“Dad! You scared me! Anyways, Thank you for surviving it” Samantha said in tears.
“Why are you now crying when you have a happy face?” Mr Brooklyn asked cleaning Samantha’s flowing tears with his hand
“I’m just glad, It’s tears of joy” Samantha smiled
“What really happened hunny? Huh? You made me almost faint” Mrs Brooklyn said as tears rushed from her eyes
“A car ran to me when I was about crossing the road but don’t worry I’m okay… Geez, Why do you guys keep crying huh? Please… Don’t cry, I’m not dead as you can see?” He said with a smile
“But Dad? What about the person that hit you?”
“Huh? Well, She survived it”
“Huh? She? Is she a woman?”
“More like a lady, She had long hair–
“Wait, Did you see her face?”
“I did, But I’ve forgotten how she looks like”
“Where’s she now?” Mrs Brooklyn asked
“The thing is that….It’s a hit-and-run”
“What? Hit-and-run?” Brooklyn and her mum yelled simultaneously
“Well, Yeah.. Immediately, She hit me with her car… She zoomed off immediately but I saw her face, She came out of the car to take a look at me. She checked my heart beat and pulse. After doing that, She entered the car and left without a word She didn’t even call the ambulance or even the cops, though, I can’t just remember who she is… Anyways, The police will work on that… What of Joshua and Carly?”
“So? A good Samaritan brought you here? Samantha asked. Her dad nodded.
“Thank Godness, The Good Samaritan called with your phone, I’m glad he did so” Mrs Brooklyn said
“Mum, Dad, Let’s keep it a secret from Josh and Carly, I don’t want them getting worried”
“I might stay here for weeks before I get myself together…. What will you tell them as an excuse for my absence?”
“Mum will just lie to them saying you rushed to our hometown to take care of some business or family matters, You know?”
“Yeah sure, It might work on Josh but not on Carly , She asks a lot of questions…. She’s smart you know?” Mrs Brooklyn said
“That doesn’t matter, We don’t really have to reply all her questions,,We will just tell her the necessary ones… That’s all”
Mrs Brooklyn nodded and smiled.
“Dad, I have something to tell you, Rather… It’s a gift for you from me”
“What? Really? I’m excited!..What’s it?”
“I’m going to now make your wish come true, I’m going to register and write another exam, I’m also going to make you proud and happy by doing very well in my papers!” Samantha whispered with a smile.
“Oh my! Lovely daughter… Thank you so much, Do you know? That’s the best gift ever, You just placed a smile on my face, Thank you My Sweetheart! Come over here, Give dad a hug!” Mr Brooklyn said as he raised hiself up from the bed. Samantha went closer to him and hugged him tight. “Thank you for making my wish come true” He whispered to her ears as he felt joyful tears flow from his eyes.
“Thank you too for living” Samantha whispered back as tears flowed from her eyes.

Samantha was riding the bicycle back home before her mum’s voice asked from behind;
“So? Will you tell your friends what happened to your father?”
Samantha deeply sighed and replied;
“You know the answer yourself already, Don’t bother asking”
“But you didn’t want Josh and Carly to find out”
“Both are different mum! Even in this time, You are still going to nag? You never change!”
“So?…..Will you really stop working as a delivery girl for me?”
“I already told you…I’ve gotten a job!”
“What job? Do they pay well?”
“Yeah… Very, So… Find someone else for delivery”
“No problem, I will…. But were you sincere then?”
“When?”
“When you said you would write another exam and make your dad proud?”
Samantha sighed angrily and stopped the bike suddenly hitting the brakes hard. “Hey, Why did you stop? We are in the middle of the road?” Her mother whispered
“Mum, You are really annoying…. Do you know that? Okay now, I’m going to make sure you regret nagging and saying words like that to me! You will see,, You will be so surprised! I wonder when you are going to encourage me… You have never encouraged me since I was born? Why? What did I do wrong?! Huh?” Samantha yelled in tears
“Okay… Okay….People are starting to stare at us and it’s embarrassing, Please…. Just quietly move this thing” Mrs Brooklyn whispered hitting the motorcycle. Samantha looked and watched different eyes staring at them like they were acting some really suspenseful movie. She sighed deeply and started the engine instantly which left the scene.

The Sky Boys Band were busy throwing out some lines from their song for their new album when they heard a distracting knock.
“Who’s that?…Such person is really something else” Blaze whispered.
“I wonder! Darn it… Let me see who’s that” Brad said as he moved to the door. He opened it and gasped.
A beautiful girl came in. She had make up on with expensive clothes, Her shoes were to die for. She was so beautiful and segzy.
“Wow! Can’t believe my girlfriend is here? You guys… Brad and Blaze, You are in trouble for bad mouthing my baby!” Newton said as they laughed.
“Okay… Have fun, Let’s go Brad and I can’t wait to see the trouble” Blaze said jokingly as they went out leaving the love birds on their own.
“Baby, I missed you so much” The girl whispered as she walked up to Newton . She slowly sat on his laps and looked at him.
“Don’t mind my friends,–I really missed you hunny…” He smiled as he pecked her lips slowly wrapping his arms around her tiny waist.
“But by the way, Myles…. You promised to come last night? Why didn’t you come later on?” Newton asked curiously
“Wow, I just like it whenever your segzy voice calls my name “Myles”…”
Newton chuckled and smacked his lips segzily. “I’m your boyfriend after all… You are my first and last girlfriend, You know that?” He whispered.
“So? Why didn’t you come last night like you promised?…You kept me waiting?” He asked asking curiously looking into Myles’s eyes.
Myles’s eyes blinked as she slowly bit her lips.
“Uhmm…No reason, Huhh? Something just came up… Sorry baby” She finally answered with a whisper as she slowly went to his segzy looking lips.
