"Uhhh..Funke!I think you have a message!!"Said Mediatrix after dropping the paper. She just couldn't believe what was in scripted there was written to her. She thought that maybe,the messenger had written her name instead of Funke since she was into those kind of things. She had already made three boyfriends and she was about to have another.
"Hold on,I'm coming!"Her voice echoed.
After a few seconds,she stepped out of the bathroom with only a white towel wrapped round her. She also had a black net on her head.
"Yeah,what's up?"She asked
"Come and see this"She replied pointing to the items on the bed. She snatched the letter from Mediatrix and went through it before checking the back
"Ah..ah,but this has your name and description in it not mine. Abi can't you read again?"
"I know,but..but that's impossible. I mean, I don't even have a boyfriend and I get this on a valentines day morning?"She asked, raising the teddy bear.
"Hm,perhaps you have a secret admirer who wants to make your valentine special"said Funke reaching out for her cream.
"That's ridiculous,please don't add dramatic nonsense into reality. This isn't a theatre art class!"
"Did you see who brought you the message?"
"That's just the weird part. He just dropped the package and ran off. I wish I had gone after him"
"Stop worrying already,its no big deal. I'm sure it really is a secret admirer. All we have to do is to get you ready for your date with him at "Chef Poulet"tonight"she said corking the bottle of her cream
"Are you crazy or mad which one?how do you expect me to accept the invitation of someone whom I know nothing about?!!what if it is a kidnapper or...or a ro..."
"Shhhhhh.."She said tapping her lips"you're over reacting. Of all the girls in this school,why would the person choose to kidnapp or rob just you,abi are you rich?and besides,from the description he gave about you,I doubt you haven't met the person. Perhaps you just don't remember him...hold on,are you sure it isn't Tony?"
"Ha ha!as if Tony will have the time and money to take me out on a date to CHEF POULET of all restaurants"Mediatrix laughed again
"Whatever,listen just give it a try. I promise to make you look good"Funke said winking her right eye
"You don't seem disturbed about this whole thing. Rather you are encouraging me. Are you sure you don't know about this"She asked narrowing her eyes.
"Nooo!my hands are clean"Funke clapped her hands"just stop being suspecting and do as I say. If you don't go on this date,I will keep nagging you till you go deaf because it is for your own good!"
Mediatrix placed her hands on her ears and remembered Funke's nagging. Truly it was very annoying and deafening. She couldn't bear the thought of having a bout of it the whole day.

"Fine!you win..."

Episode 2
Mediatrix lay sound asleep on the bed dreaming of flying mansions and a money pool. She saw herself in her graduation uniform surrounded by her smiling mother and her kid sister hugging her and showering her with praises and then saw herself in suit working for a big firm. She could see herself attaining an award for excellence with hailing from the crowd. The person handing out the award to her was about to say something when a large "ko ko ko!!"Was heard from the background. She opened her eyes which were deep red.
"Jesus"she murmured.
She sat up,stretched and let out a big yawn. In her mind however,she was fuming. Why would someone wake her up from her sweet dreams. To her,dreams were a way of forgetting her problems. She often had good dreams and seldom had bad dreams. She cursed under her breath as she heard the knock again
"Who is that?!"She asked before wearing her flip-flops and headed for the door. She opened it but did not see anybody. However,she saw a red box tied with a pink bow. She looked left and right before slowly picking up the package. She walked inside and kept it on the bed. She saw a card attached to the bow and it read
"To Mediatrix"
She scoffed and slowly opened the box with little drops of sweat pouring out of her body. Finally,after what seemed like eternity,she finally opened the box and saw a brown teddy bear. Beside it was a little pink box shaPed like a heart. She opened it and saw little heart shaped chocolates. She smiled and kept it aside. She then saw a pink envelope beneath the package. She picked it up and opened it and read the poem inside it.
"They say pink is a beautiful color
But lie I say,I believe its black
Because that is who you are
Black and beautiful
So let me make your valentine a
Special one Black Beauty
Meet me at Chef Voulet restaurant tonight
I'll be waiting....."

You are welcome,thanks for the encouragement all!

