"I got a few things." Ben told Toba. "How do you plan to surprise her?" She asked."I don't know yet  but I just want you to get her out of bed but don't give her an idea of what's cooking till those things arrives, I'll send Ibilola over and I'll join you ladies when I'm done here." Toba said. "I don't want her to know something is going on.""Sure, trust me." Ben ended the call and checked the time, it was few minutes past seven. "She should be awake by now." She muttered, she got hold of her purse and left for Annie's apartment.She stood by the door and knocked gently,Annie wasn't opening up and she wondered if she was still sleeping, she dialed her number but she didn't pick up her calls."What's wrong?" She asked herself as she kept banging at the door. The door flew open and Ben jumped in fear. Annie stood in front like her, her hair was ruffled and her eyes were slightly opened.  "Birthday girl!" Ben hugged her. "Happy birthday bab

It wasn't Roshan's first time of traveling to Lagos but it was sure the first time traveling by road, the trips he's had to Lagos - mostly business trips has always been by air.Immediately they got to Lagos, the road became busy as usual, one side of the road set aside for pedestrians, other lanes for vehicles. Everyone and every car were busy moving, some to the left, others to the right. Some young children crowded the busy road with various stuffs to sell on their heads taking advantage of the unending traffic delay, they sold things to exhausted drivers and passengers - a method they've adapted to getting their things selling well daily, sellers of edible goods were the bestsellers on the traffic as many more people patronized them than sellers of other things.Ben sighed as she called a little boy, whose tray was filled with unsold bread."How much is it?" She asked him."Five hundred for one ma." The little boy replied her smartly, she took three and

Since he left her house that morning, he hasn't called nor texted her. She called a countless times and sent loads of messages across to him but he didn't return any.Ben looked so sad as she sat on the couch in the living room, she regretted bringing Roshan to her parents.She got up from bed very late and couldn't make it to church with them, she cried throughout the night when Roshan didn't pick her calls and that made her sleep at the early hours of the morning cos she couldn't get to sleep during the night.She woke up with a light head, her head was throbbing like a relay race was going on in there. She took some pills and decided to take some rest, she went to the kitchen to see if she could get something to eat but nothing interested her, her appetite was gone since the very moment her father declared she can't marry the only man she loved. She tried his number again but he didn't pick. "Why is he avoiding me?" She asked herself as she back on the couch.&nb

She stood by the door and gathered composure before proceeding to knock."Who's there?" Roshan asked in a low voice, he couldn't speak loud due to the terrible headache that woke him up."Room services." She said in a very low tone, almost like a whisper.He stood up and checked the time, he didn't call for room services. Why were they at his door?"I didn't call for any room services." He directed back at whoever who was knocking at the door."We are here to clean your room sir." She said again in her tiny voice. "Can you kindly open up?"He suspected some foul play, he took his shirt and proceeded to open the door. He did open and to his surprise, Ben was the one pulling the stunt."Benedicta?" He was flabbergasted."Roshan." She entered into the room and hugged him without hesitation. "Why haven't you been picking my call? I thought you left al

"Roshan, Alhaji has collapsed. We need you back here right now." Were the last words his mom said over the phone before he ended the call in a hurry, packed a few things, he paid to park his car in the hotel's garage and he boarded a cab directly to that the airport to book a flight that was going to Kano.Luckily, there were two more seats for Kano travelers. He paid and waited till the plane took off. As he was inside the plane, he prayed that nothing happened to his father, he prayed that God would spare him.He checked his pocket for his phone but didn't find it, then it dawned on him that he had left it inside the car in the hotel. After he closed the doors, he didn't remember to take the phone along with him, he muttered some cuss words as he thought of Ben - they planned to leave together but he was going without her, he felt a pang of guilt washed through his veins but then, he needed to be with his father, his father needs him.How was it possible for h
