1999

LIZ and her course mates had gone for an excursion in the government house to see how it was enquiring questions and airing news live.

She'd just gotten back and received a warm welcome from Greg.

"So how was it?" He finally said as she ate the last grain of rice.

"It was exciting Greg. We saw a lot of politicians I could hardly count. Ms Mariam was there! The famous news caster!" She said excitedly.

"Okay this is all boring me out. What did you bring for me?"

"Oh, don't be silly Greg. It was just indoors. It's not like I traveled or stayed away for a long time" she said; "...oh, and your food is nice" she remarked.

"Thanks. Courtesy of my cousin sister Lisa" he said taking the plates away.

"I'll like to meet her"

"Oh, you'll like her" Greg said from the kitchen; "I have a party request to offer you. Will you come with me? It'll be thrilling" he said sitting beside her.

"Greg what do you think? My final year exam is coming soon, I don't need any distractions" she said, preparing to leave.

"That's why I'm inviting you. So that we can have fun together for the very last time" he said.

"Don't be silly Greg, we'll still have fun" she said.

"When you leave, I'll still have more years to stay before I graduate. I'll miss your company" he said gazing at her eyes.

"Meghan is around. I doubt you'll miss me much" she replied, then with a difficult sigh, she said; "ookay, I'll come"

"Yes..." Greg rejoiced.

"But only if Uncle Hugh agrees" she reminded him.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine" he said as she stood to leave.