Episode 1 continues
The next day,Mediatrix was seen stepping out of the hostel with a file that she was going through when she heard her name from the back
"Mediatrix!!"
She turned back and saw Tony walking towards her. Tony Bankole was an average in height and chocolate in complexion. He was handsome though not as handsome as Frank. He war a pair of glasses which only enhanced his innocent looks.
He was Mediatix's classmate back at secondary school and close friend. He even had a crush on her. He was his secondary schools senior prefect once while Mediatrix was his deputy. Coincidentally,when they found themselves in the same department,he became the departments president and Mediatrix his vice. He was very brilliant and committed to his studies.
"O,Tony,how far?"Mediatrix asked when he came to her
"I'm fine. Have you finished your project?"He asked
"No,I'm still onto it"she said as both began walking away
"Men,that professor Tunde is impossible. He hasn't even collected our first project which was difficult,and now he is giving us another hard one?what kind of teacher is that?"
"My dear,that isn't even my business. If he likes,let him give us all the projects and assignments in the world,I will still do them. All I'm interested in is securing my marks. He'll get his just reward eventually"
"Amen...men,this heat is vengeful today"Tony said as he brought out a pamphlet and began fanning himself.
Soon,they arrived at a junction to wait for the student bus. Soon,a blue toyota camry car parked in front of them. The engines soon stopped and the glass slowly winded down. Soon, a head popped out of it and it was Franks head
"Hello there,black beauty,do you remember me?"
He asked
"How could I forget prince Charming?"She asked sarcastically.
"Anyways,if you check you'll find out that the heat seems violent today. You wouldn't mind if I take you and your friend for a lift in my car,so as to save your skin all the trouble"
"Thank you,but I have transport money"she said tapping her bag
"Please let me help you,I don't really mind"
Tony glanced at her quickly before turning back to him
"Will you please just leave me alone?I've told you I'm not interested in your help,so stop bothering me!!"She spat.
Frank just sighed
"Ok,sorry for bothering you"
He drove away. After he had gone a little distance,Mediatrix looked at Tony who had his face crumpled and mouth agape
"Why are you looking at me like that?"She asked,slightly frightened and disgusted
"Do you know who that is?"He began"that's Frank Williams,son of mr Thomas Williams a popular pastor under Faith Wing pentecostal church. His parents have big time shares with Star Bank and are rumored to even own it. Plus,he's one of the biggest shots on campus. How do you know him?"
"I don't really know him,he just approached me at the canteen one day and offered to...hold on,how do you know all this stuff about him sef?"
"Duh!I'm more sociable than you. Listen,stay away from that guy. People like him just end up ruining others lives"he said pulling his ear
"Don't worry,I don't intend to ever know that guy,so cool your mind ok?"She asked with a smile and patted him on the back"you worry about me to much"
"Duh,because you have a tendency to always do something stupid!"And they both laughed...

Episode 1 continues
"Like finishing my university education before getting into a relationship. I don't have time for all this "lovey dovey"stuff right now.
"Lovey nko,dovey kni. Abegi go and sit down bo. Listen,you are a woman. No matter how you try,you can't run away from love. And besides,just because you are in a relationship,doesn't mean you can't excel in your studies. You're just being unnecessarily nerdy!"
"Whatever,let it be. Can we not talk about this now?I'm exhausted"said Mediatrix lying down.
"Hmph!priorities,as if you don't have any feelings for Tony!"Funke accused.
"Gosh!God forbid!I do not feel a thing for that guy!what makes you say that?"Mediatrix ask sitting up
"Because you are always with him. Isn't that enough reason?"
"As a matter of fact you pokenoser,Tony is just my friend. I feel nothing for him!can we just end this conversation right now,its leading no where!!ah ahh"
She hissed and lay back on the bed
"Ookkayy...ooo,miss priorities"she laughed and went to sleep.

