Now, the baby squirmed, and Sharon was attracted. She held her close to her chest, and gave her a peck.“Mummy loves you, my Angel,” she assured the baby. Then, she handed her back to the midwife, who collected the baby at once.“You need to breastfeed her,” the midwife reminded. Sharon simply said, “Not now. You can give her the infant formula.”With a heavy heart, the disappointed midwife, who could not explain why she avoided that, laid the baby on the cot and prepared the formula. To her delight, Sharon spoke, “I can feed her.”She placed the baby on her lap and guided her on how to feed the baby. “Thank you, midwife,” she appreciated and fed the baby. The midwife observed her and noticed that she was happy with the baby. Then, Sharon requested happily, “Can I have my phone?” “Sure, you can.”The midwife picked her phone which was on the shelf and handed it over to her. She collected it and appreciated before she began to take selfies with the baby.“Wait, powder your face a bit.

As a professional, he identified and addressed the dignitaries properly. Nevertheless, as the tradition demanded, the dignitaries paid homage to the Chief Mourner and commiserated with him over his loss. Emma happily shook hands with the dignitaries that he would never have met in his life because of his unmanageable brother, Beck. Nevertheless, Callum and his co-in-laws were behind him to welcome their guests. Afterward, the dignitaries commiserated with the traditional ruler, whose presence was as significant as 'h' in whisper. He was not bothered, provided he would officially add the widow to his harem. He saw it as an opportunity to showcase himself, too. Thereafter, they greeted the widow, Mama, who was dressed in a white outfit, and took their seats. Now, there were about twenty bulls in the field, which were condolence gifts from the dignitaries. Furthermore, Dickson, who was beside him, whispered, “Papa, your big goat has returned in a thousand folds.”“I'm short of words, my

“Your Excellency,” he greeted with a smile. The governor stood up and spread his arms for a hug. Fidel walked into the outspread arms, and he gave him a tight hug for some seconds, and it drew emotions from the audience. Everyone was either fighting hard to restrain himself or herself from crying or drying their wet eyes. Thereafter, the governor released him, and held his hand. Then, he spoke, “The society failed you, Fidel, but your tenacity and sheer will to survive sustained you.” Fidel, who was smiling and looking at him, nodded his head in agreement, and the governor continued, “I repent on behalf of the society, and I plead that you find a place in your heart to forgive and forget.”“Thank you, your Excellency. I have forgiven long ago. I remain grateful to God, who showed me mercy and pardoned my shortcomings.”Now, the audience, had forgotten that they were at a funeral and clapped for Fidel while he walked back to the podium. Then, Sarah, continued, Thank you very much your

“Okay Sir.” Oliver agreed. Now, Peter, who wished to pull off the funeral clothes from him and set them ablaze, was embittered to see him smiling softly. Peter believed that he was full in his reasoning, and wished to see only smart people like him succeeding. Notwithstanding, Oliver marked the thumbs of as many people who were in the queue, and they were given a big fancy bag with assorted gifts. They recipients joyously unzipped it, and displayed their gifts to the envy of others, who had no choice, but to queue up. Nevertheless, Shane and his colleagues joined the queue in trepidation, and prepared for the worst. To their bewilderment, Oliver smiled at them and marked their thumbs, and they got the gifts. At last, everyone in the queue was gifted and the driver shut the tailboard of the trailer.“Let's go, Oliver,” Barry announced. Oliver followed him, and they began to walk back to the dignitaries' stand.“Where is our gift?” Oliver's mother asked, and looked at Oliver, who was al

“Certainly,” the midwife assured, and served her with tea.“Apart from tea, what else would you like to eat?” The midwife asked.“Any food would suffice,” she responded and sipped her tea.“It is all right.”She looked at the baby's cot and saw the birth details, and was glad. She took her tea gradually, and soon, the midwife arrived with her breakfast.“Thank you, midwife, for the meal.”“You are welcome. After your meal, you will breastfeed her while you prepare for your birth.” The midwife, who was informed by her colleagues that she was reluctant to breastfeed the baby, advised, and studied her countenance. Sharon simply smiled and had her breakfast, and thereafter, she requested, “I am ready to have my birth.”Now, the baby was crying, an indication that she was starving. She picked her up and requested, “Kindly help me with the infant formula.”To avoid upsetting her, she prepared the formula for her and she fed her baby. Subsequently, she took her bath and laid on the bed. Then

In the Hotel RoomFelix was sitting and sulking on the single chair in his father's suite when his phone beeped. He concluded that it was a message from Sharon and was excited. Then, he punched on the message and saw the pictures that calmed his nerves, and he cheered up. He walked to his father, who was resting in his room, and announced with excitement, “Father, take a look. Felly is with her right now.”“Wow! The children look alike,” his father pointed out. “Congratulations.”“Thank you, father.”At the HospitalNow, Felix gave his sister a call immediately and she picked. “Hello, the latest dad,” Felly greeted cheerfully, and Sharon, who had not looked at her phone, wondered what could be going on.“Hello, big sister. I appreciate you for this.”“You are welcome, dear. Kindly speak with her,” she requested, and handed over the phone to Sharon, who collected it with her left hand. She waited for Felix to speak before she responded.“Hello, Sharon. How are you?”“I'm fine… sob.”“O

