Anna

Finally, am done writing my     C.A tests for this term and the results will be out soon. I know I would pass excellently as I always do.

I don't seem to have any competition here at Crystal, well unlike my former school where there was Queeneth Ike.

That girl always made sure to beat me no matter how had I studied.

At a time I started to suspect whether she was a witch..

But you can't blame me, the girl really gave me a hard time..

But here it seems there is no Queeneth to compete with,so I will make sure I emerge the best student in the class this term.

Mabel has been working really hard too,am sure she will have good results too.

********

It's a Saturday today and am all alone at home,my mum had gone to visit a colleague of hers who had just put to bed.

I have always wanted siblings but I never got to have any, when I was little I used to cry to my parents to buy me a baby sister and they will tell me that the woman selling the babies had travelled out of the country.

And then they will promise to get me the baby sister I wanted when the woman gets back.

Eventually, when I grew older I realized that babies were not bought from anywhere and the woman my parents always told me about never existed.

It was when I was ten that I learnt the truth that my mother had complications giving birth to me, which resulted to her not being able to conceive again.

I was sad I still am , I even blamed myself for what had happened  but my mom made me understand that no one was to be blamed for what had happened.

That children were from God, and he alone giveth children when the time deemed fit for him.

I finally accepted my fate as the only child, and then I meet Folake in grade school and we became great friends.

She was like my sister from another mother.

Back then in Osun, whenever I felt lonely I would go to her house and would sometimes spend the night there.

Both our parents didn't mind because we were inseparable and anyone that didn't know would think we were twins.

I logged into my WhatsApp account but she was offline and so was my new friend Mabel...

Oh God! Why did today have to turn out this way...

Well I could get something to eat first before thinking of what to occupy myself with

I lazily drag my feet to the kitchen.

I just pray I don't die of boredom before my mom gets back...

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sound of the doorbell woke me up from my sleep.

I reluctantly went to the door and opened it, and it was my mom.

"Welcome Mom"I greeted her stepping aside for her to come in

" Thanks honey,am sorry I stayed this long we got engrossed in discussions that I didn't even know it was getting late" my mom said

"Hope you've had something to eat?"she asked  while taking her sit on the couch I had been laying down on earlier

"Yes, I made noodles. I was watching a movie when I fell asleep on the couch" I  replied coming to sit beside her

"How's your colleague and her baby?" I asked

" Ow both mother and child are doing fine, it's a baby boy and a very cute one at that" my mother replied

She had a dreamy look on her face, and I know that look very well.

I have seen it countless times on her  face, my mom loved kids a lot and whenever she would visit a new mom or attend a naming ceremony she would have this look, which will then later on turn to tears.

I just wish God will answer our prayers and add just one more member to our family, I would be the happiest person on Earth.

But then we can't do anything but hope that God will send a miracle someday, I have hope that my mom will someday conceive again.....

But as the saying goes that
God's time is the best

And then with the story of Sarah and Hannah in the Bible...

We are still hoping and waiting for God's time....
