‘Wow! That was close. If mother had demanded for money from me, I would have been in for it,’ he smiled as he had gotten a positive response for his worries. ‘JT, your food is served,’ his mother called. He walked towards the table, sat down and prayed before savouring the food. He smiled at each spoon he put into his mouth and relished the food that had so much great taste. He praised his mother’s cooking prowess. The birds were chirping in the neighbourhood. From one mango tree to another they made their nests. They hopped on top of all the trees from a mango tree to an orange tree and then to the hibiscus flower in front of Justice’s house. They tended to the flower with their constant hopping as Justice would do during his leisure. Apart from designing buildings as an architect, he also had another thing that turns him on, a hobby he wouldn’t dare let go even if he wanted; tending to the flowers. He lazily opened his eyes as the morning ushered in a new dawn. He made to

Immediately, he saw an oncoming bus, the conductor of the bus was calling out to passengers going to the Island. He hailed the conductor and the bus stopped. He was anticipating going to the rear as usual, when the conductor gesticulated that he should sit in the front seat since no passenger was there. He agitated but eventually gave in. He opened the front door to enter and while he was about to sit on the passenger’s seat, he noticed in front of the bus just directly facing the driver, the picture of Jesus Christ with a halo on it. He sat down and for some moments, was captured by what he felt was the presence of God. He sat still and prayed within him again for the second time that God should make his day auspicious. He didn’t want any inauspicious moments in his life again. He dozed off in no distant time and scenes in his life were just flashing before him kaleidoscopically. He opened his eyes to the clean mass of water. He realized he had reached the Island and sprouting f

She carried her in her arms and kept her in her shoulder as she walked in to lay her down. ‘Madam, ma’am,’ A voice was calling out to her and a hand was trying to wake her up. ‘Uhh,’ she started. ‘Well, I’m sorry ma’am you h’d better wake up otherwise you would miss your flight,’ the air hostess said. ‘Thank you,’ she said as she adjusted her sun-shade and rose to move. ‘You are welcome,’ the voice said.The queue was almost disappearing by the time she reached. She was almost the last person to be checked. ‘How long had she been sleeping in that reception hall?’ She asked herself.She went straight to the security officials checking passengers and their luggage.All her life she had never experienced this.She could not allow herself to come up with an answer regarding the reason behind her sleep this afternoon. She prayed that today should be auspicious given the fact that she was going to fly in the next couple of minutes.When the security official was through with his sc

‘Kleptomania is a mental condition, a disease that causes a strong desire to steal things, often with no wish or intention to possess the things stolen.’ ‘This is serious,’ exclaimed JT. ‘How is the father of this girl protecting her?’ ‘In the light of the law, she’s been protected since her father is a justice. He makes sure that she is never prosecuted.’ ‘Why then doesn’t he, kind of restrict her movement?’ He asked. ‘He wants her to live a normal life hoping that one day nature would reverse what it had done on her.’ ‘Well, I hope so too.’ ‘Now to your second question…I happen to be a lawyer by profession and I work as a team with two or three other lawyers for the company. Secondly, I watched you enter the mall in a confused state and that was how I figured out your problem. And to your third question, let’s just say that I decided to put my emotions under control.’ ‘You mentioned a company. Which company are you talking about?’ ‘I’m talking about the same company for whi

‘You’re welcome,’ she said. She reversed her car and viewed the happy moments of loved ones and also shared in their happiness. When it was evident that she h’d had enough, she drove off. ‘My son, welcome back,’ his mother uttered. She hugged him for a very long time like a lost child. ‘Tessy, you are going to suffocate the boy,’ his father said. ‘Yes, let me suffocate him I’ve missed my boy so much.’ She said amidst tears and sobs. He wound his hands around her and took her in. His father only followed them and shook his head as he joined them. ‘Women, when will they ever change and understand the life we are living?’ He chuckled. ‘Justice you are indeed a great person. Who knows? You must have come from a lineage of great people.’ The M.D said. ‘Well sir, I think the credit goes to God almighty for bestowing me with such wisdom.’ ‘You have made my day my boy and this call for celebration.’ He came close to JT and placed his hands on his shoulder and led him to the recepti
