Chioma must have thought it was a ploy of mine to change her mind, for she piped up almost immediately. "Amaka is going to leave this pace with her mother–" "I believe Aunt Rain has earned the right to say a proper goodbye mom. You owe her that much." I was proud of Amaka when she interrupted her mother in a polite manner. It was quite a relief that I'd at least, one of my wards has turned out fine. Chioma had no other option but to nod her approval with a watery smile plastered on her face. I blatantly refused when Mike offered to drive me and settled for hailing the next available cab I found after wobbling my way out of the cathedral with my niece in tow. The ride back to the apartment complex we sta

Mokunfayo Badmus:Even though I hadn't found a way out of my recent predicaments, I still felt like a heavy load was taken off my chest when I was done sharing the past few days with Trigger. A problem shared was half solved indeed.I felt oddly at peace, surrounded by arms. I didn't mind his stench of sweat and cigarettes, I was grateful that he was there; happy that for the first time in a while, I really had a friend to lean on.That was, of course, until Almighty Mike decided to make his triumphant entry into the hospital room. He stopped short when he realised I was practically seated on Trigger's lap, on my hospital bed and cleared his throat as an order for Trigger to pull away from my embrace and bolt out of the room.
