Episode 43
That night was hell for me,i couldnt think
straight nor concentrate,to sleep was war for
me.no position i stay was of comfort to
me,seating on the bed was something else and standing was another thing so i just kept
walking to and fro in the room taking glasses
of water like a toad.this girl has stolen not
just my heart but the whole of me.the night
was so slow,seem like the clocks aint
clicking,my mind wasnt mine,i remembered
that i had earlier collected her number from
observer,i picked my phone and started dailing her line but it wasnt reachable but i continued trying.morning finally came afte what seem like enternity,i quickly dashed to the bathroom,had my bath and brushed my teeth with extra care,i tried her number once more but it was switched off,i kit up and troop off my room bagging the door behind me,straight into my car and i drove out of the compound and zoomed off to search for my nancy.
I searched and searched for her but couldnt
find her,i even went to the school to check but
there was no sign of nancy.after everything i
drove home weak,hopeless and helpless,i
opened my door and fell flat on my bed,then
my door cracked opened and my step mother’s voice came
Step Mum:have u found her?
Me:not even a sign of her
Josey:are u sure u checked well?
Me: (sat up right with my frustrated self)what
sort of foolish question is that eh?
Step Mum:josey i dont want to hear ur voice
again.dan pls take a rest and calm down,its
obvious u didnt sleep last night because ur
eye balls are swellon
Me:thanks mum
Josey:emm,me that is just trying to help
out.ok oo…..walks out of my room with my
step mum.i la!d back till i slept off****
