Thank you shaky....have a nice day too

Daddy you didn’t tell me you will be coming today?
Yes dear,I wanted to suprise you but something came up.
She took his briefcase from him before asking what came up.
It was Tare,he needed my help.
What? Don’t tell me you bailed that thief out?
calm down magie,I did the right thing. You and I know you are playing pranks all because you want him to get married to Joanne.
Is anything wrong with that? I want the best for my son not some gold digger’
You should be happy his changing from his bad ways,not trying to hurt his feelings. Stop rushing things,his still young and has a long way to go.
And so? I really don’t like what you did.Now I look like a fool.
Tano gave a short laugh,before looking at his wife.
By the way dear you look beautiful’.Am tired and off to my room.
Maggie sighed in frustration,What sort of man is this?She knew something was up but couldn’t place her fingers on it.She hadn’t seen her husband smile in years not to talk of laugh.What was making him happy? she wouldn’t say a lady because he had never cheated on her.Even though they rarely spend time together,his been the
ever faithful husband.
Her mind drifted back to our they met…
Flasback
You are living my son’s house today.
Mother please,just give me time..God never dissapoint those who trust in him.
You say trust? you are barren mageret.After destroying your wombs with several abortion you want my son to suffer the consequences with you.
Mother please don’t do this to me.
Don’t you dare,I am not your mother.And you cease to be my daughter imlaw today.
She threw her belongings out that cold night’
Don’t ever show yourself here again,your marriage to my son is over.
After lodging in an hotel,she decided to visit a nearby bar and forget her provlems.
There she met him,drinking.She took a seat beside him and ordered for her own drink.
After watching him for sometimes,she discovered he was crying’.Maggie thought it was rare for a man to cry so she took the courage to start a conversation forgetting her own problems.
Why do you care?
Am just concerned mr man,why are you crying? I have a bigger problem but still keep my feelings locked up.
Tano felt she was bold,only few ladies could ask a crying man questions.
My girlfriend was taken from me because am poor’
is that it? that’s a little bit childish you know. if it concerns you why am here alone.
I was thrown out by mother inlaw because am barren.
And who cares? was his response before he slumped on the chair.
She discovered he was heavily drunk,and hadn’t even paid for his drink.
She paid for his drink before taking him to the hotel she lodged with the help of the cab man
though she was charged heavily.
Their friendship grew beyond their own expectation,he was a good listener.
Few months after their meeting he met a friend of his who gave him a huge amount of money to start bussiness which brought so much profit. They did a courth wedding and left yenagoa to forget their past.
She wiped the tears that fell when she remembered the day she met her son.
Because of her predicament she turned to a regular visitor at the children’s playground. Watching them play and praying for her own breakthrough.
That particular day was children’s day which made the park crowded.she sat at one corner admiring the children,before the explosion. It came as a shock,no one had expected it.
While running away from the place,she saw a little boy crying in the midst of the crowd,no one seem to look at him.She picked the toddler and ran away’
She had planned to look for the owners of the baby when everywhere get calm but as days turned into weeks she felt so connected to the child and decided to keep him’
Fortunately her husband had gone for his first contract abroad,so she was left alone with little Ri’.Knowing he would force her to return the child to the owners she lied she adopted him.
Tano was excited about having a child and didn’t bother to find out about the adoption. He gave him “Tare”.The name he had planned with his lover Edna to name their first child.
She started having reasons to live when she had Richard’
*************
Tano smiled happily when he recalled the events of the day.He was getting close to seeing his Edna again,Tare had told him all he needed to know about her parents and had promised to take him to were they lived the next day as he insisted. He never for once thought she could be so close.He just couldn’t wait to get a glimpse of her again.He couldn’t wait for tomorrow….
***********
Everywhere is a mess,I can’t let you sleep here tonight let go to my place.
Don’t worry,I will do some cleaning.
Come on Tee,it’s been a long day and you are tired. I will get someone to do it for you.
Why are you doing all this Richard?
Do you really wanna know?
sure.That’s why am asking.
It’s because I love you. I know you wouldn’t take this serous but I really do,I never thought I could fall inlove but ever since the day I almost ran into you on the road,I couldn’t get you out of my mind..and am asking for a chance to prove my feelings for you....I might not be the best but I will try... he said making her heart beat faster

But

cuts her short

But I am flirt right? yeah I am but I will be willing to give that away if you consider me worthy to date you.
Tare was short of words.Was he willing to do all this for her?
Please say something,anything atall Tee…
Richard...I wish I could but I don't know what to say.
It’s okay,I understand.But it wouldn’t stop me from proving to you am a changed person.I will do anything to win your love.
Shall we? she said trying to change the topic.
Yeah,let’s get going it getting late already,you need to rest you have a date with my old man tomorrow.
Come of it Rich,am just taking him to my parents.Not a date.
Can I tag along?
If it’s okay with your dad.
Sure it will.so that means I’ll be seeing your mum again.
Maybe she will punish you for capturing her daughter’s heart this time around.
What do you mean?
Nothing’
I heard that right’…I mean that part of capturing her daughter’s heart,does it mean you are falling for me?
Don’t get your hopes up, it a no.let’s get going.
She took the lead feeling embarrassed of what she had said while he walked behind her.

Am sorry guys if I kept you waiting. ...let me give you your good morning update...

lolzzzz...b.day isn't honeymoon na...I'v been busy but am definitely gonna update today...heart you'll

Thank you all so much. ...I super appreciate

thanks alot dearie....

Tare didn’t need a soothsayer to tell her Richard’s mum hated her.she felt really bad about the way she had been treated which made her restless.
The door flew open and Magie walked in
She of more of confuse than suprise,her eyes met Richard’s who turned away immediately. She knew all was not well at all.
You cheap theif,how dare you? The next thing Tare heard was a resounding slap on her face which kept her mute for 3seconds.
Richard pulled her away from his mother with anger burning through his eyes.
what was it with this women and her face?Her mother had slapped her calling her a flirt and now Richard’s.
Mum what’s the meaning of this embarrassment?
She’s a thief Richard,stop fooling yourself around.
Just then four policemen walked in.
That’s the thief,she pointed at Tare.
I don’t know what you are talking about,I didn’t steal anything. Tears had started streaming down her eyes.
Should we search around ma’am? the skinny looking policeman who seemed to have done 100days fasting and prayer asked’
And what are you waiting for? useless man.
Are you still standing,he said to his men who started searching the apartment immediately.
Is this your’s ma’am?
yes it’s mine.I told you Richard she’s upto no good.
Richard I don’t know anything about this please believe me. Tare pleaded.
shut up you criminal,you’v been cut redhanded but still maintain you didn’t take it? then how was it found in your handbag? the skinny policeman shouted.
Richard just kept mute.
Move it,he shouted at her,after handcuffing her
************
She had cried till the extent she couldn’t open her eyes properly.Why did Richards mum despise her so much? she was poor but was raised well. who would believe her? no guy would believe a girl over his mother! Oh Richard,she had lost him forever.
The most frightening thought was how she would get out of the cell,the place stinks she could barely breath with her inmates smoking.
Someone wants to see you the potbellied policeman said not to anyone in particular.
Me? Tare asked hoping she was the one.
Yes you. I wonder wetin that fine bobo see for thief like you.
She had thought Richard would never come for her,but there he was staring at her.
Please seat.He gestured to her .She sat facing him not sure of her fate.
Did you take it?
I swear Rich,I don’t have anything to do with it. I was surprised to see him find it in my handbag.I took that handbag to your place but I didn’t take it.
It’s okay Tee,I believe you.It just mother that’s proving stubborn,she had threatened to make me regret if I bail you out or have anything to do with you.
Hmmm.
It’s your safety am worried about,I can’t bear it if anything happens to you.
You don’t have to worry Rich,nothing will happen to me.
How can you say that? you have no idea of what you mean to me.I love you very much Tee.I can’t bear to see you hurt.

