ANSWERS

The sound of the clocks seemed to have converged at one place in the entire office and that was near Stephany's ears.

Tick tock, tick tock.

It was like they were trying to tell her to hurry and choose.

There was no better choice but the silence that allowed the clock sound was now giving her heart a scare as it drummed in her ears too.

Little did she ever think of the day she would be so anxious to be with Juma like the only two of them.

Where did it come from?

But before she could speculate the answer, Juma's voice sounded.

"Jeffa is asking if I'm going down or not, the hotel surely without any suspens will be the next!"

He was calm like he knew her choice and said his sentence like he was talking about everyday business.

"Okay!" She said and it sounded like a commanded whisper just at the fall of Juma's voice.

Juma chuckled at her reaction and asked like he never understood what the okay was for,

"Okay to what?"

Stephany almost dropped dead with anger. Is this man really ser

    Trending."She looked forward to that day and that day she even did her chores early," Stephany went on feeling down.Silent loomed between them and Juma raised a brow."What happened next?" Juma asked with anticipation.He was now into the story, especially when he felt the name Stephany to be familiar and the story brought some weird painful feeling to him.Juma thought he had grown soft since he had feelings towards Stella so he pushed the feeling to the back of his mind.Stephany was surprised to see his reactions and also she affirmed sighing in her heart that surely, he had forgotten all that. It was all seen in his face."That day, he never even glanced at her," she stated.At this said, she stopped to seek his reaction. Juma was surprised by the turn of events a little angry to who?"What? Why did he do that?" Juma asked.He now gets why she wouldn't love this Abel guy, the man was a jerk!"He broke up with her, saying he

    Target!The car turned towards the direction of home and she turned to him."Where are we headed?" She asked."Home. I need somewhere to sit and focus on what's going on. I will leave it to you for now but I might take over if something isn't done," Juma stated what was in his mind.Stephany was taken aback!He made Stephany think of him in the past...."Why did you reprimand her that way, moreso in my presence, it was too cruel!" She had said helplessly staring at the receding back of Linah."Who is she to say that to you?" He had asked."She is just a concerned friend. More ever, she has known you way long before me, isn't it?" Stephany had reminded."And she should know better than getting to my bad side. She is a friend and should not cross that line!" He had stubbornly stood on his stand."She's right though, I am basically a tomboy. Being surrounded by boys made it easier for me, so the feminine part is gone. You know it""

    Is The World Warning.While Stephany was in the call, she forgot to listen as her mind wondered away. She remembered and contemplated in all the happenings that had transpired since she knew or safely said, since she met Juma Cain.It was not only from that day at the airport, but also from the first day she had set her eyes on him. She never crashed on Juma and he never made her heart skip at first, second or third sight!But that was not as important as what she had to endure when she was with him, apart from having fawning friends.The enemy list of most of the girls that time, at the top rank, was her glaring name! And then now!It was not ok to a point she didn't know if it was her or Juma's fault. Disturbingly, Juma's behaviors now that portrayed the same person she knew he would grow up to be!She did not understand his situation anymore.Not that kind of understanding but the person he had become. The one who had suffered from amnesia!

    He Drove Here!Kriiing!! Kriiing!Stephany's phone rang just as she wanted to dial the number. Luckily it was the one she wanted to call."I am coming right now and don't even try asking me to go back to work!" Candy's adamant voice that left no opportunity for any refute rang clearly from the other side as she demanded in her motherly tone as soon as Stephany slid the accepting dial.The sudden emergence of Candy's shrill voice made Stephany place the phone away from her ears an arm length away and only returned it after the girl had finished her sentence.Stephany had not expected Candy to call much less decide on coming back home. It was better anyway.This way, she could help her swerve the internet not that she didn't know but Stephany loved being the internet damn girl."Okay mom!" Stephany said and cut the phone.It did not take long before Candy emerged in the house and by this time, the entire entertainment world was exploding.There was some new news!Frankey's Studio should

