[ ANGEL IN YOUR EYES BY L. S. D.]

"Those two weeks were the best week of my life. I came to school every day but skipped classes with Tofunmi, we went everywhere she wanted to go to. She wanted to watch a 3D movie, it was so funny seeing her scream her life out. She wanted to bake a cake for her parents but she didn't know to bake, learning it online was the worst idea ever because she wasted more than ten cups of flour without achieving anything" Matthew said with a smile.

Tears had run down his cheeks and he wasn't wiping them away.

"She wanted to make a memory photo album for her sister and herself, she wanted to make for her whole family, I and her too. We were supposed to go swimming the day you asked her to go for the excursion, she was happy she could also still travel so she readily accepted" Matthew said his voice turning really soft.

"The next thing I heard was, she was engaged in an accident. I rushed to the hospital and she had lost so much blood, so much blood. The doctors could do nothing, I could only watched as she slipped out of my hands. She was still mouthing to me to live well" Matthew said as he started crying like a baby.

Joel pulled him into a hug. Nishola burst into fresh tears as Damien placed an album in front of her.

Nishola opened it slowly. Pictures of baby Nishola and baby Tofunmi. Different pictures of them growing up. Pictures of Tofunmi clutching to Nishola the first day she started school. Different memories ran through Nishola's head as she turned page after page.

Tears ran down her cheeks. Pictures of both of them taking ice cream, Tofunmi's face was smeared with ice cream as she grinned at the camera. A lot of recent pictures were placed in the album as Nishola turned to the last page.

It was the same picture in the huge picture frame in Nishola's room. Written below it was;

"To the best sister in the world. Thanks for being there".

Nishola burst into tears as she leaned into Damien's embrace. Different emotions was coursing through her at that moment. Pain, hurt, anger, sadness, everything made her cry harder.

Nishola smiled as she collected the album from Matthew. This album was Tofunmi's last gift to him. It was found inside her bag after the accident.

Nishola flipped the album open. There was a picture of Matthew standing in the school uniform leaning against the window frame, another one was his head thrown back and he was laughing wholeheartedly. Another one he was just smiling at God knows who or what.

Another one had him and Tofunmi in the picture. Tofunmi wrapped her hands round his neck while Matthew backed her. Nishola smiled as she continued flipping through the album.

It was rather a huge album. Different versions of Matthew was in the albums. In one of the pictures, he was dragging a bowl of ice cream with Tofunmi and both of their faces were smeared with ice cream. Nishola couldn't help but laugh immediately.

The last page had a picture of both of them kissing. Tofunmi also wrote some words below.

" Saranghe Oppa".

Two words with deep meanings. Nishola moved to the family album as she opened it. A lot of pictures where in this album, pictures she didn't even know when they were taken. There was one with Tofunmi trying to steal Nishola's chicken, another with her mom's face caked with flour.

Also on the last page were a few words.

" To the most beautiful family, to the best parents, thanks for all the love you showered on me, I love you ".

Nishola sighed as she hugged the family album to her chest. She felt empty, she was at least glad, that her sister had so many memories, she had her own share of fun in life.

She was glad they were close and loved each other. She was happy that her sister met lovely people before she left. Almost all her wishes were fulfilled.

Damien smiled a little as he drank a glass of water.

"Snr Damien, I want to ask a favour" Tofunmi said.

"A favour? I'm listening" Damien replied.

"When am gone, can you help me take care of my sister?" Tofunmi asked.

"Nishola?" Damien asked.

"Yes" Tofunmi replied.

"Why me?" Damien asked amused.

"You are the most responsible" Tofunmi said with a slight laugh.

"So you are saying your boyfriend is not responsible?" Matthew teased.

"Jeez..... Dot, how will I ask my boyfriend to take care of my sister? I'm am human and I get jealous please" Tofunmi said as the boys coursed into laughter.

"Wait oo..... So fhw irresponsible one here is me?" Joel asked.

"Not exactly" Tofunmi said with a laugh.

"Damien laughed slightly "Okay, I will" Damien replied.

"You have to promise" Tofunmi said.

"I promise" Damien replied.

"Thank you" Tofunmi said with a smile.

Damien jolted out of his memories as he felt hands wrap around his waist.

"Thank you guys for being there" Nishola said against his back.

Damien rubbed her hands and smiled.

"Its okay babe" Damien replied as he turned around to face Nishola.

Her big eyes were glassy and glistening from crying too much.

"Didn't I tell you, you look like a pig whenever you cry?" Damien asked laughing heartily.

"Ya!" Nishola yelled laughing as she chased Damien up the stairs.

Damien laughed as Nishola pushed him to the bed.

"What kind of guy calls his girlfriend a pig?" Nishola said.

"I'm just being honest yunno" Damien said with a smirk as he wrapped his hand around Nishola's neck.

"You, can I ask something?" Nishola said.

"I'm listening" Damien said.

"If Tofunmi didn't tell you to take care of me or look out for me, would you have helped me at the party?" Nishola asked.

"Yes, I would have. You really looked hot that night, even I was tempted" Damien replied.

"You sure?" Nishola asked laughing.

"I told yoi, I was always yours...... " Damien didn't get to finish his words as Nishola's lips claimed his.

Damien groaned as he flipped her over.

THE END.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Oh my, the book has finished...... Like really.....

I just kept crying throughout when I wrote this part....

It was really painful..... I did feel for Matthew...... I wished God gave Tofunmi some extra days to spend with her loved ones.

So hey there, life is short, you don't know who has this or that, to all your loved ones, never forget to tell them how much you love them.

Spend more time with them and make more memories.

Thanks for reading this book.