Richard couldn't believe he had said that. .now he understood what his high school friend meant by flings could fall in love'

On a normal day,Tare would have jumped on him for that statement. But not in the predicament she found herself. She held his hands in her’s
Nothing will happen to me Rich.
He stood up and pulled her into his arms.
I promise to get you out
Tare smiled as tears fell from her eyes’
***********
Immediately he left the station,he thought of his mother’s weakpoint.And he remembered his dad,the only one that could break her backbone
His tucked his hand into his pocket as he dailed his father’s number.
Hello dad,I need your help.
Son what’s the matter?
It’s mum she. .
Cuts him short.
Am at the airport,come and pick me up so we can talk about whatever it is.
I’ll be there in few minutes.
*******
Richard couldn’t fathom why his father smiled at his ordeal.
He had expected an an angry man scolding him for getting involved with a girl.
But he saw a smiling man instead.
His son reminded him of his love”Edna”, the girl he could do anything for then.Only a blind man wouldn’t see the love in Richards eyes. He was happy his son was inlove,she must be the reason for his change.There hadn’t been any bad report on Richard from his spy’s of recent.He was eager to meet the girl behind the turn around.
*******
Tare ran into his hands the moment she heard she was free to go.She never expected Richard to come back for her that quick.She clinged unto him like a second skin not minding the stares they got from people around or the fact they were hugging for the second time today.
He he he Tano cleared his throat when he had gotten tired of watching the little display by the two young lovers.
They disengaged immediately.
Edna’
sir,you know my mother?
you are a replica of your mother.
No doubt they looked alike. Even her mother always told her she looked like her younger version.
yes,she’s my long lost friend.
He pulled Tare into his arms as a fat tear dropped from his eyes’.

Thanking you all for your comments. .am inspired big time.


Dedicated to Blair.....though it still has some few minutes to go...Happy birthday to me.



Chell you don’t have to feel embarrassed at all,believe me I understand how you feel. Godfrey told Mitchell who had been crying since they left the psychiatric hospital.
You don’t frey, I don’t think mother will regain her self again
Please don’t say that, all she need is time.
Time? for how long,I lost my caring and loving mother 16years ago.Don’t I deserve to be happy at least.Am tired of seeing her that way,would she….ev..
Godfrey drew her into his arms before she completed her statement.
Shh…don’t cry,am hear for you okay? and I will never leave you again.
promise?
I promise.
She placed her head on his chest,both lovers feeling the rhythm of their heartbeats
*********
I dare you to feed me.
Richard said calmly.
What?? Tare asked alarmed.
Rich you can’t be serous
Come on Tee,this is a game no rule breaking.
Richard….you can’t be serous,you know I can’t do that.
And why won’t you? he smiled showing his sparkling teeth.
Tare felt embarrassed,if only she knew the game would have gotten to this extent she wouldn’t have played’
Richard had woken up feeling much better,all thanks to Tare who spent all night taking care of him.They had prepared breakfast together and were currently eating before Richard brought the crazy idea of playing truth and dare’ They had asked themselves random questions before Richard dared her to feed him.
Come on,am still waiting
Fine! just one spoon.she
filled the spoon to the brim and fed him.
One more please.Richard said teasingly
You’r arent serous,it now my turn.
okay go ahead’Richard said with his tongues out which made Tare frown lightly.
Why do you womanize?
Richard jaw dropped and Tare regretted why she had asked the question.
Am sorry,I should have respected your personal life ‘
It okay Tee,I..
Richards statement was cut short by the fair skinned lady who hugged him from behind.
Baby,why didn’t you tell me you’re sick? she placed her hands on his neck trying to feel his temperature.
Mum,you worry too much.Who told you I was sick?
Tare felt relieved at the utterance of ‘mum’ from Richard.
She looked to young to be his mother,though in her forties.Her still was still glowing,she smelt ‘wealth’.
Tare greated the elegant looking woman but got no response. She brought an extra plate and dished out some food for her.
Mum meet my very good friend and namesake ‘Tare’
Maggie just waved her off.
Please excuse us young lady i want to talk to my son alone’
Tare felt bad,but Richard’s pleading eyes melted her.
Who is she? she asked immediately Tare left.
Mum she’s my friend. she is very nice,you will get to love her when you know her.
Come on son,that lady isn’t the kind of girl I want for you.
Mum,please don’t judge her by her appearance.
Fine,who is her father? what position does he hold in this country?
Mum what does that have to do with you?
I want to know? Look son am not angry if you flirt around at all,as long as you will marry Joanne the daughter of your father’s billionaire friend.But that cheap thing you call a friend is nothing but a golddigger’
Richard stood up angrily in an attempt to walk away from her.
You dare not move Richard,am still talking here.
Mum I won’t let you dictate my life.
She shaked her head angrily,what has gotten into Richard? she saw the look in his eyes.Only a blind man wouldn’t see they are filled with love’
Richard would never be friend her.Never.
She moved closer to him and smiled mishevously’placing her hand on his shoulder.She apologised.
Am sorry son, I shouldn’t have said that.
Mum,you know I hate it when we have a misunderstanding.
Am I forgiven? she asked innocently like a child.
yes but please don’t say such again.
Fine.
They moved over to the sofa and sat down disscusing how they’ve have missed themselves.
Don’t worry mum, my exams are approaching.we can take a vacation to paris just both of us.
Nice idea son,I hope you won’t bäck out thisnnmnnn time?Remember the last time you said am becoming old and boring to travel out with’
Richard almost laughed his ribs out.
You are my ever young mother,I will go anywhere with you.
She smiled happily before raising the alarm
I can’t find my purse’
What did you mean mother? it just the two of us here’
Richard I can’t find my purse and I mean it.
Mum,let’s look for it.He said and began searching.
did you find anything?
no mum,maybe you left it in the car.let me go and check.
2minutes later he came back without finding anything.
I couldn’t find it mum,maybe you left it at home.
No,I brought it here.That girl must have taken it.I knew she was upto no good’
mother! Tare would never do that.
Why are you so blinded by stupidity? I know a thief when I see one.Take me to where she lives.
No mother,I won’t do that.
You dare not disobey me.
But mum,why do you hate her for no reason,just let her be please.she’s no thief.
Am waiting Richard,it either you take me to where she lives or you choose between us.
Richard followed her quietly with confusion written all over his face.