    Son Of Upper City.After Juma left from the parking lot near Candy’s apartment, he drove into the street towards the highway that would be leading him to his home. As an afterthought, he swerved to a certain bus stop and parked for a little while to give him an opportunity to look into the story of the clothes Stella had worn.The steering wheel was steered as the car drove to the left side of the road and he parked the car without any disturbance.He turned to look at the brown leather jacket that was sitting on the front passenger seat next to him with all seriousness. He reached for the brown leather G4 jacket and started scanning it as if his eyes could really take him back into the production hour of the jacket. This jacket was not simple as its tailoring seemed to follow all the criteria that is needed for a designer cloth.The leather part of the jacket with the G4 brand on the top right shoulder and the bigger insignia of the brand at the back. The G was a ro

    No Problem!The bus driver’s expression sank. It was true what Juma was saying but he was known to be someone who gets what he wants so how could he just yield so easily?“Young man, it seems that you ain’t going to give me face like I gave you face. Right?” The bus driver asked in a hardened voice clearly not masking the anger and hatred he had for Juma now.These wealthy kids thought that they owned the city. But he had been in the transport business for so long that he even had his goons and cronies under him to do his dirty work.If not for the fact that this place was a public place and still in the city center, with all the cameras in place, he could have gotten into his bus and knocked this ignorant fool of the wealthy family out of his way and even taken the car engine and other parts. This hummer was still new, probably not one month old!Thinking of this, the bus driver’s eyes shone brightly and for the slip of a second he had forgotten he was arguing w

    Bridge Ways Mixed.Juma knew that Ali’s religion would want him to rush home so he did not hesitate on agreeing to him for the short notice request of leave. Then again, Ali’s leave was supposed to be on this weekend so it was not bad to allow him to head for his sister’s funeral.Then again, Juma was not going to be heartless enough as to only give him the funeral leave because of the upcoming one.“Do not worry, I will ask for your transportation to be arranged and your leave this weekend is still available,” Juma added as an afterthought reassuringly.“Thank you sir Namu, but…that won’t be necessary. I have to work for the days I’ll be gone,” Ali said quickly, not wanting to use Juma’s kindness for his benefit even though he knew the degree of his kindness.Juma looked at Ali who was standing three steps from him and revealed a broad smile as he spoke, “I said it should not worry you. We can manage. If not, we will have to disturb the hotels these few days.Juma felt Ali’s anxiousn

    If I can get home.Stephany did not bother to explain or clear the misunderstanding and let Candy rattle about the reason they were together admiring Juma's coat.She rested on the sofa and let herself be immersed into her own thoughts. Candy on the other side, still staring at the coat, wondered if the sun had risen on the West.At that thought, Candy turned to Stephany and just when she was about to say something to her, her phone beeped.'Gosh! My data was still on?" She asked no one in particular as she took her phone to check on the notification."Someone else has also joined on the trend," Candy said as she brought her phone to Stephany, "Check this out,"Stephany raised a brow with an inquisitive expression written all over her face. But, in utter disappointment, scrunched them later as soon as she watched the Tik Tok video. She blinked in confusion, fluttering her natural long lashes."What is wrong with people nowadays that everything is sent t

She smiled in the next second to mask her feelings.

    Aunty, You Should Not Say Betting!The car cruised back to Juma's villa and he drove directly to the underground parking garage that belonged to the villa.Stephany was sleeping and he saw the only best option was to use the lift rather than waking her up or using the stairs.Soon as the front lights shut, Juma came out of the car and was in time to see Candy who was walking down the stairs to the garage from the main door."Miss Candy! I didn't know you would be waiting?" He spoke as soon as she was a few steps to him.Juma was walking around the car to get Stephany from the car and take her into the house. Candy nodded and didn't answer as her gaze caught the sight of the sleeping Stephany."What is wrong with her?" She asked and her soft facial features turned hard in the next second and she sounded worried.Candy quickened her steps and headed to the car. Juma didn't care why she didn't greet him and understood her worries."She is fine, she is only tired from all the happenings o

