Rekia wondered who could be banging the door this hard,the call ended before she could pick it.she quickly wore a shorts and polo and walked with hurried steps to the sitting room,that led outside.The banging had stopped."Who is there?" She asked.
There was no response from the other side,"Is anyone there?"
A sudden coldness swept through her body,she rushed back and picked her phone,she speed dialed his number and he picked,"Please come back to my place,its urgent.I think someone is trying to break in." She said and ended the call.She rushed to the kitchen and picked two knives,one in her hand and the other under her shorts.
After twenty minutes of waiting in fear,it seemed like eternity until she heard a horn it was him,he knocked two minutes later."Its me Adekunle,open the door." He shouted from the other side.
Rekia dropped the knives and opened the door for him,"Oh please come in."She said closing the door after him.
"Are you alright?" He asked,"What happened?"
"Some minutes after you left,I had my bath and I heard someone banging the door,but it stopped,I thought it was Toun at first,then when I got to my room,the banging continued,I came here and found no one." She explained breathlessly.
"Its alright,I'm here now." He held her hands,"Come with me." He opened the door and together they walked around the compound.There was no one and nothing there.
"You see there's no one." He told her,"Perhaps it was a figment of your imagination."
"No I heard it." She insisted.
"Will you come and sleep in my place?"
"No,I'll just stay here and lock the door."
"Will you be fine all by yourself?"
"I will." She assured him with a weary smile.
"That's my girl." He patted her shoulders,"Now lock the door from inside." He said and stepped out.she locked the door from inside and removed her key.
"Goodnight." He shouted from outside.She heard his car come to life.Her eyes went to the clock.It was some minutes past ten.She wished him a safe journey home.She wondered why Toun wasn't home yet,even if she was,it didn't matter.She strolled to the kitchen to find something to nibble on.

The alarm went off,and he reached to put it off,rather it fell off the bedside table and began to ring on the floor.Letting out a long hiss which was uncharacteristic of a man,he stretched his hand to pick it.The alarm was disturbing his sleep.
When he could no longer bear it,he yawned got up and picked it,he smashed it hard on the floor.The alarm went off,probably for the rest of its life.
Jacob sat up,he had an early morning meeting in the office not something his manager couldn't handle,he just wanted to be there.He felt the empty space beside him.His wife must be sleeping in the guest room.The happenings of last night flashed in his head.He was angry at first,but he had to subdue it until later.
He cleaned up and went downstairs for breakfast,the house was unusually quiet on a week day.He settled down to eat his toast,"Where are the children?" He asked all of sudden.
"Nnamdi." He called dropping the mug in his hand.
"Sir." He came out of no where.
"When are the children going to have breakfast,its seven already." Jacob said.
Nnamdi scratched his head and looked at his toes,"They're not in their room."
"I have told you never to let them go to school without breakfast."
"No,they didn't go to school,they went out with Madam."
"Which Madam?"
"Your wife."
"You can go." He waved him off,he got up and went to the guest room,after knocking for a while,there was no response,he pushed the door and it opened.There was no one there.
He rushed to the children's room,it was also empty."Where could she have gone with the kids so early in the morning." He thought to himself.
He returned to his room,opened Jane's closet,some of her clothes were gone.He went to find Nnamdi,"Did my wife tell you were she was going?"
"No sir." Nnamdi replied.
"Was she casually dressed?"
"Yes,and she had a bag with her."
Jacob got back to their bedroom,perhaps she had left him a note,but where could she have gone with the children.
He picked his phone and dialled her number,but it was switched off,he dialled his mother,Funmi,that was the first person he had to inform,"Wait,what would I tell her?" That my wife has absconded with the kids? Unbelievable!

The time was seven am when she got up,she switched on her phone to surf through some social media apps.She was enjoying herself when she heard the front door open.That must be Adetoun she guessed,only God knew where she slept last night.
The last thing she wanted was trouble of any sort from her house mate,as both avoided each other in the house.Her stomach growled and she climbed down the bed,to the kitchen.She still had some fresh eggs and sardine,so she decided to make noodles.She went to clean her mouth,and returned to dish her noodles,she picked the tray and headed to her room only to see Adetoun standing behind her.
"Good morning." She muttered and tried to leave.Adetoun hissed,"Hey come back here,what exactly is good about the morning,please tell me?"
Rekia stopped,"Look its too early for us to get into any argument,I don't have the time."
"Yes I know you won't have the time,beecause the only time you have has been given to my brother." Adetoun hissed again.
"So this is about Adekunle again,don't you get tired?"
"Ofcourse I don't,I am more concerned about my brother.And until you stay away from him,you'll have me to contend with."
"Can I ask you a question?" Rekia asked,but Adetoun didn't oblige her with an answer."What really is your problem with my dating your brother?"
"So many things,I repeat so many things,apart from the fact that you're older than him,you can't give birth and I don't want you to ruin this life." She replied.
"See Toun,I truly love him,he is my world,age is just a number andv we can always adopt,just calm down,you should be on my side and not against me." Rekia said to her,shifting her weight from one leg to another.
Adetoun clapped her hand,"So that was why you forced him to take you to see my mother and my aunt.I even got wind he was here last night,you better watch your back."
"I love Adekunle,and not even you can stop me."
"It can't happen,I won't sit back and watch you ruin him,I have said my own,it is because I am in a good mood this morning if not I would have dealt with you." Toun eyed her.
"You know I am only being patient with you as my sister-in-law to be,but if you push me to the extreme,if you stretch me to my limit,you won't like it."Rekia said and picked her tray from where she placed it.
"Sister in what? You better wake up from your foolish dreams,and even if I push you what will you do?" Toun poked Rekia's nose with her middle finger.
Rekia was silent and prayed for the power to restrain herself.
"No tell me,what will you do?" Toun shouted,seeing that Rekia was not willing to kiss the sand with her.she slapped away the tray in Rekia's hand causing the food to pour and breaking the glass of water.Toun let out another long hiss and sashayed away.

