Thanks for the update

Episode 3
The days that followed were filled with silence and coldness. Gift didn't do her work cheerfully as she normally did and as a result, was usually clumsy and slow. Rose noticed her friends sudden character and tried her best to talk her out of it, but it seemed she was pouring water on a rock. Gift was hurt, deeply.
Rose spent days trying to figure out how to make her friend happy when an idea struck her one day. She remembered that Gift had always dreamed of going to the university and studying her dream course. She was able to finish secondary school, and even had a WAEC and JAMB result. She had gotten admission into the university but rejected it because she couldn't afford it. She figured that if given the chance to go back to school, she would be happy and forget about her current misery.
Later in the night, she visited Gift in her room for a conversation. Gift was having a shower when she arrived. She stepped out, clad in a towel and saw her friend waiting for her on the bed.
"Hi Gift" she said with a smile on her face.
"Hey Rose" she responded slowly as she headed for the cupboard.
"oh common, don't tell me that guy has also affected your response to greetings as well?"
She sighed.
"Anyways, do you remember waist me about your dream of going back to school to do accounting?"
Gift turned to her and raised a brow before nodding.
"Great, I was just thinking, what if we make that dream a reality?"
Gift turned back to the cupboard and Rose could hear her chuckle for the first time.
"You're kidding me, right? how can an old woman like me, who's even supposed to be graduating by now, fathom going back to school. Don't make me laugh, abeg"
"But I'm serious. Age is just a number, there is no age limit for getting a proper education. Besides, you don't even look a day over sixteen, no one would notice your age. neither will they care!"
"And how do you expect me to use my merger income to fund university education? Give me a break, Rose"
"Don't worry about that, I'm gonna tell dad about it tomorrow and I'm sure he'll gladly welcome the idea"
Gift kept silent for a while and scratched the back of her head.
"I don't know, Rose....."
"Oh common, please don't refuse, it'll do you good" she stood up and held her by the shoulders.
"Look, I don't appreciate you sitting down here and wallowing away your time because of some goon. You deserve better than that. Just trust me and try my idea. I promise you won't regret, okay?"
She sighed and closed her eyes.
"Fine"
" Awesome, we'll tell dad about it tomorrow, so get ready, okay? "
She nodded and Rose walked out. She fell on her bed and for the first time in a while, smiled before closing her eyes in sleep.

Thanks for the update.

No shii babe, we got you

The next day was a Sunday. People had just returned from the Sunday services and had been observing the day of rest. Susan and George were both sitting at their beautiful and richly decorated balcony located at the back of the house. They had been enjoying the evening breeze and the beautiful sunset. George was having fun with his new smartphone and Susan was reading a copy of 'Cosmopolitan', both of them, deep in their activities. Soon, Rose and Gift joined them and disrupted the quiet.
"Hey dad, hey mum" Rose greeted as she closed the door. Gift also greeted.
"Hey sweetie, have you watched this comedy? Akpan sent it to me yesterday and I can't stop watching"he laughed.
Rose bent down and watched an old and stale episode of Mark Angel comedy. By the end of the episode, George threw his head back in laughter. Rose just turned to Gift and gave a wry smile.
" You didn't find that funny, did you?" George asked in realization.
Rose shook her head " Sorry dad, but Mark angel is sorta out dated. Its for kids, I prefer mature comedy "
Susan giggled before turning to him.
"See, I told you"
George sighed and tucked the phone in his pocket.
"Anyways, dad, there's an important issue I'd like to talk to you about"
"Go on"
"You see, Gift and I talked about it the other day, and, after much deliberation, she's decided to go back to school, university to be precise"
George widened his eyes. "Really Gift?"
"Actually sir, it was all her idea" she responded nervously.
"And you're sure you wanna go?"
"Sure as hell dad" Rose cut in "She has an excellent WAEC result and even got admission once but couldn't afford to go. But now, since she's working for us, why don't we help her?" she asked innocently.
George rubbed his beard in silence for a while before turning to Gift.
"What do you think Gift, do you want to really go back to school?"
She nodded nervously. "Its been my dream Sir ”
"Well then, if that's the case, I think we should go for it''
The two girls shrieked and hugged each other in excitement.
"Excuse me George?" Susans voice echoed thus breaking the moment.
"Did you bother to ask how I feel about this stupid idea?"
"There's nothing stupid about the idea" George said calmly "The girl wants to go back to school and achieve her dreams, we can't tie her down you know"
"I don't care, she can achieve her dreams without us, we're not her parents for Christ's sake!" she paused for a while and turned to the two girls.
"And you Rose, since when did this friendship start, ehn?"
"Since she started work here!" Rose said matter-of-factly.
"And you didn't even bother to tell me?"
"Enough of this drama Susan, please don't start now, I'm very tired" George interrupted.
"No George, you are the one being dramatic here, you're forgetting what this girl put us through, why are you being unnecessarily sentimental?"
"That was long ago Susan, forget it already!"
"That was just last week!!!" Susan said surprisingly.
"Stop it mum!! you're being too childish!!" Rose cut in again.
"Oya nunu, Go on, gang up on me, I'm not the one being childish here. Make her your daughter if you want, I don't care!!!!" she hissed and stormed out.
George just sighed and rubbed his temple after she left.
"I don't believe it,mum can be such a drama Queen sometimes" Rose angrily said.
"Mr George, if helping me will cause problems between your wife, I don't mind you changing your mind"
"No Gift I'm not changing my mind. You are my employee and thus, its my responsibility to take you in as my own, and support you in any way I can. I'm gonna make some calls and find out what you can do to get an admission. I promise to get back to you".
" Thanks dad" Rose jumped and hugged her father accompanying it with several kisses all over his face.
Gift smiled and prostrated. "Thank you sir"


