    JUNE BREAK

    June Break-Episode 69


    They say good things happen to them that believe, is not in all cases because I have seen a lot of people that believe and have a positive mind towards life but it never ended well for them
    They become depressed, sad, lonely and bitter.
    Life wasn’t favorable at the end and that was never what they envisioned.
    All they had left is hope and hope never disappoint
    Mine was not just hope, I had a strong believe that things will eventually workout for me.
    I had faith, I believe wholeheartedly that even though my path might have been messed up along the line but I was determined to work really hard to make something good out of my life.
    I wasn’t ready to return home the same way I came out.
    If things didn’t work out with Phil, I wasn’t going to relent, I will make sure I make a name for myself.
    I wasn’t relying on anyone.
    I would have sponsored myself to school.
    It would have been to a part time school that I can afford, studying something different and working hard to secure my future.
    It wouldn’t have been the kind of big and expensive school I attended, courtesy of Phil.
    I will still graduate in my affordable University, get a better job and maybe a car which I would have driven home to see my people, so that they can also know that I’m fine and I’m not miserable.
    But I wouldn’t have met my mother alive.
    Well, that would have been the case but God brought Phil my way and he was loving and patient with me.
    Through his financial assistance my Mom became cancer free.
    That alone means the world to me and I will never forget his kindness in a hurry
    Is already a year after our wedding and can’t seems to get over the honey noon.
    Phil pampered me like a little baby.
    He makes me understand the true meaning of love
    He brings out the best in me.
    He found me when I was lost and at Louise mercy.
    He came through and saved me even without knowing.
    Louise would’ve messed up my life, even though I would have found my way out but Phil brought the miracle easier and quicker.
    Several challenges broke us apart and I thought I had lose him to another woman but God brought us back again to each other and despite how rough the road has been, I sometimes had doubts that we won’t end up together but God had a bigger and better plan and I’m glad that I was patient and hopeful
    My Mom traveled again for her final hospital check up
    She came back last week I drove down in my latest car that Phil bought for me to go see her.
    I stayed for two days and returned back to my dearest husband who was already missing me
    Mark married his sweetheart and his wife became prégnant in no time and later gave birth to a baby girl
    Rachel was the next in line
    Denise became more serious with her after seeing that Rachel has changed
    After the fight we had back at my place, Rachel became calm and considerate of other people’s feeling.
    She was done with her selfish behavior and was ready to embrace the real change.
    She traveled back after my wedding and got a job in a commercial bank.
    After seven months of been in a serious relationship with Denise he finally asked her to marry him.
    Rachel was happy and sent me pictures of her ring.
    It wasn’t expensive ring like mine according to her but she cherish it so much.
    She mentioned that she was equally saving for her wedding.
    Denise wasn’t as rich as Phil but all that matters to her is the fact that he is God fearing and cares deeply about her.
    After a year and six months of marriage to Phil, I was already getting worried on why I wasn’t prégnant yet.
    Phil said i shouldn’t allow that to bother me, we should enjoy ourselves first before babies start coming
    Since we were medically okay, i shouldn’t be troubled with the delay.
    He said we should rather trust God and have faith that at the right time, I will conceive.
    I have always trusted God, I heard faith that at right time I will carry my baby
    And my faith paved the way for me
    after 2 years I became pregnant.
    It was a smooth prégnancy journey for me.
    Rachel gave birth to a baby girl on April 1st. My birth month, she said her name is Marvel and her second name will be April, not just my birth month but she was also given my name
    I felt so honored
     About a year later of celebrating the birth of Marvel April Denise, that’s Rachel’s baby girl, my little prince came forth. 
    Exactly on the 1st of June.
    He was my long awaited miracle, my June break baby.
     The special one that was perfected created by God.
    He was so pinky and cute, all I saw was God’s gift to me.
    I have never loved like the way I fell in love with my June gift.
    It was love at first sight.
     Even Phil couldn’t get enough of his son.
    We enveloped him in our warmth and love.
    We called him Joshua, he will grow up to be brave and strong.
    My story is almost looking like a fairytale, i don’t want it to end.
    I’m happy talking about this beautiful life journey and I’m finding it difficult to conclude 
    This felt like a new stage, another new begining.
    I’m in love with this new begining and I have faith that the rest of the journey will be a great ride.
    No matter how rough it gets, I’m a tough nut to crack
    I will adjust to every situation and keep moving.
    My family is my biggest gift.
    My faith is my wheels as I journey ahead.
    THE END.

