Episode 13

My name is Daniel Ayomiposi Johnson.
I work in an IT company in America. But I’ve always wanted to come back home. A friend of mine in the State introduced me to some of his client here in Nigeria. Now I’m here to start my own IT firm fully.

Mr Paul is my friend's cousin who shows me around here since I don’t have family members or friends here. He runs an IT firm. My extended family members are in Ekiti.

As for my relationship status, my girlfriend broke up with me, when I told her about my plans of coming back to Nigeria. Although she’s Nigerian but she said she can’t leave the state” He stated.

“I can’t really blame her, she can’t just leave her life over there and follow you down here” I said

“Don’t you feel If she really loves me as she claims, she will come with me?”

“She may have her reasons, it’s her life and the report people in abroad gets from here is not that encouraging, so don’t blame her”

“Even if I want to change my mind about staying, I think meeting you won’t let me change my mind” he said with a straight face.


Hmm, you didn't disappoint. I like this new twist to the story. The bolded sounds like a really valid reason a girl will want to call it quit. A man might be all about the passion, and changing the world, while the woman is concerned with the safety and comfort of the family. Nice work!

Episode 10
Some minutes later, the gateman opened the gate and led me into the house. The house was beautiful, the sitting room was tastefully furnished.

I stood in the sitting room waiting for him to come out, he joined me later, we exchanged cold greetings.

“How did you know this place?”

“Walls have ears you know! do you expect me to just fold my hands and do nothing about us”

“Why are you here?”

“Tunde, I’m here for just one reason, where did I go wrong?”

“Pamilerin, you did not do anything wrong, I know I promise to come see you but have been very busy”

"I think by now you should have a better excuse than 'busy' or what do you think?"

"I wish you could understand"

"Understand what? that you left because of all this"

"This has nothing to do with my present status"

"Really"

"Just give me some time to clear my head, because right now I don't even know what I want"

"I get it, after five years... you want something new right? you are bored with us"

"Don't put it like that, please give me time.."

He was still talking when I saw a lady walked down the stairs. She was wearing a crop top on a bum short. She’s fair and her skin was glowing like that of a super model.

I'm not bad myself, that is obvious but this lady is one of those who spend every penny they have on looking good.

“Baby can you please give us some minutes, I’ll meet you upstairs” he said to the lady.
Baby! I exclaimed

“I’m sorry I can’t, who is she anyway?” she asked Tunde.

“She’s a friend”

“A friend! so she’s the baby and I’m the friend right! now I get it” I said

“I don’t care who she is, but I need her to leave this place this minute before I call security to throw her out” she yelled

“Tunde I’m not leaving this place until you answered my question or don’t you think you owe me an explanation. You got a new job, you even relocated without telling me, God knows I did not deserve this from you”

“Stop right there gold digger, so that’s why you are here, to reap where you did not sow!” the lady launched at me.

“That should be my line, Don’t you know you are the gold digger here, reaping where you did not….

Before I finish the statement, her hands had already landed on my cheek, I stepped forward and returned the slap. Tunde hurriedly stood in between us.

“You watched her slap me and you do nothing about it? She lashed at Tunde

“Antonia! but you slapped her first”

“Really! I know what to do” She went out, called the Security and they ushered me out of the house.

Tunde said nothing, he watched as I was been led out of his house.

I took a cab that carried me straight to my house, thank God I had enough money on me, I cried silently in the cab.

I got a message from him on way home, he apologized for what happened in his house and promised to check on me.

I got home and cried bitterly. This is the guy that I love with the whole of my life, a guy I made so many sacrifices for. I spent five years of my life nurturing this relationship.

He was the only guy I dated all my life. I remembered the abortion and wept the more. I still live with the guilt till now. Even after the abortion I still went ahead to satisfy his sexual pleasures all because I want to please and keep him. I’ve done things I wished I could take back. All because of him.

Now i admit that sex won’t make men stay, they leave when they feel like and they stay if they want to, sex or no sex.

That night I wipe away my tears, took my bath and encouraged myself to forget about him and move on. I told God that night to strengthen me and help me move on because 5years relationship is not a joke.

I ended the relationship within me, having it at the back of my mind that I’m no longer in a relationship, meaning I’m officially single. Its obvious he doesn’t want the relationship either, so I’ll just sit back and wait for the day he’ll come to give his break up speech.