Susan slammed the door behind her and rested on it. She was breathing heavily and her eyes were filled with nothing but anger and rage. She couldn't believe that her husband had become such a sissy. And Rose was best friends with her? No, it couldn't happen. She wouldn't let a gold digger like her, climb up and have a place in her family where she didn't belong. She wouldn't let a mere maid ruin her family. She kicked the nearby plastic chair down and stormed out of the room in rage.

Well done OP

"We need to talk!!" Susan cried as she slammed the door of Roses room. Rose just looked up from the book she was reading and rolled her eyes.
"About what?"
"Whats really going on between you and that Gift, ehn"
"Ummm, we're friends, is there a problem with that?"
"Of course there is, you can't just be friends with every Tom and Harry that comes your way, she's a freaking maid for Gods sake!!!"
"So, she doesn't deserve friends, she's not a human being, is that it?"
She sighed and then responded.
"Look, poor people like Gift don't deserve any friends. They are gold diggers. They will use you and then dump you when they are true with you, try and understand!!"
"Rubbish mum, dad was poor before you married him, did he dump you? Aren't you happy with him?"
Susan kept silent.
"Exactly! look mum, you don't come telling me who and who not to make friends with. I'm an adult now so I know what I'm doing. I am free to even make friends with a mad man and there's nothing anyone can do about that, okay? Use the door when you're done starring at me!!"
She hissed and sat down. Susan was breathing heavily by the time she was done. She couldn't say anything else. She turned and left the room, slamming the door behind her. She saw Gift in front of her room door. She probably heard everything that went on. She walked to her with fire in her eyes.
"You better hope that you're not playing around with my daughter, because if I find out that you hurt her, I will make you pay" she whispered before hissing and storming away. Gift just shook her head in disbelief.
"Rich people sef" she muttered.

Episode 4
Gift vividly remembered the first day she resumed school at the Imo State university, as a Business Administration Student. She remembered her first lectures, and the occasional glances she received from some students. It was probably because of her age, she thought, even though she was sure that she wasn't the oldest student in their midst. She was shy and filled with thoughts, and she barely paid attention in class. Nevertheless, she was happy because for the first time, she was in a lecture hall listening to lectures. She forgot all about Uchenna and the misery that came with meeting him. It was all thanks to George, who had assisted in funding her entrance exams and her admission fees. She was also very grateful to Rose, who had brought the idea up.

