Myriads Shades Of Mirabel CHAPTER FORTY FOUR
The bus stop was very busy and filled with passengers, travellers and hawkers selling different things from banana to sausage rolls and fresh breads. It was already few minutes past eight o'clock when we got there, and it was still early but there were already plenty people along the road and also people who had come to take bus tickets for traveling, inclusive traders, primary and secondly schools students. I watched a little girl probably around the age of twelve to thirteenth who was Hawking bananas and fresh ground nuts as she struggled to pass find her way through the busy road and get to a car that was parked at the other side of the road that wanted to patronize her. She didn't want to take any chance of loosing the potential customer as other hawkers also ran towards the car, and finally she got there before then all. I thought she was rather too young for what she was doing. She was actually supposed to be in school and not on the road Hawking. This was actually w

After sitting in the bus for what seems like forever, i was finally back to the home town, the quiet and peaceful town I had grew up in. Meanwhile boolu had already gotten to hers about three hours ago. I got the the bus stop at exactly four o'clock pm in the evening and took a cab from there that dropped me in from of my house.As I got nearer to the gate, I looked around for a while. Everywhere was looking kind of different after being gone for barely five months. One of my former classmate that was a very good friend of mine back at secondary school saw me as he passed by the house with a bike waving at me and smiling widely.As I got home, I realized how I had missed home so much even if all I had ever wanted was to get away from home then. It was very peaceful and safe and it was where I spent all my childhood. The first person I saw as soon as I got into the compound was my elder sister prisca who was sitting outsider on the veranda when I arrived. She left whatever she was

After doing the dishes and saying our last night pray you retired to our various room. It started to rain heavily with intense thunder and lightening and heavy wind. This kind of night when it rained heavily was my ideal night, I loved the sound of the rain drop as they poured heavily on the zink with familiar rhythms. It made the weather very cold and I hugged my teddy bear tightly.My elder sister prisca came into the room after she finished bathing tying a white towel loosely on her chest and I wondered if she was not feeling the cold.After changing into her night wear of red top and trousers spotted with black she jumped on the bed. The bed bounced making me to almost fall of and I chucked. We always did not when we were little before going to bath especially on rainy days and it brought back old memories.After some minutes, she turned to me and I immediately knew what was coming. "So this guy you are talking of, imean, your boyfriend how old is he? She asked placing her

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

"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.

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.

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
