I had earlier on made a constructive prophecy that came out of simple imagination and suspicion about something relating to cold and ice on conjunction with the winter. Seemed I was right though, I’m always right. The winter comes with unimaginable cold, sometimes overwhelming and brutal. We all know that living things like to take cold substances but in ourselves, we don’t want to get extremely cold as the substance. How dare venture into the ice road or ice water, seems death is beaconing on you. No one with his or her right senses goes in contact with ice. That’s the same way it is with our lives. When we are cold within, we scare people away likewise when we are too hot. Life needs to be balanced at all cost.The truth having been revealed, everyone knew who was who and what they did. Those that still had conscience hid their faces in disappointment and disgrace. They were literally turn apart. No one had the temerity to talk to another as they all felt the depth of wha
It would be so insignificant for the Paragons to dismember just like that. The matter was very implicating and weird. But that not withstanding, a friendship built for a very long time shouldn't go into extinction because of an issue that if well reconciled, the stronger they become. They had the grieve quite alright but the sudden long distance wasn't necessary. One thing was certain, if they had gone back together, things wouldn't return to the normal way it used to be so, it's better for everyone to just stay and plan ahead. What would be would definitely be, just a matter of time and fate.After Bruno had traveled, he roamed his line in case someone wanted to get to him. He did that on purpose because definitely, the whole member would find out later. Clinton who couldn’t hold it any longer, decided to let everyone know about that. He sent a group text message to everyone reading thus: «God day everyone, considering the event that took place in the past, I apol
As everyone had made his or her rightful decision, there was indeed an intense secluded moment amongst the remaining ones that are yet to travel as Enola had embarked on her own travel. Enola went to stay with her father at the coast side. She had no other option as to where to go. What would she be doing in the house when her boyfriend had gone away to a very far land. She had no better choice than traveling back to at least ease off a lot of emotional and psychological burden that weighed her down. She really thought of what to do in order to make things right, but nothing was eminent to her. Life in the Coast was different. Back there with Bruno and friends, she felt loved and occupied. She had time to talk to people and make new friends as well. She also went out on dates and partied too even to the extent of having a lover and running stuffs with him. Life seemed fulfilled and meaningful to her back then not until the ugly occurrence took place. She wondered what she wo
Bruno rushed from the bathroom to his room in order to pick up his phone. The alacrity with which he rushed the phone, one might assume that he had a very important appointment he needed to catch up with or maybe a significant personality was calling on him. Another mind like that of Ekaris might actually think that it would be Enola, since they have reconnected to themselves. Actually, that would have been a very brilliant guess but, we are not Ekaris to do that. “Hello guy, so you are the one that wants me to abandon my bathe eh", he teasingly said to the person on the phone. “Let me call you back when I have properly taken my bathe ok". He then settled his mind and took a proper bathe. Let me guess, if it had been Enola, he would have done either of these two things; took the phone with him to the bathroom as the call went on or he would have stayed there naked since he lived alone and finish the call before continuing the bathe if he won’t eventually aband
As everyone was aware of the new development that Bruno and Enola were back together, they felt so challenged and remorseful. That was what they should have done without waiting for who would do it first. It was as if both of them secluded themselves from the rest apart from Clinton, maybe because, they felt others wouldn’t be of any essence since they weren’t even ready to reconcile.On one faithful day, there was that spirit that went into Clinton as usual and he picked up his phone and decided to make a call. “Who will I call now” he thought to himself as he was taking a break from work. He scrolled down his contact list and stopped when he found Ella’s contact. He took a deep breathe and dialed the number. At first, it didn’t connect and he decided to try for one more time. Luckily for him, it did connect but awaits response. “Hello, good day….please who’s this?” Ella sounded on the phone with a very serious tone. “Ella, it’s me Clinton,
They had a call of change, I meant Clinton and Ekaris. After the very day they had that phone call, Ekaris hasn't been himself, every time his thoughts were directed to one direction; how to make things right. He knew it was only one phone call that will put everything in a perfect order if it went successful. But the restraining catalog was the courage and selfless mind with which the call would be done with. He missed Ella quite alright but according to his judgement, he wouldn't want to open a wound that was almost covered. So, considering that effect, he decided to swallow whatever he had to say to her and be on his own.It was one of the primary thing he discussed with Clinton, that it wouldn’t be very easy for him considering the fact that she was the one being offended. Though Clinton didn’t mention to him that he had already spoken with Ella and she was halfway willing to forgive depending on the change of heart. He purposely hid it from him because he wanted Ekaris to
The wave of coldness as that of the winter which raided the entire paragons were gradually being warmed up. The moment of being closely apart from each other seemed to be getting to it's end. Just like it was said somewhere in a certain adage, in all twelve, there's always a Judas. We all knew how that adage came about. We read our bibles and knew our scriptures. Judas was among the twelve apostles of Christ who happened to be the betrayal of his master. Even after everything he shared with the master, he still betrayed and handed him over for money, died of course out of the weight of his atrocity. Those that needed to apologize to their offended had done that remaining one person. Michelle, knew she had a lot to say, she doubled crossed Enola and even called her a whore above all. She knew that if it was to be tabled before a parliament, she was probably going to be termed the whore because she was fully aware of the relationship between Bruno and Enola. Even if she had so
Just as everyone had almost come together, a conserved plan for a re-union came into play. The plan as expected was fully masterminded by the great Clinton. Clinton of reconciliation, he was definitely so eager and determined to make both ends meet as it may lead to the comfortability of everyone among them. Michelle was a hard nut to crack. Remember, the previous time, Clinton pleaded with Ekaris to at least help him talk to his sister. It wasn't even for his own selfish reason if at all there was any, it was actually for the well being and togetherness of all. Ekaris did talked to his sister in a way that was so understanding.The very day Ekaris and Michelle had that talk about forgiving whosoever and forgetting, it was really a tough battle. It looked so obvious that Michelle never wanted to be part of any arrange concerning the reformation plans. She was the last to contacted as per the issue of the reconciliation. What her anger was, no one knew, the resentment that wou
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
