The assassin; a series.

1pm at noon, I stood by the water side with multiple coats that made me uncomfortable. Of all places, why here? Ranti omo enitionse never rang so much bells in my ears until now. In all honesty, I never thought I would one day stand to study the motion of the waves. The song; so will I, played over and over again in my ears. I finally turned off my Bluetooth headphones, to listen to the wind, to stand in awe of how the sky preceeds the move of the Almighty.
Hey, I heard a voice called out. I knew that voice; it was his. Hi, how you doing? I asked as he extended his arms for a hug. Long day? He questioned. No, the day barely started. On break, he asked again. No mahn, I just resumed. Weird..

He responded. Yeah, I had a long night tho, I faked a smile. It's nice to see you again. I assume school is out of session, he asked. Well, it is what it is, you know. (To be honest, I have found myself in the well web, I have the ability to repeat the well word alongside the you know word, I cannot help it). Ice cream? He asked. No, it's cold out, I would pass. You wanna have lunch, he demanded. No, I had something before stepping out, welcome back to town, I said in conclusion. Oh, it's just for the holidays, he replied. How long are you gonna be here? I asked. Couple of more days. Oh, I see. He looked at me, I have seen him stare like that before, I never liked it. So, you didn't want to meet on Saturday? Why? I have plans, I responded. I just wanted to say I am sorry, he said. I came here to .... Hey, hey, I stopped him. It's alright. I have forgiven you, you think I would be out in a freaking -7°c by a river side to throw hugs and express love if I haven't? Man, you know me too well. Plus, it's been 4years now or what? I am still sorry, he said. Well heck yeah, you should be. I think what we had was never about you, it was about me, learning, becoming, I needed you as a base. Anyways, I got to go. I will see you some other time. As I turned to take my leave, I heard him say, you are still cold. Well, it is cold outside, I responded. Your emotions, that's what I mean. Oh, I turned, cold is a very strong word and uhmm, I think the fact that you chose the isolated northern part of the country to tell me, this must really matter to you. Well. I have to get back to work. You said school is out of session, he called out. Well, being a volunteer in this field doesn't mean I deal with school children alone, this is kaduna, everyone is going haywire. Goodbye, mahn. Call me by my name, for once, please. Alrighty, goodbye seyi, don't forget to rest in peace. Before he could ask what I meant, the bullets from the sniper's gun hit him, well, I tried not to see this scene, but he held me too long. Goodbye for real this time.
