“Magdalene, you can’t continue to sob all day long. Willy is gone, so just cheer up and continue your life. Besides, you are yet to give birth to your first child. So there is a lot of hope for you,” Alfred said.

“So I will be giving birth to a fatherless child. This is unbelievable!” Willy said and cried the more. “A fatherless child? No, you don’t have to think like this…,” Alfred said, and he was interrupted by the knocks emanating from the door.

“Hold on! I am coming!” Alfred said. He stood up from the couch and walked towards the entryway. When he was closer to the entryway, he pulled the door and the door went open.

“Good morning, sir!” Rufus said. “Morning, sir,” Alfred said and gazed at Rufus and Tristan’s faces simultaneously. “We are here to see Mrs. Magdalene. Is she around?” Tristan said.

“Yeah. Do come in,” Alfred said with a gesture. “Thank you very much!” Tristan said, and they entered through the entryway. “M

  • COMPANY   ON A SUNDAY MORNING

    ❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ It was a bright Sunday morning. It was the ninth month of Magdalene’s pregnancy. She had tidied the sitting room before the cock crowed. She walked into the kitchen and started preparing her meal. All of a sudden, she hit her leg on a large cupboard. She screamed and fell on the floor. Alfred could hear her scream clearly from the sitting room. He had been sitting there and scrolling his mobile phone. He dropped the phone on the couch and rushed to the kitchen. When he got to the kitchen, he met Magdalene in an unconscious state. “OMG!” he screamed. He quickly got a bowlful of water from the table. He emptied the bowl on Magdalene’s body. Magdalene stretched out her legs and arms. She coughed and opened her eyes gently. Alfred was very happy to see his wife. He displayed his set of teeth and raised Magdalene from the floor. As soon as Magdalene stood up from the floor, water started dripping from her gown.“What happened, darling?” Alfr

  • COMPANY   SAFE DELIVERY

    ❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ The day was very bright and everywhere was hot too. Alfred had received a phone call from the doctor that Magdalene had delivered a bouncy baby boy. The good news was worth it after the stress he had been through all through Magdalene’s pregnancy. As soon as Alfred picked up his car key from the table, he walked in the direction of the door. He was dressed in a polo and black trousers because of the heat. He quickly entered his car and drove the car away. All through the journey to the hospital, Alfred was thanking God for sustaining the lives of mother and child. He could remember vividly the cases of parents who lost their lives in the course of giving birth. Alfred’s wish had always been for Magdalene to give birth safely. That was the main reason he never allowed her to engage herself in a lot of stressful work. He had stood in the gap with Magdalene and did a lot of tedious work. It was quarter to 2pm when Alfred got to the hos

He had waken up very early in the morning, taken his bath and eaten his breakfast. He stuck the slices of bread inside his mouth quickly and drank his tea. When he got to the sitting room, he could see Alfred and Magdalene, clutching Edwin. He dropped his luggage beside the couch and sat down.“I guess you are set for your new school?” Alfred said.“Yes, dad. I couldn’t sleep all through the night. I am desperate to be in the creative writing school,” Davies said, and gazed at Magdalene who was breastfeeding Edwin.“I see. It’s a boarding school and I want you to behave like the disciplined child you’ve always been.”“Why would you doubt him, Alfred? He has always been a good child,” Magdalene said and raised her head.“I am not talking to you, darling. Davies, I hope you heard what I said?” Alfred said.“Yes, dad. I will miss everyone,” Davies

King Rehoboth wasn’t left out, he was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, a pair of white trousers and a pair of white shoes. It was that part of the year when California celebrated her victory over Greece. For the past three years, the festival has been celebrated inside the king’s inner chamber. Last year, the king invited dignitaries and men of high calibers from different parts of the world. Some of these dignitaries were the president of Nigeria, the president of China, some governors and other kings. The festival had started at exactly 8 am, American time. The inner chamber was filled with people dressed in white attire. Cooper headed different sessions of the event until the event was brought to a hold at noon. Everyone returned home after they had dined in the inner chamber. Ever since the advent of