I will worthing. ....birthday update loading

please guys pardon me oo...I will reply all your comments tomorrow...biko...

Tare passed him like she had seen a ghost,she exchanged number with Andrew before entering her apartment. Richard looked like someone who had catched a cold,he wasn’t wearing any jacket and there was cold outside’
Why was she bothered anyway,he was a womanizer and they could never happen’. She pushed away the painful thought as she prepared to go her aunt’s,it been a while she saw the jo’s.Besides she badly wanted to talk to someone.
******
Angella dropped the magazine she was holding and went for the door
‘Tare’ She gasped in excitement before spreading her hands for an embrace.
Have you missed dear,you know longer visit is there a problem?
No aunt it just school stress and have been busy’ she lied.She didn’t want to visit because they were too generous. They always make sure she lacked nothing whenever she was going back .she didn’t want to look like some charity project.
Oh dear I really understand.please get something to eat,you aren’t a visitor in this house.
I know aunt but am not hungry
Are you okay? I mean is anything bothering you?
Nothing aunt.
You know you can tell me anything at all.
She kept quiet for sometime.
Honey something is eating you up and I know it,common dear share’
Tare told her everything from the onset while she listened with rapt attention.
you are inlove with him,that’s the only thing that explains why you hurt so much.
I just don’t know what to do aunt she said with unshed tears in her eyes
Richard is human dear,we humans are likely to make mistake . Don’t forget his been womanizing even before you met him,so you can’t really blame him.Besides you aren’t his girlfriend so he doesn’t even owe you an explanation. But the other difference is the “kiss”,he might be harbouring some feelings for you. Don’t judge him for his flaws,help him get out of it. Besides you are a Christian,show him the light rather than condemn him.
She pulled Tare who had started crying to her arms.
Shhh,it’s okay honey.You don’t have to cry,love can happen to anybody. It isn’t a crime to fall in love but don’t forget you are here to study that should be your priority not “handsome Richard”
Tare managed to give a smile.
Give him time he will change and whenever he ask you out,don’t think of his negative side and push him away’.Think of those things that make you wanna be with him.
Thanks aunt,she said wiping her tears.
Are you sure you don’t wanna eat anything,I prepared your favourite.
Am off to the kitchen she said and winked at Angela.
*******
After talking to Angella she felt lighter,she realised it wasn’t only Richards fault.She never gave him chances to explain himself. she took a deep breath before pressing the doorbell but there was no answer. After waiting for a few minutes she dailed his line but it wasn’t answered either. She pushed the door,luckly it wasn’t locked.
She could hear his phone ring but there was no answer,after searching all over the house,she did the only option left which was checking his room.
There she saw him shivering’
her clutch fell from her hand,she knelt down by his bedside to feel his temperature.
Oh my God’ Richard can you hear me?
She pulled the blanket over his body.She felt guilty,it was all her fault he went over her house too early to apologise and end up catching a cold’.just then her eyes fell on her portrait on the wall,she never knew Richard drew her and it was beautiful’
Maybe she meant something to him afterall’. she smiled at that thought.
She left in an hurry to get him drugs.
************
Mummy I thought you said there will be no more of this in this house. preye complained pointing to the watery soup.
Preye mind the things you say to me.
But am only saying the truth.Beside what of our inlaws? are theý not giving you money again?
it’s your foolish sister, I don’t know what she did this time around mr Thompson changed his mind
Hmmm, am just tired of this kind of life mummy. imagine all my classmates have phones except me,everyone get to have two to three pairs of uniform but I have just one torn pair.Am tired of other kids making mockery of me.
preye I didn’t choice this kind of life either. stop running your mouth anyhow,should I cut my fingers and sell for you to live in luxury? why are you so different from your other siblings? just stop disturbing my life
But mum…i..
Don’t but me,am tired of your complaints.
**************
Mitchell smiled happily seeing her mother in this mood.She had come with Godfrey to check up on her
Mitchell is that Ray?
No mum,I told you Ray is gone.This is Godfrey.
No,this is Ray..Ray my son.She stood immediately and advanced towards him..

Tare couldn’t understand what the gateman meant by’my oga no wan see you now’.
How can he possibly say that when he hadn’t left her presence.
Don’t worry,he isn’t going to get mad seeing me now,I know it late though but he understands’
No abeg,just commot I know my oga pass you.
She searched her handbag for her phone but unfortunately Richard’s number wasn’t reachable. she needed to act fast since the gateman wasn’t making any sense with what he was saying. Afterall God didn’t give her this portable body for nothing’.Before he could blink his eyes she had pushed through and ran off.
Ahmed ran after her but she was faster.Out of frustration he sat on the floor weeping for his job’ he was sure of it,his Oga wouldn’t spare him for this not when he had been warned.
******
In no time she was upstairs,she was about to knock when she heard the noise from inside.
For some minutes she stood transfixed,no no no she shaked her head vigorously’
To confirm her fears she pushed the door open.
Tears streamed down her eyes,it wasn’t a good sight to behold.Richard must be enjoying himself since he didn’t even notice her presence’ the lady was moaning on top of her voice like a pregnant woman whose baby was finding it difficult to come out.
She found herself screaming Richard’
Shocked to the bone,he ran after her after wearing his boxers

Tare please,let me explain’
How dare you, what do you have to explain? oh my God I was such a fool.
she continued runing as fast as she could.
She could still hear Richard’s voice
please let me take you home it late already’
Tare I know I’v offended you big time but please it too risky for you to go by yourself.
All she wanted was to get the hell of his
sight,Richard couldn’t follow her outside his compound since he was just on a boxer’.He ran back upstairs to dress up but Tare was gone when he came down.
*********
The man had been kind enough not to ask questions.This was the weirdest thing she had ever done,or maybe not.Accepting a man’s ride without thinking. All she wanted was to be miles away from Richard’ he brought nothing but pain to her world.Gone are the days she hardy cried,he had turn her to a vegetable’.She cries for everything little thing.
We are here’
surprisingly she hadn’t even notice when he pulled up in front of a house,lost in her thoughts.
Am sorry miss,I brought you here since you never mentioned where I should stop.
You should have asked me,she said.Her voice a little bit shaky.
Am sorry,you can spend the night here.My mum wouldn’t mind.
okay’
Anything was better than been close to Richard.
She knew he would go for her not minding the time to sort things out.
The unknown guy led her to a room where she assumed to be the guestroom.
Please let me know if you need anything. He said and closed the door.
Happy she had been left alone to drown in her thoughts.
I made a mistake by falling for you Richard. I would have taken her advice,guys like you only had flings.
How could she have thought the kiss meant something to him! she had been stupid enough to think he also felt the beautiful feeling of that moment. More tears streamed down her eyes as realisation hit her
Richard had used her’ she cried uncontrollably at the thought of that.
******
Good morning my daughter
how was your night?
it wasn’t bad ma’am.
Please have breakfast with us,we would be glad to have you here.
Tare noded in acceptance,she had woken up and had come out only to find mother and son setting the table for breakfast.
They must be really close she thought.
The breakfast was delicious,she wasn’t only beautiful but a good cook too.Mrs Theresa as she later found out was a widow.They were the middle class family,who were contented with what they had.
All through the breakfast she asked questions meant for people in a relationship. There was no doubt she had fallen in love with Tare and was doing a matchmaking for her with her son’
welcome to the family she said when Tare was set to leave.
Let me take you home Andrew offered.
**********
Richard mouth flew open the moment he saw her coming with another man.How could she? he had come to explain things to her the previous night but she wasn’t around. He blamed himself continously all through the night and found no sleep. He had been waiting for her as early as 6.am.Only for her to pay him back.
jelousy ran through his veins,he wanted badly to
pick up a fight with the man.But that will only make him loose her