    JUNE BREAK

    June Break-Episode 60


    He looked me over again, gasped and said
    “You… you look gigantic..” 
    That wasn’t what I was expecting but it was a great relief
    I giggled a little
    “I can’t say the same about you Pa..”
    Pa used to be the name I call him when I was a little girl.
    I dropped it off during my teenage days and started calling him Dad like every normal person.
    He managed to smile as he opened his arms
    “Welcome home April, my prodigal daughter..” he chuckled as he said that.
    I rushed into the awaiting arm
    It was far easier than I thought.
    He led me inside
    “April is home…”
    He said quietly into the empty house.
    Obviously there’s no one at home because the entire house looks so desérted and lonely.
    It smells more of medicine and earth.
    I saw picture frames on the wall of the sitting room, just like it used to be in our old house.
    I saw my parents picture, me and my brothers.
    My picture was actually there 
    It was not taken øff despite I went missing.
    Seeing my innocent childhood and teenage picture I became so emotional.
    “Where’s everyone…”? I said quietly looking around the entire sitting room.
    My Mom, business woman must be out as usual
    I wonder when she will return
    I can’t wait to see her.
    The inside house painting looks dull and strange.
    Apart from the chairs, TV and dining table there was nothing else fancy.
    The inside house was so stuffy and a bit dark.
    No enough ventilation
    Only one window was open.
    No air conditioner, no standing or even a ceiling fan 
    How do they survïve in this kind of place with little air?
    I was sweating all over in no time because I easily get sweaty.
    My Dad walked into a door that seem like a kitchen, he took water in a plastic cup and went to a closed door that from my guess, is the bedroom but a bit dark.
    I wish my Mom can come back now, I so much look forward to seeing her again.
    My Dad came to join me in the sitting room
    He managed to smile as he sat in the next sofa close to mine.
    “Dad…I went to our house searching for you all and was told it has been sold..”
    I paused and continued
    “…i went asking around until I visited Mario, your friend. He was the one that gave me the right address finally. Not many people knows of your whereabouts..I guess you choose not to tell anyone..”
    He breathed deeply before gasping out again.
    He looks exhausted.
    “I..I can’t still believe that this is you. I’m trying to wrap my head around this whole thing..”
    “Is me Dad. You may call me the prodigal daughter, that’s actually who I am. I found my way back and you can’t start imagining what has happened this past years…”
    He nodded as he heaved.
    I needed to keep talking to keep the mood warm
    My Dad wasn’t saying much.
    I guess he was indeed shock
    “I’m sorry Dad that…!
    “… I don’t know where to start apologising from Dad, I’m back and I regret my teenage decision of ever leaving home. But if I’m to be sincere, I did not totally regret everything, although my life was exposed to danger but it also opened room for me to meet a great and caring man.. Phil. Philip is a kind man and he took care of me when my life was in disarray…”
    “Philip..? My Dad asked and I quickly nodded.
    “…He’s the same guy that you took off with..?
    Before I could say anything my Dad continued immediately
    “… I’m glad that you were in a safe hand. We searched everywhere, involved different police. They promised to find you or the guy but nothing was heard..”
    “… At the bakery where you used to work, they described the guy that usually come over to check you but no one knows anything about him. The day you left, somebody saw you getting into his car with your backpack and they described the car to the police but they still couldnt track it down. Every searched proved abortive. We put up your picture on social media, paste on the streets and road, different organisation and worship centers were also informed in case they see you anywhere, they should try and call the number on the flyer…”
    He coughed out, heaved again
    “…No one had any useful information about you. We supposed to move from the house earlier than we did but we waited and kept hoping you will return but after two years no sign, we decided to leave..”
    “… your Mom saw the short note you left. You mentioned that you can no longer take in the ill treatment we melted out to you…”
    “…April, i realized that we were a bit shrewd without even knowing it. All I wanted was for my first daughter to have the best upbringing. Maybe we went hard on that without even realizing. I can’t start explaining how much your disappearance has caused us. Is a good thing that you found yourself home. Although you look way bigger than I envisage, I was not expecting this huge transformation. What have you been eating or what did the Phil guy fed you that made you so big…” He said and this time, he managed to laugh out.
    I joined him in the laughter.
    “..i know you’ve a whole lot of things to tell us but we can always catch up later..”
    “Yes Dad, a whole lot and the guy I took øff with is Louis. Phil is a good samirithan who saved me. There’s a whole lot to tell.. maybe later like you said…”
    “…Where’s Mom, I can’t wait for her to return. What of David, Mark and Rachel.. where’s Rachel? I guess she’s in school now…”
    I didn’t wait for his reply, and went on talking
    “…Dad.. I’m sincerely sorry that I caused you and Mom so much pain to the extent you’ve really gone down in size. You sold your house Dad, all because of me. You moved to a rented apartment, inside here is sùfføcáting because of the little air coming in. this is far from your kind of house. You like space, comfortable and enough air offcourse. I’m sorry for everything that you and Mom went through because of me…”
    “We didn’t sell the house because of you April, rather because of your Mom…” My Dad said as he stood and asked me to follow him.
    I was still trying to understand what he meant as I followed him to the room he previously took a cup of water to.
    I carefully walked in and stood close to the door.
    A window was open and the second one was closed.
    The breeze blow gently, flying the light white curtain around.
    The room was a little bit scanty, I saw a drip poll standing close to the bedside with a drip on it.
    There’s a trash can close by, the trash in it looks like packs of drugs and tissue paper.
    I looked over at the bed and noticed there was somebody there.
    The cup of water my Dad took in earlier was on a table close to the bed.
    The figure was looking all bone and skinny.
    The head was wrapped up with a scarf.
    My Dad stood watching whoever the person with so much pain in his eyes.
    “Dad… who’s there..? I asked like a whisper while still standing close to the door and stretching my neck to see if I can really recognize the person at all.
    Dad urged me to move closer.
    I did, I stood beside him but still couldn’t recognize whoever the person was.
    It was a female obviously, so skinny that I can trace out her skeleton bones from the nighty hanging loosely on her body.
    There were so many medicine container lined up on the cupboard  close to the bedside.
    Almost everything was close to the bedside
    I guess why is so is because whoever  the sick person is, she can easily stretch her hand and get whatever she wants
    “… Dad..?
    I became scared that I had to look away.
    “Your Mom..” he said quietly without turning to look at me.
    “what do you mean my Mom? I queried as I looked at the unrecognizable sick person on the bed.
    “…No..no way, Is not possible. This can’t be Mom..” I said covering my mouth with my hand to avoid screaming.
    “… this can’t be Mom. How… what happened. This is impossible, you’re joking right…” I said still trying to avoid the sleeping skinny figure on the bed.
    “Your Mom has cancer. Is three years now April. The sickness is traveling with speed…with no mercy it beat her hard. We’ve spent almost everything we have yet the sickness do not want to let go. She has seen too much suffering but we’re not giving up on this…”
    I couldn’t stand any longer
    I rushed out of the room, I couldn’t believe what I just heard and saw.
    Is this some sort of expensive joke
    It can’t be true.
    I heard her coughing hard and long.
    I peeked through from the open door.
    Her entire body shakes with each cough.
    She poured a sputum, brown mucus into a tissue which she threw into the waste bin by her beside.
    My Dad took out some drugs with the cup of water, he moved it closer to her mouth.
    She calmed down and the cough subsided after taking the drugs
    She relaxed back on the bed.
    I walked to the sitting room.
    This whole thing is way too much for me to take in.
    “God ..!
    I exclaimed quietly as I wiped off a tear rolling down my face.

