Bonds Of Destiny by MissTutu(f): 3:18pm On Sep 17, 2013 |
Preface The young man entered the ward the fourth time to check on the woman,luckily enough she was awake,he would be able to converse with her. Imeediately he stepped into the ward,the woman raised her head a little,and stamerred, 'b..b..bode...',before losing consciousness again. God!what was this? He rushed to her with two other nurses and treated her. He silently left the room before she would see him and faint again. He got his car keys and headed home lost in thoughts, was he evil?how can a woman faint just because she saw him?... his mind started raising a million and one questions but there wasn't a single answer. |

On the road,he changed his mind and went to his grandmother's house,he narrated how he met the woman in a mini-mart,smiled to greet her and how she fainted before he could say a word, on mentioning the name of the woman,which he saw in her address book,his grandmother stood up shocked, 'did you say pamela coker??' Femi nodded, 'you know her?' His grandmother slowly took her seat and turned white. 'please when she's fine,tell her Mrs Oriolowo wants to see her'. 1 Like |

Chapter 1 It was a wonderful morning in Lagos,Pamela Coker woke up happy and bright as ever.she was the second ward of Dr. And mrs Coker. Her elder brother David,nicknamed 'pastor' was in his third year in the university of Ibadan,while her younger brother, Michael was in Junior secondary school three(Jss 3). Pamela just finished her SSCE some months back and she was home patiently awaiting her result.being a bright student,she was assured she would come out in flying colours,she loved accounting as a course and she was going to study it in the university. After having her bath that cool morning,she settled down in the sittee to watch tv when she heard a knock on the door,she was startled,no one should come callingbecause her friends knew better than to come visiting early in the morning on a tuesday. She eventually opened the door and was surprised to see her school principal,Mrs Lamuye at the door,Pamela quickly went on her knees and greeted the woma who replied with enthusiasm,which was quite unlike her. Mrs Lamuye asked of her parents and she told her they were off to work.she came with good news and on telling Pamela she went wild with joy. The state government is giving her scholarship throughout her university education because she got nine distinctions in her WAEC examination. She thanked the principal and when she's gone,she called her father's place of work,a private hospital to tell him the good news but she was told that he was busy,she hung up disappointed,she wanted her daddy to be the first to hear about the news. Some minutes later,her father called back and she narrated the whole issues to him.within thirty minutes he was home with his angel,they hugged joyfully before heading to Mrs coker's shop to inform her.later in the evening the whole family went out on a date in celebration of Pam's success. |

* * * * * * * Precisely one week after the principal came to break the good news,Pamela was home alone as usual when the land phone rang,she picked it up and asked who was on the line. ''.....Pamela Coker'',the caller called with cynism, 'this will be your second time of crossing my path and stepping on my toes in life.' Pam was awed and was in a fix as to what the caller,a female,meant, '...the first time you were four years old,i was six,it was the day the president came to the state,i was holding the bouquet of flowers to present to him when you walked in with your father,i could remember him telling somebody some things inaudible and before i knew it i was holding a box of chocolates while you were holding the flowers......Pamela,this is the second time,i've worked so hard to get this scholarship but i ended up with eight distinctions and here you are,taking my position again .....if you don't want to D-I-E,let this be your last time of stepping on my toes.good day'. Pamela was at the point of tears,in her whole sixteen years of existence,no-one has ever addressed her with so much hatred ot to talk of crowning it with the threat of death.death! She silently promised herself never to cross the caller's path again in life,for good or bad. |

* * * * * * The Coker's were sitting in the shed situated behind their mansion,the family meeting would have been complete if not for David who was in school. David...... That reminded Pamela of how the relationship between Sherry,her good friend and secondary school mate and David started,which dated back to a year previous. sherry had came visiting that saturday evening when she met Pam's elder brother who came home for a short period from school, he was in 200level while they were in SSS 2,and that was it. She smiled,David according to him found her smart,beautiful,decent and cool,so he asked if they could be friends and she accepted. Pamela called it a 'child-play' kind of relationship because the duo seldom see. Her father's voice brought her back to reality, he announced to them that Pamela would be going to New York for two weeks to relax with his younger sister over there as a compensation for her hard work and excellent result,Michael too would have loved to go but the father hushed him,he would need to work hard like his sister to earn such a trip. |

