Blind Date

Lead image

Some very crazy things are happening here in my domain, a few distance from here, some very nonchalant boys wielding powerful weapons are on the rampage. Trouble started when some secondary school pupils fought over #100 ($0.25) tongue extent that they stabbed themselves with broken bottle.

One thing led to the other, they reported the case to the police and were arrested. At the police station, since they were minors, they needed to be bailed, so a teachers, one whom the boys respected so much came to their aid.

A few days later, the same teachers accosted the boys in the school farm smoking hemp, he got so mad with them that he punished them so ruthlessly.

After the school hours, the boys went against the teacher and shot him dead.

Painful right? That's the crazy world we live in.

The business of the day

A blind date. Elena never fancied it for once in her life but her friends did not want to hear a bit of it. She was twenty seven for Christ sake and needed a man in her life.

Elena Warthon had dated a lot of men both in her youth and early adulthood. To her, they were all the same; all after her father’s wealth. One of them had even ran away with a million dollars and swindled her one of her houses in Africa.

Vivy had immediately created a facebook account for her at least to make her social for once in her lifetime. Against Elena’s wish, she had sent friend requests to over a hundred men they could reach.

One by one, they had indirectly interviewed them by impersonating her. After a lot of trials, Vivy had found the perfect man for her friend.

Kelvin Aldophus was his name. He was an attorney and midnight musician in a popular underground club 909.

Elena’s eyes mopped the gallant looking man wearing a jersey. His hair was dane and curly and part of it fell across his face. The muscles on his arm threatened to burst out of his cloth. She liked his appearance and prayed he wasn’t like the others.

“A blind date . Ooh! That sounds fun.”

Vivy squealed as she searched through Elena’s clothes. She threw a powder blue dress on her.

“Something about it doesn’t feel right. A date in an underground club?”

Elena arched her eyebrow.

Her friend waved the situation off with a small laugh, assuring her that everything was going to be fine.Vivy reminded her that Kelvin Aldophus was a musician in that same club which means she was safe.

After ten minute of persuasion, Elena agreed and put on a pink blouse with faded jeans. She did her best to look as modest as she can.

The Warthon’s chauffer gave her a questioning look as she gave him the location of where she was going to. Club 909 was a place for miscreants and people with wide life. A place for prostitutes and hoodlums.

“I’m going on a date. He is an attorney” Elena replied without being asked.

As the car started off, her mind began to wonder about. what if he was a criminal who found out about my father’s wealth? or a man who rapes women and dish them off.

Elena brought out a mirror from her handbag and stared at it. She could see fear in her eyes.

“No! I can’t do this” she muttered underneath her breath.

“Driver please turn around. I mean back to the house”.

“Your date?”

The chauffer looked at her through the rear view mirror.

“Forget about it. Just take me home”.

He reversed the car and diverted to the road that led back her father’s castle. She pacified herself that another man would one day come at the right time.
