SUSAN

Susan paces up and down her room anxiously, she sits at the edge of her bed staring straight at her laptop which is on her top dresser. One look at the time on her phone, she stands up to check out how she looks for the hundredth time. Her mother had been talking to her all week about her friends son who was traveling in from the United States, and according to her, he is single and planning to take a wife before he travels back to the States. They had fixed 12:00 pm to talk on video call so they could get to know themselves better and she has equally been dressed and waiting anxiously since 9.00 am

As the clock struck 12:00 pm, Susan sits on her

dressing stool while she opened her laptop,

tapping her foot uncontrollably waiting for his call or message notification, minutes turned several hours, and no call nor message come through ”Did something happen to him? Or am I cursed? Does he hate me? God! Whats happening? ” Earlier that day, she had put a call through her friends to prepare them for the special announcement she was about to share, its starting to look like there won be any announcement at all. Her laptop beeps, she rushes to open it but sees it was a message from Tade ”We are at our spot babe, bring

the juice unspilled ” she disappointedly shuts her

laptop.