    JUNE BREAK

    June Break-Episode 59


    I walked into the compound, is smaller than expected.
    There’s no security guard at the gate and the compound and house appears small compared to our old house.
    No car packed, my Dad used to have his long time blue BMW
    And is always parked within our compound back then
    But no bicycle, no car and nothing fanciful about the house, not even flowers.
    I’m not sure I’m in the right address
    Mario must have given me the wrong address
    The thought of my parents and siblings living in this kind of place makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
    I thought when they sold their house, they planned moving into somewhere bigger
    The compound is very neat and there’s a beach resting chair outside the door right in front of me.
    Could this be part of the dïsgúise, maybe they thought that buying a smaller house will make people not to put too much interest in them.
    This could be my mom’s idea, maybe she thought whatever that took me will not come back if they make few changes to their lives.
    But I had my doubt, if this is even my parents place
    I breathed in and was about to walk up to the door and knock when somebody walked into the gate.
    I quickly turned to check.
    It was a young woman, holding lunch bags with two kids in uniform.
    She obviously went to pick them up from from school.
    I don’t recognized her, this only means I’m in the wrong house.
    I said it, I was in doubt that this can’t be the house my people moved to.
    They can’t go from “very comfortable” to a lower standard.
    Why will Mario give me the wrong address,? so I will have to go back to him for the right address?
    This is too much unexpected trøuble for me.
    I stepped down and greeted her.
    Is mid afternoon and the sun was scotching.
    “Yes, good afternoon… can I help you..? She asked
    “Probably! I was given the wrong address. I was searching for somebody and the address I had led me here..”
    “Oh! Sorry about that. Are you from around here?
    “Well, I’m not really from here..”
    “Okay, your face kind of looks like Mr James, your facial physique. He’s the tenant that lives in this front apartment with his wife..”
    She pointed towards the house facing us.
    “Wait, did you say his name is James..?
    “Yes, we call him Mr James. His an elderly man, not so friendly though but he’s nice. Everyone keeps to their business in this compound. I live behind the main house, at the mini apartment with my family and there’s another tenant at the back too. Mr James and his wife occupies this front apartment..”
    “Wow.! I exclaim loudly.
    “…the person I’m searching for, his name is also James but not too elderly. What of his children..?
    “You should go ahead and knock, he may end up being the one. Beside, you have some resemblance with them. I hardly see his children, Maybe once in a long while. I think he has only two and can’t tell anything about them..”
    “That’s great then, thank you! You’re very helpful. My name is April..”
    “I’m Lydia. Take care and good luck..”
    She and the kids walked away, I watched as they passed through a small passage way, at one side of the compound.
    Her daughter looked back and waved at me, I smile and waved back at her.
    I guess the small passage way will lead them to their own apartment which she said is at the back of the compound.
    I breathed in slowly and exhale out quietly.
    Could Lydia be right, that the tenants living here are my people?
    Tenant? Why will my parents sell their house only to become tenants in this place, this house that’s not even up to the standard of their sold property.
    That’s ridiculous
    I doubt if the occupants are even my parents. Is not possible.
    Coincidentally, the man’s name is James and we kind of share resemblances, that’s according to Lydia
    It’s all a coincidence and deep down, I’m prepared to start throwing another apology at whoever that lives here.
    After knocking and they come out, I will as usual apologize for disturbing them and let them know that is a wrong address.
    I need to hurry up so that I can return back to Mario and let him know that is a wrong house.
    I forgot to collect his mobile number that day, I could have called him right away.
    I’m just a bit worried about his wife that will start accessing me from head to toe, to know the worth of my attire.
    I gasped out rapidly.
    I felt really nervous as I climbed up the few steps that leads to the front door.
    I raised my hand to knock but immediately drops it back, i breathed in again and then out 
    I need to get myself together and focus.
    I decided to wear a black shade, I don’t know why I thought of using an eye glass,
    I guess is to disguise and to get my confidence back.
    I raised a hand to knock again after another long breath and immediately, the door swings open.
    “Yes?? Who are you…?
    “…we noticed that somebody have been standing here, in the front door and feeling reluctant to knock. Who’re you…?
    He asked again with a frown, it seems he was in the middle of something and I just distracted him
    He was acting impatient, I guess he wanted to go back to whatever he was doing before I interrupted.
    I néver thought anyone could see me.
    The door was made with metallic products and glass.
    They must have seen my shadow standing at the door.
    I watched the wrinkled line on his face with grey hair lined up on his trimmed mustache and also on the short hair on his head
    I was standing face to face with my Dad.
    This feels so unreal, I don’t really know how to react
    I felt frozen to the spot as I watched him.
    The changes is too much for me to take in
    My Dad has aged so sudden. Just five years interval and he aged this much.
    He looks like he was in his late seventies but I know my Dad should be in his early sixty’s
    He still maintained his trade mark look of short hair and well trimmed bears.
    Except that he slimed down and appears more aged than normal.
    Every other thing is still the same with him.
    “…Young woman, who do you say that you are here to see? I have things doing inside and don’t have all day to wäste..”
    He paused all of a sudden and looked at me closely this time.
    “…Apri!..April? is that you..?
    “Dad…is me..” I replied quietly.
    He looks confused as I gently removed my black shade from my face, it was indeed like a dïsgúise but I guess my Dad still figured out that I’m the one.
    “April!..” his voice breaks as he called my name again while looking at me straight in the eyes.
    His face was expressionless
    I can’t really tell if he’s happy or sad.
    This is too emotional than I ever thought.
    Seeing my Dad after all this years, makes me want to burst into a loud cry but I blinked back tëars severally as I stood before him
    Awaiting judgement of either condemnátion or acceptance.

