    THE TRINITY
    The Trinity-Episode 14






    Jason couldn’t believe himself. He didn’t realize how deeply he had come to like Sophie. How could it be that he would utter her name at such a crucial time

    This was all so complicated. Just when he and his wife were getting back together he thought to himself. How would he get his wife to believe that there was nothing between him and Sophie or any other woman for that matter? It would just seem to confirm her suspicions that he had been cheating on her. Waooo, this was all so complicate now!
    Helena jumped off immediately completely turned off from the passion. She wore her nighty and turned to him

    “Jason, answer me please? Who is Sophie? She asked him again.

    “Sorry dear, I am really sorry, it shouldn’t have come out like that. Trust me I am not cheating on you if that’s what you’re thinking” Jason tried explaining.

    To Jason’s surprise, Helena was acting rather calm over this issue. That was quite unusual of her. By now she would have been screaming, shouting and yelling at him. She would even have either thrown him out of the house or dramatically moved out of the house herself.

    There was something different about tonight. He couldn’t put his finger on it but Helena was behaving like a changed woman. She appeared quite concerned about the abrupt utterance. Jason felt she was really hurt and kept apologizing.

    “I am not accusing you of cheating Jason, I know I have been distant lately. This “Sophie” must have become very special to you for you to mention her name” Helena said
    Her statement softened Jason. He felt a need to come clean and honest over the whole Sophie matter.

    “Let me be honest with you, Sophie is a special person like you rightly said but there is nothing going on between the two of us. I met her not long ago at the height of when we were having our issues. She listened to me and encouraged me to make it up with you. She is the key reason I came back home. I didn’t know she could have entered that deep in my subconscious to the point that I would mention her name at such a time as that. I am really sorry. I know how this feels, but I’m truly sorry,” Jason pleaded.

    Helena took Jason by his hand. She then kissed his hand and looked into his eyes.

    “I understand. it’s entirely my fault. I pushed you away and I am really sorry about that too.” said Helena.

    “Come on, let’s get over this. Come to bed” She continued.

    Was this a miracle or what? What was happening? Jason found it difficult to take it all in, considering that they were virtually at each other’s throats just a few days back. He jumped back into bed and decided to ride out his luck. There truly must be a God out there who listens to prayers.

    Michael didn’t go to Sophie’s house that night. He wanted to keep his distance after his early morning confrontation and discussion with Joe. He valued his job much more than Sophie. Besides, he had Amah’s threats on his mind.

    He went straight to his apartment and locked the door behind him. He already had gone through two encounters of unlocked doors and didn’t want to have a third.

    Michael was battling it out in his mind whether Amah was going to be discreet about what happened at the hotel after all the money he had given to her. He knew he needed to do something to keep her mouth shut.

    Sophie was still awake waiting for Michael to show up so she could go to sleep. After waiting for long she picked up the phone and gave him a call.

    Sophie: “Michael where are you, it is getting late?

    Michael: “Sorry I didn’t tell you, I can’t make it tonight, there is something you need to know. I will tell you in the morning”

    Sophie: “It’s about Joe right?
    He mumbled something and quickly ended the call.

    A text message from an unknown number had come through while he was still on the phone with Sophie. As soon as he finished the call, opened and read the text message which went:

    “I KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO NICKY. I WON’T LET IT HAPPEN TO SOPHIE”

    Michael got so frightened and shaken up that he almost threw the phone on the floor.

    Early the next morning, Jason’s house was awesomely peaceful and tranquil. Helena had gotten Breakfast ready for the family and they all sat together at the dining table to eat their breakfast as a family.

    For a moment, everything was normal. Jason had smiles on his face throughout that morning as he spent time enjoying time with his family.

    Suddenly the bell rang.

    Jason looked at his time. Usually the only person to ring the bell at this time would be their driver who would usually appear to take his son Ismael to school. This was however a bit too early for the driver.

    Jason put Ishmael’s backpack on him, and together with Helena, walked their son to the gate to meet the driver.


    On getting to the gate, Jason was surprised to see a pleasant looking fine lady at his door. The driver was nowhere in sight. Helena’s breath however caught in her throat as she saw Amah standing at her gate looking as innocent as someone who wouldn’t hurt a fly.

    My Woman-Episode 2






    Do you two know each other already?” asked the lecturer
    Brenda was quiet; she didn’t know what answer to give.


    “Lady, I asked you a question” said the lecturer
    It was obvious that Dave had to come up with something “Yes sir, she was a good friend of mine…way back in High school” he responded.


