If my little sister says asks something else that I couldn't stand I might as well go inside and pretend I had forgotten something or pretend I was going to call my aunt Gina, but he had already phoned her telling her he was outside waiting and she said she was coming that she wanted to finish up with her make up. The last time I saw her before coming out she was already fully dressed but I didn't know she wanted to apply another make up.Mr Charles smiled looking at me little sister, the question kind of threw him off balance but he answered immediately."She's an amazing woman, and she makes me happy, I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her. Immediately I saw her, I knew she was the one, you won't understand how these things happen" He replied looking at me at then back to the person who had asked him a question.She wanted to say something immediately but paused as if she wanted to think about what she was going to say first. The young man felt uneasy on his seat as

I stared at her wide eyed. So she had been keeping this kind of stuff from me and the others all these while and here I was thinking we hid nothing from each other.I wondered how she had been able to deal with all these and still keep her mouth shut until now.After some minutes dad walked out of the room, throwing angry glances at us as he passed the sitting room going outside. I heard him start the car and the next thing he drove out of the compound.There was silence in the house again and just then my came out of the room wearing a long face. I have never seen her like this for a long time. The last time I saw her like this was when I was still In Junior secondary school also when she had a fight with Dad." I would as well end this marriage before this man kills me" She said pacing up and down the living room. You could tell she was actually very angry and could not hide it anymore. She was not someone that showed her anger or made it obvious and anytime she had any issues with

Saturdays were for weddings. In most places in Nigeria, especially the eastern part of Nigeria, and it was not like every other Saturday, it was aunt Gina's wedding.Her husband's and his family had come last two weeks Saturday to fulfill the traditional marriage rite as it was one of the vital part of marriage. They came along with their kinsmen and important relations including some elderly men of the community. Her bride price was paid and marriage list had been given to them, containing important items they should get for the bride's to be family and prominent men.We had gone to the village for all these as it was done at the bride's father's house at the village and not in the city, it was done right where the brides father lived.That has happened last two weeks Saturday and it went very well except that Mr Charles mother was noticeably moody all through the day, from the time they came till the time she left.It was obvious she was not really happy about the marriage and she

"About this psycho man, does he just get into the hostel without any aim, like, he just jumps in and out, Just like that? Martha asked as she tore the packet of noodles, pouring the content into the boiling water on the stove."Hmm, no o, many girls has reported about missing items, following the unknown man's entry into the hostel, items like phones and laptops" I replied shaking my head."Are you sure it's not one of these guys from male hostel? Chioma suggested looking up from the the phone on her hand."I don't know, but we would surely find out soon" I replied.After Martha had finished cooking, she brought down he pot from fire and we are the hot peppery noodles directly from the pot. That was a new style of eating noodles she had also taught me and it was one way of eating noodles I would never forget in a hurry. After eating and washing the pot we retired to the bed."I want to see how the two of you would sleep on this tiny bed together, like I just want to see the magic yo

We were in the bedroom when Daniels phone began to ring. I was nearer to the table where it was placed so I stretched my hand to get it for him. I looked at the name of the caller and it was his mom. I could see the bright smile on his face as he picked up the call. Both of his parents were alive but it was just as if he had only a parent because only one ever called which was his mom.His dad never called, or even if he ever did, I have never seen him call whenever I was around, only his mom did. And they really had a strong bond and he loved her so much.On one occasion when she called, I had been around and he had told her that I came visiting and she had spoken to me and she seemed very nice. He was very close to her and told her almost everything. Not that I wasn't close to my mom but I have never mentioned anything about my relationship life to her because she still saw me as an innocent kid who knew not about those kind of stuff and I didn't want to disappoint her so I rather t
