Fiction: The Job Hunt’, one night stand with my boss.
This is my story, my name is Bukunmi a fresh graduate, guess what as the normal NYSC slang said, “Now the struggle continues.”
Well, no doubting it, it had been hell trying to lift up to my expectation, my family looks up to me for their daily needs, well I join prostitution, hell no! What am I thinking that’s the last thing I will think of.
Well one chill Sunday evening lying down on my bed, deep in thought, Bookoons bookoons my neighbor and my source of joy, you know now that good neighbor that will always give you food when there is no more hope.
Back to the story, I jumped up like a wounded lion, yes Jennifer what is the matter. Guess what now, oohh, tell me now am not good at guessing, just try now, okay, Hmm you are getting married I said, what don’t be ridiculous she shouted not now, I have my dream and expectations before getting married, it is not me that will be used for a punching bag.

I was very happy at last I will be able to take care of my beloved family, at night, just lying on the bed I can’t wait to see the rays of the sun I was too optimistic to go to that office my Girlfriend and good neighbor revealed to me, I was awoken from any little noise hoping it is morning.
Finally, the ray of the sun reflects through my window, at last, it was finally morning, yes I was glad the day has finally reached. I brushed my teeth quickly, take my bath and wore my best cloth and storm out of the room to meet my neighbor, She is still taking her bath hurry up it is getting late, all I wanted is to go embrace my dream.
Chill, she said to me, taking her bath to wash away all the poverty she has encountered, finally, she’s through with her bath, we both had breakfast. We hurriedly out of her room to the venue, we got to the venue, a beautiful complex, wow! I exclaimed, these is really big.
We went inside the building, Stop! Where did you think you are going? do here look like your father's compound, we froze to death behold a soldier, his eye red hot, with the meanest of face ever seen. We murmured, Sir we! we want ehm, shout up your mouth, yes sir we replied, who do you said you are looking for, i summon courage these might be my last opportunity.
Sir, we had an appointment with the boss, hmm, he looks at us okay go straight, we nodded, then turn to your left and ask reception, we thanked him and start going to the direction he gave us, well when we entered into the complex the receptionist was busy typing what only her could imagine.
Well excuse me miss, we want to.. She gesture to stop, still typing, i was angry but there was nothing i can do about it, after standing like a moron for more than 5 minutes, she looked up, yes who is the person you looking for, the boss we chorused.
Well you people should go back and come tomorrow, but we had an appointment with him, she rudely interrupted us, my friend leave my face, i was very angry and devastated God why what is my crime i lamented slowly, God do answer prayers you know, immediately a young-looking man came out from the office, ehh! what is the problem, i told him everything and then he beckons us to follow him...