    One lie lead to the other… The lecturer ignored them and continued with the class.


    It was amazing how Brenda and Dave clicked from that very first time. The chemistry between them was heavy. You could tell from the look on both their faces that they wanted the class to end so they could talk to each other.


    Brenda couldn’t hold herself, she took a sheet of paper and wrote “Thank you”. She then passed it to Dave who quickly replied.


    For close to 20 minutes, Brenda and Dave were just exchanging notes and messages, oblivious to their surroundings.


    They were getting along pretty well. The smiles on their faces was a sign that they were enjoying every bit of the conversation.


    On that first day, they hardly paid attention to anything the lecturer said, their attention was on each other.


    Unfortunately the class had to end and the lecturer dismissed them.
    Before Dave could ask for Brenda’s name in his final note, the Lecturer asked her to see him.
    She walked out of the class to see the lecturer who was already in his vehicle.


    He made her sit in the car and drove her out of sight.


    Brenda curiously asked the lecturer “Sir, where are we going? I have to go home”


    “Don’t worry, I’m just driving you away from these students, they talk too much and by the way, you can call me Mr. Edward, I’m not comfortable with you calling me sir” The lecturer answered.


    “Ok Sir, sorry Mr. Edward, may I know what I have done wrong? Brenda asked


    “Why do you think you have done something wrong? I called you here to make your acquaintance. As a lecturer, one of my roles is to look out for my students. I won’t waste your time, take my card and call me tonight”


    Brenda took the card and alighted from his car. She actually wanted to see Dave before going home so she rushed back to the lecture hall but he was gone.



    Dave had waited a long while and finally left when he was convinced Brenda had gone home.

    Jane’s side of the story continues




    I quickly rushed into Val’s room to confront him. Of course I couldn’t bear the information I just got nor pretend I never heard it. Perhaps I really cared about him more than I thought I did or maybe I was only fighting for my own interest.
    ‘’I heard Isadora was in this house today? So you knew where she was all along?’’ I asked Val with a raised tone as I barged into his room. He simply gave me an askance look and kept quiet, provoking me more with his silence.


    ‘’maybe you even planned everything with the sl.ut so that you can be having free moments with her while putting us in a big trauma’’ I shouted.


    ‘’you better stop getting yourself worked up because I owe you no explanation. You are not my wife. We are not yet married’’ he replied arrogantly as if I meant nothing to him. I felt like smashing his big head that moment. I was so filled with anger.


    ‘’and what did you do with her when she got here?’’ I asked breathlessly, but I knew better not to expect an answer from him. After standing for a minute, I walked out of his room and headed to his mother’s room to talk to her.


    ‘’what’s the shouts all about?’’ the old woman asked as soon as I walked in.


    ‘’mum you can’t believe Isadora was never missing. She and Val planned the whole thing. She was here when we all left for church. Martha told me and he isn’t denying it’’ I reported breathlessly
    ‘’oh good lord’’ the old woman gasped.


    ‘’you have to calm down my dear. I will talk to him. Don’t let anything ruin your wedding’’ she pleaded calmly.


    ‘’mum this is getting too much. Your son no longer loves me. He’s getting weirder every passing day. I can’t endure anymore. I don’t even want a big wedding anymore. I feel like losing this baby I’m carrying’’ I sobbed. She drew close and held me.


    ‘’just calm down my dear. A pregnant woman shouldn’t talk like that’’ she pleaded.


    ‘’mum I’m tired of everything. I can’t risk having a big wedding with the way Val has been behaving lately. He could end up embarrassing me. I prefer a court wedding with few people present. Mummy all I want now is a court wedding or nothing’’ I proposed with tears in my eyes. Of course nothing suited my plans perfectly well than a court wedding. I was making good use of the opportunity that presented itself.
    ‘’alright if that’s what you want, I will talk to my son and I believe he won’t object’’ she promised. I hugged her and left for my room to talk with my mother on phone. I had to inform her of the latest situation.


    _________________________




    ‘’I really can’t believe that girl is out to frustrate everyone. So now she’s attempting to steal your man huh?’’ my mum scoffed over the phone after I narrated everything to her.


    ‘’yes but I’m very much ready for her trust me’’ I breathed strongly. I still had Val under my control no matter what he might think and there really were a thousand and one things I could do to him if the need arises.




