Must Read: A SECOND CHANCE - Season 2 - Episode 38

‘Rhoda,i want you to prepare a special meal for dinner tonight’ Maria said as she handed her schoolbag to Rhoda.
‘okay’ Rhoda replied.
Maria smiled ‘i have something for you Rhoda, come on, lets go to my room’
Maria and Rhoda went into the room. Maria opened her wardrobe qnd brought out a shopping bag and gave it to Rhoda.
‘thank you Maria’ Rhoda said, all smiles.
‘you are welcome. Its just a little token for taking good care of me all this while,’ she hugged her ‘i love you Rhoda. You are like a sister i never had’
Rhoda smiled and left.
Maria was a good girl, she knew that. Just that sometimes, some nuts get loose in her head. Some times, she would be so selfish and annoying she would feel like strangling her to death.
But Maria was nice really, for a spoilt brat like her

With tears in her eyes, Alice alighted from the bike, paid the bikeman without bothering for her change. She got to the front of Gilbert’s apartment, then stopped. After a few seconds, she knocked heavily on the door as if she wanted to bring it down.
A young girl, dressed in a school uniform, Maria’s school, opened the door. She would have that Gilbert dated small girls as well if the girl didnt bear a resemblance.
The girl had a frown on her face. ‘who are you?’ she asked in a not-too polite manner, maybe still angry with the way Alice knocked.

‘who are you to him?’ she asked.
‘hey hey, dont ask me that. Just go and call him, whoever he may be to you’ Alice replied angrily.
‘and who are you to talk to me like that eh? I see you are jobless, first you wanted to bring down this door and now you think you can order me around? Hahahaha, you lie’ Abby snapped and hissed.

Alice eyed the girl and just hissed. God knows one more word from the girl might end her in the hospital, she was going to make sure of that.

It seems like she should just go back to her crazy self. If only she had been crazy like before, Maria would not have been able to count how many times she had ended up in the hospital, coupled with the fact that she loved Maria……and of course Tony.
‘just call Gilbert for me’ she said.

The girl hissed ‘oya wait. Let me call him for you’ as the girl closed the door, she thought she heard the girl mutter ‘ashawo’
Alice ignored her. But heaven and hell knew that she will end it all today. Its either she dies or Gilbert dies, one must happen today. She touched her stomach and prayed the baby remained safe, for the action that was going to happen. She opened her purse, and looked at the 9mm there and smiled inwardly, though she still had tears….
