"Angela..!" He shouted as he ran inside.Seeing an antiquated white fabric in one corner, he took it to shield himself from the heat. As he shouted out their names, there was no response from either Angela or Margaret. He searched tenaciously, being conscious of the burning roof that was falling and the furniture on fire.As he moved nearer to where they were lying, he called unto them again."Help us!" Angela gave an inward shout. She was fading.Siting them, he ran immediately to where they were lying; and gave them leverage from the influence the logs of wood had on them.He helped both of them up as they set to leave.Seeing another archaic bleached fabric nearby, he ran quickly to get it, surrendering the one he was using to them.Ignorantly for Angela, a part of the roof was about to fall at the exact point she stood.Margaret seeing it pushed her away to the ground only for the roof to fall on her instead. She died on the spot and was flamed up immediately.Edwin quickly rushe

Edwin was lost in thought; the thought of him not being by Angela's side when she finally woke up melted his heart. Nothing more could give him a peaceful mind than to avail himself now that she needed him the most. A thunderous horn from a tinted 4matic car resonated him back to reality; he had forgotten to move forward as the traffic released a little. As he drove forward, he off his ignition; looking at the different brands of vehicles lining up, he wondered if it could be possible to get home before dusk. Gulping down some chilled water he had purchased from a roadside hawker, he whined down the windscreen and flapped down the incoming taxi behind him as he drove into the next lane seeing that it had less traffic. His phone rang immediately; as if he has been expecting a call all along, he took it hurriedly from the pigeonhole only to see Mr. Kenneth as the caller ID. 'What brand of humiliation does he want to wall around me with, now?' he asked his inner self. He flung hi

Just as he was about saying out his decision, they were all distracted by Angela who began moaning Edwin's name."I'm here, babe!" He replied, caressing her forehead; with his other hand holding her hand as his thumb caressed the back of her palm.Crinkling her eyes, she opened it gradually to everyone's surprise as they all quickly moved closer to her."She's awake..! You're awake, my baby!" Mrs. Clear shouted with glee."Let me go get the doctor; I will be right back." Mr. Kenneth uttered as he hurried out."Thank God you're awake; we've all been worried about you." Edwin said with a warm smile, locking his eyes with hers.Leo, noticing it, burned with fury; the fact that he was in the mix but was never noticed, grilled him."Babe, where am I?" She managed to ask."You are in the hospital; you lost consciousness while at the warehouse." He explained."You have been unconscious for hours now. Thank God you came back to us." Her mum added.Leo couldn't bear his irrelevance anymore; he

She allowed it to ring out, switching off her phone afterward. She wasn't ready to speak to anyone at the moment. She squeezed herself under her pink duvet, crying her eyes out as she slept off. It was on a bright afternoon, the sun shone warmly in the blue sky; Angela sat relaxed in her office; moving randomly on her swivel chair. Her eyes were shut, her palms were locked to her tummy. She was feeling the serenity of the vicinity. Just before she knew it, her door burst open; opening her eyes instantly to see who had the temerity to walk into her office in such an uncivilized manner, she stood up surprisingly at the sight of Margaret walking in. "Where have you been, Margaret; We've all been worried sick about you?" "Just been around." She blurted; pulling the office seat backward as she sat opposite Angela. Angela sat back in her seat as she continued with the discussion. "I've missed you, my dear friend! You just forgot and abandoned me!" She teased. "That's why I came." "

Edwin was in his office attending to the files on the table when his phone rang; seeing it was Mr. Kenneth he answered immediately. " Hello, sir!" He spoke up. "Please, I need you to come over to my house; Angela is emotionally shattered. I believe you can help mend her broken heart." "Alright, sir; I'll be there shortly." "Thank you so much, I appreciate it if you do!" As he ended the call, a young man walked in. It was Kachi, Edwin's best friend from way back in Primary school. They were both from the same village; though, got separated when Edwin was taken to Lagos for his secondary and tertiary education by his uncle after his father's death. Fate brought the duo together when they bumped into each other at one of the biggest mail in the state, ShopRite. Kachi was an inch taller than Edwin, he was plumpy, with a robust cheek; he was fair in complexion with his Afro haircut. "Nwanne madu! My brother!" Edwin hailed as they shook hands. "Onye nkem! My person! He hailed in

"What's going on here?" Mr. Kenneth asked. His eyes were fire; his fist clenched and his skin reddened, with intense eye contact."No.. nothing sir!" Edwin stuttered."Really, I sent you here to help my daughter who is emotionally down, only for you to take it as an advantage to molest her, right?" He scolded."It's not what you think dad; he wasn't molesting me, and besides I'm an adult; I know what I want and who I want to spend the rest of my life with; it's high time you stopped forcing Leo on me." she defended."One more word from you, and I will forget about your mental health and slap the silly out of you if you ever speak to me in such a manner!" He objurgated.His gaze became more furious towards Edwin; the radiation from his burning eyes warmed his skin; "now, get out of my house and never come back!" He yelled.Edwin took some speedy steps out of the room; he was lucky he didn't receive on his smooth cheek a thunderous effect of his hand.Reminiscing over the recurrence of

Angela sat in front of her mirror combing her long ponytail when she had a knock on her door."Yes, come in!" She permitted as Miss Anna walked in."Hello, my sunshine; hope you're ready, your parents are waiting for you downstairs. She said, strolling towards her.Getting to where she was sitting, she placed her hand on her shoulder; "you look so beautiful!" She looked into the mirror, admiring Angela's image."Thank you," Angela replied with a soft smile. "Put this on, if fits better on your black dress." Miss. Anna suggested, taking the diamond necklace that was inside the jewelry box on her make-up vanity. She helped her to put it on; "perfect!" She exclaimed, jamming her hands together. "Thank you, Miss. Anna; it really fits perfectly!" Angela said, admiring the necklace she had worn in the mirror."You're welcome, sweetheart; you have to go downstairs now; you know you can't keep your parents waiting.""Alright!" She replied, applying some cherry red lipstick, and stood up af

Angela seeing that all eyes were on her, busied the call. "It's nothing serious." She ittered, making them remove their attention from her. A few seconds later, her phone beeped a message notification; it was from Edwin. She opened her inbox to read; "How are feeling now, babe? Hope your dad didn't punish you much?" "I'm feeling better now, babe; my dad didn't punish me, he only invited Leo to escort us to Mrs. Pricilia's place for a condolence visit. We are still there now." She texted him back. Her legs made a gentle pound on the floor as she waited for his reply. She wasn't part of the discussion anymore; all her attention was on her chat with Edwin. Her phone beeped another message notification; Edwin had sent his reply as she opened her inbox to read. "Alright, I'm calm now knowing that you are good; as for Leo, don't listen to whatever crab he has to say. Take care of yourself for me; I love you." "Thank you, take care of yourself, too. I love you." She replied, and dippe
