Welcome to 2020 But seek first his kingdom & his righteousness, & all these things will be given to you as well. -Matt 6:33

Episode 40 Dedicated to all my avid readers on this platform …. If Eka had thought that her romance with Dr. Gerry would slow a bit after she moved into her parents’ house, she was wrong. While she waited for her engagement party in a fortnight, Dr. Gerry made the habit of gracing Mr. Effiong’s house almost everyday after work. Before he would leave for his house to retire for the night and to get ready for work the next day, he would join Eka in about everything she did. He was with her, helping measure clothes, deliver sewn materials and even deciding what meal to cook for her parents. Their love simply took on a magical dimension. In-between Dr. Gerry’s visits he found time to make plans with his family about his engagement party. On the other hand, Simbi was airborne and left practically jazzed as love bore her far away into the hands of Mr. Romantic, Samuel (aka Sammy). Though Eka had promised she would be her chaperone, but the demand of her bludgeoning bu...

*I FELL IN LOVE* Episode 26 “Sewa! Wow you are the least person I expected to meet in this city” he gave her a side hug. “Hi, Ex boyfriend.

UNBREAKABLE LOVE * * CHAPTER 16 Hours turned into days, days into weeks and eventually into months. Two months and Adela had not woken up in a comma. Stevie had dropped some weight. He hardly ate and spent most of his time at the hospital with Adela. Seeing her laying on the bed unable to move her body really broke his heart. He blamed Miley and her mother for all that had happened. His mother tried to apogise to him but he was NEVER interested. Gloria had gone back home late that afternoon when Stevie sat on the chair holding Adela’s hand. STEVIE “Do you remember the walls that stood between us like unbroken shells enveloped in substance while deep down from our realms like that of an unborn emotion. When we lay gently breathing a new birth in a mother’womb. We exchange smiles which always stir up questions awakening a sense of insecurity within us. Sharp pains that are oozing from our palms with shy handshakes. Our hearts willing to live and yet our emotions s...

Ema and Christy were not content with how much Ekaette’s father condemned his ignoble past conduct. They sounded stern warning to him and his wife concerning how they treat Eka, “How you people treated Eka in the past is shocking. On many occasions we wondered if you people are actually her parents. We hope such things will not be repeated again. I would not like to speak for my brother, but as you can see the way things are, the only thing keeping my brother from making Ekaette his wife is her age. We want to do what is right. We are not like politicians who steal underage girls by night and make them their wives by morning. We will not hear again of you and your wife taking money from strangers to promise them Eka in marriage. I can’t wrap my head around what we will do if this was to happen again,” Christy warned. Eka’s father brushed his fingers on the floor and touching them on his tongue; he swore to them, “I will have to die first for any man o...

UNBREAKABLE LOVE * * CHAPTER 15 *War can’t kill love, love can kill war* Adela kept pacing up and down in the house. The last thing she wanted was to get on the wrong side with Angela because, she could make things difficult for her. “Where is your mother?” she asked Stevie who just closed the door after making sure that her mother had left the compound. “They are gone. You don’t need to worry. I am sorry for the way she treated you. I don’t know what she was doing here with Miley. I made it clear to her that I don’t want to see Miley ever again,” he rose his voice. “I think you should be the one calming down. I fully understand that your mother does not like me and she never will. I don’t want you to fight or disrespect her all because of me,” she spoke sounding worried. “Can you take me home please?” “I thought you were spending the night with me. Are you mad at me?” “No! I just w...

Episode 25 “ What are you doing here?”She asked “You two knew each other” the man asked. “Yes, he’s my best friend’s husband” “Your Wemmy” “Yes my Wemmy” “Hi Thessy, I’m surprised to see you as well” “Wemmy told me you are in PH, I intended calling you before now but I never expect to meet you here” “Good morning sir, you should be the owner of this property, Hon. Kingsley Brown” “Yes I am” He replied and gave him a handshake. “I’m Feranmi Adesanya, I’m the supervisor. Let me show you around sir” “OK, after you” “I did not know that you are now into building construction” “It’s a long story Thessy” He showed them around to see how far work has gone. “You are doing a gre...

After unloading Eka’s personal effects from the van and moving them into the house, they all sat down in Mr. Effiong’s living room and began to chat happily. Eka and Simbi let themselves out of the house to go buy some drinks to entertain both Dr. Gerry and Simbi’s parents. While they selected the drinks they wanted, Eka decided to add some fried meat to the collection they were to pay for. She had not anticipated that her return would somehow turn into the happy celebration she left behind at home to go buy drinks. She felt lighter both in her head and heart, a burden had been unloaded from heart and she knew what it was – she had forgiven her parents. She had thought she would hold unto grudges against them all her life. There was a time she was addicted to the grudges and bitterness against her parents and for some unexplainable reasons loved hating them. Strangely she thought those feelings of hatred toward her parents felt good. Oddly it made her feel good i...

