There is a towel that travels round her waist. There is water on her body too. She must have just returned from the bathroom where she had gone to take her bath. Rachael pulls off the towel. She is putting on only underwear. She moves in the direction of the wardrobe. She removes a blue shirt and a pair of black skirts from the wardrobe and closes it. Clutching the clothes with both her hands, Rachael moves in the direction of the bed. She wears the clothes silently. She wonders if the clothes fit her well, so she picks up her make-up kit and moves in the direction of the large mirror. Standing close to the mirror, Rachael looks at herself inside the mirror. She likes what she sees. The clothes look great on her, especially the blue shirt. She is applying make-up on her face and looking in th

She uses a brown beret to cover her head too. This shows that she is quite intentional about her dressing. Rachael keeps looking at Rose and she walks into the sitting room. She is still dumbfounded because she is not expecting Rose today. “Good morning, Rachael,” Rose said with a smile. “Good morning, Rose. How are you?” “I am fine. You look so surprised. I am sure you aren’t expecting to see me today.” “Yes, of course.” “I guess as much. Can I sit down, please?” “Yes, do.” Rose stood for a few minutes looking at Rachael’s face and smiling. She could see surprise written on Rachael’s face. She drops her bag gently on the table and sits down beside Rose on the couch. “I hope I am highly welcome?” Rose said. Rachael knows that Rose is actually teasing. Sh

She is dressed in a brown gown and a red hat. She is sitting in the driver’s seat. She picks up her bag and alights from the car. Sadie moved in the direction of the door. On getting closer to the door, she knocked on the door twice and uttered some words. The door goes open and Sadie can see Hayden. Hayden greets Sadie. He was happy to see Sadie again. Not only him, but all the children have missed Sadie and have been waiting for her to return home. Sadie uses her right hand to rub Hayden’s head. She does this often and Hayden loves the sensation it gives. Hayden collects Sadie’s bag and they both walk into the sitting room. Sadie sits down on the couch slowly. Hayden, on the other hand, drops the bag on the table. He hops out of the sitting room. While Hayden is

When he gets to the door, he knocks on the door gently. A few minutes later, the door went open. It was Petra that opened the door. She greets Dr. Ryan gently, but with the way Dr. Ryan answers her, she knows everything is not well with Dr. Ryan. Besides, he looks a bit stressed. Petra allows Dr. Ryan to sit down on the couch before she leaves the sitting room. She returns to the sitting room, clutching a tray with both her hands. This tray contains three peeled oranges and a sharp-edged knife. She drops the tray on the table and says, “Ryan, would you mind some oranges?” “Yes. I am okay,” Dr. Ryan said gently. Petra picks up one of the oranges. She uses the knife to divide it into two equal halves. She drops the knife on the tray and moves closer to Dr

Petra gives Dr. Ryan his own food. Dr. Ryan thanked her and picked up a spoon from the table. He uses a white handkerchief to clean the spoon and dips it inside the food. The breakfast is a meal of fried rice, fried plantains and chicken. Petra serves her own food too. At the end, there are a few leftovers left. She prays by heart. She dips a spoon inside the food and carries a spoonful of food. She is still chewing the food when she hears Dr. Ryan’s voice. “This food tastes so nice,” Dr. Ryan said. “Thank you very much…,” Petra said. In no time, Dr. Ryan carried six spoonfuls of fried rice. Notwithstanding, there is still a heap of rice right in front of him. He really enjoys the food. Petra enjoys the food too. She keeps quiet and eats her food silently. Petra ensures she eats h

At least, it’s not your husband that died,” Silas said. “God forbid. My husband will not die.” “Do you actually love me this much?” “Of course, I do. Don’t worry, you will live to declare the work of God in the land of the living.” “Amen. I will be heading to the bedroom now.” “To do what?” “Maybe to finish the book that I am reading.” “It’s alright.” “Or will you follow me to the bedroom?” “No. Just go. I will stay here and do one or two things.” “That’s alright. See you very soon.” Silas stands up from the couch. He kisses Rachael on the lips before he leaves the sitting room. As soon as Silas is out of sight, Rachael turns on the television before she walks back to her seat. She is clutching the remote while she sits on the couch. She directs the remote to the television and searches for th

This briefcase is black and it looks so neat. Liam drops the briefcase on the table. He clutches a mug from the table. He had only taken two sips of the contents of the mug when Margaret rushed into the sitting room. She looks so beautiful in her brown attire. She puts on a pair of brown shoes to compliment the gown. Margaret interrupts Liam. “I never put the mug on your head. What if I had poisoned the tea?” “All I know is that you will never do such a thing,” Liam said, giving a smile. Margaret ignores Liam. All her attention was fixed on the mug. She collects the mug from Liam softly and hurriedly empties its contents. Margaret dropped the mug on the table. She is discussing with Liam when Emilia and Owen walk into the sitting room. They are both dressed in blue Polo shirts. These shirts are the same

Margaret kept quiet for a few seconds. She must be thinking about what to say next because of the way she hovers her eyelashes. “I think I remember. You are actually correct. A snail has a pair of tentacles,” Margaret finally said. “Yeah,” Liam said confidently. “I will ask the question from my teacher when we resume school,” Owen said. “That’s my boy. Margaret, have you given them the present?...” “Yes. I love everything you got for me. I am grateful, dad. I now have a new pair of sandals for school,” Owen said happily. “I now have a new school bag too. Thank you, dad!” Emilia yelled. “You are welcome. You should go to your rooms now. Your mum and I want to discuss something.” As soon as the juveniles leave the sitting room, Margaret and Liam start their conversation. Their v
