DEBORAH*

oga buy this one o, this unripe plantain sweet pass the ripe one’ Deborah screamed as she ran after the moving car, the man ignored her and she retreated back to the camp of hawkers near the Abak rd. traffic light.

She sighed, today had been the worst day since she started hawking, life hadn’t been very easy since their father had abandoned them for his new wife in the village.

Deborah – Episode One

He had wanted an heir, a male child who would carry forward his name, her mother had only given birth to her and Enobong, her only sister.

She was then diagnosed with an infection causing her womb to be removed through surgery.

Her father could not bear the thought of being married to a ‘barren’ woman as he called her and with the help of his family he got married to another and abandoned them in Uyo.

‘wetin dey ur mind’? Sara the garden egg Hawker asked, she was her best friend around here, others did not flow well with her while the other young girls envied her because she was extremely beautiful and had lots of customers.

‘nothing, just that today has been a very bad day, and my sister needs money to register for her upcoming NECO examination’, ‘so na why u dey worry like this?

U no get work, instead of to worry, u no pray make dis God send us customer’, Debora simply sighed and continued swimming in her thoughts.

She often wondered when her life as a hawker would come to an end, she was not getting younger, but she had to do this to increase the income for feeding.

She prayed desperately in her heart for a favour from God, she needed to breathe, to sleep without waking up early to run to the market to but ingredients for her mother to prepare moi-moi for the student cafeteria in the University of Uyo.

Deborah – Episode One

That business had helped them a lot, her mother had rented a little shade in the student market and they usually patronised her, her mother was a hardworking woman, she kept telling her children that one day, anyhow, they will one day study at the University of Uyo.

Deborah smiled and wished that day could come quickly, she had finished her secondary education

for three years now but due to the obvious conditions she couldn’t go further but she believed

Strongly that her dreams would not die, she remembered how she sneaked into lecture halls to have a feel of what it felt like to be a student, but the students always knew her as the Hawker and looked down on her shabby dresses that’s why she stopped attending the lectures.

What made her quite known was her beauty, many times she had heard the students especially females whisper ‘ she is too fine to be a hawker, God forbid’, yes she was too beautiful, but how could one change their parentage? many boys on campus had approached her but she turned them down because she didn’t believe in premarital relations, and her mother had raised them with a firm her.

‘be proud, hold your head high even as a poor girl’ she remembered her mother instructing them, one of such male student advances had gone sour that was how she met Captain her best friend on Campus, she had served a group of rough looking boys and one made advances towards her, when she declined he broke the glass plate and began ranting.

‘who you be sef, na only u dey dis skul, see dis dirty ass girl o’, and he started making calculated efforts at her, before he could lay his hands, a bottle smashed his head and he fell down bleeding, by now the attention of the Security was drawn to the scene.

Deborah – Episode One

‘what have you done to him?’ she had cried to her savior, ‘Girl you should thank me, this guy is a troublesome dude and he is known around here, so basically I saved you’, she sighed ‘thank you’, when the security arrived and recognized the person who was being hit, they hissed and turned back.

‘if I ever see you here again, I will break your head into tiny bits and send them to the Lord’ her saviour said pushing the guy outside roughly, he wiped his hands and returned, ‘ my name is Felix Eggon, am known as captain though’.

‘Deborah’ she replied hesitatingly, he smiled ‘ don’t you have a nick’? ‘ like Debbie, Debo baby or Yellow sisi’ he teased, this made her laugh, she shook her head, he was silent for a while and suddenly lifted his face ‘sweet chocolate’, ‘what’s that’

She asked, he simply replied, ‘nickname’, and that’s what everybody even her own mother came to call her.

‘pick me at the airport, we are almost on the ground baby, luv ya baby’ she said sweetly, Morgana Esio, was the luckiest woman in the state, at least that is what she thought, she was an accomplished legal practitioner cum fashion designer, the only daughter of Chief Charles Esio Peters, coming from a high-class family she had met the most wanted bachelor in the state.

Aniebiet Briggas, an engineer by profession, the manager of three branches of Briggas Construction Companies in Africa popularly known as BCC.

Aniebiet was all a woman could dream of, all her desire, he was not just physically appealing but he was very rich and hardworking, and that was exactly the kind of man she needed to maintain her high-born status.

Deborah – Episode One

She had dated him for about four years now and her love for him grew stronger by the day, but it bothered her, as they landed on the ground, she wondered if he felt the same way, its not as if he didn’t care, but she knew for a fact that she was his most long-standing girlfriend.

Aniebiet had dated strings of women dumping each when he was tired, this made her have more hope, maybe he loved her that’s why he held onto her for so long, and because she loved him she had overlooked his flirtatious behaviour.

She walked briskly from the plane and walked towards the waiting area when she spotted her worst enemy, Inemesit, her one-time best friend who had an affair with Aniebiet, ‘ who am I seeing here?’ she sneered.

Morgana ignored her and moved on, ‘seriously, you are getting too old for this, why do you act like you’re better than me, remember you also cheated on him with my boyfriend, so revenge is beautiful’ she stopped and walked towards her.

‘I slept with your boyfriend? But you told me you didn’t love him, and you knew very well what Aniebiet meant to me and you stabbed me, back off,’ Inemesit did not flinch, she simply stared back at her, ‘ what do you want from me’?

Morgana asked, ‘ I need your help, there is a big fashion show am organizing and you have the props I just may use’, Morgana was about to say no, but this girl needed to be taught a lesson, and she would do her dirty, she smiled and walked off ‘ Okay, meet me at the Drokie’s, we will discuss there’.

She spotted Aniebiet’s car and increased her footsteps, he came out and hugged her, ‘welcome darling, how was your trip’? she hugged him and whispered ‘ am tired’, after packing her luggage, he pecked her forehead, she smiled and they drove off.

‘how was your day, did you make any sales’? her mother asked hopefully, she shook her head, time was running out and her sister needed this money badly, ‘is that why you are looking so discouraged’?, her mother smiled ‘sweet choco, if I cried everytime life hit me hard do you think I would have been alive today, just imagine how I survived after your father had left us?” Deborah sighed, what her mother had said was true, she believed more than ever that help would soon come her way. Deborah – Episode Two ‘mama where is Eno’?, her sister was the black sheep, always up to something mischievous, because of her recklessness, she had carried along some criminals at a night club she frequented. That was what brought them to this level of desperation, they had to pay a huge amount of cash to bail her from the Police station. Sometimes she felt like giving up on her sister, Eno wasn’t considerate at all, she loved to mix with rich kids in the neighbourhood. One of the reasons she had refused attending a public school was that she wanted the life of the rich and famous. Sadly, she was getting it but at a very high price. They had nicknamed her sister ‘ ewa ’, she was compared to a female dog whose urges were insatiable, Eno had made it her duty to sleep with any rich kid in the neighborhood just to get some cash from him and to belong, this usually made their mother very sad. ‘I don’t know where that girl has gone too, just change your clothes eat something and get some sleep, I don’t know how much longer we will cope with her behavior’. said her mom Just as they finished speaking, Eno stormed into their little room angrily, “whose behavior? So now both of you gossip about me even you Mama’?” Deborah was stunned, this was the girl she had collected her own share of the esusu to bail out of cell and here she was insulting not just her but their mother, ‘ are you crazy?’ Deborah asked, with this question she received a slap that sent her reaching for her balance, ‘ask me again, you bloody pretender, you always act like you are better than I am, are you a virgin? Ehn!’. Deborah lay on the floor for sometime not understanding what had hit her. She felt her mother’s hands, gently comforting her and to Eno she had so much to say but chose to keep silent, ‘ so Mama both of you cannot talk again’?, ‘ I will be back tomorrow for the money for my examination fees, make sure it’s ready’ said Eno as she packed a few clothes and left the room. ‘ mama, I will not hawk to pay that girl’s fees, mama I have my own life to live, I need to start something for myself instead of working for an ungrateful bastard’, muttered Deborah. her mother cautioned her, ‘don’t call her that, no matter what she is still your sister, your flesh and blood. However I support your decision since Enobong has the guts to insult me and hit you, I believe she should have the guts to raise her own fees. Please get up and eat something. I prepared yam and nton sauce, you will enjoy it’. The woman stared at her daughter happily….how could one be this lucky to have such a child? She silently prayed her secret remained safe. you are reading Deborah – Episode Two Aniebiet had dropped Morganna at her house, he explained why he couldn’t take her to his home. She understood him and kissed him goodbye wearing a frown, she had returned to this house with foolish workers. She hated each and everyone of them, they were so lowly and poor, she hated such people they practically irritated her hence she had no patience with them. Immediately, the two maids and the cook ran out to help with her luggage but she shouted them back, ‘ don’t you have manners?, I never asked for your help, you think I would allow your dirty and smelly hands on my bags, gosh you all reek’ she said and spurned off. This left the servants feeling very sad, they wondered why Morgana was so mean to them, when her late mother had been so nice, they shook their heads and left, afterall people were different. Deborah – Episode Two Morganna Esio, was an accomplished legal practitioner and a paragon of beauty, she was well sought after in their highclass circle, many wealthy and connected men had approached her but she declined because she was in a relationship with Aniebiet Briggas. it wasn’t just the fact that she was from a high class background but she was extremely beautiful. She was 5ft plus, light skinned, straight legs any woman could die to have, a perfect bust size, medium sized hips, but it was her face that was her crown. Her straight nose stood proudly on her smooth skin, her almond eyes had a shade of green in them which was very natural, her lips were soft and full but brown, and it made her more attractive. She knew she was hot and knew what she deserved. This made her deal with only people in her circles, they understood her better and shared similar passions than ordinary people. Many times though, she wondered if she was making a mistake, she had dated this same man for four years and not for once had he ever spoken of marriage. This bothered her because she couldn’t imagine herself being married to someone else. She was deeply in love with Aniebiet and wondered what she would do if he left her as he had done countless women before her. She climbed the stairs leading to her room, ‘home sweet home’ she mused and fell into her bed, she suddenly remembered her upcoming appointment with Inemesit scheduled for the next day, she smiled mischievously; She planned to teach that young lady a lesson. in the midst of her musing, She felt her phone ring, it was her father who informed her he was out on a business trip. She sighed, she had the house all to herself, she had to invite Aniebiet to the house again. Deborah – Episode Two As Aniebiet drove back he smiled to himself, he had missed her, his Morganna, he liked her enough to marry her especially as his mother wouldn’t let him rest over her. Mrs Ekanem Briggas could make one’s life miserable, she had taken a liking towards Morganna from the first day he introduced them. Surprisingly both women had very similar character, in one of the occasions his mother had made a deliberate remark ‘you are the model daughter-in-law any woman can dream of’, she was actually saying this to give Ani, as she fondly, called him a hint. She loved Morganna, as she was from a highclass family just like them, very fashion conscious and classy, educated and beautiful and her manners were refined. Aniebiet wondered why his mother was rushing him, he had his plans, he wanted to make more money before settling down so he could have ample time for his family, but his mother kept reminding him of the fact that Morganna was having suitors daily. Well he was going to marry her, after his string of girlfriends he had finally found someone he liked. Aniebiet was heading to the family house, not his own personal apartment which was currently under construction. He missed his sisters, Clarabelle and Seline who had just returned from their holidays to Paris, it was going to be a full house. Just as he turned off the car, he spotted his very naughty cousin, Andy, he grinned from ear to ear as Andy walked towards the car, mehn! This was going to be a full house. Just then he received a text message from the jewelry store where he had ordered for a ring made out of blue diamonds, it was ready and he was gonna do the gentleman deed. ‘guy howfa’? Andy poked his tommy, ‘see as you big o,u dey chop money’ he continued assessing his cousin ‘Andy, my man, longtime, how Lagos dey,you jus forget me your brother for here’, Andy hugged him, it was good to get back together again, he missed this naughty cousin of his, Andy and him were bestfriends, they told each other everything, sometimes shared each other’s girlfriends or rather stole each other’s girlfriend. However, all that stopped when Ani started dating Morganna, she was not to be toyed with and Andy had noted that. They left the car and walked in through the garden to the house. Just as they walked in, they spotted his mother and sisters filing their nails by the swimming pool, ‘look who we have here’ screamed his sister Seline forgetting that just before she traveled, they had quarrelled over an issue caused by her her domineering attitude, ‘ Miss you love’ whispered Ani as he hugged Clarabella, pretending to ignore Seline, ‘ my dear son is back to momma’, exclaimed his mother as she pulled him for a hug. ‘ Ani don’t tell me you’re actually snubbing me o’ Seline frowned. He just smiled and hugged her. He missed his family, everyone but his dad was here. …… To be continued.

Deborah woke up much earlier than usually would; she was more determined than ever to make it, after helping her mother prepare the moi-moi, she stacked her plantains neatly in a tray and hurried out so she could get customers. She stopped by Udi Street, to take breakfast, she was very hungry that morning, most times she hawked on an empty belly, so she could save more money; constant starvation had made her very slim. Today however, she stopped by the mai sha , and ordered for tea, akara and bread. Deborah – Episode Three As she ate, a flock of ash pigeons suddenly flew towards her, startling her and making her to almost run. The Mai sha had to calm her down, telling her in poor pidgin that it was a sign of good luck for pigeons to fly near a person. She gulped her tea hungrily and asked ‘ Mallam are you sure’?, ‘ gaskia wallahi , it is real, for my place for Kebbi, e dey give good luck’, she smiled and paid him and took off and prayed for that luck to manifest and went quickly to the hawkers camp. A place by the road where they usually assembled to wait for customers. At the camp, she noticed her friend Sara was not yet there. This was quite unusual as Sara would always be there just before she came. As she waited, she became apprehensive and wondered what had gone wrong. As the morning sun was becoming more visible she became even more worried especially as she had no phone to make a call. She couldn’t talk to the other hawkers, they hated her for no reason. After she wacting patiently and her friend didn’t show up, she took giddy steps towards Papilo, the Popcorn hawker, he wasn’t friendly but neither was he harsh, ‘ good morning Papilo, abeg u don see Sara’?, he eyed he for a minute and shook his head, ‘ she no go come work today, she dey sick’ another hawker supplied, she went back to her stool and made plans to visit her later, when she was done for the day. As the Mai sha had said, she was truly lucky, she was able to sell all her chips, what excited her the most was a family of four children who bought 600 naira worth of plantain chips from her. The other hawkers had rallied around them advertising their goods but the family chose to buy from her. She folded her wrapper neatly and placed the tray in the leather bag and was about to leave for Sara’s when Mama Labito accused her. ‘yeye girl, so you feel say jazz na d only way wey u go use to steal our customers, I go show u pepper for this place’, Others joined calling her names, she cried and walked away silently and quickly as it was already dark. Her plan was to see Sara and return home; their bitterness couldn’t kill her joy, she had made some profit today, it would go away towards her secret savings for at least a diploma programme at the University. She was now more than confident that she would achieve her dreams. You are reading Deborah – Episode Three As she approached the route leading to Sara’s, she had a sense of evil and forbording. She shivered as she noticed that the street seemed unusually quiet, she became a bit frightened but walked on. Suddenly she felt a hand cover her mouth, she screamed but her screams were muffled by the hand. Next thing she knew was that she was she was being dragged into the bushes by the side of the road. Just as sudden as he had grabbed her, her captor released her. He rummaged through her body quickly as if searching for something, then he put his hands inside her brassiere, as she tried struggling, she felt a heavy object crash on her legs and she screamed. ‘Pontus, stop am, no be wetin we come for’, another voice spoke harshly from the darkness. It was dark so she couldn’t see, ‘wey ur money, give us money and u go live here free’ ‘oga abeg help me, I no get any money on me, please,’ The voice ignored her statement and asked the other person to search her bag, they quickly retrieved her little purse. They opened it and saw her money inside “I think say you talk say you no get money” said the voice. As she opened her mouth to plead, she felt a hard bang on her head, suddenly she saw a flash and then everything went soft as she felt herself falling to the ground. Deborah – Episode Three ‘that’s a good decision you have made Ani darling’ Mrs Briggas was pleased her son had finally made the right decision, Morganna Esio was soon going to be her daughter in-law … That was something to lighten up her mood after the dream she had, Ateri was there again, waving her goodbye. Ateri her savior, her long lost friend whom she couldn’t reconcile with …but she was gone now….gone with the wind and she would never return. ‘bro, don’t mind mom, take things slow, get to know her better, ain’t no turning back in African marriages’ Clarabella advised, Selene glared at her disapprovingly, she liked Morganna and couldn’t wait for her brother to be married to her, ‘why don’t you mind your own business’, Serene flared, Clara hissed and left the dining table, this made Aniebiet to chuckle ‘you girls are so dramatic, I am the one getting married here remember’?, he stared at his mother who looked quite confused, ‘ where is Andy?, he didn’t show up for breakfast’, Aniebiet smiled, he knew his cousin was banging a particular maid and didn’t need another breakfast, ‘ mum he will just be fine’ ‘so can I start the planning for the engagement party’?, said his mum He knew that even if he had said he didn’t want an engagement party a thousand times, his mom wouldn’t listen, so he simply nodded and ran off to take a shower, today was gonna be such a busy day for him. He passed Andy’s room and shook his head, his cousin hadn’t repented. He remembered his days of banging all these maids, now he was grown and more responsible and was about to take up even more responsible stuff, he quickly dialled Morganna’s number to check on her, ‘hello baby, how are you’?, she responded happily and he fixed a date with her so he cold propose. He was already feeling nervous, he was looking at a future with Morganna already and wondered what marriage wold be like. You are reading Deborah – Episode Three Morgana shook her had as she dropped the phone and a sip of her drink while seating at the restaurant bar. Morganna had arranged a meeting with the boyfriend of her one-time best friend, who had betrayed her by sleeping with Aniebiet. Inemesit had claimed to be her friend but was cheating on her behind her back with Ani. She had found this out from one of the house maids then who had seen them hang out in Ani’s room. It wasn’t once or twice but more than five times. She shook her head, she had confronted her friend who blatantly denied feigning innocence, well she had gotten evidence, she had forgotten her undies at Aniebiet’s place and it proved useful. She was going to pay back, after all those years she couldn’t even apologize for her wrongdoing, and now she was asking for her help, she would definitely help her with the fashion show but she was sure going down to hell. ‘I have waited for twenty minutes for you, please where is the stuff I asked you for’? the man presented the parcel and in exchange collected a signed cheque. ‘disappear’ was all Morganna said to him and he watched the beauty put on her shades as she walked away, he wondered if he was right by revenging his ex, Inemesit who had cheated on him severally with Aniebiet Briggas, the rich guy on campus then, he remembered how she started acting funny, calling him a lowlife who wasn’t worthy of her. In his agony, he had fallen for Morganna who had only used him as a pawn in her own game of revenge, she was paying her friend back in her own coin, apparently the coins weren’t enough. He took a deep breath and disappeared, he needed to leave town, what he had just given Morganna would ruin inemesit for a long time coming and she was the biggest fashion designer in the country, he had to run! … To be continued. you have been reading Deborah – Episode Three

Deborah came to herself woken up by sharp pains. She lay writhing in pain, her head ached, her whole body ached, she felt the sharpness of the guinea grass on her delicate skin, ‘where am I’ she wondered? She had no idea how long she had passed out. She managed opening her eyes to see that the night had gotten dark and only the voices of croaking toads and hisses of night animals could be heard. she shuddered at the thought of being bitten by a snake, but what could she do? She tried to move her feet but they felt numb, then she perceived the smell of fresh blood on her palms, it was night and she couldn’t see much, she also had a throbbing headache but the wetness of her hands made her realise she had bled profusely. Deborah – Episode Four She struggled to get up and began groping in the darkness of the night, she had to go back home, she had to find a way back to her mother. In the pitch darkness and also in her panic, she didn’t realise there was a gutter right in front of her. Suddenly she and she fell right into it and let off another loud scream. ‘God be with me’ she whispered, “help me” She wondered what had happened to her money and her goods bag, then the memories came back in pieces then in whole and she bit her lip in frustration, she had been robbed by some hoodlums, she recalled how one almost assaulted her, wiping a tear she thanked her stars the criminal hadn’t succeeded. While lying there and gathering strength she debated on what to do next. She didn’t have enough knowledge of the terrain to know if she wouldn’t fall into another pit or into the hands of other hoodlums. She finally realised that the best decision was to lay quiet and wait for the break of dawn. You are reading Deborah – Episode Four The night dragged in an annoying manner, it was as if it would never end. The crickets and frogs seemed louder that night than at any other time known to her. It was all so disconcerting. After a while, the tiredness and the pain started to get to her and she found herself drifting of to sleep. Suddenly from nowhere, she felt a hand on her shoulder followed by a light tap and the words ‘dakkada, eyo asiere’. Startled she opened her eyes but her gaze fell on no one. Deep fear gripped her and she quickly started to pray. From nowhere, some voices seemed to come from a distance away, getting louder as they got closer to her. She lay flat inside the muddy gutter, desperately trying to hide herself and be invisible. From afar, it seemed like a bright pattern of yellow lights, dancing and singing an eerie tune. As the voices got closer she realized they were people – religious worshippers in fact. Their looked frightening and she was sure they didn’t have any good agenda. ‘Lord send down your light’ she prayed, wondering how much longer she would have to wait for morning to come. She remembered her friend Sarah and prayed she got better. The religious worshippers approaching her stopped before a big akana tree, their candles illuminated the atmosphere and their singing dimming the sounds of the night, she peeped as much as she could from the gutter and saw a newborn being placed underneath the tree, then the leader, a heavily bearded man brought out a little dagger and cut the baby’s foreskin. She heard the shrill cry of the baby and it made her want to jump out of her skin. She held her eyes shut praying harder for dawn. She wondered why someone would want to circumcise a child at that time of the night. The night seemed to wear longer. She became very scared watching the people and laid down. After what looked like a long time, she heard the honking of trailer and felt relieved as it indicated that dawn was finally closing in. she wondered what the religious sect would do and raised herself up to see more. She saw no trace of human presence, only the soft glow of the candles that were scattered on the ground. Just then, the sun started it journey and spread her light on the clouds, giving them a beautiful indigo color. Deborah sighed in herself, “time to return home: Dawn had come” she said to herself. The events of the night would forever be etched in her memory. She said a silent prayer, got out of the gutter and walked as fast as her feeble legs could carry her. You are reading Deborah – Episode Four Morgarna threw the kettle shaped alarm to the other side of her room, she didn’t want to be disturbed, she was having a very nice dream. Finally, she had stood before the altar with Ani as they were taking their vows, she looked charming in her white gown and blue sapphire earrings to match and the man that stood before her was looking every inch of his beautiful body like a god, ‘you may kiss the bride’ the bald priest said as he pronounced them man and wife,he placed his seductive lips on hers and they got entangled with flames of passion, as she kissed on she felt something sharp on her chin, she blinked and woke up to find her little dog, Tarzan licking her face, she threw him down and picked up her phone. ’19 missed calls from Ani’ she exclaimed hoping nothing was wrong with her baby, he had never called her this early, something was up and she didn’t feel right, ‘ hello Ani goodmorning, is everything okay’? she breathed hopelessly, he simply chuckled at the other end of the phone ‘ calm down baby, am okay, lets meet at my house tonight for a date, and come with gifts; Seline and Clarabella are back’, she gave a triumphant ‘yay’ and blew him a kiss. She smiled and kissed his picture, staring at it, like it was her own holy grail, but he was of course. He was her beginning and her end, she couldn’t imagine loving any other man like Aniebiet Brigass, she knew deeply he was god’s gift to her and no woman could take that away Morgana quickly made her way to the gym in her home As it wasn’t far from her room. Working out always kept her in shape. one hour later, she was done. She got back to her room, took a shower and dressed quickly. She carefully selected the clothes she will wear for the dinner date, wondering the latest gossip Seline must have brought from overseas. She was suddenly excited, this dinner date promised to be much more exciting than any other. Deborah – Episode Four Deborah returned home around 4.a.m in the morning, feeling all weak and nauseous, surprisingly the compound was already bubbling with activity, then she remembered today was the big market day : Itam market was the largest in Uyo and many traders and hawkers like herself patronized goods from there as they came at a far cheaper price. Although she felt weak, she planned going to the market to get fresh plantain at a cheaper price, she had to work again to make up for the money that was stolen from her. ‘Mama Debo come oooo, Sweet Chocolate is back’ one of her neighbors screamed, the rest rushed to welcome her like she had gone on a journey, Her mother rushed out with tears in her eyes and broke down, ‘where have you been Sweet Chocolate? it is not in your habit to sleep out’ your mother was worried about you’ her landlord said kindly, they had kept a vigil in wait for her return asking her sister and other people in the area questions; it was unusual for Debora to stay out late, no, that would be her sister, the wild rose, but Deborah was a good girl in everyone’s eyes, she was a delicate rose. ‘ I was kidnapped’ was all she could muster. On hearing this, her mother stopped crying, then broke into a song of thanksgiving to God for this testimony, ‘ Utibeima..Jesus ama de mi, ami mmo yom akanam kwe….’, she sang wholeheartedly and the others joined her. …..end of Deborah – Episode Four.

