richiearmany14:
Thanks Cbella for always keeping me glued

Uncle richiearmany14, it's not my story ooo...

I think you meant rachealfst lol

timota:
It seems crystal truly does not have feelings for the guy again so whatever Ezinne and her ex are doing is immaterial to her cos Soma has broken the edge of love and hence crystal's serpent of distrust bitting him.

I guess so besides it took her a whole lot of time to get over him and burry that in

Dessydemmy:
oya now!!! unto the next one. This wont be easy for Crystal.

She's pretending as if she's not hurting

Mcweber:


Even if the OP is damn busy, let her come online and like say something as to why the updates are delaying. No one is paying her of course, but when she starts raking in money from her stories, deep down she is going to say "nairaland brought me here", and of course, we the readers too

I'm glad you said 'even if she's busy she should come online and say something as to why the updates are delaying' but just maybe whatever she's busy with includes not being able to come on here to tell us why update has delayed.


Just my opinion tho. I stand to be corrected but I'm pretty sure she's not so happy not updating for 24hrs and of course rachealfst has her readers in mind.

And she made mention the book is available on Okada books just incase............


I know it's your opinion and you chose your words carefully but there could be another reason she hasn't updated yet and thesame reason she hasn't said anything yet. Let's just pardon her.

Oyinprince:
You're welcome ma'am, I'm really expecting your surprise

Haaaa, let me not disappoint then..

Deckline:

My dear, its not a dream o. Crystal is actually falling for Oba,that keke napep driver. Infact,they are both falling for theirselves. Crystal's brain is not 100%

Lol!! I believe Oba is still dreaming...

So Oba is still in dreamland..... Some one tap him and tell him it's afternoon

Oyinprince:

CRYSTAL
After Church service I called my mechanic when I got back home. The mechanic said he'll bring the car later in the evening.
After lunch I got chatting with my friends on our WhatsApp group chat. Those guys knows how to crack someone up. I intended to chat a bit then take a nap but I found myself still chatting for more than an hour.
I finally got the nerve to put off my data. I needed to rest but Soma's call altered my plans again. We talked at length like we used to before. Thankfully we are back to having a lively conversations.
In the evening I had to call the mechanic around 7pm when he didn't show up as he promised. He promised he'll bring the car very early the next day.

On Monday morning, after dressing up for work, I went downstairs my mum too was already set for work but still my mechanic hasn't show up. I called his line but it was switched off which I know it was intentional. I'm sure he did that so I won't be able to reach him. It meant one thing he hasn't fix the car.
"Mum, he's phone is switched off and I don't know what to do now" I complained bitterly.
"This mechanic People and their wahala. It's hard to find the truthful one among them"
"At least he should have told me the truth yesterday instead of posting me that he'll bring it today. I would have find another alternative"
"Zite too is not around he would have drop you off since your route is the same with his"
"Yes, I should have called Ezinne for help too but her car too is faulty”
"Or will you take my car? I'll find my way to school" she offered.
I wish our route are the same but she work in mainland while I work on the Island.
"Don't worry ma. I'd take a cab and the sad thing is that the staff bus would have left the terminal by now.
"Speaking of cab. Why don't you call Oba" Mummy suggested.
"I don't have his number"
"Which means you have not thanked him since Saturday"
"I sent Daddy a text to send me his number but he didn't reply his message"

____________________Toyin Taiwo
You should have called your father to get his number since he didn't reply his message.
"I tried his two lines just now but it's switched off"
"Switched off?" I informed mum.
"What will you do now?"
"I'll just get a cab"
Mum dropped me off at the bus stop. I tried to get a cab but they are all occupied. So I decided to take a commercial bus. Twenty minutes into the journey, I couldn't explain what happened. All I know is that the bus summersaulted thrice before it stopped. The passengers were shouting all kinds of names. I was shouting Jesus too.

When the bus stopped with the four tires up and the roof of the bus on the ground. Passers-by rushed to our rescue and help us out one after the other.
Nobody died but almost everyone sustained one injury or the other. Some were mild while some were very severe, I mean very.

We were taken to a government hospital, some were conveyed in ambulance especially those with severe injuries. while others while conveyed in vehicles of good Samaritans that offered to help and I was one of them.

Minutes later I was already in the ER and attended to immediately. I had some bruises on my leg, it was treated immediately. Then I noticed I can't lift my left arm, by the time the doctor checked it out, it was swollen already.

I was wheeled to the X-ray room by one of the ER attendant. The X-ray result showed I had dislocation of the arm.
The doctor said I have to put a cast on it.
"First I have to set the bone back before putting the cast" The doctor informed.
I was in pain, so I just nodded to every he said. Though I was given analgesic injection, but I could still feel pain all over my body.


