CHAPTER SEVENTY ONE

I got to the park the next day at around nine o'clock Am in the morning as soon as I alighted from the bus, I called Anabelle immediately to inform her that I had gotten there and she told me she'd come and pick me right away and I say at a seat in the park waiting.It was beautiful here and the road was very busy with passersby going there various business.My eyes caught a pregnant woman along the road with a young man beside her holding her, which was obviously her husband. I watched as He held her protectively on her shoulders as they crossed the road.I didn't know when a tear dropped from my eyes to my cheek. I cleaned it angrily. I didn't know why I was becoming too emotional these days and could cry at any slighted thing. I looked down at my stomach, rubbing it gently and forcing myself not to break down and cry. There was no one to hold me like that, no shoulder to cry on right now. I looked at the road again and the couple's were already gone.After waiting for almost half a

CHAPTER SEVENTY TWO

It was a beautiful weekend. Anabelle had decided to accompany me to the boutique to buy some clothes and other things I needed. After bathing and dressing up we left for the boutique."This boutique sells good clothes at affordable price, not like those ones that put too much profit on their dresses" Anabelle said as we entered the boutique.It was filled with different people who had also come to buy clothes or hand bags. After getting some clothes a nightie and some other stuffs I needed we paid for it and left for the house. Anabelle also got herself some clothes, ripped jeans and some gowns.There was traffic on the road and we stayed in the bus longer than we were supposed to. I almost vomited there as the smell of the bus made me feel like throwing up but I held myself. Finally we were home. Anabelle wanted to make fried rice so I assisted her in cutting the carrots and cabbages as she washed and boiled the chicken we were going to cook it with."Do you like it boiled or fried"

CHAPTER SEVENTY THREE

Finally after four months and some weeks I entered into labour. It was on a weekend and fortunately Anabelle was around. I was immediately rushed to the hospital where I delivered a baby girl.Going into labour and delivering was really the one thing I dreaded most. I had told a nurse about that and how I feared that I might not survive it and she had assured me that I could bear it and after all the pains I would go through the joy of seeing the child would take them all away.That was really what had happened. At a time I thought I might even die as I couldn't bear the pain anymore but when I saw the face of the child, my child, the pain vanished and I became unconscious. Apart from the pains I pass through while pushing, there was no complications.I didn't know I had passed out until I woke up. I had been cleaned up now and I felt better. The baby was laid on my arms and it was a girl. She was so beautiful and looked so much like Daniel.Anabelle had come to see me that morn

CHAPTER SEVENTY FOUR

"Someone asked for a plate of vegetables soup and eba" Muna's sister said, moving from the counter to where I sat dishing out some food. She had started working with me some weeks ago."Alright Lizzy, I heard" I said handing the plate of food over to her.Although she was hardworking and very fast, since she started working some people complained that she had no manners and didn't know how to politely to people . I told her about it and she seemed to have improved.As a result of the character of some people that came around to buy food sometimes, I didn't like having blossom around at the shop and also no drink containing alcohol were sold at the shop.As I was about dishing another food out, my phone began to ring. The caller had no name as the number was not saved in my phone and I picked it up anyway, placing it on my ears and with the assistant of my shoulders as I continued with what I was doing."Hello? I said handing out the food to Lizzy who stood impatiently waiting. She took

CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVE

since I opened the mini eatery, the vegetables soup one food that was well patronized and sometimes it there was always shortages. That was until I started cooking more of it than other dishes. There was a special way cooked the vegetables soup. I learnt it from Daniel and I realized that people really loved it. I usually add fresh paper and a little strong fresh tomatoes which gave it a wonderful colour."You're welcome, I really enjoyed it" He replied smiling."You're making me blush now, I'm really glad everyone loves the soup, including you" I said smiling. He nodded and was about leaving when he turned back."Emm...if you don't mind, there's an upcoming food competition I heard a friend talking about. It's being sponsored big companies. The winners of the competition are being awarded big cash prizes and other rewards. I can get a ticket for you if you don't mind" He said studying my face."Emm...i'm interested sir, I'd like to know more about it" I replied nervously. "I rem

CHAPTER SEVENTY SIX

There were two stages to be passed before being eligible for the final competition. And it was one week interval from the first to the second. After the first we were to go and find out new or different ways of preparing home made and foreign dishes to improve our cooking skills and be prepared for the next one.We were fifteen in numbers who had been picked up for the first stage. After the first stage only five people were to be picked. And it was the five people that passed the first stage that would participate in the second.Mr Ferdinand was the one who helped me participate in the event. After he had given me his card and I called the next day, he had helped me get the ticket through the help of his friend.The day for the first stage of the competition had approached and I managed to be among the first five people to be picked.Even though I have been hoping to be among the winners, I was still shocked when my name was announced. Some of the people who had participated had bra

CHAPTER SEVENTY SEVEN

It has been almost five years now since I had my baby and she was all grown up now. Everything had been moving very fine until she started asking me about her dad. That had happened when I came to pick her from schools. She had asked me why dad never picked her from school, stating that her friends dad always did so. I had assured her that one day, her dad would come back from were he had traveled to and wouldn't go leave her again, and that seemed to work as she stopped disturbing me about it.She was four years and five months old now but talked and reasoned like an adult sometimes, it really marveled me and people always says that she looked bigger than her age.I could say I was a successful woman now as I owned five big and well known eateries in five different states which I named after me and had some less privileged children studying on scholarship in different schools in my name. Money wasn't a problem to me anymore and I used my money to do good to people, especially the poor

CHAPTER SEVENTY EIGHT

"Good evening" I greeted casually taking a seat."Good evening too" He replied clearing his throat."Please go straight to the point, I don't have time" I said crossing my legs."How impatient you have become" He muttered rubbing his forehead like he always does when he was nervous.What he told me really shocked me. He talked about how his phone had been stolen the day he got home and how he had lost my contact. He talked about how he had received it after some weeks and expected my calls or text but never saw them.Then when school had resumed then he had gone back to school. And after some weeks he had expected me to visit him at least even though I never called but he never saw any sign of me.He said that after some months Martha had come to his place unexpectedly and told him that I had an accident and died in the process back at home. I couldn't believe my ears. I didn't believe him at first but then he asked me to call Martha myself and confirm it in his front. He said she had