"Oscar don't break your toy." Jackie warned her son as he threw the toy helicopter up in the air.
"Yes mum,but its not flying." The little boy said to his mother. "I have told you that a toy helicopter can not fly,don't worry I'll buy you one that can fly soon." Jackie said and that seemed to have pacified the boy who was now content with rolling the helicopter on the floor.
Jackie stared at her brother for a while,"Please stop brooding,because it will not solve this issue." She told Jacob,who sat on the long sofa,he was wearing a black blazers over brown jean.His countenance was sad,he was worried.
He brushed his hair with his hands,"What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to tell her family?My mother-in-law would have my head in a plate,if I told her that Jane and the children are missing." He said.
"We will have to tell her soon,its been three days Jacob." Jackie replied."I know they're fine,only if she can just put a call through to assure us of their safety,and you said it was just a little mis-understanding you had."
"Just something trivial,and the next thing I knew she was gone with my kids." Jacob said."She must have gone to see her lover."
Jackie was quick to answer,"Oh please stop that,I have known Janet for a while now,she would never do that to you."
Jacob prayed it was true,he would never be able to bear the thought of her being with another man.His phone rang,it was Cynthia calling to see if they had heard from Jane,the thought of her beautiful body in his arms flashed in his mind,and he waved it away.
"When are you leaving?" He asked his sister."I want to go and see mummy."
"Let's go together." Jackie volunteered.
"No,its alright,its not that bad now,I'll just see her and come back home." He said.
"Don't do anything stupid please."
"I won't." He assured her.Jackie got up and went to find Nnamdi,she asked him to keep an eye on his boss and also gave him her number to call her if anything goes wrong.
Jackie returned to the sitting room,packed her son's toys and picked her bag."Oscar its time to go home,tell your Uncle goodbye." She said to her son,the little boy smiled and held his mother's hand."Goodbye Uncle."
"We're ready Jacob." She called.
"Goodbye Oscar,my regards to your daddy,Alright sis,I'll drive right behind you." He said leading the way outside."Thank you for always being there." He hugged her.
"You're welcome baby brother." She teased him.He smiled and they got into their various cars.Jackie drove out first,her son sat beside her in the front passenger's seat,with his seat belt hooked,followed by Jacob.He had so many things on his mind,and top priority on that list was finding his children.He sighed.

From all what i've read, this piece really needs to be rewritten.

It is very predictive and revolving. Without chapters, without nothing.

A true prose/novel has to have a defined plot, this has cascades of plots even running without a correlation.

Again, i speak with sincerity.

There was this prose by an African writer i read a few years ago, Joys of motherhood.

Dear me! Even as a british, the story caught me out nakedly with keenness.

It made sure it dealt aside the issues of the subordinate characters in the first few chapters before it wholeheartedly concentrated on the journey of "Nnuego" into motherhood and death. Thats how it is to be structured, well, a template for an example.

So, i advise the writer of this piece to go back to the drawing board because it would take a dogged editor who knows well his onions to tackle this. Well said, do not relent.

Nice story, to an extent. The writer is going round in circles, she creates too much suspense which she atimes forget to resolve. Too much of anything is bad, the suspense is making it somewhat boring. Again, the writer included a lot of stuffs that are impossible in real life, how can someone who is HIV positive have a vision of getting married to a negative person and still claim to be head over heels in love with him?
You can do better dear, your descriptions are kind of childish and not obtainable in real life.

My 1cent though...

my dear this my thought exactly, if this work should be anything better it should be rewritten, so many irrelevant details, I remembered sometime ago when Hannah was still in school, had one bf, that threw a party, she went as the queen or what, can't even remember what ever happened there bcoz it was completely unnecessary, she made it look like there was suspense there, or there was somtin to look out for in that scene yet it was just any empty scene which holds little or no bearing to the story line, so many other stuffs like that in the story. In my opinion this story should hv ended a long time ago. The writer will then use this energy to a fresh story, even if is in same direction.

Yeah. and that is why literature has given room for sequels.

I'm made to believe Jacob and hannah are the core characters, deal with them solely

Wow!
What can I say?
****speechless****
Not because of the update,but.....

Modified....
Haha!
These comments are scary,there should be more polite ways to say these things.
This story used to be one of the best stories on NL literature section.
From what I've read, I think Flakkydagirl need to pause the story for a while and make some corrections

Flakkydagirl:
Ooops!
