'Sometimes my decisions bring disaster, and sometimes they bring a key. What is important is that you do not lose faith in yourself.'

"Philip? Who is Philip?" Paul asked feeling jealous.

"Philip was my friend, someone I really wish to see again. He was a great cook and his food taste just like yours." Nora explained a little bit.

"Was?"

"Yeah, he's dead, he died some years ago but I believe he is not dead, he promised. He's somewhere out there waiting to be discovered."

"Am sorry for what happened to Philip but you haven't tasted all my food to conclude it tastes just like his."

"You are right there, but I know what I am saying Paul . Who taught you how to cook?"

"To be truthful, I don't really know how I learned it. I saw myself cooking." Paul answered before a message came into his phone.

The house address of Kate Dante displayed on his phone. He smiled and look up at Nora who has been staring at him.

"I just received your house address, you're going home tomorrow." Paul informed her which made her smile. "So let's forget about my cooking and you tell me about yourself."

"I have nothing much to tell, my story is boring." Nora said and resume eating her food.

"Come on tell me

. As long as it is you, it won't be boring to me." Paul told her.

"All my life I have always lose things that are dear to me. My parents, my sister even someone that I love. My parents neglected me together with my twin sister. But he...he was the only one who accepted me with the way I was and he loved me like that." Nora smiled when she remembered Philip love for her.

"Philip?"

"Yes Philip. I had an accident when I was 10 and my parents moved me to live with my grandmother. I met him there and I am happy I did, I find joy whenever I was with him. But my joy was short-lived the day I heard about his death. Is it my destiny to always lose the things I care about?"

You won't lose me because I am going no where.

Paul thought to himself. He wanted to get up and hug her, to tell her it is alright that she now have him but with the way she mentioned Philip's name. It won't be easy for him to make her fall in love again and forget about Philip, but he will try. He will make Ora fall in love with him and have her talk about him the way she does to Philip. He wasn't jealous of Philip, he is mad that this dead boy has engraved himself in Ora's memory.

"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity. Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form Ora." Paul told her.

"Thank you for your kind words Paul. So what about you? Tell me about yourself."

"Will it sound odd if I told I don't remember my childhood?"

"How did you mean?" Nora asked with a frown.

"According to my father, I had an accident which put me in a coma for almost two years. When I woke up I couldn't remember anything. My father was patient with me, he made me who I am today." Paul told Nora with a smile.

"Sorry about the accident, so what do you do for a living? I am a dancer, you?"

Paul didn't know what to say, he find it hard to lie to Ora, he doesn't want to lie to her. But how will he tell her he's into drugs and a mafia lord.

He got interrupted by the ringing of his phone. He saw the caller I.d and his face changed. He picked it and almost tear down the house with his voice.

"I have told you never to call me again Lora. I don't want to use force on you so get this into your stupid head, I Don't like you, not now or tomorrow, till I die I don't like you. Don't ever call this number!"

Did she heard well? Lora? She hopes it wasn't her twin sister.

"Sorry for shouting in front of you Ora." Paul apologise as soon as he realize his actions. "This stupid singer doesn't know when to quit and she is really getting on my nerves."

The rest on the dinner was in silence as Paul was busy chatting up with someone on his phone. When Nora was through with her food, he packed the plates and told her to go and rest. She thanked him and left for the room given to her by him.

She lay down on the bed.

"His food brought back the memories of Philip, I really miss him." Nora said softly as she told Daisy who was sitting down beside her pillow.

"Does it?"

"Yes, definitely he is not telling me the truth, he knows Philip probably from before."

"And what if he was saying the truth?"

"You have a point, either way, something in me tells me Philip is still alive." Nora said. "Anyway, you haven't told me the reason why you vanished and made me believe you were gone."

"Well, when I defeated that evil fairy, my twin sister was livid and since she was holding much higher dark powers, she used it that against me and locked me up forever in the kingdom. Whatever spells she used couldn't permit me to bury any of the dead fairies, for many years that passes by I wish and hope to be free. Then, you came, my spirit lead you to me. You didn't know what you did that night and that was why I had to repay you back, by giving you your voice and sight back."

"I don't understand, how do you mean?"

"When I saw you and you told me you were blind in your world, I was surprised because I see no blindness in you.

Read " The Return Of ijele " by the same author ( Ifeoma Isabella Okeke )

. And when I checked deeper, I saw there was a strong spell and the only way to break it was to be in your world and wait for what lead to your blindness to repeat itself once again." Daisy explained.

"You once told me that I would see and now I can see, thank you daisy." Nora thanked with gratitude.

"You are welcome."

"So can you also tell me if Philip is still alive, please."

"Sorry Nora but the universe doesn't permit me to speak. I only told you how I cured you because it has already happened."

"Oh, I see. So you won't even give me a hint at least?"

"Nop, I won't."

"Since you're already in my world, will you see your twin sister again?"

"Probably we might meet. But I can tell you this, who so ever Lora uses to put you in darkness is definitely worse than a Sluagh fairy."

***

It was towards afternoon when Paul took her to one of his private jet and they set off to Floda.

Arriving at Floda, a Range Rover sport car was waiting for them when they landed.

Exchanging some few words to his men, he left with Nora without any of them.

With the address given to him, locating Kate Dante house didn't take long.

To Nora, this was the first time of seeing the house.

Paul and Nora got down from the car and he knocked on the gate.

The gate man was surprised to see Nora and quickly opened the gate for them to come in. He didn't even wait to lock the gate when he ran inside the house to inform Kate the good news.

Kate and Craig quickly rushed out and hug Nora ignoring the young man that accompany her.

After hugging her granddaughter, Kate lead Nora and the stranger into her house.

"Grandma pretend I could see and talk." Nora told her with her sign which she and Craig were able to read. Kate wanted to ask questions but held herself until their visitor go.

Paul told them how he had saved Nora.

Kate and Craig were thankful. "Mark told us not worry that Ora will be around Casala and that we shouldn't report anything to the police. He said it was his fault and that he would find you within a week. I don't know what entered into me, but I agreed." Kate explained and still thank Paul profusely.

Paul left thirty minutes later when he received a call from his father. He bid them good bye and promise Nora to pay her a visit soon.

"I know you both will be wondering how I was able to talk and see, but I will answer that in a moment, for now, please Mr Craig I need to see Philip's photos." Nora said in excitement.

Craig left them and came back some minutes later with a worried look on his face.

"What is it, where are the pictures?"

"It is strange." Craig said slowly.

"What is strange?" Nora asked in concern.

"I could not find any of Philip's photos anymore."