episode 5 after narrating her tale carefully not leaving out details, the neighbors gathered and prayed for her. The landlord promised to give her some cash to make up for what was stolen from her, she was the heroine for the day. The neighbours were grateful she wasn’t harmed in any way, ‘ do not worry about your money, what is money compared to your virtue you would’ve lost, or your life’? one had advised her while others concurred, each dispersing to their normal routines with whispers of ‘Abasi Sosongo’. Deborah – Episode Five Back to their little room, Deborah knelt on the floor and thanked God once again for her miracle. As usual her sister, Eno was nowhere to be found. She hugged her mother again while the woman kept on sobbing and saying that if only their father hadn’t abandoned them, her children wouldn’t be exposed to the dangers that lurked around in the streets. ‘ you are bleeding’ her mother noticed, she quickly brought their old rechargeable lamp and examined Deborah closely, she breathed a sigh of relief ‘ it’s just a deep scratch thank God its not a crack in your head, mkpo ndok uke? With our current financial situation’, Deborah picked her little mirror and saw the scratch that ran from the side of her forehead to her left chin, she winced, it was gonna give her a temporary look. ‘ stand up and undress, let me boil some hot water for your bath and get some drugs to dress that wound from Mma Nurse, I will be back’ said her mum. Suddenly the door barged open causing Deborah to startle, her sister had come back home after her threats the other day, she stormed in and packed some clothes, Deborah was about to say something when their mother came in, watching her other daughter closely, she chose to face this one, ‘ come, my child, the water is ready’ and they both walked out , ‘ you two think am joking right’? Eno questioned rudely, her mother looked at her intently and spoke as calmly as possible, ‘ I sometimes don’t understand where I went wrong in bringing you up, you just barged in here, you saw your sister in this position and you couldn’t even acknowledge me with greetings, Eno you will have a child one day and God will surely reward you’. Knowing the situation would soon get out of hand and produce another episode of family feud, Deborah gently dragged her mother away ‘ Mama it’s okay, I have always told you to ignore Eno, it’s youthful exuberance, one day she will come to her senses’, the woman’s eyes shone in pride of her daughter, this girl gave her hope that her situations could actually change, the woman smiled ‘ I pray that day comes Sweet Choco’. Deborah – Episode Five ‘Yes, send in the money into my other account, when will the yellow gold arrive’? Ekanem Briggas paced around with the phone to her ear, she was already dressed, today was going to be a busy day for her, her son would be engaged to the most beautiful daughter in-law any woman could dream of having. Morganna Briggas, she mused, what a lovely combination, she liked the girl too much, she actually reminded her of her younger version, ambitious, smart and classy, that was all she needed for her only son. She checked her phone again, her husband had not been picking his calls, she wished he could be present for this big step but he had always put his needs ahead of his family’s. ‘come in’ she called in response to the knock on her door, she was quite sure it was her children she usuallly didn’t allow her servants the privilege of coming close to her inner chambers as she called it, she hated lowlifes, they deserved to be treated just that way, lowly. She had tried trainning her children to toe her line of thought on the assumption that it made them more respected and feared but she hadn’t totally succeeded; only Seline took after her. Sadly, Clarabella and Aniebiet took after her husband. Their father was a very soft hearted person, a character she saw as weakness opposed to her strong domineering and discriminatory attitude. Well it was too late to change them, she was just happy, Ani had agreed to marry Morganna, for once he hadn’t argued with her decision. ‘Mum good morning’ Ani greeted as he came into the room. She responded with a big smile; her baby was now a grown man and today he was going to be a bigger man. ‘Are you ready to leave’? she asked adjusting his badly placed tie. ‘ yes mother, I will be paying the jeweler a visit’, she frowned a bit, ‘ I thought you could’ve imported the ring, you know, from the Chris Rock Gold collections instead of these local Uyo jewellers’. Aniebiet shrugged and wondered when his mother would change, the woman loved luxury and class, but the Jeweller’s shop in Itam Street Uyo, wasn’t a local shop, ‘mum it’s called Blue mountains, it’s a new shop in town and has quite a few branches in the country with their head office at Dubai’, she looked at him suspiciously, knowing her son well, he could cook up stories just to confuse or please her, ‘ what’? he asked wondering why she looked at him that way, ‘nothing. Go on, tell Seline to invite our family friends, we have to make this big, we are the elite, always remember that’ she patted him on the back while he left smiling. His mother was funny, she believed so much in their wealth and how it had carved a niche for them in the high echelons of the society. She called him and his sisters ‘ blue blood’. He shook his head as he approached the dining, his philosophy was quite different from his mother’s, he believed everyone deserved to be treated equally regardless of their class and that was why his workers admired him, of all his siblings, the servants loved him best. you are reading Deborah – Episode Five ‘Can I come with you guys’? Clarabella asked her older cousin graciously, Andy rolled his eyes and tongues at her, ‘a big fat no girl’, He turned to Ani ‘man what’s up and why the funny face’, Just then Seline walked in to catch the trio as Ani was speaking ‘It’s mother and her rich versus poor story’, Seline glared at her brother wondering why he often disagreed with their mother when it came to that class issue ‘and what’s wrong with you hanging with people from your same class’? she grabbed the teapot helping herself, ‘everything is wrong’ Clarabella offered, she hated the way Seline and mother reasoned, Seline paused and gave her a warning look, like don’t test me , the girl ignored her and continued ‘see it this way, we don’t get to choose the family we’re born into, so if you’re privileged, I feel you should help others to make this world a happier place’, the table was quiet for a while, ‘Damn!’ Seline gasped as she spat out the French fries she had just eaten, ‘ what kind of salty meal is this’? she called to the maid nearby. The other three were perplexed, because the meal had tasted nothing but nice, the maid ran quickly into the dining, spotting her lover of the other night, Andy, she looked away shyly, Aniebiet smiled knowing well what had transpired between the two, but the resounding slap the poor girl received brought him to his feet, ‘what the hell is wrong with you’! he yelled angrily at his sister while dismissing the maid, Andy stood up and followed her, ‘ and what is that supposed to mean?’ she asked wondering what had come upon her brother, ‘ how dare you raise your voice at me, oh, because of a maid’, she made to leave but paused angrily, ‘you deserved it and more’ Clarabella added, she walked towards the girl to give her a dose of that resounding slap but she was too late, Ani blocked her causing her to land on the floor. ‘ I see, you two are against me, mum would hear about this’, Andy returned and took in what happened, ‘guys your sister really needs to chill, what’s with the attitude’, Clara nodded ‘ it’s too late for that, she ain’t never going to change’. ‘let’s get out of here’ Ani ordered, ‘ can I come’? Clarabella asked again politely, he smiled and winked at his lovely sister, ‘how much will you pay me’? as he held her hand and they left the dining room hurriedly, it was going to be a busy day.

episode 6 She gulped the steaming spicy pepper soup hungrily, ‘I really have to go Mummy, you know all the profit I made yesterday was taken by those criminals and I am to contribute five hundred naira into the Esusu committee in two days’ time’, her mother shook her head ‘but you really need to rest’, she smiled, ‘ mummy I can take care of myself, just go to school and sell your moi-moi, don’t worry about me, kukere everything would be fine’. ‘well if you say so’, her mother began as she packed her wares for another hectic day, ‘ make sure you come home early, please and by the way, your Friend, Sarah had come looking for you but left immediately after she learnt of your mysterious disappearance’. ‘when exactly did she come’? asked Deborah rolling her eyes to remember the exact time, the woman gave up and settled for a simple answer ‘ late in the night’, she walked closer and rubbed her daughter’s head ‘ take good care of yourself, I have to go now’. Deborah – Episode Six The traffic was as expected, the day, being a big market day, so many cars and tricycles were parked haphazardly by the roadside, ‘ it’s quite unfortunate that these Road Safety Officials do not carry out their duties when needed most, just look at this’ Ani complained as he struggled to move past the crowd. ‘take the other street then’ Andy offered pointing at a route nearby; ‘and where would I pack the car’?, knowing very well it wasn’t safe to park in such a crowded place anything could happen, he sighed, feeling frustrated, ‘ Bro you can park it a little in front, we would wait for you while you go get the ring’, Andy sneered at Clara ‘ smally who would stay in the car with you’? she rolled her eyes and tongued him, ‘ someone called Andy’. Luckily as they approached, a large vehicle was already moving creating ample space for them to park. ‘that was good luck, my day is gonna be just fine’ Ani exclaimed stepping down from the car, the market was still in sight but few steps behind. ‘ Okay guys, I would be back in a jiffy’, as he moved further, he knew something was off, knowing his sister very well, she hated waiting in the car or even going out, she was being too nice he turned back to find out her real plans. ‘Clara…’ he called, she stepped down looking confused, ‘okay spill it out, what do you want me to buy for you at the Jeweler’s?’ she fiddled with her hands before replying, ‘ common bro, why do you suspect my moves, I just felt like accompanying you’. Andy was the first to laugh, ‘Story! You better tell him what you want now and by the way Aniebiet you have to be fast, I have a date with that Uniuyo Chic I told you about’. Clara frowned, her cover was blown ‘ okay, but it may be quite expensive’, she had seen a beautiful emerald necklace placed on Advertisement, she really needed it, the prestigious Jewel shop was the talk of the town, and she liked being the first to sample any new trend. ‘What is it ‘? Her brother urged gently, ‘ uhmm, I want the Jasmine Emerald necklace, it’s worth about 3000 dollars’ she winced as she called the price, ‘ is that all’?, she nodded and he smiled and walked away. The girl was cunning, but he loved her so much, regrettably more than Seline, who was their opposite, they hardly ever got along, he shrugged, that was how life was. You were never given the chance to choose your relatives. Deborah – Episode Six Few minutes after Ani was out of sight, Andy inquired about his fiancée, he had only seen Morganna in pictures and she was something to behold but for some reason he felt she wasn’t right for his cousin; his opinions however, didn’t matter, Aniebiet had already made up his mind. ‘Tell me about Morganna’, Clarabella looked at him suspiciously, ‘ why? Do you want to snatch someone’s wife’? he pinched her round nose playfully, ‘ am thinking about that, maybe I could kidnap her so your big bro won’t get married’. She sneered, she didn’t feel comfortable around Morganna , she was too plastic for her own good, looking all perfect and in control, she knew deep down that her brother may regret his decision later; that wasn’t even his decision, it was their mother’s, Mrs Briggas was always wanting to be in control of everything, she wanted to make and take decision at all times and Morganna was her younger version that was why they flowed so well. ‘I don’t like her’ was all she said, Andy perked a brow, ‘really and why is that’? thanking his inner voice that someone shared his feelings, ‘I think she is hiding her true nature but Mum and Seline like her, Dad adores her but I know Aniebiet is making a big mistake’. Andy held her hands comforting her, he understood what it meant to watch someone you loved make a mistake, ‘I feel the same way too, although I haven’t met her in person, I have second thoughts about her, but if Aniebiet loves her, all we have to do is support him as family’. She nodded and took in all what her cousin had said, then it dawned on her, she had to take her stand, her Mother would never choose a husband for her. Deborah – Episode Six Deborah had finished her little shopping, she had purchased enough unripe plantain to last for a week and at very cheap prices. She checked her purse to see if her change remained, this market was filled with pick pockets, being sure nothing had been stolen, she hummed a tune and walked briskly towards the area where cars were parked, she normally stood there to board a taxi which was also cheaper back home. She was quite happy and thanked God for using her landlord to bless her, the man was overly generous, she beamed, he was a nice man and his heart was beautiful. Out of the blues, the door to the car close to her suddenly opened. She tried balancing herself so as not to be hit but she was too late. As she fell to the ground and the bag she held tore, releasing its content to the floor, she met the sorry look of the young girl that had opened the car door mistakenly, ‘am sorry, am so sorry I didn’t mean for this to happen. Andy rushed out and helped the girl get up her on feet, he was immediately taken in by her beauty, she was breath taking and he felt in his heart that he had found the one! ‘ I Am sorry Sweetheart, forgive my cousin, you see she could be very clumsy sometimes’ he explained kindly, while Clarabella glared angrily at him. Deborah quickly released herself from his grip recalling the incident that had happened to her the previous night, this was the city and she was suspicious of all strangers, as a hawker she knew it was unsafe to chat with or engage oneself with strangers, one could get hypnotized and duped. ‘Thank you’ she muttered absent mindedly as she bent down to pack up her plantains, while Andy kept staring at her like he hadn’t seen a woman in his entire life, Clara jerked him a little with her elbow but he was lost, she wondered why men got so weak whenever they sighted a beautiful woman. Aniebiet wondered who the light skinned beauty was, he sneered, knowing fully well who his cousin was and what he was capable of, he increased his steps as he wanted to catch up with time, the party had to be perfect for his Morganna. When he got to where they were, he was stricken by the beauty of the young girl who was picking some foodstuffs from the floor, his sister explained what ensued, he heard her voice but he wasn’t listening, he took in the features of the girl, Morganna was definitely more beautiful than this girl but there was something about her light brown eyes and her pink lips, something sad, and it was drawing him to her, he noticed the scar on her face and wondered what had happened to her. Was she married? Did she have an abusive boyfriend? He wondered and suddenly felt an urge to protect her.

Once she was done transferring her goods from the old bag to the new, she stood up straight and met the gaze of the other guy that had just arrived. He smiled warmly at her, but she didn’t return it, she just stared into his deep brown eyes, he practically dwarfed her although she was tall, his chest was well shaped and the shirt he wore accentuated his physique, he was so cute that she felt her tommy rumble in a certain way, his eyes were soft and they glowed with kindness, then she looked at his car and the way he was dressed, definitely a highborn, all she heard herself say was ‘ excuse me’. Deborah – Episode Seven Deborah quickened her steps and wished the handsome guy could run after her but she was a bit disappointed as she saw his car on the highway. She swallowed and walked faster; she felt weak all over and wondered what had come over her. She had to behave, how could she be shaking like a leaf just because she had seen a cute man? she hadn’t felt like this before. She had seen many hot guys while hawking on campus and had felt nothing; This heat that rose in her stomach causing it to rumble did not make sense to her, she had to push out was she was thinking. She stopped and waved down the orange painted car that drove by, ‘drop me by PDP Office’, the man hesitated, ‘ it’s sixty naira’ he spoke roughly, ‘ fifty’? she bargained, he deliberated for a few seconds then opened the door for her. Deborah placed her hands on her chin and pondered on what went through her mind, suddenly the world felt colder than ever and she felt alone, she was confused; what was she going to do? She had to see him again and wondered what would even come out of that, clearly the man was a rich man, she had seen his type during hawking periods. They usually drove very flashy cars, they wore expensive perfume and expensive clothes and had beautiful ladies beside them, not lowly people like her, she thought as she stared down at her worn out palm sandals. For once she wished she could die, why was life so cruel? Why was every good thing meant for the rich? Then she saw her mother’s smiling face in her mind’s eye and smiled not realizing the Taxi had stopped. The Taxi driver stared at her closely from his mirror wondering why such a pretty girl could be plagued by mental problems; who would sit in a cab and smile by themselves? He suddenly realized that she was the only passenger he had carried all that long distance. She was a bundle of bad luck, he whispered almost audibly mkpo ufok, ‘god punish bad market’. Knowing fully well what was going on in the driver’s mind, Deborah laughed out loud and the man quickly drove away. She suddenly felt empty like something inside of her was missing, then she realized it was that face, the face that had smiled at her but she had ignored his smile, she wished she even had a picture of him but wishes were ashes from a quenched fire. She crossed over to the phone lady on the other side of the road, she needed to call her friend Sarah. She had missed speaking to her dear friend for two days now. ‘Hello Sarah its Deborah’, her friend responded excitedly ‘madam sweet Chocolate how fa, wey you bin dey dat time I come your house?’, Deborah suddenly felt her spirit rise, Sarah had a way of cheering people up. She didn’t narrate her unfortunate ordeal but just exchanged pleasantries while on the phone, she couldn’t afford the luxury of a long phone call at this point. She paid the woman in charge and left for home, she needed to rest properly; the next few days were going to be hectic for her. As she approached their apartment, she noticed something strange about the door, and she paused, I think I locked it, she reasoned. She knew she had locked the door before going but it was slightly aja and there was a pair of masculine sandals on the doorsteps. Deborah heaved a sigh, her sister was always causing trouble, she had most probably brought one of her boyfriends to the house again. She looked around and noticed the compound was empty, she remembered again that today was ‘Itam’ Market day. She braced herself up to face her sister, she had to put an end to her unruly behavior, she dropped her bag close to the door, took a deep breath and pushed opened the door. She was too shocked by what she saw, she couldn’t say a thing, she just stared at the duo and felt the tears she had been fighting poor down her cheeks. ‘Mama how could you’? was all she managed as she ran out of the room. Deborah – Episode Seven The garden was set for the ceremony, the chairs were well placed and the caterers had already started packaging the meals they had prepared. At the center of the garden was placed a large board which served as a platform, far along its side was a space provided for the bandstand and they were already at their best. The air smelt fresh, with fragrances of roses and chrysanthemum standing out. The breeze had started its sojourn and cooled the entire surrounding. Andy occupied a seat in front not wanting to miss any fun moment. He was happy for his cousin, since Morganna was his choice, then he had his support. He sipped the glass empty of the Chardonnay he had been drinking, closing his eyes he let the wine play with his brain while absorbing the sounds the music group produced. ‘Drunk in love, we be all night, love……..love…’ He opened his eyes as he listened intently to Beyonce’s lyrics, wondering whether her single ‘Drunk in love’ was just a song or reality, he had never fallen in love before, he didn’t believe it. Andy poured more from the bottle and sipped confusedly, he kept on thinking about the girl he had met close to the market. She had affected him strongly to the extent he became speechless when he saw her, he was awed by her beauty. He had seen lots and lots of pretty girls all his life, most threw themselves at him; being extra cute and from a wealthy family had given him that advantage, but right now he felt miserable, where could his looks and money get him now? How could he ever find the girl again? What if she was married or engaged as his cousin had suspected, he thought of that possibility because of the way she had acted coldly. He had to find her by God, he had to, that was the first time he was so drawn to a woman without thinking of her body. On his third glass, Seline grabbed the bottle from him, ‘what do you think you’re doing’? She smacked his head as he struggled with her, not wanting to make a scene he released the bottle, ‘ I’m fine just get away from me’, she pointed a finger at him ‘ no that is the wine talking, what’s wrong with you Andy’? He stood up and staggered back to the house, he needed to sleep over his worries and he needed something else to soothe him, he needed someone nearby, and that someone was ‘Jessica’ he groaned; although she was a maid, she was extremely talented in the act of bedding a man. Deborah – Episode Seven ‘You should be on your way now son’ Ekanem Briggas urged her son, she just couldn’t wait for the moment. Just then she sighted the entrance of her esteemed guests, the Ita family, she gave her best smile and ran to welcome them; she absolutely loved everything about the night, she had purposely worn her gown imported from Paris and her best jewelry set, she knew how to dress up for a party and she smiled satisfactorily as she saw the envy on the faces of some of the female guests. ‘Sweetheart I’m on my way, hold on’ Ani reassured Morganna as he drove to meet his wife to be. He was supposed to be thrilled by this event, no doubt he was happy but he wasn’t totally thrilled, something was missing, he felt it, but he pushed the thoughts out of his mind. He wasn’t a confused teenager who struggled with infatuation, Aniebiet Briggass was a full grown man and would accept this responsibility. He was approaching Morganna’s house but his thoughts weren’t about her, he couldn’t forget the girl he had seen earlier, the sadness in her gentle eyes and how fragile she had looked, he began to wonder if the night was a mistake. ‘Darling, you made it right on time’ said Morganna as she ran out to hug him, she looked as gorgeous as ever in her knee length black gown and her yellow pumps, he kissed her lips and smelt her hair, ‘you’re so beautiful’ he breathed, she kissed him back, ‘I love you baby’ she said with all her heart and melted like cotton candy into his lovely arms, they stood there for a moment taking in each other. As far as Morganna was concerned the world had stopped for that moment; only Ani mattered to her right now. Ani closed his eyes whispering to God, ‘I hope this is right’. He broke away from the passionate embrace and led her to the car, she felt like a queen, his queen, when she had settled, he kissed her again to reassure himself she was the one, while she smiled and got lost in his brooding eyes. Then he ignited the engine and sped off. ‘How was your day’ he asked looking a bit concerned, ‘my day was fine except it was quite stressful’,she replied ‘and yours’? He paused not wanting to remember the girl he met, ‘I was busy all day in the office but my thoughts were occupied with you my love’, she smiled and winked, ‘ Ani you’re acting funny tonight, you have never been this romantic, is there something you’re hiding from me’? she raised her finely shaped brow. Ani winced at the accusation, he was such a terrible liar, he felt like bursting with laughter knowing about the surprise package that awaited her, but he smiled instead, ‘ you are right my love’, he said as they approached the house, then he stopped the car just before they reached the building. He stared into her eyes for seconds and began smoothly, Andy had written him a love poem to back up his proposal , he cleared his throat and smiled once again………. ‘ I don’t know how to say this Morganna but I love you’… before he could continue, she sat up and hushed him ‘ are you trying to break with me’?,(Add 07060464153 for more stories) ‘ no….no not at all ‘ he stuttered, he quickly removed the casing of the ring and without second thoughts exclaimed ‘ Marry me Morganna Esio’, she stayed shocked for a moment then gave a loud scream ‘ yes, yes I will marry you’, she put her arms around him and hugged him tight, her dream had come true, the only man she ever loved had proposed to her ‘ I love you so much’, He removed her arms from around him and took in her beautiful face, then kissed her lips very slowly. She closed her eyes and relished this flame that was growing inside her, an unseen inferno yet he burnt her soul with his desires. He broke off remembering the party while wiping her lips. ‘Am sorry I smeared your lipstick’ he apologized, she elbowed him jokingly and they both laughed. As they both stepped down from the car, the people clapped and Morganna almost died of shock, she was awed by this reception, she never believed Aniebiet could go all the way for her, ‘ you did all this for me’? she asked with tears in her eyes, ‘ yes baby and I will do more’. Not minding the crowd, she pulled his face down for another kiss, while the audience clapped louder. They were both ushered to the center of the garden and a mock throne room designed with red and white roses. ‘I wish my father was here’ she whispered to him, ‘me too’ he replied and kissed her fingers.

