They walked into the house and met the girls watching the rebroadcast of the news of the long queue at the school gate, and they greeted, “Welcome back.”They felt like family men, who returned from work and were welcomed by their wives.“Thank you. Have you had anything?” Johnny asked, and took his seat beside Ruby. “Yes. I took one of the fruit juice you bought. It is so nice.”“Really! I'm happy that you love it. We will get more if the doctor says it is good for you.”“It is okay.”Thereafter, Stanley walked into the room and Carmine followed him.At the Stewart VillaAfter Lady Mitchell left her son's hostel, she returned to the administrative block and joined her husband. Nevertheless, they concluded that Ruby should leave the female hostel at once and get accommodation at the special hostel. Sir Stewart paid three years rent for the hostel, considering the number of years she would spend in the school.“Thank you, Sir Stewart. I will personally see that the apartment is ready a

At Hayes' ApartmentIt had been two months since he met Johnny, and he admired him so much. Although, he met Stanley through him, but they have blended as if they had known each other for a long time.“Johnny will soon be a father through Lil Sister,” he mumbled. Little sister was the pet name that he gave to Ruby the day she graciously sat in the front seat of his car after the basket ball game. Although, he was an orphan and a self-made man, who took up the challenges of sponsoring his education by himself. Now, he had graduated and went into livestock farming with his little savings. At that moment, his new company was going through its teething troubles, but he was managing it very well. Likewise, he believed that in a while, he would scale through the hurdles. That evening, after the outing with Johnny, Stanley, and the others, he returned to his one studio flat and meditated on his unsteady relationships.'Why am I not favored in relationships? Do the girls I meet have anything

At that point, she was resting her head on his lap, and facing him. Then, he smiled, and asked, “Why. What is your offense?”“I should have let you know that Prof. Farrell stood in the place of a parent for me.”“I see. It's not your fault. The bickering we had now and then did not allow us to discuss extensively about us.”“I got you. No more bickering. I guess?”“You are right. We should be stable enough to take care of our love baby.”“I love that. Promise me that will you stop emaciating.”Now Johnny showed worries, and asked, “Is it too obvious?”“Not at all. But I wish to see your old self.”“It is okay. I will submit my project tomorrow, and take enough rest.”“That is better,” she accepted, and got up from his lap, and began to adjust her hair, “Take it,” he announced. She turned swiftly, and to her delight, he gave her a hot kiss. Thereafter, he said, “I love you, my Ruby.”“I love you too,” she responded, and he got off the car, walked to the passenger's side and opened the

"I don't think it's necessary. When they are through, they would give me a call.”“Through with what, if I may ask? She said they would only pick a few things, and come back immediately,” Johnny reminded him, and got up at once. Meanwhile, Stanley was concerned, “Where are you going?” He asked.“To look for them. It is not safe for Ruby to be moving about. She could be attacked, and you know what it means,” Johnny poured out, and walked out of his room. Now, Stanley was frightened by his revelation, so, he gave Carmine a call instantly.“Hello, baby,” she greeted after she picked.“Can I come and pick you, if you are through with what you are doing in the hostel?”“You can come over. We are at Ruby's house in the estate,” Carmine explained without considering the weight of their act on him.At that point, Stanley was distraught. He had not come to terms with the Vice Chancellor arranging for accommodation for Ruby, even if he stood in place of her parents.“Could it be part of the scho

At that point, he was inwardly worked up, just as he always was, whenever he recalled the fast one that Johnny pulled on him three years ago. The thought of made him to believe that everything seemed to be against him. Although his wife and daughter still lived with him, but they were strangers to one another. Instantly, his thoughts wandered to that ugly day.Three Years Ago.Mr. Fredrickson, a fifty-five-year-old man, was employed by the school a few months before Johnny was admitted into the university. He lived all his life in the remote area of Chidek and was unaware of how the society works. He got the job at Mount City University on the recommendation of the government. The employment was a compensation for being the longest serving lecturer in the local university, had persevered in his career and remained in the Hamlet without social amenities. His employment in the school was the first time he stepped out of the remote area since he was born. He schooled there, and the schoo