____________________Toyin Taiwo
"Are you ready?" he asked. "At the count of three" he said and counted.
"One, two and three" kra! Was the sound I heard and I screamed in pain. The bone was set. He then put a cast on it. And set up an IV fluids for me.
My phone rang inside my bag that was kept beside me. Then I remembered I haven't called anyone to tell them I'm in the hospital.
I retrieved my phone from my bag, it was mum called.
"Hello dear, have you gotten to the office? I heard her voice.
"Mum, I'm in the hospital" I cried out. I couldn't help but cry when I heard voice.
"Hospital!"
"I had an accident"
"Jesus Christ! Accident! Are you ok. Which hospital?" She asked. I told her I'm ok, at least I'm alive. I also gave her the name of the hospital.
"I'm coming right away my daughter" she said and ended the call.
In less than hour, my mum was standing right next to my bed in the ER. She couldn't drive herself to the hospital, she was trembling so some of her colleague had to bring her down to the hospital.
"Jesus! You even have a cast. Oh my God, why did I allow you take a public bus. I should have insisted you go with my car. God what have I done" She lamented. She later calmed down.
I know she was trying to put herself together. Trust my mum she's always strong for me.
"Mum, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault" I said while her colleagues too told her same thing.
She sat beside and checked all my body, she saw the bruises and I saw pain flash through her eyes.
"Mum, it's just bruises on my leg, I'll be fine"
She met with the orthopedic doctor who attended to me. The doctor assured her every thing will be fine and in 8weeks the cast will be removed.

I called the office and told them the situation of things. I also informed Silver, my secretary. I planned to call my friends later because I was already feeling sleepy but Soma called and told me Silver informed me. He ended the call and minutes all my friends started calling one after the other.
____________________Toyin Taiwo
My Mum called my dad. Few hours time the ER was flooded with all my friends except Ezinne who promised to come after the close of the day as she was so busy at work, they all left their work and came down to the hospital. My Daddy too came in with Oba.
My mum colleagues left when the other's arrived. The nurses were complaining already that the visitors are too much as I even needed to rest. So the nurses asked them to come in, in twos.

My friends didn't like the way the nurses were acting so they made arrangement for me to be moved from the emergency room into a private ward. The request was granted in no time. I wondered how they do it.

I was moved into the private ward, there you are free to do whatever pleases you. No much rules. The doctors only excused the visitors when they want to attend to the patient. Once they are done, they are free to come back into the ward. Though this applied to only stable patient. If the patient is not table then the number of the visitors will be limited.

I officially introduced my Dad to my friends although as they we're all meeting him for the first time. They teased me about having his eyes, nose and all.
Dad left with mum to see my doctor. Leaving just my friends and Oba in the ward.

I also introduced Oba and I use the opportunity to thank him for the last time and told him I'm sorry for not calling him as I don't have his number.
My mum later went home with Oba to pack some few things we'll be needing at the hospital. They came back in less than two hours.

The room was filled up with all my loved ones and I'm glad to have them around me. The guys cracked jokes, made me laugh and I almost forgot I was in a hospital with a cast on. They all left in the evening when my eyes was diming. They knew I wouldn’t sleep if they are still around. I was left with Mum, Dad and Oba.

I sat next to Crystal using my hand to smoothen her hair. Amara and Oba sat on the chair not too far from the bed. I was really concerned and was not happy with my daughter's condition.
"Why didn't you call Oba? Why commercial bus, with the set of reckless drivers you have in this your Lagos" I asked her.
"Dad, I don't have his number. I sent you a text yesterday afternoon. I guess you didn't get my message because I wanted you to send me his number so I could thank him"
"I'm sorry, I forgot to read the text"
"She even tried your line this morning, so you could help him call Oba but your phone was switched off" Amara added.
"I didn't turn it on until 8am this morning. This is all my fault"
"Dad, if there's anyone to blame, it's that mechanic. Imagine he should have come out straight with me. Instead of lying that he'll bring the car this morning.
"I just thank God it's not more than this. You'll be fine my princess" he assured me. "I like your friends, I must confess, I'm impressed. They made me feel young again" I said and she smiled faintly.
"You and Oba should be on your way now. It's almost 9pm" Amara said.
"I'm not leaving, I'm staying with her too. Oba you can go home. I lost track of time, I never knew it's this late"
"Dad! You are leaving with Oba, you have a flight to catch tomorrow or have you forgotten your India trip?"
"I'll cancel the trip"
"Afam!" Amara called out. I know she wants to convince me too.

