NYSC section stole my heart away when literature section's future was looking so bleak

but with the homecoming of d9ty7 and larrysun, there is hope

so more of me you'll b seeing around
Re: The Thomas....(a Family) by ibizgirl(f): 11:14am On Mar 10, 2015
Oga d9ty7 you are the bomb. I love this story, unpredictable and filled with lots to learn. Serena's dad is been too hard on her, but I can understand given his recent break up. @ 18 girls have boyfriend but it's the parents that can guide them on the level to which those relations should go.

__________________________________________

Taking time to study the philosopy behind the existense of heaven, earth and the things that dwell in them, one would realise that everything created by God is in pairs. While the created heaven, he created earth and both places are dweliing places. While he created the animals on air, he created the ones on land, while he created man, he added the woman to make the equation complete, an act that brought about pocreation and reproduction. While he created the good, he created the bad, while he created the saviour of the world, at a point, one of his creations became the agent of destruction. And it is in nature for man at a point to keep making efforts and in the end, have nothing to show for it, while some set of people put little or no efforts at all and in the end, things tends to work their way. But as nature is no respecter of anybody, a day or time will come when the always successful man will hit his low and fail, while the man who has never tasted success will at a point make it big and looking back, he will feel like he had never suffered in his life.
Serena tried to cast her mind back to the time everything was rosy between her parents and happiness runing through the family. She realised that there was never a time to pick because her present predicament seemed to have beclouded her sense of reasoning. And just like a popular writer, J K Rowling once said in one of her books, "these creatures are out to suck out the happiness in ones life and the only way to foil their attempt is to think of sad moments in your life." And nature sometimes plays trick on us, because at the time when one tries to think of sad moments, happy moments keep springing up, thereby empowering the creatures.
Serena after her father had walked out on her three days ago, she has been unable to face him. She had skipped meals and eaten in the comfort of her room. Skipped going to church by either going on her own or going to any of the branches nearby.
She remembered the last conversation she had with Davies, how he had adviced her like the big brother he was and she could not help but agree with everything he said.
The doorbell rang bringing her out of her reverie, as she stood up and walked towards the frontdoor to meet Jake who had already forfeited his flight schedule all in the name of love.
"Hi." He said.
She ignored him and let him into the house. Her heart pumped faster, being her first time of inviting a boy home without Stephanie beside her.
"Thanks for allowing me to come. At least I will be able to explain myself.
"Shhhh." You don't need that. Am cool with you." She replied and could see his eyes lit up in happiness.
"But I still don't see sense in why you have refused to return to school."
"There is enough sense in it. I am working on my transfer already." He replied.
"And you had no problem convincing dad and mum?" she asked.
"Dad was okay with it, afterall, he was never in support of my living alone in the states, but mum, she took me to three churches, before she was sure that I am not possessed." He replied with a short laugh and Serena could not help but smile too.
"Sorry don't mind my manners. What do I offer you?" She asked.
"Your heart and the love that comes with it." He replied.
She looked at him like he was acting or playing a prank, but the serious and expectant look on his face told her all she needed to know. That was when she realised that she wasn't ready to discuss things with him before she allowed him to visit. Now, she couldn't decline his request and also couldn't accept it.
"Fine, I'll just get you a pack of fruit juice." She said as she walked into the kitchen where she had to sit down to think.
"Are you okay?" He asked five minutes later when she hadn't returned.
"Yeah. Am fine." she replied as she got up on her feet and approached the fridge, but he prevented her from doing so.
"Baby, what's going to happen to us, now that I have decided to stay?" He asked.
"I don't know o." She replied.
"Are you saying despite all my pleading, you still find it hard to forgive me? Even if nothing happens between us."
"You can't understand."
"Really? Don't try me, because I understand more than you do. But to die while struggling is not in my gene. I stabbed my pride and pleaded to you or do you think I can beg just any girl? That shows how special you are, but its all good. And I will just leave."
Is this boy loosing it? What did I say that warrants this?" She asked herself as she ran after him, with one thing in mind, hug him and tell him she was joking.
"Jake, please wait." She called as she got out of the house, only to see her father discussing with Jake like they were familiar with each other. One burning look from her father influenced her reasoning, as she turned back. Into the house she went.

The bolded got me cracking. And btw, thanks for reading and also dropping your comment.
But you'll be the one to talk to Jake. You know I am a man, but if you talk to him, he will listen to you. He can slap me if I try talking to him.
