*CALABASH*

EPISODE 1

There is nothing more exciting than completing tertiary institution and being posted as a National Service Personnel. You see the whole world around you. You now begin to understand the word maturity. I know ladies feel extraordinarily great compared to guys. They will do everything humanly possible to get the whole Central Market, as well delay's boutique in their rooms.
I wonder where they get those monies from because they never seem to get broke. They hardly complain of financial constraint,well,if they do,then that might be among themselves.

I was fortunate to have been posted to a place very far from my village. After all, they wouldn't get to poke their noses into my affairs. If I needed anything, I would rather reach them. That's the perfect dream of every graduate.
Service to my nation begun on the 1st of September,  so I had to leave to my supposed station earlier than the actual date,  and put some things together.
I got there very late and very exhausted. It seemed some people had already reported and were occupying other rooms because I was hearing voices.
I met one gorgeous lady who greeted me. She had a melodious voice. I couldn't but respond even before the greeting ended.
That was how I made my first friend.

"Please,pardon me. Are you a service personnel?", I asked.
She answered affirmatively. I went ahead to ask of her name. Wow, such a sweet name,  Esparanza.
I pointed my room to her and she also did same. I guessed she was on her way out,so I left her to my room.

While going, I turned and shouted to her, "don't forget to check on me when you return."
I got to my room feeling so tired. I managed to put some two or three things together.
I don't know how I slept but the next thing I saw was it was past 6:45am. I jumped out of my bed and continued with my arrangement of things. I laid my mattress with my nice bedsheet. This was one thing I hardly did. Right after I was done, I heard a knock. I responded and rushed to the door.
Behold! That was an angel.
"Yes, hello", I said. She replied and continued, "I live next door. Actually, I heard some noise this morning from your room so I came to welcome you,now that I know there is an occupant in this room".
That was thoughtful of her. It seemed all the ladies around were nice, but for her,  she looked classy and fabulous.

"Anyway, I'm Achiaa. Don't hesitate to call me anytime you need my help",she said and left.
Just as I was about to enter my room, I saw Esparanza come out of her room. I pretended not to have seen her.
"Hello, can I enter?" She said.
I had to pretend and go like,"Who is there please?" I rushed to the door to help her in.
"You disappointed me last night. I sat here waiting for you to turn up but you didn't,  or you came late?", I lied.
She was a nice girl but Achiaa was more beautiful and classy. I would not dare.
"I didn't come late but was thinking you would be tired by then,  so you needed rest. Before I forget,what's your name please?", she asked.
"Please" paa? Boss, forget that. Let's not be formal here. I'm Akwasi. I was really tired though,  but I'm sure your presence would have taken the stress off. I only needed your company since I'm new here. Though we all new, you have spent some days here. But, never mind. You are here now. Will you help me prepare some porridge if it won't be a problem?"
She smiled and told me to wait for her. She was going to lock up her door and get back to me.
I felt very happy. Step by step, I would get close.
