Stolen Moments

I was shaking because I wanted this nightmare to end. I was not ready for more aggravation.“We cannot see clearly in the scan but there is something wrong inside her Cerebellum. Although we can’t pinpoint it now because of the scar and the swelling, it showed slightly when we took a scan.”“Swelling and scaring. What did you do to my child?”I had never seen Joseph so angry it scared me. I was forced to explain to everyone what happened.“For now we need to monitor her and see how this goes. We are not promising anything as the swelling is not showing any signs of subsiding now.”“Can we at least see her?”I looked at the doctor with pleading eyes and he assumed I was the mother.“Yes but only you and the father.”They all look at me as if they will consume me with the flames in their eyes. They all looked back at the doctor. Mr. Soko just brushed my shoulder apologetic as if he was the one who had wronged me.“Why would she come in when I almost lost my daughter because of

“We need to go Please drive me.” I said, dropping the call and pulling her by her hand.“What the........”I pulled her towards the door. I didn’t have a car so I was banking on her.“What is going on, Maya?” she asked opening the car as I opened my side as well. “Asante is up and she was asking for me.”“I bet it is a bitter pill to swallow after making sure you didn’t get to see her.”We both laughed but my mind was with Asante. I was worried if she was fine or not.“But it won’t matter.”“What do you mean?”“Nothing to worry about friend just shush up and drive.”We both laughed as she played that song by Rihana that she loved so much. I was silently praying for Ashante to be well so that she cannot hate me as well.“We are here so worry not.” She was already parking not so far from the door. I waited for her as she locked the car.“Please relax. I can feel your tension from miles away. Do not show them your weakness please because I will be forced to be rude to them.”She was ri

“You need to buy a new car this car will not get you laid.”I said, leaving with my bother. He didn’t even enter as he was afraid of starting a fight with my h…… or he was Joseph only. It felt strange not calling him my love or my husband.“You will not believe how many women want to just ride both the car and the driver.”Eeew, this is going to traumatize your little sister.”He laughed at me. He was still not married, but he had two children with his baby mama who loved him dearly. I felt sorry for her as I knew she was a good person. I had ignored it for so long that I needed to voice my opinion.“Sungani, you know one day that woman will be done with you and move on. You will be surprised when you are left to marry someone like Asante’s mother.”“That will not happen she was not groomed like that.”“Sometimes we tire of being second best. Take it from me. She is with you not because she is desperate but because she loves you and at some point that will be in the past. Do you think

My stay with my uncle and his family was very pleasant. They managed to wake me up at reasonable times but just before the break of the day.“Why is he distant these days?”I was asking his wife. You know when we talked about the obedient wife from the bible we talked about her. She never questioned or it was because my uncle led by example. She loved her husband with her might and cared for him. My uncle had been distant leading to the week of my departure.“He is worried about you. You know that he dreams sometimes.”I was confused. “Dreams, about what?”“About the future, the good and the bad part of it. But he just goes to the wild and prays about it as he cannot change the future but pray for it to be pleasant no matter how bad the situation might seem.”“I do not understand.”“For instance, if he dreams about things that will lead to the death of a loved one or something along those lines. He doesn’t pray for the dead to stop as we know when the time comes we can never run away

“Oh by the way my name is Samantha, I forgot to tell you as it slipped my mind because I have so many things to tell you. This company is my passion and I love working here. I've been working in here since I left college and everything is so coooool."I looked at her lips which were always moving without stopping, she talked a lot she didn't have a full stop. She just didn't know how to pause. Even though she talked too much I liked her. The passion that she had for this company drove me to know more about it. I had been working from home and I didn't have much time to research I didn't have time to interact with the people that I was working with. We only had two meetings and we had two conferences once again where we never had to sit down and discuss anything about the company.“Samantha I love your enthusiasm I think I will enjoy working with you. The passion that you have for this company is making me jealous I am even cursing myself for why I didn't do the 8 to 5 from the start.
