The guards stood up abruptly, each trying to look serious and business like, they held themselves straight, while trying to adjust their facial expressions; occasionally, they looked at their uniform to ensure all was in order. Hard as they tried, on such occasions, they were nervous as hell, it wasn’t every day that the brat showed up, but when she did, she always gave everyone something to remember, or more appropriately, something one would rather wish to forget, but wouldn’t dare to, because of fear of a repeat. Walking up the few stairs nonchalantly yet majestically, ignoring everyone and their silly salutations, coming up the few steps to the door, she jerked her head upwards, tossing her hair stylishly in the process as she waited for the door man to get the door. She passed through ignoring them all as if they were non-existent.So far so good, it seemed today she was in a good mood, content simply with ignoring everyone. But they had all learnt from experie

Risha froze at her place, the voice and those words stimulating something deep inside her being. She turned and a slight involuntary gasped escaped her slightly parted lips, hardly audible to anyone but herself. It was the person her father had been speaking to. He was a young tall figure, with sharp serene eyes, lean figure, frank looking face and beautifully pointed male nose, not too build but not bad looking either, he had those exceptionally handsome face features calm piercing eyes, small thin lips and thick brows, that made ladies stare, just as she was doing now.She tried failingly to stop her heart from analysing the enigmatic wonder before her. He was smiling charmingly at her a few steps away; he had come to stand close to the secretary.Risha quickly looked away, blinked quickly as she tried to regain her rattled composure. She realized he was still speaking. “If Hanifah was rude to you, then I am apologizing on her behalf” he said smiling at her.

He turned over slowly, rubbing the sleep of his eyes as he reached to turn off the alarm clock at the bed side, it was 3am and the weather was a little colder than usual, he rolled back into the bed lying on his back to stare at the ceiling for a few minutes, trying to pull together his resolve, he would wake up for kiyamul layl he just couldn’t make up his mind immediately, he took a minute to brood before forcing himself up despite the seemingly irresistible temptation to go back to sleep, slipping his bathroom slippers. He slowly made his way to his bath room to perform his ablution, while he performed this task, his mind drifted back to the events of the previous day. A little smile permitted his lips as he remembered how she had barged in to the conference room, in was both interesting and surprising to finally have a glimpse of the infamous Farisha Shehu, his boss’s daughter, he had watched in utter surprise as she had reduced the great Alhaji Shehu into a weak confused man wit

She stared at her reflection in the mirror, dressed in full bridal regalia, she was just absolutely stunning, her beautiful hair was well combed and stylishly made and covered in a transparent red veil that covered her from head to toe, her makeup was perfect, her eyes looked shaper with the eye liner, although very mildly, the blusher made her cheeks pink emphasising her beautiful cheek bones, her red lips looked redder with the lipstick on. Despite her blunt refusal to have any makeup, Aunty Fatima wasn’t having any of it, “This is a once in a life time experience, it is the day that is the best for us women, and you know the funny part? Good as it is, we pray for it to happen only once.” Aunty Fatima was a wife to her father’s friend and a bosom friend of her late mother. As she sat there staring at herself in the mirror and listening to voices in the hall, she had to admit to herself, this was really happening. Daddy kept true to his

She tossed and turned over in her bed for a few seconds before finally becoming fully awake, she rubbed her eyes to clear the sleep, she wasn’t sure what had disturbed her sleep, turning over, she peeked at the bed side clock, it was just 3:30am, wondering what her woken her, she sat up as her ears picked up a strange sound, something musical like a person humming in a distance. Puzzled she frowned automatically coming to stand on her feet “what is that?” she wondered confused, standing up, she walked towards the sound, strangely, it was coming from the wall, getting even more confused, she slipped her slippers on and walked to the wall, putting her ears against the wall she listened holding her breath. It was a beautiful sound she admitted to herself, slow, beautiful and melodious. She could not quite place her finger on the music, the more she heard it, the more she was captivated by it. Who could be making that sound she wondered, obviously, it was coming from t
