My Adaobi Episode 9 []Moving on was hard, i couldn't imagine it but i had to and i wasn't easy. For days on, i kept calling her number which was always off. The days that followed were the saddest in my life, nothing interests me anymore, my siblings would come to the hospital everyday they were free, they would fuss all over me and that lit me up each time. Little princess was my most priced asset at that point in time, the innocence in her face, her eyes and the funny way she asked her questions kept me cheered up.  Janet had snuggled herself back into my life, i was too sad to notice. She was sweet throughout the period i was bedridden. She had been sorry for what she did and had asked me to put myself in her shoes, what would i have done to get Ada back, i would have swam a thousand oceans, walked a million miles and climbed a hundred mountains for her but apparently, i couldn't even go to my village to see her because one of my legs was useless for the time being. Howe...

My Adaobi Episode 8 It was all happening again..  I came outside the house and it was raining, through the mist i could see Ada, she stood far away in a white gown and looked exceptionally splendid, i went into the rain and walked slowly towards her, i heard the sound of someone sobbing, i looked around and i saw no one, i listened again and this time it came from Ada's direction, i wiped the rain from my face and looked at her once more, i saw the tears in her eyes, the atmosphere became clearer and i could see blood dripping from her hands and a little smear of it on her chest. Confused, i advanced towards her but the closer I got, the farther she was. I increased my pace but she only moved farther until the mist covered her up again and she disappeared. I fell on my knees, closed my eyes and cried, my heart ached so much i felt it would bust. Then i felt someone touch me, i opened my eyes and my mother was massaging my head. I was having that dream all over again.  Finding ...

My Adaobi Episode7 []It was fun while it lasted but i ended up regretting it the moment it ended.  I came outside the house and it was raining, through the mist i could see Ada, she stood far away in a white gown and looked exceptionally splendid, i went into the rain and walked slowly towards her, i heard the sound of someone sobbing, i looked around and i saw no one, i listened again and this time it came from Ada's direction, i wiped the rain from my face and looked at her once more, i saw the tears in her eyes, the atmosphere became clearer and i could see blood dripping from her hands and a little smear of it on her chest. Confused, i advanced towards her but the closer I got, the farther she was. I increased my pace but she only moved farther until the mist covered her up again and she disappeared. I fell on my knees, closed my eyes and cried, my heart ached so much i felt it would bust. Then i felt someone touch me, i opened my eyes which was blurred with tears and through t...

My Adaobi Episode 6 []We searched around the house but it was virtually empty. We went back to the room wondering what must have happened.  "Quincy whats that red thing on the ground" Princess asked me "Its tomato sauce " i replied her " It looks like blood" she said.  "No its not blood" "I don't like this house, let's go home" she said. Neither of us liked staying there too. We left the room, on our way out to the parlor, Ada's aunt came in.  "Aunty good afternoon" Ada greeted her and i too greeted her. She was on her uniform, she looked smart in it but her face wasn't so bright. She looked all worried. She had barely nodded at our greetings.  "Adaobi where have you been since?" she asked "Aunty i was at school, i'm just coming back now" Ada lied. She was fast with the reply like it was premeditated.  "And who is he?" She asked regarding me "He is my friend, i attend the ...

My Adaobi Episode 5 I felt a bit of pity for Janet even though I was blinded by my love for Ada. Asides her pompous and overbearing attitude, she was a sweet girl and did care a lot about me.  She came to my house the following day and i was alone. She seemed to have changed over night. She looked humbled and tired, her eyes were a shade of red and her face wasn't so bright as before. Believe me, i wasn't so happy this was happening but it was all pity that i felt, if love was ever in the equation, i will guess its so small to be consequential. She had sat and stared at me with pity in her eyes.  "What happened Quin, who is that girl?" she had asked me "Her name is Ada, i met her the last time i travelled to my village and she is right now living in this town" i didn't believe i was giving her the details, it only went further to prove how deep i was into Ada and i was ready to show her to the world.  "Quincy is there nothing left between us, is the...

My Adaobi Episode 4 []Ada came out to meet me at a spot a little distant from where they lived. She ran to me without her arms stretched for a hug, i hugged her and lifted her off the ground, whirled her around and dropped her. We held each other in a tight embrace for some time before i we disengaged and i observed her all over. She wore lose blue gown but her features were still well defined. I observed her long enough to decide that i hadn't made a mistake in falling for her. She was my spec and i could trade anything for her even Janet. I took her to a nearby pavement and i sat on it while she sat on my laps.  "Who's phone did you call me with?" i asked her  "My aunt's own, don't call it but i will always call you with it"  "Okay or maybe i will get my sister to do what she did the other".  She smiled and her facial features lit up. In that moment that we were alone, nothing else mattered, not even the chance that her aunt could bust in...

