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.

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.

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.

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

Margaret was the first to see him. Liam, on the other hand, is engrossed in watching the television. His gaze is fixed on the television screen so that he doesn’t even notice anyone who enters inside the sitting room. “Your friend is here,” Margaret said, hitting Liam on the lap. Liam looks in the direction of the door and sees his friend. The tall man cannot hold it. He began to laugh. Margaret and Liam join him in the laughter too. “Do have your seat, Dr. Kennedy,” Margaret said. She is still laughing. Dr. Kennedy stops laughing. He sits down on an empty couch and says, “Thank you. Good evening, friends.” “Good everyone, runaway friend,” Liam said. “I won’t take that from you.” “Don’t mind him, Dr. Kennedy. He is so garrulous. He should at least welcome you back home before calling you