  • COMPANY   VISITING DAY

    ❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Since it was a Friday, Alfred and Sarah got to their destination on time. Fridays were not counted as working days in California and the USA at large. So many people stayed at home. The main users of the road on Fridays and weekends were pedestrians. There were also cab drivers who conveyed students to school. Alfred sighed before he alighted from the vehicle. Sarah, on the other hand, had alighted from the vehicle about two minutes ago. She was dazzled by the beautiful and the serene environment of the school.“What are you thinking, Sarah?” Alfred tapped her on the back.“I was only carried away by the beauty of this place.”“But you’ve come here several times. You’ve come here more than three times if I am not mistaking.”“That’s true.” “Look at those women.” Sarah gestured.“It’s visiting day, so I don’t hope to see less than a thousand parents in this place. It’s not easy to keep one’s children in a boarding school.” Alfred said,

    ❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Alfred was reading newspapers when Magdalene walked in. She was holding an envelope. She had gone to the hospital in the morning. Before she went to the hospital, she had prepared breakfast and tidied up the clutter. Alfred was so engrossed in the newspapers that he never knew Magdalene was standing right in front of him. Magdalene tapped Alfred gently on the back. It was then that Alfred realized that Magdalene was standing close to him.“Darling, you are back.” Alfred dropped the newspapers on the floor. He watched Magdalene as she sat down beside him.“When will you stop reading newspapers? You couldn’t even notice my presence. That is how a burglary will occur in your very eyes and you wouldn’t know, all because you are reading a newspaper.” Magdalene frowned. Alfred couldn’t hold the laughter. He laughed and laughed. He finally halted and said, “You know it’s not possible. You don’t have to blame me. Besides, I am getting informati

    ❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Davies was so eager to go home. He has been away from home for the past seven months. He had called Alfred one fateful morning and told him that he had finished his examination. Alfred had promised to come and pick him up next week. Davies stuck his bag to his back. He clutched his luggage. He greeted Gino and Gina before he left the hostel. Gino and Gina were identical twins, so it was difficult for people to differentiate them. They were international students from China. Actually, they weren’t citizens of China. They were citizens of America by birth. They had relocated with their parents to China in search of greener pastures. Many people never believed that they were Americans because they spoke the Chinese language most of the time. The few people close to them could easily identify them as Americans because of the color of their skin and hair. Davies was very angry when the housemaster introduced Gino and Gina as his roommat

To his greatest surprise, it was Liam. He grimaced, closed the door and they walked in the direction of the settees. Davies asked Liam what he would like to take, but Liam refused. Liam told Davies that he wasn’t famished. Davies pleaded with Liam to take cold water and Liam acceded to that wholeheartedly. Davies stood up from the settee and returned, holding a mug. He handed over the mug to Liam. Liam thanked him and emptied the mug before the twinkle of an eye. Davies knew the kind of friend he had. He knew Liam didn’t like to be disturbed when drinking water. So when Liam had finished drinking the water, he said, “Do

Before Magdalene and her baby, Edwin and Alfred left home in the morning, Magdalene told Davies to tidy up the clutter and clean the bathroom. As soon as Davies ate his breakfast, he tidied up the clutter. He started from the sitting room. Next, he tidied the clutter of Edwin’s room before he tidied his own room. He cleaned the bathrooms and toilets with soapy water. The work was too much for Davies, so he felt tired. He was so engrossed in the television when he heard the buzzing sound of the buzzer. He muttered some words before he stood up from the couch. It was then that he realized that he was still tired after the morning engagements. He was so excited about seeing Liam.

When he returned to his room, he glanced through his phone’s screen and saw two missed calls. He became worried when he discovered that Alfred was the caller. He wondered why Alfred would call him in the morning. However, when Gino and Gina came into the room, he borrowed Gino’s phone and gave Alfred two peep calls. Luckily, Alfred called Gino’s number. Alfred never knew who owned the phone number, so Davies quickly introduced himself.“Magdalene has given birth to a bouncy baby boy.” These were Alfred’s words before he cut the call that morning. Davies was sitting under the marquee. It just rained so everywhere looked wet. Davies dialed Gina’s number and waited for Gina to pick up the call. When Gina picked up the call, they exchanged pleasantries. “I am under the marquee we hosted my

