Onome's health slightly improved after the third day of completing the malaria medication dosage as prescribed by the pharmacist.
Still attending her catering classes, her first assignment in the class activity posited by their instructor was the making of a quick snack and she wowed the entire class in the allotted time for the job. The easy meal of bread and vegetables sandwiched together with a hot cup of creamed coffee took the instructor by surprise. Many complimented Onome but she only smiled in return.
Being careful of others, Onome kept to herself still, even when everyone congratulated her for another test well done; a beautifully made local groundnut cake which taste so good, She smiled as usual and moved quickly into another discussion or direction.
After 10 days of being in Lagos, the same routine was in place. She goes to work by 5:30am and returns by 4pm. She neither went out to any place nor went in contrary direction to her training center.
On the 22nd day, she got a call during the lunch break. It was her younger sister Fejiro.
"Hello Fejiro how are you?"
"Happy birthday to you" she sang the happy birthday song and it struck Onome that she had forgotten her own birthday.
"Thank you so much my love."
"Sis, how are you? Fejiro asked.
"Am good and you?"
"I am fine sis."
"How's school? Gist me how is it going"
"School is fine but I am home now. We are on holidays. I am in my 300 level. I will be starting my industrial training soon". Fejiro exclaimed on excitement.
"Wow! I can't believe it's so soon. You were barely 17 when you entered. I am so happy for you Fejiro." Fejiro laughs out loudly.
"You still remember sis. I was so young and scared but no more". she sounded bravely.
"Where do you intend to intern?" Onome asked concerned for her younger sister
"Bros Tega has already given me a space. Studying business administration is a perk you know?I am going to be an intern at the resort, working directly with his accountant Mr Pius." She giggled.
"Oh that's nice. God bless him. Congratulations my dear, I am happy for you"
"Thank you sis"
"But that's not all" Fejiro said.
"Okay, is there more goodnews?"
"Yes sis."
"Today is my introduction."
Onome spat out the water she was drinking.
"What?"
"Yeah sis"
"Who are you getting married to?
I never even knew you were in a relationship."
Fejiro giggled the more.
"I am getting married to my friend."
"Which friend.?"
"You don't know him though sis"
"But are you not too young to be talking about marriage?"
"Am 20 years old already."
"I love him, I want to be married now. I know I want to be his wife now."
"Are you pregnant?" Onome asked worried about her younger sister.
"No! I am not sis!
"Are you sure?" Onome interrogated.
"We have not even had sex yet, am a born again child of God sis. Premarital sex is not in the works for us."
"Huh? Onome exclaimed confusedly.
"Yes sis" Fejiro giggled.
"Premarital sex is a sin and a dishonor of the marriage bed."
"What does papa and Mama think?"
"They have met his parents already but today is the formal introduction and they totally support us."
