Over the years— time, seasons and moments has spinned faster than one could imagine...

Stella lifted up her eyes to the chandelier that hung up the sparking white Pop ceiling of the "world class" living room, Lolu always referred to it that way while giving a squeaky giggle.

She pondered on these thoughts that have lingered on her mind for weeks now.

It all started fifteen years ago after her father Pa Jimmu passed on to eternity living her and Lolu to the mercy of their step-mother.
Aunty Kikelomo wasn't the typical African step-mother stereotyped as WICKED and RUTHLESS.

She was charming and sweet, and had the grace of a white woman, the type you see in foreign movies, but Stella was not having it, that woman will never be her mother !!

The more Aunty Kikelomo tried to get close to her husband's children, the more stella drifted far and far away, she also made sure Lolu didn't give her any of his squeaky giggles.

Things between these two sometimes got heated and stella would scream and throw things around, " I hate you" she would mutter furiously.
On the other hand Aunty Kikelomo was always gloomy and in tears wondering what she ever did to deserve such ill treatment from her husband's children whom she has done nothing but accepted genuinely....


Fifteen years later Stella is stucked with resentful children, kids who despise her, despite being their biological children.

For years she has been nothing but miserable, her husband Seyi would only console her saying

"honey calm down, you're being too hard on yourself, they are just kids"

But deep down Stella knew that it was something more mystical than met the eyes— could it be a way of the Almighty punishing her for the way she treated Aunty Kikelomo ?

She sat on her sofa, shaking her petite figure from side to side....INDEED, ONLY TIME WILL TELL 🕕


THE END
Truly time is a machine which magical spins us to reality, beware!!!
