HOOK, LINE AND SINKER (Episode 13 - Episode Finale)

Three weeks later "Thank you so much" She stretched out her hand to shake the outstretched hand of her doctor - Mrs. Williams. She preferred to call her that. She was her counselling psychologist but she'd rather just call her Doctor to make herself feel better about the entire arrangement. It had been a rather stressful exercise having to admit painful truths and literally confess those truths during the sessions. "You're always welcome." Mrs. Williams smiled back. " So I'll see you..." "Friday." She moved the chair she was previously sitting on back to its former position and made her way to the door. "And I promise to be here on time" She gave a reassuring smile before shutting the door. She stopped outside the door for a few seconds to catch her breath before making her way out of the building. The sessions were becoming more hectic. She had just spent the last hour trying to convince her doc

As he drove them all to the hospital, a million and one things ran through his mind. Bisola had collapsed so fast, he couldn't get a chance to ask Sharon to explain herself. Sharon on the other hand, seemed to have had enough of the drama. She had picked her hand luggage as they hurried to the hospital. At first, he thought she was going to drop by on the way to the hospital but when she followed them on, he figured she had plans to leave when Bisola was stable. It was obvious she was indeed a good friend. But that was not the issue here. He needed answers. Peju on the hand could not be consoled. She kept crying till they got to the hospital. She feared for her cousin. She kept hoping that the doctors would find nothing terribly wrong with her, especially in connection with her brain. It was awkward to know someone this close that would have issues with her mental health, albeit self-imposed denial. That's what she chose to call it after listening to Sharon's side of t

He drove as fast as he could and luckily for him, the address was easy to locate. He rushed for the door and stopped himself from knocking so hard. "Breathe" He told himself for the umpteenth time. He had been telling himself that since he left the house for the mall where he just sat in his car to put calls through to Bisola. This was huge for him. He was a father and somehow, he was the last to know. He thought of his mum as he waited for Peju to call him back. She wouldn't be proud of him. This was not the plan. She had trained him too well for him to turn out this way - an irresponsible man like his father. He was not going to be that man; the one that never showed up for his son, never took responsibility for his upbringing and practically disappeared all through his life. He was going to take responsibility. He knew Bisola would not cook up such a serious allegation just to be with him again. She had stood by him in the darkest of days and he had abused the l

When Peju was tired of knocking, and issuing out threats to break the door open, she relaxed on the floor and rested her back on the door. She tried to make sense of what the commotion was about. At first, nothing made sense, especially since the argument was about a child and Bisola seemed to take breaks from her screaming and yelling every five minutes or thereabout. Whenever it seemed the uproar was coming to an end and there was a bit of quiet, Peju would knock again and Bisola would yell back at Sharon. It seemed her continuous knocks on the door was the prompt Bisola needed to resume her yelling. Peju however found it strange that the name 'Kaina' was mentioned every time Bisola resumed her yelling, crying, screaming or the three at once. Or maybe not. Peju was certain that the commotion had something, if not everything, to do with KainaM. She suddenly remembered her promise to call him back. She jumped up from the floor and rushed to get her phone from the sittin

I would like to apologize firstly to every single person that is devoted to this blog and/or at any time has read a post on this blog, for my recent inconsistencies. My next apology is to myself for being so hard on me for not meeting the target I set for the release of the episodes for this series. Lol. It's been a super hectic past few months and it's only fair that I let everyone know I'm no super human, just in case anyone has been thinking otherwise. I set a one-month target for the completion of this series and I've been unable to meet that target for so many reasons. But the good thing is I haven't given up! And that's the short message I wanted to pass across before we go on with the next episode of Hook, Line and Sinker. Don't give up on the goals and targets you set at the beginning of the year. It may seem that time is running out (and yes, time is actually running out. It's June already and I wish I could push the year back to February.
