(Abuja prison )

The male warden called out Andy from his cell room telling him he had a visitor , he was escorted to the visiting room when the door opened he was overjoyed and ran towards Rachel hugging her but was told touching wasn't allowed, "your time is ticking" the warden said and left.
" Baby I missed you so much
" no Rachel I missed you more am the one locked up in here lonely
" like you were the only one locked up, she sarcastically said
" Am so not happy with you where have you been? Its been five years now I hared that you left jail four years ago and you never came to see me why?
"I had too get our life back on track I had to hide and cover our tracks so when you come out it will be like none of this happen I also looked for your stunt double who went to school all this years for your sake
" how did you do all that?
" Andy when you are out I will let you know
" And what of our documents from the old house?
" I got it trust me, I had to go to jail it's all your fucking fault don't blame me but sorry I called you
" and so what? You should have told me you were coming I thought you forgot me forever
" you know I couldn't see you cause the forces are still watching my every movement and the money is still missing, I called you all this years didn't I? But I didn't call cause I wanted to surprise you well here I am
" you have changed you act like a bossy fucking bitch
" and you you changed but you became more jerky and a dick.


Andy POV
I stared at her I was shocked she was different more beautiful not to forget was more stronger and outspoken cause the Rachel I knew was always timid and scared the way she looked at me am sure she was also shocked to cause I changed , well I like it but I felt guilty she had to go jail at the age of eighteen and me twenty cause it took us one year to survive .Then she was seventeen and I was nineteen then when we got arrested she was eighteen and I was twenty now after five years she was twenty three and I was twenty five, I felt bad I still remember that day when it all happened.



FIVE YEARS AGO
Andy POV
It was so bad that after all we went through in the orphanage we came out and got into the wrong hands once again, it was tough to survive we had to live in an incomplete building which was abandon it was hard to eat we had to steal and do all sought of jobs to survive. That's when I met some group of guys Rachel never liked them but I didn't care, the guys introduced me to to Governor Luke-man who do all sought of illegal works to survive I had to join them Rachel was so mad at me reminding me of what we passed through why would I still want to go back to doing more bad, she sold fruits but it was still not enough for us I was not happy I wanted to give Rachel a good life without thinking more and not listening to her I joined them and worked for Governor Luke-man it took just three months after I joined them we move into a little apartment which just had one room and the toilet and kitchen were outside.
That faithful morning I received a call from the guys about robbing a bank after receiving the call I stared at Rachel who was sleeping peacefully she was so Beautifully in her cheap night wear that alone made me sad i looked around our small house then look back at her remembering what she said but I couldn't stop I wanted us to have a better house wear expensive cloths not all this rags we have I wanted us to eat good food and was also sad I couldn't protect our baby she had a miscarriage two months ago she says she was okay now but I know deep down she is not if not for poverty I would have been able to save the unborn child but maybe it was for the best it happened not like am saying it's good but still we could barely eat so how would we fend for the child but either way baby or no baby we always survive we are strong , without much thinking I slowly placed a kiss on her forehead not to wake her then I left.