    LAST TERM IN SCHOOL

    ❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌It was a bright Monday morning, two weeks after Alfred and Davies returned from the hospital. Davies was inside the sitting room when Magdalene walked in. Magdalene had gone to the mall on Saturday to buy food items, because Davies would be resuming school today. When Magdalene got home that day, he showed Davies everything he had bought. Davies took a gaze at the food items. They were majorly what he wanted. He thanked Magdalene.“I hope you have put the food items inside the car’s boot?” Magdalene said gently.“Yes, mum. I finished that some minutes ago. Have you eaten your food?”“No. I will eat my food when I come back. It’s time we went. You shouldn’t be late on your first day at school.”“Before we go, mum, can I tell you something?”“Alright. Be very fast.”“Edwin told me you rarely eat…”“He did?” Magdalene cut in.“Yeah. Please, ensure you eat often because of the baby. I wouldn’t want you to have a miscarriage.”“Miscarriage? Well, yo

    HOME CALLING

    ❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ King Rehoboth walked into the inner chamber. Beside him were two guards. He was dressed in his regalia, holding his office staff. As soon as the chiefs saw him, they greeted him. The king replied to them before he sat down. A guard stood on the left and held the king’s office staff while the other guard stood on the right.“I have called you here today because of our last discussion,” King Rehoboth said.“With all humility my king, you mean the discussion about Alfred?” Cooper said, standing up.“Yeah. You have a retentive memory.” King Rehoboth smiled. “I have decided that we will help Alfred and his son with money, so that the surgery can be carried out on them.”“From an African adage, my king, a man doesn’t gulp down the hand that feeds it. Alfred has been a backbone to this state. He risked his dear life just to see that others were happy. I think this is the best time we can show our appreciation to him. We mustn’t let him be handica

    STRANGE CALLS

    ❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ When Magdalene got home, she changed her clothes and sat down on one of the couches. She had branched to the mall to buy popcorn and groundnuts as soon as she left Edwin’s school. She took out the popcorn and the groundnut from the bag and started consuming them. After she consumed everything, she became bored. She turned on the television and started gazing at the actions displayed on the television screen. It was an episodic film. Magdalene had watched the first and the second episodes of the film. The actions of the film hadn’t reached the climax, so she had hoped to watch the third episode of the film one day. She visited the cassette store two days ago. She had gone to buy an interesting film when she saw the third episode of the film she had been longing to watch. Without any hesitation, she picked up the cassette and paid for it. It cost 15 USD. It was worth it because it was an interesting film. At exactly 9:13 am, Magdalene’s s

Different thoughts were running through her mind. She had left home for Sarah’s house in the morning. She told Sarah about her ordeal. Sarah was so shocked. She told Magdalene that Alfred and Davies had left for home the previous night. Magdalene became more worried. She had returned home and refused to eat. Edwin walked into the sitting room and met Magdalene. Edwin sat beside Magdalene and said, “Mum, you can’t continue like this. You taught me to pray in every situation, but here you are thinking. You don’t have to cause more havoc.”“I couldn’t take it anymore. I have tried Alfred’s and Davies’ phone numbers several times, but they weren’t going through. I hope nothing happens to them,” Magdalene said and couldn’t hold her tears. Edwin couldn’t control himself, he began to cry

    LIAM'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

    ❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ The moon was already out. The streets were lighted by the streetlights. The streetlights were used to see in night in California. The lights were charged via the energy from the sun in the day and when the night came, they illuminated everywhere. The lights were so bright that even when a pin fell down, it could easily be picked up. Despite the streetlights, there were still some nooks and crannies in California that experienced darkness because the streetlights couldn’t reach there. King Rehoboth dialogued with the citizens several times. He would tell them that he would create more streetlights for the state. The citizens would leave his palace happily. Yet, King Rehoboth hasn’t been able to create any streetlights. Rehoboth wasn’t a stingy man. He could give anything except his wives. He grew to love his wives. The major problem King Rehoboth had was financial problems. He did not have enough money to carry out such a project.“The proje