    ___________________________




    Val’s side of the story continues




    I definitely knew I was going to have a long day that Sunday. Jane’s attitude equally never came as a surprise to me and when my mum showed up minutes after Jane left I knew she was there to talk the same thing.


    ‘’my son I heard the girl we all have been looking all over town for was here to see you. So you knew all along where she was?’’ my mum asked curiously.


    ‘’mum it’s a long story but believe me, I didn’t know that she was in town till today. I don’t want to talk about this for now mum. Please I want to be alone’’ I begged.
    ‘’fine but your fiancée is not happy. You are obligated to her which you know. You have to be very open with her in everything. And now she’s no longer interested on wedding you in church. She believes you no longer love her and is only going ahead with the marriage because of the child you are having together’’ she added while I looked at her curiously.


    ‘’really mum?’’ I asked while she kept quiet for some seconds.


    ‘’she wants a court marriage’’ she finally breathed as we stared into each other’s eyes.
    _________________________




    Isadora’s side of the story continues




    I returned to the house to discover that my adoptive parents, the hunter and another well dressed old man were all waiting for me. My heart jumped seeing all of them waiting for me.


    ‘’I gave you instructions not to go into town why did you disobey my instruction?’’ the hunter asked angrily.


    ‘’I’m sorry but I had to go get my pendant. It’s very valuable to me’’ I apologized.


    ‘’and where is it?’’ he asked
    ‘’I couldn’t find it. Someone took it’’ I replied.


    ‘’you mean you got into that house undetected’’ he asked.
    ‘’not really, It’s a long story’’ I breathed while they all exchanged glances.


    ‘’anyway I brought your late parent’s lawyer to see you. His name is Mr. Maduko and he’s more than delighted to represent you after I told him your story’’ he added while I threw a happy look at the lawyer who slowly stood up.
    ‘’yes my dear I will be more than pleased to represent you. Your parents were very good people. But you know this isn’t going to be easy. First we will have to meet your father’s brother and equally go for a DNA test to prove you are really who you are said to be. Then afterwards we can begin the process of getting back your inheritance and finally bringing up the case file of your parent’s death. It’s going to be a long process and I pray we all make it out alive in the end. The attempt on your life might not be unconnected with everything and so it means they are already aware of your threat. You have to be very careful with whatever you do from this moment or else you late parents won’t get justice’’ he addressed me softly while I gave out a deep breath.



    Surely a big fight was ahead. And for the moment I only knew just two of my enemies. I didn’t really know the rest, especially my father’s brother.

    Richard found himself humming to the music he played from his speaker. It had been 3weeks they had resumed to this new semester. 
    He was putting finishing touch to his painting,though it was already good enough to be call perfect but he wasn’t satisfied. And the song from the speaker was turned to his favourite even though he wasn’t conversant with the lyrics.


    where I belong by pete andre
    lyrics
    I only know am in love when I mean it
    wishing you were here today
    don’t run away forever
    don’t wanna feel this way
    when we meet my life gonna change in a minute
    nothing gonna be thesame
    I know am gonna find u
    seem to me like
    Am not asking much
    this is how I feel
    …………..




    His moment was interupted by his dad who barged in
    Dad,when did you arrive?how do you know I live here?


    Now listen to me young man,am not here to exchange pleasantries. Your V.C made me make this impromptu visit,you should know I have you watched even though I am not in the country.

    don’t you daree me Tare,you’v got to work hard because you are my only heir.Stop fooling yourself in painting rubish you don’t belong to that world.


    But dad,this is what I have passion for.


    Richard was fast enough to prevent the blow,he knew his dad hated painting just as he loved it with passion. He left but after much threatening.


    Richard sat down with his hands in his palms,he should have known his dad would have him watched,the old man was a disciplinarian.


    The whole painting issue was causing a rift between them.But that didn’t stop him from calling him Tare’ meaning he was still in safe hands. He had refused bearing the name since it means
    ‘love’ .He felt such name should be given to females, but his dad had preferred that to Richard. It seemed there’s something behind the name ‘Tare’.



    I don’t know when the next episode might come up,my phone is misbehaving big time.

    He held her by the waist like the passion was just building up, but he was already exhausted. They collapsed on the bed together.


    ‘Ah, my Tope is back in action,’ she exclaimed to herself.


    ‘My Sade is riding on again,’ he reciprocated, quite breathless.
    ‘I won’t let you slip off,’ she said. ‘No woman has more
    right to you than I do.’