The party went on well, then came the most crucial period, the crux of the whole event, the toast to the newly engaged couples, Andy was to deliver the post but he was nowhere to be found.The announcer called out his name twice but he was no where to be seen. There was a bit of embassrrased silence, not a woman who tolerated disorganization, Mrs Briggas took to the stage, said a few kind words and proposed a toast and they all drank to the ‘Bride and Groom’. It was such a lovely night, the wind and its cool presence coupled with the melodious harmony of the music band, everything was beautiful. Deborah – Episode Eight One thing Ekanem Briggas hated was unserious and lazy people, she returned to the house to search for Andy, how could he embarrass her so, although she loved her husband’s nephew like her own biological son, she had zero tolerance for irresponsibility. She got to his door and for several minutes and got no answer. She decided to give up, maybe he was asleep, she had heard Seline complaining about his intake of alcohol hours before. She finally gave up and went down to the other end of the house, she needed to check on the servants to see if they were on their toes, food had to be served immediately. As she approached the servants quarters, she heard muffled sounds, like someone was in pain, she became curious as she wouldn’t allow any cursed servant to put an end to her son’s engagement party. She followed the trail of the sound and stood before Jessica’s door, wondering what her maid was up to, she checked the door and found it open, she pushed it further and screamed in shock. They fell down naked from each other, while Andy quickly wore his boxers, Jessica had no option than to go on her knees, ‘ I’m sorry madam, it was a mistake’, She eyed the girl for a long time and laced her words with a heavy dose of hatred ‘Get your things and leave my house and Andy I’m highly disappointed in you, your uncle would get to hear about this act of shame’. Deborah – Episode Eight Deborah finally made up her mind to return to the house, she had wept enough over what she considered a betrayal by her mother. She decided that Home wasn’t safe for her anymore, if her mother who preached chastity and morals could condescend so low, then she could be led into a trap at anytime. She was alone now, she couldn’t quite see the difference between her mother and her sister Eno, her mother was a bloody hypocrite and she had made up her mind to leave her for good. She was now an orphan, she had to find a place, she just needed her space. Walking into the compound, the memory of what transpired ealier in the day came back to her and she felt sick in her stocmach. She knocked on the door twice and was surprised to see Eno open the door; Eno looked disturbed and scared, but she ignored her, afterall it was Eno, the stubborn bull of the house. She had wondered where Eno had gotten that wayward character from and from what she had seen, her mother was probably like that. She ignored her mother, who lay quietly on the bed; she quickly changed her clothes and left for a bath. ‘What is going on between you two’? Eno asked her mother, ‘favorite mother and daughter keeping malice? And here was I thinking I’m the only devil’ Her mother hissed and turned to face the wall, what she had done was inexcusable but she had to do it for them to survive, for them to have a roof over their heads, it was a matter of survival. Unlike other men that used and dumped her without tangible benefits; the landlord had proven himself generous. They had been careless and their cover had been blown. Now the virtuous image she had painted for her kids and urged them to emulate was gone, especially for Deborah, she sighed again and prayed her daughter forgave her. She had to do it, the landlord had wanted Deborah for himself or they pay up their accumulated rent but her mother had begged him crying to have her instead and they both had come to enjoy each other’s company. She however had no excuse, the landlord had a wife, a stable marriage at that and five beautiful children, she felt the impact of what she had done when her daughter came back a second time and totally ignored her joining her sister on the mat. Deborah sighed as she lay on the mat, she had tried sleeping but sleep eluded her beautiful eyes, she tried praying but she saw the picture again, her landlord butt naked grinding over her mother on the bare floor like cavemen, she forced her eyes shut and opened them when her sister flashed the torch on her face, ‘what’s going on between you two’? her sister asked looking innocent, Deborah ignored her and wondered why her sister had changed all of a sudden, she only acted this way if she was in serious trouble, Deborah hissed as her thoughts raced ‘ only this time I won’t be here to save you from whatever you got yourself into’. Deborah – Episode Eight The morning came as expected, Deborah handled her chores well and avoided her mother who tried making small talk, she had barely gone five feet away from the house when she heard her mother shouting loudly in a broken voice ‘Eno you are pregnant, you have killed me, we barely feed well yet you have brought in another mouth’ tears spilled her mother’s face, she was frustrated, raising two kids alone wasn’t easy and now she had made a mess of it, Eno stood quietly at the doorpost sobbing ‘mama I’m so sorry’, Her mother stopped crying, it was of no use and knowing her daughter well, the pregnancy was past abortion that is probably the reason the girl had kept this, she felt so bad, where had she gone wrong in training Eno? Deborah stood watching the scene, she couldn’t believe her ears, then it dawned on her, she really had to leave her mother and sister, their stories made her irritated, ‘ who is responsible’? her mother kept on asking but the poor girl cried louder attracting the other neighbors. Having gotten wind of the information, the women advised her mother to take it easy with the Eno. Deborah sat silently amidst all the voices, she needed help from God and she needed it badly. As the questions increased, the girl had no choice than to expose the man who had gotten her pregnant, ‘landlord’ she cried, ‘ Ehen what has landlord got to do with this’?, she shivered a bit and nodded her head, her mother fell to the ground in agony. Deborah couldn’t take it anymore she ran with her wares and left for the camp of hawkers, she had to get her mind off things, she needed fresh air. Deborah – Episode Eight The night had been a success, Morganna lay beside Ani smiling and watching his adorable face while he slept, nothing could replace what she was feeling now, she couldn’t wait to celebrate with her friends, the wedding dates had already been fixed, in a month’s time she would become a Briggas. The wife of the richest young man in the country, she mused, flicking her fingers as she admired the expensive sapphire ring he had gotten her. She had found freedom; her soul was at peace just because of one man. Ani was enjoying his dream, he didn’t want to wake up, he didn’t want to let her go. He had seen her again, this time, they were in a garden, he plucked a rose and placed it on her glorious head, she was so beautiful and he felt joy seeing her smile. Suddenly she became sad again, ‘what’s wrong my love’? he breathed, she sighed and walked away from him, he ran after her but he was too late, ‘come back’ he cried, but he saw her next on the far side of the road, with a basket on her head crying, , ‘who will buy my wares’ and vanished. He awoke with shouts of ‘no!!!! come back’. ‘Aniebiet, wake up’ she shook him, he gasped and opened his eyes, meeting the eyes of a confused Morganna, ‘it was only a dream’ he breathed reassuringly, he had seen the girl again, ‘my love what was it about’, he smiled and shook his head, ‘nothing to worry about’ rising up to have his morning bath. ‘I will be back shortly’, she smiled mischievously at his retreating figure and called out seductively ‘care if I join you’?

Deborah – Episode Ten ‘so what did the landlord say concerning the pregnancy’ Sarah inquired as she peeled more oranges for sale. Deborah looked away painfully ‘he denied sleeping with her calling her a dog who had slept with all the men in the neighborhood, he even threatened to throw us out’, Sarah stared at her friend, she could understand how she felt, ‘ I am sorry Sweet Choco, but take things easy, one step at a time’, she rubbed her back, ‘ I would’ve advised your sister to abort the baby but it’s too late besides your mother is such a strict woman and she wouldn’t encourage that’, speaking of her mother, Deborah rose up, she hadn’t spoken to the woman in days, she had to find a way to forgive her mother, whatever she had done was out of poverty, howbeit she still felt disappointed. Her friend watched as she left for her wares, she hated seeing her friend depressed, she thanked God their sales went on well, if not, Deborah would’ve cried herself to death over all her family problems. Deborah – Episode Ten ‘Wetin dey worry that one’ Papilo asked as he arranged his Gala and Lacasera for sale, as the traffic had begun to accumulate, ‘ how that wan take concern you’? Sarah smirked, ‘why e no go concern me’, he pushed her aside, ‘I like that your friend, put in a good word for me, I go arrange small sontin give you’ he smiled foolishly. Sarah just ignored him and positioned her tray for the next batch of vehicles, ‘god punish bad market like you Papilo, u no dey shame, such a fyn gal wey need rich man for her life’ u dey sell common gala and u get mind to sike woman’ Papilo simply smiled at her, ‘ stupid gal, oya go and sell your orange, that man dey call you’. Deborah had made up her mind, she was going to run away from the house, she couldn’t bear it anymore, she would save her daily earnings. Coupled with the money from the ‘esusu’ she would have enough to start a new life somewhere else. This however didn’t mean she had given up her dream of going to a University. you are reading Deborah – Episode Ten Aniebiet was furious with his sister, how dare Clara call his future wife a whore?, ‘you really have some explaining to do’ he stammered, knowing the full implication of what she had done, Clara broke into tears, ‘ I’m sorry Bro, it was a slip of the tongue’ He ignored her and kept on driving feeling more pissed as he joined the long line of cars. Andy had nothing more to say, he simply fiddled with his phone, he had to get another girl tonight, he recalled the chick he had met at the movies, ‘the Uniuyo chick’ as she had come to be known by his cousin. He would drive towards her hostel later in the evening when he was a bit stronger and better recovered from his hangover. Suddenly he heard a rush of feet and lifted his face to see hawkers rushing towards them, he stared at them absent mindedly before spotting a face amongst them, he remembered her vividly, the girl from the market, but he was kind of disappointed…so she was a hawker? He didn’t mind, he had to talk to her , ‘ stop the car’ he called to his cousin, but it was too late. The traffic light had just turned green and Ani had moved on. ‘stop the car Aniebiet’ barked Andy. His cousin instantly obeyed looking startled, what had come over Andy again?, he slowed the vehicle and cleared by the roadside. Andy ran out of the car towards the camp of Hawkers, Aniebiet peeped shaking his head and wondering what his cousin was up to, “that boy was surely going nuts” he thought to himself. ‘ I’m sorry Ani, I didn’t mean to say that, if you don’t want me to go on this date, we can turn back’, stuttered Clara Ani stared at her innocent face and scoffed, ‘seriously? When we are almost there?, as much as I love the idea, I should be the one apologizing, I had no right to talk to you that way’, she was all smiles, ‘ so we’re good’? he nodded and saw Andy approach with two hawkers, ‘ ever so crazy’, he muttered. This is Deborah – Episode Ten Deborah followed the young man reluctantly back to where his expensive car was parked. It was her friend Sarah that had urged her to follow him. Sarah smiled as they walked towards the car, she had seen the look in the guy’s eyes and knew he liked Sweet Chocolate. Deborah remembered him vividly, the guy from the market whose sister had accidentally hit her with the car door but she feigned ignorance, ‘this way he directed’. Her heart beat faster as she saw him, the rich guy, he sat in front of the car and looked away when he saw her, she blushed and felt stupid instantly. What was she thinking? That a man of such status could ever like her talk more of love? she felt weak and would’ve run back if Sarah hadn’t pinched her waist. ‘I want to buy all your wares, how much will that cost’? Aniebiet heard his cousin speak to the girls. He turned and froze immediately he saw her, his heart was beating so quickly, he felt like getting down from the car and hugging her but he controlled himself. He was engaged to another woman and here he was admiring another. Clarabella smiled to herself as she observed her brother who had suddenly gone aloof and quiet. ‘Hurry up’ he thundered as he started the car. Clara ignored him and stepped down to have a word with the pretty girl, ‘ I am sorry I hit you, what’s your name’? Deborah was stunned, such a girl talking to someone like her? ‘Deborah’ she answered smiling. ‘So beautiful’ thought Andy as he watched the girl smile. He handed her a roll of a thousand naira notes and her friend a roll of five hundreds, winking at the two. ‘can I have your number’? he asked Deborah, she shook her head shyly. ‘she doesn’t have a phone, I can give you mine, you can get her through me’ Sarah offered. He typed in the number and rubbed her cheek, while his annoying cousin Ani kept on honking the car impatiently. ‘Goodbye Deborah’ Clara waved as she stepped into the car. she felt so happy, she had made a new friend. Andy waved at the girls and winked at Deborah, who waved back shyly and wished for once the other guy had even looked her way, but he didnt , he started the car and drove away.

episode eleven ‘He likes you’ Sarah announced excitedly as they walked towards their stand, Deborah pretended not to hear…her mind was far away. She thought about the other man, the way he ignored her completely made her feel worse about her situation, she wished he was the one that spoke to her, instead of his cousin but his sister was friendly and nicer than he was, that made her smile. ‘you no hear wetin I talk’? Sarah asked a bit pissed off…these days she found it hard to understand her friend…one minute she was happy, the next she was so withdrawn. She shrugged and gave up leaving Deborah behind. Deborah sighed as she observed her friend’s action, if only she understood…if only she were to be in her shoes. So many things went through her mind. Her sister was pregnant for the same man her mother was having an affair with, and she knew very well Eno was telling the truth. She feared for her life….she had to help her sister before she did something stupid. You are reading Deborah – Episode Eleven ‘madam come o, your boyfriend don call’ Sarah called after her, whatever bothered her friend was going to wait, she loved her friend dearly and prayed everything worked out well for her. One of her prayers was being answered….from the way the Andy guy appeared, he was definitely a rich guy and from the way he stared at Deborah, Sarah knew her woes would soon be over. ‘hello’ she took the phone reluctantly from her friend. ‘hi angel…how are you doing’? Andy smiled and ruffled his hair…he couldn’t believe he’d found her again…he’d seen her after so long. He knew she was the one…he just knew that. ‘ I’m fine thank you’ she replied….she wasn’t comfortable around guys like him. He was a Casanova from his smooth talks and the aura around him, she wasn’t interested in whatever he had to offer….she only desired the other, and she felt ashamed. ‘can we sit out’? Deborah paused and stared at her friend not knowing what to say in reply, she would be a horrible person to turn him down after his unrelenting generosity earlier. ‘Say yes now’ Sarah urged her on. ‘Yes?’ she answered slowly….her friend was an expert in this kind of thing but she wasn’t. ‘Okay….where should I pick you up’? ‘By the road’ she said without thinking and suddenly felt stupid as the words had already flew out of her mouth. She felt worse when her friend burst out laughing…. ‘You are very funny dear’ Andy chuckled….by the road? Was she a ghost or something? ‘Okay…stop laughing…by Abak road where you saw me today’ she smiled…the guy was a nice person and friendly too. ‘Okay by 4pm’ they made some more chit chat and later cut off the call. ‘What was that about? Babe you don fall my hand’ Sarah struggled to stop herself from laughing. Deborah hissed and walked away from her friend. ‘Are you sure I’m doing the right thing’? she confided in Sarah. ‘Yes of course….if I were you, I would hold this guy tight…he loves you from the way he acted’ Sarah beamed with smiles. ‘Love ke? But he has seen me just twice’ ‘Oh? So you guys have met before’ Sarah teased…knowing her friend was getting annoyed she stopped and quickly changed the subject. ‘So how is your mother and Eno’? ‘Fine…they are fine’ Deborah lied as her eyes widened in shock….Andy was generous. She held a wrap of a thousand naira notes which amounted to ten thousand Naira. ‘You see? I told you he likes you, just hear him out’. You are reading Deborah – Episode Eleven ‘ I hail thee o baddo’ Clara screamed as she hopped on the bed….her cousin was the worst player of all time…he was a smooth player. Just like a serpent watching its prey, he had moved slowly from the Uniuyo chic to the hawker girl. ‘You better calm down’ Andy said ‘I have fallen in love’ he told her as he grabbed her feet and she fell on the bed. He loved her so much, Clara was the younger sister he never had. ‘You fall in love’? she smirked…that was quite unbelievable as the sun rising in the west and setting at the east. ‘When the koko master falls in love, you have to believe it’ he winked… Clara was silent for a while….if her assessment of Ani was right, then there was going to be trouble. ‘its not love, I can’t call it love and believe me it’s not lust either’ Andy began…. ‘ I’m listening’ Clara raised her brows and watched him intently, she had never seen her cousin talk about a woman this way. ‘I swear I haven’t even thought about kissing her and its strange …all the women I have been with have never caught my attention like this. There’s just something about this girl and am afraid…because I don’t understand my feelings anymore’ ‘This is serious’ went Clara speaking in a low tone….Andy was in love but he didn’t understand it… she watched as his eyes glimmered with hope and respect for the girl he talked about. Clara wasn’t surprised either, the girl in question, wasn’t hard to like. Smiles came easily from her pink lips and she was beautiful, far more compared to Morganna. But Aniebiet hadn’t seen it that way, sometimes she wondered what attraction laid between them both. Morganna was just a wrong choice for her brother, but their mother was too blind by flamboyance to see that. ‘I hope she feels the same way’ she wished Andy good luck. That scared him too, what if he didn’t impress her? She didn’t sound too thrilled when he’d called her earlier, he silently prayed in his heart. ‘see you later, Andy’ ‘I got picked by House of Moqums to model jewelry for their fashion fare here in Uyo, so I have to get ready, it’s the biggest fashion show that’s going to hold in the country even mother and Seline are coming’ went Clara ‘When is it holding?’ he asked ‘a week from now’ ‘ I’m proud of you, go shine your light’ he blew her a peck with his fingers and she ran out of the room in giggles. You are reading Deborah – Episode Eleven ‘What’s the excitement about?’ Ani held his sister as she bumped into him. The girl was hyperactive. ‘Well, Andy asked the hawker girl out and she agreed to date him’ she purposely said this to her brother so as to be certain of her facts. ‘And why would he do that’? Ani asked as his face darkened…her golden eyes still haunted him, her fragile nature would not evade his memory. He wished he could see her again but he’d made up his mind…Morganna was his bride…however his heart raced as the images of seeing her with Andy filled his brain. ‘Are you okay’? Clara asked innocently, her brother had also fallen for the same girl but she knew he could never have her, it was too late.

episode 12 She returned home a bit late and met an empty house. Gladly; she settled on the floor and pulled out all she’d made for the day. She was glad she was alone; at least her sister wouldn’t be here to see where she hid her money. If she did, the money would usually disappear the next day. Her mother was away and she wasn’t bothered, the woman was guilty but she couldn’t face her for now. She still had her plans, she would find a better job and save up awhile then she’d go back to school later. Satisfied with her dreams, she smiled to herself, maybe Andy was God sent to her, maybe he was the helper she’d prayed for all this while. She knew his type, she gently placed his money on her lap and began counting, she wouldn’t use it, till after their date, she wanted to hear him out, if he requested for something beyond her, she would simply return his money. Deborah – Episode Twelve ‘where did you get all that from’? her mother spoke sternly as she walked in…. Deborah jerked as she had forgotten to close the door. Why did her mother have to sound that way? Why did she act like a saint? As far as she was concerned, she was the only saint in this house. She ignored her mother and continued counting, her mother had betrayed her, all the trust, the values she’d inculcated in them was for naught. ‘I asked you a question’ the woman drew nearer to her. ‘And I refuse to answer’ she replied rudely. Her mother stood there silently for a while, then reached out and gave her daughter a resounding slap. Deborah held her chin feeling the heavy thud; she didn’t know how to numb this pain. She stared at her mother angrily and made up her mind, she was leaving and never would she return. ‘What do you think you’re doing’? the woman watched fearfully as her daughter began packing her belongings, she knew she had gone too far. Not answering, Deborah grabbed the best clothes she had and ran out of the house. ‘Come back, do you hear me’? her mother screamed, but she was far away. She felt a heavy cloud above her and she broke down in tears, yes, she was a failure. She hadn’t set a good example, she was the worst mother in the world. you are reading Deborah – Episode Twelve Not quite long after, Eno burst into the house and found her mom seated on the floor looking dejected. ‘Mama what’s going on’? Eno was surprised to see her mother in this position; she had gone around and searched for money for the abortion; but all to no avail. She wanted to get rid of the pregnancy, her mother and Deborah had suffered enough, they deserved to be happy. ‘Your sister….’ her mother  stuttered. Eno’s heart raced; What had happened? She looked around for the first time, and noticed somethings missing in the room. It looked emptier than usual, as if someone had taken some clothes away. ‘What about my sister’? ‘She has left us’ the woman answered weakly ‘and it was all my fault’. ‘Isn’t she coming back’? Eno swallowed a sob and fell down beside her mother. Deborah – Episode Twelve ‘What are you doing here’? Sarah was bewildered, this was a bit strange, as Deborah rarely visited this late. ‘Can I stay with you for some time? Before I find a job’? Deborah begged ‘Of course you can…come in’ she wondered what had transpired at her freind’s house. ‘Lie over there’ Sarah directed as she handed her friend a mat. The room was dark, but Deborah felt they weren’t alone …she quickly noticed a pair of greedy eyes staring at her. ‘Sarah!’ she screamed as she recognized the owner of the eyes…her friend was full of surprises. ‘Wetin happen’? Papillo sneered at Debo. ‘Shut up Papillo, come and go’ Sarah felt a little embarrassed. But she had to do what she had to, to survive by all means. ‘But we jus do am only once na….haba! Uyai Iban, treat me well na, five more rounds then I go’ he begged… ‘I can’t believe this’ Debo muttered to herself already feeling disgusted by the conversation. ‘I will be outside, call me when you guys are done’ she announced and walked out angrily. She then realized, she had made a big mistake by running out of the house. Sarah was the last person she was going to live with. Deborah – Episode Twelve ‘How was your night’? Mrs Briggas asked her son, she’d seen the look of worry on his face ‘ I’m fine mom….just stressed out with this wedding stuff’ he lied… he wasn’t okay, he knew that…he had so much fears and each ended with those pair of golden eyes searching his face. He felt stupid for feeling like a school boy in love, he was probably having a crush but his heart said something different. Why was she always in his thoughts ? he didn’t even know her name; he hadn’t cared to see her the other time and now his cousin was going to win her over. ‘Good morning everyone’ Andy appeared in the dining room and all eyes turned on him suspiciously ‘Why the glow cousin’? Selene teased, she too felt better this morning. She suspected Andy must have had a woman in the house. As if her mother read her thoughts, ‘Andy, I hope you don’t have a woman in my house’? and the rest laughed. ‘ I’m quite disappointed; you guys think the worst of me’ he shrugged, he wasn’t surprised, he had done some pretty terrible things in the past but he was currently changed. ‘Somebody is in love’ Clara announced and her cousin grimaced. Why did she have to be this loud mouthed? Ani wore a frown and mistakenly dropped his glass…he couldn’t take it any more…. ‘Excuse me I am late for work’ he said and stormed out of the house. ‘What’s wrong with that one’? Seline hissed feeling irritated by her brother’s action. ‘So Andy tell me about this girl whom you’ve fallen in love with’? Mrs Briggas teased, she knew her nephew well, he was untamable when it came to women, but she was a bit curious. ‘well she is very beautiful and I love her, that is all you must know for now’ he replied feeling uncomfortable with the questions being thrown at him. ‘What the hell is this’? Seline screamed, as she spat out the chips she was served….why did the maids have to be this dumb? For God’s sake they were being paid good money. ‘Take it easy’ her mother purred. Clara was a bit irritated, why did her older sister always have to act like an over pampered baby? ‘Andy, you really have to get me a maid as quick as possible; someone who can cook excellently well’. said Mrs Briggas. ‘after all, you were the one who made me drive the other one away’ ‘Okay’ he replied…where on earth was he going to find a maid? And the frustration about the whole matter was that Uyo lacked Housekeepers Agencies compared to Lagos. He was in big trouble and his aunt meant every word as she continued staring fiercely at his direction. He avoided her eyes, and focused on something that was bugging his mind. His cousin was acting weird lately….was it the stress of the wedding? Maybe it was Morganna stress. He had to uncover the veil masking her secret but he didn’t know how, but one thing was sure, there was something dark about her….something sinister that would cover Ani if she wasn’t exposed on time.

