The Journey Contd: What did Hussena do?

By -

*************
She froze...... she must have mis-calculated, now how is she going to stand this embarrassment especially since she knows this man was going to flog her and she must cry as Ladi will see her as a sissy and her threshold for pain is very very low. 
     "why are you late for my class?" Mr Ikuomola demanded
      "I had to take my younger brother to the hospital, he broke his arm" Hussena was stunned at how smooth the lie was and proud of the fact that she can think on her feet, she shot Hassanna the look of death daring her to contradict this
    "Is that true Hassana?" 
Hassana was very furious with her twin who would always find a way of humiliating her
"ye...yes sir" she stuttered thinking of how Hussena will pay for this lie she made her tell
"alright then, get to your seat and do not come late to my class again. Tell your parents school time especially my period is not for errands"
 Hussena thanked her lucky stars and made a mental note to check the soap she used to have her bath this morning, it seems she will key into this superstitious nonsense Habiba is always on and on about.
++++++++++

 Drifting back to the present, Hassana sighed Hussenna is late!, even after 25 years on earth she cannot and probably never get why her incorrigible twin will always be late when it matters the most, but not this time she won't allow Hussena take her shine after all she has sacrificed for this presentation. 
 "where is your sister?" the man with the large glasses just like Tinubu's asked
 "she will be here soon" Hassana replied while thinking for the 100th time of the reason she partnered with her sister.
"can we start without her?" another delegate inquired
Hassana took a deep sigh and knew she had to do something really fast, she is the brain behind Colors Limited but Hussena is the voice and especially the face, how ironic especially since they have the same features.
"I will be right back" she excused herself from the conference room
A few managed a few grunts and nods but she left while instructing Jane to do all in her power to keep them in the room
She called Hussena's phone again and straight it went to voice mail, now she must do something, she had to think, her tardy sister will not make her lose this golden opportunity, she thought and what came to her head gave her a laughing fit and boy! did she laughed..................

Hola Lovelies! I'm back at ya! Today I am writing on an issue we seldom discuss. I got the idea on a WHATSAPP group and I knew I had to lend my pen. As always please read, comment and share. ******************************************************************************************************************************* You: Dad "I need 10k for my hand out and departmental dues" Your Dad: "I thought I just gave you 5k last week for project material, you this child money does not grow on trees! your sister's fees still pending, even your mum just collected 20k for house upkeep, I am tired........" You: Rolling your eyes as you zone out of the conversation, you murmur to yourself "this is why I prefer mummy, she will have given me something at least"  Meanwhile, your Daddy was up all night thinking hard on how he will split the last 10k he has on him between himself, you & your sister. Next day, he gives you 3k, you squeeze your face like deformed ...

Oh! we all want something, whether it be love, money, fame, power, stability, peace just mention it you may not have figured it out yet but the fact is we all want something and figuring it out is not rocket science you just have to find whatever it is that seem lacking in your life or that thing you see other people with and wish so bad that you want it. After getting this, the next question is how bad do want what it? what is the length you are willing to go to get what you want? what most people do not know is how hungry you are for what you want( i mean the zeal and passion) causes a certain force that will deliver what you want with the same amount of hunger you have for it from the universe or from the Divine if you are quite religious, I mean it is very evident in our everyday lives isn't said that from the abundance of the heart.....you know the rest. Now I do not the mean the kind of hunger that drives psychopaths to do crazy stuffs like killing or slandering or blackmaili...

Don't forget to read, comment & share.........Enjoy! Zha BOBO Omorayo sat across this fine boy and all she can think is Darn! " Bobo yi fine sha , is he going to be a yoruba demon or angel?. She has seen Olawale in church 2 sundays ago when her friend Tania had pointed at him and said "see my boyfriend", she had taken one look at his side view, full connected beard in place and she knew this is the kind of guy Tania would have attracted. Omorayo took a look at herself and her butt out belly and knew this guy may not even give her as much as a side eye (there was a lil jab in her belly pulling her out of the low self-esteem pit she is about to embark on). The next sunday after then Omorayo was jejely teaching her sabbath school when the broda sat in her class with another mutual friend George, she ha...
