The time that Stella mapped out for her journey is due. She's in her room busy arranging her stuff. Before now she has made two different soups for her dad to keep in the freezer.

I can see you are getting ready. Mr Benard asked.
Yes daddy, I made some soup already, that you will put in the freezer. Stella said cheerfully.

Oh that's kind of you thank you my daughter, meanwhile I hope my best soup is one of them.
My Benard asked eagerly.

Of Course I wouldn't make that costly mistake. Is actually egusi and okro soup. She finally announced.

Oh that's perfect. Thank you my dear…
I will be back..
(Mr Benard went into his room to bring some money to give to his daughter)

I know when it comes to you, nothing from me will actually be enough. Please manage this from me.
(He handed her a sum of two million naira)

Dad this must be big, how much is this?

She rhetorically asked as she paused what she was doing and began to count the money.

I don't know how to count it. As she began to count the money, Mr Benard went into his room to get something.

Dad this is really huge, she said as she kept counting. But her dad only smiles without uttering a word.

Two million naira..Dad this is really too much. Stella said in a cold voice.

My daughter has nothing from me that can be too much.please manage it, I believe you can start up something by the time you add up to what you have..
Yes dad and also Jeff sold everything in my former supermarket and sent the money to me. Although I bluntly refused, he insisted I should take it because it was from his heart. Stella reported happily.

Huh! Jeff again, well had it been you who informed me that time,I wouldn't have allowed you to accept that offer.

Daddy I know and this is exactly why I kept it from you. (Be very careful Mr Benard said and both of them laughed)

On a much serious note you really have to be very careful especially this election time is not safe outside please be very careful. You know you are all that I have now.
Mr Benard had a lot of advice for her but he paused.
Yes daddy, I have had all you said I will not let you down. Once again thank you so much for the money.
Is ok my daughter you have thank me enough.

Stella is through with all the arrangement, she begins to walk to the junction dragging her suitcase along while her father helps her with the other bag.

Dad, I am missing you already.

I will miss you more my daughter please take good care of yourself for me.

(They are already at the junction waiting for the bolt man that will convey Stella to the train station to arrive)

Both of them were still gisting when the bolt driver arrived. One could actually see the pain in Mr Benard's face. He's missing Stella already.
Dad I have to go now, father and daughter embraced each other passionately as Stella joined the driver in the car to the train station.
Luckily for her they arrived easily. She immediately walked to the reception to pay for her ticket..
After a few minutes they started hearing the sound of the train coming, which means everybody should leave the railway. Stella and every other passenger started getting themselves and their belongings ready.

Stella knows that there is always a rush as soon as the train stops, so she prepares herself. When the train finally stopped the rush started, everyone was rushing to get a seat inside because standing all through will be more stressful, And your ticket must be with you as the Officers Will be checking it from time to time.

Luckily for Stella she was standing close to the train door, she easily made her way into the train and she looked for a suitable seat and sat there as other people started coming in. She is to stop at Itape, A particular town in Kogi state. Then she will enter a vehicle that will convey her to Abuja.
The first phase of her journey wasn't stressful because she enjoyed every moment in the train. She welcomed stress when she boarded the public vehicle that will take her to Abuja. She arrived late because of the long journey. Her agent has made arrangements for her apartment but she couldn't get to him on the phone at the time she arrived so she decided to spend the night at the hotel.

She decided to settle in Maitama , a particular town in Abuja. She walked majestically into the nearby hotel to book a room to pass the night.

There In her hotel room she vigorously observed every thing in her room and she attested the fact that the hotel is a nice place.
The following day, her agent that will be taking her to her apartment is already on her way. The time she called Stella to inform her that she's on her way, She was still sleeping.

(After three missed calls she managed to picked)
I guess you were still sleeping?

Obviously I Was, it was a long journey.
Stella replied, sounding dizzy.

I understand sorry! Am already on my way coming to pick you just send the hotel location to me now.

Huh I was even saying you should start coming in the next two hours.

Funny you, I am approaching better start getting ready. She replied smiling.
Few minutes later she arrived at the hotel, demanding from the receptionist to see Stella.

Ok I will call her now.(she went through Stella's Data and began to call her.

Room 108 a lady your agent as she introduced. Is here to see you kindly come over to the reception to claim her.

Ok yes please make her comfortable I am coming right away.

Stella summited her key to the receptionist and she went into the car with her agent.. Later they arrive at no 60 road by judges quarter estate Maitama Abuja. It is a 1 bedroom flat that's neatly tiled, the pop and the white screeding wall added another glamor to it. Stella has fallen in love with the building already. There's no need to stress ourselves again. I love this place and am taking it.

I know you will love it . She said cheerfully.

Yes I do once again thank you.. Stella greeted me again..
You don't have to thank me is my job.( Both of them laughed but Stella couldn't stop staring at her)

Sorry this face is really familiar to me, have we met before?
She asked in an inquisitive way.

Am not really sure but I too it seems I have seen the face before.

Oh at Lagos, you must be Becky Jeff's ex. Stella recollected.

Jeff the senator's son, yes do you know him?
Wait, you are his fiancee that caught us painting down in the room. Oh my God I am finished.. Aunty I am sorry. She begged, almost going down on her knees.

Stella smiling, is okay my friend. Jeff is now my ex and that is what he will remain.

Oh my God you guys broke up because of me because of the incident?
Becky is feeling so remorseful.

I know it is not about you, I broke up with him. After some days he came back begging and crying for me to come back. Although I never wanted to, he and his friend kept begging and my friend also joined in the pleas. He assured me he has changed, They assured me that Jeff has changed from womanizing into a responsible man. In the end they succeeded in convincing me to come back, the same week that I returned back to his house that was when I caught you guys making love in our room. ( Noticing that Becky is trying to say something she paused)

This is really bad, why are men like this?
We have been friends on instagram, by the time I came to Lagos to see my cousin. I decided to inform him that I am in his town because we haven't met before.
He told me he's a single father, Looking for someone who will take care of him and his daughter. That was when I decided to take him seriously. I never knew he's just a plantant lier. When you came that day and I saw the pain and betrayal in your eyes I felt it. And do you know when I confronted the fool the following day he didn't feel any remorse. I have to Walk away from him.

Single father?
(Stella laughed).

Am sorry for any pain I must have cost you. I am truly sorry. Becky pleaded.

Common like I said is not about you, he has numerous ladies so I can't vitimize you and like I said he's in my past now so cheer up girl.( She touched her cheek and both of them laughed)

Thank you! You must be sweet, thanks to social media for connecting us.. Becky said feeling excited.
By tomorrow I will come so that we check the supermarket, I have to go now I have meeting in the next hour…( they embraced each other and Becky Walk away)

Alright thank you see you tomorrow then…
