*EPISODE THREE*
Mercy was still sleeping when her phone rang. It was her friend Tolulope.
“Oooo….oh… who is disturbing my sleep” she said as she pushed the phone aside and it rang again the second time. She stood up as she managed to pick up the phone. She didn’t even check the caller as she answered the call
“Hello”, she said as she yawned.
“Silly girl, I know you will still be sleeping. Well, it’s not your fault. It’s the federal government that caused it. Well I have a good news for you”. Tolu said as she paused to know her reaction.
“Hello…. who is speaking? She asked and yawned again.
“Seriously, I can’t believe it. Is this how you sleep everyday that you can’t even recognise my voice. Okay. It’s me Tolulope Adeyemi. Just incase you want to ask which tolu again” Tolu said harshly
“Ooh tolulope…. Tolu Jay, I am sorry. I had a short night yesterday. What good news do you have for me? Mercy asked.
“Please, i have told you to stoping me Tolu Jay. I have broken up with that nigga so, I am not sharing names with him anymore” she said.
“Okay, I am sorry again. So what’s the news? She asked.
“Now you are talking, check your nysc portal. I just found out that I am going with this batch and I am posted to Edo state" She said happily.
“Wow…. congratulation darling. Finally I am happy for you. Let me check mine, I will call you back.
*EPISODE FOUR*
Mercy was happy and was about to check her portal, when her mummy called her.
“Oh God! What again this time? I just pray she won’t ask for my phone. I don’t even want to see her now”. Mercy murmured and answered her. Getting to the sitting room, she saw her mother all dressed up for work.
“Good morning ma” she greeted
“Good morning dear. I hope you slept well? Her mother asked
“Yes ma“she said and smiled faintly
“Mercy, Your father and I are sorry for what happened yesterday. We don’t mean to hurt you. We love and care for you. We want you to be the best and also to your siblngs. We don’t want them to notice anything now they are back from boarding school. You know how sensitive and inquisitive they are” her mother said.
“Mummy, I understand but I need you to trust me and your prayers. That’s all” mercy said calmly
“Trust me dear, we are praying for you and we trust you” mother said and smiled
“Thank you ma” Mercy said and hugged her
“Are you going out today? Or you are staying at home? Mother asked
“I am going out to Tolulope Adeyemi’s house. I heard the list of those going to camp is out and Tolu is going with this batch. So, I need to visit her after checking mine” Mercy said and smiled.
“Wow…… that’s great. My greeting to her. Make sure you check yours, we will talk when I come back from work. Take care of you” mother said as she pecked her and left.