Tee am sorry,whatever she said was just her crazy thought. I value our friendship,you aren’t just any girl to me.You are different Tee.please let me back into your life,have missed your friendship..
I didn’t remember inviting you in?
Tee plea..
spare it Richard,just..
Tare was cut short. Richard lips were already in hers.She didn’t want the moment to end,he wrapped his hands around her waist and she wrapped her’s around his kneck. She heard that tiny voice warning her to stop.
‘it’s all over school,the guy is a womanizer.Your’e probably one of his prey.’
She tried to keep her ears shut from her mind.She had wished for a moment like this for so long and now just when her wishes were coming through her mind was fighting her off Richard.
“He doesn’t fall inlove,you are just fun to him.He will dump you like he did to me”
Mitchell’s words rang in her ears,she pushed him away.
Just live me alone Richard,you are just looking for the next girl to lay I don’t wanna be a victim.
Those words hit Richard like a bomb,he was a womanizer but he cared for her.He couldn’t call what he felt for her as love,but he always wanted to be with her.
He walked away quietly’
******
What’s up with you man?is she the only girl in the world?
Let me be sam.He said counting his every word’
for crying out loud don’t tell me you came to this club to bore around.
What part of let me be don’t you understand?
how things change,thesame Richard that bragged about laying any lady without feeling a thin for them,what’s it this one? she isn’t even as preety as your numerous flings.
Get me a girl’
Now you are talking,I will be right back.
Maybe sam was right,he needed to forget her.
Sam reappeared with a fair slim girl,she looked no different from a model.
She had started licking her lips.jeez the guy was handsome,she wouldn’t mind doing it free for him.
Do you want it here mr?
No let’s go home.
That excited her,it was rare to see guys who took them home.She would make good use of this opportunity by stealing a thing or two! he looked wealthy.
Tare searched through her clothes for a suitable cloth,she had made a mistake by chasing him out.she had chased him out of her house not heart.She wanted to see him again not considering the time of the night.
She settled for her favourite dress and headed for Richard’s.

Richard gazed at the pot bellied man already trembling in fright in front of him.
I will sir,I promise to withdraw this very minute.Infact I don’t have intrest in her,I just wanted a fresh blood. since her mother told me she’s a virgin.please don’t take my job from me,I won’t have anything to do with them again.
I will keep your job,but any complain from her I will make your life a living hell.
He pushed the cheque towards the man and stood up.
This is for any expenses you must have done for her family,and this discussion never happened.
Mr Thompson took the cheque with trembling hands,it was worth more than what he had given to Edna.He vowed within himself never to contact her again.
Richard smiled in satisfaction it all went as planned. But all his smiles faded away when he remembered Her’.
*******
Tare pushed her food away,she wasn’t having the appetite to eat.She was supposed to be happy,her mother hadn’t come to drag her as promised. Neither had she called or texted,it was one week already.But instead she felt incomplete,why had Richard not call or beg?If only he could do that,she wouldn’t mind running into his arms.
7days seemed like eternity,she found herself thinking of him always.no doubt Richard Ayiba-emi had gotten a spot in her heart,but she wasn’t ready,even though her heart yearned for him.She rather be far from Richard,every step close to him is a step to getting hurt!
*****
Richard stood outside her door,he had been standing for some minutes.He just couldn’t take her off his mind and wanted to see her badly but was scared of her reactions. She had pushed him out of her house the last time,he wasn’t ready for such treatment again.
The door flew opened and their eyes locked for what seemed like eternity.
Tare was dressed in a black turtleneck gown that stopped on her knee. Her dark hair falling on her back,she was obviously dressed for outing.
Richard felt like hugging her,seeing her preety oval face made him realised just how much he had missed her.
Richard’
She found herself saying,she wanted to run her hands over his dark curly hair.She had thought he had given up on her,too excited to see him that she felt hungry at once.

Mitchell threw her clutch to her bed,her heels and phone went the same way.Vanessa who had been engrossed making up became alarm.Chel only behaved and that way whenever she was angry.
What’s with you girlfriend?
I don’t know how I feel,maybe terrible.
What happened “V” asked concerned
Why do you care? so you can go and seduce Richard into sleeping with you.
Chell that wasn’t what I meant,am only been concerned about you.
Concerned’ Is that a what you call it? wow interesting. I guess that was how concerned you were when you slept with Godfrey.
Chell’
what? or am I lieng?it’s true na,you had him to your fill.
Vanessa stood up with unshed tears in her eyes to open the door. Standing before her was the guy that had slept with her weeks ago without even an apology. He never called or texted.
“Godfrey”
Hi V’ is mitch in?
Yeah come in.
She left the house almost immediately knowing fully well she wasn’t needed and to avoid Mitch ranting.
Godfrey went on his knees the moment he stepped in.
Mitch am sorry,it was just a moment weakeness.she doesn’t mean anything to me,you are the one that matter.I can’t live without you,believe me the last few months of my life have been completely meaningless. I want you back please Mitch.
Why did you have to hurt me,you knew how much I loved you and you happily used my weaknesses against me,dumped me for some months like some trash and come back to pick me whenever you want.
Mitch I hurt you but you aren’t trash,you are the best thing that had ever happened to me.Baby please come back to me I beg of you.
just live please.
Godfrey stood up and went over to where Chell sat on the bed.Within a twinkle of eye they were eating up each other’s lip.
Have missed you so much, Godfrey breathed out in between the kiss.
Have missed you more.Soon they were both unclad but it seemed they couldn’t just get enough of each other.
Vanessa felt useless,all she wanted was to get drunk and forget the pain she was going through. How could he do this to her,not even an apology.He acted like nothing happened. She had wished and even fantasized him asking her out.A thought of those imaginations brought tears streaming down her eyes.Who was she to fall inlove? a fat plump lady with designers pimples all over her face.
Why were things this bad for her? Chel had all it takes.The beauty and the wealth.And most expecially a guy madly inlove with her.Even if she had absentminded parents,she rather lived Chel’s life than hers’.