    He thought it was a joke, so he only smiled. She was with him throughout the night, and they had an all-night sexual
    binge. The following
    morning just before she departed, he gave her a bundle of one thousand naira notes.


    She was wide-eyed in surprise. Just the previous day, he had given her more than enough. Now, this again. But that
    exactly was what she
    wanted.


    ‘Thank you, honey,’ she gushed, giving him a long kiss.


    ‘One thing is this,’ he said, looking serious. ‘I hope you’re
    on pills. I don’t want to hear anything about pregnancy.’


    She grinned at his comment.


    Later about noon, he took the mid-day flight and was back in Abuja.


    Tope’s new job gave him more exposure and experience.


    Within six months on the job, he had traveled with the Minister to Geneva, New York
    and Tokyo. He had also been to Guinea and Sierra Leone for regional meetings. He was now close to power and power brokers.
    The job also gave him a lot of exposure to political intrigues. He attributed this experience to his godmother, Iye. He had
    seriously tried to compensate her,
    but she remained impassive.


    ‘Let me open hospital for you,’ he had told her. ‘With your experience as a professional nurse, I’m sure that should not
    be a problem.’


    She shook her head. ‘Don’t worry, when the time comes, I will make a demand on what I want you to do for me.’

    She shook her head. ‘Don’t worry, when the time comes, I will make a demand on what I want you to do for me.’


    He went on to work for the Minister as SSA for two years.
    He continued to work as diligent as ever.


    The daughter that
    Rita bore for him, Oyin Ruth, was over a year and half old, and they looked forward to having another child.


    Rita wanted to go back to school, but he had discouraged her.


    Instead, he opened a big clothing store for her in the capital city.


    One thing his wife admired him for was the fact
    that he made sure she and her daughter lived in complete luxury.
    Some months ago, Zaynab announced that she would be getting married. A senator had decided to make her his third wife and Zaynab said she would take the offer! That
    was the end of his affair with her. Sade too came with the announcement that an American based Nigerian was ready
    to take her to the altar. It seemed these occurrences had left him with his wife.


    But that was not to be. He realized his libido had gone higher and he always had the urge to use call girls.


    Undergraduates, corporate ladies and other women of easy virtues became his regulars. He would take them to hotels
    or guest houses. Under the guise of coming to Lagos for business, he would camp one lady or the other in his Lagos
    house. He saw all this as big pleasure and source of enjoyment.
    In Lagos, one of his regulars was Linda, a pretty twenty- three year old lady who also had passion for weird sex.


    Linda was very good in the act and she never seemed to get tired.
    Just the way she had been satisfying him, he too had tried to satisfy her materially. He spoilt her with money and other gifts.
    This weekend, he would be in Lagos ‘for business’. He was in his duplex by eight p.m. and Linda was already waiting
    for him. He had instructed the security man to give her access to the house. She was lounging in the sitting-room
    when he came in.


    ‘Hello, sweetheart,’ she said, coming to give him a short welcome kiss.


    ‘Hello, my dear.’


    She took his small travelling bag from and they went to the bedroom upstairs. He unlocked the door and they were
    inside.


    ‘How was Abuja and how was your flight?’ she asked.


    ‘Fine. How’s Lagos?’


    ‘We dey o.’


    He removed his clothes. ‘I can hardly wait to lay my hands
    on you,’ he said.


    She giggled. ‘Well, for your information, I can hardly wait for you to lay your hands on me.’


    He stripped to his boxer.


    ‘You’re still in your clothes. What are you waiting for?’


    ‘Don’t worry now. I dey for you.’ She pointed at the bed. ‘I
    want you to lie on it and watch me as I UnCloth for you.’


    He grinned. ‘Yeah, that will be interesting.’


    He lay on his back while she removed her top, her mini skirt, the bra and, lastly the pantie.
    ‘I fell like giving you a Mouth Action,’ she said.


    He nodded. ‘That will be fine.’


    She held his rooster and put it in her mouth while he groaned pleasantly and closed his eyes. She teased, licked and s—-d the organ and he felt
    wave of excitement all over him.
    But she knew how she
    would do it so that he would not come. They were still at it
    when his phone rang. He
    ignored it. How would it be that when he was in serious pleasure was when someone chose to call him? He closed
    his eyes and savored the
    excitement Linda was giving him.



    The door to the bedroom was suddenly opened and someone barged in.

