Everywhere was filled with people going and coming in.
The cab my dad hired finally stopped at murtala Mohammed airport located in Ikeja Lagos.
I am going with the first flight which is moving by 9:00am and here I am at 7:30am, omg I am very happy.
They started uploading everything down, I mean my dad, mom and my elder brother who has been shaking his head since at my parent Park.
I decided to use the opportunity to look around.
Wow, this place is beautiful!
I have always wished to travel out but I didn’t know it would be this early.
If the airport is like this. How will an outside country like it?

“Mama don’t worry.

“Promise?”she asked, almost in tears, which broke my heart.
“I promise.”I said , hu-gging while we cried on each other’s shoulders.
“Daniella adetoye!”I heard my name being called.

Chapter 3
My flight took over immediately at 9:00am.
I stared outside throu-ghthe wisdom thinking about family as all the struggle we have pas-sed throu-ghcame rushing in, I cried hu-gging myself and promised to make my family proud.
“Miss, what would you like to take?”a lady walked up to me and asked.
“Nothing is okay!”I replied to her as she walked away.
“Why don’t you take anything or you want garri?”I heard a voice from my back, I turned immediately to who it belonged to?
two guys, I mean twins.
They are identities which means they are twins, they are so cute but wait who says that thing about them?
“In case you are finding it difficult to know who says that, it was him!”one of them finally spoke up as he was reading my mind.
“Common bro you asked me to say it!”the other one who sat by the left said, hitting him lightly.
“Lair!
I never asked you to tell her, I just said maybe she prefers garri?”the one sitting on the right side said.
I watch as the two of them argue about me, so they have been watching my mum say garri is my best food.
I felt embr@ced as I turned away from them.
“We are sorry!”they said at one once but I didn’t turn back.
“You must be the scholarship student?”one of them asked me while I nodded without giving them a gaze.
“Ohhh???
Good luck!”they said at once and continued their charting.
Few minutes later I began to feel sleepy so I rested my head on the wisdom and slept off.

“You know I like your spirit,”she said, holding my hand.
“Miss Gagari, open your eyes because this is reality!”