Sorry do I know you? Tare asked the beauty queen standing before her.
Am not here for you,get the hell out of my way.She pushed Tare who almost fell down and stood in front of Richard with her hands on her waist.
Are you stalking me chel?
you can call it whatever you want Richard,what did you take me for? Some sort of lady you treat like trash? for 2weeks you have ignored my calls and messages. And do you know what hurt me more,the fact that you asked your gateman to never let me in.What do you want? is it money? s-x? name it am ready to give you but don’t treat me like this.
Mitchell let’s talk outside he told her calmly.
Why not here? Because you don’t want your bedwarmer to hear right she said pointing at Tare.
This is the last time you call her names Mitchell he said with rage.
And what will you do if I call her names? what do you see in her? she isn’t even as preaty as I am.The earlier you know the better for you,this piece of trash you have as a bedwarmer is nothing but a gold digger.
Richard lost it and slapped her.
You slapped me? she held her already reddened chick in her hands as tears streamed down her eyes.
Yes I slapped you and I will add more if you don’t get the hell out of here.
Richh..ard..she stammered.
Get out chel,have tolerated enough of your craziness and we are over.
No..no.n..Richard you can’t do this to me .she
held his arm.
Richard shrugged off from her grip.
Knowing well she had lost the battle she turned to Tare and said
Watch out,he will dump you just like he did to me.He never fall in love,you are nothing more than fun to him.
With that she opened the door and left.
Tare am sorry for this
Just when I started trusting you,you brought your girlfriend to insult me.please get out.
Tare please hear me out
Get out Richard,I don’t ever want to see you again.
Richard left knowing fully well she won’t listen to him.
She felt the urge to call him back embrace him telling him she knew she wasn’t just fun to him..but went to her bed and cried her eyes out.

very much welcome Janevivian

Thanks dr

Richard watched Tare cry in his arms, he didn’t want to leave her in that state. He wanted to be a shoulder to lean on.
Tare gave Richard the key to her apartment when he asked,she wasn’t in her right senses to argue,all she needed now was someone to cry her heart to.
Tell me everything please,I promise it going to be between you and I. Richard said when they had gotten to her room.
Have you ever regretted been born? or should I say been born to a poor family? have never cared about the life I lived,I never cared about the food I ate,or even the kind of clothes I wore before I met aunt Angela. All have ever wanted was to study hard and make my own money when the time comes.But what I can’t take is been insulted and called names by my own mother because she wants me to get married to a man as old as my dad.
She sniffed,and cleaned the tears streaming down her eyes with the back of her palm.
Richard stood up from where he sat and enveloped her in his arms.
It’s okay Tee,everything is going to be fine I promise.
His words only made her sob louder,they remained that way till she slept off.Richard checked his time and it was already midnight. He couldn’t live that night,it was too risky.After few minutes of thinking on what to do,he placed Tare on her bed and covered her with her blanket. He had no choice than to sleep on the plastic chair.
Tare woke up earlier than expected,she had forgotten all about the event of the previous night till she saw him on the chair.
Rich wake up,she tapped him gently.
Richard yawned weakily.His neck hurt,he twisted it back and front before looking at Tare.
How are you feeling Tee?
Am better now.She gave him a weak smile.
Am sure your neck hurt,am sorry I put you through this stress.
Am not complaining and please don’t think about it too much.Am here for you anytime.
Thank you so much Rich.
Are you cooking? he asked Tare who wore an apron over her gown.
yes,I’ll be done in a bit.we will eat breakfast together.
can you cook?he teased
Rich did I…she was cut short by the knocking on the door.
A minute,she said to Richard and went for the door.

come on Tee,it late I can’t let you go by yourself.
You don’t have to worry,I’ll find my way.
no,I insist am taking you home.
He took her hand in his and went over to the garage. Tare tried as much as possible to ignore the butterflies in her stomach.Richard’s palms her warm and soft and somehow she felt secured in them.He opened the door for her and went over to the drivers seat.He turned on the music and put the car to a start.
You know you have an horrible voice right?
Richard gave a short laugh.
One mustn’t be good at everything Tee.
True but can you just keep quiet,I love this song but you are making me hate it with your voice.
Ha ha,okay I will only if you sing along.
I won’t do that
Then I’ll keep singing.
fine you can go ahead.
He reduced the volume of the music before stealing a glance at her.
So about that day I almost hit you am sorry again.
It past already.
But is that why you hate me?
I don’t hate you.What makes you think I do?
Remember you always snubbed me,I kinda felt bad and liked it too.
I didn’t hate you rich,I only don’t associate with people. And you said you liked it?
Story for another day.But why don’t you like associating with people?
Story for another day she said mimicking his words.
Richard killed the engine when he had gotten to Tare’s gate.
Thank you Rich,am greatfull.
I should be thanking you instead.He came down and opened the door for her.
Where are you going? Tare was forced to ask when she saw him leading the way.
I have to make sure you get to your room first, if anything should happen to you I will be held responsible.
you don’t have to,besides nothing is happening to me.
I insist Tee.
Tare followed him slowly.
Who could that be she asked a little bit frightened seeing a figure seating at her doorstep.
Don’t be scared,let’s find out.
He took her hand in his as they moved further.
“Mum” What are you doing here?
Are you suprised,is it because of this small boy you refused to marry Thompson.
She removed her hand from Richards
Mum…I…
she was cut short by a slap.For some minutes she was dumbfounded.
You are such a flirt,how dare you Tare? so you’v been sleeping around ehn? afterall the preaching and method of upbringing you had.
Mumm..she couldn’t complete her sentence as tears streamed down her eyes.
you useless thing,am going to show you I carried you for nine months.
She pulled her by the ear and started raining insults on her.
Richard couldn’t take it anymore,he started pleading with Edna.
you better start leaving you son of an animal,at 8pm my daughter is coming from outside and you expect me to keep quiet.How dare you?
Mummy please let me explain.
you have nothing to explain,am giving you three days.Your traditional wedding is on Saturday it either you come to keffi yourself or I will come and drag you from here.
She said and left in annoyance.
Tare went into Richard’s waiting arms as she sobbed loudly.

*Love isn’t all about saying but acting*
Tare glanced at the card just to be sure she wasn’t dreaming.After placing the card in her handbag the previous day she hadn’t even checked it until now that the cab she took had stopped in front of a huge building.
she asked the driver just to be sure she was at the right place.
When he nodded affirmative she was more than suprise.
How can a student afford such a place? his he into drugs or probably born with a silver spoon?
What? the driver asked when he noticed she was talking.
Sorry,I was talking to myself.
She paid for the ride and came down still not sure she was at the right place.
***********
Hey,I thought you weren’t going to come.
I…I..I was caught in the traffic she stammered.
Tare played with her fingers trying to avoid any eye contact with him.Richard was wearing only a boxer and towel wrapped around his shoulders. It was obvious he just showered.
Thanks alot for coming,please come in.
He opened the door wider for her to enter.
Make yourself comfortable please,I will be right back.
Tare only noded lost of words to say,she couldn’t believe she was becoming suddenly shy.She sat on the red sofa as her eyes roamed all over the well furnished living room.
They had something in common,”painting”.Though she wasn’t good at it but she loved art.Anything that appreciates nature entices her.
This guy must be a lover of art,his living room had numerous paintings,was he buying them? he had so much money to throw.As much as she loved art she couldn’t waste so much money in buying them,people needed such money expecially children in the orphanage!.
What should I offer you?
Richard said breaking her thoughts.
He had changed into a sweatshirt and knickerbocker.
Nothing.
Come on,take something anything at all will make me happy.
Nothing please,can we start.Where do you really need my help?
Richard walked over to the mini bar and got her a bottle of water and a glass in the other hand.
It’s water,I didn’t put anything inside.
Tare smiled and took the bottle from him.
Thanks.
Am Richard,what your name?
Tare.
I didn’t get you? did you say Tare?
Yeah, my name is Tare.
So you are my namesake?wow this is amazing.
Hu? I thought you said you are Richard.
yeah..he explained the fact he didn’t like his name to her.
Serously,I love my name. You are missing out Richard.
Am not it sounds girlish you know but it fits you perfectly.
Tare blushed at the sound of that.
You must be a lover of art she said as her eyes fell on the painting that caught her attention most.
Yeah,I wanted to study fine art but my dad won’t hear of it.
Really but why?
Because he wants me to continue his business as the only heir.
That’s great,am sorry about that.
It’s okay,that why I need your help because it causing a rift between I and my dad.
Am sorry about that,but don’t you think you are wasting too much money on this?she pointed at the paintings on the wall.
money? what money. oohh I drew them myself.
What? wow you are so talented.
Thanks Tee.
Tee? she asked blushing.
Yeah,am gonna call you that.
wow..hmm that okay so let get started please.
okay sure.

