They did not meet again until almost eighteen months at the Harrington Dock in Liverpool. For it happened that they were returning to Nigeria the same day on the same boat.
It was a cargo boat carrying twelve passengers and a crew of fifty. When Obi arrived at the dock the other passengers had all embarked and completed their custom formalities. The short bald-headed customs officer was very friendly. He began by asking Obi whether he had had a happy stay in England. Did he go to the University in England?
He must have found the weather very cold.
'I didn't mind the weather very much in the end, 'said Obi, who had learned that Englishman might grumble about his weather but did not expect the foreigner to join in. When we went to the Lounge Obi nearly fell over himself at the sight of Clara. She was talking to an elderly woman and young Englishman. Obi sat with them and introduced himself. The elderly woman whose name was Mrs. Wright was returning to Freetown. The young man was called Macmillan, an administrative officer in northern Nigeria. Clara introduced herself as Miss Okeke. 'I think we have met before, 'said Obi. Clara looked surprised and somewhat hostile. 'At the N.C.N.C. dance in London.''I see, she said, with as much interest as if she had. | Translation - Indonesian
Mereka tidak bertemu lagi sampai hampir delapan belas bulan di Harrington Dock di Liverpool. Karena kebetulan mereka kembali ke Nigeria pada hari yang sama dengan kapal yang sama.
Itu adalah kapal kargo yang membawa dua belas penumpang dan lima puluh awak. Ketika Obi tiba di dermaga, penumpang lain telah naik dan menyelesaikan formalitas adat mereka. Petugas bea cukai berkepala pendek itu sangat ramah. Dia mulai dengan menanyakan Obi apakah dia senang tinggal di Inggris. Apakah dia kuliah di Universitas di Inggris?
Dia pasti merasa cuacanya sangat dingin.
'Saya tidak terlalu mempermasalahkan cuaca pada akhirnya, ' kata Obi, yang telah mengetahui bahwa orang Inggris mungkin menggerutu tentang cuacanya tetapi tidak mengharapkan orang
asing itu bergabung. Ketika kami pergi ke Lounge Obi hampir jatuh di pandangan Clara. Dia sedang berbicara dengan seorang wanita tua dan pemuda Inggris. Obi duduk bersama mereka dan memperkenalkan dirinya. Wanita tua yang bernama Ny. Wright, sedang kembali ke Freetown. Pemuda itu bernama Macmillan, seorang petugas administrasi di Nigeria utara. Clarain memperkenalkan dirinya sebagai Nona Okeke. 'Kurasa kita pernah bertemu sebelumnya,' kata Obi. Clara tampak terkejut dan agak bermusuhan. 'Di pesta dansa NCNC di London.''Begitu, katanya, dengan minat yang sama seperti dia. |