    June Break-Episode 58


    Denis called immediately I was about going into the bathroom to take a bath after the long day.
    He asked if I was already in bed and I told him that I was just about stepping into the shower
    “Okay, that’s great then. Just called to check up. I’m glad we were able to make a good progress today..”
    “Yeah, I’m relieved atleast..”
    “Should I drive you down to meet your parents tomorrow…?
    “That’s not a good idea, I will love to go alone, I don’t want to create another wrong idea in their minds..”
    “You don’t understand me, I’m not going to go in with you April, I just want to make your journey easier by driving you down. Maybe dropping you close by and leave immediately…”
    “Thanks Denis but I want to go alone. I appreciate your help so far. I don’t need any further assistance in getting to my parents, is something I will love to do all by myself..”
    “Alright, no problem. Please don’t forget to call whenever you need a friend. Hope you don’t mind if I still call in the morning to check up and maybe later in the evening to know how the reunion went.”
    “No problem..”
    “Let me allow you go take your shower, tho I don’t mind staying all night long talking with you. I don’t know why I feel so much attracted to you, like ever since I set eyes on you, all I can think of is you and is not just because of your beauty, probably your personality and good spirit, that’s your aura. You’re like every man’s dream. I understand we just met and you don’t really know much about me, I bet you that in no time, you will know everything about me and I hope you will give me a good chance of friendship…”
    “Uhmm Denis, I’m in a relationship and..”
    Denis quickly interrupted before I can say another thing
    “I know April, you’re too beautiful and well trained to be single. Of course I know that you must be in a relationship. I’m not asking you to leave your man, I’m only asking to be just a friend. Although, I wish I’m the lucky guy but I respect you and your relationship and will try to register that in my mind. Hmm! I’m talking too much right, let me allow you to go freshen up…”
    “Goodnight Denis..”
    “Good night pretty..”
    The call ended, I went into the bathroom took a long bath.
    I saw Phil’s miss call when I stepped out of the bathroom.
    I planned to call him later when I’m through with everything and fill him in on how my day went and share the good news of finally getting the address to my parents new house.
    I had a light dinner which I ordered from the hotel menu.
    Immediate I finished changing from my bathrobe, which I initially had on, I changed into one of my night wear.
    I released a satisfying breath as I slipped my legs under the duvet, ready to talk with the only man of my dream.
    Phil called just when I was about to pick up my phone to call him.
    Perfect timing, we’re connected both physically and spiritually. I thought to myself and smile.
    “Hey..my love..” I said excitedly immediately I answered the call
    “How was your day…” He asked coldly.
    “My day was really good. I’m going to fill you in bit by bit..”
    “Good! I have been calling but no response from you, you got me worried April. There’s a time I try but your line was busy…”
    Before he will finish, I interrupted
    “Yes, that must be the time I was talking with Denis on the phone..” I said to him without thinking.
    “Denis?? Who’s Denis..” 
    “Uhh! Denis is a friend, he was the one driving me around and assisting me with the search today until I found my parents location..”
    “Really! A friend, a childhood friend or some back in the hood friend that you used to have before leaving..?
    “Not at all, I just met him yesterday at our former house, his brother lives there with his wife, Denis decided to help me out after we met and he has been the one driving me around since today…”
    Phil became quiet at the other end.
    “…hello Phil, are you still there..?
    “Yes, I’m here. I’m just trying to digest what you just said April, you mean that you’re confidently moving about with a man that you just met? You don’t even know him before now, he only offered to help and you accepted without a blink…”
    He was begining to sound like he was angry but trying to get hold over himself.
    “Phil, I mentioned that Denis brother lives in our sold house and…”
    “And so what..? He cut in
    “… April, I don’t have issue if he used to be your friend back then before you ran away from the house, my problem now is that your Denis is a random stranger, somebody you just met. He decided to drive you around and got you so engaged today that you didn’t even remember to call, I was too occupied today but kept looking out for your call after I called you twice and you said  no positive response yet. unlike you, no call from you all through, even after you finally succeeded in getting your people’s address, I thought I suppose to know first but you never called and when I decided to call later this evening, you’re either not picking or on a call with Denis…”
    “You’re over thinking things Phil. most part of the day, I was really busy going from place to place in search of my parents. I was hoping to update you this evening. I’m sorry that I missed your call earlier or didn’t call you back during the day. But Denis is really no big deal..”
    “Oh wow! His no big deal yet he was with you all through the day and as if that wasn’t enough, he’s on phone with you this night and you probably wouldn’t have called me if I didn’t call..”
    “That’s not true, I was about calling you when yours came in..” I replied getting irritated with the whole thing
    “Let me guess, he’s driving you to your parents place tomorrow right..?
    “Phil, you’re getting unnecessary work up with this whole thing. Denis actually offered but I turned it down and he’s aware that I’m in a relationship. There’s no string attach, he’s just somebody wanting to..”
    “That’s enough…” He cut in. 
    “… since you said I’m getting unnecessarily worked up with this whole Denis issue is better we drop it then. I’m happy that you were able to get the address finally. So you will be going over tomorrow..? He suddenly said with a calm tune
    “Yes, tomorrow morning I will take a cab to the place…”
    “Alright then, good luck with that and goodnight too..”
    Just like that, the call ended.
    I was irritated with the whole talk about Denis and is a good thing he decided to drop it off at last.
    I went to bed feeling exhausted with the whole event of that day.
    In the morning, I got up early, prayed, got ready and before I left I decided to call Phil.
    He didn’t pick up.
    I picked up my things and went to check out from the hotel.
    I was still at the reception when Denis called me.
    I didn’t pick at first, it was mainly because of him i had misunderstanding with Phil last night and now he wasn’t even taking my calls.
    I will try as much as possible to avoid Denis.
    I don’t want further problem.
    Denis called for the second time, I cut the call
    It was the third time I decided to pick up
    “Hello April, good morning.. hope you slept well..?
    “Good morning Denis. sure, my night was good..”
    “Is everything okay, you’re ending my calls..”
    “Everything is fine, just busy here..”
    “, Okay, I’m sorry to bother you. I just wanted to check up and know if you’ve left or you changed your mind and want me to come and take you instead..”
    I was annoyed with his disturbance.
    “I already told you yesterday that I’m fine and don’t need you to drive me. I thought I was clear enough? Please Denis, can we please keep this casual, I don’t want the unnecessary closeness or inquisitiveness with my private life…”
    “Ok.. okay April, calm down, I was only trying to be a friend and help out when you need me. I’m sorry if I’m pushing too hard. I didn’t mean to get you offen..
    A sudden vibration from my phone shows that somebody was trying to reach me.
    I quickly checked and it was Phil.
    Without thinking twice I ended Denis call while he was still talking and answered Phil.
    “I was in the bathroom when you called earlier. Are you set to leave…? He asked calmly after exchange of greetings.
    “Yes, I’m at the reception, I just checked out of the hotel..”
    “Okay…good. Is Denis there to pick you? I guess he was the one you were speaking on the phone earlier when I try reaching you..”
    I was speechless with the whole attitude coming from Phil.
    “Denis only called to check up and I ended his call immediately I saw your incoming call signal. I told you that I will be taking a ca…”
    “Never mind..” he interrupted
    “… Just take care..” he said and ended the call.
    I sighed out loudly
    Picked up my bag and left to get a cab.
    Today is a big day for me, I don’t know how it will all turn out.
    As I woke up this morning, I knelt down and prayed that God will go before me and make me find favor with my parents.
    My heart is racing and I feel really tensed
    Phil’s recent actions is worsening the whole situation for me.
    I got into a cab and off I went to locate my people.
    No matter how this meeting turns out today, I’m glad I made this decision.
    I’m moving ahead with whatever situation meeting them will bring my way.
    I will think about Phil later, what occupies my mind right now is majorly what the outcome of this my journey will be.

