Malam Yusuf is dressed in a yellow shirt and a pair of jean trousers, while Mrs. Cora is dressed in a purple gown. She has her head uncovered. “I have arrived, mum…,” Amir said and sat down on the couch. “Please, remove those sunglasses.” Amir removes the sunglasses and says, “Mum, what sort of discussion do you want to have with me that can’t wait till tomorrow?” “Your dad wants to speak to you.” “What happened, dad?” Amir said, gazing at Malam Yusuf's face. Malam Yusuf clears his throat and says, “Where is Ava?” “Ava? You sound funny. She is at home…,” Amir said with a smile. “Amir, when will you stop lying? I never taught you to lie,” Mrs. Cora cuts in. “I beg your pardon, Mum. I am telling you nothing but the truth.” “Nothing but the truth?” Malam Yusuf stands up from the couch and moves closer to Amir
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Silas crumbles some seasonings inside the rice he is cooking. He tastes the food and sees that he has added the ingredients in the right proportions. The pepper isn’t too much, neither other ingredients. When the food is done, Silas quenches the stove's fire. He serves the food inside two plates and leaves the kitchen, clutching the plates. “I don’t know what the hell is wrong with you. It’s a bright new day for crying out loud,” Silas said when he got to the bedroom and still saw Rachael slugging on the bed. Out of annoyance, Silas taps Rachael only to discover that Rachael's body is cold. It is quite below the degree for a normal body temperature. “Rachael! Rachael!” Silas screamed, gazing at Rachael’s eyes. Rachael's eyes are closed and she is unconscious. “Help! Help! Somebody, help me!” Silas said and rushed out of the bedroom. It’s a bright Tuesday afternoon. The sun is scorching and most pedestrians can be seen clutc
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ The bus stops in the front of Hawaiian specialist hospital. By that time, many of the passengers inside the bus had alighted from the bus when they got to their destinations. Silas whispers some words to the woman sitting beside him. The two of them had been engaged in a long conversation during the journey. In the conversation, she told Silas that she was going for the funeral of her father-in-law who died in a ghastly motor accident. She said the man was inside the car with his only wife when the accident happened. The man and the driver died at the spot. His wife on the other hand, only sustained a minor injury on her limb. Silas was so compassionate about the whole thing. He prayed for the souls of the deceased to rest in perfect peace. Silas waves at the woman as he alights from the bus. The whole surroundings looks very neat. The ornamental crops are looking very beautiful, they hav
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Rachael clutches her bag from the table and walks out of the room. She is dressed in a black suit, a black hat and a pair of blue shoes. When she gets to the sitting room, she sees a plateful of fried yam on the table. She can also see a bowlful of fried egg, a fork and a mugful of water. Rachael glances through the wall clock. The time is 6:50 am. She sits down close to the table. She says a short prayer and begins to eat her food. She isn’t a fan of fried yam, but she won’t allow the food to waste because she loves fried egg so much. She dips forkfuls of fried yam into the fried eggs and the food ends inside her stomach. As soon as Rachael drops the mug on the table after gulping the water, she sees Silas walking in the direction of the sitting room. Silas has his body exposed. He only has a Chelsea towel tied round his waist and he is wearing a pair of purple slippers. Sila
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ It’s a breezy evening. Silas had just returned from the field where he had gone to play football. He removes his jersey and boots and wears a brown polo shirt, oil-stained trousers and a pair of blue slippers. He clutches his phone and walks in the direction of the door. When Silas gets inside the kitchen, he washes the dishes. When he is done, he puts a pot on the lighted stove and starts the cooking. He wants to cook rice, but he changes his mind and decides to cook indomie because he is tired and he would love to go and get some zizz very soon. He is wearing a white apron as he carries a hot pot from the stove. He puts all the required ingredients inside the hot water, like Maggi, salt, sliced onion, tomato paste, pepper, etc., and places the pot back on the stove. He increases the burning fire, using the stove’s handle. A few minutes later, he puts raw indomie inside the pot and covers the pot. When the indomie gets done, Si
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ The day is bright. It’s bright and fine. The whole of Hawaii is full of noises as a result of people moving from one place to another because it’s a working day. The falling leaves and birds also constitute these noises. Since Malam Yusuf is now a stay-at-home husband, he is found at home most of the time. Except sometimes when he goes to visit his few friends. He will go to this friend’s house very early in the morning and return before midday. Malam Yusuf’s verdict is that exposure to too much sunlight causes bad color of the skin. So he stays indoors to avoid the sunlight from causing damage to his fair skin. Malam Yusuf walks into the sitting room and sees his wife clutching a mug. He is dressed in an old blue shirt and shorts. Mrs. Cora, on the other hand, is dressed in a yellow gown. She has her hair covered with a green scarf. Malam Yusuf sits down beside Mrs. Cora and says, “Why would you prefer tea as breakfast when there i
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ The room is noisy. The noise is emanating from the radio. Silas was engrossed in the song emanating from the radio. It was a song by his favorite musician. He has to stop every other thing he is doing, so that he can listen to Don Moen’s song. As soon as the song finishes, Silas plays the song again. He plays the song two more times before he turns off the radio. Silas is happy as he walks in the direction of the bedroom. The happiness is caused as a result of the song he had listened to. He is still singing the song by heart and the happiness is just like when he was listening to the song from the radio. It was Don Moen’s latest song, so Silas will not forgo the song anytime soon. Silas removes his jersey and his pair of white boots. It was a Chelsea Jersey which he bought a long time ago from the boutique. Jersey still looks new and neat though. He places the Jersey on the small table beside the bed and lies down on the bed. H
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Sadie walks into the sitting room. The room looks very neat. She had ordered Sofia to tidy up the clutter. She had given the other siblings work to do, except Chloe, who was too young to work. Sadie told Jasper to fetch water into the empty barrels. The barrels were two in number. While Hayden was asked to wash the dirty dishes. The children were so happy and they did the domestic chores apportioned to them by Sadie. When Ava was around, she would complain that she didn’t want the children to be engaged in any house chores. She had told Amir to get a maid, but Silas wouldn’t listen. He would say he didn’t want anyone who was not related to him to live with him under the same roof. Sadie, on the other hand, is against Ava’s suggestion. She wants the children to be engaged in domestic chores so that they can curb loneliness and build themselves physically. “You should let those children be. Domestic chores won't harm those children.

