FRANK, Be frank...,

 



That cool Wednesday evening at about 5pm, Frank had met his waterloo at Raffia City Plaza, where he was ready to go on his womanising adventure in Uyo, the state capital.

What he met that day was way too surprising as he never saw it  coming.

That evening, he had lied to the girlfriend, Naomi that he was going for a prewedding photo shoot as booked by his client at Uyo, and that he was going to return within a short while.

Earlier that morning, Frank had concluded plans to "point and kill" Rita,  the new found prey in the name of shooting prewedding pictures.

Naomi and Frank had dated for 8 months and over this period, Frank had acted to the gallery with his girlfriend.

In fact he had played the innocent guy and had made the  girlfriend thought their relationship  was one with purpose.

When they met, Frank was struggling with his photography business. Naomi, out of love for Frank, helped him build his business from the scratch with lot of funds from her own purse.

Countless times, her friends have talked her into taking her relationship with Frank lightly but Naomi overwhelmed by love had fallen a prey for an habitual womaniser, Frank.

All her resources from her hair dressing business was pulled into Frank photography business.

Frank was a  womanizer who derived pleasure from lifting different pant of girls and most times in the company of friends will boost of how many girls he has had his way with.

That evening, Jenny, Naomi's apprentice spotted Frank holding an handbag of an unkown girl with both of them standing almost kissing at the front door of a black colour Toyota Camry at Ikot Ekpene Plaza.

Jenny immediately placed a call across to Naomi to brief her on what her eyes have fed on that evening.

Naomi on tip, swung into action like police on a trail of a criminal and within a twinkle of an eye, appear at scene.

To her bewildering disbelief, she  meet Frank and his prey in a Romeo and Juliet mode.

"Frank... So it is true.... Naomi flared  standing like  one who has seen a ghost.

".....All what i have been hearing is true.... After what i did for you" She ragged.

"You this shameless he goat. So this the prewedding photo shoot?..., She dragged Frank at his waist, pull his waist belt and  pushed him away.

"Frank, you are so ungrateful.... I made you, i picked you up, bought photography equipment for you.  I pay for our rent and give u the clothes you wear, feed you and this is how you repay me....' Noami rant as passerby, conductors and agboros look in bewilderment.

Frank stood there so disgraced as commuters shroud  their shoulders in wonder of what they saw that evening.

Naomi instructed Frank to return her 300k he borrowed from her to upset debts and ask him to return everything that belongs to her in two days.

Frank the womanizer stood pale like a forest lizard that has seen not the sun for years at Ikot Ekepene plaza as all eyes fed on him that cool evening.

DON'T LEAVE WHEN IT IS TOO LATE.

The story . Udauk was too weak to continue with the evening chores around the house because of her pregnancy. She bent over the kitchen cabinet in search of a tuber of yam she was to prepare before her husband returned from work. At the point of stretching her hands to reach the tuber of yam under the cabin, she felt a sharp pain down her abdomen. Her left lap was swollen from the beating she got the previous night from the monster's husband. She was still short of three months from her due month. That's when she was to put to birth. The shape pain was accompanied by a loud scream. She dropped the knife she had with her and tried to settle on a table-size stool lying close to the gas cylinder in the kitchen, but she couldn't. She fell and started screaming, reached out to her phone, and dialed her husband. Mr. Sam had branched  Madam G's Native Kitchen to settle for a while before heading home as his habit demands. He was busy at his usual joint with a bottle of chill ...

TILL DEATH DO US APART

 The story.  She wanted to fix this once and for all. She felt it was her obligation and responsibility to try and fix her marriage. It is true that when love can no longer sustain the marriage, commitment,  and sense of responsibility does. This was Elma's concern. Though things were never what she expected, especially after having an affair with her personal assistant, she felt she could rekindle the love and bring her home. Shutting the door of the penthouse behind Mark her boyfriend, Elma warned him never to call again, not when she was trying to fix her home and get back with her husband. After Mark drove off, Elma took a step backward from where she was, fell on the bed and sobbed profusely. It was hard for her to see him leave. In the past six months of knowing Mark, he made her feel loved again and provided her a shoulder to cry on. He made her forget the horrors George her husband made her pass through in the last three years.  Elma left the penthouse that n...
