In the night around 8 pm, Susan received a text from Thomas while she was sitting with Richard on a bed in his room.
Thomas: come to gate of the house, I'm waiting for you.
Susan: Okay, I'm on my way.
She texted back his message with a smile on her face and stood up. She was wearing a very transparent night gown at the time.
"Where are you going to?" Richard asked curiously when he noticed her going out.
"I just want to go and see something," she replied and headed out.
She walked of the gate and saw Thomas standing understand a tree that was opposite the house. He folded his arms and leaned himself against the tree as he watched her approached him. His heartbeat increased as she got closer.
"So, what brings you here at this time?" She asked holding her waist.
"I've never been so desperate in my life to see someone in my life until now. I would lose my mind if I didn't see you,
In the evening, around 5 pm, Achuba arrived. He went to Richard's room and found him sitting by the edge of the bed going through his phone."Hey Richard," he called out as he walked in."Hey Achuba!" Richard looked up."I'm sorry for not coming earlier, you know we are in the middle of the semester, things are pretty tough right now," Achuba apologized."Is okay, I totally understand," Richard smiled."So, how are you feeling now?" Achuba asked."I'm much better now," Richard answered.Achuba proceed and sat beside Richard. He tried to grab Richard's phone, but Richard quickly put it away."Hey, are you cheating on Rebecca?" He asked sarcastically."I'm not that greedy you know," Richard laughed."If you are not cheating on her, then why did you hide your phone from me?" Achuba asked."Is something embarrassing, I don't want you to see it," Richard repl
It was midnight, and Rebecca could not stop crying. Even though she saw her mother's death coming, she couldn't believe it actually happened. She wished she could wake up for that nightmare. At some point, she got up to go to the bathroom. As she was passing by Emmanuel's room, she heard him crying in his room. She opened the door and walked into the room. He was sitting by the edge of the bed crying when she walked into. When he looked up and saw her, he ran to her and hugged her. She couldn't feel his tears wetting her clothes."I'm so sorry," Rebecca cried."What are we going to do now?" He asked."I don't really know Emmanuel, but I'm sure God is with us," Rebecca said."If God is with us, why did he take our mother away from us?" He asked."Because his place is better than here," Rebecca replied."I wish this was not real," he said."Me too," Rebecca replied.He
About a 3 months later, Richard had started his business of poultry and fish farming. Things haven't been easy for him from the beginning, because he hasn't sold any of his product yet. He was able to raise five thousand chickens and countless number of fish. Today was a big day, because he was going to sell his fish for the time, and it was also Rebecca's birthday. He woke up early in the morning around 6 am and took a bath before any of his roommates could wake up. He got dressed in a blue Shirt and a black trouser and left the room.He boarded a taxi that will take him to his poultry farm. The poultry was about five kilometers away from his university, and about 3 kilometers away from where Rebecca is staying. Her Aunt sent one of elderly cousins to live with her and Richard decided to move back to the hostel. Rebecca tried her best to him convince to stay, but Richard thought she needed her family. Since then, Rebecca has been very mad at Richard. She hasn
It was a lovely morning; the university compound was surrounded by many students as it was the first day of the semester.Everybody was walking in a hurry heading to his or her faculty. Then came Richard, a boy with an average height. He was wearing a T-shirt and black jeans. On his feet were sneakers that seemed to have matched his shirt. He got admitted into the institution 5 months ago with the help of his elder sister.She worked tirelessly to see that he got admitted into the university he desired. For that reason, Richard put in all his best in his studies making him the student with the best result in his faculty the previous semester.He walked in a hurry as though he was running because he was seriously late. He usually departs his dormitory by 7 am in the morning which was very close to his faculty. But due to the fact that he had changed a dormitory, he had to wake up much earlier than that if he wants to get to his
Richard entered his room in the dormitory. He met 3 other students which he was supposed to occupy the room with. The room was of medium size with a wardrobe located opposite to the entrance. There were two metal bunk arranged at the right side of the room, and the third one is placed on the left side.There was a ceiling fan moving at a very fast speed. Two of his roommates seemed to have just arrived from their home with their luggage."You are all welcome," Richard said to them and proceeded to shake each and every one of them."Are you also in this room?" one of the boys asked."Yes I am, there is my stuff," Richard pointed a table with some items on it."You must be rich, how can you leave the door opened with your stuff left unprotected?" one of the boys asked surprisingly."I don't think I own anything that worths stealing in my bag," Richard grinned. "You never know the importance of
The next day was a very wet day. Richard got caught in the rain on his way to his faculty as soon as he got out of his dormitory.He quickly ran to building close by because the running water can ruin the new shoes he was wearing. He folded his arms and watched as the rain fell heavily. About 30 minutes later, a girl in her school uniform approached from afar.She was holding an umbrella with her right hand, while her left hand was in the pocket of the blue sweater she was wearing. She wore a white sweat hat that covered her ears with black gloves in her hands.The combination looked beautiful on her that Richard kept staring wanting to figure out who the girl was. When she got close, he noticed that it was the same girl he had an argument with the other day. They both looked away.Albeit Richard is not interested in secondary school girls, something about the girl seemed fascinating.
