                            SISI EKO.     ✍ There was intermittent silence while Abigail was puzzled. "Hello Abigail." The voice finally spoke. Abigail listened up and she tried placing the voice. Obviously, she still felt quite sleepy. "em..who is this?" She asked politely. "Abigail, it's me, Doctor Dele."  Angela gasped. "Oh!  pardon me..I really did not realize." She quickly added. "Well, I think by now you should have my number stored." Dele said cheerfully. Abigail paused and pondered over Dele's statement. "I think so..." She responded indecisively. Then, another akward silence followed. "So, I thought I would get a feedback on your Father's state of health, how his he fairing?" Dele asked. "He's fine..'Thank you." Angela replied. "Okay...and you?" Dele pressed on. "I'm fine.." Abigail replied. Dele hesitated for another ...

                          SISI EKO. ✍ It was exactly 8.00 am and the reflection of the sun was cast on Angela's window. The Loud horns of the ever busy Lorries were almost deafening. Angela rolled on her bed endlessly as she tried to wake up from her Dream. She held on to the blanket firmly and Suddenly opened her eyes! She panted anxiously as she sat up on the bed. 'This Dream again!" She exclaimed. Angela had recalled severally that she had the same Dream few days ago. Dressed in a wedding gown, she stood Infront of some guys  with a bouquet of flowers and could hardly make up her mind  on who she wanted to give the flower. She stood still and stared at all of them until she woke up. Angela did not know what to make of the Dream. She yawned and stretched for a while as her stomach made a rumble like rhythm, then Angela knew she was garnished. Suddenly, she remembered the envelope she was gi...

                             SISI EKO.                       ✍       Tessy waited anxiously for Abigail's response as she stared at her. Angela panted restlessly like she was pondering hard. "Well, I just hung out with some friends like dat." Angela responded reluctantly. "Friends!? Angela! So you went to catch fun and you just left me hanging like that? It's not fair o!" Tessy lamented. Angela quickly thought of something to say. "Never mind, it was nothing, you didn't miss much." She added. Unsure if this pacified Tessy, however silence followed shortly. "Ehen! Did you hear about the 'DANCE Festival! Oh my gosh! I heard it was something else last night!" Tessy exclaimed. Angela remained silent.  She thought, she had rather just listen than give herself away . "I even learnt a particular Dance Troup..em..I can'...

                       SISI EKO. ✍ By this time, Abigail was virtually upset at Tessy's reaction. "..and can you tell me, madam! why are you laughing?" She asked. Tessy paused and starred at Abigail with disbelief. "Wait o! Did you say Chief and his numerous wives? Is that the reason you are declining his proposal? Aha! Babe..wake up! Chief is wealthy, he is a big boy, he can afford as many wives as he wants and there would be no problem! Please don't miss this opportunity o! Besides you are already like a wife to him, what more?" Tessy stated. "Hmm! Tessy, so what you are telling me is that I should accept Chief's proposal?" Abigail reiterated. Tessy nodded her head in affirmation. Abigail reflected deeply.  She began to weigh her options. Not so sure if she was comfortable with Tessy's advise thus far, she deliberately turned away from the discussion. " So, what would you like to eat? I'm hungr...

                        SISI EKO.   ✍ Abigail remained silent for a while  and this only heightened Tessy's curiosity.  "Well, Chief has asked me to marry him o!" Abigail exclaimed. Tessy starred at her, a bit astonished. "Wait o! Abigail, you said Chief asked you to marry him...and what did you say?" Tessy asked anxiously. "Ah! Tessy, what do you expect me to say? He has given me that condition or I'm on my own." Abigail lamented. "Okay...so what was your response all the same?" Tessy pushed on. "I have told him to give me time."Abigail said. Tessy starred at Abigail sternly. "What is your problem? Abigail, Chief just offered you a long life opportunity to be his own completely and you are still thinking about it!?" Abigail remained silent. "Babe! You just have to accept make all this wahala wey you dey go through end o!" Tessy exclaimed. "...but Tessy, you know I can't ...

                          SISI EKO. ✍ Tessy paid close attention to Abigail whom she thought by now was looking very disturbed.     "So, Abigail, what is wrong? What happened?" Tessy asked anxiously. Then, Abigail handed Tessy a photocopy of the document Chief had given to her.     Quite curiously, Tessy received the document and read through. For a moment, she starred at it like she was trying to make sense of it all.  "Ahan! Abigail, this is a purchase document nau! and this is Chief's name on it! So? " Tessy exclaimed, still trying to comprehend.       "Tessy, that is the purchase document of this entire building you see now!" Abigail said. Tessy became more startled.   "I really don't understand o..the purchase document of this entire building with Chief's name on it, meaning?" Tessy pressed on.    "Tessy, Chief is now the new Landlord here!" Abigail ex...

                                        SISI EKO.                                                                🍃 While Abigail lamented over her present predicament, there was a knock on the Door. Sluggishly, she walked towards the Door and opened it. Tessy cheerfully walked in as she flung herself on one of the cushions.           "Madam, well-done o! So you just went out through out yesterday and you did not even bother to call or text at least to find out if I am still alive?" Tessy said aloud, almost at the top of her voice. Abigail just looked lost. Tessy immediately knew Abigail's mind was engrossed with thoughts. She drew closer and waved her right hand Infront of Abigail's eyes to get he...
