Hey just4yhu show urself nah

He knocked the door again. Why is no one answering? He wondered. the last knock made Obinna remembered there had been knocks on d door 4 d last minutes. Who could be at the door at his time? He wondered as he went to the door to unlock it. He turned the knob and pulled the door. The door opened and Emmanuel rushed in. He was looking around the hosue terrified as if something bad had happened to him! "Why are you here this late? Why is your expression like this? It's past ten mehn!! He rushed the questions.

Fatimah took a glance at the wall clock. What? Its almost eleven o'clock and she has to go home at this time? She is now in a red top and jean, the clothes Obinna had picked for her while packing!
I'm here to spend the night. Mom is away and you know i cant sleep alone in that house. I have been knocking for a long time but no answer and by the way, what's the noise have been hearing? Errmm, mother.... "Nothing you should concern yourself with" Obinna cut Fatimah short 'And am going out now, will you wait?

"Where are you going at this time?" 'I've got to take Fatimah home' "why?" "None of your business" "But you cant take me home, your mom is annoyed so you have to stay here, I can find my way home" "Your mom is angry Obi? What is the matter, am in the dark here guys" "No problem, she's just angry this days and she cant ask me not to go out so lets go! He grabbed Fatimah and pulled her towards the door. "Obi, so you are going out hen? You dont care if I'm angry or not? You must not come back to this house!!

Mrs Cole was very mad at Obi! How could he think of taking the poor dirty girl home? She had been eavesdropping! She prays he is just been good and not what she is thinking. To be truthful, Fatimah is a good girl. She is respectful and had always carried out her duties gladly just that she dislike the girl and that started when Obinna was scolded because of her and Emmanuel had taken interest in her.
"Obinna, you go to mom, I'll take her" emmanuel offered. "No, she is my responsibility and I must take her!

"How is she your responsibility, she is just your housegirl!" "No, she's not just a girl, okay?" He pulled Fatimah towards the door but his father's voice stopped him! He felt dejected. "Okay, you can take her" He dropped the bags and moved to closer to Fatimah. The distance is so little. Fatimah could hear his heart beating! She suddendly feels nervous and started sweating! Obinna pulled her into his arms and hugged her and whispered into her ear! Fatimah shundered at this! She couldnt believe this!!!

He freed her and stood aside! Fatimah looked thoroughly at him!! His legs, broad chest, muscular arms, haircut, noise and his red lips! He is so handsome! She blushed at this thought! "We have to go" emmanuel said and took her bags. As she made to walk past Obinna towards the door, Obinna grabbed her, bent her sideway gently and took her lips in his!!! Emmanuel mouth was left ajar with his eyes almost out of their sockets!!! Obinna gently released her. Emmanuel furiously pulled her out and slammed the door!

Hey man, do u knw dat u deserve a knock on ur head! Where have u been since all these days ehn

Fatalveli:
Hey man, do u knw dat u deserve a knock on ur head! Where have u been since all these days ehn

Am sowi ooo!!! its just that i'v been busy these days + had to attend the workshop

******
Back in the car, silence prevailed as Emmanuel drove Fatimah home. No one was talking and Fatimah is uncomfortable with this. She decided to break the silence. Just then, Emmanuel asked for the direction to the house. She give him and use the opportunity to engage him in a conversation. "So, you're mommy's boy? You can't sleep without your mom? Thats funny o!" 'Not really, just that i cant sleep alone in the whole house" he said looking at her! She smiled at him! "That's why u came over? "Yes"

As the car moved on with Fatimah talking, Emmanuel was thinking deeply! "Should I ask her about the incident leading to her exile or I ask her out? No, she won't appreciate my asking her out at this moment" He heavied a deep sigh. "Fatimah, what really happened tonight! Why were you leaving the house so late?" She immediately stop talking! The happenings of the previous hours came back to her The hugs, the kiss!! Oh my God!!! She smiled slowly at the thought of Obinna's feelings, are those true? 'Fatimah?'

'What were you thinking?" "Oh noting!" "So what happened?" No, she must never say the truth, Obinna had told her not to tell him "Nothing serious, just that I was supposed to leave in the afternoon but I had some things to do so I had to leave late but Obi offered to drive me so I wasn't exiled, I had stop working for them" she said with her face down "And please drive faster" Emmanuel knew she was hiding something from him! as if he care though! He want her body not solve or share in her problems!!!

