Hello dear, Umm, why I can promise something about dear diary, I'm not so certain about choc and sushi because it's quite a huge story to begin with. Switched is something I chose not to consider turning into a novel because it had some errors. But thanks for asking. I appreciate.

glowingscenes,

is there a way I can read chocolates and sushi again. it seems as if it is not compiled on your blog and the dear diary series.


When my old blog crashed, some of the episodes went missing with it. I'm thinking of uploading the dear diary when I'm done writing beautiful wings.
As for chocolates and sushi, I had to remove some episodes due to personal reasons.
Thanks for understanding.
Literature / Beautiful Wings By Glowingscenes by glowingscenes(f): 10:22pm On Mar 29, 2016
Episode 1

The title ‘Beautiful wings’ came after much contemplation about what kind of wings I’d like to be involved in this story. Beautiful or Broken. And I pondered if we humans had any wings at all. I guess we had nothing to stand or even fly. We are that fragile. And so while I was still thinking, I found myself in the book of Ezekiel chapter 16 where God himself was saying something;

When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; so I spread My wing over you and covered your unclothedness. Yes, I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine,” says the Lord God.


God loves you and I this much. I hope you get this as you keep reading.

Have a wonderful day ahead and remember, God is the reason you glow and should glow!

Episode 1
“I’m going to kill the both of them!” Lara screamed at Mabel though her friend was trying to calm her down. She jerked free and reached for her phone. After scrolling and not knowing what exactly she wanted to do, she flung the phone aside and reached to rub a hand against her head.

Her body was on fire right now and all she wanted to do was shoot the two people in her life that had betrayed her.

She couldn’t believe it.

Her best friend and her boy-friend.

Better put, her fiancé.

Was this some kind of joke or movie? This couldn’t be happening to her right now. It was probably some bad dream she was going to wake up from. Things like this were stories she heard of other people.

Not her.

“Lara, please take it easy…” Mabel’s voice refused to soothe her.

She turned to face her. “For how long have you known about this Mabel? How long!” She screamed the tears already streaming down her face.

“I knew you would be hurt.” Her friend tried to explain. “The last thing I wanted for you is to be hurt like this. I felt that if you knew about it, you wouldn’t go on with the wedding and you could know the kind of man Soji is.”

“And Aisha! That girl of all people? My bestfriend! Aisha that we attended the same primary and secondary school. Aisha that I wasn’t afraid to share my feelings with and everything else that belonged to me. Mabel, Aisha was like a sister and she heartlessly did this to me?”

“You know what Lara, just calm down. Let me get you a glass of water while you sit here and relax. You’ll be fine. I’m really sorry you had to find out about them this way.”

“She was sitting right on his lap when I caught them. In his office!!Soji didn’t even look like someone that was getting married to me. He even had the guts to beg me that it’s not what I think. I can’t even think right now. How am I going to survive the next few weeks? I’m going to be the laughing stock of the whole Lagos and my family. What are my parents going to do, the I.V and everything else! What about everything I did for him?”

“He’s a gold digger and a womanizer. That’s all he is.”

Lara knew Soji was no gold-digger. Maybe he was a womanizer but not the former. She’d offered to help him sometime back when they were studying at Manchester together but right now, he was a chartered accountant working in one of the top banks in the country. His father was late but his mother was a well known fashion designer even designing her wedding gown at the moment. Soji was well employed and had enough to take care of the both of them. If he wasn’t capable, her parents wouldn’t have blessed their engagement in the first place.

“I need that cup of water.” She headed to the kitchen while Mabel followed behind. She ensured Mabel wouldn’t be able to hold her back before she reached for the knife and slit her wrists.

Mabel screamed.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Nimi was staring outside her window when Kemi barged inside dropping her phone on the bed and frowning. All day she’d been trying to meditate on God’s word but her mind wasn’t settled.

Kemi, her long time roomate disrupted her thoughts much further.

“I have to go home this weekend. My cousin was just involved in an accident and my parents obviously need me around for child support.” Nimi noticed the sarcasm behind the voice and turned to look at Kemi wide-eyed.

A girl had been bleeding in her dream this morning. Could this be happening in reality?

She had never seen Kemi’s cousin face to face, but she knew the cousin she was talking about. The girl was like the prettiest girl she’d ever seen in pictures. Her roommate talked about her every single time. From the things she owned, to the guy she was going to get married to and how huge her father’s company was and how she was the one taking over as she was their only girl after her brother who was interested in something else.

