Must Read: *FATE_OR_MISTAKES*

It was until a reason dropped on my forehead, that I discovered that I had been standing on that same spot Uche left me twenty minuets ago, without noticing the change of the weather. No doubt it was going to rain heavily.
Rain heavily? When I had no shelter or no place to run to.


I quickly ran into a nearby stall to continue from where I stopped thinking, thinking of my life, cursing Mark, cursing the day I set my eyes on him.

*FLASH BACK* July 14 2012

“Ding dong” that was the sound of the doorbell.


It was a Saturday morning, Everybody was busy as usual. My dad was in his room, he returned from the hospital two days ago because he was having some heart disease. My mum was in the kitchen preparing breakfast while Rachael was there with her washing the dishes. I was mopping the sitting room.


Ding dong
I ignored again.

Mtchew! Rachael has to come and check who’s at the door, I wonder what she is still washing.

Ding dong
“Nancy nti chii?” (Are u deaf)
“Didn’t you hear the doorbell?” My mum shouted from the kitchen. “So Rachael has not finish washing that small plate” I grumbled.


“Ada can’t you see you are closer to the door, just check who’s at the door” my mum a said with a note of finality.


Ding dong
I hastened my footstep to the door. Who wan spoil dis doorbell sef.
“Am coming oh”
“Finally” muttered the tall, handsome man putting on a blue shirt, a red tie and a black trouser. He dressed quite cooperate, I was tripping.


I held the door ajar still staring while he me that “won’t I come in” look.


“Oh sorry come in” I said, letting him step into the tastefully furnished family sitting room.


“Eeehn hmm you must be the doctor my dad told us about” I said immediately he was in and he just kept mopping like “go get your daddy.”

“OK. Let me notify my dad of your presence” I hurried to call him.


Thirty minutes later, Mark was with us on the dining table eating breakfast. My father had asked him to join us for breakfast.


“Ehem Doctor Mark you know my wife already” my father started “yes, I do” Mark replied
Awwn I was tripping for his voice. Under how many minute I was already crushing.
“Meet my two daughters Nancy and Rachael”
“Hi” Rachael said still focusing on her food.
“Nice meeting you” I said in my nicest voice ever. “He would be working with us as our family doctor. He attended to me through out my stay at the hospital and I quite enjoyed his services and besides Mr Ikechukwu said he was competent, moreover I would need some one for home services” my dad concluded and sipped from his glass of water. I doubt If Doctor Mark was even listening cause he just concentrated on his food.


That led to that. I told him I liked him again. He told me to wait. I told him again before I entered this smelling bullshit.


Phew! It was still raining heavily. And everywhere was pretty dark. I guess it was 8o’clock. Wait! Was it actually Mark’s fault? Why cursing him?

FATE OR MISTAKES
Some people blame their misfortunes on evil spirits and witches, not knowing that they are the causes of most of their problems. Or some say their problems or predicament is determined or predestinated by the “goddess of fate”
