After my conversation with grandma I went back to the room and retired for the day. The following morning, It was weekend and so there wasn't any need to wake up early, Kiki was still in her room when I passed by there and was heading to the kitchen.."Good morning, Mrs Sara". I grabbed a bowl and a cartoon of cereal with a glass of milk.."Good morning, I can see that you're Very hungry". She removed the Pancakes from the frying pan and smiled. "Yes , I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse". I joked , despite being so hungry.I had the bowl of cereal when Kiki came inside the kitchen, she was leaving for a jog and immediately I recalled Grandma warning from last night."Good morning, may I join you?". I set the bowl of cereal aside and then asked her. "Sure, I'll be waiting outside". She smiled and left.I had to pour away the remaining cereal which was left in the bowl and then went up to my bedroom, changed and came downstairs.."Let's go". Kiki waited by door. "Sure". She grin
The next day felt like a delight. I woke up having to feel butterflies inside of my stomach, the joyous expression on my face and behaviour was so evident that Sara and my grandma had a lot of questions.."Munory, did something good happen last night?" Grandma asked me and I know that she was referring to my conversation with Kiki. "Nothing, happened". I sat down for breakfast and shortly after Kiki came downstairs. I thought she was going to join us at the table, however, she had an appointment that needed her attention. Grandma wanted me to accompany her but she preferred to go alone which to me was suspicious..I acted not to notice but deep down, I was dying to walk her to the door. I had nothing to do and so I decided to make a phonecall to her, Kiki's phone rang but she didn't pick up, I called the second time and when she had refused to pick up, I stoped myself from calling again..The entire day, I patiently waited for her to come home, Grandma left for a meeting, however b
Uncle Jason brought us back after the incident and thanks to uncle drake, he pulled some strings so my family wouldn't be pulling along with the drama. "Hey! How are you doing?". After an hour, I met with Kiki outside the mansion. She held a cup of tea in her hand as she Slightly turned back and faced me. "I'm good and you?" Her response was quick and without delay. "I've been better," I approached forward and held her from behind. "I almost thought we were going to die together " She took her head back a bit and slightly resting on my shoulder.."Me too, but thank God, nothing bad has happened ". I replied, as I slowly strokes her hair with my hand..We stood outside until we were ready to go back Inside, it was already late and I wouldn't want to keep her awake. "Goodnight, Kiki" . I walked her to the door Of her bedroom.."Goodnight ". She smiled and then turned her head, and opened her door. I was just leaving then she called me back.." Hold on, munory". She said."Yes!"
mobster husband.I walk into my home after a long day at college, and the first thing I find welcoming me was a man, holding a loaded gun to the head of my dad. Dad saw me freaked out."Hey! What's going on?". I said as I let go of my bags and ran to save him.But the man, takes his hand back, following with the gun .... "Muna, why are you here so early?".Dad went up from his knees and slinked me back to his frightened gaze. "Dear, go to your bedroom,'. Dad instructed. He pushed me in the direction of my bedroom. I looked at mom as she gave me a slight nod. I believe she also wanted me gone.I left without getting my bags, I heard no noise, no one said anything until I banged the door to my bedroom.....Immediately. The whispering began.....I couldn't hear what they were talking about. However, the fright of a gun fixed to the head of my parents again made me more troubled.I paced around my bedroom.Then suddenly, I got a luminous idea.I thought maybe I can get a glimpse
He snatched mom and yelled to her face."How dare you slap Corey, I'll make you pay,".He says, as he dragged her to the kitchen, turned on the gas cooker, and practically attempted to burn her hand with the flames.I couldn't stand there and watch that happen, I rode past my scared dad, and walked between him and my mom.He stares at me angrily. "You should learn how to respect, your elders, didn't your mom teach you that?" I said, I managed to break his grip on my mother. Mom was freaking out of uncertainty. That alone made me mad. I gently shifted mom and took her place."Come on, you wanted to burn her right, you can as well, do it to me, I dare you,"..... I said... Without fear..... Corey laughed. "you sure?, I don't do well with threats,". He said."Seriously, I should be the one telling you, or better yet, are you scared now?". I brought down my hands close to the flames of the gas cooker... ...Mom begged me to stop. Dad seconded. I looked away ignoring their words, all I
Dad looked at my hands. His eyes were so watery, that he closed them and a teardrop falls on my plan. I felt it ease a little off the pain in my palm."Dear, come with me,". Mom dragged me away from dad and forcefully sat me down on the sofa to attend to my wounds. She pressed a wet towel into my hand and stared emotionally at me.While mom attended to my wounds, Corey stood and watched. After that, dad walks up to him and begged me to give him enough time to pay up his loan. Corey and I locked eyes I felt him enjoying the scene, he looks away and said to dad."Mr. Nunan, I don't think I'll be needing any more time, because I not only want your daughter as collateral but also she will get married to me and become my wife,"... The towel falls from my hand. My parents and I stared at him with shock.No! He can't be serious, or can he?....I stood up and fought against it."Never, you must be out of your mind, I'll never become your wife, neither will I accept such a stupid condit
I am waiting?" Corey said. I looked at the faces of my parents, before responding, "fine, I accept, I'll get married to you,". Dad immediately rebuked, " no! You can't do that,"."Dear, Please reconsider,". Mom said as well.Corey however didn't care what they said. He finally takes away the gun and before leaving he turns to my family and said."You're lucky tonight, but don't forget, I'll be back for you, my dear,". Corey winked at me before disappearing from our eyes... Immediately the door shuts, and dad ran off to the door, he locked it, confronting me. "You shouldn't have accepted Muna," dad complained.Like what the heck does he want?. I had no choice, it was either I see my parents die before my eyes or accept to marry a monster like Corey."Dear! Please no need to dwell on this, we should at least find a way to save our child from getting married to a man like Corey,". Says mom. She turns around and faced me. ", Muna, I need you to promise me, and no matter what, you'll n
The next morning. After the whole Corey episode, both my parents were still paranoid. I came downstairs for breakfast. Mom walks out of the kitchen holding a bowl of hot soup. However, the second a bang on the door came. She unnerves and accidentally sent the entire soup to the ground.Out of fear."Mom?". I called staring at her facial expression.She faced the door and ran over to meet dad.Dad looks at me, "dear, can you go check who's at the door?". He whispered to me."Seriously!", I said back."Please baby, huh!". Said mom, holding unto dad's favorite polo shirt."Fine, let me go check,". I inhaled and said.I stood up from my chair, navigating towards the front door.I came closer and yelled."Who is it?". . I faced my parents for a while, they were both freaked out of their minds, when a familiar voice yelled right back."Muna! Get the door open, please,".. Sara, my best friend, said.Upon hearing her voice, my parents calmed down, I did too.Even though I didn't quite show
