Tomorrow - Episode 1 Tomorrow Pregnant??  "No am not pregnant", this were the exact words of Rose to her mother and those that noticed the changes in her behaviour. Her widow mother who was a trader took her round their  small village in Rivers State meeting with different groups of elders for them to plead with her daughter who was 18years to confess if she was pregnant but she still denied it.     At some point she was giving breathing space but it was done on her when she could not hide the pregnancy any longer. The baby bumps answered all the questions that required answers. Rose only had to tell them who was responsible for the pregnancy which she did with head bowed down because she has dissapointed many people that had so much confidence in her and used her as a model that their children should emulate because of her homely and academic qualities coupled with her beauty.      Dasa, Rose mother could not send her out because she was a vi...

All In The Name Of Love – Episode 25 Cynthia knocked on Uche’s door for several times before she was being asked to come in. She opened the door and walked in majestically to have her seat. She crossed her legs over the other while looking at Uche like a hungry lion who just sees a pray. She was ready to attack without any consideration if Uche was not ready to succumb to her will. Uche turned down the volume of his deafened home theater, and sat directly opposite of Cynthia. The appearance of Cynthia was not an impromptu to him. He has been expecting her visitation, and he was ready to maintain his stand and prepared for the worst. They both gazed at each other out of phobia for they didn’t know the plan of oneself for each other. “Could you just tell me what happened yesternight?” Cynthia asked to break the silence. “Happened? As in?” Uche replied, squeezing his face to show that he didn’t understand her. “Why did you drop and off your phone when we were not yet done with o...

All In The Name Of Love – Episode 24 Shade’s mother quickly covered her friend’s mouth with hands. “What now? Our children are around now. You just shouted like that. Is there anything special in that?” Shade’s mother said, and returned to her seat. Tunde’s mother gazed at her friend weirdly. She never thought such suggestion could come from her friend’s mouth. So, mama Shade also has no human feelings; she is so rigid and heartless. She thought. “But, why did you think eliminating them is the best option?” “I want you to understand something…all what have been doing are not done because of myself, but you and your son. Didn’t you know that I will not be able to sleep whenever you’re in trouble. Your problem is my problem. And beside, come to think of it, if the girl is not eliminated, didn’t you know that she could cause problem for either my sons or yours accidentally? And you know how deadly the implication is. God forbid bad things. Precaution is better than cure.” Tund...

All In The Name Of Love – Episode 23 Tunde’s mother entered the sitting room and beckoned her to come closer to her. Shade stood up and Shade’s mother who was exonerating herself on the reason why she couldn’t check on Tunde paused when Shade and Tunde’s mother surfaced. She faced Shade and said “Why did you stay behind? Or didn’t I tell you the reason why we are here?” Shade kept mute with her head bowed, trying to avoid eyes contact with both Tunde and her mother. “Please leave my wife alone o.” Tunde’s mother said and then faced Shade “Shade, don’t mind your mother jawe. That’s how she does. Just come and stay beside me here.” She added. Shade’s mother smiled. “Shade, how far? Hope you were not maltreated?” Tunde asked in low voice. “Not at all. I’m fine. What about you? Hope you’re now very much okay?” Shade reciprocated shyly. “I’m very much okay. I’ve said I won’t forgive you for not checking on me on until when mummy told me what happened to you. Hope you’re good?” “Ye...

All In The Name Of Love – Episode 22 “Tunde, Tunde, Tundeeeee.” She called his name continuously while looking every nook and cranny of his room but no response was heard. She felt like hitting him when he later saw him coming out of the toilet, with his earphones on, receiving a call. She beat him with weird look but which Tunde was less concerned. “What’s wrong with you? Didn’t you hear I was calling you?” Tunde’s mother said angrily to Tunde who removed the earphones to hear what his mother was saying. “I was in the toilet when you called, and it’s not hygienic to be talking while in toilet.” “It’s not hygienic to be talking while in toilet, but you could receive call in toilet, right?” Tunde kept mute and sat on his bed with his head bowed. His mother was somehow frustrated. She stood motionlessness for a moment, looking at him forlornly. She took a deep breath, and then walked gently to him. She sat beside him and threw her arm across his neck, petting him… “What’s reall...

All In The Name Of Love – Episode 21 Tunde’s mother woke up in the middle of the night and headed to Tunde’s room to check if he was fine. She was very comfortable with the way she met him, but the resonance of her heartbeat was deafening and one could hear every spurt of blood that ran through her arteries when she later remembered her last conversation with Cynthia… “Struggle still continues. It is not over until it’s over. But, let’s discuss about the one we have done successfully before talking about the next move.” “I’m lost. Could you just cut out the chase and take me out of this darkness? Which struggle again?” “Calm down ma. It’s not a serious issue as you wanna take it. Only that money will be needed to carry out the job. This job as to be done to cover any leakage that might likely to surface in the nearest future. But before that, let’s talk on the just concluded one.” ********* ********** ********** “Could you just come back and let’s discuss about the precaution...