Deborah couldn’t go to work that day, it was confusing, was she to stay with Sarah after what she had seen? She felt too ashamed to get back to the house. She felt she had made a big mistake coming over to Sarah’s who had betrayed her trust by going down with Papilo. ‘ I’m sorry …won’t you say something’? Sarah watched her friend who had been quiet all morning, she knew she had erred and Debo’s anger or disappointment, whichever, was justified. She didn’t need to explain herself to anybody…she had to do what she did to survive. But what she couldn’t bear was the deadly silence of her best friend. Deborah – Episode Thirteen ‘I am not upset Sarah… I’m just lost in thought’ Debo returned ‘Lost in thought….’? went Sarah ‘Yes…i don’t have to bother you with my family problems…I just wished things would get better” Sarah nodded…it was true, although her story was different from sweet choco’s, she could relate very well to that. That’s why she had to hustle, unlike her friend whose beauty could open many doors for her, she wasn’t much blessed with beauty. ‘So what do we do? Aren’t you coming back to work’? “I dont feel like’ Deborah responded. Ok, i will stay home with you. I think I deserve some rest. Deborah – Episode Thirteen They had spent most of the morning and early afternoon talking and going over several things. Deborah began to feel comfortable and had almost forgotten her friend’s infraction with Papilo. Suddenly, Sarah’s phone rang out. Deborah watched her friend closely as she received one of her numerous phone calls, what was she smiling at now? ‘It’s that your guy babe…come and speak to him’ Sarah offered her the phone ‘What guy?’ But her friend ignored her and placed the phone directly to her ears… The baritone was quite familiar….even before he introduced himself, she could have guessed it was him. ‘Hi Andy…..’she stuttered not knowing what next to say. “sorry about this, can we meet now. I should be with you in 30 minutes? went Andy. “I am not so sure any longer about the date. but I thought it was for 4pm. That is still a way off.” ‘why, is there a problem”? went Andy Sarah had been listening into the conversation and nudged her arm… ‘nothing…okay, can I come with my friend Sarah’? ‘That’s okay….just wait for me…Would be there in thirty minutes’ “that is too early, please give us about an hour to get ready” Carefully she handed over the phone to Sarah, who continued with Andy reassuring him that they would be there and then dropped the phone. ‘You amaze me Debo, it’s just a date and he won’t harm you, why do i have to come?’Sara was quite perplexed. ‘I just need you around, I don’t trust that guy’ Sarah rolled her eyes, well her friend was right, Andy looked every bit like a player but she was quite sure his intentions regarding her friend were different. “He likes you, that’s all that matters’ Sara winked. you are reading Deborah – Episode Thirteen After minutes of being painted like an ekpo masquerade by Sarah, Debo simply stared at the mirror in horror. What had come over her friend? ‘Wow you look splendid… If I were half as beautiful as you,I wouldn’t be hawking fruits I swear!’ Sarah teased, obviously pleased with her work. ‘I don’t like it’ Debo spoke as calmly as possible, knowing Sarah well, she would go berserk if her works weren’t appreciated. ‘I don’t understand you’ Sarah feigned ignorance…she wasn’t in the mood to argue. They had argued over everything including what to wear. Sarah had chosen the best of her clothes and given to her friend to wear. Deborah had protested on the grounds that they were too revealing. ‘Just wear it for today, this guy may be your future husband o’ she continued as she cajoled Debo to wear the clothes. Later they stood waiting by the roadside waiting for Andy. Men gawked lustfully at Deborah while Sarah smiled with satisfaction. If this went well, she knew her friend would never forget her. ‘You look sexy’ said Sarah but failed in her attempt to make her friend smile. ‘ I’m not comfortable in this outfit; i would’ve preferred my own clothes’ Deborah complained. It was bad that men gaped at her like some piece of candy. However, that didn’t bother her as much as the wrong impression she was going to give this Andy guy about herself. It was too late, to turn back. Suddenly, Andy appeared; he stopped his car and stepped out with his eyes fixed on her. ‘You are something else’ he trailed off as he touched her face, thank God! Clara wasn’t here, he’d purposely rescheduled the date while his cousin was still waiting for 4p.m ‘Thank you?’ She whispered nervously, she wasn’t comfortable with the way he smiled at her, like she was his trophy. Deborah – Episode Thirteen Andy gazed down on the brown eyed Beauty, she looked every bit different from the other times he saw her, for once, he saw the truth in the saying that ‘money made a woman beautiful’. She wore a spaghetti hand top with a plain ash mini skirt which showed off her chocolate creamy legs. Her full lips glowed underneath the heap of rouge and the black liner accentuated her beautiful eyes. He acknowledged her friend briefly and guided them both towards his car. He tried making small talk as he drove, but she responded in one worded sentences, he gave up and smiled to himself. He had always dreamt of the day he would fall in love, his dreams sat beside him. ‘This place is expensive” Sara whispered from behind as he stopped the car at the restaurant. Yes it was quite expensive, but he was ready to spoil this angel with gifts, he wanted more than anything to win her heart, but first he had to know more about her. They sat close to thirty minutes without making any meaningful discussion. Andy thanked his stars her friend had followed them. She answered most of the questions, while Deborah appeared lost. ‘So how about your parents’? He inquired, she had finished secondary school, he had to know more, he sincerely wanted to help her. ‘That’s a long story…i don’t wish to talk about it ’she sounded a bit pissed off. Andy felt bad, was he intruding? Sara noticed this and quickly came to his rescue. ‘As she said it’s a long story, but she has a mother and a sister. She is in need of a job badly, so if you can fix her up, it would do her a lot of good’ Deborah glared at her friend angrily…why did she have to be this mouthy? Sadly, Sara was right, she was too busy thinking about the other guy, she had to swallow her foolish pride and treat this guy well, maybe he was her helper. ‘Do you need a job’? Andy was concerned, he could do anything to help her right now She nodded in affirmation. ‘So what skills do you have? What kind of job do you want?’ ‘I don’t have any skills, but I wanted being a housekeeper or something like that’ ‘House keeper’? Andy thought for a while…would his aunt accept her? Slowly excitement crept up his spine and he felt like shattering into tiny pieces. This would afford him the opportunity of getting to know her better. ‘Okay, when do you plan to resume’? He asked ‘I don’t understand ….I have the job’? Debo smiled happily…but something else bothered her… ‘Yes you have the job and something else’ he brought out a phone pack but he saw the reluctance in her eyes. What had he done now? ‘Would i be working for you? Or your family’? ‘My aunt precisely’ Andy laughed as her question dawned on him, why did people see him in bad light always? ‘Okay…, thank you sir’ she whispered. ‘That’s not all’ he continued as he shifted the phone pack towards her…. ‘Wow’ Sarah gasped as she fingered the IPhone …. Her friend was indeed lucky…. ‘What’s this for’? Deborah was confused; the guy hadn’t said anything… ‘For you darling….i want you to have it, so we can communicate better’ She shook her head; her mother had warned her about getting gifts from men. But was her mother a saint? ‘I can’t accept this…I barely know you and you have done all these for me?’ ‘Trust me, you deserve more’ he placed the pack in her palm. Deborah – Episode Thirteen Sara rolled her eyes back and forth; her friend was really amusing… ‘Thank you for your generosity towards my friend, God bless you’ ‘You’re welcome Sarah’ Andy smiled still waiting for Deborah’s reply. ‘ I’m sorry I seem ungrateful it’s just that….’ She slowed… ‘What is it’? he asked….was it not good enough? He thought? He could buy another…. ‘I have nothing to give you in return’ she was being honest, she wasn’t ready to repay him with her body or anything else. Andy smiled, for the first time he actually didn’t want a thing from a woman… ‘I never asked for anything in return….I just want you to be comfortable around me …okay?’ She nodded and made extra effort to hide the tears that welled up in her eyes She was absolutely touched by his kindness…was it genuine? Did he really mean it or was he masquerading? ‘About the job, when will you resume’? he fiddled his phone… ‘tomorrow’ she replied.

episode 14 ‘So what do you think’? she was a bit confused, was she making the right decision? To work for Andy’s aunt. She still had reservations about the guy….the way he looked at her, like he wanted something, he desired her…but she had to trust him… ‘Of course, this is an opportunity of a lifetime and if you miss it…you’ll have yourself to blame’ Sara replied… ‘Okay…should I tell my mother about it or I should move straight from your place’? Sara was startled, she had been friends with Deborah for a long time and she knew how close the girl was to her mother…something had definitely gone wrong. ‘Do you mind letting me on’? she said to Deborah. ‘I don’t understand you Sarah’ ‘Did you fight with your mother’? Deborah looked away; she couldn’t answer that right away, it would mean spilling the secrets she had hid safely in her belly…a very dirty secret. ‘I guess I will leave from your place’…she finally decided…what was the point of returning home? Home represented many things, sorrow and unease, for example, going back would plunge her into another ravine of depression. There was no hope for her family; the poor would always remain poor besides she was still angry with her mother for betraying her trust. In time, she would get over it …she prayed to God to enable her move past what she had seen. Fear gripped her slowly….till she was possessed by it…what was it like working for the high class? Would they treat her kindly? That wasn’t the greatest of fears… would she see him again? The man that had stolen her heart… Deborah – Episode Fourteen ‘Somebody help!’ she groaned….she was lost in the darkness that enclosed her…. Where am i? she gasped…..then her heart raced, why did the blackness hover round her….was she dead? No! she couldn’t be….her memory was blank ….then she felt something run off her legs…she attempted to bend, but she couldn’t…. ‘God help me’ she whispered…sobbing lightly, her brain twirled and the pieces of what had befallen her came together… ‘Help me’! She cried louder….screaming with all the strength she had left from the automobile accident….yes, she remembered. She remembered being in a car, she had been travelling home from Katsina where she served as a corper….then the driver suddenly lost control of the brakes….it was too late…the car somersaulted and there was fire… She quieted down as she heard footsteps….somebody must have heard her cry…. She was right….the young woman pulled her out of the ditch with the help of some other men…still, her legs felt weak almost numb…. ‘Where am I’? She asked… ‘A village’ the woman answered…. ‘A village where’? she was growing impatient… ‘Benue’ she replied as they helped her to a hut… ‘My name is Ateri…let me fetch my mother, you are quite lucky you know’ ‘Lucky?’ was she lucky to have had an accident….she was in Benue, a bit close to home… ‘she’s a bone setter’ Ateri replied and ran to fetch her mother… Ekanem spent few weeks with them in their hut…on leaving Ateri who had saved her life; she gave her some money and promised to keep in touch. Although Ateri was few years younger than she was, they had become very good friends… For years she had searched for the woman who’d saved her life, but the last she’d heard from Ateri was from her mother….Ateri died trying to abort a pregnancy, a second pregnancy according to her mother. Ekanem Briggas jerked from the dream…..she wiped the tears that fell from her cheeks….that had happened a very long time ago, Ateri had been very nice to her, a total stranger but she didn’t live long enough due to the wrong choices she had made. She heard some noise outside….what was brewing? Her family seemed to argue about something….she rose slowly and headed for the bathroom. you are reading Deborah – Episode Fourteen ‘you deceived me, it’s so unfair’ Clara screamed…Andy had gone off to see the girl without her….and she really wanted to be friends with her. Aniebiet liked the and she wanted to use that to turn him against his witch of a fiancee. ‘I didn’t want you to see us making out…she has good lips you know’ Andy teased… ‘Just go to hell already…you’re such a killjoy’ Clara insisted… ‘And why are you so interested in my love life….does my little cousin have a crush on me’? Andy gave it a thought, Clara was very smart….and he knew she was playing a game… ‘That’s gross you know…tell me about the date’ she shifted closer to him…. ‘Well …something else came up….this is strictly between us, it would be a surprise to the rest tomorrow….’ Clara nodded, waiting eagerly for her cousin to say more…. Just then Aniebiet walked into the garden…. ‘I employed her…so she would be working for us’ he stopped as his cousin approached…. ‘Are you serious’? Clara gave a loud scream… Ani shook his head….his baby sister was something else… ‘What is it this time? You wanna bring the house down with your screams’? Clara ignored her brother and continued…. ‘She is coming over to stay with us’ she caught her breath and threw her arms on Ani…. Andy rolled his eyes….so much for secrets! Clara wasn’t very good at keeping them… ‘I don’t get you…who is coming over’? Ani steadied her…. ‘The girl we met the other day along Abak rd’ Andy chipped in…he was more excited than Clara…he just barely kept himself in check… ‘You mean the hawker girl?’ Ani broke away from his sister…this wasn’t good… Seeing Andy nod gave him more chills… ‘She can’t work here’ he cut in tightly…that would ruin his life….getting into a marriage he didn’t want was bad enough….Morganna loved him that was all that mattered… Andy was startled ….Ani was really getting weird… Deborah – Episode Fourteen ‘Who can’t work here’? Mrs Briggas approached their little assembly…. ‘Oh my God’ Andy gasped and stared daggers at Clara….she had ruined his surprise… She dropped her shoulders and gave him a puppy face, mouthing the words ‘I’m sorry’ ‘Andy has made a very wrong choice in choosing a housekeeper…’ Ani explained to his mom…for the first time in a long while, his mum looked sad….like something was weighing her down. ‘She isn’t a wrong choice…she’s got skills and everything. What’s with you man’? Ani was really changed…. ‘And you know this how’? Ani returned…he didn’t want her around…it was better that way….he knew the effect she had on him…it would ruin everything…. ‘You are growing up Andy. Keeping to your promises and taking up responsibilities. I must say this, I’m very proud of you’. Mrs Briggas was impressed, when she had asked him for a maid; she hadn’t expected him to find one…(Add 07060464153 for more stories) ‘Thank you’ Andy smiled at his aunt… ‘So tell me Ani….why are you so uncomfortable with this arrangement’? His mother faced him now, and his mouth went dry… ‘She’s a hawker….i don’t think that is okay’ he felt like a devil for sounding this way…. Clara was a bit disappointed…her brother never looked down on anybody…it was obvious Morganna had started digging into him…. ‘So you’re all acquainted with this girl’? His mother looked from face to face…. ‘Clara what do you think’? Delighted by her mother’s question…she was going to make the most of it… ‘she is a good cook….don’t ask me how I knew this but please if you love me and you want to have your peace….Hire her’ she smiled as she dropped her opinion on the table…. ‘Well let’s see what happens…bring her home’ Ani felt defeated….worse still, his house was still under reconstruction….he was stuck….they had many other houses but he didn’t feel like going over there… He was just going to have to avoid her…

episode 15 Glad that morning had come after all her tossing and turning on the bed, she rose and peered outside…Was she doing the right thing? She was suddenly consumed by guilt…was running from her family the best she could do? The phone he’d gotten her was really beautiful but she wasn’t in need of it… it was too expensive for her kind of person and what kind of impression was her employer going to have about her…. ‘Are you sure you are ready to do this’ Sara asked from behind….unlike her friend, she still had to hawk…. ‘ I’m confused’ she shivered…. Sara walked closer and gripped her firmly by the shoulder… ‘As I said earlier, if you miss this opportunity….then your life is over. Look at the table, look at what Andy is offering…a job and I’m quite sure you will be well paid. Start getting your things ready’ Deborah was speechless…her friend was right, she needed to do this but she still had one stone left unturned….her mother and sister needed money, especially now Eno was pregnant. ‘Do me a favor’ she handed the phone to Sara ;‘sell this to one of those your boys….give the money to mama….if she asks you about me, don’t divulge any information’…. Sara was stunned….what could’ve really happened between Debo and her mother? ‘I can’t do this, I don’t want to get involved’ she shook her head…. ‘I beg you…you just have to’ just then the phone rang…. ‘its him’ Sara gave her friend a knowing look, Andy was probably around the corner… ‘hello’ Deborah greeted him…he sounded excited… ‘I hope you’re ready… I am picking you up in twenty minutes because you really need to see my aunt’ She nodded …. ‘Yes I’m ready…meet me by the roadside’ That was that, now she turned to face her friend, did she really mean it ‘What you’re asking is quite difficult….besides how do I get to contact you when you’re gone’ ‘oh!’ Debo gasped….that was something….maybe she was wrong. ‘Just do take care of yourself….call me okay? And visit anytime you have the chance’ Sara felt like crying but she held herself… It wasn’t as if they were never going to see each other, she would miss her friend dearly…but it was for the best. ‘I promise not to forget you’ Deborah whispered as she hugged her friend… ‘Remember me always ….sweet chocolate o’… Deborah – Episode Fifteen ‘Where’s Andy’ Mrs Briggas searched the table but her husband’s nephew wasn’t seated….that boy could make her worry…. ‘He left to fetch the girl’ Clara chipped in as she struggled to swallow the salty fried eggs… ‘this food is really bad’ she continued….they really needed a help. ‘Well if your cousin is right about the girl, then our troubles would soon be over’ her mother replied…. Ekanem Briggas observed Ani carefully….he’d been acting strange since the previous day, why was he so against the idea of a new maid? Was there something she didn’t know about? ‘Aniebiet what’s going on with you’ He couldn’t answer….he didn’t understand it himself and he was slowly turning to a stranger…. Something else had come up, Morganna had texted him…. She was pregnant… ‘ I’m fine mom, just stress….’ He picked at his food…. It only meant one thing, the wedding had to be done as fast as possible. ‘I got us tickets for the house of Moqums fashion show….it’s going down next week’ Seline announced excitedly…. ‘I already know that….am a model, remember’? Clara rolled her eyes…. ‘Not funny’ Seline ignored her….the little creep was quite annoying… ‘Wow…. I guess we are all going …Ani you should call Morganna’ Mrs Briggas suggested…. ‘Yes…you should call her, she’s deep into fashion and she would learn from this’ Seline smiled secretly. She adored her sister in-law to be. She was beautiful, classy and very intelligent, but it hurt her deeply that she couldn’t have her ….she was her brother’s. That thought ruined most of her mornings as she usually woke with Morganna on her mind, her beautiful face….her frame…everything about her was captivating. ‘I shall inform her’ Ani rose up and left the table. Deborah – Episode Fifteen Ani was restless, she was coming home soon, to haunt him again. No matter how much he forced her out of his mind, she still came back….he wondered briefly if she felt the same way about him. ‘To what end’? he grunted… Morganna was carrying his baby…that made her special. He was lost, totally lost in a sea of endless torment……he just couldn’t define it…he was going crazy. There was nothing he could do to stop it now, his mother had bought the whole idea and he had no other option but to adjust. Deborah – Episode Fifteen ‘Is that all’? Andy asked bewildered by the size of her luggage…. She carried a small box and held a polythene bag containing other things… Deborah nodded not quite understanding his question…. ‘Stay safe, make sure you call me’ Sara whispered and hugged her. ‘I will I promise’ went Deborah Andy watched the emotional display between the two and wondered where her family could be. He placed her belongings in the back of the car and motioned her to the front seat….she acted like a cat who was being ushered into a cage. After some minutes of driving …the fuel tank glittered red, that would slow him down. ‘So what did you have for breakfast’? he tried breaking the silence that hung over the car….gosh! was she this reserved… Deborah blinked back to reality, her mind was far off….she was thinking about him. Andy had spoken to her, she was sure about that but she hadn’t heard a word. She felt bad, that was kind of rude…but she couldn’t help it…she didn’t even know his name but he was always on her mind… ‘ I’m sorry I didn’t hear you’ she went. Andy observed her for a while; she seemed lost…like something disturbed her, if only she confided in him, he was ready to do anything. Anything that would bring a smile to her beautiful lips… ‘I asked if you have eaten? She licked her lips at the thought of food, she had been too nervous to think about it, now he asked, she sure felt hungry. ‘No’ she shook her head and looked down. He seemed like a nice person, he was! She decided but she still felt unsafe around him. Like he was a preactor of some sort… ‘Okay then, we will stop and eat briefly before heading home’ he turned into the nearest fuel station. ‘Thank you very much for all your kindness’ she didn’t know how to appreciate him enough… ‘Don’t mention it dear…..’ if only she had any idea about the way his heart cried out to her, the way his limbs went numb just staring into her eyes… Deborah – Episode Fifteen Fueling the car wasn’t that difficult a task, luckily….there was a restaurant around, so they quickly moved in…. ‘What would you like to eat’? he beckoned to the waiter… ‘Anything’ she felt different being in such an expensive place….this wasn’t her life…all what she knew was penury. This life he was trying to bring her in was a fool’s paradise which she wouldn’t revel in. ‘Anything is nothing’ he teased and for the first time she smiled….. ‘Okay, I would have tea and bread’ ‘Seriously’? this girl was damn funny…. ‘Sorry…I think I prefer your first choice…. ‘anything’ and they both laughe; for the first time she felt at ease in his presence, she was relaxed and that made him happier. He really wanted her to think of the best about him…he didn’t bite…. Just as the waiter approached, he was surprised to see her…. This time, she looked more confident as she took dedicated steps towards him…. ‘good morning Andy, I’m sure you remember me’ Morganna smiled…. There was something about Ani’s cousin….she had a deep talk with herself and she remembered everything but it was a long time ago. Would he remember that night? Did he remember her?

episode 16 Just as the waiter approached, he was surprised to see her…. This time, she looked more confident as she took dedicated steps towards him…. ‘good morning Andy, I’m sure you remember me’ Morganna smiled…. There was something about Ani’s cousin….she had a deep talk with herself and she remembered everything but it was a long time ago. He hadn’t acted like he did, that was why she had to get closer to him….if he remembered, then she had to take him out else he’d ruin everything about her wedding with Aniebiet. ‘Yes I remember you, you are my cousin’s fiancée’ he replied, did he have such a short memory? Deborah looked from the lady to Andy, she felt like vanishing….she quickly hid her rubber shoes underneath the table… She had never felt that inferior before, being a hawker had never bothered her, but setting her eyes on this woman made her feel undeserving of everything Andy had offered…. ‘is this your new catch’? Morganna lowered her long lashes to the girl with Andy…. She looked every bit a lowlife, and she smelled of cheap soap ….but she couldn’t deny the fact that she was very beautiful, for the first time in her life, Morganna felt threatened by another woman’s beauty… Very well, she was Andy’s girlfriend and that didn’t bother her at all…..another thought did, it disturbed her greatly…and this was it: what if Aniebiet got to see her? She was too attractive to be ignored by any sane man. ‘Excuse me’? Andy hated nosy people ‘Oh I’m sorry….can I have your number, so we keep in touch’? She requested nicely…. Deborah felt so out of place, she even lost her appetite… ‘No problem….’ Andy wasn’t comfortable with her request but he granted it anyway, he didn’t like Morganna ….and for no good reason. That confused him the more…. She took her leave and he turned back to face his angel…. Deborah – Episode Sixteen ‘ I’m sorry about that, that’s my cousin’s wife …..you’ve met him before…’ he shrugged and picked an apple from his plate…. She dropped the fork heavily….his wife? So he was married…. All her fantasies rode away on the clouds of the new found reality….she felt like screaming out her pain…her stomach began to rumble….all of her was in pain… But what right did she have to feel this way? She was a fool that lived in dreams…. ‘it’s like you don’t enjoy the food’ went Andy as she had slipped again…into her own world… Andy wondered if she was always that way, absent minded…putting up walls around her beyond his reach… ‘ I’m fine ….i enjoyed it but I think we should get going before your Aunt changes her mind’. Deborah – Episode Sixteen She felt glued to where she stood as she beheld the first wonder of her own world…. The mansion was the most exotic thing she had laid her eyes on since her existence…. ‘Wow….this is beautiful’ she breathed…. Andy smiled, if only she could be his, he would build a house better than that for her…‘you like what you see’? She nodded and straightened the ends of her skirt…she had to look presentable… These were obviously very rich people and she was lucky to be right here…Sara was right, if she had changed her mind about coming, she would’ve missed a lot. ‘Follow me’ Andy instructed as he carried her bags to the house….she was carried away by the ambience surrounding her… Deborah – Episode Sixteen Clara had already spotted them from her window….she couldn’t hold back her excitement….there was now a glint of hope for her brother, there was a chance he could fall for this girl and dump Morganna. ‘Who do we have here’? she yelled excitedly and quickly got into her clothes running past her mother and Selene who stared at her in wonder…. What had come over that girl? thought Selene ‘Mum you should be more firm on her…she’s losing it’ Selene complained….her younger sister was being over pampered and she displayed many undesirable patterns of behaviour. ‘Leave her be…you talk like you were a saint at her age’ Mrs Brigass laughed softly. She was sure her nephew had brought the ‘maid’ she had asked for….it was now time for assessment. ‘Come this way’ Clara took over from Andy who’d gone to drop her bags at the workers quarters. ‘thank you’ Deborah smiled at the girl she met the other day, a bit perturbed by her friendliness….she knew people of the higher class, they rarely mixed with her type. This made her more wary of the innocent girl who was only trying to make her feel comfortable. They arrived in a large room which was certainly the parlor… Debo paused as she observed the boundless display of wealth ….a large television was fixed on the wall….the settees were carved exquisitely…and different kinds of paintings hung on the wall… ‘This is beautiful’ she repeated the umpteenth time as she observed the chandeliers above the diningtable…. ‘Take your time’ Clara encouraged…. She spun round and found him staring at her… Those beautiful eyes….piercing deeply into the depth of her soul. They made her tremble inwardly, did he live here? then another image smiled….he was truly handsome…she wished again he was hers…but he was married… But where were the wedding pictures? That meant he stayed somewhere else with his wife….the thought of the woman brought cold sweat on her brows…. Although she looked very much an angel, she cast a fear on her at the restaurant ….a fear she couldn’t understand. She exuded an aura of danger… Clara observed the girl, the way her eyes were transfixed on her brother’s picture made her smile. If only Aniebiet would feel this same way. But something else bothered her, she had seen the way Andy gawked at the girl… ‘I see you are already getting yourself acquainted’ A stern female voice brought her back to reality…. She quickly followed the direction of the voice and turned….she bent her knees slightly as she greeted the woman. A younger woman came out few seconds later …. ‘Who is she’? Selene was surprised to see the cheaply dressed girl in their Parlor. ‘God help me’ she prayed and wondered why the woman stared at her that long and very silently. Ekanem Brigass was stunned….could this be Ateri? After so many years….what was she doing here? but that logic was irrational…if Ateri never died she would’ve been older than this young girl who stood before her…. She looked so much like Ateri, the girl who had rescued her from the claws of death. Like Ateri, she was tall and slender….her hair in its natural state was very long, her lips were full and pink and she had a peculiar golden brown complexion. But what was most attractive were her eyes… they were the brownest shade she’d ever seen… Ekanem’s shock was so palpable that she stood rooted in one spot, staring at Deborah as if she had seen a ghost. ‘Mom are you okay’? Selene wondered why her mother had suddenly grown so quiet and transfixed… end of Deborah – Episode Sixteen