How did you find me?
That’s not a problem at all,you know people like you are never rare.wait a minute is this where you leave?
Yeah. .I..I..she stammered.
It okay, this place looks terrible vanessa,you can come and live with me again.
Do you mean it?have you forgiven me?
For now let’s don’t talk about that.Just come back today.
Vanessa smiled in between tears.The last two weeks had been hell for her.She had managed to rent a flat in the outskirt of jos,currently she needed money. she was d--n broke and had returned to her type of dressing since all her expensive clothes had been sold off to buy some necessities. It was a miracle seeing Mitchell in her house,the same person that had ignored her for 2weeks like she didn’t exist anymore.
Just as she had expected everywhere stinked,she couldn’t count the maggots that welcomed her in the kitchen. The dishes hadn’t been washed for ages.That was just a tip of the mess,her mouth flew open when she saw the toilet and the untidy bedroom. Mitchell was such a spoilt brat.She needed no soothsayer to tell her Mitchell only wanted her cleaning services.
******
Tare watched him sadly as he packed his books inside his bagpack.This had been going on for 2weeks.For some reasons she didn’t believe it at first when he started ignoring her.Thesame guy that had been stalking her,how things change. She badly wanted to apologise but didn’t have the courage.
Want to tell me something?
That’s his voice,she couldn’t forget that voice even in her dreams. Was she dreaming? or he was right beside her.
Do you want to say something?he asked again
umm…am sorry she muttered gently.Her voice had betrayed her.
She had rehearsed the words to tell him but he was right beside her but it seemed she had lost her senses.
Richard smiled triumphantly,he had won. Ignoring her had actually made her apologise,seeing her watch him leave everyday,he knew she had something to say at least with the sorry look she always had on.
Did I hear you say something? please I didn’t hear you right,mind if you say it again.
I said am sorry.
Richard broke into a laugh.
What’s funny?
Nothing. So are we friends now?
Not at all,I only apologised because I hate been a snub.
please,I really need your help it would mean alot if you agree to tutor me.
Tare was lost of words or rather confused.But she didn’t know when she started nodding to his every word.
Is that a yes?
Richard didn’t wait for an answer before he squeezed his card in her palms.She mustn’t change her mind.
He left hurriedly but after saying.
Tomorrow 3pm at my house.

Mitchell emptied the glass of drink in her mouth.She had been drinking,ever since she left her house earlier.She felt betrayed and pained.
But why am I feeling this way? afterall I have Richard.Could it be am still inlove with Godfrey. ..no..that can’t happen. They say first love never dies,I guess that’s why I feel this way.
Mitchell wasn’t sure if she really wanted vannesa out of her house
The girl had betrayed her but for some reasons she couldn’t do without her.Who would do the cooking? cleaning and even her laundry. She was going to get her back and punish her in some other way.
******
Tare tried out the third outfit,she had planned to pay the mystery guy a visit and apologise. She wasn’t that kind of snub,she just didn’t want to get involved with people.Expecially someone like him,the guy was just too cute!
just when she was about turning the door knob,it beckoned on her she didn’t know his house,or even his name. She threw her clutch in anger regretting her snubby attitude

Thanks guys.....keep d comments coming

Mitchell locked her car as she headed for her flat,she was more than exhausted.Anyone could tell from her look,Spending the night with her mum wasn’t an easy one.She didn’t even get a little sleep,happy she was home again. All she wanted was a warm bath and sleep.
She had knocked twice with no reponse,she tucked her hands in her clutch to search for her keys.Vanessa could be a terrible one with sleep,she always slept like a log of wood and no amount of noise could wake her up.
No,this can’t be,what’s going on here,Mitchell screamed.
Am sorry Mitch,I….didn’t want this to happen
Godfrey said wearing his clothes.
Mitchell turned to Godfrey with tears in her eyes.
Get the hell out of my house.
Mitch,I swear I never wanted this to happen,please give me a listening hear
I don’t want to hear any of it,just go.Of all girls why didn’t you pick from outside? why my own best friend?.
Mitch I came here….She cuts him short.
I don’t need your explanation,it makes me sick please live before I do something I will regret .
Godfrey opened the door and left.
If looks could kill Vanessa would have died the moment Mitchell stared at her.
Why Vanessa? I gave you everything. Is this what I get for paying your bills,and treating you like blood? She shouted in rage.
Am sorry,chel am very sorry. I’d never wanted this to happen,please….she went on her knees
still unclad
Save your explanations,pack every belonging of yours and live my house.
Mitchell,please don’t do this to me.Think about all the memories we had, please.
Vanessa pleaded with tears streaming down her eyes.
I don’t want to see you here when I get back. She took her clutch which she had thrown on the bed and left.
Vanessa bit her lower lip in frustration, what had she done? betraying the one person that had been nice to her. Mitchell can be authoritative but still very caring. She fell for him the very first day she set her eyes on him.But he had wanted Mitchell instead. He got close to her to get chell,it hurt had hurt her but who was she to complain? Besides who sees a fat short lady and fall for her?What was more irritating was the ever constant pimples on her face.She had tried out all the face creams she knows both expensive and cheap,all to no avail.
And last night he came looking for chell to work things out with her.Somewhere along the line they got talking when he decided to wait for her.And then it all started unplanned with a kiss he had started.
She threw her belongings into her suitcases,as the tears on her face gave her know breathing space. It wasn’t all about the money but the guilt she felt seing herself as a traitor.
*******
Tare frowned her face even with her eyes close,who could be knocking this early?She stood up sleepily still on her nighties and opened the door.
Good morning sir.
Sorry it afternoon already,so I would say good afternoon miss.
Afternoon?she must have over slept after doing T.D.B.
Sorry Sir,how may I help you? she asked after looking at the dark skinned man trying hard to place the face.
Tare, I must say you are beautiful girl.please let me in we have lot to talk about.
Sorry,how did you know my name? and what do we have to talk about?
Just let me in,will you?
She moved away from the door and gestured to him to take a seat on the only plastic chair in her room.
Am suprised your mother has not said anything to you,we are supposed to be married soon so I came to meet you in person
What?? Tare flared up with anger burning through her eyes.
This can’t happen,I am not going to marry you for any reason. Besides my mum will never do that.
I see you trust her.But there’s nothing you can do,as a matter of fact I have paid your bride price to your mother. You can call her now if you wish
Please leave, I don’t ever want to see you again.
She pressed her body against the door the moment he left.
No this can’t be,the thought of her mother selling her was killing her.How could she?Marriage is a life time thing.The man in question should be in his late forties. She ran her hand through her hair as more tears clouded her face.
There was another knock on the door,she ignored it. She didn’t want another person adding to her problems. But when the knocking became non-stop,she had no choice than to open it.
Her mouth went dry seeing the figure before her.This guy was just too handsome,without him saying anything she felt happy with just looking at him.
what do you want? and how did you know live here?She asked after composing herself.
Have you been crying?Richard found himself asking.
Are you stalking me?I thought I made it clear I don’t want to have anything to do with you.
Hear me out first,for crying out loud why are you so self centered. Can’t you help a fellow being.
There are so many people in our department so please ask help from them and stop stalking me. She closed the door at his face.
What was this guy anyway? Can’t he take no for answer. Why does he have to keep stalking me.Why am I feeling happy all of a sudden after seeing him with all the issues I’v got.
Richard smiled as he drove back home,Tare didn’t know he had followed her the previous night. He was supposed to be angry but he couldn’t explain why he was smiling like a fool instead.Maybe it the joy of seeing a girl get mad at him!.No girl had ever done that before not to talk of scolding him.That makes him get more interested in knowing her.But for now I have to give her some space he said to himself.
****
Angella pulled her husband by the arm as she led him to the room she had prepared for their baby.
Wow this is nice,jo exclaimed.
You sure our baby will like this?
Yes honey,it beautiful. But did you have to stress yourself,I would have called someone to do it.
I didn’t honey,have been lazying around all day so I decided to keep myself busy.
Even at that love you should rest and eat plenty please.
I don’t want my baby thinking am lazy.
Ha ha,Is that so?
He carried her in a bridal style and placed her on the sofa in the living room.
Honey don’t you think you should settle your disputes with my family members.
Dear I would do that but when I carry my baby in my arms.
It okay I’ll be waiting.
He didn’t have to argue that,they had made her life a living hell during the early years of their marriage so he respects her every decision.
Thank you for understanding love.
she claimed his lips with hers as they engaged in an hot romance