“What happened?”

“Till I get home that’s when I can know, but I think it’s pretty serious. Baby Lara has probably been offended once more or maybe she cut her nail while she was doing pedicure and manicure.” She chuckled non-nonchalantly.

“Don’t be mean.”

“I’m not mean, she’s just my cousin and she can be pretty annoying sometimes. I can go home now and guess what, she just missed a step. I have to be at her beck and call because you know, it’s Baby Lara, no one offends her and it goes silent. Either the person is getting a payback or the whole world hears about it.”

Nimi sighed. “I do hope she’s alright.”

Kemi blinked and stared at her for a while. As if on cue, she beamed. “Come with me.”

“What?”

“Please! It would be fun I promise. Don’t be such a bore.”

“No way, what will I tell my parents that I’m doing in the Kitan’s dynasty?”

“Many things. That you’re working part-time in one of their companies.”

“Are you using style to offer me a job?”

“Are you going to say yes if I say that I’m offering you a job?”

She shook her head suddenly appalled by the thought that they had changed the Lara centered discussion to her own search for an opportunity to work somewhere to gain a little experience even if she wasn’t being paid well. She knew it was part of God’s plan for her but was unaware on how He was going to execute it.

“We should be more concerned about your cousin and not what we seek to gain from her demise.”

“I never said you got the job, I was just trying to entice you but you didn’t seem to budge.” Kemi grinned more to herself. Her phone buzzed and she picked it up suddenly distracted by the messages coming in and forgetting her roommate for a while.

Nimi who was already used to her short time span in paying attention to things and discussions shook her head and dropped her Bible trying to go through one of her notes. It was a wonder the girl graduated from school and was running a Masters program here in Unilag.

“So are you coming with me? The good thing is we get picked from here in a car-like limousine.” She wiggled her eyebrows. ‘C’mon Nimi, even if it’s just this once, or have you asked Boyfriend number 1 and he said no?”
She nudged her playfully.

“Is it not you.” Kemi chuckled. “I know you na. The one who asks Jesus about every single thing. Team ‘Jesus is my husband.’ I wonder when you guys are going to realize that Jesus cannot marry all of you and you need someone ‘real’ and touchable. Someone to give you some good loving like Dare, your real boyfriend.”

“How many times am I going to tell you guys that there’s nothing between myself and Dare. First it was Nosa and Bridget and now, it’s you. You see a guy with a girl and the next thing you guys know how to do is frame stories or conjure up a relationship tale that’s not happening and never happening.”She snapped.

Kemi obviously saw how upset her friend had become and blinked. “You need to take a chill pill madam.”

“I’m sorry…” She apologized immediately she saw how upset her friend was. “It’s just that when you guys do that, it registers in my mind subconsciously I start thinking of him as an option when He isn’t God’s will for my life.”

“I just worry about you sometimes that’s all. I mean you’re a good girl and so you deserve a good guy.”

She smiled sadly. “And who says I’m good?”

“Uh, well, obviously if we are going to be classifying the good people, you would fall into the category for sure. You don’t do drugs, no tattoo, no alcohol, you read your Bible like it’s the next best thing after Chicken and chips, you’ve never had a first kiss, no dirty linen in your closet and you’d rather find satisfaction in God’s cloud 9 than in a club where you can get high.” She said as a matter of factly.

“Thank you for analyzing my life Miss Adesina.”

“Look, it’s just that you growing up as an old maid in some church or something creeps me out and that’s what happens to some good girls who live in denial. Someone like me, I don’t think I can do without physical contact. It’s crazy! Like how do you do it, do you recite a mantra or something?”

Nimi ignored her friend. She was used to her teasing.

“Okay, so are you coming with me or not? Please say yes. Besides, doesn’t the good book say mourn with those who mourn?”

“It’s now you know scripture.” She shook her head laughing. It was amazing how people often used the words in the Bible for their own selfish interpretation. She shook her head considering the situation. She didn’t feel uncomfortable or restless about it and her mind flashed back again to the image of the bleeding girl in her dreams.

She felt that nudge again. She’d learned to recognize it over time.

“When do we leave?”

glowingscenes:
EPisode 1

Omolade Williams didn’t like the name she was given right from primary school. Afin. That name made her feel worse than the meaning itself and she went through Our Lady of Apostles bearing the nickname just for her to realize that it wasn’t a name that was going to drown out pretty soon.

