Saturdays were for weddings. In most places in Nigeria, especially the eastern part of Nigeria, and it was not like every other Saturday, it was aunt Gina's wedding.Her husband's and his family had come last two weeks Saturday to fulfill the traditional marriage rite as it was one of the vital part of marriage. They came along with their kinsmen and important relations including some elderly men of the community. Her bride price was paid and marriage list had been given to them, containing important items they should get for the bride's to be family and prominent men.We had gone to the village for all these as it was done at the bride's father's house at the village and not in the city, it was done right where the brides father lived.That has happened last two weeks Saturday and it went very well except that Mr Charles mother was noticeably moody all through the day, from the time they came till the time she left.It was obvious she was not really happy about the marriage and she

It was yet, almost the end of another semester and I was to enter two hundred level the next semester. Second semester which usually the longest of all had gone so fast and tomorrow paper was the last paper I had for this semester. Every examination I took this semester was quite harder than the one of first semester. And this semester everything seems to be going fine and I could say I finally had a best friend. I was very picky in choosing my friends and I had small circles of friends or I even had non.We actually met in the departmental library extension when I had gone to read for the exam. We sat next to each other as we read and then she asked me a question which I answered. As we started talking about some things, I found out that she was from the same state with me and that was how we exchanged number.I actually liked her because she had many things in common and was very smart and I later found out she was in the same faculty with me which was actually faculty of

"About this psycho man, does he just get into the hostel without any aim, like, he just jumps in and out, Just like that? Martha asked as she tore the packet of noodles, pouring the content into the boiling water on the stove."Hmm, no o, many girls has reported about missing items, following the unknown man's entry into the hostel, items like phones and laptops" I replied shaking my head."Are you sure it's not one of these guys from male hostel? Chioma suggested looking up from the the phone on her hand."I don't know, but we would surely find out soon" I replied.After Martha had finished cooking, she brought down he pot from fire and we are the hot peppery noodles directly from the pot. That was a new style of eating noodles she had also taught me and it was one way of eating noodles I would never forget in a hurry. After eating and washing the pot we retired to the bed."I want to see how the two of you would sleep on this tiny bed together, like I just want to see the magic yo

"So why did they postpone the exam? I've never heard something like that before" He asked as we walked down to the kitchen, his hands never leaving my waist."I don't even know what they are talking about, just woke up this morning to see the message on my departmental group chat on W******p" I replied. The aroma from the rice was very nice and appealing. "Did you say it's jellof rice? I asked as we got to the kitchen. The flavour smelt different from that of your normal jellof."Ohh, don't mind me, I meant to say coconut rice" he said scratching his head."Have you tried it yourself before now? I asked going over to the hot pot of food. Opening the pot, I carried a little rice with a small spoon that was on top of the pot."This is the second time. My mom taught me how to make it" He replied. He really learnt well because it was very delicious and almost tasted like my mom's."Wow, it's very nice. Let's just get married" I teased him, turning to face him. But that was just the truth.

We were in the bedroom when Daniels phone began to ring. I was nearer to the table where it was placed so I stretched my hand to get it for him. I looked at the name of the caller and it was his mom. I could see the bright smile on his face as he picked up the call. Both of his parents were alive but it was just as if he had only a parent because only one ever called which was his mom.His dad never called, or even if he ever did, I have never seen him call whenever I was around, only his mom did. And they really had a strong bond and he loved her so much.On one occasion when she called, I had been around and he had told her that I came visiting and she had spoken to me and she seemed very nice. He was very close to her and told her almost everything. Not that I wasn't close to my mom but I have never mentioned anything about my relationship life to her because she still saw me as an innocent kid who knew not about those kind of stuff and I didn't want to disappoint her so I rather t

"Babe? He called. My hands were wrapped around his back now close to his neck as he continued going in and out so slowly that I didn't fell much pain again, only pleasure and ecstasy."Ye..s" I replied."I want you to open your eyes, and look at me" He said kissing me quickly on my eyes, my eye lashes fluttering as I opened them lazily."They are more beautiful when open" He isaid. I wondered how he managed to talk audibly. I wouldn't finish a sentence without breaking of in this condition. And he started to shake and breath heavily and I could almost hear his heart beat fastly and widely and I feel his muscles tighten as I laid beneath him. And then he quickly pulled it out collapsing beside me. He laid quietly beside me without saying any word, his right leg on top of mine. After some minutes I shut my eyes thinking about what happened which was like a dream to me.I pushed his leg slowly out of mine as I climbed out of the bed. I headed straight to the bathroom, closin

I came back to the hostel around five o'clock pm in the evening. I had waited almost all day for the heavy rain to seize and it was still drizzling before I started coming back to the hostel.I was not feeling very fine, not that I was feeling sick or having a stomach ache, but I was just moody. It was unlike me to be upset for no particular reason but that was the way I felt this evening. Perhaps it was because Daniel had travelled earlier, leaving me alone, or it was just a normal mood swing that happened to ladies few times.Daniels mother had called him in the morning today again, reminding him to come home. I almost felt like crying when he had packed and left, leaving me alone in the house. It was not like it was the first time we were parting from each other but it just felt different and I haven't been in a good mood since then although he had called from time to time informing me about the journey or where he was at that particular time. As I got to the room, I pushed the