My phone rang and it was my PA. I guess he's in Lagos already. I picked the call and told him I'm cancelling the trip.
"Sir!"
"You heard me"


____________________Toyin Taiwo
"Sir but.... I stood up and cut in.
“I said I'm cancelling, my dau.... I had to swallow the rest. I paused for some seconds. "I need to attend to something important. And I don't care if the deal is cancelled"
"I'll call them and see if they'll reschedule at least it's your money you want to invest. So I'll talk to them" he said.
"Thank you, I'm sorry for the inconveniency, just rest well tonight then you can go back to Enugu tomorrow"
“Ok sir and please take care of yourself sir"
"I will, thanks. Good night" I said and ended the call. By the time I ended the three pairs of eyes were piercing at me.
"Dad! Like I said earlier, you don't have to cancel your business trip because of me. By the way why are you hiding the fact that you have a daughter from your people"
I sighed and sat beside her.
"Sir, just called the person back and tell him you've changed your mind. Don't worry about Crystal. I'll be here with her and her mum till you return back to the country" Oba said and it sounded more like an instruction.
He picked my phone from the top of the bed side locker where I put it. "Call the person back" he said again he handed the phone to me.
"Afam, just place the call as he rightly said. You have nothing to worry about. She'll be fine" Amara added.
I looked at the three of them, then I placed the call. I told my PA to meet me at the Airport by 8am the next day. He was so happy I changed my mind.
"Thanks for changing your mind Dad, now can you answer my question" Crystal said.
I kept quiet as I don't know what to tell her.
"Dad!"
"Daughter!" Ok, let me just say it's the best thing for now. I'm protecting you.
"From who?"
"Can we talk about this later. You should rest now"
"Dad! Answer my question!"


____________________Toyin Taiwo
I looked at Amara but I don't know the right words to say.
"From who? Dad!
"His ex wife. She must not know that you've met" Oba replied her and bailed me out.. I reached out for her hand and held it." No one knew I've found you and your mum. I want it to remain like that. It's for the best. I said and kissed the back of her hand.
"I love you my pretty daughter. You are the best thing that ever happened to me after your mum. I have to keep you safe. I left Enugu just to be closer to you"
"What about your family in Enugu?" Amara asked
"They are fine without me. I mean they don't need me"
"And your company?" Crystal asked.
"We are planning on relocating. I've sent a team to come over to Lagos to look into that. As soon as we get a good site, then construction will commence immediately" I explained.
"What company? Oba asked curiously.
"You don't know he owns AFAMAR Pharmaceutical company? Crystal said surprisingly. Oba was dumb founded.
"Daddy Afam!"
"Oba let's go, we'll talk in the car" I told him.
"Good night ma, good night Crystal. Have a wonderful night rest" He said.
I kissed Crystal good night and went to Amara's sit and patted her at the back.
"You guys, should take care, I'll see you in few days. Oba will be here for you in case you need anything" I said and as I was leaving with Oba, Amara called out.
"Oba!"
"Yes ma" he said and turned to face her.
"I don't know what is going through your mind right now but just know he didn't mean it that way. Even Crystal and I refer to you as his friend. I hope you know how much he likes you" Amara said.
“Thank you ma" He said and managed to smile and we left the room.
Once he turned on the ignition, I started talking.

Thanks to everyone who have been following the story so far. Your comments are highly appreciated.
I have a message to pass across to some readers on the thread.
It is clearly stated that you should ask for the permission of the writer before posting this story else were but fine you don't have that kind of time right? But at least don't claim someone else's intellectual property. For me I don't think is too much for you to just but the name of the writer. Please is that too hard?


You guys should just do it right and be responsible. I won't stop the story by God's grace. If it's about the money, I won't share it here. I only one to reach out to people especially youth with the gift God gave me.

Thank you all.

AryEmber:

“I want to be on top.”
It took him a while to understand but when he did, he groaned and slammed his mouth on hers.
Ayisat took that as a yes and kissed him back just as hard as he did.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
On that note people, I scream. "C’est fini!”

Thank you so much guys[sorry, too tired to mention names] I really appreciate your views, shares, likes and most importantly comments.

Wow... Great end but wait oh... Ayisat wants to be on top �... Which building top.


Weldone AryEmber

AryEmber:
CHAPTER IO

“Don’t think, just love me please.” She said and stood on her feet to kiss his neck, still pleading in between her kisses.
He stopped thinking and kissed her with everything he felt, he carried her and she wrapped her legs around him immediately, he continued to kiss her as he made his way up to his room.

Who said Ayisat is naive... The girl no dey joke.

Lol... We love it AryEmber

rachealfst, this is awesome.

How do you do it? I mean how you are able to develop these characters, they are a lot but yet still you found a unique way of putting their picture in our heads and we your readers had no choice than to fall in love with them.