    June Break-Episode 57


    “Any luck..? I asked impatiently
    He shakes his head in response
    None of the neighbors have been able to give us any positive reply yet.
    Denis and I have gone round the neighborhood and we even have to do it separately so that we will be able to cover up more houses but so far, no one knows where my parents moved to.
    Some after introducing myself, they became surprise and start throwing different questions
    Asking me where the kidnappers took me to, how did I escâpe, why I changed so much within few years.
    They said I was a small girl the last time they saw me and now I’m a thick Madam.
    I did not only grow more tall, I grew bigger too, they said.
    I even started wearing a face mask and glasses when the whole questions and onlookers where getting too much.
    Denis said I looked suspicious with the mask.
    I had to remove it.
    I remember some of my parents pals, brothers friends and Rachel’s too
    One out of many might have heard something
    Denis drove me to different shops and houses.
    I will first of all introduce myself before asking of my people.
    They will leave the second question and focus mainly on the first
    I was asked all manners of things, even where the kídnâppers kept me and what they were feeding me all the years that made me look so fine and fresh.
    One woman even asked if I was being abúsed while under the custody of the kídnâppers because my bréâst size is  big for my age.
    She mentioned that her daughter is same age with me and her own bréâst is small and she still have lots of learning and growing to do but I look overgrown already.
    After going around with no positive feedback, I had three people in mind before I can retire for the day.
    It was the second person who used to be my family friend.
    The man has a big thrift store where my parents used to sometimes shop for us.
    He runs the shop along side his wife.
    When I stepped in, the wife who was the first person that saw me, obviously didn’t recognize me.
    She assumed that I was a customer, greeted me respectively and asked me what I wanted to buy with smile written all over her face after probably weighing my worth from my outfit.
    My parents calls him Mario.
    Immediately Mario turned and saw me, he seems so surprised and told his wife that I was the missing daughter of James.
    I was surprised that he even recognized me, he was the only one that have been able to identify who I was just by first glance.
    “You have a striking resemblance with your father, is your younger sister that looks so much like your Mom. I recognize people easily and can dictate a thief just by a mare look…”
    I smile and greeted him.
    “When did you return, your parents no longer live in this area or you came visiting someone..?
    “No sir, I thought they were still here..”
    “Which means you’ve not even seen them and you obviously don’t have their mobile number. But where have you been, the news was that you were kidnapped or probably ran away with a man..” Mario’s wife asked with displeasure in her eyes and tune 
    She continued immediately
    “… you girls of this day are always desperate to move in with a man. Your Mom mentioned that you dropped a small written note but she refused to tell us the whole details. My instinct tells me you were not kidnåpped rather you ran away because you felt too big to be under your parents..”
    “… Look at how big you’re just within few years, looking like you’ve reach twenty five or even thirty years when you’re just a small girl. Or were you into hookup, I mean did the kidnâppers gave you extra pampering while making money out of you. Your looks speaks opposite of suffering, far opposite of being kídnapped. The rumors is that you were kidnåpped but those who stays in the kidnâppers den appears pitiful, mentally and emotionally broken. But you look like you were enjoying yourself there, looking all fresh and becoming a classy big girl. Just look at how fresh your skin is, your expensive handbag and designers cloth. you’re looking real good that’s why I have my doubts…anything is possible in this case and..”
    “That’s enough..” Mario interrupted his wife 
    “.. you know she was kidnâpped and we should be happy and thank God that she’s free now. My friend, James is a disciplined man, him and his wife raised all their children well. You can’t be saying that kind of thing in front of her. No empathy or humane in your choice of words. You really don’t know what she has been through..”
    Mario turned to me and apologies on his wife behalf.
    I told him that I was trying to locate my parents, if he has any idea of where they moved to
    He said he has but is a long drive from his shop
    He said is only my Mom that changed her number recently but my Dad is still using his old mobile number and also the new one.
    He told me how to locate the place and also gave me my Dad’s  contact.
    Before I left, he asked me to wait a minute as he went around, packaged some thrift wears for both my Dad and Mom.
    He gave me another separate bag and said that was for me.
    His wife said she doesn’t think I wear thrift, he shouldn’t have given me because I’m going to dispose it or turn it into rag.
    Looking at the expensive designer cloth and bag I was putting on, she already knows my type of girl.
    “Let her do whatever she like with it, is hers to do as she pleases..” Mario replied her.
    I thanked him and his wife who also apologized for her precious statement but I know deep down she only wanted to please her husband
    She didn’t mean her apologies and I didn’t care.
    As I turned to leave, I saw Denis coming inside.
    He had been waiting outside in his car.
    He must have been wondering what was taking me so long and decided to come and check me.
    Mario’s wife thought he was a customer and greeted him kindly as she asked him what he will like to buy.
    I told her that we were together and started walking away with Denise after he greeted them
    Mario said I shouldn’t forget to extend his greetings to my Dad.
    Immediately he was done talking, I heard his wife say something like a whisper to him.
    “Maybe That’s the guy she ran away to meet or maybe he’s the one that she eløped with, this girl was not kidnåpped. I told you she’s looking too good for someone like that …” 
    “Stop talking nonsénse..” Mario said out loudly.
    I stepped out and straight into Denis car.
    I wondered what my parents will also be thinking with my sudden disappearance.
    I remember dropping a note that I was leaving because I can no longer endure the way that I was been treated.
    Even if my Mom went about worrying and telling everyone that cares that i was kidnåpped 
    I doubt it if my Dad even care
    They decided to move on to a different location because they knew I may probably return.
    I was seventeen when I left
    I felt strongly convinced that I no longer want to stay and be treated like a garbage in my house.
    Unfortunately I didn’t know my parents number off hand and it never bothers me until now.
    If not for Phil, I would have been looking worst than a sick patient.
    None of the people’s gossip really matters and does not affect me in anyway
    Atleast I know where to find my parents, that will be my next stop by tomorrow
    Let me return back to my hotel, relax think and speak with Phil
    By tomorrow, I will start my journey to my parents house.
    Whatever the outcome maybe, I think I’m ready to face it.

