We know about the "five", but we do not know anything about them or how they came to be right..... Ella was the oldest of them all, followed by Bruno, Michelle, Ekaris and finally, Clinton. Long before then, they had respected the peace and serenity of the friendship, they never in any way breached what was meant for the other.
Michelle and Ella, were the first to come together as friends, they lived an admirable life of true friendship. Ella was cold hearted whereas, her friend was hot tempered ......so, they had a way of understanding their different nature. Later joined them was Ekaris, he was the immediate younger brother to Michelle. The three of them carried on the friendship for several years before Bruno and Clinton who were friends before later joined them. That was how their number increased to five.
CLINTON, an honorable fellow. He was a lucrative scholar and had the interest of the members at heart despite being the youngest. He was not the boisterous type or was he the quiet type either. He was a lovable being, but one thing about him was that he had no interest in whatever that has to do with love. He never believed in love. That notwithstanding, he was the most loved among them all. The only sexual life he had was with a girl named kate. And talking about sexual life, not the type Bruno and Enola engaged themselves in, it was something more like just normal friendship. The only romantic connection they once had was just holding of hands and hugging. Kate would always complain that he knew nothing when it comes to sex and romance, Clinton and his nature, he did not even care, he was just after his own happiness and money. That was how he lost kate to someone more romantic.
EKARIS, the quiet one. Very cunning, witty and smart too. He does not do anything on his own most times. You know how scavengers do, always moving from one point to another looking for what to inherit. A predator when it comes to taking what makes people happy. He had little or no romantic life.
ENOLA, the pretty diva. Looked very promising and with so much endowments. She was from the coast side. Coast side was actually a partitioned area or environment, very close to the ocean or sea. At the other side of the town, there was the Coast of Kris, that was the exact area Enola was born. People from the coastal regions were being regarded highly simply because of their direct relationship with countries that import or export necessary items. The reason why they had to relocate to their present location remained unknown. Though the dad, who works with the airports authority did not relocate with them. Enola's dad has worked with the authorities for several years as they were staying at kris and even after Enola and her mom relocated. The dad visited most often especially when he had days off. Enola resembled her mom in all ramifications. From the round face, to the exceptional hips and moderate height. The beauty was a topnotch and the fairness was just like the fanciful coloration of light displayed during the radiation of the ultraviolet rays of the sun on a plain surface. The beauty was indeed in the family line. No wonder she looked the way she did, all thanks to her mom.
BRUNO, the lady's man. In stature, he had a perfect body. Broad shoulders and oval face. He had what it takes to make a girl fall easily, but he was a flirt. With a voice of a melodious cantor, he threatens to force a smile on the beholders face. Bruno graduated from school as a Management science student. He had greater regards when it comes to matters surrounding money and besides, he had the more money among the five. Bruno's parents were still alive and were very healthy, each still attending to the businesses. The mom was a teacher whereas the dad was a business co-ordinator, maybe that was why he had to study management in school. He had two other siblings, they were girls. One was still an undergraduate whereas the last one was yet to enter. There was a time Ekaris and Bruno almost had serious issues. The cause of the matter was that Ekaris wanted to mess around with his sister without his own knowledge. Ekaris was cunning and smart, like he was mischievious with his smartness. If it had been Clinton that wanted Bruno's sister, he would have not desisted because he was someone that was transparent and honest. He never hid to do anything or ever gone to the back to stab a friend.
Ekaris secretly lured Nora, Bruno's sister, to start having a secret relationship with him. He hid everything from the peers, and Nora did likewise from her family. The first person among the entire group to notice was Clinton, who had a way of observing and relating. When he finally decided to relate the whole stuff to Bruno, not like he betrayed Ekaris, but the friends knew themselves well; maybe he just wanted to bring the awareness of Bruno to the whole situation. The Intel part of it was that, Ekaris do sneak to Bruno's house to meet Nora whenever no one else was at home. This kept on happening until Clinton related the secret to Bruno. Bruno confronted his sister first before taking any drastic measure, he issues a serious warning to her in other to avoid Ekaris. Ekaris was confronted too. So, that was how the secret relationship between Nora and Ekaris crumbled. Does that mean Bruno was right then, or was he just acting out of guiltiness?. Those actions of Bruno on Ekaris life must have been the main reason why at some point in life, he felt this rage to scavange like a rampaging monster. Or maybe, he actually did found a way to settle his scores advantageously to his own ordinance.
