The sun eclipsed under clouds which accumulated in the sky. It was going to rain soon. Children were running at high speed towards their homes. A few drops of water were already watering the ground. #Zed checked his watch. It was a quarter to 3 p.m. And soon the curtains of rain obscured his vision. He was all soaked. He then made the decision to take shelter with one of his closest comrades. When he reached the door, he knocked. A few minutes later, the door opened. An old lady stood in front of him and looked at him dazedly behind her glasses > Zed asked Then she closed the door. Zed almost let out a cry when a dog the size of a lug 🐺 sniffed him. He had shivers. A few minutes later the door reopened. A young girl 👩 with tanned skin draped in golden pajamas with braided hair backwards. His upturned nose and thick lips made him look mischievous. "I know a lot of Vania's friends but I've never seen you" replied the old woman unequi
....On the way down a dark avenue, a car appeared out of nowhere and blocked his way. Surprised he braked. Two masked men holding guns in hand spring out. They didn't seem to be asking the editor for an interview. - Get out of the car immediately! Ordered a high-pitched voice Christophe was scared He got out of the car with his hands up 🙌 - What do you want from me? he stammered in an unsteady voice. - That ! Then they shot him and ran quickly to their jeep which started right away. Neither seen nor known. The man was dying when a pedestrian approached him. When he saw his condition, he cried out for help. The world soon showed up. They transported him to the hospital. But alas it was too late the editor had succumbed to his injuries on the way. The doctors just took him to the morgue and tried to reach his relatives…✳✳✳ That evening, Zed was in the living room revising lessons for his younger brother. Her big sister #Denise was watching TV while getting her mani
…The waiter took good note and went to get the order. " So Zed, what made you choose a career as a journalist?" Asked Vania Zed changed his cheerful face to sadness. " I got it from my father" he said in a relaxed tone. " Oh, I heard about the news of his death. I send you my sincere condolences Zed." At these words, the memories fled to the surface. Zed remembered his humiliation because of her, VANIA. " Oh Oh I see you're still mad at me, Zed" Vania remarked. "Clearly you have not forgiven me"replied Vania " A little yes !"answered Zed "Well, you know, you didn't let me explain to you what happened."said Vania "Yet it was clear: you took the photo to me in your pajamas and you had fun sharing it on social networks."replied Zed "Not exactly ! It's true that I took a photo for you but I didn't send it to everyone, just to a friend who then shared it."said Vania " But it was only your fault"replied Zed "I never said it wasn't my fault. I assume it and I sincerel
….She dove towards the elevator. "Mama miya!" Exclaimed Frédéric, "I don't believe what I just saw the girl she's crazy about you Zed" he continued "Oh stop talking so she can't give me a goodnight kiss?" replied Zed "No, it's all in the look and the tone of his voice but you see nothing or what?" replied Frederic "Listen I'm super tired and I have to work tonight for the debate tomorrow so let's sleep in peace." cut Zed "Before going to sleep, I would like to tell you a little story" launched Frédéric "Oh please your story can't wait until tomorrow?" refused Zed "Good if you want." reacts Frederic "Cool" replied Zed Then they went up to their room During the night around 1am, Zed's phone rang. He was not sleeping soundly. He took his phone mechanically. It was a message from Vania. "Hi Zed it's time for study" read the message. Zed yawned Then he began to write: "Vania please I think my head is in the clouds because of the alcohol I drank I will be able to reason
…Frederic nudged Zed. "What like that" asked Vania ironically. "Well you know Vania it's something we should talk about with a clear head maybe when we get back to the hotel" cut Zed "No, why not here?" Frederick insisted. "Yes Zed you can tell me now it's okay." reassured Vania "And I think I'm going to leave you alone for a while where would your girlfriends Vania be?" Frederic asked "In the next room at the first table." replied Vania "Great I'm going!" said Frederic After Frédéric slipped away, Vania resumed: "So Zed what did you have to say to me????" "Uh you know Vania is…" Zed stammered. "What is Zed you can talk to me honestly why are you stammering all of a sudden?" reacted Vania "By the way, it was about studies, we thought we'd work after the debate" says Zed embarrassed "Hm, was it just for that?" Asked Vania ironically "I think so" groaned Zed who felt the heat invading him in his jacket. "Okay, what time will we see each other?" asked Vania "I pr
.. Then Frederic went on his way while Vania knocked on the door. Zed came quickly to open it. "Oh you are there!" he said "Yes, can I come in? Or are you with a girl?" asked Vania "Hmm no you can come in." "Wow, I hadn't noticed how small our room was, yours is even bigger." Vanya exclaimed. "Really, please sit down." said Zed Vania sat down on the sofa and put two books and a pen on the small coffee table. "So Zed where do we start" she questioned? They exchanged a noncommittal smile and then Zed sat down next to her. "You have some good books, I've been looking for these authors for a long time, I like their theories on media communication so much," says Zed. Vania smiled wanly. They spent some time studying and making short presentations. After a while Vania sighed: "I think we've studied enough, I already have everything I need for tomorrow." "Are you sure ?" asked Zed "Certainly." answered Vania "I can already imagine you wowing the audience who are watching you att