Chapter 2 Pamela couldn't contain her joy, though her first time travelling alone, she knew she was in for the best two weeks of her life, she couldn't wait to see aunt Toyin and to have fun overthere. Once in the air,she brought out her novel and started reading, oblivious of who was beside her. Sitting beside her was Bode Oriolowo, a tall, dark and handsome young man,he had been looking at pamela since they entered the plane. After some minutes,he greeted her,she looked up to behold the sexy figure,her heart did a somersault but she maintained her composure and replied his greeting, he asked her what her mission was in new york which she told him,he also told her he was going to oversee some things in his father's company there. They conversed throughout the trip and Pamela forgot her novel but soon as they alighted,the young man's communication skill was impeccable. Pamela soon forgot about him when she ran into the waiting hands of her sister. Bode on the other hand swore to himself never to let the angel called pamela walk out of his sight,ever. |
Re: Bonds Of Destiny by MissTutu(f): 3:13pm On Sep 19, 2013 |
* * * * * * * * After spending a week in New York, Pam got a parcel,it was surprising because she does not even have a single friend in New York,who knew her so well to have sent a parcel. She held the parcel in her hands and was still wondering who it could be when her aunt came out, it was only the two of them in the house because aunt toyin was not married yet,she was there for her master's program. 'hey,lemme see that' It was a box containing flowers,a pink sweater,wristwatch and a pair of earrings,she needed no prophet to tell her how expensive they would be. She told her aunt she knows no one there but can't just place how the sender got her address and name but the sender's name was missing, her aunt just smiled and advised her to enjoy life to the fullest without being sexually polluted,that was her family,they never beat around the bush,anytime there's the issue of an opposite sex,they advise against sex straight. Pamela,keep it cool. She told herself. Two days later,another parcel and a letter was dropped for her by someone named Bode,she wasnt sure of where she had heard the name before,in the letter he asked her out on a date in the evening of the same day and she rushed to tell her sister who told her there was no problem. she was happy and couldnt wait to meet the Bode guy. When it was evening, Pamela wore the pink sweater and wristwatch sent to her by her 'date' and awaited his call,he came to time,7.00pm as stated in the letter and it was when he got to the doorstep that she remembered were and how they met. Bode took her to a classic restaurant and did proper introductions,she asked how he got to know where she was staying and she was awed when he told her he told the driver to follow she and her aunt home that day she arrived. According to him,he was a 300 level student in the university of illorin,kwara state,studying mechanical engineering,the only son of late chief Oriolowo,a multi-millionaire as pamela knew the late man to be. she also talked about herself and that she also chose uniilorin in jamb and hopes to get admitted there. After much ado,they exchanged phone numbers,he dropped her off but not without gently kissing her hands,she felt on top of the world and he left her feeling so when he drove off. Apart from being her first date,it was a wonderful experience. |

Chapter 3 Sherry got to the hall on saturday morning,thanking God she didn't meet Pamela at home,she wouldn't have known how to face the girl,what was she going to tell her anyway? She sighed and helped herself to a packet of biscuits with milk before jumping on the bed and recalling how the whole David saga went. She had set out on friday afternoon to visit David in his school without telling him beforehand,if she had told him he might discourage her from coming and she just had to see him before she would lose her mind,it's been ages since they saw last and if he wasn't missing him,she was. It was their first semester in 100 level so work wasn't too much coupled with the fact that it was a weekend. Sherry got to David's hall in the evening and David was,as expected,was surprised to see her,she jumped at and hugged him tight which he returned when he got over his initial shock of seeing her,he also missed her but had no idea she would come visiting. He introduced her to his roomie,Dayo,who greeted her enthusiastically before leaving the room. After Dayo left,femi excused himself to get her something to eat and told her to freshen up while he was away.after some time he was back and they chit-chatted till about 7.00pm when he took her sight-seeing. While they strolled,his mind got busy,he loved sherry but the idea of her coming over didn't appeal to him,he has never slept in the same room with the opposite sex and just how he would handle the issue,he didn't know. On getting to the room he noticed his room mate has packed necesary things for the night,he was sleeping at another person's room to allow them some privacy,he sighed. After much talk, they settled to sleep,sherry changed into a night wear that left nothing to the imagination and which David did a great job ignoring,he said prayers and turned on his side to sleep,backing sherry. She couldn't sleep all night,she expected him to at least do something,she wondered if she had no appeal... At about 1.00am,she nuzzled close to David,pretending to be cold,after some time he responded,she was so happy when he started kissing her but her joy was shortlived when he stopped dead in his track and removed his hands from under her garment. Confused she pulled him closer but he moved back, 'what happened Dav.' 'i'm sorry,but i don't wonna sin against God,i can't do this' do what?she wondered,he couldnt even kiss her?gross. Very early the next mroning she left and came back to school,fighting back tears in the car she boarded,what was the big deal in David making love to her anyway?. |
Re: Bonds Of Destiny by MissTutu(f): 5:07pm On Sep 21, 2013 |
* * * * * * * * Pamela laughed as Bode said something funny,it was a cool evening and they were out on one of their numerous dates,Bode was gradually finding his way into her heart if he he wasnt there already,though she already said yes to his proposal,she never knew any guy could make her come out of her hard shell and feel love,it was heavenly. She loved his sense of humour,the way he made her feel like she was the most precious thing in the whole world....wow. Ever since the first day she set her foot on campus,bode had always been around her to help her,during her registration,he even introduced her to some of his friends who were in the same department with her so they could help her out anytime she needed help academically. They were the talk of the campus,while some people cherished their relationship,others blamed Pamela for rushing into things so quickly,how old was she by the way?. She's been hearing rumours here and there,there was even a time her friends called her and told her she was taking things too far,they claimed that somebody saw them in night class kissing,and PDA was something they hated,it made a girl look uncultures but she didnt care, bode's love for her and her's for him was all that mattered to her, moreover she was still her brilliant self, let them say!. She was having a swell time with her lover, she knew many people were jealous of them and that made her walk on clouds,there was a day they wore the same blue coloured t-shirt to the school cafetaria,girls were jut looking at them,one of them shot her a murderous look but she didnt even entertain the thought any further or give it any meaning ,jealous things. |

