You can do it...
If you are using a phone...
It sould take up to 5000 space ..so take your time to write...
When ppl correct somthn i what you write...It helps you not to do a next time...Maybe you thought that was the way it was done but some people do not just like it...
So that builds you

Dedicated to those that took their time to vote for me.

Chapter 19b
Peace stared at the table, with a pen fixed between her teeth as she wondered how she would get the password.
Then, an idea struck her. She smiled as she remembered her favourite character, Alexandra, in the movies 'Xena', who was really a good character to emulate; one who had enough tactics, and was able to escape giant, and other things with her mouth, brain, and confidence.
She went to Bimpe's office with a lighthead.
'Well done, ma', she said, all of her senses heightened. She heard every of the instruments playing the high-life music Bimpe was listening to. High-life music has now become a blood in Bimpe's veins, there was no day she would not listen to it. Even, Peace have now begin to have a strange liking for it, that she now sings most of them unconciously; in fact, she knows most of their lyrics. Bimpe was not resisted to any particular genre; she listened to gospel, traditional, secular e.t.c
Today, she was listening to Baba mbe by Erujeje, Peace joined Bimpe in appreciating the song after she listened to the comedy of the singer, Erujeje, where he was correcting singers' diction. She always laughed whenever she remembers what he said about Teacher and student. The student was beaten at school,so, he went to call his father, who was annoyed at the teacher for beating his child; when the Father got to the school, the teacher told him the boy cannot spell some words. Out of anger, the father ask ed the teacher if he can spell anything, of which teacher affrimed. Then, the father hissed, 'tshiu', and requested that the teacher spell it.
Today, although, the volume of the player was low, she could still pick out everyword.
' Eh eh oba wa,
ah ah ah Oba wa', she hummed, trying not to rush into what she came for.
' Thank you!' Bimpe replied, going back to her work.
' Hope there is nothing for me to do for you?'.
' Nothing...', Bimpe replied again, she lit up her face, 'Yes...there is. Please, you have to go to Madam's house now, to bring her laptop'.
Peace laughed internally, making some puff of air escape through her nose, when Bimpe mentioned Madam, do they still think she does not know her name.
'Oh! You want to use it here?'
'Yes...'
'I like the way you and Madam are so close that she can even give you her password'.
She noticed Bimpe, who was going back to face what she was updating, suddenly raised up her head. She picked her phone and dialled Paula's number.
Peace knew that Bimpe was always behaving like an old woman whenever it comes to making calls, she likes putting the phone on speaker. So, when Bimpe started calling, she moved away for it to look as if she was looking at some picture for Bimpe not to change her mind, and put the call on 'Handheld'.
'Grnnnn', the phone rang at the other end once, twice,thrice- it was cut short.
'Hello', she heard Paula's voice clearly from the phone.
' hello', Bimpe started, 'What is your password? I almost forgot about it'.
' My name.'
'No, I mean your password'.
'That's what I was saying, my name'.
'that's great...Hope it is not to be capitalised?'
' It is not, you can use it anyhow'.
' I'm sending Peace to you, now'.
'That's good'..
Peace understood the rest from there. She got out almost jumping, but she dared not do any foolish thing lest Bimpe suspect something which she did not love her to.
With that she took her car out of the building of Arowolo street, Arowolo could not be called a street but a close, even though it was not actually a close, it might be referred to as a close, the end of the street is bounded by a bush. She started playing a song, an indian clip from the film 'Anjani Anjana', where Ranbir Kapoor, and Priyanka Chopra were the main actors.
She loves listening to indian song whenever she wants to plan. Since, she does not know the meaning of the songs, she knows she would not think on the lyrics.
The moment she get the, she was going to copy everything on it into some new cds in her car that she can use.
She was ready to find her child, her child of ten years.

Chapter 20

Peace suddenly had a change of plan.
After she got the laptop from Paula, she had done exactly as she had planned- she had started copying every files on the system but things changed, as her phone rang.
' Hello darling,' she said into the mouthpiece as soon as she picked the call. Sylvester had been able to penetrate her wall of resistance, she was, now, able to switch her affair from Ayo to Sylvester.
It was sylvester calling.
'Hello, Honey', he replied, 'how are you?'
' I'm good'...
'Are you free now, because I just wish to see you'.
'Well I'm at Ajegunle road... You know where it is now?'.
'Behind that Ajib Petrol Station?'
'Ehnnn... Yes'.
' I will be taking you for a lunch', he declared, suddenly.
' uhn!!!', she choked, and moaned in desire to have lunch with him, which is against the urge to go on with her business.
'Okay', she announced after a pause of about 10 seconds.
She decided to call Bimpe that her car broke down, and is currently being fixed by a mechanic.
With that she went to meet Sylvester, had a good time with him- they talked,joked and made plans. Then, she returned to the company.
She was always ready to give an answer for every question, and this helped her today, as she told Bimpe high and low story of what happened on the road.
She wanted to see the content of the cd immediately, so she returned quickly to her office. In order to avoid disturbance, she turned the page of the some leaflet that had been glued to the door of her office which had been made for others to know if the occupant of the office was around. 'Seriously Busy, Don't Disturb'. Then, she locked the door of her office from the back, brought out her laptop, and inserted the Cd.
She sat on the chair, shaking her legs, tapping her fingers on the table and shaking her teeth. She was happy she went to eat with Sylvester, she would not have finished copying the files on the laptop, because after her lunch with Sylvester she met the Cd still copying, and it stopped copying when she got to the fourth streets from Arowolo street.
When the Cd opened, the first thing she saw surprised her, it was titled 'My Past' but she decided to search for baby's video.
''Kwo! Kwo!! Kwo!!!'' the knock was higher than the voice of her pumping-heart.
Swiftly, she logged out of her laptop, rushed to the door, opened it to face a worried Bimpe.
' What happened to your phone', Bimpe asked, her face still wrinkled.
'My phone?', Peace asked rhetorically, looked towards her table which was adjacent the window.
'My phone??' she asked again, looking about in the office.
' I must have dropped it in the car', she blurted out after she could not find it.
' I think we have invited trouble', Bimpe declared, her face distorted.
Peace head went dry, blank, white, black, blue, then back to black, and finally red.
'Trouble'.
'Come to my office'.