    CASSANDRA
    Cassandra-Episode 14




    Minutes after the phone call, Chinedu showed up at my apartment to check up on me. He really was worried by the cold manner I answered his call the previous day and quite knew that something wasn’t alright.


    ‘’I knew it. I knew something was wrong yesterday. Your voice was so strange and different. i sensed it’’ he said seriously after I told him all that happened the previous day plus Cassandra’s phone call minutes ago.


    ‘’so what do you think bro?’’ I asked while he shrugged.


    ‘’it’s very obvious Cassandra spend Valentine’s day with her school boyfriend or someone she met before you. It’s very common among students but by her calling you early today, it shows she still wants to keep you by her side. Everything is in your hands. It’s left for you to continue or not but as for me you know I do prefer Nora over the pretty girl’’ he said seriously. I rubbed my face with my palms with worry, very uncertain of which part to follow. The love i had for Cassandra was so real and pure. it wasn’t something that could be waved away so effortlessly.


    Marrying the pretty girl was an accomplishment I so badly wanted to achieve but with the situation of things, I just wasn’t sure of myself anymore. Moreover cutting my relationship with her at that early stage also meant abandoning the money I already had invested on her.


    My phone rang that moment and it was Cassandra calling again. I stared at my phone for some seconds before answering.
    ‘’hi dear, are we still going to see my family today?’’ she asked,
    ‘’yes we are’’ I answered, leaving her silent for some seconds as she probably pondered over my answer and how to reply me.


    ‘’it’s just as if you are rushing things for no reason, but it’s alright I’m already on my way to your house’’ she muttered and hung up.


    Chinedu took his leave soon after, but he equally dropped another advice, begging me to be careful and think things through.


    _______________________




    By 10am that fateful morning, 
    Cassandra arrived at my apartment looking very sharp and beautiful in a green gown. Seeing her looking so hot and mature removed all the doubts and bad feelings i was having before she arrived. I swallowed hard as i admired her beauty while she graciously threw herself on me, apologizing once again for disappointing me the previous day. I smiled with great joy.
    Minutes later, we left my apartment and headed to Porthacourt, stopping on the way to buy some things for her family.


    It really was an uneventful drive from Owerri to Portharcourt. We said nothing much to each other, instead concentrated on our thoughts. In no time we arrived at her family house, which surprisingly was located in a plush neighbourhood.


    No one was at the house when we arrived but after waiting for some minutes Cassandra’s mother showed up, looking very surprised.


    ‘’my dear you never told us you were coming home, nor coming with a friend.’’ Her mother queried, hugging her daughter and expertly seizing me up.
    ‘’yes mum, it was a sudden decision. Actually I planned coming yesterday’’ she replied softly before introducing me to her mother.




    ___________________________




    I spend close to three hours in Cassandra’s house. Her mother was very friendly and kind. She welcomed me as if I was part of the family and equally served me a wonderful meal of pounded yam and vegetable soup. Cassandra’s father who showed up later in the day was more reserved and a bit cold. He asked very prying and unnecessary questions which I answered easily. However I made no mention that I was interested in marrying their daughter because it was my first visit and traditionally not acceptable to do so in the first visit.


    By 4:30pm, I got up to leave, very satisfied and happy. Cassandra told that she was staying to spend some days with her family , something I never expected but quickly accepted.


    ‘’so you see, I have nothing to hide. My ways are plan and simple. You have seen my family, haven’t you?’’’ she asked with her usual killing smile as she escorted me to my car. I smiled back with great happiness.


    ”i’m a very plain girl. you should learn to trust me” she added very innocently, leaving me with no cause to worry about anything. I stared deep into her eyes and held her hands.


    ‘’I will take you to my family during the coming Easter celebration. I can’t wait to introduce you to my whole family’’ I muttered, stunning her with my words. She froze and stared at me with disbelief while I nodded like a happy lizard.


    ‘’you are going to be mine sooner than you expect dear’’ I said in my mind, very sure of myself.


    Marrying the beautiful damsel was the only thing in my mind that moment. I hoped for the best. I prayed for a wonderful life with her..



    Oh Cassandra.

    He smiled and nodded. Annabel cried when he was leaving,


    but he had to go. He went to his old house to take some
    money. According to Iye, even if he had no need to spend
    money, he must continually spend from the money. He left
    the house and went back to the hotel he was lodging at
    Ikeja. His phone rang. It was from Sade.


    ‘Hello, Tope dear,’ she said. ‘I was wondering if I could come
    and say hello to you in your hotel’


    He grinned to himself. ‘Well, that will be alright.’


