She was also in hundred level with me studying literature and English language in a private University in Lagos State.She was also crazy,she told me about how she got into a fight with her boyfriend's perceived side chick and ripped her clothes In public until she started begging.It made me laugh but deep down I knew I would never fight over a man with my fellow lady when we were not yet married.

It was a Sunday morning. I woke up as early as six o'clock to wake my siblings up for church service before I recalled where I was. Back at home, you dare not remain in bed after six o'clock Am as our service starts by nine and ends by twelve o'clock. That was in case of the first service. The second service usually starts by twelve o'clock pm immediately after the first but we never did attend it.Second service were mostly filled with elderly people and the sermon was preached by the pastor in native language but interpreted in English by the second man that stood beside the bishop.Aunt Gina never attended any service, not that she had never gone to church before she do go sometimes, but she didn't have any particular place of worship. She said that she believes that since everyone is claiming to be Christians and every church preaching the same word of God, there was no problem in attending any one her spirit led her to.The big difference between her and dad was that dad was v

The last time I saw her before coming out she was already fully dressed but I didn't know she wanted to apply another make up.Mr Charles smiled looking at me little sister, the question kind of threw him off balance but he answered immediately."She's an amazing woman, and she makes me happy, I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her. Immediately I saw her, I knew she was the one, you won't understand how these things happen" He replied looking at me at then back to the person who had asked him a question.She wanted to say something immediately but paused as if she wanted to think about what she was going to say first. The young man felt uneasy on his seat as

We were finally back home after spending almost two weeks with Aunt Gina. And the remaining days for the first semester holiday was less than one month. One thing that surprised me was how more than one month has passed immediately and I haven't even enjoyed the holiday to my satisfaction.Everything has been going very fine and of course aunt Gina's marriage to Mr Charles had already been fixed and it was the ending of this month after the traditional marriage. I was so relieved he wasn't after her money after all as I heard he was far richer than she was and was even from a wealthy family. After many years of waiting she had already found love and I was very happy for her.I was sitting in the quiet reading room trying to finish up with one of my holiday assignment. The weather was very cool and the environment was Serene. I had left the bed room to the reading room because it was always quiet and I wanted to concentrate more on what I was doing.

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

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 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.

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
