Sophie had been waiting all day,it was 4pm already, it wasn’t normal for mike not to check on her, he was always the first person to check on her evryday but today was different. To worsene the situation a nurse had been checking on her all day, she wanted to ask the nurse questions abut mike she decided not to create suspicion.

She had managed to eat her food, she lost all hope when it was 9.30pm, she heard a knock but that wasn’t Mike way of knocking she thought
come in she said
Get yourself ready we will be going home in less than 3omins time. Henry said and walked out. Few minutes later they got home,
Sophie was feeling dizzy that she couldn’t even take note of the changes around her, she headed straight to her room were she fell
asleep.
*************
Hope you got that perfume priscillia asked
I won’t forget it for anything in the world Omoye said. Omoye had just returned from Dubia, she had gone to get somethings for her business. They sat in the garden gisting about different things. Ehis walked up to them and greated.

Good afternoon aunty prisci
Afternoon dear.

Ehis was Omoye first son, he had just finished sec school, he was well dressed in his white native attire.

Son are you going out? Omoye asked
yes mum Ehis replied

priscillia:are you done with your waec?

Ehis; yes ma, 2weeks ago.what of sophie i haven’t seen her for a year?

Priscillia;Emm…*Ehis cuts her short, please tell her am missing her o.see you later mum, he left*
Omoye continued the gist but Priscillia answered in a way Omoye noticed she was no longer interested

Omoye : dont tell me you are thinking about her

Priscillia; she is still my daughter

Omoye : you have to move on with your life, getb married and stop dwelling in your past.Cant you see they are better off without you

Priscillia : I won’t do that, i will wait for 2months if Sophie dosent show up I will go and drag her from lagos myself.

Omoye sighed, if there was one thing she hated her friend for is her stubbornness.

Sophie woke up feeling very hungry, she stretched her body lazily, all she wanted was to confront Sandy for not paying her a visit at all
She knocked for the umpteenth time but got the shocker of her life when she opened the door, there wasn’t even a thing that showed someone once occupied the room. Everywhere was empty, Sandy had left

Why did she have to treat me this way, I thought we were friends she actually left without telling me.She left for the kitchen to make herself breakfast, she returned to the dining were she placed her breakfast of toasted bread and fried egg, she got up to get a drink from the fridge, a paper fell down
Get ready you will be leaving for the state tomorrow. It was Henry’s handwriting.

tears had already started their job on her face
I need to see phillip and Florence before i leave,she lost her appetite. She hurriedly ran to her room where she took a quick bath.

Just as she got downstairs she saw two hefty men
where are you going? the short dark one asked
good morning, who are you?

We are your body guards they both chorused

Sophie; am going out

Bodygaurd: your dad said you shouldn’t leave the house.

Sophie; please let me go, I won’t take time you can come along if you want

Bodygaurd:just get inside now, you wan make i loose this job wey I suffer get, you know say things hard.

Sophie continued pleading but all turned deaf ears, the second one didn’t even say anything he only stared at her lustfully.She ran back inside as tears dropped non stop.

**********

Phillip had been a shadow of himself the past few days, he ate only once in a day reluctantly, his mum had become extremely worried about her son.He had regreted not collecting the nurse number at the hospital,he decided to check on Sophie at home even if it means putting himself in danger she’s worth anything. he opened his door to find his mum by the door

I was about knocking mrs dim said
okay, am going out
you have a visitor Phillip
Who he asked his heart beat faster hoping it will be Sophie
Bernice, she’ s waiting for you in the living room.

okay he said sadly and went downstairs.

Immediately Benny saw Philip she hugged him happily, but phillip wasn’t in the mood
What is it?

Phillip : nothing

Benny; please don’t lie to me

Philip : I was on my way out, if you are looking for someone to talk to you can meet Dora she is in her room.

He left quickly to avoid her questions. Benny couldn’t prevent the tears from falling
Why does he have to treat me this way, that Sophie should die in that hospital she said angrily.
