I walked towards our seat,and I sat down.......
I kept mute because I didn't know what to say,he didn't say anything either.
I tried talking but the word could not come out.
All I did was just stare at the ground,I couldn't look into his eyes.
I Wasn't scared to talk to him,but I didn't know what to say.
What am I going to say??.....
Where will I start talking from??
I decided to talk again but all was still in vain,I couldn't.
Suddenly I decided to summon the Courage to talk.
"Adrian!!!" I called his name and we both called each other names at the same time.
"I know this is so shocking to the both of us but I guess we have to move on and act as brothers and sisters" I said.
"Move on??" He asked.
"Yes," I replied.
"Hmmm I don't think you really know how painful it is to know that my parents have been hiding something from me," he said.
"You are not the only one pained here,am also is just that have accepted everything the way they are now,I can't kill myself,it has already happened....I wish i am not born at all to this world" I said.
"You can't understand Natalia apart from that. What if we have started dating each other??" He asked.
"Dating??" I asked surprisingly.
"Yes..... because I have been in love with you since and have been waiting for us to finish exams so I can tell you,I even wanted to tell you the day my mum passed out but I couldn't because of what happened" he said.
"Adrian you must be kidding me??so you've been hiding such a thing from me since and you didn't tell me"I said.
"I thought you would be angry if I told you," he said.
"But let's just thank God that something like that did not happen between us..... and am also sorry for not telling you this, maybe it is because of an exam and what has been happening,me and Ryan are dating now.....we are both in love with each other" I said.
"What??" He said.
"Yes but I am sorry I didn't tell you since" I said.
"Since when??" He asked.
"For a while now" I answered.
"So that means you guys have been dating and am here always thinking about you and how to tell you my mind .......you would have tried to tell me" he said.
"Am sorry" I replied.
And I hugged him.......
Before we know it our professor enters inside.

Since yesterday that mum left , she has not come back.
Even my dad has not come to visit me, could it be that he did not hear about this or because he is angry with me that is the reason why he did not come.
All my mates are in school writing exams now and here I am.
I just pray they still come.....mum might still come she can never abandon me.
I will wait patiently for her.
I pray she brings food while coming because I am really hungry.

Immediately we were done with our exams. I will be happy.
Adrian and I hugged each other happily.
We held each other's hands and walked happily to where our cars were parked.
Many students were just staring at us but we didn't mind.
I was surprised when I entered the car. I didn't know Ryan was waiting for me in the car......I thought it was only Scott that came to pick me.
I waved at Adrian while he left to where his car was parked.
Ryan hugged me immediately.
"Congratulations baby," he said.
And our car zoomed off.

When we got home,I entered the room and changed while Ryan waited for me outside.
When I was done we left the house and drove straight to Ryan's house.
When we got there,I met Adrian in the sitting room.....and we both smiled at each other when he saw me.
While Ryan and Adrian also shook hands with each other.
I felt so happy seeing them like that.....I still can't believe Adrian is my brother and he once had feelings for me.
I heard footsteps coming down and it was Adrian mum and dad.
Oh! Sorry, mum and dad.
I greeted them while Ryan did the same.
"So before we left the house I prepared something for us," my mum said.
"Wow.... thanks ma" Ryan said.
"So can we go to dining hall now??" she asked.
"Sure" we all chorused and followed her.
She dished out the food for us,and Ryan could not stop staring at me...he was sitting down beside me.
We started eating, mostly in silence. But after a while, "dad" started bringing up some little chats.
I didn't pay attention with the way he was staring as I just focused on my sumptuous suddenly shirked,
Not long after we all finished eating and we all left the dinning.
Even though we did not know each other well....I really enjoyed myself and I felt happy with them.
"Ryan and Natalia with Adrian both of you will take one car so Natalia can show us the place while we follow you guys" my dad said.
"Ok sir" Ryan replied.
Adrian was so happy because he is going to join us.
We got into the car...... while we drove off...

