.... OK dear,
I should be home by the end of the month.
Felix told Mona.

   Really??
Mona screamed.
Are you serious??

   Yes.
Felix said, laughing.

   I've missed you so I need to come and see you.
He added.

    I can't wait!
Mona said excitedly.

   Please wait.
Felix replied laughing.

    They ended their conversation and by the end of the month, Felix was in Lagos.

   Kester had already left Lagos back to Abuja but promised to return by the end of the week.


   Felix took a flight to Edo state the next day (Mona's place)

   Mona was already expecting him.

   Mona was assisting pat in the kitchen to prepare something fast for Felix.

  She's on the phone with Felix.

    Where are you na.
It's almost 12:pm.
She quarreled.

   Am seated in heavenly places, far above principalities.
Felix joked.

   Mona laughed.

    Come and open the door for me.
Felix ordered.

   Stop joking, are you set to leave Lagos now?
Mona asked.

   Felix was already standing at the door with his both hands filled with luggage.


   Truly am at the door, come and open the door.
Felix said.

   Mona laughed and walked to the door.

  She opened the door and surprisingly, Felix was standing right in front of her.


   She screamed and jumped on him as Felix quickly dropped the luggage to catch her.

   He was laughing.

   Jesus!
How did you do it?
I can't believe it!
You are fast oo.
She exclaimed.


  I did Philip's style of transportation.
He said, hugging her again.

   You look different.
Very beautiful.
Felix complimented as Mona was all over him.

   Help me with the things, let's get in.
He said to Mona, putting his hand on her shoulder.

    Golden!
Daddy is here.
Mona screamed.

   Pat came and welcomed Felix, helping him with the loads as Felix and Mona walked into the living room.

   I missed you so much.
Felix told Mona as they walked in.

  I missed you more.
Mona replied, smiling.

   How was your trip?
She asked.

 Fine.
Where is golden?
Felix asked.

   She should be sleeping.
Mona replied as Felix sat.

   Mona sat at the hand of the coach, using her left hand to rub Felix's head.

  Felix looked up at Mona.

  Come and sit on my laps let me check your weight.
Felix said, holding her hand that's on his head.

  Mona laughed and got up, using her both hands, she dragged Felix up his feet.

   Let's check the height,
I feel am taller than you.
She said, as Felix laughed, getting up his feet.

   He hugged her tight and whispered, I miss you.

   I love you.
Mona responded smiling.

  Baby,
You added so much weight o.
Mona said, touching Felix's stomach.

   Woman of God,
It's the Lords doing o.
Felix replied laughing.

  Mona and Felix sat, sitting very close to each other.

   Felix stared at Mona, looking straight Into her eyes with smiles all over his face.

  Mona was smiling too.

What?
She asked, blushing.

   Do you know what's going through my mind right now?
Felix asked Mona without blinking, touching her ears.

Mona blinked,
And shock her head, smiling.

 How our honeymoon will look like...

 ... Like you said to me on phone, my head is really spinning and I can't help it.

   I have a lot of things in my head to do to you when I look at those eyes of yours.
Felix said, drawing her nose.

   Like?
Mona asked, eying him.

Going out for evangelism together,
Praying and studying together, etc.
Felix said as Mona bursted out into laughter.

   Why are you laughing na.
Felix asked, smiling broad at her.
 
    Food is ready ma.
Pat interrupted.

   OK, thanks,
Please prepare the dinning.
Mona replied as Pat left.


   The only food I want to eat right now is you,

  Just starring Into those eyes of yours, I feel satisfied.
Felix said, playing with the ring on Mona's finger.

   Let's go and eat.
Mona said, touching Felix's chest.


    They both got up, holding each others hand as they walked to the dinning.


   They forgot table manners as they talked all through the meal.

   The food is so sweet,
Who prepared it?
Felix asked.


   I made the stew,
Pat boiled the rice.
Mona replied.

    I feel like proposing again.
Felix said, eating the food so seriously.

  Mona laughed and sipped her juice.

   Have you heard from your brother.?
Is he aware you are back??
Mona asked.

