LEAVE THE CHARMING....JUST GIVE ME A PRINCE 2

DISCLAIMER!!!!!! ALL Characters were made Up
Uncle did not stop!!!...
It was on a sunday morning. Aunty ronke woke me up around 4am... She said I had to prepare for church. "Church??!! But aunty service doesn't start until 8am...its a little too early to prepare for church now"...I said!!! "Ronke Ronke!!!Where are you, I am going to put an end to this madness"...said the thick voice! It was Uncle. Immediately, I turned on the light... "Omg!!! Aunty what did that man do to you?" Her face was swollen...obviously,that beast she called her husband had beat her Up! "Aunty,why do u put up with this man? You are rich and well respected...why do u let him treat you like a slave?"...I said angrily!!! I just could not take it! Aunty looked at me and smiles! I couldn't place it! "Aunty,What's funny?...dis man will kill you before your time". "Chi,You can't understand" ...she said!
"Ronke where is the document...I have a right to that house too"...He said! Aunty ronke got up in anger...n said "which house,DID YOUR FATHER GIVE ME ANY MONEY? What do you want from me again? I can not let you ruin my life!!! I just can't". I paused for a while. I really dint know what to do. I remember that aunty ronke spoke highly of her husband... What happened all of a sudden??? I was still thinking when I heard uncles voice again! "Get up,you stupid woman...I am not in the mood for your fainting games". She laid on the floor totally breathless!... "Uncle what have you done...Aunty aunty aunty oooo...ewoooooooo...uncle you have killed her.....somebody help Us oooo"...Before I knew it...He ran away! I had to rush her to the hospital all by myself!
That was how we lost aunty ronke! She told me she had to get married because her parents wanted her to. She was under a lot of pressure...so she had to settle for the available man! She often told me that he wasn't like that from the start! He just changed after marriage! Personally,I don't think that marriage is an institution to be rushed into! ...And mama knows all this ooo....so why is she disturbing me?! I want a prince charming and I know he will come. A man that will understand me... But if he doesn't come....I'll SETTLE FOR A PRINCE NOT AN ANIMAL! Abi what Would you do?????l

daddy's angel

I arrived on campus around 7am on thursday! I am very excited because its my 1st day in school. I did not know what to expect so kept my fingers crossed in expectation of positive results. I walked down the hall to the chemistry class. "Good day class"...I heard a loud voice say! Quickly, I ran and picked the chair beside me! "That must be mr bassie,the very wicked chemistry lecturer aunty kenny told me about!"... While the lecture was on,I felt a tap on my back. Immediately,I turned to see the idiot that wanted to ruin my perfectly ironed white shirt! "Sorry,that's my seat"...the girl with the tiny voice said. "Your seat?,but I dint meet anybody here nah"...I said! "That's my bag on the floor,u probably dropped it while sitting"...she said! With guilt on my face I looked at her n apologised! "Its ok dear,we can share"...she said! ...That marked the beginning of a wonderful friendship!
Princess and I became very close! So close that we even ended up staying in the same hostel! My name is yemi abiola. I am from a family of five! My mum is a petty trader n dad enjoys drinking and coming home late at night. My family is not what you can call a peaceful home. My parents fight as if the world depends on it! Well!!...if u look at things closely,U can say I am from a poor family! Unlike me,princess is an only child! Over pampered with love,care and a lot of money! She lost her mum when she was 6. She often told me that wasn't easy for her dad because he loved her so much! Her dad promised to never marry another woman to avoid hatred or maltreatment! Princess and her dad are so close! He does everything for her! Sometimes I even envy her...I wish my dad could love me like that!
Year one days were very hard...I couldn't afford to do anything! No money for food..let alone books! Thank God for princess in my life! Well,it was more like trade by barter because princess is what you can call a typical olodo! Lol!!!! I help her with her assignments,tests n all... And she feeds me! Well... I know you'll think am a shame less person...but I don't have any choice! As the years passed by,we became closer n closer! Actually, she even refered to me as her bestie!!!
One day, while I was doing my daily chores. Princess rushed in... Yemi yemi yemi!!!! "What is it,why are you screaming my name as if you've seen a ghost"...I said! I noticed the look on her face. She looked very sad. "Princess what is it? Don't tell me you caught that stupid kunle with another girl again"...I said. She looked at me. Her eyes were so red! As red as iya kalid's fresh zobo! I could sense that she had been crying. "Girlfriend,U know that that stupid boy doesn't deserve you. That boy wey be like burnt offering. Babe,you dey fall my hand oooo"...I said. "IT's DADDY"...she said! "Ehn Daddy,what's wrong with him?"... For a while,I imagined that my education had come 2 an end. Princess' daddy is my major means of survival! He can't die on me now!!!!! NO way!! "Can you imagine that daddy wants to marry another wife"...she said!! Gosh!!!! Relief!!!! That was the only feeling I had!! "That's good news na...you no want make your papa chop life???"... I asked! She looked at me wit so much anger. "What do you mean by that?...chop which life? He promised to never leave me...To always love me...and never let any other woman come between Us".
I just started laughing...."Omo daddy"...I said! "Its a normal thing...he needs somebody to do other things with. Don't worry, am sure she's a nice woman"...I said! She looked at me n said..."I know you won't understand. its really complicated!!" "Omo,forget that side!!! Watin you go chop" I asked. "Yemi, YOU DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND...daddy is my lover. he's my first and only. Why does he want to leave me now? Am I not Good enough for him" "EHN!!!! Mogbe"....I jumped out of my seat!!! "What did u just say????? Your lover"..... "ehn"."It all started when my mum died"...she said.

