MORNING FIGHT

I annoyingly grab the buzzing phone under the duvet beside me and swipe up the receiver button without checking the caller. I slept for a few minutes to three minutes because we had a long and heated talk with Deep. I don't really get this guy, and I hope that things will take a turn from the direction they are taking.

"Hello!" I greet the person on line, and Paul's voice comes from the receiver's end. "Hello, detective! What's up?" I ask.

"They approved the permit to exhume the bodies." My heart jumps, then it stops right after. What if... just what if? I shake off the butts from my head. This is it. This is the only way to solve my father's misery. He must be there. Where else could they have taken him? Ajay assured us that this was the only place where everyone Ejay killed was buried. The desert in which the main club was built is where he dumped all the bodies. It will be a hard task, I know, but I will give it all the time. I will finally be able to give my father a decent burial

    Damn it!This was not us before. It kills me to see us this way. But since I don't know what his problem is, I will just swim in this heart-wrecking mood and hope that things will cool down eventually. I serve the breakfast, which we take in utter silence like two strangers who haven't been introduced to each other. Like two mute strangers, because I believe that a stranger with the ability to speak would have at least aired even just a ‘thank you for the breakfast’. But not this one. It is like my efforts mean absolutely nothing to him.I clean the dishes like good wife material and walk to get to my room. My room is in his house. I don't spot him anywhere as I walk upstairs, and I figure out he has locked himself in the study or his bedroom to avoid me. I am now a plaque or a calamity, that he wants to avoid. I toss everything in my suitcases without caring to fold anything, leaving only jeans, a tee, and the sports shoes I'll be wearing.I take a towel and walk to the shower. I wou

    Alas! Time damn flies, huh? It's been a week since I moved into my new place. A beautiful place with a serene environment, peaceful and quiet—exactly what I like, but for some reason, the silence is just too much. I'm not so good at making friends, so I don't even know my next-door neighbor.I drag my feet from the bedroom to the kitchen to make breakfast with my phone in my hand, staring at his WhatsApp profile—yes, him. He is the reason for my foul mood this early morning. He is the reason why I hate the annoying sound of silence, which I have always loved. Since the day I left his house, after making me believe that all was life on the moon between us, he has gone absolutely mute. No call, no text, no visit. No nothing! Why? Didn't he ask whether he was welcome to visit me here, and I said a warm, merry yes? Did he not say that he respected my decision to leave his house? What's more, he even has a spare key to my house, just like I have mine. What's with the silence now? Is this

    "Aah.. Mr? Drop me here, please." I say this to the cab driver."But, miss, you said you were heading to Ngara." He states, And men, I know what I said, but I can decide otherwise, right? I feel like snapping at him, but I keep my cool."Yes. But I have changed my mind about going straight home." I say as he pulls over at the Gevangee Gardens on the outskirts of Nairobi CBD. I hand him a note as my payment and walk out without caring for the change.The Gevangee Gardens are a small, public chilling place. It has nothing as decoration but beautiful yellow flowers that look so bloody on a chilly evening like this one. No activity takes place here. Like I said, it's a chilling place, and so I drag my feet inside it, forcing a smile on people who recognize me. They are too many for my liking, though, because I'm in no mood for anything.How can I help when my sister is taking my boyfriend away from me? Crap! My boyfriend, huh? Talking of boyfriends, I didn't know this garden was a romance

    "I didn't know I was not welcomed." He says he is sitting right beside me, too close for my liking. "Why? Were you expecting someone else?" He speaks. He sure knows how to annoy me.I snap my eyes in his direction. I feel like strangling him right now. "You are impossible!" I fume and stand up. I need a glass of cold water to calm myself before I explode at him. If all this anger I am feeling comes out, I don't think he will want to see me again. He grabs my hand before I can take a third step, stopping me in my tracks."Why are you so mad?" He asks, standing in front of me.Why, huh? Why? What a rhetorical question!I jerk my hand away from him. "Can you explain why you haven't called in a week, why you didn't pick up my calls this morning, and why exactly you went to see my sister without telling me?" I fume at him, crossing my hands on my chest.He smiles. A smile that makes me want to slap the shit across his face. Or kick his annoying ass out of my house. What is there to laugh a

  • RESCUED BY THE DON'S BROTHER   BREAKING POINT

    I walk into the familiar room with a plate of food and drop it on the table like I have been doing for the last couple of days. My sister's condition is deteriorating day by day. I thought she was acting up all along, but now this thing is taking a toll on her. Ever since our last fight, she has refused to come out of her room. She hasn't eaten anything for three days now, despite my constant pleas. I prefer the time she used to snap or yell at anyone, however uncouth that was. Now she doesn't talk to anyone. All she does is stare at empty spaces. She is always lost in her own world. She is not okay, and I am deeply worried.Partly, I take the blame for her condition. I was too harsh on her the last time. Maybe it's all my fault. If I hadn't uttered all those hurtful things to her, she would not be like this. If only I controlled my emotions, my anger, and my frustrations, nothing like this would have happened. The plate of food I left for her yesterday is still full and still sitting

    Mornings are always known to bring new hope, but that isn't the case with me. Every day, I am drowning in more and more disparity. Problems keep piling up, and I am now in a quagmire again. On one hand, there is my sister, who is on the edge of giving in to her tormentor. On the other hand, Deep has decided to punish me in the most hurtful way possible.The dinner with his mother is tomorrow. I expected that he would keep in touch and ask how my plans for the dinner were. But the jerk didn’t. I swallowed my pride and called him about it last night, and can you imagine the only thing the jerk said was, "The chauffeur will pick you up at seven," and after my bitter "okay," the next thing was him cutting the call? Like hell! There was no, ‘How are you? How are you doing? Nothing like, I miss you?’He is not just distant, but cold to me now. How can I dare confess my feelings to him with such an attitude? I didn't like that crazy idea of Sheryl, but now I am sure it's a bad idea. An absur

    "Hello, ma'am Gia! How are you? Is there a problem?" The specialist speaks from the other end."Ah, yes. Hi, doc! Can you come to the house right now? I have an urgent situation." I say."Sure. I'll just finish with the patient I am attending to, then I will head over there. Is that alright, or is it so urgent? I can send one of my colleagues there right now." She adds."No, doc. I'll wait for you." I say."Okay. I'll make it there in an hour." He says."That's alright. Thank you." I end the call and stare out of the window.I feel bad enough to even look at her. I hate to see her feeling so defeated. I hate the fact that I have failed to help her without having to result in this. I hate that I had to result in this: "Sorry!"Echoes of pulley silence fill the room!Am I dreaming?Where did that faint voice come from? In this room, and behind me? It's only the two of us here, and she is not talking. She hasn't spoken a word in almost three weeks now. Is she... "I am sorry, sissy. Pleas

    Watching my sister smile again after months is pure joy. It is a pure sacrifice. My heart is still throbbing, and my mind is yet to come to terms with this swift change of events. I feel so happy right now. I feel like a very big load has been lifted off my shoulder. I never knew her condition had such a great effect on me until now.I look at her right now, and I can see traces of the Grace that I once knew. She is still zoning out in the middle of whatever chats they are having, but I am sure she will fully recover and be able to put all that baggage behind her. As a fighter and a strong-willed person that I knew, all she needs is just time and company, and I will be there for her. For all that she may need."I still don't believe it, Gia. I thought she had lost this fight. I never imagined I would ever see your sister smiling." Sheryl says this to me, taking a seat next to me on the bench."I know, right?
