Semua Bab LOVE & WEB: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Chichi locks her car as she drives in, she is startled to hear the sound of laughter from her apartment, she walks towards the door to be sure if it is really from her apartment, the voices and laughter grew louder. She barges in immediately; her mother is seated at the dining table with a familiar face. They looked in her direction at the sound of the door "Chichi you are back! We have an august visitor" her mother had announced, Chichi's leg lost every nerve and vein in it, she stood as still as a rock wondering what the hell this guy was doing in her house, why would her mother bring her ex-boyfriend to her house?Richard waves from where he is seated "Hi chi"Chichi who is still in shock looks at him disgustingly. Eight years ago, Richard meant the world to her, they had dated for a year before she realized those overprotective, insecure and monitoring attributes of his were far from what she thought to be love and care, he was obsessed with her all the while but she was too blind

CHICHIChichi steps on the brake suddenly at the middle of the road, she struggles to catch her breath, herhands are shaking terribly but still fixed on the steering. She puts her gear in park, opens the door, and alights. She has been driving for hours with her mind occupied with so many thoughts and flashes of the attack from her past keep coming back. She felt too weak all of a sudden and wishes her life could end, her pain and agony would all go away, she wants to go away from this wicked world She sits by the concrete culvert on the road, but her headlight is left on, her car door is also left open, she just sits staring into the sky then all of a sudden, she screams into the quiet night. The tears she has been trying to hold all these years gushed from her eyes, she released them as she couldn't pretend to be strong anymore. She cries bitterly, she had thought running from her past or anything that connects her to her past would make her forget about her pain but no, that wall

TADETade gave the girls a puzzled look as the knockcontinues; she told Nora to call them back andhangs up the call. She looks at the time and wonders "who on earth knocks on people's doors in the middle of the night?" Susan on the other hand heaves a sigh of relief as the knock interrupted their talk time at the right time. She chips in quickly "It must be your neighbor or anyone from the compound or who else has the key to the main gate?" Tade raised and dropped her shoulders indicating that she has no idea why her neighbor would be knocking on her door since she wasn't even friendly to any one of them right from inception to avoid any interference in her private life. One thing Tade has learned in time was to make friends everywhere except her house or street, she gained enough bad publicity on her street after her wedding which ended up in shams. For months, she walked in shame, and most times she wishes the ground could open and swallow her every time she hears people talking o

NORAIt's a beautiful day and a start of a new week,Nora's mom walks into her daughter's room, sheslides the curtain open and the hot sun shining brightly peeped in. Nora stretches as she rolled off her bed, she greets her mom who in return said some prayers for her as she hugs her.I pray God provides a home for you my daughter so that I can come and visit you anytime I like rather than lie about my health just to drag you down" Nora shakes her head and smiled at her mom "But I have a house you can come to anytime, no one is objecting..." Her mom ignores her and walks straight to the door which she shut as she got out of Nora's room.Nora checks the time on her phone and exclaims "Oh my Godness! it's nine already!" She can't remember the last time she had slept this good, even during weekends at her place, there is always one or two things to keep her up late at night and wake her up very early in the morning.She smiles to herself "no matter how beautiful the city you journeyed to

NORAThe sound of plates and forks filled the air as they settle discourse on the table. It was a busy morning that day, waitresses and waiters keep going back and forth attending to orders and clearing tables. Nora clears her throat as she gulps down a glass of juice, she can feel his eyes on her, stinging her like a little fire placed behind her earlobe, but she finds it hard to meet his gaze. She drops her cutleries and moves the plate forward a bit to indicate that she is done with her meal. Spence couldn't stop staring at her, his meal has barely been touched, while she ate, he watched her eat instead. He has been stupid all along, young and dumb perhaps to must have allowed her to slip off his hand despite every green light she gave him, he wonders why he stayed away for long and never even tried to speak to her once when they were younger. His phone buzzed, and for once he took his eyes off Nora to look at his phone, he put it on silent instantly and returns his gaze to Nora wh