After lectures that day, she waited for Rose to pick her up, in front of a huge mango tree that was planted not too far from the Administration Block. She waited patiently for her friend, and was just about to sit down on the root of the tree when she spotted Roses purple painted Lexus jeep trotting down. She smiled and stood straight. Rose parked and Gift sped in the front seat.
"Hey Gift,"
"Hi Rose"
"So, how was your first day?" she asked as she began driving again.
She sighed "It was OK, I guess. I couldn't really pay attention in class"
"Why not?"
"Because people kept staring at me like I was some alien. I told you I was too old to go back to school" she explained sadly.
"Oh come on, don't be ridiculous. I'm sure you're not the oldest jambite amongst them, people start school when they're in their sixties. They were probably admiring you for your beauty. Just stop worrying about what other people think about you and face your studies, thats what you're here for, okay?"
Gift smiled and nodded her head. Just then, her stomach began to grumble.
"Me to, let's go to the canteen for a snack before we head home. I'll introduce you to my friends from there"
She detoured and drove to the school canteen, not to far from the back gate. They walked in and saw Doris and two other very pretty girls, gathered at one table. She held Gift by the hand and walked to them.
"Hey girls, what's up?" she asked them , beaming.
"Hi Rosie" Doris responded and eyed Gift "And who is she supposed to be?"
"She's the friend I was telling you about. Gift, meet Doris, Michelle and Sandra. Girls, Gift" she introduced and all of them, except Doris, waved at her.
"Anyways, I'm gonna get us some snacks, while you guys should know yourselves better" she said before walking out. Gift shyly sat down when she was gone. The four girls kept silent for a while before Doris broke it.
"So,who's daughter are you?"
"Hm?" Gift looked confused.
"I mean like, who's your father? what does he do?"
" My father is dead. He was a farmer"
Doris turned to her friends with confusion all over her face.
"Hold on, how did you meet her then? ”
"I'm a maid in their house"
"What!!!" all three girls cried at the same time.
Just at that moment, Rose came to them with a tray in her hands.
"Hold on Rose, you brought your maid into our group? What happened to the 'no slum' girl policy?" she asked gesturing with her fingers.
"The last time I checked, I was the one who made the rules.... and this group as well, so I'm free to bring in whoever I want okay? I hope you guys wont bug her" Rose warned.
Doris dropped her jaw in shock.
"You can't do that!!"
"Can't I?"
Just when the argument was rising, Edwin and his gang came into the canteen and joined the agitated girls.
"We'll talk about this, later" Rose whispered to Doris.
"Hey girls" Edwin greeted and sat down on the free bench that was close to the window. His gang joined him.
"Hi babe" he greeted and kissed Rose on the cheek. Rose smiled at him.
Just then, his eyes caught the ebony black beauty that wore a tight fitting gown, knee level gown that sat next to Michelle. The gown didn't fail to bring out her sexy attributes, her big boobs and her perfect figure eight. At that moment, he forgot all about Rose and fixed his eyes on the gorgeous damsel. Finally, he spoke.
"And who is that beauty over there?" he asked pointing to Gift.
"Oh, that's my friend Gift, the one I told you about"
"Hi" Gift greeted.
"Hi. It's a pleasure to meet you" he was about to stretch his hand for a handshake when Rose kicked him.
"Thanks" Gift said and continued eating her meatpie.
The group of friends talked, laughed and had fun until the day was about to draw to an end . All throughout, Edwin had his eyes fixated on Gift. Sometimes, he would lick his lips in lust. He didn't know however that Doris had caught him on several occasions and became alarmed.
"That girl is no good. I need to get rid of her" she thought.
Meanwhile, Edwin had already concluded in his mind.
"No, I will not let this one pass me. I must have her" he thought and smirked.

Nightfall finally drew in, and Gift and Rose were heading home. Rose saw her looking out the window and chuckled. Gift turned to her.
"What's that?"
"Nothing, I just wondered how you were able to keep quiet while Doris was insulting you. Its sooo unlike you"
Gift hissed "Abeg, I did it just because of you. On normal days, that witch would have gone home with a sand filled mouth, then she'll see a real village girl, nonsense"
Rose threw her head back in laughter.
"Oh Gift, you can be something else sometimes"
"I haven't even started"
This time, both girls laughed at the same time.