My Adaobi Episode 3 []I was Janet's territory and nobody was allowed to trespass. She gave life to the word insecurity. She would get jealous at me for even leaving her to attend to my sisters. Yes that was Janet. So you could imagine the amount of tongue lashing i got from her that day after Ada called. I had managed to convince her into believing that it was my cousin from the village that called. One thing i loved about her was that she was easily pacified. She was sure to smile for you after after a few teases...  Three days after the day Ada called and i was desperate to hear her voice again. I called like 5 to 6 times and her mom always picked and each time i would drop the call and block her number from calling back. I was getting frustrated when an idea struck me. I ran into Chinaza's room and met her changing from her school uniform, she wore only her pants and bra and quickly covered herself the moment i came in, i looked away and sat on her bed.  "The people who...

My Adaobi Episode 2 Our affair soon kicked off with the days that followed. She was a bit shy but can be naughty when she decides to. We downplayed out relationship, meeting only when nobody was around or in the covers of darkness. We would both walk together, hand in hand to a big tree that was at the back of our house, there we would snuggle together and tell each other the sweet tales of our lives. We even taught each other how to kiss and how we would like to be kissed and it was the best practical i have ever done. "Don't you have a girlfriend in the city?" she would often ask me and i would reply in the negative, although it was a lie, I couldn't afford to lose and ruin this perfect love with the truth. Sitting together, we would sketch love letters to each other and exchange them sealed to be read later at home. I got to know a great part of the village through her. She would give me a tour when she was less busy and we would walk hand in hand to place she thou...

My Adaobi Episode 1 My village was a relatively small one with a population of about 1700 people. My father was a high ranking member of the Igwe's cabinet and as such has just been invited to come to the village for an important event. The governor of our state was coming into the village for a visit and also to take the hand of a daughter of the land in marriage. It was indeed a great occasion which required the presence of every notable member of my village.  I had managed to convince my father to take me along with him to the village, not really because i wanted to meet the governor, no, that was far from my concern. My sole reason was based on a matter of the heart. A girl i had fallen in love with the last time i visited my village which was over 2 years ago.  Her name was Adaobi and she was the only daughter of her parents, of course she had 3 other brothers who were all her elders. I fondly called her Ada. I met Ada when my family visited my village for the Christmas c...

The company 7 (the end)  ............................................ As the chairman vetted out his anger on the managing director, the other members of the board tried to calm him down. After some minutes of anger and pacification, the chairman sat back on his seat and the meeting continued. But the chairman insisted that the managing director must leave the room while the board decided on how to handle the case. The managing director excused himself and went outside. Outside the room, the managing director saw Stanley sitting calmly and pressing his phone. He walked and stood in front of Stanley. Stanley felt uneasy as he didn't know what to expect from the managing director who was by then a wounded lion. The managing director stared at him for some time before saying "you want to be the giant killer, huh? We'd see where that will end for you". After saying that, he walked on. Immediately he left, Stanley heaved a sigh of relief and went back to his phone.  Stanle...

The company 6 ............................ The email put Stanley in a tight spot. He was happy to meet with the board and probably be given an opportunity to explain what he knew. But how was he going to explain to Anita that he was summoned by the board after he had submitted the evidence he promised not to submit? How would she bear the fact that he held her in his arms in her very low moment and comfortably lied to her? That thought ate some pounds off Stanley's body as he sought for the best way to break the news to his wife. There was no better way, everything boils down to betrayal and lie. He wished he could meet with the board without Anita's knowledge, but he couldn't. One way or the other, she should know about something as big as that.  When Stanley couldn't find a less hurtful way of telling his wife about his meeting with the board,, he resorted to showing her the email. Anita read the message twice to make sure she understood what it said before turning to...

The company 5 ............................... With the phone in her hand, Anita, Stanley's wife was already crying. Seeing her countenance, Stanley was alarmed. He was about asking what the problem was when she said "honey, they are going after my parents", while handing him the phone. Stanley quickly collected the phone and read the message. His mind became vague monetarily and fear enveloped him. He knew the case was going to be a tough one, but he didn't know it was going to involve making threats on human lives. Let alone his in-laws. He held his wife and tried to calm her. As he held her in his arms trying very hard to say the right words, his mind wandered off. He thought of the many ugly ways things could play out. He was in a dilemma thinking of who to save. Should he back out and save his in-laws? Or should he proceed and save the general public who could suffer uncountable losses if the fluid was distributed? As he thought, warm tears from his wife's ...