Later in the day mum came.
She was just silent,she didn't say anything to me.
"You have been discharged,"she said.
I just stared at her in awe with the way she was acting.
I stood up weakly from the bed and followed her into the car.
We drove home and she still didn't talk to my greatest surprise.
"Mum, I'm sorry" I cried out.
But there was still no reply.
When we got home I got down from the car and I was surprised the first person I saw was my dad.
"Why is he at home?? I thought he would not be at home by this time of the day".
"I am finished," I thought.
"Dad, I'm sorry" I quickly ran to where he was standing and knelt down.
He kept quiet also and shifted from me.
"What is happening??"...
"Why are they not talking to me?" I thought.
Mum entered the house while dad followed him.
I quickly ran and followed them in with tears.
And immediately I entered,I started hearing the sounds of cars entering outside.
Daddy was surprised and he peeped through the window.
" What??" Daddy screamed.
And I stared at him with confusion.
"Natalia is here" dad screamed and wanted to run inside the wall.
"What??" Mum sprang on her feet immediately.
"I don't...I don't understand! What are you talking about...are you dreaming about Natalia??? How's that possible?" She gibbered.

After we had driven for a long time,we finally got to the house.
The gatekeeper opened the door for us and we drove inside the compound.
When we got down from the car,I stared at the house and it still looked the same.....and I kept remembering my past memories in the house.
The times I will be chased outside at night and I will sleep outside on the bare floor and I will start feeling cold.
I didn't know when tears spilled out of my eyes while remembering what I had passed through.
We walked to the door and knocked there was no reply.
We knocked for a very long time and there was still no reply so we decided to open the door......
Immediately we opened the door,we were all surprised by the way we met them..
Eva's dad was trying to run while her wicked mother was standing and Eva too looks pale like someone who has been crying since.....she does not look like the sexy and classy Eva I used to know.
She stylishly wanted to enter inside and I drew her back.
I know they were surprised that I didn't come alone....they just opened their mouths widely and they couldn't talk.
"Babe is this the people?" Ryan asked.
And I nodded.
And immediately he ran to the evil man and wanted to punch him but my dad held him.
"Stop..... wait" my dad said.
Eva's Dad pov
I am doomed........
Where will I run to now.....
My secrets have been exposed.
Is just like the group should open and swallow me...... what am I going to do??.
"Aaaaah this girl has finally revealed my secrets......if I had known I would have killed her when I had the opposite" I thought.
How am I going to do it now??.

"Who are you guys?" Eva's mum asked, trying to act smart.
"Where are you from.....why will you just barge into someone's house without invitation"she said with a crack voice
And her husband nooded too.....
"Woman, are you kidding me so you want to act as if you don't know her right.......if I hear anything from you again I will call the cops" my dad said.
And immediately she knelt down and started crying.
"Please is not my fault!!! It was the devil's work" she said.
"Did you know her now.....yes or no" my dad asked again.
"Yes' ' she said and nodded.
"So you can know me now right.....you this evil woman..... have you forgotten so soon??" I asked her..
But she kept quiet and started crying while his husband too was crying.
"Oooooh!!! You don't remember......let me remind you, have you forgotten how you use to beat me even though I am right, have you forgotten how you treated me like trash, have you forgotten how you would starve me..... have you forgotten how I always have sleepless nights to make you comfortable, have you forgotten how you use to chase me out......or will you also say you did not know your husband raped me huh, have you forgotten so soon and so many things like that" I asked her with tears.
"It's okay" Ryan said and wiped my tears.
"What???"my mum and dad said to Adrian.
"Am sorry!!! Please, it is just that I was jealous .....when I noticed you are a glorious child I started hating you so I don't want you to be greater than my own daughter but I don't know that it will all be in vain"she said.
And I laughed......
"Vain?? I thought you had succeeded" I said and laughed.
"No ooooo,am sorry Natalia.....The Eva who is trying to do all this for is pregnant now....if I had known I wouldn't have done evil to you" she said.
"Pregnant??" Adrian screamed and asked.
And I laughed hysterically again.
"Am not surprised.....birds of the same feathers..why would she not be pregnant?? Are you both supposed to be called parents??" I asked.
"Natalia please calm down......... did you mean this man raped you" dad and mum asked.
"Yes dad" I answered.
"What??" The evil family shouted.
"Is this your dad?" they both chorused.
