*EPISODE EIGHT*
“Oh thank God, I made it… I made it” Mercy said and she kept singing and jumping as she opened the door and entered. She went straight on her knee to pray to God. While she was praying, the door opened.
“Mercy” her mother said as she dropped her bag and was unbuckling her sandals. Mercy stood up and jumped on her.
“Okay, it’s like someone has forgotten she has added weight and she is leaning on a old woman” Her mother said as they both laughed
“I am so sorry mum. I am just so happy, welcome ma” Mercy said
“it’s fine. So share the good news with me” her mother said as she was smiling
“Okay…. mummy, you know I told you this morning that another list for Nysc Batch came out. So, when I got to Tolu’s house. I decided to check out to know if I am among those going. Lo and behold, my name is among those going with this batch”. Mercy said happily
“Wow…. congratulation dear. Corper wee, I am so happy for you my dear. So where were you posted to?. Her mother asked happily and anxiously
“Mummy, guess where? She said as she was smiling”
“Ohhh…. Mercy…. hmmm, ibadan state” her mother said as they both laughed
“ No… I was posted to Enugu state. Mercy said as she was still smiling ..
“Wow…. is it the same place Tolu was posted to” her mother asked immediately
“No….. she was posted to Edo state. She said as her mother smiled faintly
