Candice understood his point very well because the only thing she ever wanted was to be able to give her child the best life, to give him anything he would ever want, her brother had made her believe that God was going to be there for her and the baby, and she believed that too.
“Wisdom, I get you okay, I do but God will provide, He has given us this baby for a reason, it wasn’t a mistake, yes it wasn’t planned but we can do this right? Think of how beautiful the baby will be, just think of that hey, please.
We can do this, we can make him happy, let’s put people’s feelings aside, let’s not think of what they will say, this is our lives and what happens isn’t anybody’s business right? I mean that’s what you always said to me, just take a breathe and think about it”. He tur
The journey she had started wasn’t easy, it wasn’t going to be and it was never be, she just tried to make it easy by trusting her God otherwise it was the hardest thing she had ever went through. Wisdom was furious with her because of her stubbornness, but they apparently met in a mall in our of Candice’s good days, unexpectedly, out of the blue they found one another in each other’s toes. Well, both of them were facing down busy with their big smart phones. They smiled on each other, actually the both did, it’s not like Candice started with the smiling thing no! it just automatically happened, one would tell that they had known each other for a very long time. A tension followed after the smile, no one knew what to say, what to do or how to
"Come here, I would like us to have a quick important talk”. That made her heart beat even faster.... “Are you pregnant”? That went bad for her, she was tongue tied, puzzled beyond expression. “NO! NO, MA! How can you even think that of me, your daughter, so you assume I sleep around with guys”? There was silence, she didn’t talk much but she just pulled up her lose shirt and that’s where the secret was. It wasn’t even under visibility, it was just easy to sight. It was just easy to see, she was tongue tied but she didn’t keep it for long. &nbs
It wasn’t the makeup that made her pretty, her skin was just natural itself, with no foundation or face makeup powder. One wouldn’t say she had a life luggage from the way she dressed, walked, but from everything she never stopped thinking about the problems she had left home, it was always eating her up, it’s just that she never showed it to the world. At work, she was normal and perfect. A part of her wanted to go back home and apologize but then she felt like she must wait a bit until she was strong enough to face them and stick up with the decision that she had made. She always went through with the day without any problem, until she got a call from a guy she didn’t know who insisted to see her the day after in the morning before she went to work.
“Wow Miss Candice, wow,’ he said that whilst clapping his hands and all eyes in the coffee shop were on them. "I have never had such expression in my life, you are so intelligent and…my goodness I cant say what I would like to say but all I know is that you are a one in a million Candice! My goodness! Well....I had been sent by my editorial team to conduct an interview with you by asking various question but you know what, let them go to hell with that, because this was our interview and guess what? Its done! You got the job”! “ What! Oh my God"! She screamed like nobody’s business, knelt down and thanked God in heaven, she just said ...
Just as she was typing her columns in the house, she felt cramps around her stomach, it was so painful in a way that nobody could understand. She knelt down on the tiled floor, squeezing it, trying to ease the pain but it got worser. She didn't know who to call, or text, tried to reach for her phone which was on top of the coffee table until she succeeded. Worse thing is it had a password and it took longer to unlock it since she was shaking. She pulled up the phone to her ears and called her friends but their phones weren't picked up, and again she wanted to call Wisdom but later decided No! She can't. She scrolled the contacts in her phone thrice then she remembered that she had someone's number,
Fortunately for her everything went well, the great hospitality she received was warm and that warmed her heart in an unimaginable way. She learnt all the ropes but not all of them. She learn Italian cuisine, Chinese cuisine and of course the western food. How to cut and chop veggies and how to peel seafood and it looked like hard work to her when it was but that was nothing compared to what she had to do the next day. Her Hardest part was chopping lots of countless onions... She almost dropped down like a young kid sighting a ghost because of that, but good thing is she told herself that she was going to get used to it like everybody did, like everybody does.
“Wow! My goodness you shouldn't have though, thank you so much, I can't thank you enough, but since am on lunch, we can eat together, well that's if you don't mind”.“ Of course I don't”. They went to the nearest place where they could just sit.……………………………All she ever wanted was to make a great impression to him, well, maybe a first great impression. Candice liked the guy so great for her to go through all the trouble. She wasn’t a good cook, she knew that, she was a 4 out of 10 with average, so it wasn’t good at all”.
“Ahhhh! She wanted to let it continue ringing so that it could not look like she was expecting it… hi, I mean hello sir...“how are you mam"?“I am well sir and how are you there”? She was on an up and down, couldn’t sit..“I don’t have much choice but to be on the seventh heaven since Mrs. me made my day” .She couldn’t stop smiling and the reference made her laugh.“Well, that’s great because Mrs. him is also excited today, she wishes to rewind the moment”.T
