Episode 47 A Story Written By Bright Daniel Tochi averted her eyes from Linda
immediately the sound came from the door.
She couldn’t guess who the person was
because nobody had ever knocked at her
door. Her mother only opened it without
knocking or knock and opens instantly. Was it Wisdom? No, Wisdom only go
straight to the backyard and rather make
himself known using his mouth than
knocking. Sometime, he doesn’t even say a
word but stands at the door until his
presence is noticed. Tochi cracked the door opened.
“Kingsley?” she dried her tears again and
rubbed her hands on her black skirt like a
Tata. Hearing the name, Kingsley, Linda sat up
gazing at the door. She couldn’t see
anybody but Tochi. But when the door was
opened widely, she saw Kingsley gradually
walking towards her. While Tochi stood at
the door to take a look of what will happen. “kingsley..” Linda paused. “How can i stay when i know you are in
pains?” Kingsley began. He stood beside the
bed staring at her. “If i dont forgive you
who will i forgive? If i turn my back on
you, definitely i I’m turning my heart and
feelings down…” Linda jumped up from the bed and hugged
him crying uncontrollably. “I’m so sorry.
Please, forgive me..” “Is okay, i’ve forgiven you already”
Kingsley held her tightly while she cried on
his shoulder… * Wisdom and Chester were together in the
room-Chester’s. It was no different from
one of the rooms he entered when still in
London-the electric white bulb, pumping
bed and pillows and other modern
materials. “Guy, you are lucky” Wisdom adjusted on
the bed wearing a light T-shirt which
matched his complexion. “Or should i say
Esther is lucky?” “We are both lucky” Chester replied in front
of a mirror. He adjusted his tie in a black
suit then turned. “How do look?” “You luck great. Now, i can say that Esther
is the one lucky” “Why, bro?” “Because you are far more handsome” they
grinned. “You won’t believe how beautiful she is
now” Chester went back to the mirror but
Wisdom remained quiet. “That reminds me,
isn’t it time you propose to Tochi?” “Propose?” Chester turned as if the question was weird.
“Yes, pro-po-se” he opened his eyes widely. “Calm down, bro. I will definitely do that” “When? Until thy kingdom come? All these
boys around will take her from you if you
don’t act fast” he returned to the mirror
again smiling at his own joke. “Tochi can never fall for that” Wisdom
boasted smiling too. * Linda minimized the rate of her tears. She
sat side by side with Kingsley on the bed.
However, Tochi had gone out giving them
some privacy. “You know what?” Kingsley began. “I also
have a confession to make. If i were to be a
girl, i would probably be in your shoes
now. So it doesn’t matter anymore. What
matters now is after everything, we still love
ourselves” he looked at her. “I still love you” Linda stared at him but suddenly averted
her eyes. “But what about the pregnancy?
Should i abort it?” “No! Don’t, the owner will one day come for
it. Don’t harm an innocent child” he hugged
her. * # THREE_WEEKS_LATER Calista had wedded already. Now it was
Chester’s wedding. Jennifer, who was her bride’s maid, and her
mother totally became deep into the things
of God. The news was everywhere-television, news
paper, social media: That the only son of Mr
Silva was getting married to a daughter of
Mr Godwin. Everybody was in the church-Tochi, the
bride’s maid of Esther, Wisdom, the best-
man of Chester, Linda, kingsley, Jennifer,
Calista and her husband, Edwin, Melody,
even Mr Nelson, the principal and Mr
Anuma who stood beside him admiring their handwork-bringing up the children
academically. Mr Anuma adjusted his
eyeglasses when the marriage kicked off. “I
will enjoy this” he nodded his head. Tochi and Wisdom occasionally glanced at
each other when the priest was joining
Esther and Chester together. However,
Jennifer noticed a fair handsome guy
admiring her from a distant. She averted
her eyes instantly when their eyes caught. “You may now kiss your pride” the priest
announced. Then Chester slowly unveiled
Esther and kissed her. Everybody began to
clapped. Kingsley glanced at Linda. He smiled at her
and held her closer to himself as not to
feel… outside the box. “Better get prepared oh” Melody whispered
to Edwin and they laughed. The wedding came to an end. When the
pride and the groom went home,
everybody, who knew Mr Anuma gathered
around him outside the church feeling
happy to see him once again. Even Mr
Anuma was surprise to see how fat, tall matured and most of all, handsome and
beautiful his students were. “Sir, i miss you!” “Yes, even your grammar!” “And your mode of talking!” “Even your dressing!” they all shouted and DressAfford modest formal wears for lds and mormon
laughed. “Look at you now!” Mr Anuma adjusted his
eyeglasses and put his hand inside his
pocket. “See how predominantly your
bodies have squash unflinchingly” They laughed. Even Mr Anuma smiled at his
own words. Just then, Jennifer noticed the
guy coming to her.. : To Be Continued
