The only thing I could understand was, it should have been me.I should have been the one limping not him, Why did he have to push me away.With my eyes already clouded with tears, I hurried along following him back to where the car was parked. The crowd already dispersed like the way they appeared."Are you okay? Can I drive? " I asked, as we were already close to the car.It was like he was snubbing me, well it was my fault I made him bring me here, now someone got hurt."Kene..." I drawled out, trying to make him talk to me."Just get in " he replied, opening the car.***I was surprised when he parked right in front of my house. I stared at the familiar green gate, and I faced Kene immediately giving him a questioning loo

The news was already everywhere, like a wild fire.  Everyone knows now. I was born deaf, you might be wondering how? I have an ear impairment, I can't hear with my left ear.  My right ear is the only functioning one. And there is a probability I might go deaf soon.Kene knows all this, I can't believe he shared my secrets with Ada. I  hate him so much. Mum and Dad left this morning after I convinced and assured them I was fine. Dad wasn't bothered, maybe he didn't want to show it, but I guess it was my fault, I trusted kene too much. How I wish I could just turn back the hands of time.Mum tried to make me talk to Kene  before she left, but I already made up my mind. "I think you should hear what he has to say." she had said dropping off a strange book on my laps"***"Wow....

Mum's death wasn't a dream after all, like I hoped, It hit me really had. I was devastated and I still felt numb. Her death stripped me off my emotions. I felt sick, terrible and alone. I still wish it was a naughty prank or a nightmare. She should have told me, Dad also kept it from me. I knew something was wrong. She keeping to herself and then the handing over ceremony. I was angry I didn't figure it out.She had Acute Lymphatic Lymphoma. Lymphoma. A form of Cancer that affects the lymph nodes that produces the white blood cells, which are the key elements against infection in the body's immune system. She refused treatment, if she had told me. I would have convinced her. And made her change her mind immediately. I would have stayed by her taking care of her every needs as she once did to me. But she kept suffering in silence till it reached stage four. The highest and last stage of

Kene finally convinced me to go with him to his parents house today, His mum wasn't an issue but his Dad was, I have never met the man before and I'm not ready to.Kene's dad is a retired soldier, and with the stories I've heard about soldiers. I can't and I don't want to imagine myself discussing with the old man. But I've no choice since I already promised to go with him today. Today being Friday, I dawned on a Wine Ankara off the shoulder gown with a little dust of gold on it, matched with a pair of black Sandals. I looked too simple, but who cares it's a Friday and hash tag a public holiday. "Why are you dressed in a maternity gown? " kene asked as he got down from the stairs.

I yawned softly.I was about to stretch my hands when I felt something warm on my stomach.I looked down to see it was one of Kene's hands.
