EPISODE 17
What was I doing at Eve’s wedding in the first place, what that b---h Matilda was doing there does not surprise me at all. I could not believe these trios betrayed our friendship, and still stick together like glue.
I was deep in thought when mum entered asking about the wedding and the fact that since I decided to keep the baby, I must as well start attending antenatal.
Mum is that necessary, you know I have to resume work and I might not have the time to go in and out of the hospital. Listen to yourself woman; you think this was how I brought you into this world.
You had better get yourself out to the St Joseph hospital tomorrow; I booked an appointment for Sundays. Because I know, you will fight with me over the working days, okay mum I will, so tell me who the father is and do not lie.
Mum, not you too, she smacked my back lightly and walked out. She knows am not going to tell until am ready, Mom I called! Can we talk about the other day? You said some things I want you to clarify.
Kate, I would be very glad if we do not discuss this.
Mom why? You keep shutting me out. Kate am not, whatever I said the other day has nothing to do with you. So I don’t see the reason I should be discussing with you. But I thought we have no secrets mom. Why do you all keep breaking my heart one after the other?
Come here my dear, she pulled me into her arms for a while. Look, I love you and whatever I have to do to stop those pictures from getting out there I will. I just nodded because I know she was trying to take my mind of the questions.
I called my triangle of friends and we spoke for a long time. Drake even volunteered to take me to the hospital but I declined.
I walked into the hospital as early as 9am, waited for a while and then I heard the nurse mention my name, I followed her inside, and our eyes met.
Nurse, let me have the folder, he was acting professionally. He looked at the folder, glanced through and asked me to have a seat.
I hesitated for a while but the nurse was standing there so I did not want to cause trouble. I pulled the chair and sat down. Miss Santa, right have far are you.
I took another glance at him, and nodded my head, not to anything in particular. He then flashed his hand to the nurse, and I saw her leaving.
How do you feel Miss Santa, how far are you? Look drop the act, that folder should tell you all you needed to know.
To be continued

Evil 1

Evil 1 ……………………………….. Ruth walked along the pedestrian way with bags hanging from her hands. She dragged her tired feet with her mind focused on reaching her destination; her home. She’d gone out as usual to sample some textile materials to people and hoped they would buy. That was her business and the family depended majorly on the income from it. Her husband, Tunde, had become almost dependent since after losing his job in a bottling company some years back. Since then, he had refused fo seek for a permanent employment and only engaged in ‘adhoc’ employments which came once in a while. Sadly, she made no sales that day after trekking around the town under the scorching sun. As she walked carrying her bags of textile materials and hoping to get home before her tired legs would give way, a mad man walked briskly past her. It was not a thing to worry about as mad people were common sights around the town. But after taking a few steps forward, the mad man ran back and tapped her on the s...

COMING TO LAGOS      CONTINUATION. . . Coming To Lagos. . . Ep 12 Anita. I haven’t called her yet since the dream I had. I decided to try her number. “Hello! Hello!!” I said into the receiver as I couldn’t hear anything from the other end but she had picked the call. I had to put my phone on speaker to support the normal speaker and that was when I heard it. “What’s wrong, Anita? Are you crying?” “He wants to kell me.” “Who? Who wants to kell you?” I asked sitting up on my bed. “My boyfriend. . . He. . He wants to kill me.” “Where are you?” “I’m inside and I have locked the door. I heard him stepping out and once he returns, he’ll kill me.” “No matter what us happening, you can’t sleep there tonight. Have you called anyone whom you can stay with?” “I just called two of my friends but the said they’re not around. I’m dead.” She begins to weep again. I couldn’t help but wonder what must have happened but he’s just her boyfriend, why would he hit her? After few minutes of si...

My mother married my husband 6

My mother married my husband Episode 6 I didn't have anywhere to sleep, I couldn't go back to the village. People will begin to ask questions, I sold all the jewelry Femi bought for me since we got married. I used the money to rent a small apartment, got a bed, and other little things I needed.  The compound wasn't much but I had to manage knowing it's my starting point in life. I never got rid of my son's clothes, I made sure they where still safe in his boxes. Sometimes I sleep on them, imaging he was there with me.  I got back to the hospital for my son's body, I wept so much when I saw jimmy cold and stiff in a white dress. I took to the general cemetery and buried him, my tears that day knew no bounds.  I felt like dying with Jimmy, I felt like all hope was lost. I sat close to his grave singing his favourite gospel song, telling him how much I miss him and love him.  "Jimmy I promise you on this day January 3rd 2015, I will never forget you, I will ne...
