Two freshly cooked plates of jollof rice garnished with slices of tomato and cucumber with a piece of chicken on it and a plate of salad was the sight that greeted Gabriella when she walked into the dinner room while following the aroma that assaulted her nostrils as she stepped foot inside the house. "Hmmmmmm, this is the advantage of having someone else in the house", without taking off any of her clothes Gabriella sat on one side of the table and began devouring this sumptuous meal while moaning in sweetness. "You could not wait to ask for who cooked the food before jumping on it like an angry lion that haven't eaten for days". Eleana said with a laugh as she walked into the room holding a jug of pineapple juice. Gabriella paused and looked up with a guilty expression as she chewed slowly on the piece of meat in her mouth. She gulped and dropped the spoon in her hand then stood up, walked quickly to Eleana and gave her a big hug and a peck on the cheek. "Thank you my darling f

Andrew had just set the table when the girls came out from their rooms. "Right on time ladies, breakfast is served", Andrew said as he took off the apron he was wearing, he then brought out a chair for Gabriella and sat down on another. Gabriella sat down and dived into her food without a second thought as for Eleana, well, she was still sceptical about how the meal will taste. Seeing that her friend was looking at the food warily, Gabriella burst into a round of laughter. "Just taste the food Eleana, it's not poison", Strengthening her resolve Eleana took a bold step and took a bit of the cheese and chewed slowly. Both Gabriella and Andrew were intently watching Eleana's expression after she took a bite. At first Eleana's expression was that of someone who is being forced to take a bitter pill but after taking a bite from the food her expression slowly changed to surprise and delight. "Hmmmmm, hmmmmm, this.....this taste really good. Wow!", Eleana couldn't form the words prop

At the city's general hospital: Dane, his mother and the school teacher were waiting for the doctor's diagnosis when Eleana rushed into the building. "Excuse me, where is Gerogina Diamen?", Eleana asked panting heavily. "Hold on a moment", the receptionist replied as she checked the records. "Second floor, room five ". Eleana rushed to the Elevator but it had gone up already, unable to wait she took the stairs and ran up as fast as she could. The doctor was speaking to Dane when Eleana got to where they were. Seeing the doctor talking to Dane, Eleana knew he must be the one that attended to Georgina. "Doctor, doctor, how is she? how is my daughter doing? Where is she?", she bombarded the doctor with questions as she grabbed him tightly. "Calm down Madam, she is fine. You are the mother?", "Yes, where is she? Can I see her now?", "She is currently unconscious, it seems she hit her head on the ground hard but she is fine, the young man on the other hand, not so much

"Is that....?", Gabriella inquired pointing to the bed. Looking at the direction she was pointing at, Eleana smiled gently and nodded. "Yes, that's Isabelle". "Oh my gosh, she is breathtaking!", Gabriella marveled she walked closer to look at the sleeping Isabelle. "Hmm, but why are there two beds in the room, isn't this supposed to be a private ward", "Yeah about that, apparently the man that saved Gabriella from being hit with the car stayed in the room with her. I think he requested for it", Eleana stated. "Speaking of which, I didn't ask for his contact or name so I can thank him properly ". "Ahh, yeah, he definitely deserves a proper "thank you" from us.......," noticing Eleana's exhausted expression, the grey dress she wore only made her more pitiful, Gabriella continued, "Right! You haven't eaten right and you will probably need a change of clothes too, I came here straight from work after I got your call and forgot about this". "It's okay, I can just wear this ag

It was more than two days but Georgina remained still in her bed showing no signs of waking up. The doctor said everything is fine with her medically, it seems to be a traumatic condition. I don't need to guess to know what traumatic experience that is. Eleana was beside herself with worry as she kept on pestering the doctors and nurses that comes to the room. Isabelle sat on the other bed with her big eyes staring at everything, the white walls, the beep monitors, the nurses on their blue gown walking in and out-- it was quite a spectaclefor her as she rarely leaves her home. Eleana decided it was best for her to skip school for a while, she didn't know what else Dane was capable of. Speaking of which, he never came back and his mother calls occasionally, her help has been Gabriella but she has a lot of work today and could not stay with her because she was here all day yesterday giving Eleana time to go file for a divorce. __Who was I kidding? Thinking I will get a fresh s