….Zed began to narrate everything without omitting any detail. "Wow I'm proud of you. But you know I don't like long distance relationships." said Frederic "It's not that complicated. I'll spend all the holidays with my uncle, we'll see each other often." said Zed "Cool I raise my glass to Zed the man who finally knew how to break the ice against his beloved Vania" commented Frédéric. The boys drank too much alcohol and fell asleep half drunk…… The next morning around 7:30 am as usual, all the students met in the great hall for a lunch before the start of the lecture. Zed and his friend Frédéric occupied a table at the back of the room. "I don't like these stupid vegetables they take us for vegetarians or what I want to bite into a beef steak!!" growled Frederic "I'm fine with me" said Zed "That's it and you'll end up herbivorous" replied Frédéric "Stop your bullshit." said Zed "By the way, I haven't seen Vania and her gang" said Frédéric "I've been trying his cell ph
EPISODE 08 ….Zed came and sat next to Vania. "So darling what is it?" "I got a call from my sister saying #Kalvin came home," she said with trembling lips. "But who is Kalvin???" Asked Zed who understood nothing "It's a long story Zed" answered Vania Vania "But go ahead and tell!" said Zed "Well guys I think I have to leave you!" Frederic said heading for the door. "Okay man" Zed agreed. Then he turned to Vanya. "So darling what's the matter?" "By the way Kalvin is the son of a friend of my dad's. We were friends when we were still kids. Kalvin's father, because of their friendship, proposed to my father the idea of marrying off their children. In this I was just a kid at the time. My father accepted and promised that after my studies the marriage would be concluded. Kalvin went to Japan to study automotive engineering. I had almost forgotten him. But tonight As soon as I wanted to take my notes to read a little, my sister called me and informed me that Kalvin was pa
Kalvin wanted to retort, but he restrained himself. He was baffled by Vania's behavior. "You've been acting weird since we've been together," he said concernedly. "I don't know what's happening to me, please don't blame me," Vania pleaded with tears in her eyes. "Are you going crazy or what? What are you doing?" Kalvin thundered, frustrated by Vania's attitude. Vania was whimpering, as if she was the one who had been slapped. Kalvin decided to let it go, realizing he had to seek understanding rather than get angry. On election day, the whole country was immersed in palpable excitement and filled with anticipation. Among the many candidates vying for the legislative elections, there was a particular presence: the father of Kalvin, a respected and committed man, as well as the father of Vania, a charismatic and influential figure. The eyes of the nation were riveted on their respective political courses, as the fateful hour approached. The citizens, captivated by the democrat
…..Zed didn't flinch because he had already seen the “file”. When Frédéric finished reading the letter, he asked to see the photos. There were 5 photos all taken close-up. The first showed 4 men in jackets in front of parliament. On the back of the photo it was mentioned: "Minister of finance on the right and his cabinet colleagues" Zed was surprised to recognize a man among the 4. Yes, his silhouette imposed itself in his memory as if he had known for a long time . He thought until he figured out who it was. "Old man, I think I recognize this man," he informed Frederic. The latter frowned. "Are you sure? Who it is?" he asked curiously. "Yes very sure. He is Kalvin's father I still remember him the day of the political show with Vania." answered Zed "You mean you've even talked to him before?" Frederic asked curiously. "Yes, by chance, he was the guest that day." said Zed "Interesting. I wonder how this Yamine could come up with that!" Frederic said "She has connect
…..Vania wanted to dissuade them but her parents were categorical. As soon as they decided, everyone set off for the hospital….. That evening, Zed had made the decision to open the sentencing case. He put it on the table and eyed it quizzically. “What could it possibly contain? was a question that only opening the case should answer. Between the curiosity to know what the famous file contained and the fear of knowing the truth, he was anxious. He pulled out the drawer, put the folder back and took a walk outside……. The hospital was staffed with nurses and patients. Vania and her parents were in the doctor's office. Vania had taken the trouble to tell the doctor what was happening to her. "How long have you noticed these symptoms?" Asked the doctor. "I don't remember exactly sir," replied Vania. "Okay I just need to do some tests for you to make a diagnosis." said the doctor "Doctor do the needful," said the father. 'Don't worry sir, I'll take care of her,' replied the