By the 3 O'clock the next day, Richard met Prof. Grace in her office. "Good afternoon Ma'am," Richard greeted as he entered the office."Good afternoon, how are you doing," she asked."I am doing okay," Richard responded."How are your studies?" She asked again."Excellent ma'am" Richard responded. "Good, that's what I love to hear," Prof. Grace said. "So, have you decided yet?""Yes I have, but only if it will be three times in a week," Richard conditioned."Three times is quite enough," the Professor agreed."Please sit there and let me finish some of my work before I will take you to my house and introduce you to my daughter," she added and Richard sat on a cushion opposite to her. She worked for about 30 minutes before she finally finished."Sorry I've kept you waiting, we can go now," Mrs Grace said as she stood up.She walked out of the office with Ric
The next day, Richard went his lectures early in the morning as usual. He was the first person to be in the lecture hall. So he sat at the first seat and watched as everyone walked in.He was expecting to see Janet, but she didn't come even after their lecturer arrived. As the lecturer was about to walk into the lectures hall, Paul quickly walked in before him because the lecturer does not allow anyone to walk in after he has. Paul looked around and noticed an empty seat beside Richard and he knew it was reserved for him. He quickly walked to Richard and sat on the seat beside him."I wonder what you always do in the morning that makes you come late for lectures," Richard nagged."I have been asking myself that too, but I couldn't come up with an answer," Paul responded."Well, you better get yourself together or you regret it later," Richard advised."Alright dad, I will take note of

One week later, Richard finally got discharged from the hospital. Rebecca suggested that he should stay with his sister in her place until he's fully recovered. The doctor gave him the final check up and he was adviced on things to do to improve his health. At around 10 am, Richard was ready to leave the hospital. Thomas and Achuba helped Richard to walk to Rebecca's car that was parked outside while Susan and Rebecca walked behind them. Rebecca quickly walked to the car and had the car opened for them. Richard, Thomas and Achuba sat at the back, while Rebecca and Susan sat in the front. Rebecca started the engine and started started driving after everyone had sat down."So, doesn't that mean his shooter has gone free without getting arrested?" Susan questioned."Well, the shooter was not identified that's the police couldn't arrest anybody," Achuba explained."That's really annoying. That means he could have died in vain," Susan said a
After the Richard heard the news about his sister, his whole turned upside down. He couldn't think of anything than her. His sister sat in sorrow and watched him crying like a child. At about 12 pm, Alice and Amirah arrived at the hospital. Rebecca went to the entrance of the hospital and welcome them."You are welcome," Rebecca said to them."Thank you," they both smiled."Why do you come empty handed?" Rebecca asked."Actually, we don't plan on staying long here. We just came to see you and Richard, we'll be on our way back in the evening," Amirah replied."That's unfair," Rebecca frowned."Okay we'll spend the night here, we will leave the first in the morning tomorrow," Alice inferred."Alice, have you forgotten that my shift starts tomorrow?" Amirah asked."Come on, is just a single day, you can call one of your friends to cover for you," Alice said."How is Ri
Afternoon arriving at the university teaching hospital, Richard was taken to the emergency room where the doctors started operating on him. Rebecca sat on the waiting bench with her hands covered in blood. Her face was completely wet with tears as he had cried terribly. She wished and prayed that he will be okay. She had never been so scared in her entire life like she was at that moment. As she was sitting, her mom suddenly call her on the phone.Prof. Grace: I heard that a student has been short, where are you?Rebecca: it was RichardProf. Grace: you what do you mean it was Richard?Rebecca: Somebody shot him, he currently undergoing a surgery.Prof. Grace: Oh Lord, where are you?Rebecca: I'm at the teaching hospital.Prof. Grace: okay I will be right there.After the call, Rebecca went into one of wash room and cleaned herself up. By the time she walked out, her mom had arr
It was the happiest night of Richard's entire existence. He walked back to hostel excited feeling like he's floating on the air. By the he arrived, it was already midnight and Achuba and Thomas had already slept. He wished he wished they were awake so that he can his happiness with them. He lied on his without any sign of sleep in eyes. He remained like that for an hour until he got to the where he couldn't take no more. He jumped down from his bed and tapped Achuba on the shoulder."Wake up," Richard whispered.It took minutes before Achuba woke up when he noticed that Richard is not going to give up."What is it you have to tell me that you can't wait until morning?" Achuba asked as he sat up with his eyes still closed."I almost kissed Rebecca today," Richard happily announced."Really?" Achuba asked, and this time, his eyes were widely opened."How did that happen?" Thomas who was lying on the other sid
Is been a week, and Richard did not see Rebecca nor visited Prof. Grace. It was in the noon and Richard was through with his lectures for that day. They were about to leave when one of the final year student of their department walked into their lecture theatre."Can I please have your attention?" He requested and the place became silent and those leaving decided to wait and listen what he had to say."I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but we just need some few minutes of your time," he continued."Is okay, we are listen," said one of the people."As you know, the school election will take place next week. So if you don't mind, some of the contestants would like to deliver their campaign speeches," he announced.Few of the students left without waiting for the contestants to come in. Richard wanted to leave, but Thomas insisted that they must stay. They sat in the front and watched as the contestants walked in to