She must be feeling tired because of the heat. Five minutes later, she leaves the sitting room holding her bag. She gets to the bedroom and drops the bag on the table. She quickly changes her clothes. She wears a simple gown and sits down on the bed. She takes her phone and begins to press it. She leaves the bedroom for the kitchen. On getting there, she can see fried rice inside the pot. She quickly serves herself and leaves the kitchen. When she gets to the sitting room, she sits down and begins to eat the food. She is eating the food slowly. She is enjoying the food too. She sips water from time to
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Silas can see a man holds Rachael’s hand. He can’t believe what his eyes see. He believes Rachael is a decent and godly woman, so seeing her in the grip of another gentleman makes him lose trust in Rachael. He hissed and walked in the direction of the door. “I can explain!” Rachael said. “You don’t have to explain anything,” Rufus said, releasing Rachael's hand. Rachael turns backwards and faces Rufus. She is raging with anger. It was as if she should get a knife and stab Rufus in the stomach. “Do you know you have just caused a problem in my home?” “Your home? Or is that man your husband?” Rufus said. He was hoping to receive an answer from Rachael. Rachael can’t control the tears. Tears are running down her face as she speaks. “Yeah, he is my husband. He thinks I am cheating on him.” “Why won’t you cheat on that poor man? You don’t have to cry because of that pauper,” Rufus said. He tries to touch Rachael’s hand, but Rachae
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ “Do I look like someone who needs your counsel?” the man said with laughter. “Then what are you here for?” “I won’t waste your time. Besides, I will be leaving Hawaii today.” The man is gazing at Sadie as if he is trying to figure out what Sadie is thinking in her mind. He knows Sadie must be scared. “Don’t be afraid. I am not here to hurt you. Do you know one Mrs. Ava?” “Mrs. Ava? Where is she?” Sadie said, surprised. She is now interested in the conversation.” “Calm down, ma. Do you know her?” “Yeah. She is the first wife of my husband.” “Good. And I guess you are Mrs. Sadie?” “Yeah. You seem to know things about my family. Please, who are you?” “My name is Peter. My boss sent me to Hawaii.” “And who is your boss, if I may ask?” “Ava’s dad.” Peter’s last words dropped on Sadie like a bombshell. She gazes at Peter for a few seconds and refuses to talk. She gathers some courage and says, “I never knew that. What exactly do you wa
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ It is a bright Friday morning, Rachael walks into the sitting room. She sees Silas sitting on a couch. She drops her bag, which matches with the clothes she is wearing, on the table. She sits beside Silas and says, “Have you been able to contact your father?” “No, I haven’t. I hope I will before the end of today.” “Alright. What’s wrong with you?” “I always feel bored whenever you leave the house.” “I am sorry for that. Aren’t you going to the gym today?” “Yes, I will.” “Then you will meet with people who will keep you company.” “Alright. You have to eat your breakfast now to avoid going to work late since you were taught in the last seminar.” “You haven’t forgotten about the seminar,” Rachael said with a smile. “I don’t forget things too often. I will be right back in a jiffy,” Silas said, and left the sitting room. Silas returns to the sitting room, clutching a tray. He d

Besides, I am filled up already.”“It’s alright. No one should argue with a doctor.”“You can say that again, Liam,” Margaret said, and the couple laughed. Liam and Dr. Kennedy leaves the dining room, while Margaret waits inside the dining room. She ensures that she tidies the dining table before she leaves the dining room. When Margaret gets to the sitting room, she meets the friends discussing with each other. They are seated on the same couch. She sits down on an empty couch and begins to listen to them. She didn’t utter any words throughout the conversation. Over the years, she has turned into more of a listener, instead of a speaker. Besides, it is advisable to be a listener rather than a speaker.“I shall be leaving for home now,” Dr. Kennedy said after the whole conversation.“Really? I though

To her greatest surprise, she sees her parents. She wants to close the door, but they beg her to allow them enter the sitting room. She allows them inside the sitting room and tells them to sit down. She sits down on a different couch. “How are you doing?” Malam Yusuf said. “I am fine. How about you?” “I am fine. Where is Silas?” “He has gone out. Do you want anything from him?” “We came to apologize,” Mrs. Cora said. Rachael burst into an uncontrollable laughter. Mrs. Cora wonders why she is laughing.

Rachael hits her softly and says, “Why are you looking at everywhere?” “This house is so beautiful.” “Thank you very much.” Rachael gives the cupful of water to Rose and sits down beside her on the couch. Rose takes a sip of the tea and drops it on the table. “I thought you are going to finish the tea,” Rachael said. “It’s hot. I want it to get cold first.” “Alright. You never told me that you are coming here today. I thought you were kidding me on the phone.” “I meant every bit of my words.