Chapter 4 Second semester 100 level was soon coming to an end, you know that means its exam period,everybody got serious,Pam has always been serious though,but she read harder, she saw Bode less often. She was on her way home from the library one evening when she met a beautiful,fair girl, the girl had disgust plastered on her face,pam was alarmed,who could she be? After a short eye battle,she identified herself as bode's girlfriend and warned pamela severely to leave her boyfriend alone,she said it with so much hatred and authority she almost trembled and couldn't say a word. Pamela couldnt belief what she heard,she ran to her hall crying,she narrated the issue to sherry who after a little petting advised her to confront bode. * * * * * * * * she called bode and told him they needed to see,he chose a shed close to her hall and she agreed. On seeing him,she broke into fresh sobs,he was confused,bode asked her what was wrong and she blurted out, 'how could you do this to me?so you were dating another girl all along and you kept on deceiving me..' bode knelt at her feet and started apologizing, then he explained to her that he wasn't double-dating but that he kept numerous girlfriends before meeting her and that immediately after meeting her,he broke off with them. He asked for the description of the girl and when Pam told him he said her name is stella,he had something serious rolling with her before but that has ended when he met Pamela. Stella was his only problem,she knew him in and out,and even has a stand with his family. He apologised to Pamela for keeping such a huge thing from her,then gathered her in his arms. |

Chapter 5 Say cheese!!,the photographer said, sounds of cameras filled the air, people were jubilating,it was a great day. Pamela was in a pink short gown with cream beads embroided at the neck region, she wore black heels and held a black clutch purse,she stood close to Bode who was smilling broadly while they took photographs. 'my parents are around dear,let's go over to meet them'.bode announced, Pam was a little bit scared,she was meeting Bode's parents,so soon. when they got close to the car,she saw four people alight from the black jeep,an elderly man and woman who she guessed were bode's parents,a tall young lady and a man. Bode hugged his parents and sister and prostrated for the second man,a family friend,before introducing Pam to his parents, the woman greeted her happily and the man also greeted her,she knelt and greeted them properly. When she greeted the lady she later got to know as Farayola, she answered through her nose,Pam was taken aback but quickly got over it. Farayola looked at the young lady from the corner of his her eyes and couldnt help but feel a pang of jealousy,she couldnt be more than 18 years of age,and here was she,she'l be clocking 30 the next month with no sign of a serious man forthcoming.what a life!. After some pleasantries,she got to know some things about bode's family before the day's activities were over,she went to sherry and they went back to the hall together. |

Chapter 6 On getting home,pam broke down in tears,there's nothing more frustrating than what had just happened to her,bode's sister not accepting her,she wants her man's whole family to love her,was that too much to ask??.she now understood what the term 'heartbreak' meant. Sherry just hugged her and let her cry on her shoulders,talks don't matter much here. ** Bode couldn't blame her sister for the looks she gave Pam,it was understandable,but though his mum smiled and seemed to receive Pam well,he knew she kind of likes Stella more.but that wouldnt be a problem,he would make them like Pam too,even more than Stella,because they would be seeing not more but all of Pam now. Before they were mobilized,Bode invited Pam over to come and greet his parents again,which she did after initially declining the offer,the meeting wasnt the best you've seen but it was okay.just okay. |
Re: Bonds Of Destiny by pearlyn(f): 7:48pm On Oct 03, 2015 |
Chapter 7 It goes without saying,Stella hated Pamela,with the whole of her being,she didnt know whether Pamela was sent to her or she was just wickedly wicked.this was there third encounter,and she swore to herself never to let it go. She wiped her tears and dressed up for Mrs Oriolowo's house where she is ever welcome. *** Bode was posted to Rivers state for his service,its been a few months and Pam was already losing her mind,she was missing him beyond description. Immediately after her exams,she decided to go visit bode,she called home and gave excuses of different assignments and projects needing her attention in school and that she wont be able to make it home,her parents accepted and told her how much they'll miss her.That settled, she packed her stuffs for Rivers state. |
Re: Bonds Of Destiny by pearlyn(f): 8:00pm On Oct 03, 2015 |
Okay,you know bode will definately jump for joy on seeing the love of his life,practically.they had a swell time,went out to different places,took pictures,he took her out to meet his new friends and all that. On the night preceeding her departure date,they couldnt sleep early,they talked and talked,they professed their love for eachother over and again,they hugged,cried,and kissed,Pam couldnt belief she was going to leave Bode again,but duty calls,school and his own work too,he had to concentrate. Just when she was about drifting off to sleep she felt the wetness of his lips on her's,she felt tingling all over,then the gentle touch of his hands on her body,and ultimately the welcome intrusion in her purple tank top,she returned his kisses in the same measure and when he began undressing her,she knew she has lost her virginity already,no going back. 1 Like |

