Chapter 6

Angela returned home after the party. The party was a huge success. She narrated how fun the party was to Jane and they were both excited. suddenly, Angela's look changed as if worried about something, Jane asked her what the problem was;

"I think I saw someone looking like Michael at the party." Angela said

" I don't understand you, are you referring to the young man you met at the ghetto neighborhood whom you had dinner with yesterday?" Jane asked.

"Yes, that's the same young man I'm talking about. I saw him in a flash. I'm sure, the person looked very much like him and when I tried sighting his face properly, he disappeared And I didn't see him throughout the party again." Angela replied.

" He is a dry cleaner, he has no business with going to cooperate seminars let alone dinner party meant for business partners. It can't be him. I'm sure you saw someone who looked like him. coincidence happen in life you know." Jane said.

Angela marvelled for a while and later became convinced that she saw someone looking like him. She stayed a while and packed her things to return to Awka State where she came from. Jane bid her sister goodbye. They gave each other a hug and Angela went off in a taxi to the airport.

While Angela was waiting for her flight, Michael called. They had a chat, she explained to him that she was about to board her plane and Michael wished her safe return

After few hours, Angela's flight landed and she got home safely. She was highly welcomed by her mother and her sister Loveth.

Angela hailed from a polygamous family. Her father married two wives. Each wife gave birth to three children. Angela's mother gave birth to three girls while the second wife gave birth to two boys and a girl.

Loveth was the first daughter and First born of the family, Angela was the second daughter while Jane was the Last girl of her mother. The second wife, that's is, their step mother does not live with them in same house so Angela was welcomed by her older sister and her mother.

" Your food is ready dear, come to the dinning and eat" Angela's mother said

"How's Jane? Did she tell you when she will be coming?" Loveth asked

"let her eat first, shower and then you can ask her how her stay with Jane was." Angela's mother said to Loveth.

Angela requested from her sister to let her eat, shower and get herself ready as mum said. She promised to download all the gist for her saying they have alot to

gist about.

" I only waited for you to return so that I can welcome you. I'm going back to my shop, see you later at night sweetie" Angela's mother said and gave Angela a peck on her forehead and left for work.

Loveth did not go to work that day, she's an entrepreneur and has a sales girl. Moreover, she took the day off the minute she heard Angela will be returning home. Angela and Loveth are very close because they stay together unlike Jane who lived far from them and comes home rarely.

When Angela was through, she went straight to meet Loveth who was already waiting for her in the room. They both lied on the bed while Angela narrated all her sweet experiences to Loveth

"I met a very cute young man, he is my taste - tall, dark, red lips ...."

" That description is enough. Hummnn. All for a man you just met" Loveth cuts in

" Seriously, he is cute and my spec" Angela Emphasied.

Loveth asked for the details as to Where she meet him.

Angela answered that she met him in a boutique, he asked her to help him choose a dress for his female friend looking almost exactly like her and she did select a cute dress. And when what she did impressed him and he insisted she picks one for herseldf and then they exchanged Complimentary cards.

" A dress for his friend? Are you sure it's not his girlfriend?"

" No.. I asked and he said she was just a friend.

Angela made Loveth know that it's not what matters. whether she is an ordinary friend or a lover she was sure will displace her and have Michael.

Loveth thought it wasn't proper for her sister to build hope on false foundation. She stressed that she would want her sister to be sure of her stand before building hopes. She also made her realise that she can't build her own happiness on other people's hur or sorrow. If Michael.was already hooked by a lady, she should just respect herself and forget it and let him be.

Loveth explained further that Michael told her he only has a crush for someone whom he was yet to tell and that he wasn't committed to anyone yet.

"What's Jane opinion about him?" Loveth asked

Angela reminded her sister of their decision that Jane can't meet her friends. She explained that Jane didn't meet him but gave her own opinion and unlike Loveth, she encourage her never to give up and keep hoping." Angela said.

Loveth warned her and at the same time advised her to be careful to avoid her from being a victim of heartbreak.

"So how is Jane generally?" Loveth asked

"She's fine, doing great. Although I suspect she is depressed. I didn't meet her at home the first day I got there, she returned the second day and narrated that she was drunk and some guy rescued her and the guy took her to his house" Angela explained.

"Of course she is lonely, it was loneliness that made her isolate herself and pick up jobs at Port Harcourt. It's not her fault but people around her have no choice either." Loveth said

Both sisters had pity on their kid sister - Jane. They love her and missed her so much but they have no choice than to allow her stay away from them.

As they were discussing, Jane called to ask how Angela's journey went. she was happy the journey was a safe one. Her sister Loveth spoke with her also and She asked when Jane will be visiting home. Jane promised to come home during the festive period and they were all glad that Jane will be home again after three whole years.