Episode 1 continues
Frank stared at her as she walked on,mouth agape before grinning and walking away.
Mediatrix arrived the hostel very late. As she walked in she kicked her flat shoes away and sighed
"Wheeew!what a day!" She said.
Funke,her roommate who was punching her phone all along stared at her and grinned
"Madam,how far?"She asked.
Funke was a tall,fair and lanky lady. She had huge bulging eyes with plump lips. She was a lady who loved to go with the trends. Sometimes,people wondered how two people so unlike like Mediatrix and Funke were such close friends. They were not even in the same department. Funke was a theatre arts students while Mediatrix was a Banking and Finance students both at the Obafemi Awolowo university,Ile-ife. Anyways,they were still close friends and they didn't hide anything from each other.
"Very tired"she replied"its been from one lecture to the other"
"Toyin called me and told me she saw you talking with a hunk at the canteen today"
Mediatrix stood up and raided her eyebrows
"Hold on,Toyin was there?!and she didn't even make herself known to me?"
Funke shrugged her shoulders
"Anyways,who was that guy?"
Mediatrix lay back on the bed
"Meh,just some guy who approached me,no big deal"
Funke kept silence for a while
"Hmmmm,are you sure you don't have a boyfriend you're not telling me about?"
She sat back up
"You are crazy,you know that?"She asked"I don't have a boyfriend and don't intend to have one anytime soon. This is just my first year!"
"And so what?aren't you old enough?well,it would please you to know that I have a boyfriend"Funke said raising her phone up
"Well good for you,and it would also please you to know that both of us are not the same and therefore,I shouldn't be compared with you. And besides,I have priorities"
Funke scoffed
"Like what?"
"Like...

After munching her snack of sausages and a coke,she cleaned up her mouth and headed for the counter to pay when she heard a soft "hello"behind her. It was manly and deep. She turned her back and saw a huge manly figure. He was tall,dark and more than handsome. He had muscles all over his body with his chest puffed out. He was a bit hairy though but had all the qualities of a handsome guy.
Mediatrix looked at him for a while,a little aghast,but cleared her throat and tried not to look swept off over the mans goodlooks.
"Er...em,uhh,yes,how may I help you?"She asked with her head raised high
"I saw you from a distance"he said while pointing to his seat"you wouldn't mind if I pay for your meal, would you?"
Mediatrix chuckled before answering"thank you,but I can pay for my own meal,I'm alright by myself although I do appreciate your kind gesture"
"Are you sure?I don't really mind"and he got replied with a nod"o..kay,anyways,my name is Frank,and yours?"
Mediatrix looked at him from head to toe and vice versa before shaking her head and then standing up
"I'm sorry,but you don't have to.."She walked out and headed for the counter.

Thanks allll,but I'm tired today. I promise to continue tomorrow. Goodnight!

Episode 1
Mediatrix walked into the school canteen feeling exhausted. She headed over for the booth and ordered for a meal worth #300. Although it was her last card,she decided that she deserved it. Seven lectures with cranky lecturers at a stretch wasn't as easy as talking. She was very tired and decided to have a little refreshment before heading to the hostel. University life was difficult she usually thought as since she arrived,it has been from one problem to the other either financially or academically. Although she was an extremely brilliant of Banking and Finance in the university,and even her departments vice president,her poor background made life difficult for her as most of the time,she either wasn't able to buy a handout,or carry out a project. However,God was her strength and she had faith that her labor wouldn't be in vain.

I was a happy girl who got whatever she wanted. However,that all changed when I was 10yrs old. My father abandoned us to finally live with his long time mistress. It was a devastating period and my young mother began striving to make us survive. My happy life turned up side down. From then on,I was determined to make a difference and change my life. Until HE!

Sypnosis
She was born into a poor and broken home. She wanted to grow up and change her and her family's life for the better. Then he came along and swept her off her feet. Little did she know that,that one single man she met would change her life....forever

Ohhh!!this is wonderful!!I've fallen in love with the story already. Please,more ink to your pen!!!

Episode 2 continues
Weeks after that incident,Francis recovered a little. He was abel to open his eyes and move his hands. The only problem was that he couldn't talk very well and walking was impossible for him. We were teaching him though and he was able to grasp some things about our family although he had a little amnesia.
I was very happy at this point,I could feel my life go back to normal. I resumed work again though I closed early. Nelly also went back to school and to be honest,she was the happiest of us all. She was always talking about her dad and what she would do with him when he fully recovered. She talked everyday.
Despite all these,I was happy and relieved. I thought that the nightmare was over. Little did I know that it had just begun...

