Chapter 2 - Chapter one A cycle of Circles

It was on a busy thursday evening, after surviving several traffics. Ife And KAchi has been driving for roughly 6 hours, with Ife on the wheels. They have been living with grandma in Benin, but recently decided to relocate to Enugu to stay with Naomi. Ife has been rather moody throughout the journey, unlike kachi who is excited about moving down to Enugu. Kachi wouldnt stop smiling to the beautiful city, enjoying every view,"Hmm.. this is amazing, better than the last time we came here. Ife what do you think?" with kachi looking out at the road, Ife ignored Kachi as he kept his eyes glued to the road. kachi turned to look at him and says, "you know you have been dumb for hours?". Ife blurted out keeping a mean face while still looking away "What's that suppose to mean?". "I dont like boring people around and you know that" kachi replies. Ife looks at him disdainfully then focuses back on driving.Kachi looks away too.
After some minutes of silence, kachi speaks with euthusiasm, "I know Naomi is going to make us miss Grandma" his facial expression changes, He continues "Its been long grandma called to check on us," Pulling his phone from his pocket, "I think i should call her, it's so unlike her". kachi's eyes meets something on the road, then he bursts out laughing, Ife expresses disgust then he says "what is funny?". Kachi responds in the middle of laughter, "oh my God you didnt see that?". Ife looking confused, "see what?". kachi resplies "the fat lady that tripped". Ife says "what fat lady, What are you saying?". kachi expressions changed "wait, he is serious?" He licks his lips and continues, "are you sure you looking at the road?". Ife snapped, "and we arent dead by now". Kachi licks his lips again, adjusts on his seat and says softly, "are you sure you are ok Ife?". Ife immediately flares up,as he still maintains his eyes on the road, "Oh quiet, you are not the one that has been driving for hours, I am trying to focus on driving us to our home, the least you can do for me is shut up". Kachi Blurted, "Abeg no dey shout for me, are you mad". Ife gave him a sharp mean look, Kachi looks away, then mutters "abeg keep your eyes on the road i still love my life". Ife hisses and looks away and continues driving.

At a big supermarket, people kept trouping in and out the stores, Kachi who has come to just stroll round the store happened to get struck by this figure standing infront, also backing him. The lady infront looked familiar but he could only be sure if he came close. So he licked his lips and came closer tapping her at by the shoulder, she turned, now facing him. Kachi couldnt help by staring at the stunning young lady. She got a beautiful lips with tiny catchy eyes. Sensing her irritation, Kachi composed himself and said, "Oh I am so sorry, I thought you were someone i knew". She smiles, her eyes got tinier, she says "Okay pardoned", She makes to turn away but kachi spoke again to get her attention, "what are you doing standing in a spot?". She answered, "not that this is any of your business, but I am waiting for someone". Kachi says, "Me perhaps?". she giggles and replies, "you wish". They both laughs, she says, "You are funny". KAchi Replies looking into her eyes, "And you are nice and beautiful". She looks away, KAchi says again, "you know normal people would just say thank you and not blush". She blurted while still smiling, "I am not blushing". Kachi rubs his chin and looks at his wristwatch and said, "It is already 9pm, I could drop you and the person you are waiting for off". She replies, "what if its my brother". Kachi smirks and spoke in spanish accent, "I am not ante brother, I will drop him off too". She smiles and said, "what? are you trying to impress me?. KAchi grins and asked, "Who are you?". she replies, "I am Muna". He replies, "Muna where is your brother?. She pointed behind "there, he is the guy talking to the lady on blue Tshirt.". Kachi smiles on seeing them and mutters, "doing what i do best". Muna looks at him and says, "Really?, what you do best". Kachi smiles again replies, "I was just thinking out loud". Muna responds, "FYI, that is my brother and my best friend Alex,and not what you are thinking". Kachi snaps, "I only think you should go home its late". Muna replies, "who do you think you are?, my dad?". Kachi answered, "I am not, and that is what I am grateful for, Because I would be forbidden to admire you". Those words got Muna smiling, Kachi says again, "It is sad i have to say goodnight at this point". Muna replies, "are you going already?". He responds with a seductive grin, " do you miss me already?". Muna shys off and says, "just go away goodbye". Kachi facial expression changed, he felt cold, sensing his behavior, she says again smiling, "What you dont wanna go again?". Kachi replies softly, "I hate goodbyes", licks his lips and continues, "rather say, see you again". Muna smiles deeper, Kachi face was emotionless now, he taps her by the shoulder and walks away. Muna kept staring until he went out of sight as she wondered how awkward the night could get.



Ife has been sitting in the car waiting for kachi who went inside the store for quite some minutes ago. Kachi finally came in wearing a mean face, banging the car door loud. Ife got irritated at the noise he yelled, "what was that for", Kachi didnt respond, Ife spoke again, "you said you wanted to get Pizza". Kachi blurted out in anger, "Are you this dumb, does this store look like where you can get pizza. I have been sitting for hours in this stupid car. I needed to stretch ok". Ife sensed his behavior and said finally, "I dont know what happened to you in that store, but who ever put you in this mood got my respect". Kachi hisses, mutters "bastard", and looks away. Ife started the engine and drove off.