“I support that,” Susan agreed and attempted to get back into the bus. To avoid the General Manager disapproving their request, the team disagreed with her.“No, you are his secretary. He may need you to write the report.”Just as they expected, he smiled and took a step to walk away, Susan got the message and disembarked at once. Then, she announced, “I give up. I would rather not be the Jonah in your boat.”They laughed loudly and one of them teased, “The Jonah has stepped off, boss. Can we leave?”He smiled softly and looked at Silas, and inquired. “Do you think it is safe?”Before Silas could respond, the staff members chorused, “It is safe, boss.”“Okay. Be careful.”“Thank you, boss.”He left at once, while Susan stayed back and watched them leave.“Secretary, don't sulk. I will get some chocolate for you,” one of them teased. She gave a rueful smile and waved at them. After they drove off, she walked to her suite. She pressed the doorbell and waited. To her surprise, the door o

“You said my mind.” The elders said in unison.“I got it.” Emma pointed out. “Thank you for the compliment.”It was obvious that the testimony of the burial of Beck would remain in the memory of the people for a long time. Now, there were over fifty elders in his compound, while the youths were innumerable. They actually came to sincerely cheer him up, but his nieces had a different opinion. They saw them as guests and treated them as such. Soon, the caterer served them with a special fruit juice, which was strange to them. It was a mixture of watermelon, carrot, and pineapple. They relished it and commended. Before they were through with the juice, they were served with cabeza, which was spiced with native ingredients. Nevertheless, the merriment was unending.“Oliver,” Ada called out.“Yes, aunty,” he answered and walked to her.“I learned that you shared the souvenirs in the field.”“Yes Aunty.”“Good, do we have leftovers?”“Yes. There are many of them, and we had offloaded them.”

At the General Manager's HouseAfter Moses' was settled, and Tony satiated with accomplishment, he had the problem of informing his wife of his encounter with Moses. He recalled their first night, and how she cried when he mentioned Bruno. Breaking such news to her would get her worked up, and remind her that she lived with an animal for several years. However, he had no choice but to make their meeting known to her.“What if she finds out on her own?” He reasoned, and braced up. That night, after they had their dinner, and ensured that the twins were settled in their room with Susan's mother, he broached the topic.“What!” Susan exclaimed, after listening to his narration.“It's unfortunate,” he added, and monitored her countenance. To his expectation, she was sad, but he could not decipher her reason for that. After a few seconds of awkward silence, she asked, “What is the boy doing currently?” Although, he was uncertain about her reasons for asking, but her tone expressed genuine co

The Next DayAfter the meeting of the previous day, Silas contacted Cyprian and Moses, and they were very excited to hear from the organization. Meanwhile, they promised to be available for a meeting at an agreed time. Nevertheless, they were nervous because they were unsure of what to expect. To their chagrin, when they arrived, Silas led them to the tenth floor, but to another office that had a strong security system. Instantly, Mr. Huntington gave Silas an inquiry look when he saw the Group Managing Director inscription on the lintel of the office. Likewise, Silas was expressionless, which was difficult for him to discern.“After you,” he announced after he opened the door, and held it for them to walk in.“Thank you, for this, Mr. Jack,” he appreciated, and they walked in. Soon, they were in an office that could be mistaken for the office of the President of a Nation. Apart from Tony, they saw two unfamiliar faces. All the same, they were encouraged by the welcoming smile on their

At the HotelAfter they collected, the drugs, they gave Silas their contacts, and returned to the hotel fulfilled. To the Hotel Manager's expectations, Moses was elated. Although, he could not meet his biological father, who he would have loved to kill, but he was happy that he met someone who succored him.“Ensure that you don't disappoint the doctor by taking your drugs as he prescribed. Did you get me?” Cyprian advised.“I got you, Sir,” he responded happily. When the manager noticed that, he teased, “Do you still wished to see your father?”He fixed his eyes on him, and waited for his response. Meanwhile, Moses furrowed his brow in annoyance, and answered, “I have seen my father.” Cyprian smiled happily and confirmed, “I love that. Let's wait for the results of the test by the doctor.”“Okay, boss. Permit me to ask, what was the reason for the test? Do I look sick?”Nevertheless, the question took Cyprian unawares, but he concealed it, “I think you are. Especially when he discover