Normally, within every year, Bruno and friends usually make out time to go on a short trip. Wait, before I continue, let's give these group of friends a name. “The paragons" will be fine, it's our joint decision to give them the name though.So, that year, the Paragons decided to go to the woods for their normal yearly trip. The trips usually last for three to four days. So, before the trip, certain preparation were being made by different individual. Each had to take up the role he or she could handle; the food aspect, the sports aspect, the organizing of the tents, the security aspect and host of others. It was Ella and Bruno that assessed the location and found it worthy for the trip. It was on a very cold and whispering evening that the both of them set out for the mission of finding a suitable site for the trip. All the Paragons met right in front of Bruno's house before they set out. Bruno drove all the way from the environs to the entrance of the woods. With the
“I never knew you can drive", Bruno said as he saw Enola arrived in a car.“A lot about what I can do you don't know about, she smiled and continued, just when you see me doing them, don't be surprised".They embraced themselves and she got a peck on the forehead. It was the day they planned to start the trip, all had agreed to assemble at Bruno's house for easy and straight forward movement. Enola arrived first, the reason is was very obvious. It became clearer that Enola was in love with Bruno. They way they relate and the way they act like they were newly married. Definitely, people should have lots of reasons to envy the lovers; at this, I do not blame Ekaris for the way he felt.Not too long after Enola arrived, the rest of the Paragons arrived too, like they planned the time themselves. Thanks goodness, Enola arrived with a car too. The journey already made easy. They packed everything they would need for the trip, some inside Bruno's car why the rest how's to
There was a fire place which they made in order to keep themselves warm. All of them where seen gathered around the fire like it was a committee of witches having their meeting, planning on a mission to devour. Each of them was putting on thick article of clothing to help the body warm faster. The cold was much like it was winter. It’s a known phenomenon that areas surrounded by water are most often cool especially the cool breeze that makes one thing that he or she was about to freeze. That’s because, during the day, the sun heats hard on the ground producing heat that helps warm the rivers, then at night, the river produced immense cool breeze that helps to keep the ground cold. It exhibits diffusion, not like the we are talking about liquids though, but it works in a more likely way; which means, it’s coldest in areas closer to the river or sea and colder in areas far apart. One may ask why those friends weren’t afraid of the dark and the seclusion of the area, amidst cre
It was already morning and they were all set for the day’s activity. It was hide and seek game. Everyone was ready for the game apart from Enola. She seemed little bit weak and exhausted.“Guys, I can’t come along, I feel really weak like I will fall sick. Let me just stay back and rest”, she Enola notified them.“Hmm, sounds so suspicious”, Michelle whispered to the hearing of Ekaris.“I don’t even wanna think about that, he whispered back and continued aloud… let’s just leave her behind and go ahead with the game”.They all left her behind like she insisted, Bruno was the last person to leave the area because he wanted to make sure that she was in good situation before joining others. Now, they would have to play the game in singles instead of pairing in twos. “You guys already know the rules of the game, we will spin a bottle, whoever gets spotted by the angle of spin will be the one to seek whereas, the rest hides”, Bruno instructed.“Please, let’s not go too far to avoid one mis
They were already coming to the end of their stay in the woods. That was probably, the last night they would spend there. That night was so memorable for some and as well normal for others. Due to the effect of the last game they played, they were all drained and famished. Normally, they usually go to the river to freshen up one after the other. It was Enola's turn, she left with her necessary articles of clothing down to the river to take a bathe. Maybe Ekaris thought she needed an escort and decided to follow her without her knowledge. Enola was moving faster and left much meters for him to cover up.So, when he finally got to the river, he sighted from afar and realized that Enola was already stripped. He decided to watch closely from the distance. The magnificent body of a wholesome creature, like assorted meals prepared for the calibers. Her beauty beamed like that of a goddess and her flexibility of heart made her so attractive. Ekaris was at his hiding place, obse
“I have something to say guys”, Bruno said as they were already gathered discussing.“And what could that be?”, Ella asked representing the anticipation of the whole Paragons.“Actually, it’s a proposal. Can Enola join the Paragons?” She asked.There was some kind of silence, they were definitely waiting for who would speak first. Though, I see lots of reasons why she should be admitted as one of them. She had followed them almost everywhere they went to and also did to some extent, what they did. “It’s not bad if I should say”, Clinton said.“She has been here and there with us, so making her officially one of us isn’t bad idea at all”, Michelle supported what Clinton said. And the rest of them had no objection about the issue. “Thanks guys, for accepting me”, she appreciated with beams of smiles on her face. They didn’t bother to know what prompted Bruno’s suggestion but one person did. Ekaris had a constant way of suspecting Bruno and Enola. He believed that whatever they were