TORN ....2



Wummmm….I ran as fast as my legs could carry me…for a while,I wondered why I dint represent nigeria at the Olympics. I kept running…I still cannot remember how I made it to the ground floor without the elevator. I know I am strong…but never realized the twenty-sixth floor was not so far from the ground. Ooh… I stopped for a while to see if wale was running after me…maybe trying to say he is sorry. Disappointed, I turned back and continued… I couldn’t really explain why…but I just kept running. Hot tears rushed down my checks…how can wale sleep with his cousin? Why dint he chase me? Where did our love affair go wrong? I kept crying…yelling at the top of my voice as I ran like a mad woman.

 Oyingbo oyingbo…oyingbo…it was the voice of a bus conductor…I rushed in with immediate effect…I had to leave…to get home and continue crying… NO WONDER HE DINT INTRODUCE ME TO HIS FAMILY MEMBERS…HE WAS PLAYING ME…WHY DINT I NOTICE? I AM SUCH A FOOL…It took me about 10minutes to realized that my house was in park view estate, ikoyi … I mean, why did I board oyingbo bus from obalande…why did I even board a bus in the first place…after all, I had a car. Owa ooo…I screamed at the conductor. “owa kee…aunty you want make lastma catch me? Abeg abeg,no put san-san for my garri ooo… I no want fashola trouble”…he said. “whats my business…just let me out”…
  
“can you hear me?”…the very smooth and gentle voice asked. I opened my eyes and I noticed I was in a small room…the room was painted in white. I also noticed that the man with the gentle voice wore a white garment. Instantly I screamed, “am I in heaven?”… “haaaaaaaaaah… the man laughed…. “heaven?... why would you think you are in heaven? “haaaaaaah>>>he laughed again… “am sorry to disappoint you but you are in Merryfad hospital…your card here says you fell from a moving bus into a deep gutter  and hit your head. Can you feel any pain around your neck?”… ooooh, it clicked…I must have forced my way out of the moving bus… my god, what was I thinking…what was I even doing in the bus?… the gentle man looked at me and said “I am the doctor incharge of this ward…so you can say I am your doctor…you can call me dewale…doctor wale”. Wale wale wale…that name rang a bell…before I knew it, I had pounced on him like an angry eagle that had to avenge her dead eaglet…I was literarily going to kill him…but the sharp pain I felt on my right knee stopped me. Ok ok, make I no lie…his muscular, big and firm hands held me back.


I wasn’t sure why I attacked him…but I knew the name wale influenced the anger…why was I angry?.. who is wale? I thought about it for a while until the doctor…who dint sound so gentle anymore…called the nurses… and before I knew it…I had dosed off. Doctor dewale helped me in so many ways…he helped me through my recovery stage. Dewale and I became very close friends…he told me how he lost his wife to breast cancer…how helping helpless people like me was the only way he could get over their 6months old marriage. Wale had a lot to say about himself…but I dint. I couldn’t remember anything…just that his name brought me a lot of pain. Soon… I developed feelings for him… I mean…why wouldn’t  i? when he was tall, dark and very handsome… are doctors really allowed to look dis good? wale was just so kind to me…soooo caring…he even offered to give me a room in his house since I had no where to go…I gladly accepted.

