My life is aimless as I lay hopelessly waiting for manner to come,I refused to listen to the inner voice telling me to get up and do something.

  With the level of my education,still jobless at my age I have to relocate to the village when I couldn't cope with city life.

 I've been at the mercy of mama,she feed me 3 square meal without complaining. My mother even when she's alive would have push me out with Insult,mama has been my backbone she support me both financially and emotionally.

 “Ademide you're still here on the mat” she said joining me on the mat all smile

  “mama you're back,how's farm"

 “farm is good ,that's how you always ask won't you be useful rather than wasting away your time"

“ mama do you expect me to be following you to the farm,I need a job”

“ This ideology of yours won't lead you anywhere"

“ mama I'm trying my chicken sweat is not worth it"

  “hmmmm my son,what an adult saw while sitting even if a child stretched his neck till tomorrow he may not see it,let me tell you a story"

  “ mama I'm not the same little boy who's always eager to hear your petty folktale”

  “ a child is oblivious of an eagle it's calling it a bat, folktales isn't just about entertainment or only for the kids, it's to Impact some lessons"

  “But still this isn't time for folktales, you look sad"

   “ Once upon a time...."

To be continue tommorow

What sort of story did mama want to tell ademide?

Can you guess in the comment section?

Betrayed

    I discard the thought and continue peeling the beans we're to use and do moimoi because we're to eat moimoi and pap for iftar and also give to a mosque today.

    I was happily doing all this stuff not because of God but I can't wait to see my crush in the mosque we're to carry iftar to. 

    I've learnt that he likes moimoi and pap from his younger sister. I was even the one who convince mum to do moimoi instead of the jollof rice she intends to cook before.

    "Are you done peeling the beans?" my mum asked while towering over me

   "I'll soon be done mum" I replied happily

   "Fatimah I'm starting to be suspicious of you,why moimoi and pap all of a sudden"

  "Mum I've already told you moimoi and pap is good when eating iftar,it makes the body feel relaxed after eating and it's not a heavy food it will easily digest" I replied her saying whatever comes to my mind at the moment

 "Then let's change it then since it will easily digest and it may not satisfy...."

     I didn't allow her finish her statement before I shout NO!! Like someone wey dem knack 2 by 2 for head

 "Fatimah what's wrong,why did you shout like that"

  "It's nothing one ant just bite me,but mum we can't change the food now let's do that tommorow"

   "That's true, time is not on our side,just be quick" 

    She enter the kitchen to resume cooking while I continue what I'm doing. Just then my cousin emerge from one corner of the house and walk past me smiling knowingly.

  "What's wrong with this girl,hope she's not running mad like this" I thought then shrug it off and continue peeling the beans.

     Fast forward to when we've carry the iftar to the mosque but unfortunately my crush is nowhere to be found and I've add extra to his own portion,why today now that I volunteer to bring the iftar. 

     I returned home looking dejected only to find my mum and dad and my cousin staring at me.

  "What's wrong?" I asked laughing nervously

  "So it's because of a guy you told us to change the food plan right or is Jedidah lying" my mum said looking at me straight in the eye,my dad was just silent and looking at me with one Kain eye. 

I look to my left and saw my cousin making funny face at me then it dawn on me that this is the work of Jedidah.

   "Mummy let me go and check what's on fire" Jedidah said and quickly run to the kitchen then mum follows her. 

   I know this is her plan of escaping, she betrayed me because I beat her yesterday, but I'm not allowing that. But how did this little brat knows of my secret I need to find out.

   I'm still waiting patiently in front of the kitchen door with a cane hidden between my skirt. Jedidah never come out or is she cooking for the whole Nigeria.🤷🤷🤷

Tell jedidah to come out of that kitchen readers😂.