Presently, Moses was eager to see his supposed father and unleash his fury on him. He watched the adults discuss, but smiled inwardly when he heard Silas mistook him for the Hotel Manager's son, and waited for feedback.“In the office?” Tony asked. He could not remember anyone with such a name or inviting someone to the office. Nevertheless, as a family man, who just hosted many relations during the Thanksgiving, he reasoned that the man and his son could be members of his extended family or Susan's, who needed assistance.“Come with them,” Tony responded, and Silas agreed. He turned and looked at the excited guests, and ordered, “Submit your phones and come with me.”“Noted Sir,” the guests complied while Silas turned to his order, who had joined them after parking the car, and instructed, “Get the shuttle bus.”“Okay, boss,” he responded, and walked briskly out of the office. In a short while, the team was in the General Manager's office. Likewise, Cyprian appreciated the respect th

“I hope this mail would get to him,” he murmured. To ensure that Moses was stable, he sent for him, and informed him of the progress that he had made so far. The understanding that someone was interested in his matter, cheered him up, and he was grateful, “I appreciate your efforts, sir.”“Don't mention. Let's wait for three working days, as the automatic message said. If we don't hear from him, we will have no choice, but to pay him a visit.”“It is all right, Sir. Thank you for your concern.”“You are welcome.”Afterward, Moses left, and returned to his work.Three Days Later.Now, the Manager was more anxious than Moses. Curiously, he wished to get to the bottom of the publication, which could be misleading if Tony had a child somewhere previously while the publication said that he just welcomed his first babies. Nevertheless, he got a response, and was glad at the progress, “At least, they responded,” he mumbled. Meanwhile, he was able to get the email address of the General Manag

“Wait. I need to get his approval,” the security guard informed. Now, Susan's colleagues were more in number. They were aware of her pregnancy, but never attributed it to the General Manager. Likewise, it was difficult for the GMD and his wife to get out of the reception, but Silas was able to make a way for them. Not only that, Cyril was also trapped in the crowd. He could not even get close to the security guards and explain himself.At the Hotel.Since the day Bruno left the company almost two years ago, he had suffered much humiliation. Despite the ejection from his house by Felix, and Ella subjecting him to queue up like her clients, before he could sleep with her, running into a transformed Cyril as a taxi driver, was the worst humiliation he had received so far. Nevertheless, after he discharged his passenger, he got the day's paper and returned to the hotel. He did not have the zeal to continue to work, so he took a break, to brood over the epiphany he had that day.“How can t

Cyril got to the General Manager's house in high spirit, and walked in. To his dismay, the main house was locked, and the three male domestic staff members were unaware of the good news. After the greetings, he inquired, “Has the boss left for work?”“No. He left the house last night with his family,” one of them explained.“I see,” he replied, and walked back to his car, and did not bother to discuss the delivery with them.“What must have happened to Mr. Angus? Is he a taxi driver? I doubt, but he looks tattered and emaciated,” he mulled over his encounter with his former as he drove to the Industrial Area.At the ClinicAfter Tony sent the message to the Group General Manager, he sent messages to his parents, and relations, before he settled down, and chatted happily with the doctor. Meanwhile, the doctor had sent a message to his wife, and she could not contain her joy. Suddenly, the doctor's door opened, and his wife walked in. Likewise, she lit up the office with her compliment

At the Delivery RoomHowbeit, Susan was lying on the delivery bed, and was smiling happily. She could imagine how her husband, who had given up on being a father, would feel. “Hubby, it's a set of twins, boys,” Susan announced as soon as her husband walked in. Nevertheless, the excited Tony could not hold back at that point. He allowed the tears of joy that had gathered in his eyes to drop freely. Likewise, he walked to his wife and kissed her temple. Then, he appreciated, “Thank you for making me a father.” Likewise, Susan squeezed his hand, and responded, “Congratulations to us, my hero.”Subsequently, he walked to the babies' cots, and admired the cute babies, “Welcome my precious babies. I love you so much,” he assured, and held their tiny hands with his two hands at once. Presently, he was livelier, and had dried his tears. Then, he joyously took some shots of the babies with his phone.“Let's allow her to take a rest,” the doctor advised. Tony took another look at his wife, who

Likewise, Alice was excited, and summarized her task. She walked to the new house, and saw the work.“Wow!” She exclaimed, and ran back to the house. Uncle Emma was surprised to see her running back, and he inquired, “Why are you running back? Is the task too much for you?”“I wish to put on a pair of trousers,” she explained and ran into the house. She walked out shortly, after she had dressed in her jean trousers, and a pair of canvas. Then, Uncle Emma smiled with satisfaction when he realized that she was still humble and had not been influenced by the life on the campus.At the New BuildingWhile the work was going on, the youths, who were outside the gate, were disappointed. Although, Shane and Collins were not certain, but they believed that the person in charge was Oliver, but they could not defend it because everyone believed that he was dead. Now, Shane cast his mind on that night that they worked as security guards at the compound, and was ashamed of himself.“What is diffic