*I FELL IN LOVE* Episode 24 A month later, Feranmi traveled down to Lagos to see his wife. He took the night bus on Friday night, he got to Lagos park before 6am and took a cab straight home. Wemmy was so happy, they are happy to see each other, one month was like six months apart. “Look at you, you look so beautiful, I can’t remember the last time I saw a beautiful pregnant woman” he said sizing her up. “Really, I’ll take that as a compliment” “See the way your skin is shinning, I doubt if someone is missing me at all” “Of course I miss you, let’s just say it’s God’s grace that is making me shine” She prepared his favorite food, they ate breakfast together. “I think I need my wife now” he said pulling her closer to him on his side of the bed” “I’m all yours” “I miss you my baby, your touch, your kiss, every…thing” he said touching her soft spots...

UNBREAKABLE LOVE * * CHAPTER 14 *There is always that one person in your life that you will forver have a soft spot for* The air was very clear and the long morning shadows distinct. “Wakie! Wakie!” He opened the curtains opening way for the sun’s rays to come flooding into the room. “Good morning, my lady!” She was greeted with a cup of coffee and two slices of bread with fried eggs. It was the most perfect morning she ever had. “Breakfast in bed,” she said smilingly. “Yes, my lady. I want to spoil you today.” “But what did I do to deserve all of this?” “You loved me and gave me your heart. I realised I was thinking of you, and I began to wonder how long you had been on my mind. Then it occurred to me since I met you, you have never left,” he smiled. “Like my grandfather always said it, ‘Never be ashamed of how much you love, or how quickly you fall, love fully, love completely, but mo...

Episode 37 It was hard for Dr. Gerry to watch Eka pack her stuffs to leave his apartment. He had never thought a day would come when she would leave to go live elsewhere before their marriage. The three days Eka and Simbi had spent with him were memorable for him. Those three days actually made things harder for him. Even though Simbi did her best to curtail the frequency with which Eka and Dr. Gerry exchanged kisses, Eka found moments when Simbi was not watching to have a few kisses with him. Left for Eka she would have chosen to stay back in Dr. Gerry’s house, but because the need to do what was right outweighed how she felt she stuck to her understanding with Dr. Gerry and packed to leave for her parent’s home. Dr. Gerry had to hire a van which could carry her personal effects along with her sewing machine. Before the morning Ekaette was to leave, Dr. Gerry had called to inform Christy and Ema of the decision he took with Eka to let her go spend some time with her parent...

UNBREAKABLE LOVE * * CHAPTER 13 *The best love is the kind that awakes the soul, that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace for our minds* They walked inside the house hand in hand. He locked the door as she walked to the loudge. She sat on the sofa and the clock stroke eight-thirty. He removed his shoes and went to sit beside her. He took her hand and looked directly into her eyes. “What is it my lady? Talk to me. I hate seeing you like this. I apologise if I have offended you in anyway.” “You didn’t do anything,” she murmured. “Then tell me what’s bothering you. You hardly talked in the car. You were giving me one word answer. This isn’t you. What have you done to my Adela? I need her back please. I miss her smile, laugh, just everything about her,” He smiled. She had a lot of things to worry about but couldn’t tell him. “It’s nothing. I am just tired that is all. I...

Episode 36 From Dr. Gerry’s living room, a loud sound blared. A visitor would have thought a little gig was going down in there. Eka and Simbi were in the living room dancing to songs playing from the television set on the wall. About thirty minutes earlier they had finished with cooking and cleaning the house. Eka had expected Dr. Gerry to rush back home like he said he would, but perhaps he had taken heed to Eka’s threat of beating him up if he returned home before she was done cooking, and so held up his return. With nothing much to do, the girls took to dancing, trying out the dance steps which they learnt long time ago. Their friendly rivalry was at its peak, Eka was trying her best not to be out done by Simbi who seemed to be a better dancer. They were so serious with the dance that one would have thought a judge was somewhere apportioning marks to them. Then the door to the flat jangled, Dr. Gerry walked in wondering if his apartment had been turned into a ball room....

UNBREAKABLE LOVE * * CHAPTER 12 *Love is a promise and souvenir. Once given never forgotten and let it disappear* It’s early in the morning and Adela was busy washing her dishes when her phone rang. She put on smile on her face before answering the call. “Hello, handsome,” she responded with her melodious voice. “My queen. How are you this morning? I am sorry I left early but I assume you had your breakfat that I prepared for you.” “I did, such a pity you were not around to eat with me. I miss you so badly.” “I miss you to my princess. Are my parents around?” “Only your mum. I better get back to work before she finds me talking on the phone. I will be in big trouble.” “Okay. I love you,” he said. “I love you too. Bye!” she hanged up and put her phone in her pocket. She finished washing the dishes. She was about to sit on the chair in the kitchen when she walked in. “You haven...
