That moment when you find love, trust and honour in the eyes of everyone.
That moment when your worst enemy becomes the demon himself.
That same moment when your best moment becomes your worst nightmare.

Enjoy the thrills of how far life would sacrifice for love. Yesterday is always a shadow you can not escape, today is a dream worth living, yet tomorrow shall forever remain the wonder of nature hidden to all.

A *shattered* past in itself is a shattered tomorrow.


*SHATTERED*

EPISODE 3

I am finally going home to meet my house and have a cool shower.
My friends came back to help me pack my things. Whichever reason it was, was not disclosed me. I actually wanted to leave so what else? I joined them in their nice corolla as we sped off. We were all quiet in the car. Will someone tell me what is going on?
In as much as I wanted to go home, I needed to find out what was happening.
The driver finally pulled to a halt when we got to a nearby police station. I hope there isn't any issue.
My heart freaked out when I saw Ma-uuda come out of the police station. What was it this time?
I opened the car and rushed to her. I tried to ask her some few questions that found their way into my mind,  but she was fast to have answered me.
"Mariama used one of my vehicles which wasn't licensed today so she was arrested. I came to pay something small to get her out", she said. Hmmmm...Mariama won't change. She's been one hell of a girl who always sees herself jumping from one trouble to the other.
Mariama joined Ma-uuda in her car and we all left for home.

The driver took us to Ma-uuda's father's house. It was a very big apartment with house helps all over.
I knew she was rich but not to this extent.
We all walked to the hall and made ourselves comfortable. Ma-uuda joined in later and asked that we came to the dinning table and had something for ourselves.
I was really hungry. I guess that was a perfect atmosphere for my abdomen to feel good.
The whole table was filled with variety of meals and assorted drinks. Whose birthday was it? I asked.
My thoughts became louder than I expected.
Ma-uuda smiled at me and said, "Sweetheart, I did everything specially for you. Today is exactly three years since we became friends,  and I deem it a great honour to celebrate it. I know it might have escaped you because of the trauma, but hei, I'm always here for you. Come on, let's celebrate".
Really? She still had the date in mind? It dawned on me as I opened my eyes and covered my mouth with my hands. I can't believe this.
I ran to hug her as I shed tears.

She slowly took my hand and led me to the dinning table where everyone was seated. It seemed thy all knew the purpose for the gathering. We talked and laughed heartily as we ate.
One of the chairs was empty. Whose seat could that be? Naa told us she saw Mariama dash out of the kitchen few minutes ago, sure she was going for something.
We continued with our usual chit chat as ladies. Everybody had almost finished consuming the food, yet there was no sign of Mariama. Ma-uuda asked that she be searched for since her food was catching cold.
