My mother was a teacher then and teachers can be posted to any village within the state I met Tunji, Adeola, and Rejoice four of us belongs to the same caliber, they are my cartel those days.
Tunji happens to be my neighbor and a teachers child like me and rejoice and Adeola are teacher child too but we do not live together.
Four of us are very closed, we seat in the same row and our seat is adjacent to each other, no teacher can separate us because they all know how close we were to each other, most times after school we go to each other's house and each parent cook for us to eat, if it is my turn to come to my house my mother must prepare us what to eat and the likes.
Rejoice has a younger sister her name is Mary, Mary happens to be a lousy and senseless girl so we do not relate with and moreover we are not in the same class.
One evening Tunji Mum came to our quarters and told my Mum that she has been transfer to Lagos because Tunji's father based in Lagos, he is an engineer in Lagos and the mother worked her transfer to Lagos to stay with him there, I overheard their conversation but pretended not to hear because I will miss Tunji alot.
The next weekend which happens to be on Friday, Tunji's mum is packing their luggages into a vehicle though Tunji told us about it on Wednesday, We all gather in Tunji's apartment to helped them packed that day and we cried our eyes out, we really missed Tunji and our friendship remain three rejoice, Adeola and I.
Same story happens to Adeola not even up to five months when Tunji left and Adeola too came up with the same issue, I was destabilized gearing such news from her too, how can you leave us just like that, that packed out of the town too and I was left with rejoice.
The bond between rejoice and I became so strong that we never allow third party in our friendship, we do everything together, she will sleep over at my place most times and I do same at her place as well, she shared everything together and things were going on smoothly between us.
One day my Mother called me and told me she has been transfer from the town to another town but within the state and rejoice came to me same day that her Mother got transferred to and I realized that we are going to leave other, we left the town to settle to where my mother was posted to and same as theirs and we lost connection with each other because it is not the time of mobile phone,so there is no how I can communicate with her.
Some years back I found Tunji and Adeola through the help of Facebook and we connected back but I was unable to get rejoice. But as fate will have it I was able to find Mary, can you remember Mary... Rejoice junior sister, I was happy when she message me, I quickly replied and text her to send me rejoice number and Facebook handle.
Hmmmm, to my greatest surprised she told me rejoice is no more, that she died has a result of accident, she said she was on her way coming from NYSC when she had an accident and died, I cried and cried and cried. Everyone in our house felt it because rejoice was a lovely and cool headed girl, she assist with house chores, not a lazy type. I pray she find peace eternally, I really missed her.
