Browsing: Biola Kila

She had been in the kitchen for almost five hours and those hours she watched Biola who sat on the bench close the water; she didn’t tell them she was in the neighbourhood neither did she move an inch from the chair. Sometimes she acted hysterically, cried and threw stones viciously at birds close to the clouds as if they were responsible for Salim’s death and Mrs. Adamu watched her carefully through her kitchen window.

“Something keeps making noise” the second paramedic pointed out as they continued to stabilize Salim “I think it’s his phone… oh my God! His phone!” Shirley was glad to finally get in touch with someone who knew Salim, she ran through his back like a vacuum until she saw the phone crying for an answer.

She was in some way glad to hear his voice and after thirty minutes of talking and laughing over silly things President Ken agreed to help Efe. He told Biola that his press secretary was going to call Efe for something special “thank you so much… but please don’t let her know that I called” Biola was determined to help Efe feel better about herself.

Biola was getting tired of hearing about how Efe suffered at her job, so she decided to do something to help her friend, she called President Ken with the special phone she had tucked away.

They ate a very nice meal that Mrs Gayesu prepared for three of them, then it was time for them to leave “I will meet you in the car” General Gayesu told his wife; Biola immediately knew it was time to have the big conversation about the things that happened the day she slit her wrist but General Gayesu went a different turn

“I have called your husband’s father, he is on his way… you can ask him whatever you want when he comes” President Ken sat back down on the chair next to her bed and continued with his documentary. Biola lay back down on the bed and covered her head in the blanket; she was uncomfortable with the president around.

Umar and Biola enjoyed the rest of the party until a man propositioned Biola right in front of him and instead of taking his jealousy out on the man he took it out on her as usual. Umar dragged her into a small empty room and began to hit her this time gunning to disfigure her face but Biola was ready to fight back.

Biola was taken aback by his mature way of speaking but she didn’t let it distract her from threatening to call his mother to tell her where he was “call her… she would be happy to hear from you” his confidence was a new outfit she had never seen him wear before “I had a long day Salim, I don’t need this right now” she turned to walk away but he pulled her towards him and kissed her with the desire of a man. She felt his racing heart against her chest and it made hers beat faster.

Biola sat in utter silence wondering what would happen if she went back to the convent. Will God accept her after everything she had done? Will he save her from the treacherous hands of Umar? Will he be able to forgive and change her ruthless soul? Her dream when she moved to Lagos was a job, a good husband and beautiful children but with everything that has happened she started to think that she should have forgiven Chief at the end of the day.

When she told Biola that the man told her not to bother about any expense, Biola advised her to still be prepared “anything can happen, you always have to have your own money in case” Biola warned then she asked her to transfer all her money to Grande bank so that if anything went wrong she could easily help her since she worked there and could have access to her account. Diana thought it a good idea and did as Biola said.

The night was still young, the drinks were flowing and the music was very soothing to the conversation between Seyi, Biola, Diana and Joyce a friend of Diana. It was Diana’s birthday and she was very sad that her boyfriend dumped her via twitter so Biola called Seyi to take them out to a nice but secretive restaurant where Umar would not be able to track or find her.

“Ten naira” Biola interrupted Bright’s Lawyer. The room became abruptly quiet “ten naira, that is what this company is worth and that is what you will accept” the words from her mouth were like the deadliest venom; Chief had never been more angry, pained and dramatic while Bright sat down smiling at the events taking place before him

“We can buy her a book, a diary… she said she needed a book to record her thoughts” Salim responded “she told you that?” Amin asked; he believed that he was the Biola expert in the house so he was surprised that Salim knew that she needed a book and he didn’t know. Besides he had secretly gotten her something, a beautiful pair of pearl earrings and he couldn’t wait to get home and give them to her.

Biola was in the middle of packing her things when she heard a knock on the door, it was Efe; she was surprised to see her but she only expressed indifference. She opened the door inviting Efe into the house; they stood for almost a minute with no words to say to each other

Umar Dogara Gayesu, the only son of a Major General, the Chief of Army Staff of Nigeria; Umar, five feet tall with very clean chocolate skin colour was 24 years old. He had a very slender body and sometimes looked as if the slight blow of the wind could take him away; he looked like a quiet harmless and basically had no friends.

“Daddy, you have a package” “bring it” Chief put his plate aside to open the package and what he saw in it horrified him; he let out a terrifying scream as he flung the box and the object in the box fell out

John came looking for her in Lagos, he wanted to know what happened the last time he saw Biola; his curiosity was getting the best of him both at work and at home with his girlfriend, he found himself calling his girlfriend Biola and the last time it happened a huge fight ensued between them so he just decided to find her and ask her what happened.

Chief didn’t even understand what was going on with him, was it her wide almond shaped eyes or her full lips or the way the red lip stick made them move seductively or maybe it was her confidence. She spoke to him like they were age mates; he didn’t know but he felt bewitched and couldn’t help himself. That was why he kissed her
