"Wow, are u serious right now? Someone sent me a message with your own number, and you said you are very sure that you didn't go out or was not with anyone that day except your friend, the person even texted me more than once, who else could it be the? Or was it a done by a mystic force? I said eyeing him. They could have been friends for years, but you never can tell what people are capable of doing. I didn't know why I strongly believed that she might have an hand in it immediately he told me she had stopped by that day. And moreover my instinct never fails me, it was just far from jealousy."I will think about it very well and , it's just so confusing, I mean, we've been friends for many years and I know her and things she's capable of doing, but this is all so confusing" he said rubbing his forehead again like he always does when he's worried."You'd better think about it fast, because it just got into my head now, I really thought you were the one" I said"Alright, please can
Dialling my auntie's number to call her, she picked up immediately it rang as if she had been on guard expecting the call. It was my dad's elder sister which had never gotten married.Rumours had it that she rejected every suitors that came her way when she was young and not only did she do that, she also said rude words to them before doing that and preferred dating married men. That was a long time ago when marriage was one thing that defined and made a woman complete. During those days women who clocked thirty without getting married were seen as failures in and kindred they hailed from, and it was a taboo to remain in ones father's land at that age. She was a very beautiful lady then and suitors trooped in her father's house daily and no one seemed to be good enough for her.And finally she had never gotten married and was now in her late fifties. To me marriage was important but it was not the most important thing in a person's Life. Being successful and happy with one's self was
"Are you sure you are? You look very exhausted and stressed out to me" I said stretching my hand nearer as he put a little piece of fish and soup on my palm for me to have a taste."Really, it's became of what happened lately, I was worried sick, how would I ever forgive myself if peradventure, something very bad had happened to you, you don't know how relived and glad I am" He said taking my hand and squeezing it sofly. After that he went over to the other cupboard bringing out a medium sized pot from there and placing it on the gas cooker. "How's the soup? He asked hands akimbo."Perfect!" I said nodding my head, wondering how he was able to cook so well."Good, so it didn't turn out to be a disaster like the last one, sometimes my food tastes better when I'm unsettled" he said."It's okay I'm here now and I am fine, why are you still unsettled when I am here, anyways if it makes the food taste good, it's not that bad" I said shrugging. He lightly pouring a bowl of water into th
"As time went, I met many people who did the same work with me, and sometimes, they brought the work as in the idea and we do it and share the money later. So this time I was the one handling the stuff for them and the client delayed in the payment so the man thought I had taken his share of the money, I tried to let him know the client hasn't paid but he would not hear, that was what brought about all this" He said."Oh my God! now I get" I said climbing down from the bed pacing up and down the room. So that was why he had some weird looking guys as friends. I remembered exactly how a boy was killed because of this kind of stuff. After they thought he had taken all the money to himself, or maybe he had probably taken it, a group of boys were sent to beat and behead him. He was brutally killed and after that they dumped his body in a bush. This incident had happened just last year around the area I lived and had spread like wild fire. And since then I saw the said Yahoo guys as crue
There was tension in the air as got into the room. I didn't know if it was only me that noticed it because she seemed to be freely as I got into the room.There was this strange look in her eyes as she sighted me, maybe she didn't expect me to recover quickly or so, that was if she actually has a hand in it, which I strongly believed without doubt."Hii" She said beaming with smiles. She was putting on a yellow dress and really looked pretty in it. She was actually a beautiful lady no doubt. And the dress she was hearing, my God, the way it exposed her cleavage, it was not the dress one should use in visiting just "a friend". "Hey" I muttered sitting down on the couch crossing my leg."I was asking Daniel about you just now, oh my God, what happened to your body!? She exclaimed as soon as she saw the bruises on my body. She acted so shocked and frightened that I was beginning to doubt what I had suggested about her earlier."It was an accident" I replied calmly trying not to make it
It was a Monday morning. I looked at my phone again to be sure what the time was and it was already six o'clock in the early morning. I was traveling back home today. I was glad I was going to meet my siblings after these months. My dad was always particular about traveling very early so as to get Early to ones destination. I was actually busy packing some of the stuffs I would be using to go back and also packing the one I would not be using, neatly at a corner of the room yesterday night so I had slept let and had to set the alarm so I would not get up late. The alarm had already rang unbelievably than I expected as I didn't even get enough sleep, and it was surprisingly already six o'clock in the morning. There were truly shorter night and last night was a good example. I was going to go back to sleep obefore boolu called out my name. She was also travelling today and we were taking a bus from the same company bus park. It was very important to take a company bus because most
The bus stop was very busy and filled with passengers, travellers and hawkers selling different things from banana to sausage rolls and fresh breads. It was already few minutes past eight o'clock when we got there, and it was still early but there were already plenty people along the road and also people who had come to take bus tickets for traveling, inclusive traders, primary and secondly schools students. I watched a little girl probably around the age of twelve to thirteenth who was Hawking bananas and fresh ground nuts as she struggled to pass find her way through the busy road and get to a car that was parked at the other side of the road that wanted to patronize her. She didn't want to take any chance of loosing the potential customer as other hawkers also ran towards the car, and finally she got there before then all. I thought she was rather too young for what she was doing. She was actually supposed to be in school and not on the road Hawking. This was actually w
After sitting in the bus for what seems like forever, i was finally back to the home town, the quiet and peaceful town I had grew up in. Meanwhile boolu had already gotten to hers about three hours ago. I got the the bus stop at exactly four o'clock pm in the evening and took a cab from there that dropped me in from of my house.As I got nearer to the gate, I looked around for a while. Everywhere was looking kind of different after being gone for barely five months. One of my former classmate that was a very good friend of mine back at secondary school saw me as he passed by the house with a bike waving at me and smiling widely.As I got home, I realized how I had missed home so much even if all I had ever wanted was to get away from home then. It was very peaceful and safe and it was where I spent all my childhood. The first person I saw as soon as I got into the compound was my elder sister prisca who was sitting outsider on the veranda when I arrived. She left whatever she was
