. Night hours are just as vibrant and lively, as during the day.
The stench that emanated from the slums, which was next to Mama Ebuka’s restaurant could make someone puke at the point of inhaling it. But not for the residents of Kundulo Street, who were already used to the stench . In fact, customers gladly waited in queue to eat Mama Ebuka’s meals. The local restaurant was the heart of the ghetto. It was just four blocks away from Ken’s house.
Ken’s abode was the oldest building in the Kundulo Street. It was the residence of a late notorious criminal, Jekwu, who terrorized the entire Enugu state. The house had just one window, whose glass was broken halfway and replaced by thick blue leather. Ken’s old friend once described his living room as ramshackle. Ken’s roommate, Caterpillar, was offended by that description, but Ken knew that description was not far from the truth. Robbers once visited his house some months back. There was absolutely nothing reasonable to cart away with.
“Which kin poverty be dis?!” One of the robbers ranted. He continued “I no even see matches to light my cigar

. God forbid bad thing! Tueh!”
When they left, Ken and his friend, Caterpillar, laughed till they slept off. If there was some award for the poorest fellow in Kundulo Street, they will definitely bag the trophy.
On this day, Ken’s girlfriend visited. There was something unusual about her mood. She came to break up with him.
“Aria, I just need some time. I’m ‘this’ close to getting a job. Just some more time babe”
“Ken I can’t give what I don’t have”. Her phone’s ring tone interrupted their discussion.
“Hello. I’m doing good babe. That would be awesome! I’ll be there in an hour time. Later dear”. She ended the phone call.
“Aria, please I’m not saying you shouldn’t have another man. I’m just saying gimme a chance to...”
“Ken just stop!” she cuts in. “This relationship no longer makes me happy. I’m sorry Ken. I wish you all the best”.
She turns to leave before Ken could utter another word. It was the only way she could successfully break up with him. The last time she attempted to break up with Ken, she was drawn by his handsomeness. Despite the fact that poverty had dealt him severe punches, he still managed to look handsome. His well-built body was another thing that charmed her. She’ll miss how he often lifted her up, swirled her around playfully and kiss her.
Those thoughts somehow made her change her mind. That night they had great sex. But this time was different. She was hell-bent on leaving him.
Ken had finally lost Aria. This was going to be the saddest day of his life…or maybe not!
An hour later of the same day…to be continued