    .
    It rang but he didn’t pick up and I called again but no response.
    I decided to move on, no matter how hard it may be.
    After all the expenses that was used in renovating my apartment, I had little left in my account.
    It won’t be enough to start the small business I plan on doing. The best option will be to get a job.
    John was running another medical program, he had to move out of his sister’s house and comes around for a visit during weekend
    Cecil gave birth to a baby boy and there was a small party in the compound.
    I even went in search for a nice gift for both mother and child.
    I picked something affordable for two of them and she was very grateful.
    I stop by mostly at her place to check on how the baby was doing.
    John told me that going to his school program from his sister end was good but he really do not want to disturb them now that there’s a new baby.
    He decided to stay with his friend for the meantime until he gets his own place.
    He said he studied medicine and still has an extra program after the current one so that he can become a qualified doctor.
    I really don’t know how all the too much reading works for him but I still wish him best of luck.
    And we talks whenever he comes visiting which is mostly weekends.
    He gives me all the gist, I enjoy listening and cracking jokes with him for only the period that he’s around.
    He asked me about school, if I don’t want to further my education and I told him that i will but I need to get a good paying job first.
    He said I may not be able to get a very good paying job without a good certificate, but if I really wanted to further my education then I need to take it seriously.
    He mentioned about some distance learning and part time schools that I can go while still working.
    All I needed is weekend to go to my school programs while I use week days to do my normal work.
    It was a fantastic idea and I have never thought of that before.
    That was exactly what I’m going to do, my schooling will only be on weekends and it won’t get in the way of my job.
    I thanked John for the wonderful idea and resumed my serious job hunt
    I continued searching for job as each day comes and goes.
    Transportation and feeding with other necessity were digging deep into the remaining money I had left.
    In few weeks from now I will be broke and may start selling somethings I had in the house to survive
    I won’t let it come to that.
    I attended few interview and was asked to resume but the working condition did not fall inline with my plans.
    The two interviews that I attended open office on Saturday and one  said I must be present.
    They close earlier around 1pm while the other company does not work every weekend.
     Although their pay were too poor, I could I have still managed but I needed a Job that weekend will not be included at all.
    I kept searching untill I got a job at a big unisex boutique which was a close bustop to Phil’s company.
    They also have phone accessories next shop and I will be operating from both end.
    The pay was good and the job description isn’t that difficult.
    They asked if I can work on Saturday and I told them that I can’t that I’m planing on starting a weekend program and wouldn’t want to promise what I can’t do.
    The manager said no problem and that was how the job was given to me as a customer attendant
    My job is to be attending to customers, following them around as they pick whatever they wants, then I’m to help them carry their picked items to the cashier who will check and issue the bill to them.
    As easy as it sound it wasn’t really very easy to do but I can manage because I have my weekend off.
    Phil never showed up at my place again or called, I try calling him few occasions but he wouldn’t pick.
    I believe he has moved on and I just have to move on too but I still don’t know how to do that.
    I’m trying to forget him and focus but there is no day that passes by that I don’t think about Phil.
    He crosses my mind every day and I really don’t know what to do.
    I found out that is mostly rich men and women that comes to shop in this boutique and they sometimes leave a good tips.
    Aside my salary, I was also getting little money that sums up to a good amount
    The prices of the items are really high and a low salary earner can’t afford them.
    I collected my first salary and began to save for my part time weekend school 
    I also brought out some for my personal expenses.
    If I collect salary up-to three times, I will begin my school registration.
    Atleast by then I will have enough money to do that. 
    The cashier got a better job and decided to resign at the end of the upcoming month
    My manager said I will take over from her once she leaves and that means More money for me.
    I was already looking forward to the day the cashier will leave so that I can assume her post with a better pay.
    I was at work as usual one day but wasn’t impressed with the day sales record. we couldn’t record much sales and it wasn’t unusual because it happens sometimes.
     I only attended to two customers and was looking forward to another when a man that looked so much like Phil walked in with a lady
    My heart double skip before I took a deep breath to relax. It can’t possibly be Phil, so I thought.
    When I approached the young man and his woman so that I can assist in showing them around and also our new arrivals too, that was when I came face to face with the truth.
    Phil? Oh my God is Phil, he was with a beautiful lady.
    I almost disappeared into a hole but thank God that I wasn’t a rat.
    “April? He exclaimed surprised when he saw me
    I was far more surprised to see him than he was.
    I was speechless and unstable as he stared at me while the lady beside him appears confused.
    I need to do something before I embarrass myself in front of him and his lady but the truth is that i don’t even know what to do.

