The music played in low tones that is not too loud nor low. The bus traveled in smooth swerve, the comfort was undeniable in the luxury bus. Prieto felt it all worth the price. In the mean time, he sunk into the sit, looking out through the window at the side ways bushes, as they responded to the speed impact of the transit, traveling steadily against the blowing wind. The bushes trembled in it force. Prieto remembered the feelings he had, whenever he goes to the river at his village, when the rain want to fall heavily.
The bushes around the rivers get very wavy, at the disturbing wind. So it were at the road as the bus traveled in it speed, as it drove close to them. The mood was right, the music playing made the traveling easy. The traveler's knoding and smiling, in the bus at the comfort the Providence the luxury bus contain. The drivers movement, was going on at a steady pace. Prieto reminisced about the good time he had with Susan, the other night. It's was an amazing throwback to think of, he was happy about the feelings they had. The most surprising thought about the whole idea is knowing that everything happened, in quick section.
Meeting together with Susan was remotely, he never even thought he could take because of her, stayed back in Asaba in two days. All was for the chances and beside, he felt he could at least have a memoriable moment, with someone willing to share her time. And everything went unbelievably real. Prieto reached for the wallet he placed behind his back pocket, and brought out the paper he wrote Susan's phone number, and he smiled to himself. Knowing fully well that as soon as he gets to Jos, they will be talking again on the phone, after he gets his sim card activated. He appreciated the good times they had in just few days, the way Susan cried at his departure, proved the evidence of time well spent in good attempt. It's not just an empty entanglement, but a timely give away of trial which goes beyond something simple, to a worthwhile experience.
The refreshing feelings of giving something attention and getting reciprocated, made his mind build with another level of confidence. Nothwitstanding, he wondered if all the experience could have happened, without the cash he got from his uncle Tony. Anyway, life sure happens. Prieto thought to himself; and he knew the chance came presenting itself, on natural cause. His feelings kept romancing in the effect of the passing moment of passion. He then hope to keep her number, not only keeping it written in a slit of paper alone, but taking the initiative to have it written on his personal diary in the bag. If not he could loose his wallet, same way he lost Tina's number, at the Onoku river which was kept inside his former wallet, with his university identity card. This cut Prieto's relativity with Tina's expectations away.
Therefore, not been cautious about Susan's case after the former experience, would mean another loss. Prieto decided, to make her contact safe by every means and ways he felt. Especially, not intending to have Susan's number only on the phone, but also to have it written down in his diary. So far as it seems, the bus had already traveled for two hours on the road. Prieto's cautiousness came back alive to the bus, the air was well conditioned. The awaken sense of comfort, in the luxury bus still spoke loudly. He basked in the rave of the trill. Prieto tried to look at the driver from the distance he was sitting, he saw him manoveire the wheels of the bus in good excitement. Prieto sat relaxed, at the section of his sit feeling comfortable. At this time, the bus had almost traveled for several hours, and the driver already made half of the main distance to Jos. It's was getting to evening already, as the time already registered at 5:30pm. The journey Prieto anticipated has a challenge, had turn an express convenient.
Sooner an announcement was made in the bus, that in some couple of few hours the bus will get to Jos, and all passengers who wish to get some refreshments should get ready, as the luxury bus will be stopping by, at a place of recreation and refreshments for 30min. Prieto felt good at the announcement, and he was equally excited about the whole idea in a different environment. After some 20minutes drive, the driver pulled over at a particular spot at one of the northern state, he made a decent park at a good looking environment. An announcement was made again to everyone in the bus, for those who wish to buy any refreshments and to those who wish to ease themselves, to get down from the bus as the exite door was opened. The passengers from the front and back sit on the bus, started getting up to get down from the bus to either ease up themselves or probably go for refreshments. Prieto got up from his sit to join the rest of the passengers, who already dropped down from the vehicle.
Some few passengers were still sitting in the bus, with less Interest about getting down. Prieto walked pass them and dropped down, walking close to one of the restaurant to get some chilled drink, soft drink. He looked around and saw all kinds of people, from other sphere of life dressed in different ethnic ways inside the restaurant having a good time. He only stayed put, drank the cola and took some meat pie, on the attempt of not wanting to eat heavy, so he doesn't feel pressed as the bus hit the road. Several people were in and outside the recreation premises, sharing different kinds of interest to their needs. After the stated period for refreshments, all passengers started drifting back into the bus, Prieto was watching and looking as they all started going back one after the other. He stood up from the restaurant to join the rest of them.
As he got to the bus to make his way through the entrance, he discovered that almost everyone, had already took position on their sit. He passed by and located his own section, which was almost at the end of the bus. He got there, the space was already waiting for him to take back. Prieto sat up in it. As the announcement went out, to ensure everyone was already on board. Another transit team came walking through the bus to confirm, if all space had been occupied, after observing and affirmed, the exit and all doors leading to the luxurious bus was closed.