Thank you missmossy....and Daveed keep following to find out

Tare held her breath as Richard did all the talking,she didn’t know the guy was this handsome.She wouldn’t have shouted too much on him the other day,but he deserved it.She felt God had special likeness for some people if not why would someone be this cute and some very ugly! she pinched herself to stop stealing glances at him.
So what do you say?
Wha…I mean what she stammered. The cutie didn’t know she had been lost staring at him.
I said I need your help with my studies,you see I haven’t really been following with school activities.
Why did you think I can be of help?
The way you were so focused earlier I was lost staring at you,I believe you can be of help.please I will pay you well.
That got Tare very angry, so he feels money is everything. This is what she hated about the rich spoilt kids,they always put their money first.
So you feel am some girl looking for money right? and you have the guts to flirt with me,Mr man I don’t need anything from you.
Richard was shocked to some extent, he had to explain what he really meant.It wasn’t as if he was bragging he had money,he believed in working for himself. The girl was so smart,how did she figure out he was flirting with her.He just couldn’t help it, everything about her entices him.
please that not what I meant by that,I.mean…
save it,Tare cuts him short.
I don’t need any explanation from you,she said and walked away quickly before Richard could catch up with her.
***
Richard opened the door in suprise,looking at his clock before glancing at the lady in front of him.
Mitchell looking ravishing in a black bum short and a blue sleevleess top.
Bae did you check the time before leaving your house?I mean it big time late.
Boo I did, I called earlier but you didn’t pick. I mean what happening? where is the love we once shared.
Richard almost laughed at the sound of that,what love is she talking about. She’s even the biggest mistakes he had ever made.
Bae am sorry, I was in the library.
Lib….did I hear you right?she laughed sarcastically.
Richard wasn’t in the mood for all her talks,she had come just in time. It wouldn’t be bad if she warmed his bed for the night.He smiled at his thought and decided to act sweet.
He held her by her arm and their lips locked in a passionate kiss.Richard started undressing her without wasting time but their fun was cut short. Chell’s phone had starting ringing,they had ignored it for the first time but when it rang again,she decided to check who was calling.
Doc mark.
oh no,she couldn’t ignore this particular call.after talking to the caller for few minutes she turned to Richard in a sorry tune.
Am sorry, I have to go now it’s urgent. She went over his mirror and arranged her weavon.
What’s wrong? he asked though pissed.
I have to go now bye.
Atleast let me drive you it late,he needed to do that it was very late and jos isnt a secure place.
No thanks.
Richard knew something was definitely amiss, On a normal day Chel would have begged him into driving her home. But wasn’t it strange? whenever they wanted getting down there’s always a distraction.He was getting scared,was it some sort of force or a trick chel is playing? No that can’t be the girl didn’t look like a virgin and besides his touch melted her,he ought to be more careful with her.
****
Mum,you’v got to accept Ray is gone.
Mitchell his not,I left him at the park to get you two snacks remember? why did you let your little brother live your sight?
Mum,please forget that already am here for you and will never leave you please mum forget Ray.
No his my last baby,my baby needs me…She broke into tears
Mother,why are you doing this to me? why can’t you accept loss like every normal human being. I need you mum,why is you and dad making me feel like an orphan.She broke into tears.
But it all your fault, you didn’t look after him. it all your fault she said wailing like a child.
Mitchell cried as she remembered the event, she was five and her kid brother was 3.Their mum had taken them to a park .Along the line,she left them to get snacks.There was an explosion and everything went dismay.They never saw Ray again,and her mother’s life was never thesame again. She became mentally unstable ever since then.