Episode 6 continues
I can't believe that all that was a dream. I was very happy and I wished I hadn't woken up. I could still feel a touch on my finger and I looked left. Lo and behold,there was Francis fully awake and struggling to pronounce my name. He was trying to get up. I sprang on my feet"Francis!!Francis!!!"I said and dashed outside calling the doctor. Some time later,a male doctor and I ran back into the room and he began to calm him down"Nurse Bisi!!"He yelled and the fat nurse quickly walked in holding a tray with some medicines on it. The doctor brought out an injection and pierced it in Francis' hand. Seconds later,he stopped struggling and closed his eyes in sleep. The doctor then used his setescope to check his heart beat and he gave a smile. He then faced me as I looked at him looking for assurance."Calm down madam,your husband is ok. He has come out of his comatose state. I think when he wakes up,he should be alright"he assured and I raised my hand and looked up in heaven"o thank God!!"I said and hugged the doctor"thank you doctor,thank you so much"I said in tears. He patted me on the back and left with his nurse. I sat beside Francis with tears of joy in my eyes...

Very interesting. Keep it up

Episode 2 continues
David was just eating his last plate of rice. He picked up his chicken and was just chewing it when he froze and left it dangling in his mouth. He raised his eyebrows and stared at the angel in front of him.
She was very tall and fair. She had a very round face and a pointed nose. Her eyes were big and innocent looking like a baby's and she had very small lips. She had chubby cheeks with curves to kill for. She was just to much in all directions,goddess of beauty.
Felix noticed his friend in a trance and drooped the bottle in his hand
"Abeg bros,you no wan eat your chicken again?"He asked and streched his hand. David shook his head
"Take am,I don find something better than food"he replied and pointed to the angel.
"Holy Hezekiah!apostles must hear this!!"Felix said and tapped Lanre,who was close to him,resting his head and battling the rioting sensation in his stomach
"Wetin!!"He asked angrily revealing his pure red eyes and miserable face. Felix ignored his angry mood and pointed to the angel. Lanre opened his mouth and released a silent fart.
"Who be that..chai!"He said
"See see see I see this one first so no try put that your chicken blood eyes there"David said
"Thunder ehhh..who tell you say you go get that fine girl?"Lanre asked. David just stood up
"Just cheregodu m first"he sPoke in igbo and stood up trying to make himself look presentable. He then wore a big smile and approached the angel who was with her friends...

Episode 2
The next day,the trio attended the wedding held at a nearby catholic church. After borrowing fine clothes that same saturday,they borrowed a car from a friend to make them look like big boys. On sunday,they drove to the church making so much noise and disturbing everyone's peace.
The wedding service was simple and short. However,David slept most of the way. He rarely came to church. He only went there if he was attending an event. Heck!he didn't even know the Lords prayer,a very poor christian indeed.
After the service,they attended the reception at a primary school. It was during the refreshment part of the wedding that they let out the beast in them. Felix ate up to three plates of rice and at least,six bottles of soft drinks. Lanre ate only two plates of rice and fufu with egusi soup which he gulped down with more than seven bottles of alcohol. David was the worst. He ate five plates of rice and three plates of fufu. He drank both soft drink and hard drink and went as far as mixing a bottle of '33'with 'mirinda'
. when a man noticed this massive gluttony,he approached him and tried to caution him but he got a slap in return which almost resulted to a fight. It was just awful...

ebubeval:
Hey stblessing,
Was surprised when you mentioned me cause I myself, am still trying to improve too, you know. So, I don't know how much help I may be able to give. Well as pointed out, there're some typos in your write-up. But that can easily be corrected. And, you could try adding a bit of suspense to the plot. Sorry, I can't be of much help now.

