Chapter 28 - CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT : STELLA II

(Wednesday the 22nd of September)

Good morning Nigeria, my name isss and today being the second day of the week, a Tuesday we.

*shit* I said as I raised my upper body from the bed I was so, tired after yesterday's drama. I mean what is wrong with women, always fainting in unexpected places and situations.

God, I do not want to think about that experience, like what! God, I was stressed out from yesterday's work.

This actually reminded me of Lagos, come to think of it this was actually the same story with those girls then.

They all have the history of having to loss their memory, why?, it's like the same the happening all over again but this time it's happening around me.

I went to the bathroom and lured cold water on my face, it was hard. What is going on?, I still don't understand, okay I am confused, so I picked up my phone and called habiba.

*shit* it was still 3:45am what will I say to her, I quickly cut the phone call, and switched off my phone, it was a sacrifice I was ready to make. Well the both girls were stabilized and gotten out of the firm, but what a weird incident tho, like two girls who had memory problems see each other and they both fainted, wow I think that is new wordy if it's not news already.

The boss had no choice but to allow us try to figure out what happened there yesterday even if her mind was totally against it, well that's another story for another day I guess but today is work day.

I can remember the day before yesterday what happened with the boss and the guard, but still fake news about the incident what still going on, around five in the evening before I left home she called me into her office.

We talked even if she was the one doing all the talking and me doing all the nodding and listening, she takes about her life and how it was miserable and so on, she also talked about her late husband his he always talks about me, she said I shouldn't blame her for prompting me so frequently she said it would have been what her late husband would have wanted, I pity for the sadist she was life was drained out of her and this pity junk, is all that is left of her I believe her arrogance was a way of grieving as she hardly does that anymore, she actually hardly does anything other than sit down and do nothing, yes I mean nothing.

At first when she came she was all badass and stuffs like that, but now she is your average slut cos she kinda started dressing like one, she dresses like a such proustite because poor once will get paid money for sleeping around, but she would be the one paying money to the man.

Well she said that she was actually doing her job and bla, bla bla, cos I did not understand a fucking word that she said, who dies she thinks I am before I make judgment I must hear from the both side, even if I am not a lawyer I do have conscience and I don't think it will let me down, come on I know a liar when I see one and that day she was not different from one, but the truth is why would she do it?, OK I still do not want to make my conclusions yet, I might not know what really happened, but I know what she said was not it at all. Maybe I should find the guard and ask him what really happened or so? Maybe he would tell me the truth.

I was already in the taxi by this time, and it was 732am I was late but what every I fell habiba has started to influence me negatively with this coming late to work thing, maybe it's because I have already moved my stuffs from this house and by this weekend I will be moving my self, no I actually cannot wait till then so after work today I will be visiting my new estate, it's like the one me and my parents used to live in when I stayed with them in Lagos, I still do miss my family especially my baby sis.

I dropped from the cab and went into the office, I went to musa's place to ask him about some of the things that happened and answers, but he knew nothing apart from what I did even tho, today was one of those day that I am ready for a conversation, so I walk straight to his office without going to mine, the truth was that he followed them to the hospital and I didn't cos it was his problem and department it happened not mine.

"Musa" I called his name

"Hey, how are you doing?"

"Fine, and you?"

"Good!, this one that lateness has become a Hobbie are you sure we are safe "

"Of course we are"

"I would like to believe you"

"You know you can"

"Yeah I do"

"Salam"

"Ya ya bro"

"Musa"

"Ever bro, what ever"

"So what did the doctor say"

"Well they both were under shock as they were having memory laps"

"Was that a bad thing?"

"Well for Stella it was because most of her memories were already with her, except the ones that were gone the shock triggered them"

"Okay"

"But in habiba's case she was lucky"

"How?"

"Well the doctor said that she would be having flash backs as it has triggered her memories open, and there is a chance of her getting back her memory"

" *shit* I don't understand a word you say"

"I should go to my office okay"

I said as I left with a confused brain, what?, so it is true that she lost her memories, wow and there I was thinking she was making her life like a ZEE world movie, with the memories and stuffs, I think all she needs is an arranged marriage, a wicked mother-in-law and her life will be a ZEE world fairy tale.

"Good morning" she said as I walked into the office

"Hi" as you can see I was not in the mood to talk to anyone but hear she was disturbing the peace out of me.

"What?"

She stopped for a moment and gave a really sad smile, she was looking so sad and cute it made her look so beautiful that I felt like pinching her check tow wake her from her imagination.

"Well don't worry" she said while pushing her lower lips out word and the upper one in word as she was suckling the left side of the upper lips, making an expression that made her look even more beautiful face, it made her look like a child that she already is.

"Okay, I won't" I said as I walked away to my seat.

She was acting like my junior sister and if there is anything I know about her is that she must talk, whether she likes it or not.

And in 5. 4. 3. 2.

"Well my mom told me that, I could go and visit my cosine"

"And you remember this cosine of yours?"

"Of course not, but mom told me every thing about her, and Maryam"

"And did you go to visit your Maryam's parents?"

"Well she said we would, but we did not"

"And... You think she would take you there"

"Okay"

"Well next week is dads election, so they won't be at home"

"So..."

"Take me to your house"

She was jumping from one topic to another without concluding on any topic at all, it was like her brain was running crazy in her head.

"Sure" I said as I would take to my house that's in the estate, and she would not know that I haven't yet moved in since most of my things are there, so I will then quickly move into the house.

"Okay let's go now" she said jumping like a two-year-old child

You must be out of your mind, or maybe it's just your brain that is out of its position, I can see it coming out already. Pls get back in their brain.

"Its just 9:20am Miss I said as I carried the file for ten o'clock news as I was reading it, the truth is the news are already perfect, so I don't know why they even submit it for screening, but I am glad they did cos if they didn't I would not be reading the news before it becomes the new, its like I am reading the news of the future.

We left for my house after we prayed the late afternoon prayer by four o'clock I took her to the estate and showed her the house, come to think of it I and her parents were actually neighbors as we lived close to each other.

She showed me her house which was five buildings away from mine, we were in the same street and the same line, that was nice to know, but I don't think I would be visiting in forever.
