What? So the caller was not Evelyn, when would this boy stop his annoying pranks?
“Why did you hide your number?” she asked, he had nearly given her a heart attack.

“My number is not hidden joor, I called you earlier you did not pick, where are you?” he inquired.
“For your information your number is hidden. I’m in the hostel, what’s up?”
“I wanted to give you a material, can you come out?”

“Give me five minutes, I’ll meet you outside.”

—————–

“Sit down, I ought to be on my way to the shop. But we really need to talk.” Felicia said to her daughter while seating on the bed.
Omoye sat on a stool opposite the bed her mother sat on.

“Omoye, your father would arrive anytime soon. As far as I know the business meeting he went for ends today, don’t think I’m chasing you oh, I’m not.

I’m just bothered because it appears you are confused. I’m a woman and I know all is not well and your method of approach is equally wrong.”

“Erm, mummy I don’t understand…” Omoye replied.
“No no, don’t interrupt me just let me get my point across, its obvious you have issues with your ermm, do I call him your boyfriend or your husband now? Since he never came to ask for your hand in marriage?”

“Mama,”
“Don’t interrupt, I’m not proud of the mistake you made years ago and I’m equally not proud of how you are handling the situation now.”

She coughed and continued, “When life presents you with problems and challenges, running away from them is not the solution. Stand and confront your problems, confront your fears. Something tells me this has to do with another woman.”

“Who told you mummy?” she asked, she had not expected to start the day with this mother to daughter talk but it seemed something good would come out of it.
“I thought I asked you not to interrupt, nobody told me anything. Let me tell you a secret, when you were about six years old, your father started acting strange,” she sighed and shook her head.

Omoye looked at her mother, why did her mother’s eyes look like the lacrimal glands were full and ready to secrete? Did her father cheat on her mother in the past?
“Mummy, I want to know, please tell me” she said while sitting beside her mother on the bed, it would be better if she did not see her mother’s tears.

Felicia sniffed, “Of course, I’ll tell you. I discovered your father was seeing another woman, the day I found out I left the house and went to my mother’s place. My father was late, but thank God for your grandma, may their souls rest in peace.”

“Amen,” Omoye replied, if her ears were functioning properly, it meant she was applying the same tactics her mother applied years ago. Blood was really thicker than water.

“You see, my mother sent me back immediately, she told me I was being foolish by allowing another woman gain complete access to my man. If something is yours, you fight for it, you don’t run away from your problems. If you run, no matter how long you stay away from the problem, it will still remain a problem until you take care of it.”

Omoye nodded, she was really being foolish. What if it was the lady that was seducing Osagie? Or what if Osagie had decided to have fun in Lagos? She did not know what really happened, all she knew was that it hurt so much that another woman had gained access to her man.

“Omoye, I should have sent you back that first day like my mother did, but I’ve missed you, I saw it as a good opportunity for me to spend time with you and my grandson. Just think things through and know that you have the power to choose, whatever choice you make, it is entirely upto you.”

She stood from the bed and adjusted her wrapper, “One more thing, all my friends have gone for their children’s wedding. You are my only child, please give me the joy of seeing you properly wedded. I’m off to the shop, I’ll see you when I get back.”

Felicia picked her purse which was on the table and carried a blue nylon bag, she checked the standing mirror to see if her scarf was still in place.
She was about to leave the room when Omoye spoke,

“Thank you Mama,” she turned and smiled at her daughter while nodding slightly.

Omoye lay on the bed, she had switched off her phone for days, Osagie would be worried in Lagos and he did not even know she knew about his two-timing, she brought out her phone from her bag and switched it on.

Minutes later, she received a text from Rosie. What? Osagie was in Benin? When did he arrive? And Rosie had told him about her visit to Lagos?

She was thinking of a way to address the whole mess when her phone began to ring.
Well, speak of the devil, Osagie was calling her, pressing the green button suddenly became a herculean task, what would she tell him over the phone?

She was still contemplating on picking the call when it ended, she sighed, it was better they talked later. Minutes later her mother’s words came to mind, face your problems.

Enough of the running, she picked her phone and dialled Osagie’s number.

She was going to get her man back.

*to be continued*

Well said

KingzPen: If I were in your shoes, I would create a thread, name it 'My Short Stories.' Then, I post any short story I have subsequently on the thread to give it the kind of attention I want.

This is possible if and only if you really mean to keep writing short stories because you cannot just post a short story today and after one month post another, this wouldn't improve one as a writer and also wouldn't achieve the aim of creating the thread.

