"Your future?" I asked.
"Yes dear mother."
"Do you mind making things clear to us?" Liam said.
"Well dad, I don't want to continue with medicine and surgery anymore."
"Kara, are you sure you're ok?" I asked.
"Of course mum. I want to go to fashion school in Abuja instead."
"Kara,what's all this? You've never let us have peace with your medical dream and now you've suddenly decided to go into fashion." Rachel yelled.
"Keep it down Rachel." I cautioned.
"Rachel,you know I've also had a thing for fashion." Kara replied.
"Yeah right but it wasn't as strong as your desire to be a doctor." Rachel retorted and she turned to me "Mum,there's something fishy in this silly decision of hers."
"Shut up Rachel. Is it a crime to pursue my dream?"
Rachel scoffed and sat still.
"Kara,you know me well. I believe in solid reasons so tell me why you've decided to take this kind of leap." Liam said coolly.
"Dad, I'm doing well with my course right now but my mind has long left medicine and surgery. I want to explore my own world of creativity."
"I see." He replied.
Liam began a long sermon. My mind was racing fast. The Kara I know would never make such a spontaneous decision. I resolved within me not to react harshly. I would just sit back and watch. That way,her secret would be out for all of us to see.
"What do you think darling?" Liam broke into my thoughts.
"Oh! I think we should let her be. I love people who hold on to their dreams."
"What was that mum?" Rachel asked.
"You heard me well Rachel. Let her pursue her dream. Kara,I'll always support you no matter what."
Kara was grinning from ear to ear. "Thanks mum. Dad?"
"I'm with your mum. We'll make necessary arrangements."
Kara squealed in delight. "My parents rock."
Rachel hissed and left the table.
"Mum give dad a hug for me na." Kara requested.
I hugged Liam and whispered in his ears. "Trust me,I've got a fine plan for your daughter."
I turned to Jamille whose mouth lay open all the while." Mille,won't you say something?"
She shook her head. "Excuse me." She said.
"Kara,let's pack up since your sisters have decided to disappear."
She smiled almost happily.
"Something's up with you Kara and I'll find out." I thought as Liam and I watched her.

Jamille

I went to my room. I wished I had someone to talk to. If only Niel would stop his silly behaviour. Kara had really gone against the plan. I sat by my window wondering what had gotten into her.
She came to my room later as I expected. What surprised me was the first thing that came out from her mouth.
"Hey sis. Won't you come sleep in my room tonight?" She asked as she stepped in and closed the door behind her.
"Bravo Kara." I clapped my hands.
"Meaning?"
"I never knew you were an actress Kara. How could you do that without batting an eyelid?"
"What the hell did you expect me to do Mille? You wanted me to tell them?"
"Well, yes Kara.You've only complicated things here. If you couldn't do it by yourself,you could have told me. We would have given it more time or I would have helped you tell them what was going on."
"It's easy for you to say Mille because you're not the one in this damn dilemma."
"What dilemma Kara?" Rachel said. We were too busy yelling to notice her entrance.
"And why are you both yelling?" She probed further.
"It's none of your business Rachel." Kara said. She was glaring at me.
"Oh yeah it is. My quiet sister is yelling. Something's wrong." Rachel smiled.
"For the last time,I'm warning you to shut your damn mouth."
"Damn mouth. Hmm,new word in your vocabulary. I know you're hiding something. I only pretended not to notice for the past few weeks because I wasn't ready for you." She moved from behind Rachel to stand before her. "Trust me Miss Kay,I always get what I want. You're not an exception. If I don't find out what demon has possessed you,change my name."
She walked out as quietly as she came in. When Kara was about to breathe a sigh of relief,she came back.
"By the way,I called Eric today. He wishes you a happy life."

