Knighted Again – Ch.31 | KT OLLA

NILE’S eyes sparkled when he heard Vickie’s answer.

He pulled her in and held his arms round her.

‘Thank you, baby! Thank you for being you!’

Vickie stiffened up in the close snug, her hands dropping down limply.

Then Nile surprised her.

‘Allow me please,’ he whispered as he bowed to peck her cheek.

The girl’s belly bolted when the dude pecked her. She didn’t know what to say and what not to do.

She thought hard then she left all things called math.

Now she climbed on her toes and pecked her boy back. It was just her liking him.

Nile smiled as Vickie brought her own arms round him. She hugged him then stayed there in the boy’s clasp. 

She closed her eyes and thought just one thing. That she’d found love at long last.

Suddenly, the youngsters heard a smartphone ring in the sand behind them. They figured that it was Vickie’s.

‘I guess that’s your mum calling,’ Nile said, loosening the clasp.

‘She must be wanting you back now, you know.’

Vickie didn’t move at the words. She in fact seemed to tighten her grasp on him.

‘Let’s stay this way a bit longer, please. I think I’ve finally found a home.’

The young dude sighed as he seemed to know what the lady meant.

The 19-year-old boy had a childhood similar to Vickie’s. So he knew why she’d called him home.

The incoming call came to end in a bit. So Nile dropped another surprise.

‘Victoria, look at me!’

Vickie loosened her arms and stepped back to hear him.

Nile picked up. ‘Let’s marry sometime next year. Especially when we’re back from marine service.’

The girl was listening.

‘See, we’re done studying. Then we’ve got a paying career to build life on!

‘You see, when we get back from wherever we’re separately deployed in our 1-year marine service, then we’ll just be back enough to start a family. How about that?’

Well, Nile knew how Vickie and him had been a lovely, doting pair. And there they were now, starting to love each other and date...

He knew they were now on to some fast lanes.

So, Vickie was smart enough to get what exactly her man was hinting now. She liked it when he took it from that angle.

‘Ah, Nile is so responsible!’ she breathed to herself. ‘And that’s why I like him!’

Meanwhile, the Cape Islands had got a civil defence system administered by its Naval Force.

The policy went that every graduate youth between the ages of 18 and 25 was drafted into marine service following their college study.

They were deployed to onshore defence units and trained as naval police in several areas of trafficking.

The paranaval squads were to serve for a year and leave. Then they could be called up again at any time of civil chaos around shore.

Now Vickie agreed with her man about marrying sooner. Still she’d got something else to spill.

‘You know you’re just my kind of macho!’ she told Nile.

Then she turned jelly. ‘Thank you again for being my man!’

Nile looked at her and only smiled. ‘Shall we head back now.’

Right then Vickie felt a girl again.

She replied, ‘Yes sir!’ Then she stuck to Nile’s side.

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 9 | KT OLLA

ABISHUM wasn’t done speaking. So she picked up on the matter as things were bound to change. She spoke: ‘See, it was a bedroom cry for Aleph. But not until the day things were shoved in her face… ‘And that day she gave up on hoping! ‘Well, what Aleph thought was the reason why Beth couldn’t marry, was different from what it was with people. ‘She used to think it was because there was no man in her house to ask the daughter from. As is our customary practice in Israel.  ‘But when a drunken man shoved it in her face one night, it hurt her too much what people say. ‘“No one will marry your daughter, woman! Why will anyone do? When death hides in her bosom like it hid in yours. Or why did your husband die? ‘“Look, if you don’t know it – your family is cursed! You only have one child in a nation of plenty. ‘“God has prospered Israel with many children like the sea sand. But what do your family bear? Only one! ‘“So, who will want your cursed daughter for his son to love? You really don’t...

MUSTARD I – Ch. 7 | KT OLLA

NOW it had rained all morning this day. And the sun was finally tearing through clouds to take the day’s glory. It was a brief break for the villages of Ede’s farmlands. As they rested from taking turns in harvesting yams. The town’s harvest season of yam and cassava tubers were in the rains... So they worked double to get them stored in barns and sold in markets – to avoid early rot in the wet weather. Yes, the crops were sources of flours and flakes for main foods. And several kinds of yam – like the ewùrà, ebòlò and the white yam, were also prepared as meals. So, everyone was out going about their own business those rest days... The farmers would go for a routine check on their farm every morning. And return earlier than the time to gather for talks by evening. Every evening, the men would sit under the shade of trees, and play board games amid talk and drinks. They’d talk about everything. From the ruler to their people. And to their wives and children. The young Moro chose to go a...

MUSTARD II – Ch. 8 | KT OLLA

NOW Oji and Daleka went in to meet their brother as his wife hurried out of the house. ‘You meet me well, brothers,’ Morrow smiled as he dished his food. ‘Care to join for breakfast?’ ‘Oh we just had ours, big bro,’ Oji answered for them. ‘Thanks for the offer.’ ‘In that case, will you—?’ ‘Oh never mind,’ their youngest smiled, ‘we can sit and talk while you go on eating. We also have things to share with you.’ He looked to his partner for agreement and Oji nodded back. Yes, it was the culture there for someone to invite their guest to table when the latter meets them dining. Then, it was the right ethic for the guest to decline with thanks. Morrow glanced at them. ‘Oh really? Have your seat then. ‘And meanwhile, you did a lot helping last night – I appreciate it. Please tell your wives, too, we’re grateful.’ ‘Well, that is nothing,’ Oji waved a hand. ‘We are grateful that you returned! That you came home alive!’ Morrow looked at them and smiled. He had just finished dishing, so he smi...
