It was midnight, and Rebecca could not stop crying. Even though she saw her mother's death coming, she couldn't believe it actually happened. She wished she could wake up for that nightmare. At some point, she got up to go to the bathroom. As she was passing by Emmanuel's room, she heard him crying in his room. She opened the door and walked into the room. He was sitting by the edge of the bed crying when she walked into. When he looked up and saw her, he ran to her and hugged her. She couldn't feel his tears wetting her clothes.
"I'm so sorry," Rebecca cried.
"What are we going to do now?" He asked.
"I don't really know Emmanuel, but I'm sure God is with us," Rebecca said.
"If God is with us, why did he take our mother away from us?" He asked.
"Because his place is better than here," Rebecca replied.
"I wish this was not real," he said.
"Me too," Rebecca replied.

About a 3 months later, Richard had started his business of poultry and fish farming. Things haven't been easy for him from the beginning, because he hasn't sold any of his product yet. He was able to raise five thousand chickens and countless number of fish. Today was a big day, because he was going to sell his fish for the time, and it was also Rebecca's birthday. He woke up early in the morning around 6 am and took a bath before any of his roommates could wake up. He got dressed in a blue Shirt and a black trouser and left the room.He boarded a taxi that will take him to his poultry farm. The poultry was about five kilometers away from his university, and about 3 kilometers away from where Rebecca is staying. Her Aunt sent one of elderly cousins to live with her and Richard decided to move back to the hostel. Rebecca tried her best to him convince to stay, but Richard thought she needed her family. Since then, Rebecca has been very mad at Richard. She hasn
It was a lovely morning; the university compound was surrounded by many students as it was the first day of the semester.Everybody was walking in a hurry heading to his or her faculty. Then came Richard, a boy with an average height. He was wearing a T-shirt and black jeans. On his feet were sneakers that seemed to have matched his shirt. He got admitted into the institution 5 months ago with the help of his elder sister.She worked tirelessly to see that he got admitted into the university he desired. For that reason, Richard put in all his best in his studies making him the student with the best result in his faculty the previous semester.He walked in a hurry as though he was running because he was seriously late. He usually departs his dormitory by 7 am in the morning which was very close to his faculty. But due to the fact that he had changed a dormitory, he had to wake up much earlier than that if he wants to get to his
Richard entered his room in the dormitory. He met 3 other students which he was supposed to occupy the room with. The room was of medium size with a wardrobe located opposite to the entrance. There were two metal bunk arranged at the right side of the room, and the third one is placed on the left side.There was a ceiling fan moving at a very fast speed. Two of his roommates seemed to have just arrived from their home with their luggage."You are all welcome," Richard said to them and proceeded to shake each and every one of them."Are you also in this room?" one of the boys asked."Yes I am, there is my stuff," Richard pointed a table with some items on it."You must be rich, how can you leave the door opened with your stuff left unprotected?" one of the boys asked surprisingly."I don't think I own anything that worths stealing in my bag," Richard grinned. "You never know the importance of
The next day was a very wet day. Richard got caught in the rain on his way to his faculty as soon as he got out of his dormitory.He quickly ran to building close by because the running water can ruin the new shoes he was wearing. He folded his arms and watched as the rain fell heavily. About 30 minutes later, a girl in her school uniform approached from afar.She was holding an umbrella with her right hand, while her left hand was in the pocket of the blue sweater she was wearing. She wore a white sweat hat that covered her ears with black gloves in her hands.The combination looked beautiful on her that Richard kept staring wanting to figure out who the girl was. When she got close, he noticed that it was the same girl he had an argument with the other day. They both looked away.Albeit Richard is not interested in secondary school girls, something about the girl seemed fascinating.
By the 3 O'clock the next day, Richard met Prof. Grace in her office. "Good afternoon Ma'am," Richard greeted as he entered the office."Good afternoon, how are you doing," she asked."I am doing okay," Richard responded."How are your studies?" She asked again."Excellent ma'am" Richard responded. "Good, that's what I love to hear," Prof. Grace said. "So, have you decided yet?""Yes I have, but only if it will be three times in a week," Richard conditioned."Three times is quite enough," the Professor agreed."Please sit there and let me finish some of my work before I will take you to my house and introduce you to my daughter," she added and Richard sat on a cushion opposite to her. She worked for about 30 minutes before she finally finished."Sorry I've kept you waiting, we can go now," Mrs Grace said as she stood up.She walked out of the office with Ric
The next day, Richard went his lectures early in the morning as usual. He was the first person to be in the lecture hall. So he sat at the first seat and watched as everyone walked in.He was expecting to see Janet, but she didn't come even after their lecturer arrived. As the lecturer was about to walk into the lectures hall, Paul quickly walked in before him because the lecturer does not allow anyone to walk in after he has. Paul looked around and noticed an empty seat beside Richard and he knew it was reserved for him. He quickly walked to Richard and sat on the seat beside him."I wonder what you always do in the morning that makes you come late for lectures," Richard nagged."I have been asking myself that too, but I couldn't come up with an answer," Paul responded."Well, you better get yourself together or you regret it later," Richard advised."Alright dad, I will take note of
Two days later, Richard was having a practical lesson in one of the computer labs in their department. The lab was big enough to be occupied by three hundred students. The practicals had been taking place for about 2 hours, and there is still an hour more. As the practical was going on, someone took an excuse from the lecturer delivering the lectures from the back door. Everyone turned to see whom the person was and noticed that it was Janet.“How may I help you?” the lecturer queried.“I have been unwell, sir, I have just been released from the hospital,” Janet explained.“Do you expect me to believe this?” the lecture doubted, but before he could say more words, the rest of the students in the hall confirmed that she was telling the truth.“Alright, you can come in and have a seat,” the lecturer instructed and Janet walked into the lab. As she was walking, Richard who was sitting in the front kept looking at her. 
Instantly, the party became disoriented and everyone started running for their safety. Albeit Richard was full of regret of why he remained behind in the first place, he still managed to hold Janet 's hand and ran with her. With no hesitation, she followed him as her dragged her along. As they headed out of the hall, they noticed that the police were capturing those that were outside.They quickly ran back not knowing what to do. Janet started crying because she was completely scared. Richard begin to imagine what he will tell his sister if he got arrested. Luckily, he saw a door located at the extreme of the hall. He held Janet 's hand and ran with her alongside him.He kicked the door with leg and they both entered. He locked the door soon after that. The room was all dark with a very low light. There were some bags of corns that were leaned against the wall of the room. Richard jumped and sat on one of the bags while Janet squatted by the door with her hand
