❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Amir alights from the sedan. He walks in the direction of the building, clutching a briefcase. When he gets inside, he sees Sadie and Sofia sitting on the couch. They are discussing before Amir walks in.“Welcome, dad…” Amir drops his briefcase on the table. He turned back to reply to Sofia. “Thank you, Sofia. How are you doing?”“I am fine, dad,” Sofia said, gazing at Amir.“How are you, honey?” Sadie said. She is sitting beside Sofia on the couch. Both mother and daughter are dressed in blue gowns. Sadie had gone to the mall to buy the gowns to celebrate Chloe’s birthday party. They had worn the clothes during the birthday party and everyone admired it, especially Amir.“I am good. I hope everything is fine because I don’t know why both of you are dressed in your blue gowns today?”“Don’t be afraid. Everything is fine,” Sadie said with more smiles. “Well, Sofia insisted that we wear the gowns. We wore the gowns to the grocery store an
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Amir enters the sitting room. He sees Malam Yusuf and Mrs. Cora sitting on the same couch. 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