    .
    He came down and in no time we drove out.
    Surprisingly Louise was still outside the gate, he was standing beside the company’s flowered wall watching and waiting like a hawk.
    I try to make sure that he sees me and not just seeing me but seeing that I was with Phil.
    He can’t never get around how it all worked out because Phil and I are supposed to be enemies, Phil was meant to hate me and not come anywhere close to me after discovering the shocking secret about me and Louise.
    I know it will be hard for Louise to get out of shock after seeing us together again.
    I was tempted to stick out my tongue or even my middle finger at him but I turned down the urge.
    Phil was beside me and may not like that at all. I just wanted to put everything about Louise behind me.
    He stood watching with all his eyes pooping out of it’s sucket.
    The huge urge to stone him with one leg of my shoe or do something that will hurt his feeling greatly came with full force.
    I bent down and removed one leg of my shoe, I lifted it to my hand, holding it tight.
    I realized that the glass was up and looked over at Phil, he looked back at me
    “What are you doing? He asked as he saw me holding my shoe in my hand 
    “Oh..I, I want to spit out saliva but the glass is up, can you roll it down a bit?
    “You want to threw out saliva that’s in your mouth with your shoe in hand? You intend to throw that shoe at Louise right? That’s a foolish thinking and you’re not ready to stop lying over little things that doesn’t really count..”
    I ignored him and lowered my shoe back to my feet.
    We drove past and I looked back at Louise, he couldn’t stop staring.
    I’m so glad he didn’t get any money or even my presence. 
    I wanted to say all thanks to Phil but only if he stop being rude to me.
    He stopped at one of the fast food I love, parked and we got down.
    We walked in and sat to eat.
    He moved the menu towards me.
    I don’t really mind anything at all. I just wanted to get filled and get out.
    I checked through the menu and pointed at rice and chicken with vegetable salad.
    The waiter that was at our table took our orders and left.
    Phil and I didn’t say anything to each other, I was sitting opposite him and staring at people walking in and out, also people eating alone and those in twos or in more company.
    Phil was busy with his phone and didn’t say a word to me.
    I wanted to start a conversation but I didn’t really know what to say and didn’t want to push my lucks with him.
    Our food arrived and we started eating in silent
    I realized that I was more hungry than I thought.
    He ate a little and push back the plate which signaled that he was done.
    He still had lots of food and meat on his plate.
    He was sipping his drink while busy with his phone and waiting for me to be done.
    I ate all of mine and stared at his plate of half eaten food
    “Do you still want it or I should eat it..”
    I asked trying not to sound too desperate.
    “I’m through with it..” he replied and he watched as I carried his leftover and began to eat.
    He didn’t say anything as he went back to his phone.
    I belch aloud unknowingly. 
    He looked at me disgusted.
    “, I’m sorry, I didn’t even know it will make a loud noise..” I quickly replied.
    “Can we be on our way now or you still want more food?
    “I’m filled, we can go. Thanks alot for the food..”
    He nooded and asked if I wanted to take home some more food.
    “If it won’t be a problem, I don’t mind at all..” I replied wearing a smile.
    He asked the waiter to package some food which he quickly paid for.
    We left with my hands filled with food packs
    As he drove, he asked me which of the area I live.
    I mentioned it to him and he said he wasn’t very familiar with that side, he will stop on the way and I can continue my journey from there.
    But instead of stopping on the way like he said he drove on, I kept directing him on the right road to my house.
    We stopped at the gate of my house, he heaved a sigh before saying
    “I will transfer your money later tonight, when I get home. You don’t need to come to the office again tomorrow, Is not necessary. Hope you’re still using the same bank account details? 
    I replied affirmatively.
    I sat still not ready to get down, he looked over at me
    “What’s it…is there a problem? Why are you not getting down. isn’t this your house again?
    I felt embarrassed and speechless as I gently opened the car and get down with all the food he got for me.
    He reversed and speed off.
    I wondered what I was actually waiting for, maybe a little gist, laughter with a suiting kiss like we used to do before things went sour.
    I walked into the gate and straight to my apartment.
    I saw a young and good looking man walking around the compound.
    A new face I haven’t noticed before or maybe because I just moved in yesterday.
    I didn’t pay attention to him as I kept moving to my apartment. 
    He walked up to me and greeted.
    “, Hi, I’m John. My sister lives next to your apartment. I mean the pregnant lady, she’s my elder sister. I just came to pay them a visit this afternoon and will be around for maybe a week. Probably, we will get to know each other better..if that’s fine with you..”
    I nodded with a smile and continued my walk down.
    he suddenly said behind me. “I didn’t get your name..?
    I apologized before telling him my name.
    He said it was very nice to meet a pretty Lady like me with a unique name.
    He asked if I was a model and I replied that I wasn’t.
    I was too tired to start conversing with him, I needed to get inside my house and take a long shower and an uninterrupted rest.
    Although he was indeed a good looking young man but Phil was all that occupies my mind now not John but having a friend around isn’t a bad idea.
    I turned and walk away to my apartment.
     He stood staring at me from behind.