    What Might Be Behind Juma's Amnesia.Stephany knew that in no time, she would be forced to reveal herself to him and she saw no reason to deny being Stephany Lee in front of an elderly person like the school guard.She pressed Juma's hands in a meaningful way so as to prevent him from being too shocked and sent him a message that she will clear all that later.The guard was happy and then he took their tangled hands on his own and started chanting incoherent words and blowing air into their hands.The two were confused but Stephany smiled later. She realized the man was giving them his blessings and casting away evil that they might meet in their road to the future in the traditional way.When the old man was done, he left their hands and said, "I never knew you children would one day meet after what had happened. May The God be your guide,""Thank you!" Stephany said as Juma was finding too much that his mind could not register at all.It seems like Stel

    Yes. I Am Miss Lee!“Would you tell me what is happening?” Stephany asked with worry, “You look like you have been in a forbidden land!” She added.She now started to have some spooky answers to what was going on. Definitely, she remembered that Juma was fine when they came and even when they first left the car. But, something happened the next second they stepped out of the main road to the path that leads to the gate.Juma stepped away again while Stella was still contemplating, not answering her question and he felt another twang and this time, he jumped to the other side of the white mark. He now felt like the question Stella had shot him made some sense. He did look like someone venturing a forbidden ground.The question that his mind couldn’t get to answer was; What kind of sorcery was it? Why were very strange things happening to him? And why him?Of course, even though Juma had these questions and he had discovered he can’t venture close to the school’s gate, he didn’t match

    The Sudden Headache Attacks!While all the world was expressing their views for the number one trending news, unknown to Juma and Stephany of their views on them, Stephany was waiting for Juma to give her a reply.“Stella, indeed there are somethings that I should be telling you but it's such a long story and its contents are so complicated that I don’t know where to start or what to say and what not to say.” Juma said.He was forced to tell Stella his entire story now but how was he going to explain? There was too much that he wanted to only talk about after finding even a single clue to his past.He turned to Stephany and took her hands in his, Stephany had paused the video and they were not watching it anymore.“There are many things that I was only planning to tell you about later but it seems time is not on my side anymore.

    Linah, Miss World's Press Release Reactions.Bridge Ways Mixed Day and Boarding school. Inside the staffroom.An old woman in her 50s wearing a flower dress was sitting on her desk in the open office and she wore a proud face, " This girl surely did it. She really has made us proud. She didn't disappoint as a student of Bridge Ways!""Mrs. Emelda is right. If I would have my student standing there in front of all those cameras and gaining attention from top brands and companies in the world, I would be kissing the heavens if I hear him or her say she is coming back!" Another female teacher who was younger, at least in her thirties, said happily."I Joy, I really envy you Mrs. Emelda. Your students seemed to have been blessed!" The female teacher went on."Yes they are surely blessed. I heard the top student of that year is now an award winning CEO!"

    It Was Now Or Never.“If you weren’t sick, then how can you lose your memory during a comatose stage? Did the scriptwriter and the original writer of the Marvel Comic, Captain America, not do their best in research towards comatose?” Stephany asked.Her question at least softened his creases and Juma chuckled, “You really have the time to make a funny joke now?” He asked.But, Stephany raised her brows and said seriously, “It’s no joke! Didn’t Steve Rodgers wake up after, was it fifty years or over? And he was able to remember that he had promised his girlfriend a date!”Juma turned to look at her for a second and then turned his focus back to the road. He failed to form words to retort to her choice of reference. Did she have to use a science fiction movie and comic to be precise?“Maybe there is something that the doctors did to you during your comatose status. Or can someone develop some kind of illness during that stage?” Stephany racked her brain and s

    I Have Tried!Stephany was jolted back by the phone’s ringtone and opened her eyes. Taking the opportunity of Juma’s daze to the ringing phone and their patted lips, she slipped from under him.“I am going to shower” she ran as fast as her legs could carry her into the bathroom.When she finally closed the bathroom door, she heaved a sigh of relief breathing exaggeratedly with her back against the door.“Phew! That would have ended up in another mess!” She mumbled to herself.But she hadn’t cooled down when she heard Juma’s voice from the other side of the door, “Why are you running away when your phone is calling?”His tone was filled with teasing and amusement; he barely hid them in his question.What? Was it her phone that was ringing? She didn’t even listen to the ringtone. All she wanted was to escape as far away as possible.“Who is calling me?” Stephany asked from the bathroom not opening the door.“Open up and take the phone,” Juma
