I stared at her wide eyed. So she had been keeping this kind of stuff from me and the others all these while and here I was thinking we hid nothing from each other.I wondered how she had been able to deal with all these and still keep her mouth shut until now.After some minutes dad walked out of the room, throwing angry glances at us as he passed the sitting room going outside. I heard him start the car and the next thing he drove out of the compound.There was silence in the house again and just then my came out of the room wearing a long face. I have never seen her like this for a long time. The last time I saw her like this was when I was still In Junior secondary school also when she had a fight with Dad." I would as well end this marriage before this man kills me" She said pacing up and down the living room. You could tell she was actually very angry and could not hide it anymore. She was not someone that showed her anger or made it obvious and anytime she had any issues with

"Mom? Are you okay? I asked after watching her for some minutes. She was. She was trying so hard to look happy as she continued singing a funny music sang in our native language igbo."Of course I am, why? She asked."Nothing, just asking I answered.

Second semester which usually the longest of all had gone so fast and tomorrow paper was the last paper I had for this semester.

"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

"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.

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.

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?

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 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