    Immediately I saw him he was staring straight at the passenger side of the cab.
    I was wearing a black sun shade which I thought of taking off and hiding under the chair.
    But on a second thought I just remained seated and watch as he struggles to see who was in the cab.
    Yes, I must have looked very familiar to him because I was putting on one of my blue t-shirt that he has seen on me before
    What maybe confusing for him will be the shade, the black eye glass does alot of good for me and it covers the black swollen line around my eyes which is a clear evidence that I need a good rest.
    If I can get enough sleep then it will all be gone in no time.
    I sat there and stare back at him through my glasses.
    He was actually looking at me as he tried to mark the face, is obvious I look familiar to him and he was trying to place the recognition.
    No more running or hiding from Louise, he was a big siege and I have already overcome it.
    As the cab drove past him, he stopped and kept staring.
    He must have recognized my top but I wasn’t bothered.
    Rather I did an unexpected thing, I wish I can spat on his face and kick his balls.
     That was exactly how I feel, I was boiling inside seeing the man that caused so much trouble to me.
    As the cab was a little far from him and he was about turning to continue on his way home, I pulled out my middle finger from the window, raised it high so that he can see it.
    I don’t want anything that will make him miss the finger.
    I really wanted him to see it, I wish there was a stone nearby inside the cab I could have used it to stone him but what if I miss him and the stone lands on another person.
    Pulling out my middle finger at him was the little salvage I can used to shed him.
    That was the time he probably knew that I must be the one.
    He began to run after the cab but we were really far this time and out of the street gate.
    He was calling another cab to stop but unfortunately it drove pass him without stopping.
    As he was trying to call another we entered the express road and speed off.
    all through the time I did not stop with the middle finger thing.
    I kept doing it until he couldn’t see me anymore.
    He was looking for a cab which he will use to pursue me.
    He wanted to know what was going on and where I was going with a cab.
    Yes, I dressed like I was traveling and that must have confused his cheap state of mind.
    I looked back along the road to know if he was actually following us but I didn’t see him.
    I looked back severally and didn’t see any sign of him or any cab or a motorbike following.
    The cab man speed off immediately we entered the express road.
    Louise is no more to be seen again.
    I don’t know if he later got a cab to follow us but he may never be able to catch-up.
    There are several cab with the same colour as mine on the road, he may not even know which exactly am in except if there is something he used to recognise my cab 
    I really wanted to shout out insults to him, I wish to curse him and also the day I met him but again he won’t be able to hear me and is a waste of my strength.
    I checked the time it was past mid day. If I should reach my place first I won’t be able to go to Phil’s office for the money because I really need the money right now.
    I don’t know how much it is but no matter the amount is still very important.
    I asked the cab man to take me to the office first, he agreed but on a second look, i needed to change into something more official.
    I know I’m not part of their staff anymore and no one will care about my dressing or question me over my appearance but I still want to look good, I want to atleast dress like an office person one more time.
    My next job may not be an office job, I may go back searching for job in supermarket, hotel or restaurants. I will search until I get a better offer that will enable me pay my rent whenever is due and fend for myself too.
    I asked the cab man to take me to my rented apartment instead so that I can dress in something appropriate.
    He drove me straight to my the apartment and I quickly began to take my things out of the car.
    The cabbie also assisted me carrying my things out and in no time we were done.
    He asked me to pay him that he can’t wait for me to finish everything that I was about to do. Maybe I should look for another cab that will drive me to the second place I intend to go.
    I paid him and the cabbie left immediately.
    I began to pack my things inside. My apartment was so empty and quiet. My voice echoes when I say something.
    I need to quickly get dressed so that I can get to the office before they close.
    Is really going to be very lonely in here but just a little time I will get used to it.
    Is better lonely than staying in the dëvil’s den. Louise apartment was the ëevil’s den and I’m finally over it.
    A knock on the door startled me. Who could be knocking on my door, Louise?
    Did he followed me to my apartment, God forbids it!
    Oh my God, he probably traced me down with either a hired motorbike.
    Louise is a dëvïl and ready to do anything to hunt me. 
    He thinks I’m his prey and will remain in his mercy  forever but he lied because I’m free from his claws and he can’t hold me down anymore.
    If Louise followed me here, it means I have to do something fast because I won’t feel safe in my house anymore.
    I quietly asked who was knocking but got no reply.
    That must be Louise because he’s a bully and will not reply untill I open the door.
    I was trying to control my heart beat as I walked down to open the door.

    JUNE BREAK

    June Break-Episode 33


    Immediately I saw him he was staring straight at the passenger side of the cab.
    I was wearing a black sun shade which I thought of taking off and hiding under the chair.
    But on a second thought I just remained seated and watch as he struggles to see who was in the cab.
    Yes, I must have looked very familiar to him because I was putting on one of my blue t-shirt that he has seen on me before
    What maybe confusing for him will be the shade, the black eye glass does alot of good for me and it covers the black swollen line around my eyes which is a clear evidence that I need a good rest.
    If I can get enough sleep then it will all be gone in no time.
    I sat there and stare back at him through my glasses.
