The awaited return of Mebi was quite a long wait for UC, who went to study political science, a four-year course, but medicine was a seven-year course. During that period, UC went into politics and began gaining people's trust as he started campaigning one year after joining the party, following his father's political footsteps. By three years, he was already swimming in wealth
Meanwhile, Mebi struggled with educational support, as things fell apart for him
Years passed, and a governorship election was to be held again. All the politicians campaigning had arranged a bunch of lies to present to the crowd, but UC had a better idea: "If I am elected governor, I will change Anambra for the best.
And as expected UC won the election, and was enjoying his riches
A television commercial came on,and Mebi saw a very familiar face, and looking closer he realized it was UC, his good old pal.since Uc is his friend,he hoped for his intervention, since they promised each other that they would always be there for each other
With great difficulties, and challenges, Mebi final made it to the Governors house,asking the police man to inform the Governor that his old friend was here to see him,the police still needed to confirm, so mebi decided to tell him a little secret
" tell the Governor that the world's famous doctor has come"
With doubts, the police man decided to do as he was told,but came back negative as the Governor insisted that he has no close friend, moreover a famous doctor.
Still that didn't bring down Mebi's hope,he decided to track Uc's movements and meet him when he was alone
And so came a day,he found out that the Governor would be talking a stop at a village hospital, so he traveled from school to the hospital and waited for him to come out
Twenty minutes passed,and he was coming out,Mebi swallowed his pride and even with the swamp of security, he yelled
" Uc....hey Governor Uc"
The shout attracted Everyone's attention, and also Governor Uc,who saw him,and spoke no world
As expected, Mebi out of joy and satisfaction that he finally got his attention walked over to him happily only to be stopped by guards, his face was stunned as he looked at Uc face to face
" Uc...its me,Mebi..ur friend "
With that Uc turned and walked back to his car,altering no word
" Maybe he does remember me..,or it wasn't the right time,something meant have been disturbing him"
Mebi tried to convince himself, as to he reason why Uc didn't talk to him,he just walked away, and he discided to try again,little did he know
The next day Mebi discided to Vist his construction site,hoping he would come ,and as expected, there came Uc,with his troop of police
Seeing him,Mebi stood up,awaiting for him to get close,and soon they did
Walking towards him,he noticed Uc tap one of his guard," stop him "
These words Mebi heard clearly and there he knew,he just lost his old pal,his best friend,his gist mate,his closest friend