episode 17 ‘What is your name’? Ekanem Briggas finally asked… ‘Deborah Ma’ she answered fearfully…was the woman not pleased with her? ‘Deborah…are your parents aware of this arrangement’? ‘Yes they are’ Debo nodded quickly and dropped her gaze… ‘I hope you cook well….I hate eating trash’ Selene asked and rose up not waiting for an answer….the girl had an effect on her…she was very pretty but lowclass, that didn’t really matter to her… ‘We shall discuss terms of payment later…allow Clara to show you around’ Ekanem smiled at the girl who looked scared to death… ‘Thank you ma’ Debora finally released the breath she had held since the woman walked in to the parlor…. ‘I think she likes you’ Clara whispered and led her away to another part of the house….it was quite strange, she knew her mother very well. Ekanem Briggas rarely smiled at the help….something wasn’t right…. ‘I pray so’ said Deborah and they both walked into the kitchen… Deborah – Episode Seventeen ‘Mother, what really happened between you two’ Eno hadn’t seen her sister for days… ‘nothing happened….you know how stubborn Deborah can be when she makes up her mind’ her mother replied. She sounded cheerful on the outside but deep down she feared the worst, this was all her fault….what if something happened to her? She was never going to forgive herself… ‘Nothing happened? And you don’t even care about her whereabouts…you amaze me sometimes, you think this is part of discipline right?’ ‘Shut your mouth, you wayward child, look what you’ve brought upon yourself’ her mother cautioned…she was done tolerating Eno… ‘Are you even sure you gave birth to us? Because if you did…you would be more concerned with Deborah’s wellbeing’ she hissed furiously and walked out on her mother… She had her own problems, they were right. Her family was right, she had brought this upon herself and she had to fix it… ‘God take all this pain away’ she sobbed…Eno had hit a nerve…her words cut her deep and reminded her of the past…and the secret which haunted her everyday… The secret she would die with….she was desperate back then but the sins of the past were to be paid for, forever, as long as one lived. Her daughter was right, she hadn’t cared enough… She needed to speak to Sara, that was the only friend Deborah had….she trusted her instinct…Deborah was definitely lodging with her friend… Deborah – Episode Seventeen She walked carefully into the kitchen filled with anxiety…she hadn’t slept much, still trying to adjust to the new environment. It was unbelievable, it was like her luck had changed overnight…but it was real… ‘so real’ she felt the fine ceramic plates that lay on the cabinet…she had been introduced to two other girls…but they seemed unfriendly for whatever reason…she wasn’t bothered either, she was used to that kind of treatment. A roster had been drawn up with immediate effect and she was to handle the culinary duties for that week….she hoped to please her boss who had acted strangely earlier… She was still curious about him….but there was no one she could talk to…she desired to see him… ‘Good morning Teju’ she greeted one of the girls who had just walked in… ‘Morning’ she replied tightly wearing a big frown…. That was going to be difficult….staying with these people…. ‘So can you tell me how madam likes her breakfast and other meals’? Teju paused and assessed the new girl for a while….she didn’t like her…and she had seen the way Clara warmed up to her…who did she think she was anyway? ‘You should’ve asked madam yourself…excuse me’ ‘ I’m sorry, have I offended you in any way’? she couldn’t bear facing another set of enemies here…for God’s sake she had just begun! Teju hissed and walked out of the kitchen…. She had enough of maids who tried to rub shoulders with the Briggas family; that wasn’t her only problem, she had admired Andy for a very longtime and he seemed not to notice her, instead he went for that stinky Jessica. ‘Served her right’ the untimely dismissal of Jessica had brought her great pleasure…she was the one behind the whole thing…she had orchestrated it all. Jessica had been a naïve fool who’d confided in her for every relationship advice and she was stupid enough to let her in on the affair she was having with Andy. Teju smiled mischievously….she was a master planner….that night she’d asked Jessica to take a bolder step by inviting Andy to her room….it was a trap, a big one…and that was how Mrs Briggas caught them red handed. ‘Why are you smiling’? the drycleaner asked…. she had lived in this house for seven years, never for once did she have any room in her heart for Tejuola. She was a very arrogant and malevolent being….but she was too scared to go against her as that would mean drawing the battle line. Oge became more afraid after Teju manipulated Jessica to make that mistake which had caused her to lose favor before their boss. ‘ I’m thinking about that new girl’ Teju replied… ‘Deborah? What has she done to you’? Oge dropped the buckets she held, ready to listen….she knew about the new girl…she wasn’t overly friendly towards her…being a reserved person and a closet introvert, she just exchanged greetings with Deborah. ‘I feel there’s something off about her… I don’t like her’ Teju replied…. ‘That’s too early for you to decide’ Oge was amazed… ‘I think she’s dating Andy but am not too sure…. I would watch her very closely as from today’ ‘You are not her boss anyway, so your opinion about her doesn’t count’ said Oge as she quickly resumed her duties…. ‘You think’? Teju eyed the foolish girl who’d just walked out on her…. Deborah – Episode Seventeen ‘Good morning’ went Selene to Deborah as she walked into the kitchen….it’d been long she stepped her foot there… The aroma of tomato gravy and fried irish potatoes seduced her and she was carried away like one who had seen a Siren… Debora almost broke a bowl as she turned to see Clara’s elder sister…Selene…she seemed very unfriendly the other day? What was she doing there. ‘Good morning’ she stuttered….not knowing what else to say as the lady kept looking at her… ‘ I’m hungry’ Selene yawned and sat on a stool…. ‘ I’m so sorry, in the next few minutes I’ll be done’ she turned and faced the pan feeling a little nervous…praying her cooking would be appreciated and she aimed to please the boss. ‘Okay…I’ll wait’ Selene grabbed a cup and poured herself some juice from the fridge….she hadn’t gulped half the glass when her eyes strayed to the maid’s legs…. Her legs were full and creamy…her eyes moved up again, she had beautiful hips …then her eyes rested on her chest, the two round mounds that were up there…. ‘Excuse me’ went Deborah wondering why the lady was starring at her for that long… people were really strange over here…. ‘Oh am sorry….’ Selene coughed and made way for her…. ‘she’s so damn cute’ Selene breathed….she couldn’t believe herself…she had never done this before, going after a maid….they were mostly dirty and smelly and below her class…but Debbie, as she had chosen to call her, was more than beautiful. Deborah – Episode Seventeen ‘You came in late’ his mother had observed the hour he returned from work…. ‘Yes, I had much work to do’ Ani returned….he had decided to bury himself in work to distract himself from all that was happening around him…. There was Morganna and her pregnancy and the girl whom his mother had employed….he was losing it…. ‘Just don’t be a workaholic like your father’ she teased….her husband had chosen work over her several times… ‘Or your wife would suffer’ Andy walked in…. ‘Speaking of that…it’s been long Morganna visited’ Clara begun and met her brother’s icy stare…. ‘It’s too early for that ….’ Her mother cautioned… Their faces brightened as Deborah walked in with a large tray with Selene trailing closely behind…. ‘What’s that about’? Clara whispered to Andy, her sister had been acting weird since Debora’s arrival… ‘How about you mind your own business’ Andy winked and flashed Debora his cutest smile. She looked pale…like she was frightened out of her wits….

Her insides trembled and her hands suddenly went soft, she almost dropped the tray when shespotted him… he was so awesome to behold in his pajamas…. Their eyes locked together for a moment…one swift moment before he looked down and focused on the table top designs…. ‘good morning’ she greeted….it almost sounded like a whisper…. Not still able to make meaning out of all these….Mrs Briggas forced a smile…the girl still bothered her….the resemblance was too close…. Was she a ghost or something? Deborah – Episode Eighteen ‘Ateri…’ she called softly but forced her eyes shut….she was mistaken… ‘ I’m sorry, Debora good morning….hope you’re enjoying your stay’ Mrs Briggas continued… ‘what’s going on here’? Clara was forced to ask…. First, Selene just walked out of the kitchen when she rarely went there….and now her mother was smiling at a maid…. ‘ I’m surprised too’ Andy concurred… Their mother ignored them, she knew where they were coming from but nobody understood…. yes, she had told them the story severally, how she almost lost her life but was saved by a stranger… But they didn’t know that this new maid shared a strong resemblance with Ateri her savior…. Deborah nodded and lowered her eyes not knowing what else to say… She dropped the tray and walked out…. Deborah – Episode Eighteen Ani wasn’t able to look up till he was sure she was completely gone…. His heart had beat uncontrollably at her sight… She stirred something strong in him….her weak eyes made her more fragile this morning and he was fascinated by them, by her….he was curious… ‘Are you okay’? his cousin suddenly asked…. Andy was bothered by Ani’s behavior ….he had put up barriers all of a sudden…blocking everyone out. ‘ I’m fine’ he replied roughly…nobody understood him neither did they know the burden he carried… ‘Mom I am amazed’ Selene closed her eyes as she savored the food…. ‘Truly it’s delicious’ her mother replied….the girl was a wonderful cook…. ‘When I first saw her I didn’t think she could compete with Jessica but I think she actually beat her’ she gave her nephew a knowing look… ‘I guess that’s a ‘thank you’ from my dear aunt’ Andy teased….his angel was a good cook and he was proud she hadn’t disappointed him…. ‘Thank you’ Clara winked at him as she picked some chips from his plate… Deborah – Episode Eighteen Deborah sat on the floor and released her breath slowly…. She had to ask questions… he was married alright, but what was he doing here? ‘Get up ….you fool, you need to start working for lunch’ Teju had returned to the kitchen…. Deliberately she fetched all the chips in the pan and left….so Deborah could stay hungry… ‘Why are you doing that….that’s my share’? Deborah walked towards her but Teju was faster….she left immediately…. Frustration washed over her anew… frustration from Teju’s horrid behavior and what pressed her mind heavily…him… ‘Hi’ a voice called to her…. ‘Clara….you didn’t have to do that…you should’ve just called me’ she made to get the tray from Clara… ‘I can do this’ Clara dodged her and she laughed….she actually laughed!… ‘I like that’ Clara smiled at her but she was confused…. ‘You like what’? ‘That you just laughed’ she replied….she had noticed earlier the uncertainty that shone in her brown eyes… ‘I want you to be as free with me as possible cause I want us to be good friends’ she gestured to the stool beside her and Debora obliged…. ‘You have to know this about me, I don’t discriminate….so let down your guards’ she continued… Deborah was quiet all through as this was new for her, a rich girl trying to be friends with her? ‘Okay. I’ve heard you’ she returned Clara’s smile; ‘by the way, your food was delicious’ ‘Thank you’ Debora was glad her food tasted nice…. ‘So what would you make us for lunch’? she couldn’t wait to taste another meal from this beauty… ‘Let me see…moi-moi and stew’ she finally settled for that…that was her mother’s specialty, of which she was an assistant. ‘ I’m going shopping with Ani….what should I get you’? Debora was startled, ‘Nothing I’m fine’ ‘But you just agreed to be my friend’ Clara felt a bit hurt… ‘Ummm ….anything you get me, I will accept gladly …thanks’ she smiled… ‘Okay dear…have fun’… Unknown to them, Teju had been listening from outside…the girl was really getting on her nerves…Teju walked away feeling hot all over…. you are reading Deborah – Episode Eighteen ‘look who’s here’ Andy came into the kitchen leaned close to her… ‘Hi Andy, good afternoon’ she greeted and continued with her cooking… Teju who’d kept to herself the whole time was all smiles as she greeted Andy… ‘Hi….’ He replied simply…..he had never liked Teju; for one she was as unattractive as they came and Jessica had complained to him about her arrogance. ‘I thought you went shopping’ Debora asked…she was surprised to see him… ‘Me?’ he was glad she was now free with him… ‘Clara told me’ she continued… ‘She told you wrong…she was going with Ani not me’ he replied focusing on her slender fingers as they picked the bean seeds… ‘Ani?’ it sounded so much like ‘Andy’… ‘That’s her elder brother, my cousin…you know him’ Andy described as she looked confused earlier… ‘oh…’ her heart ached for his attention….but her head told her she was a fool… ‘can I help’? Andy teased as he grabbed a seat… Teju watched angrily this display of affection; here she was , doing all she could to get him on her side while he fawned over some stupid girl…. ‘Andy please leave…you’re distracting me….’ She begged softly…who knew she could be this free with him? ‘That’s harsh’ he winked as he felt his pocket for the phone that buzzed…he’d a message…he was quite sure of that…. ‘Excuse me…see you later’ he left for his room… ‘Prostitutes’ Teju hissed and left for the garden she had to prune…. ‘God help me’ Deborah prayed…she chose to ignore Teju’s statement….she didn’t have time for that …. you are reading Deborah – Episode Eighteen She had finally sent him a message….after the long wait, this was his opportunity to find out more….who was Morganna Esio and why did she look so familiar? ‘Hello darling’ Morganna typed… He rolled his eyes… ‘Hello Morganna…sup’? end of Deborah – Episode Eighteen To be continued tomorrow at 12noon Hi guys, yeah, yeah, yeah!! this episode was short. we will compensate with a longer episode tomorrow. We just had to stop at this point. So, Andy has stirred the nest. What would happen next? the next episodes take new turns that you likely never ever thought about.

episode 19 ‘Papilo how u dey na; these days u jus dey bone me’ Sara teased…. He hadn’t responded to her greetings since the day Debora walked in on them both… ‘Abeg jus dey your lane…my market no dey move’ he complained… ‘Ah…na for everybody side e dey happen, no be only you…cheer up! My guy’ she walked closer and tickled him…. ‘Una no dey shame for road’ one of the hawkers teased and they all burst out laughing… ‘Come Sara wey dat your friend….I never set my eyes for that girl for days now…’ the rest concurred… It was such an irony… when her friend was around, most of them hated her for no reason, and now she was gone they were interested in her whereabouts…. ‘una too dey do amebo….abeg make e end dia o’ she hissed and returned to her stand as she heard her phone ring… ‘Nawa o’ they jeered back at her… She hurried towards the phone…maybe Deborah had called her…she had promised to keep in touch…. As she walked closer, she noticed a woman… could that be Deborah’s mother? she almost retreated but the woman had already seen her. She didn’t want to get involved in this…what was she to say? She was going to be held at ransom… ‘Welcome mummy’ she smiled… ‘Sara thank you…where is your friend…?’ the woman was more frightened as she had carefully scanned the whole area but her daughter wasn’t present…. Sara bit her lip…she had to think about this carefully… ‘Mummy it’s a long story…but she is safe, that’s all she had asked me to tell you’ ‘What’s that supposed to mean’? could Deborah abandon her this way? No words from her…no calls… ‘ I’m really sorry but she would be terribly angry with me if I divulge any information concerning her….I feel she would make contact with you when she is ready’…. She felt like a devil….how could she have listened to her friend? But she knew Debora more than any other person…. Beneath her fragile exterior….she could be very determined and strong willed…and if she went against her wishes, that would be the end of their friendship… The woman sighed dejectedly and turned to leave…Sara couldn’t bear this… ‘Mummy please take this and buy yourself a drink’ she offered the woman some of her money… ‘I don’t need your pity…you’re obviously feeling guilty for your cruelty….whenever you get in touch with my daughter, tell her to come back home…I still love her’. ‘ I’m really sorry’ Sara cried out… but the woman was already far away… Deborah – Episode Nineteen Selene had decided to join her siblings for the shopping…. She had something up her sleeves. The new maid was too attractive to be ignored….she had her plans…and she knew what swayed girls like her…they were moved by gifts… There was no time to waste…no time for endless pursuit…she was going for it… ‘tell me more about her’ she beckoned on Clara who stared at her shockingly… ‘Why should I’ her sister was really weird…. Selene never interacted with domestic workers…something fishy was going on…. Her brother was really quiet like something bad had happened to him, ignoring Selene she turned and faced him…‘what’s going on bro’? Selene hissed angrily… their mother had spoilt Clarabella…she had no courtesy whatever… ‘you are such a pig’ ‘well if am a pig…you are my sister…therefore an elder sister of a baby pig, is a big fat pig’ she returned in the same pace… Ani couldn’t help but laugh…. Seriously his sisters needed to take the chill pill… going shopping was an idea to get his mind off some things…and here they were fighting because of the same person he was running from. ‘ Ani, you support her’? Selene’s temper could burn a house down… ‘I think you’re overreacting sister mine…’ he answered … ‘Overreacting? This fool just insulted me and you call it overreacting’? she rolled her eyes at the insolence… ‘Hello … I’m still in the car’ Clara called out to her but Ani’s eyes silenced her…. ‘But I think Clara was right…you rarely mix with people like that…so it’s kinda weird…forgive me but I don’t see any wrong’ he shrugged…. ‘Stop the car’ she yelled…she couldn’t take this no more… ‘We aren’t near the supermarket you know’? Clara teased…. ‘Did you hear me Ani’? She screamed louder this time and he was forced to bring the car to a stop. ‘Take care of yourself Selene and go get yourself some anger management skills’ he couldn’t stomach this…there was so much already in his plate… She sighed as he drove away…what had she been thinking? Well the only place she could chill out was at Morgana’s . you are reading Deborah – Episode Nineteen ‘that was actually rude Clara’ Ani cautioned her… he understood why she acted that way towards Selene…Selene was very arrogant and she cared less about others… ‘I know and i am sorry’ ‘Save that for your sister’ he concluded and they continued in silence. ‘What’s really bothering you…talk to me …I am your sweet sister’ she pleaded… ‘I can’t tell you right now…am still confused about it’… he knew what he felt but he wasn’t sure, it couldn’t be… ‘Alright if you say so’ …. ‘You can do me a favor….tell me about the new maid….I am equally curious’ Clara smiled sweetly…wasn’t this just wonderful? ‘I don’t really know much bro but from what Andy told me…she’s trying to help out her family, that’s why she needed the job so badly…she’s nice and friendly’ she shrugged….Debora wasn’t totally free with her… ‘That’s too little…you should get closer to her you know’ Ani tried sounding neutral to her charms…he didn’t want Clara or any other person to get suspicious. ‘Well that’s why I followed you for shopping… I wanna buy her a little gift’ Ani rolled his eyes….Clara was a very smart girl; she was probably out of pocket money and decided to cling to him for support… ‘What’? she questioned the way he looked at her… ‘Nothing’ he smiled…girls were tricksters of their own making… ‘I have my own cash’ she screamed and brought out her purse… ‘Hmmm, what do you think she would like’? he asked….he wanted to buy her something beautiful that would match the color of her eyes… ‘Are you taking my order’? Clara coughed…why would he do something like that, if he didn’t feel any attraction towards her… ‘I guess that’s a thank you’! he replied. ‘What’s her name again’? ‘Deborah’ Clara winked….her plans were falling in place.

episode 20 She had finally sent him a message….after the long wait, this was his opportunity to find out more….who was Morganna Esio and why did she look so familiar? ‘Hello darling’ Morganna typed… Andy rolled his eyes… ‘Hello Morganna…sup’? ‘Have we met before’? she typed…. ‘Nope…why is that’? Andy replied…. ‘You look very familiar’….she continued… ‘Wow….honestly I don’t think we’ve met dear’ ‘Ok, I have to go now’ she quickly dropped her phone as she spotted Selene … Deborah – Episode Twenty She felt a bit of relief….or was he playing her? But he didn’t act like he remembered anything, she would keep her fingers crossed. ‘Hi babe’ she called to Selene… ‘Dear how you doing’? she embraced Morganna… ‘ I’m fine love… I have so much to tell you’ Morganna began….she had to play her game fast… ‘Wow I’m all ears…’ Selene eyed her room…the girl had a good taste in fine things… ‘What brings you here? you haven’t visited for a very long time’ Morganna observed… ‘well…I missed you’ Selene hugged her again but her friend didn’t return the hug… ‘Why the face Morganna’? ‘You are lying Selene and you know that’ She gave up…throwing her hands in the air, she explained how annoying her kid sister could be… Morganna wasn’t surprised, I can totally relate to that…but she would grow up eventually, give her time’… Clara hadn’t been rude to her no, but she gave her signals that she didn’t like her either. Morganna had wondered several times, why the girl hated her… ‘So what gist do you have for me’ Selene gulped the brandy offered her… ‘ I’m pregnant’ Morganna announced proudly… Selene almost dropped the glass in shock….wow! that would move their wedding plans faster… ‘Congratulations…have you told my bro and mom’? ‘Yes I’ve only told Ani…I don’t know if it’s a good idea for me to tell your mother’ she wondered… ‘Of course she’d be so thrilled’ … Selene now understood why Ani had been acting strange…wasn’t he happy about the whole marriage thing? ‘I have to go Morganna…I wanted getting something from blue mountains, the latest jewelry shop’ ‘that’s nice…what’s the jewelry for, you already have enough’ ‘For someone special’ Selene winked … Yes, though she was a maid, she was special… ‘By the way you should drop over the house…been a while’ ‘Okay Selene…what if we leave together? Your bro isn’t picking his calls’ Deborah – Episode Twenty ‘Who goes there’? Ekanem Briggas dropped her fashion magazine as her daughter in-law to be walked towards her with open arms… ‘You completely disappeared Morganna’ she welcomed her… ‘Mum I really missed you…I’ve been working on a case that has consumed my time… I’m sorry about that’ Morganna rubbed the woman’s shoulder. She loved this woman genuinely….it was difficult at first but she’d come love the woman as her own mother… Surprised Selene was alone; Ekanem inquired about her other children… ‘they’re still shopping I guess’ she answered her mother… ‘Did you guys fight?’ the woman was constantly disappointed at her grown up children but she wasn’t in the mood for this… ‘Teju’! she called one of her maids…who came hurrying like a squirrel… ‘Tell Ateri to fix something up for us’….she bit her lip realizing her mistake… ‘Deborah I mean’… Selene gazed at her mother ….this was the third time she was mentioning that name? What was that about? Just then, Ani drove in with Clara….they had spent more time that he’d expected…Clara was very choosy… ‘Here comes the witch’ Clara sighed as she walked towards the trio… Ani fingered the floral dress he’d bought her… he hoped she would like it… but he’d warned Clara expressively not to divulge the fact that it was him who’d bought the dress… he didn’t want no issues… ‘Good afternoon mother’ he kissed her and walked towards his bride to be… She smiled …eagerly waiting for her own kiss… Ani didn’t know what had come over him but he wasn’t in the mood for any sort of romance… ‘Let me take a shower, would be right back’ he dropped the dress with his sister and left… Morganna felt hurt he’d ignored her that way…he’d been acting very different for days now and she blamed it all on work…maybe it was stress but something was definitely not right with his behavior… ‘so what did you guys buy’? Selene glared at her sister angrily… Surprisingly she gave a polite reply this time around… ‘Many things and a dress for Debora’ ‘A dress for Deborah’? Mrs Briggas was amazed at her daughter’s generosity Selene rolled her eyes, her mother was definitely thrilled by the idea which was quite disturbing… Mrs Briggas never sanctioned any dealings between her children or family members with her domestic staff….but here she was acting all jelly at the mention of the new maid… ‘Who’s Deborah’? Morganna was lost; the name had been mentioned quite a few times…it was a really long time since she’d visited the family… ‘Debbie is our new maid’ Selene answered….hoping her plans would work…she was so beautiful… ‘Oh here she comes’ Mrs Briggas beckoned to the young girl who always looked nervous…she didn’t blame her, her tough exterior frightened many people… ‘Good afternoon’ Deborah greeted, meeting the cold eyes of Ani’s wife…she stared at her with so much hatred…. She averted her eyes quickly and focused on setting the table… ‘Oh…I see’ Morgana feigned surprise ….but they’d met before…so she was the new maid…. ‘your food smells nice…I bought you a dress’ Clara chattered…. Deborah smiled and her dimples appeared….so she really meant to buy her a gift? ‘Thank you very much’ she smiled and got the parcel… ‘You cook well’ Mrs Briggas complimented …. Morgana lowered her lashes and assessed the girl…. She was incredibly beautiful…what if Ani fell for her charms; that was a huge possibility… Her appetite fled as more possible scenarios filtered her brain…she feared greatly, worse still Mrs Briggas seemed completely taken in by the maid… She had to do something…. ‘Are you okay’? Mrs Briggas was worried about the look on Morganna’s face…she looked unhappy…. ‘ I’m fine….’ She stuttered … ‘Don’t you think it is time you told her’? Selene whispered… ‘Told me what’? her mother was scared…had something bad happened… ‘I am a month gone’ she rubbed her palms together…. ‘Wow…unbelievable! Deborah get glasses and a bottle of my favorite wine’ she turned towards Morganna….this was going to be awesome! Her plans had worked… ‘Soon I’m going to be a grandmother’ the woman whirled around singing songs of joy… ‘excuse me’ Clara eyed Morganna suspiciously and left…. Her plans had failed… ‘Call your elder Brother for me’ her mother was too enthralled by this good news… Deborah – Episode Twenty ‘What’s the noise for’ Andy peered out….rubbing his face as the loud laughter had awoken him… He saw Morganna…something was up, he got dressed quickly and left for the kitchen… he had just come out of a dream about Deborah… He smiled to himself as he climbed down the stairs….she now stalked his dreams…was he in love? He was still confused… but now he’d dreamt of her, now his thoughts revolved round her, he knew it…what he’d been scared to admit… he had real feelings for her… ‘What’s with the grin’ Clara felt pissed at the news…her brother was definitely trapped….she was now sure… ‘ I’m in love baby cousin’ he grinned wider… she ignored him and left for Ani’s room… ‘Whatever’ guessing she was in a mood…. He increased his steps as he heard an argument in the kitchen… ‘Why are you this mean….i don’t remember offending you in any way’ Deborah was upset…Teju had refused giving her directions to the cellar amidst her begging… ‘Why don’t you ask Andy your boyfriend to show you the way’ she hissed and walked away… This was too much for her… she broke down unaware of Andy’s presence…. ‘Why are you crying darling’? he drew her near him…. She wiped her face with her hands…he couldn’t see her this way… ‘I need to take some wine to your aunt…I don’t know where it’s kept’… ‘Is that what the argument was about’? he rubbed her hands gently…. She nodded and looked away from him… ‘Follow me’ Deborah – Episode Twenty ‘What’s going on downstairs’? Ani stared intently as his mother danced and screamed atop her voice… ‘well your wife is pregnant’ Clara answered unable to look at him…Why did he have to marry her? ‘Mother wants you in the garden’ she closed the door loudly behind him…. Ani sighed and braced himself up. He was a man of his word; he had promised to be by her side, he couldn’t go back now…his body was stuck with Morganna but his soul was somewhere else… How would he explain that? He hated himself more for going along with his mother’s wishes… He had loved Morganna once…but his heart was somewhere else… and he would die with his feelings for her… He got downstairs in time to catch up with the toast….then he saw Deborah, she looked more fragile than before with those same eyes drawing him near… Their eyes met again…. He felt his blood boil…she was intoxicating him with desires….. ‘Ani have a glass’ Morganna offered… but he wasn’t hearing her… his eyes were locked with the maid’s… With full determination, Deborah looked away and left for the kitchen…Andy had been waiting for her… Ani ran his fingers through his hair… this was going to be difficult for him… His mother hadn’t noticed it neither did Selene… they were drowned in the heat of that moment… but Morganna had seen the look that passed between the two… She swallowed the wine and winced as its sour taste slapped her cheeks… she had to act her part… no one could take Ani away from her… he was hers’ and nobody could change that…. That maid really had the nerve….looking all innocent and harmless…but she would beat her to her game… ‘We need to hurry with the wedding plans’ Mrs Briggas suggested… she had about twenty wedding gown designs that would fit Morganna perfectly… ‘I agree’ Ani forced a smile and kissed Morganna’s fingers…this thrilled her greatly … ‘ I also think it would be wise for Morganna to move in with us…so the baby can bond effectively with her parents’ Ekanem was so excited she would be having a grandchild… ‘Mummy how do you know it’s a girl’? Selene was amazed at her mother; when had she become a fortune teller? ‘I just know it’s a girl’ Morganna smiled and leaned on Ani’s shoulder, who rubbed her belly in turn… ‘Are you sure about moving in’? he asked, not liking the idea; he needed time to figure out his feelings… ‘Yes am very sure…don’t you want me here?’ ‘Of course I do….when you’re ready just come in…’ Morgana closed her eyes and imagined that day he would finally be hers… for now, she had many battles to fight… the greatest was protecting her secret. She prayed earnestly that Andy had been honest about not remembering anything about her…. end of Deborah – Episode Twenty

