(Notice to the readers: if u don't know Jungle or B language, you might not understand this paragraph).

It looked very much like Jungle language but instead of the A's you would see in Jungle language it was Z's. Wait a minute! on a closer look, this is Jungle language but opposite, instead of vowels to numbers and A added to consonants, it was consonants to numbers and Z added to vowels, wow just wow very intelligent 😲😯

I set to decode the letter, after an hour I was done💃. The letter read thus:

DEAR OBADIAH;

I'M REALLY SORRY TO LEAVE ON A SHORT NOTICE, VERY PAINED THAT I CAN'T EVEN BE ABLE TO HAND THIS LETTER TO YOU MYSELF AND TO KISS YOU GOODBYE😪. I HOPE THE GUY I PAID TO DELIVER IT TO YOU, DELIVERS IT IN GOOD SHAPE. I TOLD HIM TO GET IT TO YOU BEFORE I LEAVE FOR THE AIRPORT BECAUSE ONCE THE PLANE TAKES OFF MY NUMBER WOULDN'T BE AVAILABLE ANYMORE BUT DON'T WORRY, I'LL MAKE SURE I CALL YOU WHEN I LAND, IT WOULD BE A NEW NUMBER BECAUSE I WILL BE CHANGING MY LINE.

I DIDN'T KNOW MY MUM HAD BOOKED A FLIGHT FOR US, I WAS RUSHED THIS MORNING NOT GETTING A CHANCE TO MAKE A CALL, THAT'S WHY I'M WRITING. EVEN THOUGH WE WENT OUT YESTERDAY AND I HAVEN'T LEFT THE COUNTRY YET, I FEEL LIKE I'VE SPENT 3 YEARS AWAY FROM YOU, I MISS YOU SO MUCH.

YOU KNOW HOW STRICT MY MUM CAN BE WHEN IT GETS TO BUSINESS, SHE HAD A BUSINESS CALL FROM THE STATES, WE HAD TO MAKE AN IMPROMPTU DEPARTURE, I'M REALLY GONNA MISS YOU. PLEASE CALL ME ONCE YOU READ, I DOUBT MY MUM WILL LET ME MAKE A CALL IN THE CAR ON OUR WAY TO THE AIRPORT.

I LOVE YOU AND I ALWAYS WILL.

YOUR BETTER SIDE, VANESSA.

Judging from what I just read, this letter was meant to get to the supposed person before the end of today unless, who knows, the end for them¿¿ The receiver might not have known about the journey, would be painful to find out that his girlfriend just left without saying a word, so sad. And the delivery person, what an irresponsible person, how can he misplace this kind of important letter and he was paid, irresponsible‼️

I quickly dressed up folded the paper back inside the envelope and headed out, wanted to try and see if fate could allow this couple's relationship not to end like this. I don't have a plan on what to do, I just headed out back to where I picked the letter hoping to see the delivery person probably looking for the letter. I just hope I see him 😔😔.

I half jogged and half ran to the place I picked the letter, I didn't see any one who was looking for anything. I went to a provision store close by, greeted the owner and tried in the best way I could to ask if she had seen anyone looking for something, she said she hadn't, she asked if I had picked anything up, I thought for a moment and said no. I just thanked her and left.

I took a walk down the street opposite mine, didn't see anyone who could be a delivery person, I headed back home. At home, I laid on the bed and started thinking of what next to do, I can't go about asking for Vanessa or Obadiah, they might not if be living close by. Vanessa who seems to be from a rich family, they can't live in my street or the next, she would have probably been living in an estate with her family.

    That's quite a unique code in the letter. Reminds me of some tech puzzles I've solved. It's a shame about the delivery mix-up. Do you think there are ways to ensure important messages like this are delivered correctly, without relying on potentially unreliable people? Also, how would you feel if you were in Obadiah's shoes, waiting to hear from Vanessa?
