Rebecca has been at home since morning. It was her birthday and was supposed to hold a party for it. The party was supposed to take place in a small garden in the garden of her house. She had been working since morning decorating the garden. She suddenly received a from Alice.
Rebecca: Hey Alice, how are you doing?"
Alice: I'm okay, it seems like you completely forgotten about us.
Rebecca: I'm sorry for not calling all this while, I've been very busy that's why
Alice: Is okay, guess what?
Rebecca: what?
Alice: I and Amirah are at the gate of your university, we come for birthday.
Rebecca: Oh Alice, please stop playing around, you know I won't fall for a small lie like this.
Alice: we just wanted to surprise you, that's why we didn't tell you.
Rebecca: oh my God, are you serious?
Amira snatched the phone from Alice who was stand next to her.
Amira: Would you get your
At about 5:00 pm, Richard informed Prof. Grace that he will be going."So soon? Is my place really boring?" She asked."No not at all," Richard responded."You know I have extra rooms in the guest quarter, would you like to move here?" Prof. Grace offered."I would like to move, but friends won't like that," Richard replied."Is okay, I hope you will come here every day," she said."But before you go, you should at least go and see Rebecca's party," she suggested."I don't like she will like it if I go there," Richard said."She won't dare," Prof. Grace replied.Richard really didn't want to go, but for the sake of Prof. Grace, he decided to give it a look. He walked out of the living room and slowly headed towards the crowd. As he got closer, everyone turned to look at him."Hey, isn't that Richard?" Amirah said excited."Of course is him,"
Richard woke up in the morning feeling like the previous night was a dream. He couldn't remember the last time he was feeling so happy like that. When he looked around the room, he noticed that almost everyone had gotten ready."So you are finally up," Thomas said."Yes I am," Richard replied as he stretched his arms."Achuba told me that you had a pleasant night," Thomas said."Indeed, it is one of the very best nights of my life," Richard replied."Really?" Thomas asked."Yes really, let me take a bath first, I will tell you when I come out," Richard said.As they were about to leave for their morning lectures, Richard received a message from Alice."Rebecca is not going to lectures, we'll be having some fun at home" the message said."I'm going to see Rebecca," Richard announced after reading the message."Really? What about the lectures?"
They arrived back some minutes later and found Alice and Amirah already asleep."Wake up sleepy heads," Rebecca said as she shook Alice and they both woke up."What took you so long?" Amirah asked."Hey, we were gone just for minutes," Rebecca replied."That's what you think, to us, you have been gone for centuries," Alice replied."Perhaps you had some fun without us," Amirah winked at her."Absolutely not," Rebecca quickly replied and Alice and Amirah laughed at her.They sat down and ate the pizza. As soon as they were done eating, Amirah received a call that there will be a verification at her place of work."What did they tell you?" Alice asked."I think we must leave now," Amirah replied."Why can't you leave tomorrow as we planned?" Amirah."I must go now, I will miss the verification exercise if I stay until tomorrow," Amirah replied.
Is been a week, and Richard did not see Rebecca nor visited Prof. Grace. It was in the noon and Richard was through with his lectures for that day. They were about to leave when one of the final year student of their department walked into their lecture theatre."Can I please have your attention?" He requested and the place became silent and those leaving decided to wait and listen what he had to say."I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but we just need some few minutes of your time," he continued."Is okay, we are listen," said one of the people."As you know, the school election will take place next week. So if you don't mind, some of the contestants would like to deliver their campaign speeches," he announced.Few of the students left without waiting for the contestants to come in. Richard wanted to leave, but Thomas insisted that they must stay. They sat in the front and watched as the contestants walked in to
It was the happiest night of Richard's entire existence. He walked back to hostel excited feeling like he's floating on the air. By the he arrived, it was already midnight and Achuba and Thomas had already slept. He wished he wished they were awake so that he can his happiness with them. He lied on his without any sign of sleep in eyes. He remained like that for an hour until he got to the where he couldn't take no more. He jumped down from his bed and tapped Achuba on the shoulder."Wake up," Richard whispered.It took minutes before Achuba woke up when he noticed that Richard is not going to give up."What is it you have to tell me that you can't wait until morning?" Achuba asked as he sat up with his eyes still closed."I almost kissed Rebecca today," Richard happily announced."Really?" Achuba asked, and this time, his eyes were widely opened."How did that happen?" Thomas who was lying on the other sid
Afternoon arriving at the university teaching hospital, Richard was taken to the emergency room where the doctors started operating on him. Rebecca sat on the waiting bench with her hands covered in blood. Her face was completely wet with tears as he had cried terribly. She wished and prayed that he will be okay. She had never been so scared in her entire life like she was at that moment. As she was sitting, her mom suddenly call her on the phone.Prof. Grace: I heard that a student has been short, where are you?Rebecca: it was RichardProf. Grace: you what do you mean it was Richard?Rebecca: Somebody shot him, he currently undergoing a surgery.Prof. Grace: Oh Lord, where are you?Rebecca: I'm at the teaching hospital.Prof. Grace: okay I will be right there.After the call, Rebecca went into one of wash room and cleaned herself up. By the time she walked out, her mom had arr
After the Richard heard the news about his sister, his whole turned upside down. He couldn't think of anything than her. His sister sat in sorrow and watched him crying like a child. At about 12 pm, Alice and Amirah arrived at the hospital. Rebecca went to the entrance of the hospital and welcome them."You are welcome," Rebecca said to them."Thank you," they both smiled."Why do you come empty handed?" Rebecca asked."Actually, we don't plan on staying long here. We just came to see you and Richard, we'll be on our way back in the evening," Amirah replied."That's unfair," Rebecca frowned."Okay we'll spend the night here, we will leave the first in the morning tomorrow," Alice inferred."Alice, have you forgotten that my shift starts tomorrow?" Amirah asked."Come on, is just a single day, you can call one of your friends to cover for you," Alice said."How is Ri
One week later, Richard finally got discharged from the hospital. Rebecca suggested that he should stay with his sister in her place until he's fully recovered. The doctor gave him the final check up and he was adviced on things to do to improve his health. At around 10 am, Richard was ready to leave the hospital. Thomas and Achuba helped Richard to walk to Rebecca's car that was parked outside while Susan and Rebecca walked behind them. Rebecca quickly walked to the car and had the car opened for them. Richard, Thomas and Achuba sat at the back, while Rebecca and Susan sat in the front. Rebecca started the engine and started started driving after everyone had sat down."So, doesn't that mean his shooter has gone free without getting arrested?" Susan questioned."Well, the shooter was not identified that's the police couldn't arrest anybody," Achuba explained."That's really annoying. That means he could have died in vain," Susan said a