Waking up the next day, I saw a text on my phone and about four missed call. It was from my elder sister Sarah. Even though we talked very much on WhatsApp and talked to each other on video call anytime we were online, we seldomly called each other unless it was about something urgent.Going through the message, she asked how I was doing and when I would be through with my exams. At the last part of the message she pleaded with me to go to church this coming Sunday and make sure I put our mom in prayers because she was diagnosed with kidney failure. I couldn't believe my eyes so I read the message out afresh to make sure it was correct and I wasn't just seeing things. Was this a kind of prank? I thought reading the message again. I looked at the today's date, and it was not first of April because that was when people played some expensive prank. But even if it was a prank, she wouldn't have used mom. Clicking on the call log, I dialled her number to call, but it was switched off. I

"Good evening" I greeted casually taking a seat."Good evening too" He replied clearing his throat."Please go straight to the point, I don't have time" I said crossing my legs."How impatient you have become" He muttered rubbing his forehead like he always does when he was nervous.What he told me really shocked me. He talked about how his phone had been stolen the day he got home and how he had lost my contact. He talked about how he had received it after some weeks and expected my calls or text but never saw them.Then when school had resumed then he had gone back to school. And after some weeks he had expected me to visit him at least even though I never called but he never saw any sign of me.He said that after some months Martha had come to his place unexpectedly and told him that I had an accident and died in the process back at home. I couldn't believe my ears. I didn't believe him at first but then he asked me to call Martha myself and confirm it in his front. He said she had

It has been almost five years now since I had my baby and she was all grown up now. Everything had been moving very fine until she started asking me about her dad. That had happened when I came to pick her from schools. She had asked me why dad never picked her from school, stating that her friends dad always did so. I had assured her that one day, her dad would come back from were he had traveled to and wouldn't go leave her again, and that seemed to work as she stopped disturbing me about it.She was four years and five months old now but talked and reasoned like an adult sometimes, it really marveled me and people always says that she looked bigger than her age.I could say I was a successful woman now as I owned five big and well known eateries in five different states which I named after me and had some less privileged children studying on scholarship in different schools in my name. Money wasn't a problem to me anymore and I used my money to do good to people, especially the poor

since I opened the mini eatery, the vegetables soup one food that was well patronized and sometimes it there was always shortages. That was until I started cooking more of it than other dishes. There was a special way cooked the vegetables soup. I learnt it from Daniel and I realized that people really loved it. I usually add fresh paper and a little strong fresh tomatoes which gave it a wonderful colour."You're welcome, I really enjoyed it" He replied smiling."You're making me blush now, I'm really glad everyone loves the soup, including you" I said smiling. He nodded and was about leaving when he turned back."Emm...if you don't mind, there's an upcoming food competition I heard a friend talking about. It's being sponsored big companies. The winners of the competition are being awarded big cash prizes and other rewards.

"Someone asked for a plate of vegetables soup and eba" Muna's sister said, moving from the counter to where I sat dishing out some food. She had started working with me some weeks ago."Alright Lizzy, I heard" I said handing the plate of food over to her.Although she was hardworking and very fast, since she started working some people complained that she had no manners and didn't know how to politely to people . I told her about it and she seemed to have improved.As a result of the character of some people that came around to buy food sometimes, I didn't like having blossom around at the shop and also no drink containing alcohol were sold at the shop.As I was about dishing another food out, my phone began to ring. The caller had no name as the number was not saved in my phone and I picked it up anyway, placing it on my ears and with the assistant of my shoulders as I continued with what I was doing."Hello? I said handing out the food to Lizzy who stood impatiently waiting. She took

Finally after four months and some weeks I entered into labour. It was on a weekend and fortunately Anabelle was around. I was immediately rushed to the hospital where I delivered a baby girl.Going into labour and delivering was really the one thing I dreaded most. I had told a nurse about that and how I feared that I might not survive it and she had assured me that I could bear it and after all the pains I would go through the joy of seeing the child would take them all away.That was really what had happened. At a time I thought I might even die as I couldn't bear the pain anymore but when I saw the face of the child, my child, the pain vanished and I became unconscious. Apart from the pains I pass through while pushing, there was no complications.I didn't know I had passed out until I woke up. I had been cleaned up now and I felt better. The baby was laid on my arms and it was a girl. She was so beautiful and looked so much like Daniel.Anabelle had come to see me that morn

It was a beautiful weekend. Anabelle had decided to accompany me to the boutique to buy some clothes and other things I needed. After bathing and dressing up we left for the boutique."This boutique sells good clothes at affordable price, not like those ones that put too much profit on their dresses" Anabelle said as we entered the boutique.It was filled with different people who had also come to buy clothes or hand bags. After getting some clothes a nightie and some other stuffs I needed we paid for it and left for the house. Anabelle also got herself some clothes, ripped jeans and some gowns.There was traffic on the road and we stayed in the bus longer than we were supposed to. I almost vomited there as the smell of the bus made me feel like throwing up but I held myself. Finally we were home. Anabelle wanted to make fried rice so I assisted her in cutting the carrots and cabbages as she washed and boiled the chicken we were going to cook it with."Do you like it boiled or fried"

I got to the park the next day at around nine o'clock Am in the morning as soon as I alighted from the bus, I called Anabelle immediately to inform her that I had gotten there and she told me she'd come and pick me right away and I say at a seat in the park waiting.It was beautiful here and the road was very busy with passersby going there various business.My eyes caught a pregnant woman along the road with a young man beside her holding her, which was obviously her husband. I watched as He held her protectively on her shoulders as they crossed the road.I didn't know when a tear dropped from my eyes to my cheek. I cleaned it angrily. I didn't know why I was becoming too emotional these days and could cry at any slighted thing. I looked down at my stomach, rubbing it gently and forcing myself not to break down and cry. There was no one to hold me like that, no shoulder to cry on right now. I looked at the road again and the couple's were already gone.After waiting for almost half a
