Dear Lord, please be kind to me and let fate smile on me when I embark on my journey to serve my fatherland. May I not come out empty-handed, Amen

'Life can be very cruel at times. Why else would the rich keep getting richer while the poor get poorer? Why do good things always follow people who have been privileged to be born beautiful naturally while some have to struggle to look good and yet get the left overs? ' Chioma sat thinking to herself. Her friend Sophie had the perfect life . She had a rich boyfriend who was paying her fees and getting her all the nice stuffs, to worsen it all now she's pregnant for him despite her past abortions and even engaged to him, imagine!
When she had heard of the pregnancy, she was happy because she thought it would be the deal breaker for her friend so she had quickly called segun telling him of how Sophie planned to use the child to trap him down but no, the plan had backfired instead the idiot proposed to her!
A knock interrupted her thoughts and then Sophie came bustling in.
'ah ah, you didn't go for lectures again?' Sophie asked
'no, i wanted to finish that okoros assignment first' Chioma replied
' it's true oo, Abeg do for two' Sophie said as she started throwing some clothes into her bag
'where u dey go?'
' I'm going to my fiancés place for the weekend'
'Hia, so it's now my fiancé no more segun abi? Okay oo.... I go love ooo' Chioma said laughing
' free me jare' Sophie said laughing 'where is Rita sef?'
' she just stepped out'
'Okay, tell her I'm out for the weekend' She said as she added a few personal effects to the bag and then zipped it up.
'Oya oo, my regards to segun oo, our fiancé. Bring goodies when you're coming back oi'
'sure thing' Sophie replied 'how far you and tolu na, you no longer talk about him'
'Abeg leave that one jare, that one na Bleep boy. I wonder how such a person could be seguns friend. They are as different as night and day'
'give me gist na' Sophie enquired ' Wetin happen?'
' nothing serious, the guy is just not s... Asin he's not caring jare. Doesn't know how to take care of a lady Abeg leave that one jare. Ehe kelvin came to look for you'
' when will he give up? He should leave me jare, since second year till now final year.' she picked up her bag and checked her watch ' Bae, catch ya. Gotta run now
' Okay dear, bye '
