________________________________________ The time was 8:30am and Serena knew it would take ten minutes before her father leaves the house nad she needed to talk to him. She walked out of her room towards her father's room with her heart pounding hard against her chest in such a way that anybody standing before her could see how blood is being pumped from her broken heart. Why won't her heart be broken? She is binded together by blood with her parents and brothers, their hearts are well connected and she knew it because at times, one of them could deduce what was going on in the minds of the other family members. A practical example of such was when Nathaniel came home from school when no one was expceting and when asked why he decided to embark on such journey, he said he was having a strange feeling that something is not right with the family he left in the city of Ibadan and truely, two days later, his parents were seperated by a court in Ibadan. Everything is wrong with her family and mere knowing how it all started is enough reason for her heart to be broken. She knocked gently on the door and the next second, her father's voice thundered. "Yes, who's there?" Her heart almost flew out of her chest, the broken pieces to be precise. In the last few weeks, her father had turned to be something else. Mere hearing him talk is enough reason for her to start feeling all jittery. "Its me dad." She stammered. "Come in." She gently turned the door knob and pushed the door open. "Good morning sir." She greeted going down on her knees like a typical yoruba woman would do to the elders. A tradition that has lived for thousands of years to an extent that, the failure to greet an elder properly, either by going down on their knees, in terms of the ladies or prostrating when it comes to the men, such a person would listen to the story of how his/her father was given birth too, even how he made it through farming or how he travelled to Lagos in search of greener pastures. "Why weren't you at the morning devotion?" He asked. She wanted to leave her father's room that moment because she wasn't prepared to answer questions about her refusal to show up during the morning prayers because she had no excuse. "I..err...I.." She stammered while her father was looking at her amusingly, probably having fun as he watched her speak gibberish. Why am I even afraid of this man? Serena asked herself, but she couldn't answer her own question. "Do you know the importance of praying together as one family? With one heart?" Her father asked. "No, you don't." He replied himself. "I was too tired to wake up." She managed to reply. "The same excuse your mother used to give. Her failure to be binded in the spirity with this family was the begining of our problems, but I won't talk about that today." She hate it, when the issue of her mother is being discussed with no one talking from her mother's perspective. She hate it when everyone is castigating her mother without anybody taking into consideration, the reason why her mother behaved in that manner. But right now is not the time to support her mother, because she needed help and she must do everything to please the man before her. "So, what brings you here?" He asked finally. "Daddy, my exam is in two weeks and I have decided to sign up for a CBT exam training where I can familiarise with the way questions are answered." She replied. "Do you have up to two weeks before your exam day?" "Nine days to be precise." She replied, at least, she was gaining ground. "And what will you learn under nine days? And its not even a twenty four hours per day programme, maybe an hour or two. You want to learn how to operate computers?" "I mean, how to answer the questions, you know its quite different from paper exam." Serena replied. One of the reasons why having an educated father is disadvantageous. He tends to know everything including things that you yourself don't know. "The tutorial centre belonged to JAMB or is it private owned?" Her father asked. "Private sir." "Good, you'll go there today with you laptop and buy the exam software, you'll install it on you system and practice with it here at home." Her father said counting wards of Naira notes from his bedside drawer. "That's five thousand naira. It should be enough. I'll call a cabman to take you to and fro. See you later." With this, her father picked his suitcase and made it out of the room leaving her behind. Now she understood what was going on. Her father didn't want any of them closer to their mother which was why he made sure Nate was driven to school and now, she would also be driven to the tutorial centre where she intend to buy the exam software. She walked dejectedly out of her father's room. --to be continued-- 2 Likes 1 Share |

[b]Good Morning Nairalanders, I've got a real discussion with you guys and I want your cooperation, you all know that many writers in this literature section are really vexed with us right now simply because we are selfish. Plagiarism rate on NL is becoming alarming and we can't do nothing about it, writers are sacrificing there work being plagiarised and their precious time to satisfy us and we are not paying them for it, but princesa has taking that upon herself and all we just have to do is Vote. Let's show this people love, maybe writers like myself and Tiffany would give it a second thought about not posting our work in here anymore. I know we can all do it, we are not selfish and we will show this writers that we love them more than they can ever imagine. If you haven't go voted for the best writer of the month and the best newcomer in the awards thread. Just go over there and type, I vote tiffany- best writer and I vote Kinwayne for the best newcomer, these are the writers of my choice and you are all free to vote for the writer of your choice. Note: We cannot reward this people for the entertainment their giving us but we can very much award them and that what we are gonna do. Thanks ya'll in anticipation, your vote counts ![]() |
