Episode 18
pack your things and leave my house, my dad thundered. I cannot sit back and watch you destroy my home; just leave
i left to pack my things. I finished and headed out of the house. My stepmum has actually fulfilled her purpose abi. I thought.
I got to the junction there and dailled a friends number.
Hello doris, this is nora
babe, wats up, hw far naw. Doris said on the phone
me: babe, the is fire on the mountain o
doris: what is it
me: my dad threw me out of the house and i dont have any where to stay, as i am talking to you now. I am in the middle of the road, almost stranded
doris: my God, you know what come to my house quickly. I will be waiting for you
me: wow, thaks alot, i will be on my way
i left straight to doris house, doris was a friend i met during the time i wrote putme, so we became friends from there, we applied for the same course, although she got hers, but i didnt. And now she lives close to the school but offcampus.
Knock knoc, who's in? I waited for response
just then doris opened the door.
Babe how far, she asked
fine o, i replied her. She helped me in carrying my things inside her selfcontained apartment. Offcourse her parents were well to do
doris: so your parents could go as far as this, to the extent of throwing you out
me: hmm my sister, seriously i saw this coming, i dont think i can still call them my parents.
Doris: you know nora, i actually think your father is under a spell, if not who throws his one and only child out of the house for no reason. He will actually live to regret this
me: no doubt about what you just said. My dad behaves like a woman wrapper. He acts like they are remote controlling him.
Doris: dont worry dear, you can stay with me here. I live alone and you know that. All you have to do is to look for something doing, reregister for your jamb exams and i am sure you will get your admission this time around, i can help you with the school fees through my parents.
I was astonished, aback, suprised, shocked.....name it. I tried talking but i couldnt find any words to say. How could this girl be this good to me, i just met an angel in human form, when i thought there was little or no hope for me, she just brought back my hope to life. I didnt know when tears began to drop from my chick. Thannk you so credibly much i muttered
doris just nodded her head and hugged me.
