Mrs. Raphord (Jamila’s Mom)

I sat down there looking at my daughter as she does what she knows how to do best, I know she is good at addressing people but she is really pulling the weight now as everybody pays rapid attention to her . Everywhere is silent that you can only hear her voice booming, even all the supervisors present all paid attention to her.

She walks smartly front and back as she drops her words smoothly and excellently. I am really proud of her; I wish her father is here to see how the seed he rejected is pulling crowd with her intelligent. I can see her supervisor Mrs. Ariat nodding proudly as if to show everyone that she is her supervisor. At my right hand is the Castle’s family, I know Jamila is very happy on seeing them here; her best friend Sylvia and their clique is sitting down behind me and her brothers at my left hand side

. We all sat down together as one family cheering for our baby girl.

I bet she is the smartest among them cus they made her to be the last person to present and the way all the lecturers both her supervisor and external supervisor paid attention to her, there is no doubt she is really doing well.

Looking at her now remembers me of my youth days, when I blossomed like a flower ready to be plucked but unfortunately was plucked by my husband; we were so much in love not until I became pregnant with Jamila, I needed a baby girl but my husband insists that the three boys where okay. When I became pregnant again his attitude towards me changed emphasizing that I disobeyed him insisting that I have to abort the baby. How can I abort my own flesh and blood, the mere thought of it always give me goose pimples, even at the maltreatment I stood to my words and God consoled me by giving me a baby girl. I thought that my husband’s attitude towards me will change but it got worst but not later did I found out that he has been cheating on me, he used that pregnancy saga to vent his anger on me always so that I will give him chance to marry his mistress but my baby girl gave me the strong heart to move on.

I sniffed

I cleaned my eyes immediately, he is gone and gone for good, and I have to be happy for my baby girl. She achieved what I did not achieve before getting married; besides I don’t want her to feel bad when she finds out the circumstances around her birth, I made sure none of her brothers said a word about it.

 A loud applause brought me back to reality; everybody was clapping really loud for my baby girl. After the comments from the supervisors and it was concluded, she ran straight to where I was sitting and lounged herself at me.

“Mummy, I made it” was all she continued saying, shouting and crying at the same time. I hugged her stroking her back

“Yes baby girl you made me proud”

Jamila

I almost fainted when I mounted the lectern and saw the entire external supervisor ready to criticize my paper maybe that was the reason they pushed my paper to be the last. I looked at Mrs. Ariat but her face wasn’t encouraging and the person sitting beside her Prof. Peterson; my role mode in counseling. I always read his books thinking of the day I will meet him face to face and here he is looking at me waiting to hear what I have to offer.

He adjusted his glasses while I adjust my cloth too. I cleared my throat to start

I raised my face to see my whole family present, even the Castle’s family. Mom’s ever smiling face and Sylvia continuous cheering boosted my morale

“You gat this baby girl” Sylvia mouthed

“Thank you Sylvia” I replied in my mind and smiled back at her

“My name is Jamila Raphord with reg. no……, am here to defend my project topic ‘Communication the soul of Marriage’. During my course of research I concluded that marriage without enough and solid communication will surely go down the drain………..”

That was all I could remember that I said cus the smile that proudly displayed on Mrs. Ariat’s face made me to have 100% confidence on whatever I am saying.

She nudged Prof. Peterson and whispered into his ear after which they just nod and laughed at whatever is funny

I just nod my head and continued presenting my work

Styxx charming smile from where he is sitting was all I could see

At the end everybody gave me a standing ovation and clapped really loud. That really made me happy

. Ariat was displaying her white set of teeth with the perfect open teeth am crushing on while Prof. Peterson puts down his final signature.  What more can God do for me, I ran to my mom and hugged her very tight for being my pillar of support.

All my level mates where looking at me at the way I am hugging my mom but I care less, this woman means a lot to me

“Do you want to suck bre*st again”

That was Sylvia; I know she is the only one that can make that kind of absurd statement. My mom laughed out very loud

“Don’t mind her; she doesn’t know that she is an overgrown baby”

‘Ah ah Mom you too, In fact I am not hugging again, I made to leave but Sylvia dragged me to a tight hug. I laughed and returned the hug.

After the emotional hug, we all went outside to snap group pix. I saw Vivian and her husband standing aside, I beckoned on them to join the group pix

“Thank you for everything Vivian; I wouldn’t have done this without your help…..”

“No thank you, for bringing my family together. I will never forget your goodness upon my family, we really appreciate”

“Yes we do” Mr. Castle said as he joined the conversation

I hugged them both and the little Amara who looks very bright and happy. I am very happy that they made it, truly friends and family is everything.

“You are really a smart kid, I must confess”

I turned sharply to see Prof. Peterson looking at me smiling

“Thank you sir” I replied and bowed slightly

“Talents like yours needs not to be wasted, when I saw your topic I asked that you should be the last person to present and it was worth it”

“Thank you Sir” I replied again smiling shyly

“Congratulations” he stretched his hands for a handshake and I took it gently as if am in heaven

He brought out a richly well designed card “Here is my card, call me after your service, I have something for you”

“Thank you sir…….”  Out of joy I hugged him and surprisingly he hugged me back

“Sir, please your autograph” I turned the back of the card and gave it to him

He collected it from me and signed

“Once again Congrats” He said and walked to his car

“OMG, my heart wants to burst out of happiness” I pinched myself and it pained me really hard showing me that it was real. It happened real real #lol, in Emmanuella voice#

I ran to where my family is standing expecting what I have to say, I broke the news to them and they were really happy for me

“well we will celebrate that fully tonight, bills on me” Marvin my family party freak shouted

“Yesoooo, parriiiiii…..” Kingzee jumped on my behalf #lol#

I looked around looking for one person

“where is Styxx” I asked myself