….Vania slept soundly. She had a dream in which she saw herself running holding a little girl of barely 5 years old in her hand. A monstrous man was in pursuit. She cried out for help but no one came. The monstrous man was about to pounce on her when she let out a scream as she woke up. She was dripping with perspiration. She got out of bed, heart pounding, poured herself a glass of water. When she put the glass down, someone knocked on the door. She went to open. It was his mother and she was dressed in red pajamas…. Suddenly Vania felt nauseous again. She ran quickly into the bathroom. "But my daughter, what's wrong? I heard you scream," her mother asked. "It's alright mum it was just a nightmare." answered Vania "And why are you vomiting?" replied her mother "Something I can't stomach but it's ok. Please mum you can go to bed we'll talk about it in the morning." answered Vania "Okay, go see the doctor tomorrow, it's safer." said her mother "It'll be okay mom. I
…The next day, Zed had told Frédéric about his conversation with Yamine. "But what does she have to tell you that's so important?" Asked Frederic "I do not know yet." answered Zed "Hmm maybe she wants to flirt with you, eh, I would like a girl who flirts with me, it will make my job easier, I'm tired of chasing after them", commented Frédéric. "You're definitely not going to change my dear, I don't think what she has to say to me is sentimental given the tone in which she spoke to me on the phone." said Zed While they were talking, Zed's phone rang, it was Yamine. "Oh it's her!" Zed sighed. "Hi Yamine." he said after picking up "Hi Zed, how are you?" replied Yamine "Yes and you ?" replied Zed "Not bad. I just want to confirm the appointment today." said Yamine "Okay I told you I'll be there. Can I come with a friend?" asked Zed "Who's that Frederic?" replied Yamine "Hmm yes." answered Zed "No! It's confidential what I have to tell you." objected Yamine "All
…..Zed thought about his situation. He was rewinding his journey from the time he had packed his bags to go on vacation…. He didn't dare lug his thoughts about the masquerade with his uncle's wife. “Why is all this happening to me? He wondered “lost in thought, his phone rang, it was an unknown number, he hesitated for a fraction of a second before picking up with a heavy heart. "Hello !" He said in a disconcerted tone. "Hi Zed, sorry if I'm disturbing you but it's imperative that I talk to you." Said the voice of a woman from the other end of the line. Zed was rummaging through his memory of who the voice could be??? It didn't take long for him to guess... "#Yamine?" he confessed. "Yes Zed." replied the voice Yamine is an editor of a political magazine and host of a political show at the media house where Zed worked before his dismissal…. "Okay what do you want to talk about?" asked Zed "It's strictly confidential, Zed, can we meet tomorrow?" replied Yamine "You k
….Wet with tears Vania was lying down. Then someone knocked on the door. "Open to me, it's daddy!" Said a voice from the other side of the door. She went to open. "Oh my darling daughter what's bothering you are you sick?" asked the father. "Nothing dad just my head hurts," replied Vania "Then I'm taking you to the doctor." said Vania's father "It's not worth it. It will pass." said Vania "Good. I came to inform you that tonight we will be going to Kalvin's house for a meeting with his father." said Vania's father "It's his father who wants me here?" asked Vania "Yes. And he insisted." answered Vania's father "Okay dad." she says "Good. I brought you a present," said the father. "What ?" asked Vania curiously. The father reached into his pocket and pulled out a small brown box "What is this ?" Vania asked curiously. "Close your eyes," said the father. Vania complied. The father opened the little box and took out a gold necklace which he tied around Vania's
…Then the headmaster slipped away. "Zed honey I think you're ready!" said Vania "I was born ready for this job" said Zed "Hum the show-off! Ok." exclaimed Vania A few moments later, they went to the set. Great was Vania's surprise to find that one of the guests was actually Kalvin's father. Zed didn't know and Vania preferred not to tell him. After everyone was installed, the clock was started for the show to begin. “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your attention to our media,” says Vania, "It's time for your political program that you like. Today we are receiving two guests from different political parties who will have to explain to us the political assets to advance the country. Of course, I am not the only presenter, I have with me Mr. Zed who is our guest journalist and who will have to arbitrate this political dialogue with a few questions. Mr. Zed you have the floor." she says "Thank you very much, Mrs. Vania, it is a real pleasure for me to lead this dialogue
….She hadn’t finished talking when it cut off… the phone went off for lack of energy… "File !" exclaimed Frederic. Annoyed, he took off his jacket and went to take a shower…. Vania put her phone down in emotion. "Wasn't that him?" Asked her sister. "Yes it was his friend, he says he's so drunk he passed out." answered Vania "My God! Big sister you should rest, you're in really bad shape." said her sister "I don't know what to do. This Kalvin screwed me up." said Vania As she spoke her phone rang. She thought for a moment that it was Frederic…but no, it was Kalvin. "Oh there he is calling me" Vania grumbled, "I don't want to talk to him. Pick up and tell him I'm asleep." exclaimed Vania Then the sister shot. "Vana, how are you?" Fit Kalvin "Hi Kalvin, Vania is already asleep, you can call her back tomorrow," her sister replied. "Okay please tell her that I have to give her an important document, she will understand." said Kalvin "Okay, I won't miss it." said th