My little advice, create a thread then inject all your short stories there anytime anyday you want...

*continued*

The thought of going to Omoye's parents house scared the hell out of Osagie, things would have been easier if Omoye was happy with him.

At least he now knew the reason behind her attitude to him, this Sandra issue had totally complicated his life, he now had so many tasks.

He had to apologise to Omoye, he had to beg her parents. What if she had informed her parents? That would indicate that there was fire on the mountain. And besides he had to find a way to break up with Sandra.

He took his phone and dialled Omoye's number, he would keep trying till luck decided to smile on him.
The attempt was futile as the operator informed him that the number was not reacheable.

He made a second attempt, this time he was lucky as the phone rang, he prayed she would pick up. Maybe today was not his lucky day, he sighed as he ended the call, she still was not picking his call.

He wanted her back, he had been foolish to make a mistake in Lagos and if he had the chance, he would rectify his mistakes, see what the quest to make quick wealth had done to his relationship.

He leaned back against the chair while resting his head, he would keep calling her till she picked the call.

"You abiii?" The man flogged him again.
"I'm sorry sir," he begged while trying to rub his back where he was flogged.

The man did not stop but kept on flogging him, all his pleas, screams and cries fell on deaf ears. He was to weak to even stand and run away, the man kept flogging him with so much energy and gusto.

With each stroke that landed on his skin, Osagie thought his breath would disappear from him, but it seemed his body chose otherwise. The man however kept flogging him, when the cane broke Osagie felt joy gladden his weak bones, at last the man would stop with the punishment.

But to his utter dismay, the man brought out a pistol,
"Since the cane is slow and ineffective. Let me just teach you a lesson you'll never forget." he said while cocking the gun.

Osagie hid his face, "please sir, I beg you, forgive and forget. I'll marry your daughter in the proper way, I'll be a good son-in-law."

He kept on begging and making promises, if Omoye's father was bent on ending his life then he was truly dead. Was this how he was going to die? He had dreamt of the day he would walk down the aisle with Omoye. But things had fallen apart, every of his plans had totally shattered.

Where was Omoye? She should come and beg her father on his behalf, why was the man even wasting time to pull the trigger? He looked up and saw that Omoye was kneeling before her father with tears in her eyes.

The man had then pocketed his gun and left, Osagie crawled towards Omoye and hugged her,

"Please, forgive me, I made a mistake and I'm sorry, please." he kept on crying, she was not saying anything but the fact that she kept quiet and hugged him back was enough.

The ringtone of his phone woke him from his dream world, with the rate at which he was dreaming nowadays he would beat the record of Joseph the dreamer.

He looked at his phone, Omoye was calling, was he still dreaming or was he finally awake?

---------------------

"Dami?" Dare shouted, "Hanhan, what's going on here? Why are you fighting your best friend?"

Dami just stood looking fierce, she used her hands to wipe away the saliva on her face. She had mixed feelings, a part of her was happy that brother Dare had come to her rescue while another part of her wished she had gotten extra time to beat Evelyn.

She looked at Evelyn who was packing her bags, stupid girl she thought.

Dare looked at the two girls in front of him, he asked a question and none of them was providing an answer, why would Dami fight her best friend?

He walked up to Dami, "Dami what happened?"
Dami who had been acting strong suddenly burst into tears, how would she explain to her cousin.

Evelyn hurriedly took her bags and sandals and ran out of the sitting room.

Dami just kept on crying, Dare who was confused just simply embraced her, he did not know what transpired but he knew children and teenage fights resulted from nasty issues. Hopefully they would settle when the time came.

Tinu had then come into the picture when Evelyn and her mother kept on tormenting her.
She had no idea what Tinu had done to them but the problem of Evelyn troubling her had been settled.

That was the last time she saw Evelyn, the girl had transferred to another school months after and now she was back to torment her life.

She looked at Chinaza's cousin who still had her head buried in a magazine.

Her phone started to ring again, it was still a private number.
She was infuriated, Evelyn seriously needed to free her.

"Evelyn, would you free me?" she shouted

"Ehn? Who is Evelyn?" the caller asked.

I'm done writing...just to post...I hope u enjoy it

Larry-Sun:
Rough review.

However, there is an error you need to correct in the former post. The word should be 'okada rider' not 'okada driver'.

You should know that my reviews are only rough. The work still requires some professional scrutiny.

Keep up the good work. The more you write, the better you become.

Shalom.

thanks sir, despite the fact that they are rough I've learnt a lot and the goal is to get better, thank you.
