ABUJA

           ITS BEEN A whole week since Charlie's husband was confined to the hospital bed still in a comatose state.

She had lose weight due to stress,having gone to several places to seek solutions but it had yielded to no avail, her mind was preoccupied she didn't even notice when her daughter Somma had parked the car close to a big mall.

"Mum" Somma tapped her hard on the shoulder which made her jump

"Seriously mom you need to stop doing this,shutting yourself out from reality"

"Am okay dear"

"Daddy is going to be fine,he has a strong fighting spirit and he won't give up to death that easily,so stop been dead to the world" Somma  spoke softly holding her mothers hand in reassurance.

    Somma only a girl of twenty two, light skinned like her father with a striking resemblance,she was graceful and had a vision of becoming worlds best surgeon which her father had promised his full support morally and financially, four more years before she graduated from Gordon's medical university in London she still wanted to believe her world was not crumbling.

"Why did we stop anyways " her mother asked

"I need to get some personal stuff from the grocery store"

"Okay , don't take too long the night vigil has worn me out"

"I know,I will be back in a jiffy"
Charlie watched as her daughter found her way into the mall .

  The early morning sun stood proudly at its peak as hawkers filled the tarred road advertising there wares to slow moving vehicles.

She allowed her eyes to roam round the street and imagined  how beautiful the world would be with no problems,as for problems it was like a glue stuck in her skin.

A cool wind blew in the car,she decided to step down resting her back to the car she took notice of the things around her,there was a similar bus stop where passengers sat to wait for long buses it reminded her of the first time she met Ike her husband it was more like she been a damsel in distress and he was her knight who came to the rescue.

"I see a dark cloud hovering around you"
A deep voice spoke suddenly from nowhere which made her jump

"Jesus! Who are you" she screeched seeing a man haggardly dressed looking at her in a strange way

"There is a storm brewing a very heavy one,the wind howls angrily,there is darkness,there is pain,there is agony, I feel so afraid for what I see would become of you,is so terrifying,you will loose the proof of your existence on Earth"

Charlie seems more flummoxed she studied the man trying to make out who he was,he was too thin to have such a heavy voice,maybe he was one of those agbero boys who duped people as a means to make money
"Let your heart not rest for war had been declared.. Run...Run and hide" he said in  low whispers and walked away not even demanding for money.

Charlie tried to weigh every words the man had spoken there was some truth to it at least there was a dark cloud Hovering
"Hey! Hey you" she shouted going after the man when her daughter called out running after her

"Mum! mum,what's wrong with you? why are you going after a mad man"

Charlie wanted every reason to believe he was a mad man her inner sense of reasoning thought otherwise.
"That man! that..."she pointed at nothing in particular

" what about that man"Somma asked confused seeing her mother state

Charlie shakes her head confused"never mind let's just go home"
