                        SISI EKO. ✍ Chief perceived Abigail was very serious, however he was yet to figure out what she wanted to talk about. "Abigail baby! This one that you say you want us to talk..can't it wait till we see the Doctor?" Chief asked curiously. Abigail was quite adamant and refused to step out of the car. "Okay..since you want to talk now..go ahead." She said as he waited anxiously. "Chief, I want to do something o! I want to be established and have a business of my own why don't you set me up sef? Let me be engaged with something productive instead of waiting on you all the time." Abigail lamented. Chief stared at her for a moment and then shook his head. Abigail wasn't so sure what Chief's reaction connoted, however she was more interest thanksed in his response. "Chief, you're not saying anything." Abigail pressed on. "Abigail baby! You want to start doing something, abi? You wan...

                        SISI EKO. ✍ "...but Chief, I don't think you should bother, let me just take water and I will be fine." Abigail said. "Abigail baby! You know I cannot afford to see anything happen to you o! Let's just go and see the Doctor, he must have something for that headache." Chief still insisted as he headed out of the house. Abigail was quite certain that Chief wasn't taking 'No' for an answer and she began to regret that she had lied using the 'headache' as an excuse for her absentmindedness. Reluctantly, she succumbed to Chief's suggestion and they headed out of the house. ************************** After driving for some hours, Chief arrived at a hospital and parked the car. He had navigated his way through the ever busy road and they had managed to arrive at a good time. "Oya! Abigail baby! Let us go in!" Chief exclaimed. For a moment, Abigail just remain and starred at Chief. At tha...

                       SISI EKO. ✍  Abigail knew she had no choice at that moment than to do Chief's biddings. She hurried down to the market and returned with everything she needed to prepare the Egusi soup and pounded Yam. After a couple of hours, the meal was ready.  "Chief, are you ready to eat now?' She asked grumpily. Chief looked at Abigail and smiled. "Abigail baby! You've finished cooking nau nau! Na wa o! You keep getting better everyday...oya! bring the food." Chief exclaimed. Abigail placed the food before Chief while she watched him eat. Anxiously, Chief settled down to his meal as he watched his hands.  After a while, he paused and turned to Abigail. "Ahan! Abigail! Won't you join me? The food is sweet o!" He exclaimed. Abigail shook her head. "No, Chief. Thanks, I'm fine." Abigail said . "Hmmm? Okay ooo..if you say so.." Chief said as he continued eating. Meanwhile, Abi...

                        SISI EKO. ✍ Abigail stood still and was a bit reluctant to get the Door. She was not particularly ready to give Chief any reason to be suspicious however, she was unsure of who was at the Door. The Knock on the Door persisted and this time even harder. Then Chief turned to Abigail. "Abigail baby! Somebody is at the Door nau! Abi, is it not your Door?" Chief inquired. With a faint smile, Abigail staggered towards the Door and struggled with the handle for a while. "Should i cone and help you open it?" Chief offered to help and Abigail shook her head.  Then suddenly, the Door opened but to her amazement, no one was there! She stepped outside and turned both sides but did not catch a glimpse of anyone. Abigail stood there for few seconds, still there was no one in view, then she  returned to the house. "Abigail baby! What happened!? Where is the person that was just knocking?"...

                        SISI EKO. ✍ Abigail's phone continued to ring as she grew more restless than ever. Chief's attention was caught up by this time.  "Ahan! Abigail baby! Is it not your phone that is ringing like that?" He asked curiously. Abigail, immediately cut the call. "em..It's just my alarm! Chief. Let's  go inside." Abigail said hurriedly. As they entered the House, Chief literally flung himself on couch and placed both legs on the centre table.  "So, I want to eat pounded Yam and Egusi!" Chief exclaimed. Abigail stared at him as he made such a request at such short notice. "..Ah! Chief, there is nothing in the house o!" Abigail lamented, almost irritated. Chief dipped his hand in his pocket and brought out an envelope. "Oya! Take, go and buy everything you need. You know, I don't joke with 'round about', 'Shaky' and Kpomo! After we finish eating, we will continue our dis...

                             SISI EKO.                       ✍ Abigail remained still for a while as she watched the car parked in front of the house. Few seconds later, she realized, that she had been right. It was Chief! He stepped out of the car. Abigail wondered why he had not called her before getting to the house. Chief noticed she was standing just outside. " Abigail baby, how are you ? This one that you are looking at me like this, are you not happy to see me?" He said cheerfully. Abigail, snapped out of her long stare immediately. "em..not that at all..I did not hear you driving in, that's why I'm quite surprised." Abigail said as she tried to put on a more cheerful look.  "Okay o! This one that you are dressed like this, na wa o! You look take away, what's the occasion nau?" Chief asked curiously as he noticed the black chiffon...

                          SISI EKO. ✍ Abigail still remained silent for quite a while as she tried to find a response to Dele's question. "Anyway, I was hoping we could do lunch at the same restaurant we bumped into each other the last time?" Dele asked. Abigail paused and took a deep breath. She wasn't so sure of Dele's request, however she thought it wasn't such a bad idea considering the last reception she had at the restaurant. "So, what do you say?" Dele asked anxiously. "Okay..I don't mind." Abigail replied. "Then I'll pick you up by 1.00pm." A cheerful Dele responded. ******************* Maybe, this was just one way Abigail could ease off her stress even if it's just for a couple of hours! So she thought as she contemplated on which dress to put on for her date with Dele. After few minutes, she settled for a chiffon fitted gown. Abigail had noticed her love for gowns recently and it had be...
