Favour wakes up from sleep and went to the window to do her normal and consistent routine, looking into thin space thinking about random but invaluable thoughts that could or could not help her achieve her dreams.
She had a lot of things going on in her life,and she's had really tried sorting out some,but as they say,"we keep trying until we win"
Just then the doorbell rang and she went to check out who could visit her this early, knowing only one person,she smiles as she goes to open the door,only to find who she never expected to see in her lifetime.
There in front of her was the last person she ever thought to see, her dad. He was the best father anyone could ever pray to have,but reality struck her all of a sudden when he travelled to Abuja, Nigeria and never came back again. They could only communicate with him through a mobile phone.she had once called him,only to hear a lady talking with him in a disorderly manner, it was quite heartbreaking to notice such thing. All throughout that month he kept on showering the family with lots of gifts,her knowing what he was up to didn't take his kind gestures seriously.
Now seeing him in front of her smiling as usual just disgusted her,it took a long time before she could finally let him into the sitting room,then she went in to her mom's room to inform her of this apathetic surprise. Lo and behold her Mom expression changed into a belated one. It took favour a while before she adapted to her mom's expression. She wanted to confront her mom,but seeing her this happy was something she wouldn't want to seize,so she just let her be.
It was as if she have been standing for decades as she watched her mom make-up before she led her to the sitting room, as her mom saw her dad,the smile on her face varnished like she was seeing some stranger in her house.only her and her mom could feel the amount of energy she was using to control her temper from bursting out. He greeted her and asked how he has been coping, she replied in a very matured and polite manner.as the conversation went on, Favour excused herself in order to catch her breath from the tense atmosphere