 Felix nodded and said,
He should be in Lagos by weekend.

  OK,
Mona responded.


   Sweetie,
Later you'll follow me to get a hotel where I can lodge for the night.

   You know I can't return to Lagos today, till tomorrow.
Felix said, dripping his spoon as he was done eating.


   OK sir.
Mona answered.


   Calling Pat from the kitchen to come and clear the dishes.

   Please,
Tell her to come with the things I brought.
Felix added as they walked to the living room.

   That reminds me,
Can you now drive?
He asked.

   Yea,
Not perfectly though.
Mona replied as Pat came with the bags.

  Darling,
What are these?
Mona asked, curiously trying to open the bags.

   Stuffs,
I got them for you,
Golden and some for Pat.
Felix replied as Pat walked away.


   Mona searched through the both bags.

   In it are 2 handbags,
A small school bag for gold,
A purple high heel shoe, perfume, jewelries, and toy for golden.

   There were also 2 sneakers, 2 sandals and a back dress alongside cookies and bread.

   No wonder the bags are big and weighty.
Mona exclaimed as she offload the stuffs.


   Do you really have to get all these?
Mona asked as she kept offloading.


  Felix sat with his leg crossed, watching.

   Baby,
We need to save for the future.
Mona said, looking up at Felix who was smiling.

 
Actually,  I didn't spend a dime from the money you kept in your account, I kept the debit card.
She said, scratching her head, as Felix's smiling face changed.


   You don't mean it!
Felix exclaimed in anger and surprise.


   Honey am sorry,
I wanted to save it for us.
Mona said, holding his hand.

 ...and beside,
You practically took care of all my needs from Ukraine.
Mona added.


  But....

   Felix was going to say something more, but Golden's cry interrupted.

   The baby is awake.
Mona said, leaving him as she went to bring the baby.

   Felix got up and happily collected golden from Mona's hand and sat with her, hugging and kissing her.

   Mona was testing the stuffs.

  Sweetheart,
How did you know my size?
Mona asked as she walked with the shoe.

   You forgot I was once married.?
Felix replied.


    Mona was More than happy for all that Felix got for them.


  They talked and talked until the day was almost out.


   Felix got to the hotel that night, and returned to Lagos the next morning.

   Its weekend and Kester is set to go to Lagos.


   Felix is expecting him.

..... To be continued.

De-starching the Leaves of a Plant

De-starching the Leaves of a Plant 'De-starch (or Destarch) the leaves of a potted plant' is one of the preliminary steps in a  photosynthesis experiment . Biology students often ask the following questions about de-starching. What is  the definition of de-starching? Why it is necessary to de-starch the leaves of a plant before conducting photosynthesis experiments? What happens to the starch stores when the potted plant is deprived of light or carbon dioxide? How to de-starch the leaves of a plant? What is the definition of de-starching? De-starching is the process by which the starch reserves in a plant are depleted by depriving the plant of either light or carbon dioxide.  Why is it necessary to de-starch the leaves of a plant before conducting photosynthesis experiments? We test for the presence  of starch  in leaves in order to determine that photosynthesis has occurred. Glucose -  the p...

Ethanol Emulsion Test for Fats and Oils

Ethanol Emulsion Test for Fats and Oils The  Ethanol Emulsion Test  is a  food test  which determines the presence of a broad group of naturally occurring compounds known as  lipids . Lipids consist of  fats  and  oils . Other lipid tests include the  Grease Spot Test  and the  Sudan Stain Test . The Grease spot test is performed on fats - lipids which are solid at room temperature. Sudan stain colours lipids red, but is a less common bench reagent than ethanol. The Ethanol Emulsion Test is the most common test amongst the three. Procedure Solid sample  Crush  the food sample and place in a dry test tube. Add ethanol  to about 2 cm3 above the level of the sample and shake thoroughly. Allow the solid to  settle  (about 3 min) to allow the lipid to be extracted. Decant  the ethanol into another test tube. Add 2 cm3 of  deionized water  to the second test tube ...
