She wrote;

I saw my primary school teacher at Agbara few minutes ago and pretended I didn’t see her. She was hawking and looked like an old woman. I didn’t want us to see each other. I didn’t want her to see me looking like that but she held me and called me by my sister’s name.

“Ruth right?” She asked

I said I wasn’t Ruth and told her my name. I hugged her and she held on to the rubber on her head with one hand and hugged me with the other. She asked after my parents and siblings and I told her they’re fine.

“I see you a lot but before I call you, you’ve crossed. I was about crossing when I saw you coming and said I should ask if you’re the person I think you are”

“It’s me ooo”

“I stay at magbon now. Been staying there for 5 years. Moved here in 2015 after my husband died in 2012. I usually see your mom, didn’t she tell you?” I vaguely remember my mom saying aunty Evelyn’s husband died.

“She didn’t tell me” I replied

“Na here we dey hustle now ooo, me and my kids”

We talked for a while but all I could see was a woman who looked 20 years older. I remember her in primary school…she had a shiny black skin and moved with a swing in her hips. I tried to reconcile that person with the woman I was seeing now but it was hard. She looked so unkempt. Her once shiny skin was now faded. I could see the tears and fade on her shirt and the blackheads on her face.

This woman was a teacher. A very good one at that. But she now hawks snacks on the road.

I wanted to ask for her account number but I didn’t. I didn’t want to embarrass her. I told her I’d be back to see her since I know her spot.