"Mille,I don't want us to keep this malice anymore please." She sat on my bed.
It was a Thursday. I was supposed to be in school but I came back because Kara would be leaving in the evening. Even though we hadn't been on speaking terms ever since the night she lied,I still had to accompany her to the airport.
"You're the one who has refused to talk to me all this while Kara." I dropped my phone. "Alright,I'm sorry Kara."
"I'm sorry too Mille. You know I love you right?"
"Yeah I do." We hugged. "Gosh! I've missed your hugs Kara."
She laughed.
"How's the baby?"
"Baby's fine. Baby will miss you."
"Kara,don't you think..."
"Mille,I'll send them a mail when I get to Abuja. I just don't want to face their full anger ."
"Alright."
"Kara,aren't you travelling again today?" Mum barged into the room.
"I am mum."
"Then let's go to the airport already. We have to be somewhere else after dropping you."
Kara left for her room to bring her luggage and soon we were on our way to the airport.
Mum who had earlier said she and dad would go somewhere else immediately we dropped Kara,ended up staying till Kara's plane took off.
"Mum,I want to go back to school tonight." I said as we were driving home.
"Why don't you got tomorrow morning?" Dad asked.
"I just feel like going back today."
"Na wa o. All my children are feeling like doing this or that. Kara felt like relocating to Abuja. Rachel felt like not coming to escort Kara to the airport and now you feel like going back to school. It is well with me and my husband o." Mum said.
"Mummy! I have night class to attend mbok."
"It's okay o. So you'll come back again tomorrow?"
"I'm not sure. Gloria asked me to come over to her place."
"Let's drop you then." Dad put in.
The real reason I wanted to go back was because I didn't want to see what would happen when Kara sent the mail to mum and dad.
"Mille,you didn't say you'll be back tonight." Gloria said as I entered the apartment.
"I didn't think I would but I just had to get back tonight."
"Oh ok. So I have a question for you Mille."
"Spill." I fetched myself a glass of water.
"Are you and my bro quarreling?"
"He's alive and well dear. Do me a favour and ask him." I blew her a kiss.
"You guys are really best friends. He told me the same thing. Your 'Niel'." She giggled.
"He's in China anyway and I'm missing him." She said softly.
"Thank God." I muttered.
"What was that?" She asked.
"Oh nothing. I was just muttering about your tiny voice."
"You're sick." She threw a pillow at me.
"Gist me jare." I said.
My phone rang that instant. Kara was calling.
"Hello"
"Hey girl,I've arrived Abuja. Pete just came to pick me up."
"Oh thank God. Remind me who's Uncle Pete again."
"Mille,I told you Pete is my cousin. The son of dad's sister. He should be about the same age as Jathniel."
"Oh I see. Does he know?"
"Yeah. I told him."
"Alright then. Have a swell time OK?"
"Sure baby. Love you."
"Love you too Kara." I hung up.
"Kara has arrived. Gloria?" I tapped her but she was fast asleep. I was still yet to understand how Gloria could sleep under ten seconds and so deeply.
I lay down to sleep. I heard my phone ring but I was already on a blissful journey.
The next morning,I woke up early to clean the house a bit before my little weekend getaway. Thereafter,I left for school with Gloria. Lectures always ended early on Fridays so we set out to Gloria's house.
When we got there,I almost gave Gloria the slap of the century when I heard Niel's deep laughter from inside the house.
"Gloria!"
"I'm not hearing you Mille." She opened the door. "Hey Niel." She jumped on him.
"Hello mum."
"Calling me Niel doesn't fit you. It's only for Mille."
"Well,good. Tell her that. She's right outside." I heard her say.
"Damn it." I cursed and opened the door
"Hello everyone."
"Mille,come here. You haven't been looking for me baby." Niel's mum said.
I hugged her.
"How are you baby?" She asked.
"I'm OK ma."
"Aww baby,I've missed you."
"I've missed you more." I gave her a peck.
"Niel has something to tell you baby."
"Mother!" Niel exclaimed.

