Strange but True
Episode 12

"Benita please I have been thinking about this for a very long time since I stopped going to the hospital", he stated. 

"And what have you been thinking of?", I asked. 

"Have been thinking of you ", he revealed. 

The moment he stated those words I became tensed and uncomfortable. 

"How do you mean?", I asked. 

"Right from the moment I saw at the hospital I was moved to help you, not just because I needed to buy because I gained a soft spot for you. You are different from most girls I have seen and came in contact with, I really want to be with you and share my life with you", he revealed. 

"Ah Kenneth! What are you saying?", I asked still in awe of what was going on.

"I mean I love you Benita and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I want you to be my wife", he emphasized. 

"Jesus! Kenneth, are you sure you know what your doing? Because in two days time i will be your brother's wife, besides what do you want me to say?", I asked.

"I know and I should have come to you earlier to tell you how is feel. I don't mean to mess up your plans but I will love you to say yes to me", he replied.

"Wait what about Jane your fiancee?", I asked him.

"I dated Jane for a year and six months, I loved her so much. I never knew she was a con artist (scammer). She took a huge amount of money that was supposed to be for our wedding and vanished,leaving a letter saying she never loved me", he stated as tears rolled down his eyes.

I began to feel his pain and I gave a tissue towel to wipe his tears. 

"I have wanted you for so long, even right in the hospital. I liked you and wanted you to be mine but you where head over heels with your fiancee Jane. So what do you want from me now? To leave Rex your brother and marry you?" I asked.

"Am really sorry Benita, I knew you liked me but I couldn't leave Jane to be with you", he replied. 

"That's the same way I can't leave Rex to be with you, please Kenneth an done with this conversation. Leave my house", I said with tears and rage in my eyes. 

"Benita it hasn't gotten to this, please just think about it.  Remember i saved your father's life, choose between who saves life and a job giver", he stated before he stood up to leave my house. 

I was dumbfounded, how can choose between who saves life and a job giver?

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...
