LOGINHome has become a nightmare;love and marriage overrated. This was not what she settled for but having found herself living through a daily series of physical and emotional pain, she tries to salvage whatever is left of the home that crumbled before it even started;while doing the only thing that gives her fulfilment. On-Loved is a story of giving out genuine love in totality and receiving nothing in return.
View MoreDANNI couldn't concentrate, he'd been pacing back and forth in his office,he sank into the chair looking more frustrated than he'd been in the last few hours. The wrinkles on his forehead became even more visible, spreading out like tiny branches until they got lost in his hairline. The meeting ended about an hour ago,he was barely even there. His thoughts were scattered all over the place and he couldn't seem to get a hold of himself. More than once a sigh had unconsciously escaped his lips,drawing the attention of everyone that was present.Thankfully the meeting finally ended and he was back at his office. A small wooden plaque sat at the right corner of the large table with the inscriptions "Dan Eniola" Admin. Head. This wasn't the first time he'd lost control and used his fists on her. It was already becoming a habit,but this time he'd gone too far. Sh
IT took a lot of effort to get my eyelids to part ways, for a while it felt like they were glued shut.I had never felt so much pain at once...every breath and the slightest movement released a different level of pain.The strong smell of disinfectants andmethylated spirit gave the entire place a sick feeling, i was still struggling between unconsciousness and reality when the blurred image sitting in front of me became a little more visible.It took another minute for my senses to begin their functions properly again. This time i was aware that i was laid on the bed in my room.Ara held a washcloth which looked like it had been in use for the past few hours, came closer and gently placed her free hand lightly on my forehead. "You're awake, finally. How're you feeling?" She didn't seem like she wanted me to answer the quest
I woke up to a strange noise and careful feets,it was more like someone was quietly entering the bedroom, the reality that i could be in danger took away all trace of sleep from my eyes.I was still contemplating on either shouting or remaining still on the bed and pretend to still be fast asleep,i was yet to come to a conclusion when the figure came into view and turned on the lights."Danni,for heaven sake you scared life out of me, i must have fallen asleep while waiting for you to get back.Where have you been?" I realized my heart had been beating three times faster initially, i was out of breath and i had to slow down while waiting for his answer. He turned towards the dresser,unbuttoning his still neat and ironed sleeves carefully, "sorry,you can go back to sleep" i checked the time it was already past 2a.m,i knew better than to annoy him further at this time but i wasn't going to settle for a one word apology foll
The darkest hour usually comes before dawn,but it depends on what everyone thinks of their dawn to be. For me dawn means leaving this pit full of enclosed darkness and hurt-home- and finding my way to work at the wake of each morning. Daycare 'n' Nurseries was established by a London based Nigerian and her husband,as an alternative source of earning.As at when Danni and i moved into the environment they needed a caretaker before traveling out again, the offer was everything i had always wanted. Presently, there are two other staffs working with me-Mrs.Kate who's widowed with grownup kids,always willing to help even with her age,and twenty two years old Vera,the sweetest,ever smiling little nanny anyone could find- and a total of seventeen kids. It was a few minutes past seven when i arrived work,another advantage of having Ara around,she'll nag me into allowing her take care of chores. Fro
