           BROKEN
       (Episode 5)

(Recap)

I vividly remember that day like yesterday.


It was a very gloomy day.
You see, it was the rainy seasons and so everywhere was quite dull and gloomy but something set that particular day apart. Maybe it was because I woke having the feeling that something bad was going to happen that day but I shrugged it off as one of my crazy moments (we all have them).
Now, back to that day.
One thing I noticed when I woke up was that everyone was wearing a long face and trying to cover it up with a fake smile. (NOTE: it was a holiday season and I was at my grandpa's house since my dad was equally ill)
Nobody was bothered with breakfast and my uncles were just coming into the house and leaving abruptly, not to talk about the whispers and side looks that were being passed to me when I they thought I was looking.

I still thought nothing of it until my grandparents' nosy neighbour came to talk to grandma. I felt she'd come to talk about an issue she had with another neighbour, colleague or friend (as usual) until I started hearing things like "coma, his daughter, she doesn't know".
That's when it dawned on me that everyone was having a tea party and I wasn't invited.
So, I decided to do what a typical 13 year old would do. I waves dropped (till this day, I never eavesdrop).
That's when I discovered that my grandma was actually talking about my dad being in a coma.
" Ahhh"!! I exclaimed  out of shock and I quickly scurried away so nobody would see me.
I went into my room and kept wondering because I'd heard cases of Coma patients passing on to the great beyond.
I prayed to God not to let it be my dad's case.
It didn't take long my when my grandma walked into my room and started scolding me that (again as usual) that I was being too lazy (I had no chores to do anyway) and didn't I know I wasn't a kid anymore?
I ignored her cos I was so far away in my thoughts.
She got mad and blurted out "You stupid girl! Do you know what's going on?" I replied with "my dad is in a coma, I know".
Then she said..
" Not just that, your dad is dead"!
At first all I could hear was "Mummy! Mummy!! Johnny!!! Reuben!!!! (My uncles) Help! Help!!
That's when I blacked out.

What lessons have you learnt so far?
Best answer gets a peek at the next series.
Have any questions??
Hit me up with them.
Have a great week.

LIFE AS IT IS- VOWS

Vow's When he approached home, he was full of remorse. All he felt within him was sadness. And apologies, all he had constructed on his way back home. He was going to start with the gift he had bought and then go down on his knees. He would plead until she forgave him and this time he promised himself, this time things would be alright. He opened the door with care. Moving quietly, not doing anything that would disturb her. When he entered, it was silent. Their house had never been silent. It was either she was cooking while humming to herself or listening to her favorite artists. Songs of Lana Del Rey and Halsey. Most times she would sing along and one couldn't help but feel the longing in her voice. Those times, he had felt sobered. Not knowing how to help, not matter how much he had tried. This time it was not what he expected, and even though he didn't want to admit it to himself, it felt peaceful. Once upon a time, their life had been like a fairy tale. N...

Transmission system Transmission System Transmission system is used in motor vehicles to supply the output of the internal combustion engine to the drive wheels. The transmission reduces the higher engine speed to the slower wheel speed, increasing torque in the process.

It is a mechanical device that transfers all power from the engine into the transmission of a vehicle. Without a properly operating clutch, power transfer and gear shifting would be very difficult.

FASHION TABLE WITH STEPHANIE: HOW TO TAKE ACCURATE BASIC MEASUREMENTS

 HOW TO TAKE ACCURATE BASIC MEASUREMENTS  So last week when talking on how to get the perfect fit, the first thing on our list was "taking accurate measurements". Being the nice and helpful person I am, I've taken the time out to list the basic measurements we need for a simple dress and how to take these measurements accurately. Ideally, you should be measured wearing only your undergarments.  However, a close-fitting clothing will be fine.  Do NOT measure yourself or a client that's wearing jeans, sweats, or other bulky clothing.  It DOES make a difference fam. The body is made of soft tissue, so it can be a bit difficult to know exactly how tight to pull the tape around the body. The tape should be a bit snug, but not tight - it should not "dig in" or make an indentation in the body.  It should not be loose, either!  Just wrap the tape around the area of the body being measured and hold it in place.  You should be able to put a finger behind th...