Thanks so much

Episode 6
I held his hand and we were skipping away happily. It was as if we were in heaven. I felt a strong feeling of joy in my heart as we were together. Soon,Nelly joined us and skipped with us to. She was beaming with smiles as she was in our middle feeling happy that mother and father were with her. She soon left us and Francis and I sat down on the ground to rest a while. It was indeed a beautiful place as we were surrounded by golden flowers,crystal trees and beautiful things which couldn't be seen on the earth. It was like the garden of eden but ten times better and happier than it. We were surrounded by angels and beautiful people who loved each other. There was nothing but joy,peace and love in the air. Francis and I sat on a hill opposite a magnificent waterfall. I sighed at its wonder. He soon placed his warm hand on mine and I looked at him. He was so pure and clothed in dazzling white. His face was glowing and his good looks only came out one hundred times more."Yes my love?"I asked when he placed his hand on mine"A...Ann...Anna"he tried to say my name but it proved to difficult for him"Ann..Anna...Anna"my name sounded louder and I soon released my hand



I opened my eyes...

We arrived at the hospital and I led Nelly to Francis" ward. As we were going,I could feel her shaking as she moved quickly. Immediately she saw her Father,lying helplessly on the bed,she ran to him and hugged him tightly. This was followed by a downpour of tears"daddy,its me Nelly your sweet angel"sweet angel was the pet name Francis gave to her"Daddy,I hope you can hear me. I don't want you to die. I want to take care of you when I grow up. Please don't do this to me. If you go,who will play Frisbee and other games with me?who will help me do my difficult assignments?who will advise me and teach me the right way? I miss you so much daddy,don't go. I really love you"she said and continued to cry. I was also soaked in tears. I didn't want the father of my daughter to go. Although they weren't blood,Nelly and Francis were like 5and6. Francis was closer to Nelly than I was. He loved her more than a daughter and treated her like a queen. They had a special bond that connected them and if death should take him away,the bond will be broken. I didn't want that. I wanted my daughter to feel something that I could not give her. A fathers care. I tasked Francis with the job and he did just that. Francis wiped away my tears. I wished he wouldn't go. I felt so diminished that I could loose another man. Another one.

Episode 5 continues
It was on a warm February afternoon. I was in my living room,sitting down on the couch and applying some make-up. I needed to. Those dark spots around my eyes and my reduced complexion made me look like a wretch. I needed to cover my misery.
I was still applying the make-up when Nelly and Ekaette barged in,and she was fuming mad. I was shocked and frightened. I wasn't excepting her. "Mommy!!"She yelled as she approached me,what was it this time?"Mommy!!"She yelled again"good afternoon too my dear daughter,may I know what your problem is this blessed afternoon ?"I asked sarcastically. She obviously ignored that"mommy!can you explain the reason why you never told me?"She asked,rudely"told you what?"I replied with a frown"that daddy was hospitalized!he was involved in a car accident!!"She said and I saw a tear. I dropped my kit,stood up and asked"who told you that?""It was my classmate. She said that she saw it on TV. Why didn't you tell me mommy?why did you keep it from me?"She said in tears. I bent my head and wiped my eye. I bent down and held her shoulder"Nelly baby,I'm sorry. I really didn't want you to get hurt with the bad news that's why I kept it from you. I.."I was cut off by Nelly"Forget it!can you just take me to him,please mommy"I nodded my head and cleaned her tears. I took her by the hand and we headed for my car...

Episode 5 continues
The weeks to come were filled with stress,visits and lots of prayer. When My mother in law heard that Francis was had an accident,she fainted on the spot and was rushed to the hospital. When she was revived,she began acting like someone who had already lost a loved one. I felt sorry for her. How could she loose her only child?
I wasn't finding it easy myself. I visited the hospital every single day. Thank God the management of the company granted me leave and told me to resume whenever
without my salary untouched. I went to churches,alfas even herbalists and spent a lot of money to those fraudulent human beings going about in the name of God. But because I was desperate,I visited more and more on daily basis. It got to a point where I stopped having enough sleep and rest. My diet wasn't on the good side either. I began to loose wait and I fell very ill but I didn't let that pin me down. Thank God for Naomi. She proved to be a true friend as she helped me with Nelly and with work even though she had problems of her own. She always encouraged me to fight whenever I seemed to loose hope. I was so grateful to have people like her around me...
