I came back to the hostel around five o'clock pm in the evening. I had waited almost all day for the heavy rain to seize and it was still drizzling before I started coming back to the hostel.I was not feeling very fine, not that I was feeling sick or having a stomach ache, but I was just moody. It was unlike me to be upset for no particular reason but that was the way I felt this evening. Perhaps it was because Daniel had travelled earlier, leaving me alone, or it was just a normal mood swing that happened to ladies few times.Daniels mother had called him in the morning today again, reminding him to come home. I almost felt like crying when he had packed and left, leaving me alone in the house. It was not like it was the first time we were parting from each other but it just felt different and I haven't been in a good mood since then although he had called from time to time informing me about the journey or where he was at that particular time. As I got to the room, I pushed the

The alarm on my phone rang and I woke up immediately to get ready for my exam. It was finally the day for the last paper I had to take this semester. I brushed my teeth and prepared. The exam was to start by eight o'clock Am in the morning. I had revised this particular course many times so I didn't bother about glancing through it this morning. After taking my bath, dressing up and eating, I took my biro, pencil and sharpener and some important things I would need to show the invigilators in the exam Hall. My eligibility slip was one of them, because we haven't been given any students identification card yet, apart from the normal departmental card.I switched off my phone before dropping it back in the cupboard. Nobody would call me anyway, even Daniel had seemed to forget about me since he left.Since that last time he called me to inform me that he had almost gotten him, we have never spoken on phone, and I haven't heard from him, and when I called his number, it was always

I woke up not until ten o'clock Pm the next morning feeling very blessed and happy. I had actually slept so well like a baby last night, but the main reasons I woke up late was due to yesterday's journey and all the stress that came with it.I was really tired that I didn't know it was ten o'clock that I woke up until I looked at the wall clock which kept ticking endlessly.I was even going to sleep longer if my little sis had not woken me up as she kept jumping on the bed. Then I remembered they mom was coming home today and we had to prepare something special for her, like we always do. The weather was so bright and also sunny and one would think it was already tweve o'clock pm without looking at the clock or wrist watch. I claimed out of the bed stretching and yawning loudly. I searched for my phone on the table and to play my morning affirmations but I could not find it. Just then, I remembered yesterday and how i was robbed of it. I swore hitting the table with all the streng

"Dress up, we are going to the hospital. We won't let anyone know where we are going" She replied."But I thought we could use pregnancy test kit to check" I said. That was what boolu usually used in the room and she didn't bother going to the hospital."I want to be so sure and clear about this. One of my roommates in two hundred level then said that she had actually used that before and it was negative and after one week she discovered that she was actually pregnant. I didn't know that could happen, until she told me, so I want to be very certain, but we would still get the kit too" She replied. Then I took my bath hurriedly and changed dressed up.Sister Prisca lied to mom and that that we were going to the mall when they asked where we were going. We took a cab from the front of the house to a private hospital. We didn't go the usual hospital we do go because mom's friend works there and she might see us and we didn't want to take any chance.On reaching the hospital we waited fo

Mr emeka had a kind of fondness for me that I found disgusting. I had so much hatred for him and didn't even know why. He was always smiling mischievously and when he wasn't smiling he was putting on a big frown. There was something about his smile that I hated so much and I knew he was a bad person behind those smiles and pretence.His late wife was a close friend of mom and told her many things he did to her but nobody believed or seemed to hear her out except mom, and she had finally passed away after few weeks she was diagnosed with heart disease.And here was dad trying to get rid of me by planning to force me get married to him."You know I am one of the important people in the church, what would people think of me if they hear about this, that I have a slut as a daughter? I would be given a back seat in the church, is that what you want? He said after some while."We would find another way to resolve this please, don't just marry her off to that man" mom pleaded. She was soundi
