Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 45

I introduced her to my sister who gave her some word of advice and encouraged her not to give up on the condition she found herself. The counsel brought her back to life and rekindled her lost hope.

I paid her regular visit to play and chat with her before I left back for school after three weeks of vacation.

Her love started increasing day by day in my heart but yet, I couldnā€™t let go two days without dialing my first loveā€™s number which was always not going through. The life that was once like hell was then getting lovely and cozy and my relationship with Taiwo was then becoming perfect which made me concentrated on my studies without any problem. Elders say a child that knows how to wash hands will surely eat with elder. My generous attitude to her also made her increased in good deeds to me. What surprised me most about her was that she sent me cash whenever I was broke and least expected as if I informed her. It was always coincided.


To God be to glory, I completed my B.sc program and I was posted to River State for my National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) where I was fortunate to work with an Oil company. I was well paid and at the same time I did some kind of runs which yielded me more money. I sent money to my sister to get me a bungalow in preparation to settle down as a family man with Taiwo which she did without any stress with the help of her husband who was an agent. I seldom visit home to check on my wife (Taiwo) as a result of the distance but never let go of a day without hearing from herā€¦ Blood is thicker than water.

May God bless my sister beyond her expectation because she really tried for both of us. In fact, I would have said she was my mother but since I didnā€™t grow up to know how mother cares, then I would rather say she was my grandma because she stayed and care for her since I was not around.


One fateful night, I could remember vividly, it was Thursday around 1:45am when I got a call from my sister telling me that she was in a hospital and prayer was needed just because my wife was about to deliver and she had been carried to the labour room. On hearing that, my body system changed and I became restless. It was not less than fifty minutes when I heard my phone ring again, my sister calling. I picked it up without any delayā€¦ ā€œHello sister, has she put to bed?ā€ I asked anxiously with tremble in my voice.

ā€œI learnt that she canā€™t put to bed herself and she needs to go through CS (caesarean section) and as a result of that, she has been moved to the theatre. Just keep your mind at rest and keep on praying. By Godā€™s grace, she will deliver safely and we shall hear from both the mother and the babyā€, she explained rendered words of encouragement.

ā€œA a ameenā€ I responded with great fear in my voice and she hung up the call.

It was a big blow on my face and my heart started pounding heavily while I kept on repeating ā€œCSā€ like a kindergarten student reciting ā€˜A for Appleā€™ along side with his or her teacher. I kept on moving up and down in the room for some minutes before I later picked up a kettle and performed ablution, and then started praying.

After some minutes, I heard my phone ringing again which made me broke the prayer. And I was shocked and confused when I saw who was calling meā€¦
