The preparations for the glass balls were coming along well as John's maternal grandmother was making sure all the T’s were crossed and the I’s were dotted. There was no room for mistake because the ball was a week away until she received a disturbing message and it made her panic.“Dear I told you not to worry too much about this?” John's maternal grandfather said to his wife as he saw how all the preparations were going and how stressed she looked in the centre of all of it and then her face changed when she read the letter “But! see! what I have done already, what does she expect me to do about them.” John's maternal grandmother looked so sad when she read the letter sent by Dutchess Hampton “I know that you are upset but look at the brighter side she has hosted this ball for over a decade so she would certainly have more experience.” John's maternal grandfather said to her trying to comfort her in her but it wasn't working “Experience or she just wants to sabotage all that I h

“Did you know that Rita lost the child!” one of the acapella girls said as they walked through the hallway of their faculty block “Ooh my she did !” The other girl responded with a very sarcastic smile that was not genuine.“I knew that the child was a bad seed.” The alte girl responded as she had always been sensing bad energy and omens around Rita and now that she lost the child it was just a proof of all her signs that she had been getting.“Don't talk like that, she's also a woman like you.” the newbie in the group said, trying to make them put themselves in Rita's shoes.“Allow me please, she was always going about like a righteous person but look at how her story ended, very shameful.” The first girl who brought the gossip seller , she had been envious of Rita since she entered the group and she also loved Jerry so she was equally upset when Jerry chose Rita over her.“I knew that she would end up this way in pain and all alone.” the alte girl said softly and it made all the gi

“Who did you see?” Martin's asked Ade when he noticed how flustered he was about the person he saw at the entrance “John!” Ade said again confirming what he saw to Martin's who was very happy that his plans were almost following through.“That's impossible, he's away on a business trip in Europe and even if he was here he would have landed on the landing pad and not through the doors.” Martins said to Ade because he found it hard to believe that John was back so quick and why now “Come and look for yourself!” Ade said to Martin's so that he would calm down a bit because he immediately became restless and flustered at the thought of John being present at the hospital because he knew that it was game over for him “If this is a false alarm I will….” Martins said to Ade threatening him about the news he brought to him but suddenly to Martin's surprise, John walked past him at the other end of the hall and he became speechless “He is here in flesh and blood!” Martin's stuttered uncons

“Use the scrub twice daily, at night and first thing when you wake up, leave the scrub for 20 minutes on your face, count 1 - 60, 20 times to get to 120, I will be back, Amir.” This was the text on the scribble from Amir and the old man was very happy that Amir cared about him but was so upset that Amir had followed the ship that passed by.“That's why we should never trust a man.” the old man muttered to himself after seeing the note left by Amir.“I really wish that he could have Informed me before leaving.” the old man said as he tried to get on his feet but he was too disappointed to rise up immediately “I had a gift for him and his wife who is expecting a child.” The old man said and looked beside his tent where he had hidden a special herb to boost the immune system of his child and to also help Amir's wife recover from the delivery faster “Hmmm but he was a good fellow.” The old man thought and smiled then tried to get himself in his feet but he suddenly had a flash of the me

Amir was still roasting the fish for their dinner when he started wondering when he was going to be reunited with Rita, this was the first time in weeks that they had stone days without speaking to eachother and his heart ached with worry every day that he didn't get any news form her.“Thinking of your wife and child right?” the old man asked Amir because of how lost he looked while he was preparing their dinner “How did you know sir?” Amir asked the old man because he had never mentioned that he missed his family but the old man just sensed his tense emotion“I was once in love remember and I could tell that you really love her.” The old man said and smiled and continued adjusting their tents because they had a rough night with the winds.“I really do and I really wanted to be there for the baby's birth.” Amir said honestly with his head down and the old man felt compassion for Amir “Then what happened, how did you end up floating on the sea?” The old man asked curious to know how
