Thunder struck as Rosela is laying on her bed covering her body up with a blanket shivering. The cold midnight breeze was too much as rain was about falling. Rosela lays on the bed thinking of how the upcoming promotional examination would be like. Her greatest fear on the upcoming examination was to write Mathematics as she didn't know much on that particular subject. Kwensa and Anuella was also catching cold in their own rooms. Amunsa on the other hand couldn't sleep from the room. He tried getting up from the bed to be with Rosela but it wasn't easy for him as Dansanisa was all over him that night because of the cold weather breeze that was penetrating into the room. Dansanisa woke up opening her eyes lightly as Amunsa was trying to get her hands off his chest. "Honey where are you going to" she asked. "Ah... To the bathroom" Amunsa replied getting up from the bed to the bathroom. Dansanisa pulled up the bed blanket to cover herself while calling her husband to come out fast f
Buttoning up shirt in readiness to go out as usual. Amunsa never for once thought of getting a job of his own in order to help Dansanisa in some of the house needs.Dansanisa got upset on him always going out to drink with his friends. Ever since Arthur died, Amunsa stopped working with those drugs dealers. He now stays at home without doing anything."Honey, are you going out today again? She asked. "Yes of couse sweetie, any problem"? He asked. "Yes" she said looking at him standing. "Whatsup, what is the problem?" Amunsa asked sitting down on the bed with Dansanisa. "Can we talk for a while please " she asked. "Absolutely honey" he said caressing her cheek. "It's about you getting a job honey. This heavy load I'm carrying is really killing me" she said lightly with him. Amunsa sigh, lowering his face down. "So what are you saying now, that I'm a burden to you?" he said wearing a wired face. "No honey, I didn't say that. All I'm saying is that, you should try looking for a
The evening cold wind swipped smoothly across Rosela's window room. The once clear sky was gradually being covered by dark clouds.The crickets started to chrip for signal and welcome the slowly dying day. Birds flew to their respective nests from tree to tree to avoid being caught out in the dark.Rosela sat outside with so many thoughts running through her innocent mind. She thought of how cold that night would again be as she had already washed her bed blanket. She assumes that, if Anuella was in good terms with her, she could have just walked through her room and borrowed one from her since she has two of the bed blanket and save herself with worries. She wish her father was still alive to coddle her like a baby to sleep, to twirl her curly hair pushing it out of her face from covering her face in order not to disturb her from having a good night rest. Cab drove by, wanting to drop a passenger when the front light of the car, while reversing, pointed at her and entered her e
6am and Amunsa is already awake fixing the jerking television mount. He uses hammer to bang on it as he positioned the nails on the affected area. The sound of him continually banging the television mount awakens everyone in the house. Dansanisa yawn getting up from the bed. "Who is disturbing my sleep". She said while stretching her hand to look for her hand watch. She grab it and check the time with her eyes still half close. "What, its already six?"she said and got up from bed to not finding her husband. She thought that Amunsa could be the one banging something in the sitting room. She rushed out to meet him as Amunsa was already looking all sweaty. "Hey honey, you are awake"? He said. She yawn. "Why didn't you wake me up, it's six already and I've not even started making breakfast yet" she said still feeling a little sleepy. She sat down on the couch, resting her head on the couch with her eyes still half closing. She was still feeling sleepy and weak."Oh, I'm sorry honey
Today is Monday and it's marks the beginning of the starting day of Examination at Wisdom Expand Secondary school. Students are arranging chairs in preparation for examination. Sandi, Katie and Rosela are already sitting on their chair discussing on how the exams would be like. Sandi kept on starring at Rosela as he thought of the appropriate time on how and when he would explore his feelings to Rosela while he said to himself. "I will tell her immediately after our exams no matter what, I will gather courage anyhow to let her know" he said to himself silently. Rosela asked when she noticed Sandi's quietness" Sandi are you okay" she asked. Sandi lost it when Rosela asked him lightly" I'm... Fine Rosela but they is something, a very important thing that's has been bothering me". He said. At point, Sandi never believed that he actually said that to Rosela. It's was fast and he was planning on telling her after the examination."Just say it Sandi" she said still holding him. At th
Today is Friday and the last day of Examination at Wisdom Expand Secondary school. As usual, the bell rang for assembly and all the present student are moving to the hall for their normal morning devotion. Rosela and her friend, Sandi and Katie moves also to that direction when Mr Solomon, their mathematics teacher called her out to his office. She left Sandi and Katie to answer Mr Solomon's call as she walked through the direction of his office were he was standing. "Goodmorning sir" Rosela greeted. "Yes Rosela, come inside" he asked showing her in. "Rosela walked without any fears knowing that if at all he tries anything stupid, she will scream to the hearing of everyone in the school. The principal address the student again and gave them a word of advice. "I was here the first day you started this examination and I hope you all have done well enough especially those that are in the finals getting ready for the senior school leaving certificate " he asked. In unism all the s
Sandi walked leisurely to Rosela's house to let out his feelings for her since there had already done with their exams. He thought of how Rosela would take it when he told her of his feelings. Sandi thought of how he will say it to her as he walked by the road side kicking spoilt orange like a one year old child.He prayed for Rosela to give him a positive answer as he would die if she says no to him. Sandi had a flash back concerning his father's tragedy love story he told him when he was ten. His father jack Husborn, in his youthful days fell in love with a beautiful and most intelligent girl in his school Funmi Oman without her knowing it. Funmi who on the other hand kept watching and hoping that one day Jack will say something meaningful to her, something that will swept her off her feet, something that will make her not to sleep at night but wants to see him all the time to fell and touch him all through the night without any wink of sleep around her eyes. He never knew that
Turning upside-down on the bed finding it difficult to sleep. It's was already 1am in the morning and Rosela wasn't at this time sleeping. She kept on remembering the sweet and bold words Sandi said to her the previous day. FLASH BACK ON SANDI'S WORD. "I love you Rosela, yes. I love you so very much with every bones in my body I do". She remembers as she held her head. She uses her hands to blind off her eyes to see if she could catch up some sleep but she couldn't as she kept on turning upside-down, left to right on the bed. When she couldn't take it anymore, she stretch out her hands on her bedside to reach for her phone. She found it and immediately put a call through Sandi's phone at 1:20am in the morning. PHONE RINGS.... The loud ring tones of Sandi awakens him just when the call entered. Sandi answered the phone without bothering to check the callers identity as his was still closing. He answered the phone call lightly still sleeping "Hello who is this" he said. Rose
