Mr and Mrs Donalds wore a matching Gucci sweatshirt, a pair of black jean trousers and a pair of white sneakers.Mrs Donalds collected the mike from the MC and smiled before speaking,"Good afternoon everyone, I'm so happy we made it to this day. Thank you all for sparing a time to come. I really appreciate you all." She sighed and looked up. "Lekky Donalds is my only child and every good mother will always want to say something nice about her child." She paused and looked at Lekky lovingly."Lekky is a happy child, she has brought so nuch happiness to me since the very first day I held her in my hands. She's very obedient and smart." She looked at her baby again and smiled, Lekky was truly the best gift she'd ever had. "I always pray everyday for my daughter's happiness and I'd do anything to make sure she smiles every time. Happy Birthday, my bbaby girl mommy loves you more than you can ever imagine." Mrs Donalds finished her short speech and the crowd applauded her.It was Mr Donald
The stage was already set, Lekky and Mirabella stood alongside their music teacher, Master John.Their eyes were almost popping out of it's socket when they sighted the numbers of students that stood ahead of them."Calm down girls, I didn't bring you here for you to be overwhelmed with fears you can do it." He urged them to calm down."Yes...sir" Lekky stuttered fiddling with her fingers she hung her head low and Master James frowned."Don't do that Lekky." He bent on his knees and cupped Lekky's face with his hands. "You can do this." Lekky gave him a reassuring smile, he stroked her hair and stood up."Mirabella.'' He called, and she flashed him a smile."We would try not to disappoint you sir." She told him."Good, that's my girl. Now Let's go and register your names." The two girls followed closely behind their teacher, he was a young man in his
The Angel squad began their presentation, the spectators watched with utmost interest. It was a beautiful performance till they got to a point and the two girls halted, staring back at each other with questionable looks."What is wrong?" The girl on blue asked her partner her grey eyes gleaming with worries."I can't remember the next lyrics." She gently removed the mike and whispered."What?" The other girl asked in disbelief, why would she forget?"Angel squad, what is the problem?" The anchorman asked, the spectators watched them, the judges penned down their observations."Sir," The girl on blue said, "We can't continue anymore." She dropped the mike and faced her partner."I am sorry." They left the stage."A round of applause For Angel squad." The anchorman gingered the impatient spectators. "Now we will call on the next group."The next group were called and they approached the stage and performed beautifully.It kept going till it got to Contestant twenty, Mirabella and Lekky
Schools were on holidays, the incessant party was all over, Mirabella and Lekky were waiting patiently for the results of the young talents competition.Being at home was no fun, constant visits from Lekky always made their day but still their mother's absence was a major concern to them. They might pretend not to be concerned, but deep down they do and it hurts so badly.Catherine told her kids she was going on a vacation to Germany with Jerry, they'd shop for their wedding cloths and other stuffs while away.Leaving her kids was something that didn't bother her at all and it was still a mystery to the girls, how a mother can be okay with neglecting her kids.Mirabella woke up with blood stains on her nose again and she quickly wiped it off. Since the last time, it had been that way more often but she refused to voice it out.Fears were instilled in her, Michal was the only guardian she had and she didn't want anything that would cause her to panic.So she just assumed she always got
The two weeks break was over, School resumed back for the third term of the section.The school compound was filled with Students again, friendly gestures from one another after about two weeks of being away.After the morning assembly, the students marched hurriedly into their various classes, the ecstasy of returning back to school was on their faces and began with the cleaning of their desks and classrooms. The cleaners did the sweeping while the students did the rest.Back to the J.S.S.1 classroom Lekky and Mirabella were arranging their space when Mirabella suddenly sat down."You okay?" Lekky asked."Nah." She shook her head indicating a negative reply."What happened?" Lekky asked again."I'm weak." She tried to stretch her arms but she couldn't, she noticed she was always getting weak these past days."Just rest okay? I'll finish up with this." Lekky told her and Mirabella rested her head on the desk. "Should I get senior Michal for you?""No, I will be fine." She replied weakl
Do we feel a sign whenever something was about to happen, especially something unpleasant?Michal felt it, she saw the signs her body system changed but it was unfortunate it happened not to her but the last person she'd ever want to see get hurt."Stand up, we're going to the hospital now." Michal searched for the keys not sparing a second for Mirabella to speak."Michal please call mom first." Mirabella said gently.Frustrated, not finding what she was searching for she turned to face Mirabella."Since when did it start?" She asked impatiently."Been a while." She wiped the bloodstains with the handkerchief again but the excessive bleeding didn't cease."We don't have much time Mira." She helped her up and led her towards the door, closing it shut she found the keys attached to the door knob, she groaned out loudly and hissed. She was really disorganised.Getting back from school and taking a quick nap only to wake to see her younger sister bleeding through her nose excessively and l
"How old are you?" The doctor asked, she collected the card from Michal and checked out Mirabella's details. "Ten." She muttered and looked at Mirabella. "I need some blood samples from you to carry out the test." She told her."No problem ma." Mirabella said."I need a guardian here to make the payments and all." The doctor told them."I brought some money along with me." Michal told the doctor and this is our family hospital. Nurse Kiki knows us so well." Michal explained."Ooh, well let's begin then." She smiled at them and told Mirabella to lie on the bed, she did and the doctor checked her pulse she pierced an injection into her skin, and collected some blood samples for test purpose. "Go wait at the reception." She told them.After some minutes the doctor called them back into her office and told them to come back later for the tests result. Michal and Mirabella left the office in total silence, no one spoke a word to the other till they got outside the hospital gate.Mirabella f
A week had come and gone and still nothing has been heard from the doctor, Catherine had gone back to meet her and she explained to her that they had to wait till the result is out.Different thoughts built their walls on Michal's mind, she tried and tried not to think of terrible things but her mind wouldn't let her. She made sure she made Mirabella smile every time and anytime she brought up the test topic, she'd quickly cover it up with an entirely different one.She was avoiding it but sooner or later, it would reveal itself."Mirabella, are you sure you're okay?" Lekky asked as they strolled towards the cafeteria."I'm weak." She winced. "The doctor hasn't said anything about the test."Lekky frowned, "But Mira, why didn't you tell anyone that you've been bleeding? I tell you everything and you just chose to shut us out of your live.""I'm sorry." Mirabella apologised