Before long, Aunt Shade, Sister Bisi and Sister Rolake adapted the name and even Mum didn’t find anything wrong with it.
She never found anything wrong with Aunty Shade as she was the first daughter. Infact, she boasted sometimes she was old enough to give birth to her since she was blessed with two kids and a dashing black and bold husband.
The kind of husband women swooned for.
Uncle Dotun.

He was the only one who called her Molade and She liked him for it although his wife didn’t still see it as a propellant that would make her change her mind.

Afin was Afin.

Afin was a fair girl. Infact, the only fair child in the family and she laughed when her aunt crooned her primary school fairytale. ‘’Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? Molade Omotoke Afin oroyo is the fairest of them all.’’

Ever since she was 10, that was Aunt Shade’s lullaby for her and her teasing song, and soon she got used to it. it made her feel special in some sort of way most especially when boys started glancing her way once she got admission into Our Lady of Apostles Secondary School in Lagos. It was an only girls’ school but that didn’t stop the boys in the neighbourhood from passing her notes and praising her for her beauty.

It was then she realized she wasn’t as ‘Afin’ as she thought. She was very fair no doubt, but had traits of albinism in her which enhanced her beauty. Number of times, she heard girls in school calling her mammy water most especially when they noticed the number of boys that looked her way when she went home with her friends. Her hair was black and curly, she had fair and smooth skin and her eyes exuded a form of glow although it was hard to know if she was looking at you directly sometimes.

So she wasn’t completely albino.’’ She took comfort in that fact and moved on in life into the University of Lagos.
And that was when the scandal happened that led her mother decide she would be staying with her big sister.

Aunt Shade.

After her first semester in the University, it was then a particular lecturer in school decided to lay eyes on her and it was during one of his wooing sessions with her in his office and his wife barged in and almost disgraced her husband and reported Afin to her mother.

Her father was the popular and famous but late though his extended family was not. Infact they still interfered with the affairs of the family and that was how the wife of the promiscuous lecturer knew the girl she was dealing with.
Omolade Williams, Child of Late Chief Williams.

Mrs Adesanmi was a close friend of the family and knew where to go to disgrace Omolade further.
Her mother.

“you better tell that your mammy water daughter to stay off my husband Mrs Williams o!’’ she yelled while Shade, Bisi and Rolake had stayed watching her quietly wondering what Afin had done this time.
“e ma binu ma. Ejo ma’’ Mrs Williams pleaded.

“that girl will disgrace you one day no doubt! I’m sure my husband will not be her first victim that she would claw upon and take it to their kingdom. Ashewo omo! Omo alai nitiju! Oko oloko lo wun abi? Like father like daughter.’’
That was when Shade spoke up. she rarely did but the woman was passing her boundary and she wouldn’t watch her insulting her mother because there was no man to defend her.

Another reason why Chief had married other wives.

“abeg, park well ma! Ke de so ara yin gan!’’ She raised her hand to put the woman off. ‘’you come here making noise about my sister as if she pinned your husband to the Chair to seduce him. that your husband that goes about sleeping with girls before giving marks. You think he’s one saint or because I didn’t tell you he threatened me too when I was in school ba? Please, remove the log from your eyes before removing others you hear!’’

The woman swallowed saliva with difficulty before Bisi, the tomboy out of the girls present took over.

“your time here has expired, please leave.’’
“what? Me?’’ she looked at their mother. ‘’Mrs Williams, you allow your children to talk back at me anyhow’’

But the woman was too tired to talk back. She just watched the drama unfolding before her eyes.
Shade clapped after her. ‘’leave madam!! And go and face your husband.’’

The woman fumed and gave Shade the eye before grabbing her bag from the chair and storming out of the house.
Mrs Williams sighed while Afin closed the door which she had been peeping through and ran to her room pretending to be asleep.

Aunt Shade would come in anytime and that was another session of interrogation.

Aunt Shade would believe her. she always did. She was her best aunt because she was the only one that understood her and knew what she was capable of.
She would never sleep with another man’s wife, but she was capable of being the anonymous caller that called Mrs Adesami so that she could catch the man red-handed.

She chuckled into her pillow. Wait till the others came inside to hear the full gist.

An hour later, it was only Aunt Shade that came inside, but not with the others.

“you’re coming to live with me.’’ she had a straight face

Afin looked up in surprise. Something most definitely had gone wrong.
