May raised her brow and blinked her eyes then, laughed out loud making Caroline confused that she creased her brows.
"First of all, aunty Caroline, I need you to know that a woman's well being doesn't always come from her husband's pocket. If you see me doing fine today, doesn't mean my husband is responsible for that." May told her as a matter of factly, "I now earn little money from my catering school which I am using to take good care of myself and my daughter. Also.... Please don't say I am getting fat. You could say that I am adding a little weight but not fat, my dear."
Caroline scratched the back of her ear, drawing herself closer to where May stood.
"Eh.. If you say so, no problem. But.. What cream are you using on your skin that is making it light and spotless like this?" She asked.
May fought the urge to laugh. So this was all what the talks were about? "I'll write it out for yo

"The way you said it." He replied once his laughter subsided."Oh.. Really?" She asked, folding her arms and giving him a pointed look, obviously not finding it funny at all.What an annoying goalkeeper."Come on," he urged her. She rolled her eyes but obeyed him anyways. They began walking back to his house."About your question, you see... That's to simply show you that I am not perfect." Iby answered."I've heard."They walked quietly, hand in hand until he broke the silence by asking, "So how is your health? How you feeling?"She shrugged, "I feel healthy. Thank you.""That feels good to know."Iby came out from his ensuite drying his wet locks with his white towel, looking all hot.Water was

May gave a curt nod -feeling her voice would fail her if she speaks- and before she knew it, a body is pressed against hers in a bone cracking hug. "It's really nice to meet you," Ebiere told her. Then she held May's shoulder with both her hands on the sides and looked into May's eyes, "I've heard so much about you from my cousin."May's eyes widened slightly, "Really?" she finally managed to ask."Don't believe her, May. She is exaggerating." Iby kicked in quickly before Ebiere had the chance to reply May's question."Oh! Well, come on in now." invited Ebiere, "the others are waiting."The interior was simply designed. They had cushioned sofas, a large, glassy middle table that has a small bowl of different types of fruit inside, sitting on it, a large flat-screen television hung on the creamy wall and there were so many portrait of Ebiere, a man whom May

This made Tari, who had been quiet since to laugh. She drew closer and whispered into May's ear, "This is how they get when they argue about football. They don't know how extremely boring their conversations are. I just hope you don't get bored too much or are you already?"May only gave her a tight lip smile and shrugged."Why argue about Obi Mikel and Victor Moses? When we have a man like Jay-Jay Okocha who was and still would be the best player Nigeria had?" piped in, Iby."Taa, shut up there!" Emem rebuked.Iby didn't give up, "Have you all forgotten that Jay-Jay Okocha was an attacking midfielder during his career from 1990-2008? He was best known for his technique, confidence, and dribbling skills, especially his use of feints.""We already know all that," Emem said, already feeling defeated."No. I think you have all forgotten. Let me remind you." Iby persisted, "Du

Every one had a plate full of Oha soup and pounded yam. Everybody except Iman who said it was better he ate farina and pepper soup.The dinning table wasn't large enough to contain all fifteen people so the kids sat in circle on the floor, eating from their large bowl quietly. Everyone chewed and swallowed silently until troublesome Hassan peeped into Ebiere's plate."Aunty Ebiere, all this large portion of food? Only you? Can you even finish it?" He queried. "Yes. You know I'm eating for two.""Or you're just using your pregnancy as an excuse to eat all the food in this house." He stated and received another smack at the b

May looked at the dress one more time and then, pressed her palm against her mouth to stop her from releasing loud sobs and in the process, she began to hiccup uncontrollably. The thought that she wouldn't see him for an unknown amount of time, brought a sharp twist to her chest. It hurt so much that it became suffocating to breath.Her butt took vacancy on his bed and she ran her hand on his neatly tucked bedsheet, reminiscing back to times they had spent together. All those times he had stood close to her. So close that she could feel his warm breath and his body against hers. The times he had caressed her hair freely, the day he had offered to treat her bruises and all those days all he had done was make her smile. Like it was his priority.After sometime, she found herself searching through his bag. She curled up on his bed with his T-shirt in hand, sniffing his scent and eventually began to dwell in those days again just so she would

Mother and daughter hugged each other passionately."I love you too my daughter. I am so happy to see you again. In fact, my joy knows no bound. I just want you to forgive me.""For what?" asked, May, pulling away from the hug."For not finding you and letting you live this way." Mrs. Felix looked around the house again, disliking the fact that her daughters house had cobwebs up at the far end of the ceiling.May only smiled and then offered her mother to seat. They both sat side by side on the couch."Mother, I am used to it now. There is nothing here.. It just feels normal." May assured her."Hm.""So mother what would you like to be offered? Juice or water?" May asked already standing up so she would go out and get her mother something to drink."No. No. I don't want to be offered anything, I am full." Mama May declined, "Come seat. I w

The rickshaw driver stopped at the address she had given to him after which, she gladly paid him off. Just in front of her, was a big banquet hall with people dressed so elegantly in their various attires walking in and out. She drew in a long breath and with shoulder raised high she walked towards the door. "Ma'am, where is your invitation card?" asked one of the security men. May searched her purse for it but couldn't find it, "Uhm, I cannot find it. I must've forgotten it at home due to hurry."The security man who had stopped her, shook his head in negative, "I'm sorry but you cannot go in without showing me your invitation card ma."

"Yes. I'm sorry about that. Just it was so heartbreaking at the time..""Tega...""Oh, I'm sorry."It suddenly felt awkward, making them realise that they'd been standing all along and distracting others. It became quite embarrassing especially since Tega was still holding her hand."Uhm, Tega?" She shook her hands, asking to be freed and so he let go of her hand."Thank you," she said and they both took their seats."So how has life been?" Tega asked trying to stir up a conversation."Well, life has been life." She answered, "What about you?""Well, it hasn't been easy but I'm coping. I now work in a law firm. You know, I got my degree as a lawyer." he said with a tint of pride in his voice."Wow! That's so good to hear. Congratulations man." She shook hands with him, "I hope you don't pull stunts at the office?"