episode 21 Andy watched as she got closer…she was breathtaking, even in that state… tendrils of brown hair fell on the side of her face… Trickles of sweat glided down her face….but she still was attractive…. Deborah looked away as she entered the kitchen, uncomfortable by the way Andy gazed at her; heaven knows what went on through his mind… Something else bothered her… were they really married? She really needed to ask but she felt foolish, so she dismissed the notion… ‘ I’m hungry’ Andy rubbed his belly, he’d had a long sleep dreaming about her… ‘okay… should I serve you here or the dining’? she made for some plates… ‘Nope, my bedroom…I like to eat there’ he lowered his voice and walked closer to her… His bedroom? This guy was obviously up to something… He saw the look on her face…raw fright! He said that deliberately… he loved it when she looked afraid…it made her look more beautiful, more fragile and he wanted to be her only protector… ‘ I’m kidding…your thoughts are in the gutter’ he waved his hands… ‘hmmm’ she swallowed not liking his jokes… She offered him the tray, expecting him to leave…he settled on the stool next to her… ‘Loosen up…I’ve told you many times I can’t hurt you in any way’ he offered her some food…it really tasted good…he was glad she had proved herself worthy before his aunt… She declined…was he flirting with her? ‘Andy, I have to go clean out the store…see you later’ she needed to be alone…to think; she had to clear her head… ‘No…stay with me, I enjoy your company’ he dragged her gently. Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-One Teju watched angrily the show of love between the lovers… she had to do something, she had to tell someone… Deborah was a fool and needed to be taught a lesson… A shadow passed her and she turned to find Selene gazing at her with disgust, Teju lowered her eyes to the ground… ‘What are you doing here? we need fresh glasses and you’re fooling around’? for no particular reason, Selene had strong aversion for this maid in particular…one, she was ugly and very undesirable…she looked a bit troublesome and lazy… ‘Deborah is in charge of the dishes this week but she’s busy with other things’ Teju stressed the last word… ‘what are you trying to say’? Selene narrowed her eyes… ‘She’s in the kitchen with Brother Andy…’ It took a while for the words to make meaning to Selene…immediately it did, she almost screamed the roof off with her shouting… Andy couldn’t lure the girl away from her…nobody could…Debbie was hers for the keeping… Teju felt victorious…that would keep her low for a while…Selene was a vicious tigress when she was angry… ‘Andy’!!!! Selene screamed as she forced the door open… ‘Where is she’? Selene was surprised… Debbie wasn’t with Andy, that fool had told her lies… ‘Who? And what’s that about’? why did she have to scream his name, he wasn’t deaf yet… ‘Deborah’ Selene answered coolly… ‘Clara called her upstairs’ ‘I hope so’ she gave her cousin that knowing look… ‘What now’? he rolled his eyes…his family never ceased to amaze him… Selene ignored him; she didn’t trust Andy around girls especially pretty girls…Teju was going to pay for her lies… Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-One ‘You look troubled, is something wrong’? Oge walked into the kitchen and found Deborah lost in thoughts. ‘Uhmmm, I’m fine’ she lied. She couldn’t stop thinking about Ani and his wife, it felt so wrong to desire a married man but she couldn’t help herself. Many thoughts had crossed her mind, she had thought of returning to the house, as she could no longer face him, but what about Eno? What about her mother? They needed this money to survive. Deep down she couldn’t blame her mother much for having an affair with the landlord. Whatever she had done, she’d done to provide shelter and food for her kids, she had realized she was being foolhardy and difficult. ‘I’m really sorry about the way Teju treats you, she’s always rude and angry, don’t feel bad okay’? said Oge offering her a smile. ‘Thanks Oge’ Deborah smiled. Oge reminded her of Sara her best friend, whom she had not spoken with in a while. ‘I am really happy for Madam’s son, his fiancée is pregnant and wedding plans are in motion, I can’t wait to witness their wedding’ Oge was in the mood to gossip. ‘Wedding? I thought they were married’ Deborah was surprised. ‘No, they were just engaged, but now she’s pregnant, they will definitely get married’ Oge replied. ‘Oh’ Deborah pressed on her left palm to calm her beating chest. She was trapped by a new wave of emotion, how could she think about one person all the time when she knew next to nothing about him? Butterflies danced in her stomach and she was repulsed by the feeling of not being able to control her thoughts. ‘I see, you two have nothing better doing than gossiping’ said Teju who had just walked into the kitchen angrily. ‘I was just about leaving’ Oge forced a smile and scurried off. ‘And you? What are you up to’? Teju eyed Deborah disgustingly. ‘Waiting to serve dinner’ Debora sighed and rose to her feet. She knew girls like Teju, troublesome and overconfident, she made a mental note to avoid the girl or anything that had semblance to her. She had enough on her plate already. Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-One ‘How do you feel now? Having knocked your baby up? I bet she’s going to give birth to a son’ Andy teased his cousin as they all gathered for dinner. ‘No Andy, I want a beautiful baby girl, just like Seline here, so I could rub her head and play with her ribbons’ Morganna winked and they all burst out laughing. ‘Are you okay’? Clara whispered to Ani, she knew when her brother was happy, and when he was down. She had noticed a change in him, even when he laughed, his eyes lacked their sparkle and it only confirmed her fears, he wasn’t ready for this marriage. ‘I am fine, where’s mother’? Ani changed the subject; he couldn’t have his little sister thinking about him. ‘She’s on a call with dad and may not join us for dinner, you know how those two could get’ Clara rolled her eyes. Her parents were romantics, it surprised her, the way they loved each other even after so many years. ‘I know someone who feels like getting married right now’ Andy winked. ‘Don’t even go there, I’m not prepared to marry now, I have a modeling career to build, I wish to be like Oluchi Orland, she’s so pretty’ Clara laughed knowing he referred to her. ‘About your modeling Clara, I heard from Seline you’d be modeling for House of Moqums’ Morganna started. ‘Yes, Miss Inem is a very nice person and I’d do anything to promote her brand’ Clara smiled and caught her brother frowning. Did she say something bad? ‘She was once my friend you know, I could call in special favors for you’ Morganna said. Inem had betrayed her by sleeping with Ani and she would pay her back soon. ‘Thanks but I want to earn my progress, the show is set for tomorrow, I can’t wait, I’m so excited’ Clara beamed. ‘Just don’t fall on stage in your heels’ Seline scoffed and provoked another round of laughter. Suddenly, they all grew quiet as she stepped into the dining room with a tray filled with steaming bowls of pepper soup, all eyes were focused on her, some full of pure admiration, some of raw lust and others of envy and unexplained hatred. ‘Good evening’ went Deborah and dropped the tray with shaky hands. She couldn’t face him but she had this feeling he was staring at her, but she wouldn’t dare look at him. ‘How are you doing Deborah’ Clara pinched her and she smiled. ‘I’m fine’ Debora whispered and was about leaving when Andy dragged her back. ‘Fine girl, didn’t you see me? Why do you look so afraid’? he caressed her face and she blushed. ‘I…I have something doing in the kitchen’ Debora replied and he let go of her. ‘Debora…’ Seline’s stern voice stopped her. ‘Yes Ma’ she moved towards her. ‘Go to my room and wait for me, I want to show you something’ Seline couldn’t hold her desires down anymore, she needed to show her what love meant. ‘Your room? Why would you send a maid to your room’? Morganna scoffed and met Clara’s and Andy’s angry gazes, Ani’s face was neutral. ‘Okay Ma’ Debora bent her knee and rushed to Selene’s room, minutes later, Selene excused herself and left for her room. ‘It’s about to go down’ Clara grinned. ‘Seline is acting weird, I’ve never seen her buy a maid stuff’ Andy shrugged. ‘Me too’ Ani replied quietly. He was filled with jealousy and desire, he wondered if the girl liked his cousin ; that bothered him and got him more confused. ‘Guys, I need your advice, I like Deborah so much, I’ve never felt this way towards a woman, but I don’t want your mum to have ill feelings about it, just like what happened with Jessica. This one is totally different, I want something serious with her’ Andy felt relieved as he laid his intentions before them. ‘I don’t know…’ Clara quickly gulped some water. This was what she feared, she knew her brother loved Debora though he acted indifferent, now Andy was coming forward, she feared a clash between them. ‘A maid? How could you even consider that’? Morganna rolled her eyes then later excused herself to receive a call. ‘Ani, you should really talk to your future wife, I don’t like the way she reasons’ Andy was offended. ‘I’m sorry bro, so have you told the girl about your feelings yet? What’s her response’? Ani asked eagerly. ‘I have not, I’m scared she’d reject me’ Andy pushed his plate away as his appetite fled. ‘Scared? But you were never scared of women’ Ani smirked. ‘I’m serious Ani, what if you help me talk to her’? Andy begged. ‘Me? What makes you think I can do the magic’? Ani laughed. He’d never really spoken to the girl; he wondered what staring into her brown eyes would be like. ‘Please for the sake of our brotherhood, and you should do this when I’m not around’ Andy added. ‘Andy are you sure that’s a good idea’? Clara was skeptical. ‘Yes it is’ Andy replied. ‘Alright I’ll try, I’m not promising anything’ Ani replied coolly. Deep down, he was very sad. He couldn’t lie to himself anymore, he was in love with this girl, so was Andy and he didn’t ever want to hurt his cousin. ‘So what were you guys talking about’? Morganna returned. She had just ensured that her plans for the House of Moqums fashion exhibition wouldn’t fail, everything was in place. ‘Nothing’ Ani replied firmly. end of Deborah – Episode Twenty-One

episode 22 She wondered why Seline had asked to see her; she prayed she had not done anything to offend her in any way. ‘Go in, don’t be nervous, I don’t bite’ Seline smiled and pushed her gently into the room. ‘Okay’ Deborah replied coolly. ‘Have a seat’ Seline gestured with her hands and Deborah got more confused, Seline was just like Morganna, they looked down on people, how could she ask her to sit on her glorious bed? ‘I know you’re surprised, I can read you like a book, but I really mean no harm’ Seline joined her in the bed. Deborah opened her mouth to speak, but she was speechless as no words came out, she had nothing to say. ‘I like you very much, I bought you a little gift, I hope you’ll like it’ Seline gave her the wrapped little box. ‘Thank you very much’ Debora smiled. She’d been receiving gifts since she stepped into the Briggas mansion, maybe this was a sign from God, that this house was her destiny. ‘Be nice, give me a peck to show appreciation’ Seline’s voice dropped low and seductive, lust flashed in her eyes but Debora was too naïve to see this. ‘O..okay’ she stuttered, and bent to peck Selene, what was a peck after all? Selene was well travelled from what she’d learnt from the other maids, she must have learnt pecking as a white man’s culture. Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Two ‘I love you so much’ said Selene and grabbed her breasts as Deborah’s lips pressed softly into her cheeks. Deborah froze, goose pimples came out from their hiding place and covered her brown skin in shock, as she realized Selene’s true nature. ‘What is it? am I too rough? Should I take it slow’? Selene was already getting out of her clothes. ‘No! I’m sorry, I don’t do this, this is not who I am, thanks for your gift’ Deborah dropped the parcel and rushed out of the room. Selene scoffed, did that just happen? How could a dirty maid like that reject her advances, Deborah had just made the biggest mistake of her life. Her days in the mansion was over, no one stepped on Selene’s toes and left scot free. Deborah was so shaken from her encounter with Selene, that she forgot to notice Teju who’d been eavesdropping. She knew Selene would strike back, so she had to be prepared for the worst. ‘Who’s there’? Selene called irritably. ‘It’s me madam, Teju, I have something to tell you’ Teju braced herself up, she had known Selene’s sexual orientation since she stepped into the Briggas Mansion, but she’d kept quiet about it. She’d been busy, cleaning all the rooms, when she’d found erotic lesbian magazines in Selene’s room and that sold her out. ‘What do you want bitch’? Selene yelled angrily at her. ‘I..i want you’ Teju stammered, praying Selene wouldn’t turn her down, with Selene’s help, Deborah was going to be thrown out of the house like a common thief. ‘Excuse me? Get out of my room’ Selene was more infuriated by her ugly face. ‘I want you’ Teju decided to be bold, so she quickly unbuttoned her clothes and her breasts fell out, just the sight of her perky breasts ignited a fire in Selene and she couldn’t resist it. ‘Are you sure about this’? Selene asked ‘Yes’ Teju nodded and planted a soft kiss on her lips. Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Two Eno had tried reaching out to Debora’s friend severally, but all to no avail, she wondered where her sister was. Since Debora left home, she had noticed that her mother had not been herself and that scared her even more. ‘Mother, please tell me what happened between you and sister Deborah? Be honest with me’ Eno confronted her mother. ‘It’s all your fault Eno, if you had been a good child, I would never have compromised like I did, but no, you went sleeping around, just leave me to my sorrow’ the woman sobbed. Deborah was the best child anyone could pray for, she was obedient and compassionate and chaste, but she’d failed her daughter when she slept with the landlord. ‘You’re digressing Mother, why do I have a feeling you’ve done something bad yourself? I hope the rumors I’ve heard aren’t true’ she folded her arms. ‘What rumors, what rumors eh? Why do you want to kill me before my time’ the woman rose up and gave her daughter a slap. ‘That you’re sleeping with the landlord’ Eno blurted out in tears. ‘Yes I am sleeping with him, are you satisfied now? Are you happy that I am as stained as you are? That’s the reason your sister left the house, so go ahead, laugh at me, do whatever you want’ tears fell on her cheeks. ‘I did not mean it that way mother, I am sorry, all I want is for my sister to come home, I’ve been a bad child, now I see the error in my ways’ Eno sobbed. ‘I too, I wish for Debora’s forgiveness, I have offended her in many ways, I wish I had told her the truth, I am such a bad mother’ she wept. ‘The truth? I don’t understand’ Eno gazed at her with eyes filled with questions. ‘Promise me that what I am about to tell you wouldn’t change the way you see Deborah and also promise to forgive me, I did what I had to do to save my face’ the woman inhaled deeply. Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Two ‘I promise’ said Eno wondering what this was all about. ‘After I got married to your father, we moved to Benue state where he worked for a while. I was barren for years and there was so much pressure from his family, that I give birth to a child else I be sent away. Your father was getting impatient too, I prayed and fasted, I visited many places in search of a child, but it seemed God had not heard my prayers. My husband, your father, later travelled home for a job on the sea which was to last for a year.’ She paused and broke into sobs. ‘It’s okay mother, please don’t cry, tell me everything, I promise to stand by you’ Eno comforted her. ‘I stole her baby, I ran away with her newborn baby, I stole Ateri’s baby’ the woman cried. ‘I don’t understand, who is Ateri?’ Eno tried to get the truth. ‘She was my neighbor, a wayward young girl who’d committed several abortions, so she’d given birth and I got wind of it, I stole the baby when she gave me to hold while she left for the market. That was my chance, so I took it and returned home with the child, your father believed my lies as I made everything very convincing. We never returned to Benue, as things became bad for us financially, that baby I stole is Deborah’ she confessed leaving her daughter stunned. ‘Mum? You shouldn’t have stolen the girl’s baby, even though she was wayward, you had no right to judge her’ Eno rose to her feet angrily, wondering if she’d also been stolen. ‘Enobong, please don’t turn your back on me, you promised me your forgiveness’ the woman called to her. ‘Mother, I don’t know what to say, but I think Deborah deserves to know the truth before she hears it from someone else’ Eno shook her head in disappointment. ‘Please help me find your sister; I really need her forgiveness’ the woman sobbed in regret. ‘What you did mother was heartless and wicked; do you know what it means to have a child? How could you have stolen someone’s baby? Tell me the truth; did you give birth to me?’ Eno stared into her eyes. ‘Yes, I swear, you came out of my womb, I gave you life and nurtured you, don’t turn your back on me’ she begged. ‘Okay then. I have forgiven you, now we’ll have to find Deborah’ Eno rubbed her belly slowly, she’d thought of aborting the baby, but she decided to keep it. She was a changed person and she needed to do the right thing.

episode 23 Andy didn’t like the way Morganna had spoken to Debora, even though she was from a poor home, it didn’t make her less human or less special. His curiosity for Morganna increased. He was sure, he’d seen her somewhere and he was determined to find out. Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Three ‘Wake up sleepy Head, today is the day that Clarabella Brigass would be a runway model. How do you see this dress’? Clara swaggered into his room looking all coloured like some butterfly. ‘You look awful’ he said to her and she threw his pillow at him. ‘So are the others ready?’ Andy asked. They were all going for the show except Ani whose duty was to put in a good word for him concerning Deborah. ‘Yes, we are all ready, why are you still here anyway’? Clara asked. ‘I don’t know Cousin, I just feel I’ve met Morganna from somewhere, but I don’t seem to remember’ Andy said. ‘Please don’t tell me you had sex with her’ Clara prepared herself for the worst. ‘I don’t know, she’s oddly familiar, I just hope not’ Andy felt frustrated, why couldn’t he remember? ‘Oh my God, you’re not joking are you’? Clara rose to her feet. If Andy had slept with Morganna before, Ani had to be told and that meant disaster. ‘Yes, so what should I do? Should I ask her if we’ve met before’? Andy asked. ‘No, even if she remembers, she would deny, I don’t like her for my brother, I wish she wasn’t pregnant’ Clara sank into the bed. ‘That doesn’t solve my problem’ Andy shrugged. ‘Alright, I have an idea, I watched it in a movie, this may actually work, now close your eyes’ she snapped her fingers. To her surprise, he obeyed willingly. ‘They’re closed mistress’ Andy smiled wondering what she was up to. ‘Push out other thoughts from your mind, focus on Morganna Esio, focus on her pretty face, especially her eyes, eyes always tell the truth’ Clara instructed in a very still voice. He‘d closed his mind to other thoughts except that of Morganna, but there wasn’t no flash of memory, he was totally blank. ‘Anything yet?’ Clara asked hopefully, in the movies, there was always solution. ‘No, clearly, this isn’t working, now let’s run before we’re late for the show’ said Andy as he jumped out of bed. Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Three Morganna had returned to her house to prepare for the fashion show. Ani hadn’t told her he wouldn’t be showing up, that would’ve caused a quarrel. He was ready to help his cousin get this girl, Andy deserved some happiness. ‘Can I come in’? Someone rapped on his door. ‘I am fully covered mother’ he smiled knowing she was the one. ‘How are you doing love’ she caressed a side of his face and he kissed her hand. ‘Morning mum, I slept well, how are you’? he asked in return. ‘I am not fine, I had a terrible dream, I keep having these dreams. I spoke with your father about them and he suggested I told you first’ Ekanem Briggas sat on her son’s bed. ‘What dreams’? Ani raised his brows. He’d never seen his mother in that state, whatever was troubling her was big and he was prepared to find a solution. ‘It’s about Deborah, the new maid, she shares a strong resemblance with Ateri, the woman who rescued me from death many years back. Anytime I see her, I feel we have this strong connection and it scares me because the woman I speak about is dead’ Ekanem paused. ‘Ateri? Maybe it’s just resemblance’ his mother had told them of how she almost died from a car accident but Ateri had rescued her. ‘No, you don’t understand, even your father said this, it’s not a resemblance, she looks too much like her. I don’t know what to do, maybe I should send her away. I’m terrified’ Mrs Brigass was shaken. ‘Mum, please calm down, I would speak to this girl myself. When you get back from the show, we’ll talk about it okay? I promise to help you out’ Ani embraced her. ‘Thanks son’ she said felling relieved. ‘So about your wedding? Have you chosen your colours for the day? She returned to her old self. ‘Mum! Please hurry for your show’ Ani laughed knowing where she was headed. ‘Alright honey, see you when I’m back’ she said as she rushed out of the room. Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Three Selene joined the others in the car, sex with Teju had given her time to think on her revenge against Debora. She was going to plant her mother’s necklace in her bag and she would be labeled a thief and sent home disgracefully. ‘Good morning elder sis, you would age hurriedly if you keep wearing that ugly frown’ Clara teased her sister. ‘And if you mind your own business, you’ll live longer’ Selene scowled. She was in no mood to tease or laugh with anyone, Deborah had humiliated her and she had to pay for her actions. The hall where the fashion show was to be held was already jam-packed. Fashion designers, photographers, craft makers, models and fashion lovers trooped in their numbers for the show. ‘Are you nervous’? Mrs Briggas asked Clara who was going to walk on the runway for the first time. ‘I don’t know, but the crowd terrifies me’ Clara tried to steady herself as she stepped down from the car. ‘You’ll do just fine’ Andy assured her. ‘Here comes my favorite person’ Selene smiled as Morganna trotted towards them. ‘Morning everyone, I’m glad you could all make it, where’s Ani’? she asked. ‘He was busy with some stuff, I’m sorry he couldn’t make it’ Andy chipped in. It was his fault his cousin had not made it to the fashion show. ‘Oh, but he should have told me’ Morganna seemed disturbed; Ani had never acted that way with her. ‘I’m sure he’ll call, we’re getting late’ Selene reminded her of their purpose, so they all walked into the hall. The show was colorful and quite interesting, different fabrics and clothes were advertised, shoes, jewelry and cosmetics too. ‘That’s my baby girl’ Mrs Briggas clapped happily as Clara cat walked on the runway, she wore a mini floral dress designed by Inem herself and she was the last model for the day. ‘Proud of you cousin’ Andy fetched his phone and took a picture of her. ‘I never really liked fashion shows, but I give it to Inemesit, she rocks and she is a real talent’ Selene muttered to Morganna who’d been awkwardly quiet. ‘I agree’ Morganna finally spoke; it was time to pay her friend back for what she did to her. ‘Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen, I adore you all for coming out in your numbers to support me and this show. I am so grateful….’ Inemesit paused as the lights went off. ‘Whoa, poor wiring’ Andy snorted. The crowd became agitated as the hall was plunged into darkness for some minutes, then suddenly, the video monitors and the background projector came alive. People were initially taken aback by the video that played out, disbelief gave way to stun as they realized they were watching a very graphic sex tape. ‘Christ! What in God’s name is this’? Mrs Briggas rose to her feet disgusted by the video that had been played. ‘You’re such a bitch! Ho!’ some people yelled as they watched the video. ‘Oh my God’ Andy’s mouth fell wide. The woman in the video was Inemesit. Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Three He’d never been a shy type, asking a woman out was a game he enjoyed. It always started with the attraction, the interest, then the chase, it always all came to him easily. This time it was different, He had rehearsed the words he’d speak to her many times yet he wondered why he was so nervous. The signs were evident that he’d somehow fallen in love with Deborah, but there was nothing much he could do about it. Andy cared deeply for her, this was the first time he’d seen his cousin being so serious with someone and he couldn’t bear to ruin that. He stepped out of his room ready to go find her and speak to her, but the buzzing of his phone distracted him and he fetched the device. ‘Hello, Ani on the line’ the number was strange but he picked it anyway. ‘It’s me Ani, Inemesit, Morganna has ruined my life, she has ruined my career and for that I’ll pay her back in her evil coin’ the woman broke into sobs. ‘Inemesit? I don’t understand, what happened’? Ani was stunned by her outburst. He’d slept with Morganna’s best friend by mistake while on campus, but that was all there was to it, Morganna had forgiven him and forgiven her friend too. ‘Don’t worry, don’t tell her a word about this call, meet me at Crescent Moon Bar, there is something about your fiancée I should tell you before you take her to the altar’ Inem replied and brought the call to an end. Since Morganna had decided to play dirty, then dirty they would play. Ghen! Ghen! has Morganna gone too far? what secret is she hiding? Anyway, see you at noon tomorrow.