Its all coming back to me… you are him…I mean…his twin…

LEAVE THE CHARMING...JUST GIVE ME A PRINCE


 DISCLAIMER ; ALL CHARACTERS WERE MADE UP...
The pressure to get married is just too high… will I create a man that’ll fit my list by myself ? Should I turn into a desperate spinster because my parents want me to get married? What is it about marriage anyways? Is it really worth it? Those were the questions I asked mama when she called me to her usual ‘round table conference’ on this husband issue… “mother, marriage is not for everyone…I’ll be just fine”…those were my exact words before I stormed outta the living room…I am Chineye Amuzu…MD/CEO CHII Oil and Gas ltd…I am an entrepreneur…a successful one at that. I am 29 years old and will turn 30 next month. I’ve never really had luck with men. Most of them seem to be more interested in what I’ve got to offer in bed than what’s in my head… my general assumption is that all men are players…so why waste my time on the so called love when I could make millions with the same time. Next week Saturday is Annene’s wedding…my baby sister . I tried to talk her out of it but she seemed lost. Lost in what she called… love. Tufiakua… olorun maje… love my foot. I don’t believe in fairy tales…at least…not anymore. I mean, why should i? What is there to gain? I’ll just end up with a broken heart. As for me, love and marriage is a NO NO.
“UNCLE PLEASE…UNCLE PLEASE…UNCLE…UN…UNC…”…uncle wouldn’t stop. He just wouldn’t…
 Growing up, for me, was not very easy. My father died when I was eight years old. He left my poor mother with 2 daughters. I happened to be the first girl. Anny, my sister was just about 2years old at the time. Life got harder by the day, we couldn’t survive. I hawked Garri from Monday to Monday...I couldn’t go to school… The suffering just had to end. Months later, GOD sent our saviour…Aunty ronke… Aunty ronke was my mums school daughter back in Jubril martins school, Lagos. She saved us… and took me in. At the time, She was the DVC of The federal university of Technology, Owerri. She offered me an admission to study petroleum engineering… In my third year, I met Micheal.  Micheal was perfect… he had the right words…always knew what to say. Well, to cut the long story short… I lost my virginity to him. I can still remember how he held me…oh micky”… well… it dint end well after all… Then,there was yemi, Thomas, emmamuel, chidi… I can go on and on… All of them… infact, all men… lying bastards.
I lived in the staff quarters with aunty ronke for over 4years… life was good… until he showed up. I heard different stories about him. She often bored me with how romantic her husband was. How he bought her a BMW as an engagement gift. How beautiful their wedding was. In her words; “when dele comes back from Canada, you have to move to the school hostel”. Well I was really indifferent about that until I met him. The so called prince charming stood about 4ft tall…very short man. For a while, I wondered why my beautiful aunt settled for a dwarf…TAAAAAA… Uncle dele wasn’t as sweet and caring as my aunt said he was. I mean, the man nags about… just about everything… they constantly argued… the dining table arrangement even caused a fight once. No wonder she wanted me to go to my hostel…Eweeeee…where did the whole paris gist come from na? looooool… oh,I know… her dreams… where her prince charming existed. Well, if u ask me, love is for children…twsch…
Nothing really prepared me for what was gonna happen… poor aunty ronke…

MY QUESTION IS, DOES THE PERFECT MAN EXIST? WHY WAS AUNTY RONKE LYING ABOUT HER HUSBAND? DO YOU THINK I HAVE ENOUGH REASON TO DECIDE NEVER TO MARRY?
TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK WEDNESDAY...

TORN


Ohh… my head, that was all I could say. My heart was beating fast…faster than globacom bolt’s internet service. Was I dreaming… could it be real???? Shade Shade Shade is that you? Why shade…why? I looked around the small room…the brown leather chair we bought last year December was still there…so was the silk bed sheet he bought on valentine’s day? Wale, how could you?
 It all started in February 2008, “ Good evening miss… can I help you?”…he asked. His voice, deep and very manly… He stood about 6ft 2inches tall, beautiful brown eyes, dark and definitely straight from my dreams. I was shopping with my friends at city mall ,onikan, When I spotted him… he was wearing a black suit… his body was from outta space… he had beautiful pink lips….ahhhhhhh…. “oh hi,” I said. “I am Ola…Olanike Daniels. You look familiar, have we met before?” …he smiled and said “no I don’t  think so,but  I’d like to get to know you… hi, am wale adeniyi”… And that was it, the beginning of a love affair. We were the perfect couple… the perfect pair. Wale thought me a lot of things…gave me all the things I desired. To me, he was the perfect man…my perfect man. Things started to heat up when wale asked me to marry him…ahhhh … it was a beautiful experience. He made me feel like a queen…like he owned the world and he was ready give it to me…
“wale , how could you do this to me… what did I do? Why wale…why…”. All I could think of were the seven abortions I had… my grand-fathers land that I sold to sponsor his masters degree in the UK… How did I become the fool?  How? Why did I not notice? I met shade last year at the Owade’s end of the year party… wale told me she was his cousin. That explained why they had the same surname… Adeniyi.  Shade graduated from unilag and was at that time searching for a job… as a good sister in law to-be,I generously offered her a job at my late dads firm…after al… jones n jones ltd needed a general manager.  Shade and I became instant friends… we were so close,I asked her to be my chief brides maid. She gladly accepted….
So how,  why???? Too many questions running through my mind… what is shade doing in my fiancés bed?WHAT DO YOU THINK WAS GOING ON? WHAT ARE THE SIGNS A WOMAN SHOULD LOOK OUT FOR?
