Arriving at his house I sat in the wide sitting room with different art frame hanged on the wall. I wondered if he could be the only one living in this big house.
“Have a drink”. He said placing a Red label at my front.
“Thank you”. I said smiling.
I drank out of the wine looking everywhere.
“you’re welcome to my house”. He said.
“you mean you live here alone, like all alone!”. I asked surprisingly.
“yes I do. Although it as not been easy all alone.
“How about your family?”.
“They are not in Nigeria, I just don’t fancy being over there with them. I love my country and most especially my privacy. I love my private life, doing things to your own satisfaction without anyone query you and all that.” He said sitting down as I look down to his legs.
“that’s good. But I thought maybe you were lik….e you ……Kno…w…..”
He looked at me as I stuttered and laughed.
“oh! Chioma, you’re funny, I know what you intend to ask. Well, I only had a backache then in which I couldn’t Walk. I made use of the wheelchair then just to wheel around the hospital for some time. I actually didn’t make use of it for long.
“Ohh…. no problem, now I know why because, I was surprised you know.’ I said laughing as I suddenly felt a sharp pain beneath my abdomen.
I have been having this pain for some months now to the extent my grandma had complained severally that I should go for test. I don’t think it’s something necessary since it only comes and go.
“Are you okay?”. He asked.
“Where’s your restroom please?’. I asked as he lead me over there.
I closed the door as I held unto my throat vomiting severally. I do not want to imagine what is actually coming through my head right now because this symptoms is becoming too much. I don’t think it would be, because is over two months I left Aunty Susan house so it can’t be possible and is not like my stomach are getting bigger. And moreover he didn’t released inside me so, I shouldn’t worry about it. I washed my face and looked at myself in the mirror as I look so pale but my pretty face is still intact. I laughed at myself patting my cheeks repeatedly and then went out to meet Fred.
“Are you okay?. He asked looking at me as I sit back.
I answered him that I’m fine that it might be because of the drink he gave me because I haven’t drink such before. He laughed and told me not to worry that from now henceforth I will be use to it.
“What do you mean by that?”. I asked smiling.
He stood up from where he’s And sat close to me holding my hands.
“I have never seen a lady like you so pretty in my entire life, like your beauty really caught my attention and ehm’ I don’t know how to say this……'”
He looked away shyly as I laughed glooming all over knowing vividly on what he’s about to say.
“come on Fred, say it. What is it?’.
” I think I have found my missing ribs (he smiled) can we date? like having a serious relationship?”. He asked looking at me for an answer.
I looked away smiling and removed my hands from him.
“you know this is my first time of coming here and you can’t expect me to just say yes, just like that.” I said.
“But why? at least you letting me bring you over to my house as signify your trust and love to me”. He said while on his knees with his two hands together begging me.
I know deep down in my heart that I really wish for this type of love and most especially with someone that could be this rich and voluntary begging for loving me.
“you know what, let me think about it. I will definitely answer you tomorrow. I don’t just want to accept like that just because you asked right now”. I said to him as he shrunk his shoulder telling he is pleased with it that anything I said is acceptable by him.
He asked if he can show me round his house as I stood up and followed him. infact the house is so beautiful but what baffles me most is how he showed me almost everywhere in the building and left out one room saying it’s no entering room that it’s only for his father that he has never for once entered there also.
“But, why would your father not tell you what the room is all about? at least for you to know what it entails.” I asked.
“I have asked him severally, but you know he’s my father and I can’t question him more than that. Anyways forget about it, since it’s not something relevant for me to know so just let it slide. ” He said as I looked on following him.
We entered his kitchen as he requested if I can help him out in cooking. I accepted to do so as I looked around the kitchen and went to the store where food are stock up.
“Chai!! chineke mehhhh see food ooo
I took out a tube of yam to peel and picked like 5 eggs to fry while I started the procedure excitedly thanking my creator.
Before I left his house we joked, played and even romance even though I know it’s not supposed to. I really wished I could stay longer but my grandma calling makes me leave early.
“I will call you at tomorrow”. He said while driving me to the road side.
“I will call you tonight then”. I said laughing as he said I shouldn’t call at night because he’s always busy at night mostly and he might not have time to really have time to speak with me.
“Well, no problem.” I said getting down from the car and waved him good bye.

Hospital πͺ
I sat beside my grandma as she has already packed her bags as we await the arrival of the nurse who told us to wait that she needs to give us a medication list to buy. My grandma noticed my happiness ever since I came back and have been asking me what is happening in which I didn’t want to share with her.
“Here’s your receipt and the list sister Chioma, make sure you get it for mama immediately you leave this place ooo
“Of course, I will. ” I collected it from her going through it.
We headed home that evening as I prepared dinner for my grandma and told her I will be back that I should go and get the drugs. I noticed the sudden dizziness and every minute tiredness one I do too much work. I became thirsty for ice drinks every minute as I entered the pharmacy and order for Pepsi after giving them the list of drugs.
“Aunty, infact you really need it because I have been watching how tired you are. e no easy na mama ibeji “. One of the attendant said as I looked around me to be sure I’m not the one she’s referring to.
I looked at her smiling face as she concentrated on what she’s doing.
“is this girl okay at all? who is she calling mummy twins. I know people say this most times to a pregnant woman as a joke.
I looked at my stomach and others around me and noticed a a pregnant woman standing at the edge side holding onto the barricade at her front.
“Definitely, I’m not the one she’s referring to”. I said while I was called to take my drugs.
TBC.