episode 24 ‘Don’t worry, don’t tell her a word about this call, meet me at Crescent Moon Bar, there is something about your fiancée I should tell you before you take her to the altar’ Inem replied and brought the call to an end. Since Morganna had decided to play dirty, then dirty they would play. ‘Women’ Ani rolled his eyes; he wondered what that was all about. He knew girls like Inem, desperate and mischievous and he wasn’t going to give her any audience, she probably heard he was getting married to Morganna that was why she called to lure him back to her bed. ‘Now we get to do business’ he winked at the mirror once more. Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Four Deborah had never really walked round the mansion; it was a huge place where one could easily get lost. Her encounter with Selene still haunted her like a bad dream, how could one be so perverted? She prayed and hoped Clara was nothing like her demented sister. She realized how happy she’d become since she came to the mansion, though his silence was killing her, she loved to be around him. Occasionally, when she was sure no one was around, she’d sneak into the living room and stared at his picture, Ani was a very handsome man. She heard it lightly, then it increased as she neared the garden, someone was crying. ‘Oge, are you okay’? she rushed to the girl’s side. ‘Debora, what are you doing here’? Oge wiped her face with the back of her palms. ‘Talk to me, what happened to your face’? Debora wondered who’d do something so hideous to another person. ‘Teju, she used up all my lotion and when I confronted her, she did this to my face, she’s so evil’ Oge cried. ‘I’m so sorry, where is she? She needs to be put in her place, why is she so evil’ indignation coursed through Debora, it was time to put Teju where she belonged. ‘I don’t know, but stay away from her, there’s something really dark and eerie about that girl and trust me, it’s more than just her ugliness’ Oge cried. ‘Why? But she hurt your face, we should teach her a lesson’ Debora was insistent. ‘No, let’s leave her for God, she was the reason behind Jessica’s sack, just forget her’ Oge replied. ‘No I won’t, she has to pay, which way did she go’? Debora asked and Oge pointed the direction with her hands. ‘Teju! Show yourself’ Deborah called angrily. Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Four She had never been to that area in the mansion, it was filled with broken balusters, rods and iron bars, but she wouldn’t turn back, Teju had stepped on her toes before, it was time to caution her. ‘I am here’ Teju appeared with a crooked smile and a club in the other hand, before Deborah could say another word, the club came crashing on her skull. ‘Time for you to go’ Teju smiled. Now nothing would stand between her and Andy, she knew Seline would be pleased; she couldn’t wait to teach the bitch a lesson. ‘Teju, I’m only doing this because of the money you promised me, please don’t kill her’ Oge rushed to the abandoned area. ‘Sure, I’ll pay you’ Teju replied. ‘Someone’s coming, take her and hide her somewhere’ Teju ordered Oge, she took a deep breath and was surprised to see Madam Ekanem’s son. ‘Good afternoon sir’ she bent her knee. ‘Afternoon, have you seen Deborah today? I’ve searched everywhere for her’ he asked. ‘No sir, maybe she went to buy something outside the mansion. Can I help you with something’? Teju asked nicely. ‘No, just tell her to meet me once she returns’ he said and left immediately. ‘Wow, I see you were getting many admirers, goodbye to them’ Teju smirked. Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Four The streets of Uyo were crowded with people and cars, the fashion show had come to an abrupt and scandalous end, most fashion designers left angrily with their fabrics and models. The news spread like wildfire about the woman who flaunted her own sex video without shame, even the hawkers were not left out of it. ‘Una don hear wetin happen’? Pappilo had gone to the hall were the show held to sell some stuff. ‘Amebo telephone wire, so the only thing wey you bring back nay eye talk abi? You see your life’? Sara hissed and the rest laughed. ‘Na real serious mata o, person act blue film for dia’ Papilo explained to them and they all looked shocked. ‘Una go excuse me small, I get small job wey I wan do’ he fetched his buzzing phone and shifted from the others. ‘Papillo! Papillo! Remember us in your kingdom o, e be like sey alert don enta your phone’ Sara called after him. She fell quiet for a while and wondered when her life as a hawker would end. Her friend was lucky to serve as a housekeeper, and they took good care of her. ‘No be Mama Sweet chocolate and Eno be dat’? one of the hawkers pointed towards Debora’s mother. ‘Chai, see gbege o, why u no tell me quick na? shoo’ Sara knew it was too late to run as the woman had sighted her. She didn’t know why Deborah was avoiding her own mother but she chose to stay out of it, one look at the woman’s face scared her and she knew she would betray her friend. ‘Good afternoon Ma’ Sara smiled as the woman reached her stand with Eno. ‘Save your breath Sara, please tell me where Deborah is, I need to see her right away, something urgent has come up’ the woman said. ‘You’ve been avoiding my calls, why Sara? What have we done to you? We haven’t set eyes on Deborah for some time now and you’re making it more difficult for us to see her’ Eno spoke with determination. ‘Okay, Deborah is safe, she begged me not to let you two know her whereabouts, it’s not really my fault, I had to keep the promise I made to her’ Sara explained. ‘Look here, I don’t care about your promise with my daughter; just take me to where she is right now’ the woman insisted. ‘Okay then, but I’ll have to call her employer first to know if it’s right we come’ Sara decided to call Andy. ‘Employer! So she has a job’? Mother and daughter exchanged glances. ‘His number isn’t going through, I would have to take you there myself’ said Sara as she begun to gather her wares, Deborah was going to be angry with her for a long time, but she felt she was doing the right thing. Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Four ‘Someone must have leaked that video and that person is a devil, they ruined my first experience on the runway’ Clara seethed in anger as they arrived home. ‘Maybe you shouldn’t blame the person, why should one even keep sex videos of themselves? It’s risky’ Andy cut in. ‘That lady is immature and very irresponsible, for that reason, I shall not support your dream Clara, too many escapades in the fashion world. Those people are wayward, I don’t know what I’ll do if you turn out like that’ Mrs Briggas said to her daughter. ‘Mum, you can’t possibly mean that, that Inemesit who’s a fashion designer made a mistake doesn’t mean I would turn out like that’ Clara shook her head in disappointment, how could her mother reason like that? ‘I’m sorry honey, but I wouldn’t go back on my words’ Mrs Briggas reaffirmed her statement. ‘Who are all these dirty and wretched looking people and what could they possibly want’? Selene was the first to notice the three women that stood by the gate. ‘I hope everything is alright’ Andy muttered to himself and quickly got down from the car as he sighted Sara, Debora’s friend. ‘Who are you and how can I be of help’? Ekanem Briggas wondered who the strangers were. ‘Mum! Thank God you’re here, there’s a little problem’ Ani rushed to meet them. Hours after he’d told the maids to search for Debora, they’d still not found her and coincidentally, her relatives came looking for her. ‘And what could that be’? the woman faced her son. ‘It seems Deborah is missing’ Ani replied and watched his mother’s features contort first into a frown then worry. end of Deborah – Episode Twenty-Four Wow, so many things happening fast. Teju showing her color, Mama Debo landing at the mansion. Meanwhile, Ani is not taking Inemesit’s bait, neither is Andy able to recognize where he knew Morgana from. Looks like Morgana remains safe for now. Is Deborah safe?

epesode 25 ‘I love you so much, I loved you from the very day I set my eyes on you and right then you stole my heart away’ Ani bent his head and fetched her lips with his. ‘I loved you from the starting, there’s just something in you that draws me, like a butterfly to a flame’ Deborah whispered shyly. ‘So what would you like to have for breakfast’? he asked her. ‘Anything, but I’ll love Tea first’ she replied and he made her some coffee and offered her to drink. ‘Wake up bitch’! Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Five She felt the liquid on face and realized someone was splashing water on her. Her eyes struggled to adjust to this new environment as she realized she’d been with Ani in the dream. ‘Where am I’? she gasped in fright and rose to her feet. ‘Stay calm and focused if you want to live very long’ a stout young man scowled at her. ‘Please don’t harm me, I have not offended you in any way, please let me go’ Tears welled up in her eyes. ‘I wouldn’t go back on my words, shut up and sit on the ground, any more words from you, I’ll cut your head’ he made a swishing sound with his teeth. She obeyed quietly and wondered why Teju would do this to her. She remembered everything, she had found Oge crying and she had gone to confront Teju, that was when Teju hit her with a club. She rubbed the back of neck gently where most of the pain came from, then she realized she bled from there. She watched the young man who was now her captor and wondered what they planned to do with her. She scanned the place where she was being held, it was an uncompleted building and it seemed they were on the fifth floor. ‘God help me out of this’ she prayed in silence. She wished she had listened to Oge, Teju was more than dangerous. Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Five ‘We checked everywhere, her things are still intact but there’s no trace of her, she was fond of sneaking out of the house to meet her boyfriends’ Teju was the first to speak when questioned about Deborah. ‘You lie, you stupid thing, my daughter was never wayward’ Debora’s mother cut in angrily. ‘Please don’t tell me stories Andy, you promised to take good care of her’ Sara was shaken as she knew the blame would be on her. ‘Don’t worry, we’ll find her’ Andy replied thoughtfully. Obviously Teju was lying and that meant she knew something about Deborah’s disappearance, he was going to find the love of his life, he swore it. ‘I need to be alone with the girl’s mother, you all can excuse me’ Mrs Briggas ordered her children outside. Deborah was missing quite alright, but something else bothered her, the woman who introduced herself as Debora’s mother shared no resemblance with Ateri and it confused her the more. Maybe her son was right, maybe it was just a resemblance, but why had she felt such a strong connection to the girl, right from the very first day she met her? ‘Please Ma, help me find my daughter, she is the only joy I have left in this world, if anything happens to her, I don’t think I could live with myself, please do something’ the woman sobbed uncontrollably. ‘As we speak, I have instructed my son to report the matter to the police, I promise you, your daughter will be safe’ Mrs Briggas comforted the woman and wondered if that was the right time to ask her questions about Debora. ‘Thank you very much, the good lord will bless you’ the woman wiped her face with the back of her hand. ‘I’m sorry to ask, have you ever stayed in Benue’? Mrs Brigass dared to ask. The question crashed upon her like a heavy rock, though the woman’s voice was gentle, her question sounded like thunder, especially when it was angry. ‘Benue’? the woman wondered why Deborah’s employer would ask her that. ‘I am sorry, it’s just that your daughter looked like someone that saved my life once, though she is dead, I loved your daughter very much, I was fond of her’ Mrs Briggas smiled, hoping to appear friendly as the woman looked scared, like something was going to eat her up. ‘Ateri…’Deborah’s mother called the name absent mindedly and it confirmed all the suspicions Ekanem Briggas had harbored. ‘What did you say? Did you say Ateri? That’s the name’ she rose to her feet eagerly. ‘No, I didn’t say anything, I have to go now, please contact me once my daughter is found’ she said and hurried out of the living room. ‘Okay then’ Ekanem waved her goodbye, the woman was hiding something. Something in her told her Deborah would be found alive, so she relaxed, the poor girl had not done anyone harm, God would save her. you are reading Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Five Ekanem knew what she had done may piss off her son, but she did it anyway. She knew how slow and hesitant Ani could be when it came to making real life decisions, that was why she had fixed the wedding date and printed the cards on his behalf. ‘Cheers to you son, I can’t wait to have my grandchild’ she smiled; the wedding was to happen in a week’s time. She quickly dialed Morganna’s number to share the news, Ani would hear about it once he returned from the police station. Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Five ‘Teju, I have a bad feeling about this, you only said you wanted to beat her up, but now she’s nowhere to be found, tell me, what were your plans exactly’? Oge wondered what Teju was up to. ‘Why do you act like you really cared about that girl? If you truly cared, you wouldn’t have gotten that money from me, but you’re too greedy to turn even the devil down’ Teju mocked her. ‘Of course I cared for her; I only did that because I needed money to solve some family issues’ Oge replied. ‘Save your breath, no harm would come to her, I just want to teach her a lesson, I promise you that’ Teju reassured her. Teju had set her plans in motion, Debora wasn’t going to be killed, something more interesting, something that would ruin her reputation would happen to her. That way, Andy and all those who had interest in her would lose it. Suddenly Selene appeared in the kitchen ‘Teju! See me in my room’ she said ‘Yes Ma’ Teju winked at Oge whose face had remorse written all over it. She was sure of what Selene wanted her for and braced herself to give a wow act. ‘God see me out of this mess’ Oge regretted her actions and prayed God would touch Teju’s heart, the girl was a devil. Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Five Debora’s disappearance had changed all of Selene’s plans. For humiliating her, she’d planned same for the girl but all her anger fled when she eavesdropped on her mother’s conversation with Debora’s mother. All her life, she’d built walls around her to ensure she had no human sympathy. Though she never shared this with anyone, she’d been raped by her first boyfriend, and that had turned her into a dyke. She put up walls of arrogance and hatred to shield the pain she felt inside, that pain was resurrected in her when she heard the woman cry. Though Deborah had rebuffed her advances, she decided to forget about that incident, people had different sexual preferences. ‘Come in’ Selene called in the maid. The cry of that woman had stirred a change in her and changing her ways was the first thing she would do. ‘I am sorry for what happened between us that night’ she said ‘it was not supposed to take place, I took advantage of you because you are a maid.’ Selene knew what she was to say next would hurt the girl, but she had made provisions for that. ‘Sorry? I am not, I actually enjoyed it’ Teju’s heart raced, she did not like the look on Selene’s face. ‘No you didn’t, you just did that to please me, here have this’ Selene offered her the envelope. ‘That’s a sum of two hundred thousand naira, use that and start your life over, get your things and pack out of the mansion immediately’ said Selene as she walked towards the door. ‘Why? Have I offended you in any way? is this because of Debora? Did she say any bad thing against me? Please I have nowhere to go, please don’t do this Selene, please’ Teju fell on her knees. It seemed her plans were working against her. ‘No you have not offended me, just get your things and leave, I’ll explain to my mother what happened, okay’? Selene widened the door and Teju stepped out dejectedly fully understanding that nothing she would say would change Selene. ‘God save her wherever she is’ Selene prayed for Deborah’s safety. She needed to apologize to the girl once she was found, then she’d fly out of the country, there was no place for people like her in Nigeria and she was not willing to change. end of Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Five wow!! why didn’t Deborah’s “mum” confess to Ekanem? Now that Teju has been driven away, wouldn’t she act like a wounded tigress? what would she do to Deborah?

They’d filed a missing person’s case at the police station and were prepared to return home. The mysterious disappearance of Debora had distracted them both from what they had planned to discuss with each other. They drove silently for a while, each man to his own thought. Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Six He felt like a coward and would hate himself forever if anything happened to Deborah. From the first day he saw her, somehow his heart whispered that she belonged to him and he had denied it. He’d thought Morganna was the only woman he could love, but he had been wrong. Now that she was nowhere to be found, his yearning and desire for her only increased. ‘There’s something I must tell you’ said Andy breaking into his thoughts. He had received a memory flash at the fashion show. It was like a vision, like he was plunged into a trance like state. Maybe whatever Clara had done to him had worked later, but he couldn’t tell her what he remembered. ‘I think Morganna is hiding something from you, it seems she had a medical condition or sickness that may be a problem to you two in future’ Andy said. His father was a medical doctor, he remembered her face vividly, though she was older now, she’d come to his father at his private clinic and from the way they spoke in hushed tones, something dreadful had happened to her. ‘What’s all these? First it was Inem and now you? Morganna is carrying my baby and soon she’ll be my wife, get that’ Ani snapped angrily at his cousin. ‘Why would I cook up something like that? I’ve told you before that she seems familiar. I recently recalled where I’ve seen her before’ Andy was annoyed by the way his cousin spoke to me. ‘Maybe you want all the women in my life’ Ani screamed at him and brought the car to a halt. He knew he was venting all his frustration on his cousin. He didn’t love Morganna anymore, but she was carrying his baby and he needed to do the right thing. ‘Where is this coming from? Do you have anything to say to me? Go ahead, instead of lashing me with your tongue like a two year old’ Andy stepped down from the car. ‘I am sorry for the way I spoke to you, I’m just angry and disappointed at myself’ Ani exhaled. Andy paused for a while and observed his cousin; he’d never seen him this way before. ‘I let my parents especially my mother control my life, there was a time I loved Morganna, but I don’t feel it anymore. As the days roll by, I realize just how different we are and she has showed me her true nature, but what can I do? I feel trapped, she is carrying my child, I’m just so frustrated and angry at everyone’ Ani poured out his heart and felt slightly relieved, but he still couldn’t tell his cousin about his feelings for Deborah, it would hurt him beyond reason. ‘Is this about Debora’? Andy asked quietly. He was no novice; he could read his cousin like a book. Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Six ‘Man…you don’t have to go there’ Ani avoided the question. ‘You like her don’t you? That’s why you agreed to speak to her for me? I had a feeling you were attracted to this girl but I wasn’t sure.’ Andy felt hurt but not betrayed, only a fool would let a girl like Deborah pass him. ‘I am sorry Andy, I never meant to betray you, I swear, I have not done or said anything to her, when I accepted to talk to her on your behalf, I was honest and sincere, please forgive me’ Ani begged. ‘There’s nothing to forgive, life moves on; it’s not your fault that you fell in love’ Andy elbowed his cousin. He felt hurt though, but he knew he’d bounce back like never before. ‘Sure? So what are your plans’? Ani was surprised his cousin took it easily that he was in love with Deborah. ‘First, there’s no way in hell you’re getting married to Morganna, she’s too saucy and hideous. Even if she is carring your child, you’ll accept the child and take responsibilities, don’t let anyone manipulate you. Secondly, you mentioned something about Inemesit, who is she’? Andy asked. ‘One of Morganna’s friend I shagged, the one whose sex tape was leaked, she claimed she knew something dark about Morganna’ Ani explained. ‘I see, maybe we should meet her first’ Andy smiled mischievously, his instincts had never failed him, Morganna was a hypocrite. Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Six Morgana had never felt so excited, she’d put Inemesit in her rightful place and dealt her a blow she wouldn’t forget in a hurry. Her mother-in law was calling, so she quickly fetched her phone. She hadn’t spoken to Ani that day and that worried her slightly, she needed to know they were good with each other. ‘Hello mum, good eve’ she smiled. She was glad her future mother-in-law had a warm personality; she couldn’t wait to get married to the love of her life. Now Inemesit was out of the way, she knew nothing else would stop her. ‘Hello dear, I need you to come over to the mansion, I have a surprise for you’ Mrs Briggas beamed. ‘Wow, I’d be there soon, thanks mum’ Morganna wondered what that was all about. ‘God see me through, this is the only way’ she sighed and rubbed her belly absent mindedly as she remembered her gravest secret, one of the reasons she was in a hurry for the wedding. Another call came through and she picked it without hesitation. ‘You bitch, you’ve ruined my life, you ruined everything I built, how could you do something like that Morganna? What did I do to offend you’? Inemesit cried over the phone. ‘Me? I don’t understand you; we all know you were very wayward back in school, so maybe one of your ex-boyfriends had leaked the video’ Morganna hissed angrily. ‘You really think I’m stupid right? I know you still hated me for having sex with your boyfriend, but I promised you it would never happened again and I meant it. You’ve hurt me before and I forgave you, why did you leak that video?’ Inemesit was sure Morganna had something to do with her scandal. ‘Just stay away from me, I don’t have time for this’ Morganna was about to end the call when Inem’s threatening voice stilled her and she felt a sharp pain in her chest. ‘Since you want to play dirty, get ready, I’m telling Ani everything about you, have you forgotten the night at the doctor’s place so soon?’ Inem could perceive her fear from afar. ‘Don’t you dare threaten me, your words are just baseless, you have no proof whatsoever and if you try anything funny, if you ruin my chances with Ani, I would kill you, now that’s a promise’ Morganna threatened. ‘Do your worst girl, I’m coming for you’. said Eno and hung up. ‘No, no, no, this isn’t happening’ Morganna hit the table angrily. Her hands shook, her whole body was consumed by the fear of being discovered, but she stayed focused. ‘I destroyed everything, the address and the papers, she is just threatening me’ she calmed herself and settled into the nearest seat. She decided not to meet Mrs Briggas right away, she needed to think. She would pay the woman a visit the next day. end of Davina Diaries Fiction: Deborah – Episode Twenty-Six To be continued at noon tomorrow. hmmmmmm, every day for the thief…. seems like Morgana’s time is up. Also all is now free for Deborah and Any to move ahead. only problem is …. where is Deborah, is she still alive….

episode 27 Eno lay on the mat and rubbed her belly affectionately, Deborah was the reason she had not aborted the pregnancy, her sister always wanted the best for her, but she’d been too blind, too stubborn to see that. She was worried about Deborah, she’d cried her eyes out, she’d prayed to God to save her sister from danger, she was even more worried for her mother who’d been unusually quiet since their return from the mansion. ‘Mother, why are you so quiet? You worry yourself over nothing, God wouldn’t let harm come to Deborah’ Eno comforted the woman with her words. ‘My child, it is not your sister I worry about, my instincts tell me she’s alive and she would return to us, something else disturbs me’ the woman answered. ‘What could that be’? Eno raised herself slightly. ‘I think your sister must have been very happy at the mansion, the way her boss gushed about her, the woman was really fond of her’ her lips curved into a proud smile. ‘So is that why you’re worried? Now, that’s a good thing’ Eno shared the smile, she was proud to have such a person as Deborah for a sister. ‘Not at all, the woman seems to know something about Debora; she asked me a question that scared me. She told me of a woman that saved her life, the very woman whose baby I had stolen, Ateri, Debora’s birth mother’ she replied. Deborah – Episode Twenty-Seven ‘My God, how?’ Eno looked puzzled. ‘I don’t know, but she quickly saw the resemblance between Debora and Ateri. I couldn’t answer her question, I couldn’t face the truth even when it looked me in the face, I lacked the courage to admit my evil doing. I am in so much fear, what if Deborah hates me? What if she abandons me forever? I could never live with that’ the woman sobbed. ‘Mother, please don’t do this, stop killing yourself with worry, all our focus now should be on how to find my sister. You said yourself this Ateri woman was wayward and lived a carefree life, maybe you taking Deborah away was the right thing to do for her.’ Eno squeezed her shoulders. ‘You think so? I pray she understands and feels same’ she sighed. ‘Yes. The Deborah I know would be angry with you, but she adores you so much as her mother and would do anything to please you. She would eventually come around Just be patient, everything would work out fine’ Eno said. ‘How did you become this wise’? the woman was amazed at her daughter’s change. ‘I don’t know, maybe I learnt to become my sister’ Eno lay her head on her mother’s shoulder. Deborah – Episode Twenty-Seven Dinner in the Briggas mansion had never been this quiet, dinner was usually a time where they teased each other and went through each other’s day’s events, but this dinner was quiet, almost awful. ‘You guys are totally creeping me out, why the silence’? Selene rolled her eyes. Andy, Ani and Clara were particularly not excited; it was only her mom who seemed undisturbed about the recent disappearance of the maid. ‘Selene, let them be, Deborah is missing, it’s affecting everyone, I thought you liked her’ Mrs Briggas said. ‘Yes I did, she was a beautiful soul, same can’t be said about Teju’ Selene clicked her tongue. ‘I still don’t understand why you sent my maid away without my permission; care to fill me in on it’? the woman asked. ‘She was becoming a nuisance, I did the right thing, you’d thank me later’ Selene answered and quietly returned to her meal. ‘Oge! Fetch me a glass of water; you added too much pepper to this food’ Mrs Briggas screamed angrily. ‘It’s almost 9P.m, we should leave for the Crescent moon bar’ Andy whispered to his cousin. They were going to meet Inemesit . ‘Alright then, mum, you’ll have to excuse us, we are going somewhere’ Ani pulled his chair backwards. ‘I’m coming along with you’ Clara jumped up. ‘No you aren’t’ Ani replied. ‘Where are you guys really going’? Mrs Briggas asked. ‘There’s someone very important we have to meet, we’ll be back early’ Andy answered and they both rushed out of the house. ‘You don’t have to be sad, your brother isn’t running away’ her mother said to Clara who was pouting like a pampered child. ‘Meanwhile, I have good news to share, I didn’t want to tell your brother just yet, I want Morganna to be here with him’ she rubbed her palms eagerly. ‘Is this about that stupid wedding that’s never going to happen’? Clara scowled. She wondered why her mother was so blind, why was she trying too hard to get Ani hooked up to the wrong woman. ‘Shut your mouth Clarabella! Why would you say something like that about your brother’s wedding’? her eyes flashed angrily. ‘Mum, it seems you don’t notice things, but I am quite sure of this, even if Ani goes ahead with this marriage thing, he’d never be happy, I can see it in him, I still remember the look in his eyes when I told him Morganna was carrying his child, he wasn’t excited. Mum, please have a rethink, it’s not too late’ Clara poured her mind and left for her room. ‘Someone’s in a bad mood’ Selene scoffed, then thought about what her younger sister had said. Was Ani truly unhappy about getting married to Morganna? ‘I don’t know what has come over your sister, Ani has never complained about Morganna to me, I don’t have a clue where she got this from’ said Ekanem exasperatedly. ‘Well, if they’re meant to be together, it would work out eventually’ Selene replied coolly. Deborah – Episode Twenty-Seven ‘I love you so much, I loved you from the very day I set my eyes on you and right then you stole my heart away’ Ani bent his head and fetched her lips with his. ‘I loved you from the start, there’s just something in you that draws me, like a butterfly to a flame’ Deborah whispered shyly. ‘So what would you like to have for breakfast’? he asked her. ‘Anything, but I’ll love Tea first’ she replied and he made her some tea and offered her to drink. ‘Wake up bitch’! She shuddered and gave a loud cry as she realized she’d been dreaming, her captive had not fed her anything and she grew weak by the hour. Her body was drenched in the dirty water he had poured on her. ‘You think this is your house eh? Sleeping like some fairy princess? Let me tell you something bitch, you are no princess, wake up’ he said as he poured some more water on her. ‘Please, please…’ Deborah shivered. She’d lost count of how many buckets of water he had poured on her, time had lost meaning, only darkness surrounded her. ‘Ekemini, come over here’! she heard a voice call the stout young man who’d been tormenting her. ‘I’ll be back for you’ he snapped his fingers and left the room. ‘Jesus please help me, make a way of escape’ tears streamed down her pretty face as she scanned the dimly lit room. It seemed it was night, the young man had bound her legs and hands together, ensuring there’d be no chance of escape for her. She paused and wondered who had called the young man, she closed her eyes and strained her ears to hear whatever was being discussed. ‘How long has she been here’? the other man asked Ekemini. ‘Two days now, any instructions on what we’ll do next’? Ekemini asked. ‘Tomorrow’ the other man responded. ‘Tomorrow’ Deborah whispered fearfully. There was something strangely familiar about the other voice, she’d heard that voice before, but maybe her senses were playing with her. She scanned the room where she was being held frantically this time, she was not going to fold her arms and wait for some miracle, she had to run. end of Deborah – Episode Twenty-Seven Thank God that Deborah is still alive. while there is live, there is hope. Is Teju working with Morgana? Remember that Morgana said her only problem was Inemesit, Why didn’t she see Deborah as a problem? hmmmmmmm. We have just tow episodes to end this story. Tune in at noon