In the winter’s day, it’s as cold as ice right?..... The cold experienced during the winter is often not foretold. When the sun is directly overhead the equator or tropic of cancers or capricorn, whichever one, also when the north wind meets the sea. At their meeting, a catastrophic conjugation of misplaced ego as per which would persist. The esteemed purpose of their existence deflected and the unalloyed confliction stages. As this staging is going on, some part of the earth suffer it the most. A solidification of essence and prostitution of non conserved weather. That leads to the desertification of some areas and seclusion of areas.The Paragons were very much closer and lovable. Just the way people loved and preferred summer to winter, In that same manner, people loved them and admired them. Some things happened and some things led to another. If you remembered, I narrated earlier that the Paragons had or were having unidentifiable connections with one another.Ekaris knew of the
At a very unconventional period, there appeared to be a conflict of romance. Clinton was left uninformed since he was the only one that seemed not to understood the underlying truth of the moment. He had things that kept him busy other than love and romance. The worst part, it was a cyclic romance. The only person he would suspect was Ekaris because he knew what the guy can do. Very cunning, smart and as well, wicked to some extent. He would do everything possible to have his way due to his cheered selfishness. At some point, Clinton confronted him to inquire exactly what would make such an individual behave in a way so affectionately unaccepted.The response he got from Ekaris almost made him to hate him. He decided from then to keep of Ekaris’s path and mind his absolute business. Amongst all, it was Enola who knew less about Ekaris and what he probably might be up to.One cloudy and suspenseful afternoon, Enola was home alone, the mum had gone to work and left the hous
Enola couldn’t afford to spend more time there, like I said earlier, she needed to stay cool and clear some things off her head. The mother noticed her unusual quietness and forgetfulness in thoughts. She knew something must be bothering her, she just wanted to give her sometime to know exactly if what she thought was right. She was right after all, Enola no longer feed well, she experienced insomnia and lack of enthusiasm in doing things. Her mum was fed up and decided to find out what has been eating her up from the inside. She was inside her room one night as usual and couldn’t sleep, she was invaded by drop of tears that were allowed to flow down the cheeks freely. She was weeping in silence but due the fact that the whole house was calm and serene, the mother was able to hear her sobbing voice even from her room. It was very obvious that Enola couldn’t hold it for much longer, she might probably think of a bad way to end things which kept me thinking; what did the bo
Enola was passing through a whole lot, she had gone through series of emotional damage caused to her by Bruno. He made Enola feel very belittled and ashame of having loved him in the first place. What he did would be discussed shortly, but before then, Enola made a decision to travel back to the coast side and stay with her father till further notice. At least to clear of certain things that were heavy on her. She suffered from loneliness and frustration from heart break. They day she planned to travel came too quick and she made her travel in solitude and silence without letting any of them know about it.The reason for the heart break, not like it was very official but there’s a way you must have gone with someone to notice the meaning of every action and reaction that comes from the person. There were countless times she was ignored by Bruno, Bruno certainly had whoever kept him busy and occupied over there at Texas. From his actions then, Enola was able to decipher wha
We are not physically connected and as such, whatever I say stands to be right or worthy to be believed. It's not certain that one will say things the exact way they appeared to be, in as much as your presence wasn't relevant, what he or she wanted, that's what you would be told. Let's take for instance, I'm having an affair with another lady that's not my girlfriend and my girlfriend wasn't in sight, she traveled or I was the one that traveled. She called when the affair was going on, it would take just the comportment of the side girl to convince the main babe that you were sleeping before she woke you up, no matter how suspicious she might seem to be, she wouldn't be sure as well to conclude.Bruno and Enola were physically apart, and no one knew how longer that would be. Alexia and Clinton were physically apart from each other too. Alexia had something to make up to, she was planning on how to meet up with Bruno and at least spend some time with him. But it seemed Bruno wa