What did I hear you say? preye come back here
But it’s the truth mum,how long are we going to stay at home, Ahmed told me the exams are starting next week.So am not registering for my junior waec?
Preye you better watch your tongue,I will not kill myself for money I don’t have.I told you our inlaws are coming today,I know they will drop something eh,I promise to register you before next week.
Mum,are you sure? besides is sister Tare aware of the plans?
Will you get out of here and get yourself busy,see how your mouth is running like tap as if it is your business.
Edna bit her lower lip in confusion,was she doing the right thing? planning a marriage for her daughter in this generation. This isn’t what she wanted but she is tired of this kind of life.Her mind drifted back to her youthful days how it all happened.
Edna was a beauty to behold, she was heels inlove with Tano her boyfriend popurlarly called his father’s name Ayiba-emi.Their love story was the talk of campus.They were refeered to as “love paddy” because they were never found without the other.But it all changed when Edna was forced to marry Isaih.At that time he was wealthy,she pleaded with her mother to give her a chance to be with the one she loved,she believed Tano would eventually get rich one day because he was very hard working but her pleas were turned off.It was a heart breaking moment for the lovers as they tried to split, all their dreams of spending their life together were tarnished.Funny enough they had planned to name their first child” Tare”.Isaih had to live bayelsa state to nassarawa state to avoid Ayiba-emi’s constant wailing of “bring back my girlfriend”.
She cleaned her eyes with the end of wrapper as she remembered those painful memories.
I hope Tare forgives me,am doing this for things to get better unlike my parents that did it for selfishness she muttered admist tears.
*******
Richard searched through the libary looking for a suitable place to seat,after his encounter with his father he had decided to give it a try with business admin.He found an empty seat which was at the extreme end,he sat down quietly and brought out his p.c.
Where am I going to start from?jeez this bad,maybe I would have taken mum’s advice. He really needed a tutor.
He looked at the girl who sat at his front,she must be a book warm he thought. So engrossed with what she was writing.He made up his mind to ask for her help .Meanwhile he decided to while away time by making a sketch on his book
Tare checked her time as she yawned for the third time,she was dizzy already. She packed her books into her handbag and made her way out of the library. She walked for sometime before she stopped when she heard a musculine voice.
Excuse me please.
She stood still not ready to turn,she hated people from her department after her first day she decided to avoid their path expecially the wealthy ones.
Hey please can I talk to you for a minute.
Tare turned her face towards him.
what do you want?
Richard was lost for sometime,he couldn’t believe it. The same person he had been dreaming about for weeks! the girl he drawn and prayed to see again was standing beside him

Jonas looked at his wife in frustration,how could someone be so obsessed with a movie to the extent of crying with the characters. This particular one seemed to be her favourite”marima”.She was watching it for the third time today yet she still cried for every scene.
Dear why are you staring at me?Angela asked her husband when their eyes had met
Angel you can’t blame me,you’v been giving all your attention to the movie and am getting jelouse here.
Ha ha..honey 2more hours I will be done.
A whole 2? no way.He took the remote control from the table in an attempt to put it the tv off,Angela struggled with him..jonas took his heels as Angela ran after him.
Honey are you okay? jo asked concerned when Angela squated on one spot.
No hon..pooo..,she vomited everything she had eaten earlier on the tiles. Jo led her to their bedroom after he had cleaned up the mess.
Baby I think you should see the doctor.
No dear,it nothing to worry about
How can you say that? you’v been throwing up all day?
I know but it not what you are thinking,I don’t want to get disappointed.
Baby,where is your faith?let give it a try .
Remember our first year in marriage,this happened and it all resulted to our hopes dashed.just for that doc to say it was only typoid.
Angel this is our fifth year,it just a test.We may be positive or not let just do it.
I won’t honey,that’s final.
Jonas left the room for the guest room obviously pissed,for crying out loud why is she faithless? she doesn’t even remember they serve a God of impossibilities. Angela was just too stubborn but he loves her even in her stubbornness,he just hope she have a rethink of the whole issue.
********
Tiana smiled happily as she drove into the duplex, Angel had invited her over.She hoped she was right, through Angela’s explanation she believed it was nothing but pregnancy. The jo’s had suffered enough,she had been their family doctor for the past five years and she carried their burden like hers. She hoped the song will be different from
“there’s nothing wrong with both of you this time”.
Welcome doc,am very sorry for disturbing you.
You look lean dear,I suspect it must be pregnancy,let’s get started i came with a pregnancy kit.
How do I use it? she pointed to the kit when Tiana had given her.
Tiana explained to her, and she came back few minutes later.
So dear,how was it?
I…m po..she broke into tears.
I told you so,she went closer to her and hugged her.
But doc,can we go the hospital I really want to be sure.
it okay if that’s what you want.
Okay,she cleaned her tears,and headed for her bedroom.
let me change my outfit please.

Jonas looked at his wife in frustration,how could someone be so obsessed with a movie to the extent of crying with the characters. This particular one seemed to be her favourite”marima”.She was watching it for the third time today yet she still cried for every scene.
Dear why are you staring at me?Angela asked her husband when their eyes had met
Angel you can’t blame me,you’v been giving all your attention to the movie and am getting jelouse here.
Ha ha..honey 2more hours I will be done.
A whole 2? no way.He took the remote control from the table in an attempt to put it the tv off,Angela struggled with him..jonas took his heels as Angela ran after him.
Honey are you okay? jo asked concerned when Angela squated on one spot.
No hon..pooo..,she vomited everything she had eaten earlier on the tiles. Jo led her to their bedroom after he had cleaned up the mess.
Baby I think you should see the doctor.
No dear,it nothing to worry about
How can you say that? you’v been throwing up all day?
I know but it not what you are thinking,I don’t want to get disappointed.
Baby,where is your faith?let give it a try .
Remember our first year in marriage,this happened and it all resulted to our hopes dashed.just for that doc to say it was only typoid.
Angel this is our fifth year,it just a test.We may be positive or not let just do it.
I won’t honey,that’s final.
Jonas left the room for the guest room obviously pissed,for crying out loud why is she faithless? she doesn’t even remember they serve a God of impossibilities. Angela was just too stubborn but he loves her even in her stubbornness,he just hope she have a rethink of the whole issue.
********
Tiana smiled happily as she drove into the duplex, Angel had invited her over.She hoped she was right, through Angela’s explanation she believed it was nothing but pregnancy. The jo’s had suffered enough,she had been their family doctor for the past five years and she carried their burden like hers. She hoped the song will be different from
“there’s nothing wrong with both of you this time”.
Welcome doc,am very sorry for disturbing you.
You look lean dear,I suspect it must be pregnancy,let’s get started i came with a pregnancy kit.
Am so nervous she said..
come on dear... go on and try
So dear,how was it?
I…m po..she broke into tears.
I told you so,she went closer to her and hugged her.
But doc,can we go the hospital I really want to be sure.
it okay if that’s what you want.
Okay,she cleaned her tears,and headed for her bedroom.
let me change my outfit please.
**************
here is the result,she said and handed it to Angela.
Angela took the result with trembling hands,she didn’t know what to do if this resuilt differs from the one they had earlier at home.
Come on dear,open it.Doc Tiana smiled encouragingly at her.
Angela took a deep breath as she pulled the result from the envelope.
What does it say dear?
Without answering her she went on her knees and started crying.
It okay,stop crying God is great. She patted Angela’s back trying to conceal her own tears.
Somehow Angela found herself in her house,she drove home happily after the whole incident at the hospital. But her husband wasn’t picking her calls,he was still mad at her for the event of the previous night. She didn’t even know when he left for work.No,she can’t wait anymore,she was going to meet him at the office. She picked up her keys hurriedly and left the house.30 minutes later she arrived at the office,she managed to reply few greatings as all her mind was on her husband.
Honey
Jonas was suprised,he couldn’t remember the last time Angel jad visited him at the office.Maybe she wanted to make up for hurting him.
What’s it? he asked without looking up from the system he was working on.
Honey am pregnant.
Jonas jumped up from his seat immediately.
Baby did I hear you right?
Yes love,am pregnant.
He carried her up,planting numerous kisses on her face.
So we are pregnant,he didn’t even realise he was shedding tears too.They went on their knees as they sang happily to God…
