"Mom, when will you be back?" Lekky asked her mom, as she sipped her tea.
"Soon baby, I just want to visit a friend down the estate. Be a good girl while I'm away." Mrs Donalds kissed her daughter and stood up, she picked her bag up and head for the door. "Lekky Donalds, mom loves you." She blew a kiss her way and left the living room. Lekky smiled, her mom was really lovable and pretty, she took some of her features like the long hair that fell down to her shoulders, her fair skin, and the slimness of her body structure.
"Lekky Donalds." A voice called from behind, she turned her head backwards to look at him, he stood straight and moved his long thin legs, he placed a hand on the couch and the other on Lekky's shoulder.
"Uncle Solomon." Lekky looked at him, not blinking her eyes or moving away from her position. She wondered what he wanted from her this time.
"Did you tell your mom anything about me?" He
A time to heal,Sometimes we have to cry to heal."I still can't believe that monster almost raped Lekky." Michal gasped staring at Mirabella who just ended the call."I don't too." Mirabella flopped on the couch and crossed her tiny legs."A pedophile like him should be dealt with ." Michal sat close to her sister."I have to see Lekky tomorrow," She looked at Michal with a pleading face, "Please Michal.""Of course, we will go see her tomorrow. That innocent girl." Michal trailed off, 'what joy do men derive in raping young girls?' She thought and so badly, she wanted to become a lawyer that would advocate for young girls that went through sexual molestation, cases of rape had been so rampant in the country these few months and she wondered what the government is doing about it.It increased more and more by the da
Exams were over, Brainhood Academy breathed a different air.The students roamed the school each of them engaged in one sports or the other,The S.S.2 boys had a match with the S.s.3 boys, it was the last match of the term and the last match of the S.s.3 students at Brainhood, an official match organised by the school authority.The boys were rehearsing ahead of the big game, being the captain of the s.s.2 football team Hammed was exercising vigorously for the match ahead."Hi." Hammed jogged past Michal, sweats dripping down his head."Hamm..." He jogged off before she could call his name, she smiled and returned her gaze back to the book in front of her.They were on the school field, while the boys were busy getting ready for the upcoming match the girls were just playing around, chattering, giggling and discussing irrelevant issues.Michal was seated on a spot on the field, ignoring every other humans present. She dived into the book she was reading."Hi" He jogged past her again,
Hammed offered to assist the girls with the birthday preparations, and the job designated to him was to get the cooking ingredients with Michal at the grocery mart.Michal wasn't particularly comfortable with the idea but there was nothing she could do about that, Her mom was busy with work, Mrs Donalds had a case to judge, Mr Donalds was immersed in work too, and the celebrants had to meet up with the beautician that would be decking them up for the day.Michal was the only one that wasn't occupied and Hammed agreed to help her out.Since he asserted his feelings to her she's not been free with him like she used to be.She was now timid whenever he was around and gazing at him was something she couldn't do easily anymore. But nothing has changed from Hammed's side, he still acted the same way towards her.It was the last day in school for that term, and he wanted to spend the whole day with MichalHe had sang a birthday song for Mirabella very early in the morning, it was really hila
The Venue fixed for the party was at the Donalds duplex.Mirabella and Michal spent the night there and their mother came with Jerry very early in the morning to start with the preparations.After the brief introduction made by Catherine, Jerry got acquainted with Mr Donalds and they started discussing politics and other matters that involved men.Mrs Donalds and Catherine busied themselves with work in the kitchen, and they flowed into different conversations."Who is he?" Mrs Donalds asked."My boyfriend." Catherine replied.'That was too quick' Mrs Donalds thought, "Really?" She asked."Yes, any problem with that?" Catherine stared at her."It's okay." She smiled. She knew Catherine's husband before he died, he was a very good man she never thought she'd replace him so quickly."His name is Jerry." Catherine continued "And he makes me so happy.""So happy that you forgot about your kids?" Mrs Donalds said before she could take the words back, Catherine glared at her ready to explod
Mr and Mrs Donalds wore a matching Gucci sweatshirt, a pair of black jean trousers and a pair of white sneakers.Mrs Donalds collected the mike from the MC and smiled before speaking,"Good afternoon everyone, I'm so happy we made it to this day. Thank you all for sparing a time to come. I really appreciate you all." She sighed and looked up. "Lekky Donalds is my only child and every good mother will always want to say something nice about her child." She paused and looked at Lekky lovingly."Lekky is a happy child, she has brought so nuch happiness to me since the very first day I held her in my hands. She's very obedient and smart." She looked at her baby again and smiled, Lekky was truly the best gift she'd ever had. "I always pray everyday for my daughter's happiness and I'd do anything to make sure she smiles every time. Happy Birthday, my bbaby girl mommy loves you more than you can ever imagine." Mrs Donalds finished her short speech and the crowd applauded her.It was Mr Donald
The stage was already set, Lekky and Mirabella stood alongside their music teacher, Master John.Their eyes were almost popping out of it's socket when they sighted the numbers of students that stood ahead of them."Calm down girls, I didn't bring you here for you to be overwhelmed with fears you can do it." He urged them to calm down."Yes...sir" Lekky stuttered fiddling with her fingers she hung her head low and Master James frowned."Don't do that Lekky." He bent on his knees and cupped Lekky's face with his hands. "You can do this." Lekky gave him a reassuring smile, he stroked her hair and stood up."Mirabella.'' He called, and she flashed him a smile."We would try not to disappoint you sir." She told him."Good, that's my girl. Now Let's go and register your names." The two girls followed closely behind their teacher, he was a young man in his
The Angel squad began their presentation, the spectators watched with utmost interest. It was a beautiful performance till they got to a point and the two girls halted, staring back at each other with questionable looks."What is wrong?" The girl on blue asked her partner her grey eyes gleaming with worries."I can't remember the next lyrics." She gently removed the mike and whispered."What?" The other girl asked in disbelief, why would she forget?"Angel squad, what is the problem?" The anchorman asked, the spectators watched them, the judges penned down their observations."Sir," The girl on blue said, "We can't continue anymore." She dropped the mike and faced her partner."I am sorry." They left the stage."A round of applause For Angel squad." The anchorman gingered the impatient spectators. "Now we will call on the next group."The next group were called and they approached the stage and performed beautifully.It kept going till it got to Contestant twenty, Mirabella and Lekky
Schools were on holidays, the incessant party was all over, Mirabella and Lekky were waiting patiently for the results of the young talents competition.Being at home was no fun, constant visits from Lekky always made their day but still their mother's absence was a major concern to them. They might pretend not to be concerned, but deep down they do and it hurts so badly.Catherine told her kids she was going on a vacation to Germany with Jerry, they'd shop for their wedding cloths and other stuffs while away.Leaving her kids was something that didn't bother her at all and it was still a mystery to the girls, how a mother can be okay with neglecting her kids.Mirabella woke up with blood stains on her nose again and she quickly wiped it off. Since the last time, it had been that way more often but she refused to voice it out.Fears were instilled in her, Michal was the only guardian she had and she didn't want anything that would cause her to panic.So she just assumed she always got