Bryan lived a very luxurious life with his influential personality. At his place of work, due to the respect and authority he commanded, he was pictured as being a bossy manager, but that notwithstanding, they still loved him because he treated them well and made sure that the tranquility of the entire workplace is maintained. He lived on the Island, they said that the Island was meant for the rich people, I guess he was a description of what a successful young man was. He had his own apartment and lived alone, he hadn't stayed too long in Nigeria as he was just starting to adapt the conditions of living in Lagos.The day Michelle arrived at his place for the small holiday, it wasn’t too hard for her to locate the place as the address was very distinct and straight forward. She was marveled by what she saw, she knew her longed audio boyfriend was rich but not to the extent of what she saw that day. She saw with her eyes and she believed. Starting from when Bryan went to pick he
We still remember that girl Bruno met inside the plane during his flight back to Texas? Her name was Silvia. In addition to her beauty and other things that were physically intact in her, he had that charisma that most people would long to see in ladies but seemed just few of them had it, Silvia was one of them. Since that day they arrived in texas, Bruno haven't met with her again or even called her to know how she was faring. Silvia on her own side still maintained her own esteem and decided to wait for the call anytime it was coming even if it had to take till eternity to come. So, one day when she was in the office, tiding up to go home after the stressful day's work, an unusual thing happened, a call entered her phone and it was Bruno. “ hi pretty”, Bruno greeted in a way to light her up. “ you called just in time, I just closed from work just now. How are you?” She inquired. “ am trying dear, work is really on me, that’s why I haven’t called since then”, B
Michelle was the only person among the Paragons that we viewed single because there was no peculiar person she dated if not for the affair she had with Bruno. Asides that, we weren't told about her secret date. She has never met that guy physically, they only talked on the phone, did video chats and host of other things without meeting each other. They reason why they haven't met was due to distance and Michelle's mother's illness. But as everything worked out to be good, it was time for her to fix a date for the both of them to meet as the guy told her that it was dependent on her to choose an appropriate time that would suit her.The relationship was just between Michelle and her guy, no other person knew or suspected, they only wondered why she had not interested in getting a man of her own. Enola would insist that she was really a whore, moving from one man to another. She didn’t love Michelle too well or care about how she felt. She was just enduring her because of th
Our lives are like a contract with our creator, of which the day of our death wasn’t specified, the only specification there was that we would live and die someday, the day would not be made known till it comes to pass. The luckiest some of us could get would be knowing that their death were really very close, but the day would be uncertain, sometimes, the moment explains the type of death to be experienced. Some undergoes certain terrible situations before they would finally give up the ghost, some likewise die accidentally making theirs shorter and less painful. Death should be one of the most feared occurrence in someone’s life, to fear death is the first step to careful living. In as much as most of the occupants of the earth strive to life and explore and develop, death would be very certain as it was and is a crucial way for multiplication and innovations. Michelle and Ekaris were home with their parents, enjoying the much time they missed with them when they all trav
Everything had worked on to good in the favor of everyone, the restored health of Mr Fabi's wife had brought back the long lost joy and happiness that eluded their home. Her return, made everyone and everything went back to normal, as they eat together, chat together and do certain things together as well. Most especially on the side of Ekaris and Michelle, they felt ever happy and glad, their mood that period was ruled by the fact that they wouldn't be tied down in the house any longer. They would at least have the freedom to go certain places they wanted and if possible, on a vacation.Michelle had always wanted to take a simple vacation to the major city, she had a friend of hers that lives there. It was that her mother’s situation that made her not to leave even then when there was misunderstanding before them. Now that mum was good to go, she had the absolute freedom to go wherever she wanted and possibly do whatever she wanted also. Ekaris on his own side, had tha
In preparation for the celebration of the successful surgery of their mother and wife, the household of Mr Fabi decided to organize a small dinner between his own family and few friends who included the Paragons because they served a greater purpose in encouraging them throughout the hospital incident. The preparation was made without the wife knowing, it was planned to be a surprise dinner party and thanksgiving party for life restored. No one was to leak the secret to her. It was scheduled to hold on the night of her discharge from the hospital. They planned to delay her discharge till early in the night, as it would be suitable for the dinner party. Everyone kept to the plan especially the issue of not letting her know till she stepped her feet inside the house.It was on Friday evening that Clinton took just the husband to the hospital for easy transportation. Others didn’t come along because they had serious works to do at Mr Fabi’s house. The people that were meant
