SHATTERED EPISODE 4

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 4

Ma-uuda asked that she be searched for since her food was catching cold.
They searched everywhere for her but she wasn't around. Her number wasn't going through either. I just pray nothing bad befalls her. Yea, she is one cunning girl but not today.
We continued trying her phone. It finally went through and she picked up.
Mariama: Yea
Naa: where are you? We are looking for you.
Mariama: oow...I thought I told you guys to excuse me. My cousin is back from the states. He's been around for a week without my knowledge. He just had my number to call and he will be leaving tomorrow. I will be with you guys please.

She said this and hanged up. I sensed something fishy somewhere,  but who was I to complain?
We all stared at each other's faces and sat down again to enjoy our drinks.
I was lost in thought completely. All I was doing was trying to figure out where exactly Mariama would be. I didn't notice her disappearance on time. I would have known the truth.
Whichever way it was, she was gone and that was it.
I still remembered everything that had happened to me within a flash. The death of my loved one, the rape incidence and the loss of my baby. Before I realized, I was swallowing my own tears.
I couldn't hide it anymore. Naa reached for my hand as Ma-uuda drew closer to wrap her hand around my neck.

"Sweetheart, for how long will you continue to be like this? We are here for you and that is the most important thing", Ma-uuda said.
She at least managed to put smile back on my face. We continued to laugh our hearts out. You know how we ladies do it.
As the conversation was ongoing, one of the security men brought a note to Ma-uuda.
"Wooooow, I can't believe it. That will be perfect. Just perfect. Thank you sooooo much guys", she said with joy.
It turned out to be that they were planning to have a bridal shower the following day for her since the marriage ceremony was just few hours away.
I didn't know but that didn't give me any reason to play dumb. I joined in the celebration.
I picked my phone and checked the time. It was late. None of us knew because we were soo much engulfed with the conversation.

Ma-uuda opted that we sleep over but none was willing to since we all had to go prepare for the bridal shower and big day ahead.
"Okay then girlfriends, 6:45pm it is right?" I asked. "Sure", Patience responded.
I entered one of the cars parked at Ma-uuda's place as the driver sped off to my residence.
I thanked him and got down when we got there.
