Today is Friday and the last day of Examination at Wisdom Expand Secondary school. As usual, the bell rang for assembly and all the present student are moving to the hall for their normal morning devotion. Rosela and her friend, Sandi and Katie moves also to that direction when Mr Solomon, their mathematics teacher called her out to his office. She left Sandi and Katie to answer Mr Solomon's call as she walked through the direction of his office were he was standing. "Goodmorning sir" Rosela greeted. "Yes Rosela, come inside" he asked showing her in. "Rosela walked without any fears knowing that if at all he tries anything stupid, she will scream to the hearing of everyone in the school. The principal address the student again and gave them a word of advice. "I was here the first day you started this examination and I hope you all have done well enough especially those that are in the finals getting ready for the senior school leaving certificate " he asked. In unism all the s
Sandi walked leisurely to Rosela's house to let out his feelings for her since there had already done with their exams. He thought of how Rosela would take it when he told her of his feelings. Sandi thought of how he will say it to her as he walked by the road side kicking spoilt orange like a one year old child.He prayed for Rosela to give him a positive answer as he would die if she says no to him. Sandi had a flash back concerning his father's tragedy love story he told him when he was ten. His father jack Husborn, in his youthful days fell in love with a beautiful and most intelligent girl in his school Funmi Oman without her knowing it. Funmi who on the other hand kept watching and hoping that one day Jack will say something meaningful to her, something that will swept her off her feet, something that will make her not to sleep at night but wants to see him all the time to fell and touch him all through the night without any wink of sleep around her eyes. He never knew that
Turning upside-down on the bed finding it difficult to sleep. It's was already 1am in the morning and Rosela wasn't at this time sleeping. She kept on remembering the sweet and bold words Sandi said to her the previous day. FLASH BACK ON SANDI'S WORD. "I love you Rosela, yes. I love you so very much with every bones in my body I do". She remembers as she held her head. She uses her hands to blind off her eyes to see if she could catch up some sleep but she couldn't as she kept on turning upside-down, left to right on the bed. When she couldn't take it anymore, she stretch out her hands on her bedside to reach for her phone. She found it and immediately put a call through Sandi's phone at 1:20am in the morning. PHONE RINGS.... The loud ring tones of Sandi awakens him just when the call entered. Sandi answered the phone without bothering to check the callers identity as his was still closing. He answered the phone call lightly still sleeping "Hello who is this" he said. Rose
Rosela felt so much joy this morning that her over joyed moods got everyone in the house to baffles, thinking what could have been the source of her sudden joy this morning. She sang continously as she iron her service dress. She has already arranged her shoes that was black all over to match up with the dress. Her dress was a short gown with belt to wrap around the waist when wearing it. The dress was being mixed with two colours, black and red. Rosela got ready first as she wore her gown and stood by the mirror that was showing her body fully. She robs powder on her face which she has never done before. Anuella felt like talking to her at that point but she couldn't bring up herself to do that. Anuella was missing Rosela already. They used to be best of friend back then before the incident of her father came into the picture and ruin the perfect relationship she used to have with Rosela. She could remember back then how Rosela uses to pet and carry her around the house even th
Some hours passed since Rosela, Kwensa and Anuella got back from school. They all waited for Dansanisa, their mother to return from school. Amunsa was in the bedroom resting as he sleeps, snoring really loud. Rosela, Kwensa and Anuella could here him from the living room. Dansanisa took long in returning back and that's got her children worried and worked up. Some hours went by as they keep trying their mothers cell phone, a phone call came through their father's cell, its was a call from Dansanisa although Austin Balastino a stranger to them actually because they never met or see him before was the one that talked. Anuella crab the phone immediately, screems out to her father from the living as she runs anxiously together with Rosela and Kwensa, to know why her mom was calling home instead of coming back as she told them in school while giving them transport fare. "Dad dad dad...."? She screems and ran inside the room without even giving knocking as usual. Anuella wanted to tak
Hospital machine making sounds from the room that Dansanisa was being kept for treatment. She wasn't awake yet due to excess lost of blood during the accident. Her legs was being tight up on the bed hanger with her head raised a little bit upward using the hospital bed. Rosela sat on the chair covering her face down on the already design hospital table sleeping. She got woken up not long after Anuella and Amunsa left for the house to get some food for them to eat. Anuella actually followed her father to get the food down to the hospital because of Kwensa refusal on following them back home. She wouldn't have definitely done it for Rosela because of what happened months ago. Rosela got woken up by the continus ticking oxygen machine sound to see Kwensa sitting far away from her near the ward door entrance bending his head down to the face floor. He was so fast asleep for the fact that he didn't get much sleep the previous night they came to the hospotal. Rosela called out to him in
Rosela got home the following day feeling weak and exhausted to see Mrs, Cognant doing her laundry outside her apartment. She had left Kwensa and Anuella together with her step-father, Amunsa. "Mrs Cognant, goodmorning" Rosela greeted. She lifted up her face and saw that it was Rosela "Ahh Rosela, how are you this morning"? She asked. "I'm fine Mrs Cognant" she answered. "Rosela didn't you and your brothers attend school today?" she asked while washing the clothes. She sigh "Yes Mrs Cognant " she said. "ha.. Why, what's wrong" she asked. "Mrs Cognant my mom had an accident three days ago " she said. "What! How, I mean what actually happened?" she said dropping the clothes she was washing inside the pocket. "Mmm Mrs Cognant we don't really know, it's was exams day and she gave the three of us transport money to go back home because she won't be able to join us immediately. We took the money and transported ourselves back home not until after waiting for hours, a call came in t
Rosela and Mrs Cognant reached the town hospital in an hour time to meet Kwensa and Anuella cleaning up Dansanisa using towel and luxe soap with not too worm water. Dansanisa layed on the bed still not opening her eye. It's was already 3 days after the accident. Rosela walked towards the bed side with Mrs Cognant and layed her hands on Dansanisa head as Kwensa and Anuella greeted Mrs Cognant"Good morning Mrs Cognant" Anuella and Kwensa greeted. "Morning Anuella, Kwensa how are you people doing?". She asked. "We are okay Mrs Cognant" Anuella replied. "And your mother, how is she doing today" Mrs Cognant asked looking at her lying on the bed. Anuella sigh "The doctor said she would be fine but she hasn't woken up since she was being brought her" she said. "Don't worry Anuella, the doctor knows what they are doing and they know that she would be fine okay" Mrs Cognant consoled. "I just wish she could opened her eyes and see us" Rosela said."mmmm, Everything is under God's contr