Chapter 8 Pam went back to school the next day and decided to use the remaining part of the short break to study for the new semester. The next month she missed her flow,she didnt think nothing of it as she didnt know how it really works but a certain part of her brain raised an alarm....when the story repeated itself just as school resumed the following month,she told bode about it,then panic set in,he totally forgot to use protection as they were caught up in the spur of the moment.Pam was pregnant. *** She can't belief she was so stupid,didnt know what hit her,she;pregnant?despite all her shakara...people wont even belief she has even had her first kiss,it was all overwhelming,she cried day and night and couldnt go for lectures regularly anymore,sherry was the most helpful to her too,always soothing her. She cut off all means of communication with her parents as she cant bear to break such news of disappointment to them. |

Chapter 9 Bode was at sea,he loves Pamela with all his being but how was this pregnancy to be dealt with.There was his future,his mum,friends and a host of people he must not disappoint. Telling Pam to terminate the pregnancy wasnt even an option,he decided to damn the consequences and take the right steps. A few weeks later he went home and explained everything to his mum who after blowing hot calmed down,realising that the deed had already been done.she told him she will take care of Pam till delivery which made Bode very happy. ** Pam left school when the pregnancy was beginning to show and begged sherry not to tell her parents her whereabouts,all efforts by sherry to make her see things the other way were abortive. Bode arranged for Pam to be relocated to his mum's house and after considering her decisions and the way she's so against contacting her parents,the Oriolowo's decided to respect her wish. |
Re: Bonds Of Destiny by pearlyn(f): 12:41am On Oct 06, 2015 |
**** when she was due for delivery,Mrs Oriolowo made known her desire for the baby to be delivered overseas,as this has been her dream,bode was happy about it and arrangements were made,they all travelled out of the country few days to Pam's delivery,all were joyful,pamela too started lighting up as things were not going as bad as she has envisaged,though getting to know Bode's mum wasn't on the best of notes,she was still grateful that the woman accepted her at last. **just before Pam's delivery Bode was called in Nigeria for a very important business meeting,hw tried all means possible to avoid leaving but could not help it,he had to leave Pam in the care of his mum,and what's worse,he won't be there for Pam during delivery,he was very sad to leave but his mother promised to take care of his 'wife'. |
Re: Bonds Of Destiny by pearlyn(f): 12:57am On Oct 06, 2015 |
Chapter 9 Pamela Coker opened her eyes and couldnt see anybody around her,no food items around too,she checked around her bed for her baby but she found none,she was getting alarmed and began sitting up when Bode's mum entered the ward,Pam was about asking questions when the woman adviced her to save her breathe,she explained that Pam gave birth to a stillborn and that she has immediately made arrangement to bury the baby as she didnt want her seeing such a tragedy,Pamela was going crazy,tears began flowing from her eyes uncontrollably,Mrs Oriolowo sat down beside her and comforted her... After much ado,Pam asked if they could leave for home as she has accepted her fate,and she asked whether Bode was back and if the news has been broken to him,Mrs Oriolowo breathed deeply and placed her hand on Pam's shoulder,she explained how Bode was so sad and disappointed about the occurence and she communicated to Pam that bode has no further intentions with her,bode wants out,he wants Pam not to see him or call him again. Her whole world came crashing right in front of her,it was all just so unbeleivable,she got up to start going home when the woman sai they can't go home together,as that will be against her son's wish,saying all these,she left Pam in the hospital. She watched the retreating figure of the mother of that man that made her a woman,the man she gave her all to,the only man that made her sin against everything in her world without forcing her,all she felt for Bode at that point was hatred in its purest form,and anger,at God and the universe,so nine months was just a waste?her career that she left for this baby-course to a waste?her family that she shut out,her education,her very high gp.all was..........she stopped the thoughts ,gathered herself and left the hospital for nowhere at all,knowing no one in the country she was in.......she just kept on walking. 1 Like |