WO, Edwin or whatever you call yourself, stay back oooo, I'm warning you! By the way, those girls are stunning Blessing!!!

Thanks for the update sis.

Edwin want to cause trouble for Gift now. If Rose finds out she might hate her.

Episode 5
He tapped the steering wheel of his car slowly and took another quick glance at his watch. It read 3:30pm. He sighed. What was he doing there anyways? How was he sure she was going to come out there and meet him? Would she even like to see him?

These were the questions that filled Uches thoughts as he patiently waited for Gift inside his car. He had been there for two hours straight now and was starting to get tired. Earlier that day, he had gone to the Okoye mansion to see her and talk to her. He had made this decision some weeks after their encounter. At first, he thought he wasn't ready to meet her and make things up but eventually, he summoned courage and decided to talk to her. He visited them and Yahaya informed him that she was attending IMSU. When he arrived, he showed some students her picture, which he had kept on his phone even after their break-up, and those who recognized her told him that she usually waited for her best friend under a huge mango tree that was along the school drive way. That was where he had been waiting for her since two hours ago, and he hadn't seen even a shadow of her. He was frustrated.
Just when he was about giving up and driving again, he saw her approaching the tree with another short, fat and chocolate complexioned girl. She looked different from the last time he met her, more graceful and angelic, with her long Ghana braids and her simple make-up. He lightened up, took another look at the mirror, and picked up the bouquet of flowers that lay on the seat next to him. He opened the door and approached the two Ladies.
"I don't know Gift, I think the lecturer was the one at fault here" said Genevieve, the fat girl with Gift.
"But the girl shouldn't have picked a fight with him, she deserved what she got if you ask me" Gift pointed out as she made to sit down. Just then, she heard someone call out her name, a familiar voice. She froze.
"Ngozi, how are you?" Uche asked as he approached them.
"What are you doing here?" she asked after she turned to him.
"I need to talk to you Ngozi, please"
"There's nothing to talk about Uche, you already made known how you feel about me, two years ago. What more do you want?"
"Ngozi please, I know it was all a set up. My mother deceived me"
"I told you didn't I, did you believe me? No, instead you called me all sort of disgusting names and treated me like trash!"
"Ngozi, please forgive me, I'm sorry" he went on his knees.
"No,I will never forgive you bastard! Better stand up if you know what is good for you!"
She turned to leave but he was adamant. He tried to hold her back but kept protesting. This attracted some passersby. Just at the heat of the struggle, Edwin and his gang arrived out of nowhere. He charged for Gift and dragged her away.
"What the bleep do you think you think you're doing with my babe?''
Gift became shocked at the question and turned to him with a confused look. Uche was also confused and turned to her but she kept staring at Edwin.
" Are you deaf? I asked why you're harassing my girlfriend?" he asked again and put his hand over her waist. She became red hot in embarrassment.
"Ngozi?" Uche called her but she just turned away. He frowned and turned to Edwin.
"Get your filthy hands off her!!"
"Come and make me!"
At that, he couldn't take it anymore. He lurched forward and landed him a powerful punch which took him aback. Edwin's gang soon held him back and gave him a barrage of punches and kicks. Edwin soon signaled his attackers and they held Uche by both sides. He approached them and began landing him his own version of punches and kicks until he began to bleed. Finally, Gift could no longer take it. At first she was enjoying it, but when she saw blood coming out of his nose, it stabbed her heart.
"That's enough!" she finally said. They stooped and turned to her. "I think he's learnt his lesson" she said softly this time.
Edwin turned to Uche "Thank your lucky stars, motherfucker, you would have been sorry" he muttered. He turned away and held Gift by the hand before leaving.
Uche just lay there, unconscious, with different people around him. They thought of sending him to the hospital. Eventually, he slowly stood up, holding his left arm.
"Sir, should we take you to the hospital, are you alright? a concerned girl asked.
" I'm fine, thank you " he said, with pain all over him. He began heading for his car.
"Can you drive?" she asked
He slowly nodded, opened his car and drove away in defeat.

YoungBruzzy:


Wait ooo, are you really from Kano state or that one na saka manje
