*******Episode Sixteen**********
Its Saturday and as usual Helen goes to Kano
central market
(yankura market) to buy all the foodstuff they
are going to need for next week cooking.
When Helen gets to the market, she bought more
than what she
wanted to buy and there were alot that she
could not carry them alone. She couldn’t find
anybody of all these Hausa boys that do
help people with their things and get paid. So
she decided to
try and carry as much she could.
Meanwhile, April who has also came to the
market that Saturday afternoon has been looking
at Helen and her goods for quite sometime and
when she saw that the goods were many for the
woman (Helen) to carry she decided to help her.
April: ”Good afternoon ma”
Helen: ”Afternoon my dear”
April: Ma I have noticed that you have been
waiting here for all
these boys to come and help you carry your
goods but I don’t think any will be coming soon
so I decided to help you with your
things”
Helen: ”That’s very thoughtful of you but I think
you will able to this goods because some are
heavy.
April: ”Don’t worry ma I can carry it”
Helen: ”If you say so”
April: ”Ma please just help me put the things on
my head”
Helen: ”Okay my dear but I won’t allow you to
carry all this things
alone so am going to divide this things into two
for both of us to
carry”
April: ”Okay ma”
Helen helped April to put some of the things on her
head then she carried the rest. It took them
about 10minutes before they got to where Helen
parked her car.
Helen: (helping April to put the things down from
her head) ”Thanks my dear”
April: ”You are welcome ma”
Helen: ”What is your name?”
April: ”April ma”
Helen: ”Nice name. How old are you hope you
don’t mind me
asking?”
April: ”Not at all ma am 18years old”
Helen: ”Wow! Same age with my daughter”
April: ”I will like to take my leave now because I
still have some
things to buy for my mum (turns to leave)”
Helen: ”Wait April” (reaching for her purse to
remove some naira note) ”Take this my dear”
April: ”Thanks ma but I can’t accept this money”
Helen: ”Why my dear? Is the money too small?”
April: ”No ma”
Helen: ”Then why are you refusing the money?”
April: ”Ma I helped you with your things out of
goodwill not for
you to pay me”
Helen: ”Okay my dear and thanks for your help”
April: ”You are welcome. Bye ma”
Helen: ”Bye my dear”
When April left, Helen said to herself ”That girl is
really nice and
smart, I know her mum must be really proud of
her and really
lucky to have her as a daughter ”
When Helen got home, she told her daughter
what happened in
the market.
Helen: ”That girl really surprised me today”
Kimberly: ”Just because she helped you to carry
your things?”
Helen: ”Yes my dear not everybody in this world
would have done that and what she did today
only happened in the older generation”
Kimberly: ”Mum stop making a big deal out of
what she did for you because I myself would
have done that for a older lady”
Helen: ”That’s a lie”
Kimberly: ”Mum am not lying you know am a
good girl”
Helen: ”Yes you a good girl that’s why whenever
you follow me to
the market I will be the one to carry the things
we bought in the
market for you”
Kimberly: (in attempt to change the topic) ”Mum
what did you buy
for me?”
Helen: (with a smirk on her face) I didn’t buy you
anything because you are not a kid anymore”
Kimberly: ”You are joking right?”
Helen: ”No am not”.
Kimberly: ”Mum remember you said I will always
remain a baby
to you”
Helen: ”Yes I said that. I bought a beautiful
dress for you my dear”
Kimberly: ”Thanks mum let me go and check the
dress out”

April got home and told her mum all that
happened in the market, how she helped a
woman carried her things to the car, how the
women wanted to pay her and how she had
refused the money.
Her mother was so happy with what her daughter
did and she
was much happier when she finds out that she
had refuse collecting the money even though
they were poor. she said to
herself ”What a wonderful girl god has given me
as a daughter
and I will remain grateful to him for that”
********Episode Seventeen*******
John and frank together helped Kimberly and
Liza to prepare for
their waec and Neco by tutoring them. In each
passing day Kimberly spent with John, she
discover that her love for him
keeps on growing but she never had the guts to
tell him how she
truly feel about him because she thinks John
don’t have feelings for
her because he treats her as a kid sis and she
didn’t want to spoil
their friendship by telling him how she feels.
While, Liza has been trying everything possible
for Frank to notice her but he never took notice
of her because he only has eyes for Kimberly
alone who seems not to notice
because she is blinded by the love she has for
John.
April has no one but herself to help her prepare
for her waec, she
read endlessly and tirelessly for her waec and
neco so that she
could pass her exams with flying colours. she
didn’t want to
disappoint her principal, herself and most
especially she wanted
her parents to be proud of her.
After a few months the girls were done with their
and they are very sure that they were going to
pass their waec with flying colours because they
know that they put their 101% best in preparing

anymore. My
dear check the things I bought for you and see if
you like it” (handing her the bag containing her
clothes)
April: ”Ok mum”