Re: Hidden Diamonds by EvaJael(f): 6:32pm On Jun 03, 2017
Jathniel

Mum gave me the look that always sent shivers down my spine. My mother was one of the most powerful women I've come across.
"Gloria,let's go prepare food."
"OK mum. Hunger is already knocking at the door of my belly."
Jamille sat across me with legs crossed and her eyes fixed on the tiles as if she was seeing it for the first time. Her toes were curled and I knew immediately she was nervous. She only curled her toes when nervous.
"Mille." I called out to her.
"I'm right before you."
"The thing is..." i paused.
"Jathniel say whatever you want to say. I need to help your mum in the kitchen."
"I don't want you as my best friend anymore. I'm..."
Her phone rang. She picked it out from her bag. When she checked who was calling,I could swear she froze on her seat.
"Hello mum." She sat quiet for a while. Apparently,her mum was giving a long sermon.
"I'm sorry mum. I knew all along." She stood up and headed outside. She probably didn't want me to listen to their conversation.

Jamille

"What did you just say Mille?" Mum yelled over the phone.
"I was the first one she told. Believe me,I tried to tell her to let you know but she refused. That night she told you about the fashion stuff was the night I asked her to tell you. Didn't you notice I didn't say a word that night?"
"I trusted you more than this Mille."
"Mum,there was nothing I could do. I can't go announcing it for her. It's her child not mine. That would have been totally unfair to her."
"Mille,this isn't about fairness. Now,she's run off to Abuja. Who will take care of her? It's her first pregnancy."
"She just wanted to save you the embarrassment mum. She did it for you and somewhat for herself."
"So that's why you refused to sleep over last night huh?"
"Something like that mum."
"I've just spoken with Rachel. I would have told you to come home but I know you'll just come up with a story this instant. I'm worse than mad at Kara as I speak with you and this must never be heard of in my house again. Do you get it?"
"Yes mum."
"I didn't care this much for you all to just watch some humans get y'all pregnant outside of wedlock. I don't breed baby mamas or whatever you call it."
"I'm sorry mum. It was just a mistake mum. Kara would never have chosen to carry a child outside wedlock."
"I know it was a mistake. It's always a mistake." She was crying.
"Mum?"
"Little mistakes like this can cost a lot. I know what I'm saying. Don't get me wrong,I wish her all the best as her mother. It's just that I never thought that this would happen around me again."
"Again?"
"Never mind Mille. Enjoy the rest of the day."
"You too mum." I hung up and walked back inside the house.
Niel was seated at the exact spot I left him but this time,he was laughing really hard over the phone. I went into the room to drop my bag. I was about heading to the kitchen when I changed my mind. Niel's mum would probably chew me alive. I went back to the living room. He was done with his call already.
"Niel, were we done with our discussion?".
"No Mille. Truth is I wanted to wait till your eighteenth birthday to tell you."
"Oh! To tell me that you no longer want me as your best friend."
"Yes."
"Isn't that a cruel thing to tell a young girl on her birthday?"
He laughed. "Let me finish Mille. I want you to play a role that's larger than being my best friend. Do you get my point?"
"Niel what are you saying?" I was a bit sober than before.
"You know what I'm saying Mille. I don't want any answer yet till your birthday next year. I'll be patient till then. If you have an answer before then,I'll be happy to hear it. OK?"
I nodded.
"My uncle Don knows about it. He asked me to tell you to come see him when I finally let the cat out of the bag. I want everything right from step one."
"Alright. I'll go see him tomorrow." My eyes were still on the floor."
"Good. I guess we're done."
"Niel?"
"Yes."
"Why have you been ignoring my calls? You've refused to speak with me or even see me for a while now."
"I'm awful sorry about it. I needed answers to some questions before taking the step I just took."
"What questions?"
"Pray for your birthday to come quickly Mille." He left me in the living room.
I pinched myself to be sure I wasn't dreaming. I couldn't believe Niel actually said those words to me.
