VICTORY AT LAST EPISODE 1

"do you really miss me? "
" who miss you? Tabi am just teasing you "
" it's a lie. I know you miss me. Come here Zainab "
" no. I am not coming "
Kingsley then forcefully dragged her to him. He quickly turned her around and held her hands in a back-handcuff style.
" you miss me or not? "
" I don't miss you "
" wow really? " Kingsley tightened her hands. He knew she would give in eventually.
" you miss me or not? "
" I doooonntt. Awwww Kingsley.. "
" you miss me or not. "
" I miss yyooouuuu " Kingsley then released her hands when he noticed she was in pain.
" seriously, I don't know when you are going to stop your rough play " Zainab hissed and turned her back to him
" am sorry. Did I hurt you? " Kingsley replied, feigning being remorseful and made to touch her.
" leave me alone jor. " Zainab was a little bit angry but she truly yearned for his magical touch. Her heart surely beats for him.
" hey! Kingsley catch this " Michael threw a bottle of Fanta to him.
" you for buy small one na" Kingsley said, oblivious of what was on his left hand
"actually, it's not for you. It's for our wife " Michael giggled and pointed to Zainab
" Thank you my good and less Troublesome inlaw " zainab said and both guys looked at each other in surprise before laughing out loud. Michael then sat in between them.
" why coke? Why not 7up?" Kingsley complained again.
" there wasn't any 7up left so I decided to buy coke. It's not your taste right? "
" Yeah. Sprite would have been a better substitute "
" sorry. I didn't really know "
" Hey guys! " they looked to their right and saw Sandra coming towards them.
" Oh shit! This girl must surely be a witch " Michael said annoyingly
" honestly am suspicious of her. Why must she show up whenever we are with goodies? " Kingsley asked no one in particular. The guys knew it was too late for them to hide the things from her as she had seen them already. They have no option than to play into her hands.
" how are you guys doing? Anyway I didn't come to eat your food because I can notice the angry looks on your faces. " she said cooly. She had earlier studied the situation.
" Oh oh. So why are you here? Meanwhile, we aren't angry because you came " Kingsley lied though he was happy with the fact that his food was 'safe'
" well, I will take that with a pinch of salt. Hi Zainab! " she waved and smiled faintly to her.
" hi Sandra " she replied her
" Mrs Clara actually sent to you. She came to our class some minutes ago but didn't see you. So she said you should come to her office immediately "
" Mrs Clara? " Kingsley asked, though a little bit surprised
" yes. Any problem with that? "
Coincidentally both girls searched his eyes like they were looking for an answer
" no. Thank you. I will see her in few minutes' time. " Kingsley smiled when he noticed all eyes were on him.

" darling!? "
" yes. Sweetheart "
" what do you plan to do on the matter? "
" which matter sweetheart? "
" Kingsley matter. You know you have told Michael to invite him here tomorrow... "
" well, that shouldn't be a problem. I know what to do. Can you please put your mind at rest ? "
" hmmmmmm. Don't think am troubling you. I just want the best for my son. He's nearing the end of his adolescent stage and now is the time to make the right decisions so as to prepare him adequately for what awaits him. "
" see, I clearly understand you. But be rest assured i have everything under control. After all, it's our responsibility to look after him " he said weakly
" hmm. You are right but I don't want to be too emotional. Bad association corrupts good manners. That's what am passing across. " Michael mom hesitated for a while when she didn't get a reply.
" darling! " she called out
" darling?! "
She reached for him and then noticed he was fast asleep

Richard opened his eyes weakly. The images he saw were blurred. He then tried to open it more clearly and there he saw a ceiling fan, exhibiting circular motion.
Soon he realized there was an oxygen mask on his face and it became down on him that he was in the hospital. He couldn't remember how it happened as his brain was perhaps still in its sleeping mode.
Unnecessarily, his eyes found an image of a girl resting on a chair beside him. He closed his eyes briefly and then opened it again. Magically, he knew the girl was his sister.
"Mercy! " he called out but she didn't hear him as the oxygen mask had drowned the loudness of the sound...........