    ‘What if I come by seven this evening?’ she asked.


    He sighed and nodded. ‘That will be cool.’


    Few minutes after seven p.m., Sade knocked at the door of
    his hotel room. A minute ago, the receptionist had called to
    inform that a Miss Sade
    was wishing to see him and he had asked that the lady be
    directed to his room. Now, she was here.


    ‘Good evening,’ she greeted.
    ‘Good evening.’


    He had already set a bottle of wine and two glasses on the
    center table. She was happy that he had made it look like a
    grand welcome.


    ‘How’s Annabel?’ he asked.
    ‘She’s fine. I’ve taken her to my aunt.’


    He poured wine to fill the glasses. Then he handed her one.


    His eyes went to study her. Sade was dressed in a fitting
    ‘ankara’ skirt and blouse.


    Her hair was well-made and packed. He had no doubt that
    she was out to make an impression on him.


    ‘You must be enjoying Abuja well,’ she pointed out. See as
    you dey shine.’


    ‘Really?’


    ‘Yeah.’
    He shrugged. ‘Thanks. The truth is you’re looking gorgeous
    too.’


    She smiled at him. ‘Thanks.’


    They sipped their drinks in silence.


    ‘Maybe we should be together again,’ she suggested.
    He grinned. ‘My dear Sade, you know that will not be
    possible.’


    She looked at him as if puzzled. ‘Why? Why is it not possible again?’


    ‘For God’s sake, I’m married to another lady.’
    ‘That shouldn’t stop us.’


    He looked at her sharply. ‘What are you saying?’


    She smiled. ‘What I’m saying is it’s not late for us to be lovers again.’
    He shook his head but said nothing.


    ‘I loved you before she did,’ she added.


    He grinned again.


    ‘And I know inside me that you still want me.’


    He raised his brow. ‘How could you tell?’


    ‘It’s obvious, isn’t it?’


    ‘I don’t think so.’


    ‘You don’t want a lady and you invited her to your hotel
    room? Come on.’


    ‘Maybe, it’s just to chat.’


    He sighed and added. ‘Getting intimate with you will lead
    us nowhere.’


    ‘Maybe it will.’


    ‘It won’t. I’m married, Sade.’


    ‘I know. I’m not stopping your marriage.’


    He had thought Sade was the perfect lady for him years
    ago. It was love at first sight and he had tried within his
    limited means to satisfy her,


    but financially, she was insatiable.
    ‘I’ve learnt my mistake and I’m ready to make amends,’ she

    was saying.

    NOTHING  LIKE LOVE
    Nothing like love-Episode 8






    Excitement was written all over Tare’s face as she boarded the vehicle to lafia,the seamester had finally ended.Travelling home this time around was fun for her unlike when she was going to jos.she had boarded the cheapest vehicle which was probably the worst of it kind,it stopped at every interval.she wasn’t a bit comfortable and prayed endlessly the journey came to an end. Alas!it did. But things had changed,she was seated in a luxurious bus.All thanks to the jo’s who did everything for her without complaining.She brought her phone from her purple gucci handbag and dailed Aunt Angela number.




    Angela stood in the guest room which used to be Tare’s room before she moved out to her own apartment,she couldn’t help but miss Tare.Now she was no longer leaving with them her loneliness had started again,her husband was always travelling out for one deal or the other.She had the whole house to herself,she wished for the umpteenth time she had children,the house would have been noisy. just then she heard her phone ring from the dining where she had forgotten it after breakfast. It was already a misscall at the time she got there
    just the person she had been thinking of. “Tare”




    Hello dear she said all smiles
    Good morning aunt,am on my way home now.




    oh dear am sorry have forgotten you would be leaving today,please don’t fail to send my greetings to everyone at home.




    I will aunt,thanks for the gifts you got for everyone.




    Don’t mention dear,safe journey
    Thanks aunt.




    The line went dead as she smiled,she was definitely going to miss them but she been away from her family for too long. Not too long she slept off.




    ________________________






    Later at night she had dinner with her family,it wasn’t bad as it used to since she Had given her mother some money to make a good soup not the watery soup they always had.They were all excited as she gave them the presents Angela had gotten for each of them.Her parent hadn’t failed to ask how she came about the money, she told them everything that happened without leaving a bit of what happened. Tare sq££zed herself in the corner of their one room apartment as she slept off. “there’s nothing like family,poor or rich”.
