__________________________________________

The greatest cheat on earth will find it difficult to cheat nature, not because nature is cheat resistant, but because nature is life, and the moment you try to cheat nature, you are cheating life as a whole. I just doesn't add up, people trying to stay awake all night. Despite the sudden absence of her father, her brother and the gateman the previous day, Serena still one way or the other fell into deep sleep at a time.
Waking up early this morning, she woke up to the emptiness of the house.
"Abi rapture don sound ni?" Serena asked herself as she walked up to the living room, switched on the tv, hoping to find a giant headline. "Miracle: people gone missing."
The first channel, an Oyo state owned television station wouldn't start broadcast until 7am, she checked the National television, the Ibadan zone, they were broadcasting a breakfast show. She checked a few private owned tv stations, while one was showing British movies, the other was showing musical videos.
"Even early in the morning? Films and music?" She thought as she switched on the decoder, connected it with the tv and picked up the remote.
"Why am I doing this?" She asked herself.
"You want to check CNN, BBC and Aljazeera maybe everyone in earth had gone missing." A voice in her subconscious replied.
"You are just so dumb." She screamed at the voice as she dropped the remote control.
"I belong to you. When you talk, I talk, when you sleep, I sleep. I am dumb cos you are." The voice replied with a laugh.
Serena felt like hitting herself hard on the head. Who talk to their subconscious and get replied? Was there even anything like that? You asking yourself question and a voice within you answering.
She concluded it has to be some mind stuffs and the way we see life in general. A man once said, "The world has no ceilling or a fence enclosing it, the world has no limit. The only limit that exist, exist in our minds." The same way when you ask yourself, am I going to pass this exam and a voice within you which belonged to you, a voice that does everything the way you want it, acts on your command and whatever it is that is in your mind, the voice dwells with it. The same voice of yours that speaks with fellow human speaks to you within, says you won't pass, then you surely would fail that exam or be a step away from passing which still means failure.
Just then, the door into the living room opened and Dave strolled in like nothing happened.
"Hey sis." He said as he sat on a nearby couch.
"Good morning." She replied calmly.
"Did you sleep well?" He asked.
"Where are you coming from?" She asked.
"What?.... What do you mean?" He replied.
"You didn't sleep in this house last night, did you? Same with dad."
"Oh! That?" He exclaimed more like waving off her question.
Serena stood in front of him, arms akimbo.
"I'll be going out in an hours time. Could you fix a quick breakfast for me? Am sure you can." With this, Dave gently pushed her out of his way.
"Dave!" Serena screamed loudly.
Dave stopped in his tracks, turned to face his sister.
"I asked you a question. We need to talk. Where did..." She was saying.
"I am tired." He mouthed before walking away.
Serena watched as her elder brother disappeared into the hallway.
"What's going on again?" She asked herself as she made for the kitchen.
------------------------------------------
"Listen to me Wole, this is not the end of the world, you have to take back Anita. She is still the mother of your children. Your lawfully wedded wife, your other half, the bone of you bone, the flesh of your flesh." Mama Londoner said.
"Mama, I am not taking Anita back. I will take care of my children myself. Moreso, they are old enough to know what is right. The best that could happen is Anita coming to visit them, and nothing else." Mr Oluwole Thomas replied, he was lying on the hospital bed after he suffered a relapse of his ailment which almost led to a cardiac arrest if not for the quick intervention of Dave and his gateman.
"I am not categorically in support of the divorce in the first place and I am not in support of you taking Anita back. But I want us to make this family stronger. Wole, you know I don't like Anita, I don't need to tell you how much. " Mama paused.
"But, please for the sake of me as old as I am, leaving the comfort of my home last night to be with you here, take back you wife." Mama pleaded.
"Mama, but." Wole was saying.
"sshhhhh! We make sacrifices. If Anita should leave, many things are at stake. I am your mother, I can't push you into danger. Make this sacrifice because of your little girl, and believe me, you'll be glad you did. Just call off the divorce."
