‘boo boo’ Ann said into the phone happily.
‘how are u Ann?’ Lex asked.
‘i’m doing well boo…where are u? We didnt see yesterday as promised…’
‘oh my dear, i’m so sorry…something important came up that i had to take care of…’
‘something like….’
‘something related to our wedding, but its a surpise…’
‘really? I like the sound of that’ she giggled ‘by the way boo, i want you to meet one of my friend, she’s a very good friend of mine and her name is Emmy, seriously Lex, u gonna love her’
‘if i so happen to love her more than the way i love u then i will just dump you for her then…’

Ann laughed ‘like seriously, Emmy is just five years old’
‘what?!’
She laughed again ‘seriously you thought she was big…she’s just five but she’s my best friend’
‘how can a five-year old girl be your best friend Ann?’
‘you wont understand……friendship isnt about age or size, i love her so much that i’m even thinking of adopting her’
‘what of the child’s mother?’
She paused…wondering if she should just tell him abt Fiona…but what and how was she to say it…i’ve found ur sister…or…your sister never died, she’s still alive and she’s the mother of Emmy…she shook her head.
‘Ann are u there?’ Lex’s voice brought her back from her thoughts.
‘uhm, yes dear…i’m here…uhm, the child’s mother is…the child’s mother…is my friend…my friend from way back in…in….Maiduguri’ She smiled at her lie.
‘really? When will i meet this beautiful friend of yours?’

‘how do u know she’s beautiful when you havent even met her’
‘you are beautiful dear….show me ur friend and i’ll tell u who u are…if u are this beautiful then ur friend must be beautiful’
‘flatter….’
‘i’m serious my princess, i’m not flattering u….i love u dear…’
‘i love u more’
‘i’ll call u later…uhm, what of ur mum?’
‘my mum, uhm…she went out…dad said she went out to meet you and she came back looking like a ghost…’
‘really?’ he laughed ‘i just took my mother-inlaw out, nothing much’
‘and dad’s angry you didnt deem it fit to come see him’
‘pls apologise to him on my behalf…is he still around?’

‘travelled to Maiduguri this morning’
‘when he comes around next time, or rather, we go to Maiduguri and pay him a visit…i miss that state’
‘me too…i miss it more’
‘alright love, my regards to ur mum on my behalf okay?’
‘no problem…i love u….’
‘i love u too’ He hung up.
Ann looked at her phone and smiled…there was this inner peace and love she felt whenever she spoke with him. She loved him so much…she loved him to the extent her heart was at bursting point…she had never loved anyone the way she loved him and neither will she ever love anyone apart from him.
She closed her eyes dreamily and imagined his hands all over her body, kissing her, caressing her…making love to her…she couldnt wait for that moment when they were going to make love again…he was the perfect man for her.
‘Ann….’

She quickly opened her eyes and beheld her mum, hands akimbo and looking at her assessingly.
‘whats wrong with u?’
‘what…nothing mum, y do u ask?’
‘you were making light sounds…or do i say u were “m0an!ng”‘
‘what?! Me?’
Jovita sat beside her daughter ‘i know you were…erm…u know…raped…but i want to ask a question….have u willingly had sex before?’
‘erm…mum, why do you ask?’
‘answer me…’
‘well, mum…your question is somewhat embarrasing, very embarrasing…but erm….’
‘no need, i know the answer already….well, its not like ur hymen can be brought back but just keep yourself till u marry Alex or Lex whatever…do not have sex with him till u marry him because i’ve been watching u and i dont want to say more than this….remember your father does not wed pregnant women’
‘yes mum…’
‘where’s Emmy?’

‘taking a nap’ She noticed the dark circles under her eyes ‘mum, its either u cried yourself to sleep or you didnt sleep at all…which of them?’
‘huh?’ Jovita touched her eyes ‘why do u ask?’
‘you have bags under ur eye mother’
‘erm…erm…your dad and i had a little argument….’
‘seriously mum, u and dad still have conflicts?’

‘it was a mild one but i got very emotional and cried…but we reconciled immediately…’
‘sure abt that mummy?’
‘yes…’
‘okay…Lex sent his regards…’
She noticed the way her mum stilled at the mention of his name, then she smiled and left for the kitchen.
Minutes later, she heard the sound of sniffing and she tiptoed to the kitchen to see her mum sobbing her eyes out.
