**WHEN YOU WHERE THERE**
Episode 24.
Mona left straight to the village without picking anything from her lodge.
All attempts to reach Mona failed.
Everyone was looking for her;
Kester,
His fellowship president,
Sis Pelline,
And the entire fellowship Mona attended before leaving for Kesters'.
Mona cried all the way till she arrived her home town.
She took a bike and headed straight to her grandma's house and knocked on the door.
An old woman came to open the door,
it was Mona's grandmother and the look on her face expresses surprise.
Mona mummy, what are you doing here? You didn't inform me you were coming,
Her grandmother said, hugging her from the shoulder.
Mona was cold and didn't respond to her questions or hug.
Come in my dear,
Her grandmother ordered.
What's the matter with you Jewel?
She forwarded.
You haven't said a word to me since you came in,
Your eyes are so red and swollen,
have you been crying??
She asked, putting one hand on Mona's shoulder and using the other to raise Mona's chin up.
Good evening grandma,
Mona struggled to speak and bursted out into a loud cry.
Her grandmother gave her a tight hug, trying to calm her down.
She pulled Mona aside and went into the kitchen.
She came out with a glass of mixed fruits, handed it over to Mona, and sat beside her, watching her.
Mona emptied the glass of juice and returned the glass to her grandma, who sat watching.
She collected it and said, now go to your room, have your bath, change into something simple and sleep.
Mona managed to do all that and lay to sleep, but she couldn't sleep,
her head was spinning.
She wished she was dreaming,
she held her pillow tight and sob.
Mona's grandmother noticed fast that her grand daughter was pregnant.
She also went into her room, weeping silently.
It was dinner time and grandma had ordered the maid to prepare Mona's favorite, jellof rice and fried plantain.
Mummy, dinner is ready,
Come let's eat,
Her grandma called her, standing at her door.
Mona kept mute but made sign that she heard.
Few minutes later, Mona joined her grandma in the dinning.
Its your favorite,
Grand-Ma said,
And well prepared,
I know you don't always see this type to eat in school,
Its either concoction or indomie,
My lazy princess,
Grandma tried to joke.
Hope you slept well? Grandma asked,
Knowing fully well that she didn't sleep.
Um! Mona nodded,
Staring at the food.
Mona eat please,
No matter what's wrong, no two people are buried in the same grave,
So eat your food,
Grandma pleaded.
Mona tried but couldn't,
Am fine ma.
She said and left the dinning.