Inemesit was glad Ani had honored her invitation, Morganna had clearly taken her for a fool and she would soon bear witness to the results. ‘What would you like to have Ma’am’? a waiter came with the menu. ‘Bourbon only’ Inem said. She spoke in a low tone so no one would recognize her in the bar, thanks to Morganna, she was now the troll on social media and the most wayward woman in the world. ‘Inemesit’ she heard her name, she quickly turned and found Ani standing behind her with another guy that resembled him slightly. ‘You came! Please have a seat’ she offered. Deborah – Episode Twenty-Eight ‘Thanks, good evening, this is my cousin Andy, let’s be quick about this’ Ani had no time to waste. ‘Alright then, I really loved Morganna as my friend, though I hurt her, I apologized and I swore never to stab her again, you see, people make mistakes, that’s why we’re human’ Inem paused as she recalled how angry Morganna had been when she discovered her fling with Ani. ‘Please go straight the point, what do you have on Morganna?’ Ani cut her short. ‘I see, you’re in such a hurry, why do I have a feeling you don’t love her anymore’? Inem sneered at him. Then she saw the firmness of his jawbone and the dark glare he gave her, she dipped her hands into the purse she carried and gave him some papers. ‘What’s this’? Ani scanned them briefly not understanding any word that was written on it. ‘A doctor’s report’ Andy replied silently, his father was a medical doctor and he’d seen him issue such reports a thousand times to people. ‘Morganna Esio, the woman you’re to marry was cheating on you back in school but I covered for her. She later got pregnant for one of her boyfriends and out of panic she took some drugs which turned out to be fake. Her womb became ruptured and I took her to one Dr Briggas for treatment, this man was sincere and told her she could never conceive as her womb had been destroyed. So with her father’s approval, she was operated upon and her womb was removed, Morganna Esio has no womb’ Inem dropped her bombshell. Deborah – Episode Twenty-Eight ‘That’s my father you just talked about, he is a gynecologist. I knew it, I knew from the first day I set my eyes on Morganna that I’d seen her before’ Andy was stunned by the shocking revelation. ‘How’s this possible? She is pregnant with my child and we’ll wed soon’ Ani scoffed. ‘Funny, pregnant! Is it some miracle baby? Well, I have done my part, if I were you, I’d take her to a standard hospital for a pregnancy test, please excuse me’ Inem dropped more documents and walked out of the bar. ‘Men, this is super story, can someone actually pretend to be pregnant? What does she hope to achieve’? Ani found Inem’s story hard to believe. ‘I told you before man, there was something creepy about that fiancée of yours’ Andy was happy Ani had finally learnt the truth. ‘If you’re still in doubt, maybe we should call my dad, he keeps records’ Andy said. ‘No, I believe it, marrying Morganna would’ve been the greatest mistake of my life’ Ani muttered to himself. ‘So what do you plan to do’? his cousin asked. ‘I am Calling off the wedding’ he felt relieved. Now he would focus on finding Deborah, the girl who had stolen his heart. ‘Big ups bro, let’s make things spicy’ Andy winked. Deborah – Episode Twenty-Eight Morgana was in a dilemma, she’d not slept throughout the night, she couldn’t come up with any plan and that was bad. Knowing how Slimy Inemesit was, she feared she could unleash her secret to the world at any time, but she couldn’t let that happen. ‘Good morning Morganna, Please try and come over, let’s make plans for the wedding’ she read the text the fourth time as she drove the car. Ani had not called her in days and she was greatly bothered, but she relaxed as she was on her way to his house and would get to see him that day. As for Inemesit, she had other plans for her, she would send thugs after her to silence her forever, she realized she had not thought through her plans as carefully as should have, now Inem had the upper hand. you are reading Deborah – Episode Twenty-Eight ‘Welcome future sister in law’ Selene welcomed her with a hug. ‘Morning Selene, how are you? You look splendid’ Morganna smiled, she inhaled deeply, she needed to be her normal self. ‘Thanks honey, you’re just in time, we’re having breakfast, mum has an important announcement to make’ Selene winked. ‘Well then, let’s hear it’ Morganna felt sick as they both stepped into the sitting room. ‘Look at her, she’s so beautiful, good morning baby’ Ani rose to receive her. ‘Uhmmm, I thought he wasn’t into her, what’s going on’? Clara whispered to Andy whose eyes gleamed mischievously. ‘Well, it’s a movie, let’s watch’ said Andy and lifted the juice filled glass to his lips. ‘Touché’ Clara wondered what Ani was up to. ‘Aww, see the love birds, contrary to some people’s opinion, you guys are perfect for each other’ said Mrs Briggas and stared at her younger daughter. ‘Yes, we are perfect for each other, have a seat honey’ Ani pulled a chair for her. ‘Thanks baby’ Morganna felt more confident. She had not seen Ani display such affection for her for a long time, it showed his love for her had been renewed, nothing could stop her from getting married to him, not even the darkness of her past. ‘So what news do you have to deliver mother’? Clara asked eagerly. ‘Give me a minute, let me get something’ Ekanem Briggas was excited, she was happy her son had agreed to marry Morganna. ‘I’m so excited right now, I miss you so much baby’ said Morganna as she pecked him. ‘Go get a room guys, I’m eating’ Selene teased, she had a feeling something weird was happening, Ani wasn’t himself. ‘So have you started going for antenatal? We should even do a scan so we know the sex of the baby’ Ani rubbed her hands gently. ‘Uhmmm, I’ll do that next week’ she became uncomfortable with the topic. ‘If it’s a boy please name him Andy’ Andy winked. ‘And if a girl, Clara’ Clara grinned. ‘That would be nice guys, I have a feeling it would be twins’ Morganna forced a smile that betrayed her thoughts. She was uncomfortable With the direction the discussion was going. Something was definitely wrong. Before she had time to get her thoughts together, she heard her name being screamed out ‘Morganna!’ Mrs Briggas screamed angrily and stormed out of her room. She’d gone to get the wedding cards, but she couldn’t find them, it seemed she’d misplaced the envelope that contained the cards. In the place of the envelope, she’d found a file filled with some documents, something drew her to them and she decided to take a glance, as she wondered where they’d come from since she had not dropped any file there. That was when she saw it, she felt numb, what sort of game was that? Was Morganna truly barren and if she was, why was she bent on marrying Ani? Why was she lying to them and pretending to be pregnant. Hidden amongst the documents was a confession from Inem’s ex boyfriend on how Morgana had paid him for a sex tape. Apparently, the guy had gotten a change of mind after seeing what Morgana had done with the video and confessed to Inem. Ekanem was in shock as to what kind of person she wanted to bring into her home. They could deal with the barrenness but the lies and wickedness? Why would someone go to that length to destroy someone else, not caring that her future sister in law was also involved. If she could do that, Ekanem wondered what else the girl was capable of. ‘Mum what is it’? Selene could see the woman was infuriated. ‘Yes Mother’ Morganna rose to her feet and wondered why the woman screamed her name in such a manner. ‘Here, read this, I found this in my room, is this true’? Mrs Briggas placed the file before her. ‘I…I can explain’ Morganna felt weak as all eyes focused on her. She was taken unawares, even if She’d lied, Mrs Briggas would have asked for a pregnancy test to ascertain that what was contained in the files weren’t true. But how was she to explain the sex tape and the incident at the launch? How would she explain lying about a pregnancy that didn’t exist. She knew that the die was cast. ‘Go ahead, we’re all ears’ Ani rose to his feet and faced the devil he’d almost married. Deborah – Episode Twenty-Eight Deborah watched as her captor opened the window for the first time and a wave of sunlight hit her hard. She had grown weaker by the day, her stomach rumbled, if she stayed longer she’d lose her life, the only thing that kept her going were thoughts of him and thoughts of her mother and sister. ‘Please I want something to eat, I am terribly hungry’ Deborah groaned. The stout young man just stared at her without batting an eyelash, he’d been given instructions and he wasn’t about to go against them. ‘Please, I know you’re not that heartless, I believe there’s still some good in you, please find me something to eat, I am dying’ she repeated. ‘its okay, bring the food, let her enjoy her last breakfast’ said Teju as she trotted into the room majestically. ‘Teju!’ Deborah gasped as she came face to the face with the maid that had kidnapped her. ‘Yes Deborah? Or is it Debbie? That’s what Selene calls you’ Teju chuckled and grabbed her by the hair. ‘Please don’t hurt me, I have done nothing to offend you, please just let me go’ she sobbed. ‘Let you go? You don’t understand do you? Once you get into my trap, there’s no coming out, you took everything I ever wanted. The attention, Andy’s admiration and love, it was so easy to come in there and everyone turned to like you, even the ghoulish Selene.’ Teju bit her lip angrily as she remembered her humiliating dismissal from the Briggas mansion. ‘Teju, I never meant to hurt you, I have no love for Andy, I swear. Please just let me go’ Deborah was amazed at the words that spewed out of Teju. ‘You pathetic liar. You took him from me, but no one dares to harm me and go scot free. Jessica had tried that and I had set her up, I would make your death very miserable. You see, I had no intentions of killing you at first, I wanted a man to rape you and we take pictures of it so as to discredit you, but I think I’ll do both before squeezing the life out of you’ Teju snapped her fingers and another man walked into the room. end of Deborah – Episode Twenty-Eight We have the last and our longest episode tomorrow. What happens to Deborah? What happens to Morgana? We have just one more twist of this story. Just one more twist and we will leave you alone. Join us at noon tomorrow.

final episode ‘Ani, please look at me, I’ve been meaning to tell you everything, but I was afraid you’d turn your back on me. Please forgive me’ Morganna begged. ‘You are not saying anything, are you pregnant or not’? Ani simply asked. ‘No’ a tear slipped on her cheeks. What of all those things Inem’s ex-said about you, are they true? Morgana had no words to say. Her lying about the pregnancy had complicated everything making it difficult to take herself out of the situation. Deborah – Final Episode ‘Christ! This isn’t happening, Morganna, you are not pregnant, what stuff about Inem? are you the one behind the leak? Why would you do such a thing? are you that wicked? That’s beyond wicked, you are a devil’ Selene spat angrily. She was shocked and disappointed, her younger sister had been right all along, Morganna was the wrong woman for Ani. ‘It’s just like a dream, like a movie, that I almost ruined my son’s life with my own hands’ Mrs Briggas felt weak. ‘So I guess you planned to trap me with your fake pregnancy and maybe after we were married, you’d come up with some lie about having a miscarriage. Why Morganna? Why weren’t you honest with me and with yourself’? Ani searched her eyes for answers but there was none. ‘I am sorry, please we can still get married and adopt our own kids, love covers so many things and I love you Ani, I truly do’ she sobbed uncontrollably. ‘No Morganna, you don’t love my son, if you did love him; you’d have told him the truth. Love and lies are enemies, Love is truth, honesty and sincerity and you’re the opposite of love, you’re a devil in a white dress. Now get up and leave my house, don’t bother coming here with your dad, tell him you have no womb’ Mrs Briggas dismissed her angrily. Now get up and leave my house, don’t bother coming here with your dad, tell him you have no womb and that you are a lying conniving witch’ Mrs Briggas dismissed her angrily. ‘Please….’ She begged. ‘Just go Morganna’ Ani turned his face away, Inemesit had been right after all. Her hopes had crashed just like a building into a wide ocean, she knew there was no turning back for her, she could never face Ani or any member of his family anymore. She walked out slowly and stepped out of the place she’d dreamt would be her home one day. She wasn’t angry at She walked out slowly and stepped out of the place she’d dreamt would be her home one day. She wasn’t angry at Inem, maybe she deserved it, she’d been the first to play dirty but it backfired on her. ‘Goodbye,’ she whispered sadly and slid into her car, never to return. Deborah – Final Episode ‘God, why are some women so toxic? I can’t believe what just happen, I’m boarding a flight, I need to take a vacation. So many weird things happening here’ Selene threw her hands in the air and left. ‘This was all my fault, Clara was right, I was too blind and pushy as a mother. Please forgive me Ani, I promise never to interfere in your love life; you’re free to love whoever you want. If you had married Morganna, and later found out all you now know, you would’ve hated me for the rest of your life’. Mrs Briggas served her son an apology. ‘Thanks, mum, all thanks goes to Andy who helped me to take this bold step’ Ani smiled proudly at his cousin. ‘No big deal, I always want the best for you bro’ Andy elbowed him. ‘Good. Now we have one more problem, one puzzle to solve’ Clara called back their attention to Deborah who was still missing. ‘Nothing bad would happen to that girl, has the police called you yet’? Mrs Brigass asked. ‘No, we should keep our fingers crossed’ Ani replied and smiled as he remembered her beautiful face, now he felt free like chains had fallen off his feet, he couldn’t wait to see her again. ‘I guess this is the right time for you to tell mum about the other person you’re in love with’ Clara cut in impatiently. Why waste time? ‘Clara!’ Ani cautioned her. ‘What? I’ll tell her myself’ Clara winked. ‘Do you have someone else you love?’ Mrs Briggas was curious. ‘Yes, Debora’ Ani nodded. ‘Yes, Deborah’ Ani nodded. ‘Ateri’s daughter…?’ the woman’s face parted in a smile. ‘Why don’t we visit her mother? Let’s see how they’re faring’? Clara suggested. ‘That’s not a bad idea, we should all go together’ Mrs Briggas agreed. ‘That’s not a bad idea, we should all go together’ Mrs Briggas agreed. Deborah – Final Episode If her hands weren’t bound, she would have rubbed them over her eyes to be sure she wasn’t dreaming when she saw the man who came in with Teju. She shut her mouth hoping that her prayer had been answered. ‘So here’s our catch, you know what to do. your share would be fifty thousand naira. Do what you have to do and be quick, report back to me once evening comes’ Teju carefully instructed him and left with the young stout man. She was now left alone with him, someone that she thought she knew, for once, she understood that appearance wasn’t reality. ‘Papilo’? Deborah’s lips quaked, what was he going to do to her? ‘Sweet Choco, wetin you dey do here? Wetin you do dat madam’? Papilo was shocked to see her. ‘I no no o, she na bad person, abeg no kill me, abeg, anything wey u want, any amount of money, just release me, make I go, for the sake of my mama’ she cried. ‘Wait first, make I check if coast dey clear’ Papilo rushed to see if Teju had left with the other guy. He had killed people before, he’d sold human body parts to people who needed them, but he wasn’t going to kill Deborah, he couldn’t. He was going to set her free, even though it would cost him money. He would find an excuse to cover his tracks. He had done that before with someone who had paid him extra money. As it was, he was tired of this job. He had made enough money and had decided to disappear and start life afresh outside the country. and his life too, but he’d loved As it was, he was tired of this job. He had made enough money and had decided to disappear and start life afresh outside the country. and his life too, but he’d loved He believed it was bad luck to kill someone who had shown him kindness, Moreso when he and Sara her friend were friends. he decided he would release her and disappear forever. ‘Before I release you, I wan make you swear say you no go report me’ Papilo brought out a knife, ready to severe the ropes that bound her. ‘I swear’ Deborah replied. ‘Good. Once I release you, run as fast as your legs go carry you o. I no dey do dis kyn tin but because say na you.’ He instructed her and cut the ropes. ‘Thank you’ she jumped to her feet, suddenly she felt a new surge of strength though she’d felt weak before. Without relenting, she followed his direction and found a way out of the building. She realised they’d taken her to an uncompleted building that wasn’t very far from the Briggas Mansion. She contemplated gong there, but she was too terrified, what if Teju was at home? She decided to run home and meet her mother first. Deborah – Final Episode ‘Thanks Sarah for showing us the way’ Andy winked at Deborah’s friend. He’d called her and told her about his family’s plan to visit Deborah’s family. ‘No big deal’ Sara smiled at him. ‘No big deal’ Sara smiled at him. ‘So my son is in love with Deborah, how long have you had feelings for her? And does she know about your feelings’? Mrs Briggas questioned her son as they trailed behind Andy, Clara and Sara. ‘From the first day I set my eyes on her, I just couldn’t get my mind off her, I think she is amazing’ he smiled and prayed Deborah shared his feelings. ‘Wow and why didn’t you tell me?’ Mrs Briggas still felt guilty for pushing Ani to get married. ‘I don’t know, maybe I wasn’t sure of what I wanted’ Ani replied coolly and scanned the new environment they’d found themselves. He was going to take care of her and turn her situation around, she wouldn’t ever have to hawk around to make ends meet. He was going to take care of her and turn her situation around, she wouldn’t ever have to hawk around to make ends meet. ‘Well, I like her and I pray she has a womb’ Mrs Briggas murmured. ‘Eno!’ said Sara as she pounded on the door to Deborah’s apartment. ‘Open up it’s me, Sarah, you have visitors’ Sarah quickly added. Eno was heavily pregnant and she had a feeling she’d been asleep for a long time. ‘What visitors’? Eno yawned and pulled the door open, the curious faces that stared at her terrified her, then she quickly remembered the woman whom Deborah had worked for. ‘Where is Deborah? Has something bad happened to my sister’? she panicked. ‘No, the police are working on it, they just came to see how you and Mama were faring, bring some chairs outside, where is Mama’? Sara asked. ‘She went to church, she’ll be back soon’ Eno replied and brought out some chairs. ‘Please make yourselves comfortable’ she smiled at the visitors. These people were really nice, all her life she’d believed wealthy people to be arrogant and proud, but these ones before her were different. ‘So how have you been? How is the baby’? Mrs Briggas stared at the young girl, Deborah’s younger sister. ‘Fine’ Eno looked away in embarrassment. If only she’d been like Deborah, if only she’d followed her footsteps, things would’ve turned out differently for her, but it was too late for regrets ‘What’s happening here? has my Deborah been found’? the woman rushed to the house, she’d seen the car that was packed outside the compound and she quickly recognized it as the one that had driven in the day she went to the Brigass mansion. ‘Madam, you’re welcome, don’t worry, your daughter would be fine’ Mrs Briggas rose to meet her. ‘Amen’ the woman’s enthusiasm waned. She’d just returned from church and had prayed with all the strength in her, she hoped God answered her prayers eventually. She was happy the woman and her family showed so much concern for her daughter, it further strengthened her. Deborah – Final Episode ‘Please wait here for me, let me get you some money’ Deborah was beyond excited that she’d been freed at last ‘Take your time’ the cab driver looked her over. The girl looked tattered and thin, he wondered if she suffered any mental illness. ‘Who do we have here’? Deborah caressed the blue Jeep that was parked outside the compound. A smile played on her lips as she heard her mother’s voice; she seemed to be talking with someone other than her sister. She increased her pace and burst into the gathering, it all seemed like a dream, what was he doing here? her legs felt soft and her heart fluttered as she saw his handsome face. ‘Deborah’! Ani rose to his feet as their eyes met, he was the first to see her. ‘Yes’ she whispered weakly not knowing how to respond. ‘I am so happy you’re alive’ he moved forward and scooped her into his arms, he caressed her beautiful face and inhaled her hair, his love was back. ‘Thank you’ Deborah was stunned, while in the mansion, Ani rarely spoke to her, she was just amazed by his expressions. ‘I love you so much’ he whispered into her ears. The words hit her like a wave of air, cooled her like a splash of water on a sunny day, was she dreaming? ‘Did you hear me? I love you’ Ani repeated. ‘Yes, I have always loved you’ Deborah smiled, but she was confused, where was Morganna? ‘We broke up, long story, I’ll tell you much later’ he read the confusion in her eyes. ‘How beautiful, my son and your daughter’ Mrs Briggas turned to Deborah’s mother. ‘I never knew he had interest in her’ the woman beamed, she was so proud of her daughter. ‘I miss you so much Deborah, I’m so happy God brought you back safely’ Clara was the next to hug her. ‘Thank you Clara, I miss you too’ Deborah hugged her tightly. ‘My beloved daughter, God has brought you back to me, I am so happy’ her mother and Eno threw themselves at her, then Sara joined. ‘I am happy you are alive’ Andy caressed her hair. She had never felt so much love; that was her moment, she realized how much they cared for her and it pleased her greatly. ‘Welcome back Deborah’ Mrs Briggas was the last to welcome her. ‘Come and give me a hug’ she widened her arms but Deborahwas hesitant. ‘Go ahead darling’ Ani urged her on and without hesitation, she hugged the woman. Deborah – Final Episode Teju was later arrested alongside her gang of kindappers. The police couldn’t find Papilo who had escaped that night beyond the border. Oge later confessed about her involvement in Deborah’s kidnapping but Deborah forgave her. The woman she called mother later told her the true circumstances that surrounded her birth, she was mad at first, and felt deceived but she later forgave her and called her mother again. God had allowed her to be stolen as an infant for a reason, that was her belief. Her mother was an amazing woman and she was proud to have her as a mother and Eno as a sister. Deborah – Final Episode ‘From the first day I saw you I fell in love with you, I don’t know how it happened, but it did’ Ani kissed her belly. They’d dated for some months and he’d gotten her pregnant, his love for her grew as the days passed, this was the right woman for him. ‘Me too, but I never thought you’d be mine in this life, I saw you as this guy from a rich family who’d nothing to do with a poor and wretched maid, I am so happy to have you in my life’ she caressed his head. ‘So back to our discussion, what should we name this baby since the scan showed it is a girl’ he tickled her and she laughed. ‘Baby stop being naughty, don’t tickle me’ she laughed. ‘What should we call her’? he tickled her again. ‘I don’t know, maybe you should kiss me first, I’d tell you after’ she winked. ‘You know I could never get tired of kissing the woman I love’ without hesitation, he pressed his lips on hers; his kiss was a show of undying love and a promise of forever. end……
