Hadiza
The chirps of the morning birds woke me up, I yawned loudly. Stretching on the bed and wriggling my toes. I looked to the other side of the bed, Bayo wasn't there. I rolled my eyes, hissing lowly. Did that guy really apologize last night. If apologizing was like legal maybe we won't have securities or there won't even be a law, everyone can just apologize for their wrongs.
I got up from the bed and pulled a long shirt over my tank top. I padded barefooted all the way to the sitting room. I made a note to go and visit my dad today, my curious self can't wait to find out what he has been hiding.
"Good morning, Hadiza." Bayo called out smiling at me.
I nodded my head in response, looking away to find Abdul watching us.
"How was your night? Hope you slept well?" he asked.
Like, what was wrong with this guy, what is he trying to do. I Ignored him and walked towards Abdul, who
AbdulI felt highly relieved after vocally telling Hadiza how I felt. I have crossed one Ocean and I have two more Oceans to cross. Right now, I am looking for a way to approach Bayo. I need him to admit to me the reason why he married Hadiza in the first place. He has to tell me everything.I paced round the sitting room, impatiently waiting for Bayo to come out of the room. He just came back some few minutes back. This is the best time to confront him since Hadiza hasn't gotten back from her father's house.I heard the door of his room opening, and I became alert immediately."Bayo!" I called out, raising my voice higher, so he won't have any excuse of saying he didn't hear me call."Is there a problem?" he replied, eyeing me."There is no problem, but a problem will come up if you don't spill." I said angrily.
Hadiza"Along the way we both got attached and fell in love. I want to thank you for everything, Bayo. I would not have been opportuned to meet your brother if you didn't do all these shenanigans." I added, smiling widely.After I left my father's house, I came home directly, having it in mind to confront Bayo. But I got the shock of my life when I eavesdropped on him and Abdul's heated conversations. I heard everything, starting from the dare part. I didn't really know whether to feel elated or depressed over the revelation of all the things Bayo did."I will be sending the divorce papers soon." I said, walking out of the room and out of the house.******"A dare? I don't get." My dad said, scratching his stubbles.After I walked out of my house, I went directly back to my house, I couldn't stand a minute with Bayo, his presence alone was annoying and irritating
AbdulI tried to think of other matters, but thoughts of Hadiza intruded my mind, she has been running through mind like it was track lawn. She already has my heart, as I'm deeply in love with it. That woman, my woman was everything to me. I bless the day I met her.The fact that she would soon be here in my house made me dance around happily, like a child his parents just promised to throw a big birthday party for. I have decided to cross the remaining two oceans today, the first one is to ask her to be my wife and the second was to get married to her as soon as possible.Several months has passed away since Bayo left, he definitely signed the divorce papers before he left. But not without making sure Hadiza and her father forgives him totally. And they both did whole heartedly to my surprise, even though it was hard for both daughter and father, most especially
Darkness beffiting the quiet night, shinning little stars and then the full bright moon, that was what I could see in the dark sky. I was sitting on the pavement outside my house, a self contained apartment. I drummed my fingers on my laps as I hummed a familiar tune my grandmother taught me when I was still a child.As a little child, I loved listening to folktales under the moonlight, but now that I'm all grown up, I quenched my anger for good stories by reading novels. Yes, I am bookish. A bookworm, I love reading books, good books. Maybe that was what pushed me into writing, my passion for writing was something that grew up with me and also still lives within me. I look forward to being a well known writer like, Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie, the late legend; Chinua Achebe, Nnedi Okorafor, Wole Soyinka, Colleen Hoover, Ted dekker, Sidney sheldon, Dean Koontz and so many others.I don't think I have ever seen anyone who reads wi
ChiziteremI followed Mary, gingerly as she led. I noticed she was heading towards Principal Andrew's office and I knew it, something was definitely wrong. And I couldn't help but imagine what the problem was, maybe I'm in trouble.Everyone knows the principal for what he does. Principal Andrew's was the one who provides strategic directions in the school, he was the one who developed standardized curriculums and assesses we teacher's teaching methods and lesson notes.He monitor's student's achievement and encourages parent's involvement by creating a PTA board. He revises policies, procedures, and also administer's the school's budget. He was in charge of hiring and evaluating all staffs, making sure we all did our duties perfectly. Am I about to be sacked? Well it won't be a surprise, the christmas curse has started as usual.
ChiziteremThe day was beautiful after the bone chilling rain of last night. The sky was still looking beautiful. I got out of the uber car, admiring the clear blue sky.After I told Principal Andrews about my decision and requested for a sabbatical break like Kene adviced. He called me smart and granted my request immediately. So imagine the joy on my face right now. I was right in front of the Okorie's magneficieng mansion. The house was that huge. I even felt small, whoever designed or built the mansion really tried, it shows the inhabitants of the house lived an Ostentacious style of living.I knocked on the huge black gate at the entrance of the building."Who is there?" A deep voice called out."A visitor." I replied, rolling my eyes."Does the visitor not have a name?" The voice shouted, opening the gate.
The chirps of the morning birds roused me up from sleep. I yawned loudly, stretching myself lazily. I opened my eyes widely, closing it back immediately and opening it again. I couldn't recognize where I was, the room looked strange to me.where am I? Or have I been kidnapped?"Good morning." a voice called out, I jolted out of the bed."Calm down," Mr Okorie said, chuckling loudly. He was in a pair of grey joggers and a black sweat shirt. He sat comfortably on the nude oversized seater at the far end of the room."What am I doing here?" I asked, going back to sit at the edge of the bed."You don't remember?" he asked."Oh!" I said out loud, as everything that happened resurfaced."I should take my leave now." I whisphered, getting up from the bed."You actually look cute in your sleep." he said, smirki
I've been avoiding Mr Okorie for the past two hours, this mansion was warning me off or something. I silently prayed he doesn't come into the study room till I'm gone."Are you hiding from my dad?" Mary asked, raising an eyebrow."No," I replied, laughing awkwardly."Why would I?" I asked."I don't know, I'm just assuming." She replied,"There will be a party here tomorrow, I don't know if my father told you." she added.I didn't reply, I just shook my head in a negative response."Are you in love with my dad?" she asked all of a sudden."What! What gave you this idea? Like, I've known your dad for how many days now."She just stared at me without saying another word."You know what? Lets just resume today's work." I said, breaking off the silence.