******
Ada followed her father into his room!! She had an explanation but her dad had refused to hear her out!! As soon as Mr. Cole sat, she went down on her kneels!! "Dad, let me explain!! "Explain what? Oh, that you had sex when we had a promise or what? He blurted, anger visibly written on his face!! "Am disappointed, how could you have sex after all we discussed about kéeping your virginity? You simply disobeyed me! You promised to wait till the appropriate time!! You are 19 for God sake!!!

"Daddy pie, its not what you think" she said sweetly, 'You should know I cant disobey you!! I'm not having sex dad. The condoms you saw where distributed at an awareness program I attended! I cant break our promise." Mr Cole's face lightened up at this, if this is true, then he is very proud of his daughter "Is that true?" "Yes dad, am not a prostitute to use those!" "I'm so sorry baby, I'm sorry i doubted you, I'm so relieved! He lifted her up and hug her "I love you baby." "I love you more dad".

Hmmm i smell foul play

*****
Aminat was preparing for shop! She had been using Fatimah's salary as an househelp to build her business and it was booming, just not big enough. since Fatimah had béen sent out from there, she had been helping with the shop!! She trust her daughter, it was all a set-up!!!! "Fatimah, am going to work, and dont be late in coming" "Yes Mom, I just have some chorus to attend to and I'll meet you there" "Oda, just come quickly" she said as she exit the house! The distance wasnt much so soon she's there.

******
They both entered the house! It has béen a tiring day! After dinner, Fatimah sat beside her mother with a serious look "What is it with that look, don't ask me for chocolate o, because I won't buy for you". "No mom, i want to talk about my education, I want to further it. Even if just a polythecnic, please". "I know dear, am working towards it and i know the God am worshipping will not let me down. There's nothing he can't do." "Okay mom, i've heard you so i'll retired to bed now". "Odaaro oko mi".

*****
Aminat was absent-minded. Anyone who saw her would think she was watching t.v. buh she is long gone. How will I raise the money for Fatimah's school? Should I go to my father for help? No, I won't, after all he did to me? These were the thoughts going through her mind!!!!! suddenly, someone tapped her!! "What"? Aunty mi? She ran her palm over her face twice. Haeemah smiled at her. "My dear, you are not dreaming, its me! How have u been" Aminat stood and hug her aunt! Its been a long time.

She sobbed loudly! 'Sister mi, I missed you so much' "I know dear, am so sorry for all u went through, I couldnt help since I went for hajj that time and when I came back, you were nowhere to be found. Even your dad regret his actions" "I know sister, but I dont want to disturb the family so I had to leave" "So, how is your child, a he or she? "A she. Fatimah! come here and greet someone" Fatimah rushed from the shop outside! She stood beside her mother. "Good God, she is a grown up!! she must be 18 right?"

"Yes, she is 18. Oya, greet the visitor." Fatimah greeted casually and went inside! She wondered who the visitor is that her mother was so full of joy. "I was shopping in the market when I saw you, I couldn't believe until I came to touch you. Am so happy we met! Aminat smiled brightly, its been so long. "I also have a bad new for you although I don't dont know if I should say it" "Say it now, it doesnt matter" "Hmm, your father really searched for you but its a pity he didnt see u before he did" "What?"

Fatimah ran outside at the voice of her mother. She met her crying! What's wrong mom? Please Ma, she turned to Haeemah, what happened?" "Your grandfather is dead" "Mom, Which grandfather? Your dad? Aaawwww!!!". She helped her mother inside the shop and Haeemah followed. After Aminat had calm down, Haeemah spoke "It is a blessing in disguise to you my dear, your dad loves you very much and even in his dying moments" "How is this a blessing? Dad! Daaaaaddd!!! she screamed! "Calm down, and let me talk joor"

"You sée my dear, she moved closer to Aminat, your father left all his property for you" (as some of you had guessed) "Really? Even if he did more than that, I'll neva forgive him, when I néeded him most, he sent me out, sister, he sent me away! She sobbed uncontrollably. "I know Aminat but you have to take heart, you must go back and take over his business, good thing you are not new at this" Yes, she knows alot about the textile company, her father had always prepared her as the heir. Those times!

Those happy times! Even as a little girl of 16, she knows most of the textile by touch, she designs alot and her father had been so proud of her. 'Mom, i think we should go home' 'No, you have to visit your mother first, she had been hospitalized ever since your father's death' 'What? My mom? Oh no. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she started sobbing afresh! Even though her father is dead, she is greatful her mom is still alive. But hospitalized? God! Fatimah was very happy, so she finally have a grandmom?