@ bold. nice line. It got me cracking loud.

Hi Rachealfst,

Just came across this and I must say it's pretty nice but I've a few reservations.

Firstly, several people have stated this but I feel the need to emphasize more on it. The plot is generally beautiful thanks to the moral message you are passing but sadly it isn't well developed. The fast paced nature of the story makes us the readers lose the pleasure proper "detailing" can add to a story. I'll advice you take your time and tell us more about the story. It feels like you are just telling us a regular story whereas I think it would be a master piece if you can describe more. I've read 17+ pages and I really have no idea how the lead character, Daniella, looks like or what any of the scenes are like. Don't just tell us the story, "show" it to us.

Secondly, I think a little suspense here and there would help a lot. The plot keeps people coming back for more but suspense and curiosity would keep people eyes attached to the story.

Thirdly and lastly, this is not really important as your grammar is almost perfect and typos are had to come by but there still are a little typos every here and there, and if you plan on taking writing to the next level, you might want to go beyond dependency on automatic Spelling Checkers and actually read through for typos and grammatical errors.

All in all, this is a beautiful story, and more ink to your pen. Shallom cheesy.

PEACe.

Episode 17
“What exactly happened” I asked Mr Paul anxiously.

“My cousin said Daniel had problem with the company he’s working with in the states. He’s employer doesn’t want him to resign, I heard he’s the brain behind the company, so a lawsuit had been filed against him”

“Oh my God, why are this white people like this, so they expect their employees to work under them for the rest of their lives?”

“That’s what they do over there, they are Ready to pay for your brain till it stop functioning. I even heard they tripled he’s pay and still he insisted he’s leaving”

“Do they have to file a lawsuit? That’s extreme for crying out loud”

“He’s been doing some running around, just to win the case. I think he purposely kept it a way from us, especially you, he did not want you to worry for him”

“It is well at least now we know what to pray on, they will drop that lawsuit by God’s grace”

“I believe he’ll scale through”

“Amen, thanks you so much Mr Paul”

“You don’t have to thank Mr, Daniel is my friend too”

“I hope his absence didn’t affect anything here?” I asked

“Not at all, I’ve put things on hold till he comes back” he replied

"Ok" We talked a little about me, before we ended the call.



***
Days turns to weeks, weeks turns to months and I didn’t hear from him.
Mr Paul had been very friendly, he called and we hang out once in a while.

Then one faithful day, my phone rang, i checked the callers ID and guess who called?

“Daniel!” I almost screamed

“Daniella, I’m sorry I’ve wronged you, I’m very sorry for the silence all this why. Things are beyond me

“I understand, I’m just happy to hear your voice

“Daniella I starred at my phone every night before I go to bed but I couldn’t bring myself to call you”

“Those people almost torn me apart, but God intervened, I won the lawsuit”

“Thank God “ I almost screamed. I was so happy.

“Yes, I won, I did not only win, I was paid compensation money worth millions of dollars including my entitlement”

“I’m so happy Daniel, finally. I want to hear the full gist, what really happened. Didn’t you notify them that you’re leaving?

“Off course I did, I submitted my resignation six month before I came to Nigeria”

“Really that’s enough notice, what exactly is now their problem”

“The only problem they have is me leaving the company. You can’t believe I was framed up”

“Are you for real?”

“I was told to pay some ridiculous amount of money, if I want the law suit to be dropped”

“Why are this white people like this! They are racist, I’m sure they can’t do these to a white man”

“They think they can buy people over with money, they use your brain and expect to work under them till your brain is inefficient”

“I heard you are the brain behind the company”

“I won’t dispute that and I’m been paid handsomely. But I just want to leave, but now is over, I’m a free man”

“Congratulations once again” I said

“I’m I forgiven?”

“You did not offend me, I shut people out to when I’m going through hard times so I understand”

“Thanks for your understanding. I really miss talking to you”

“Same here” I said smiling

“I’m coming back next month, I need to tidy up some things here”

“Alright, we'll be expecting you”

“I promise to talk to you ever day till I return”

“Okay…”

Every thing went back to normal, Daniel is just too wonderful while Mr Paul was always checking on me.
With this new relationship between the three of us, I forgot everything about the past and looked forward to the future.
