All d while, i kept an eye out for Mercy. Happily i noticed dat s bald man had disappeared. Mercy was on her own, my chance to talk to her came as we stepped into d arrival lounge. Again i deliberately delayed leaving the customs loungeafter completing all formalities until she was right beside me, she looked even more adorableas she pushed the trolley that bore her luagage.mercy: hi charles. Waitin for some1?
Charles: yes, i was actually waiting for u
Mercy: me? What for?It occured to me that she was being deliberatelyevasive.
Charles: listen mercy, since our last discussion in the plane, i ve been dying to know who u ar and hw u came to know so much abt me.For a moment, i thought she hadnt heard my last utterance.
Mercy: i do hope there z someone here to recieve me.
Charles: u promised to talk about it when we arrive lagos. Why ar u so evasive?I saw her lips tighten like one trying to hold backan angry outburst, then she smiled.
Mercy: okay, i know i promised to talk abt it, but u can see i am in a hurry.
Charles: what abt letting me have ur contact and address. I could stop by one of these days. Then, we would have all the time to talk.
Mercy: no, i cant do dat, see am leaving for PH almost immediately. Thats were i live for now. I only visit lagos occasionally.
Charles: so wat do we do nw. I nid to see u again.I was beginning to sound desperate. I just hope she hadnt noticed it.
