“He went to school and their school bus will bring him around 5pm, anyway let me get you something to drink, make yourself comfortable “so she left to get drink for her friend in the fridge, while blessing sat down on the couch admiring the house, as she was looking the sitting room, something caught her attention which is the enlargement picture of Angela’s wedding with her husband James, so she went closer to where the enlargement picture was because the man she was seeing in the picture look exactly like her friend’s husband at PORTHARCORT.
“This man look exactly like Juliet’s husband Daniel “blessing thought to herself still looking at the picture, as she was lost in thought looking at the enlargement picture, she didn’t know when Angela c@m£ with the drink
“Ah… blessing, this one you focused looking at the enlargement picture, that is my wedding picture with my late husband James “Angela said immediately she c@m£ to the sitting room
“yes I know is your wedding picture, plea-se I want to ask you something, is your late husband a twin? blessing asked still holding the enlargement picture
No! not at all, my late husband and his younger brother Donald are the only children their parents have, but they are not twins, why do you ask? Angela asked
“your husband look exactly like one of my friend’s husband in PORTHARCORT, they look so much alike, no different between the both of them, but have you ask your mother inlaw if your late husband was a twin? blessing asked again
“No, have not ask her before, but she only told me that my late husband and his younger brother Donald are the only children she have for her husband, anyway maybe the person you are talking about just look like my late husband, in this world people do have a look alike, take your drink “Angela said and handed her the drink
You matter how people look alike not this much, Angela you nee-d to see that my friend’s husband, he is the ph0to copy of your late husband, why not call your mother inlaw and ask her if your late husband was a twin “blessing insisted and this began to pissed Angela
“Enough of all this, plea-se drop my enlargement picture “Angela angrily said
Am sorry Angela if what I said got you angry, is just that I know what am talking about, but anyway am sorry once again “blessing apologize and drank her drink, after that they started gisting, but blessing never said anything to Angela again concerning her late husband look alike because she knows that it will make Angela angry if she say it again, so she didn’t say anything concerning that till she went back to PORTHARCORT.
.
Some days after blessing went back to PORTHARCORT, Angela began to think of what blessing said concerning her husband look alike, so she decided to call her Mother in-law to know if her late husband was a twin, but her mother inlaw told her that James was not a twin, so Angela waved the thought of her mind.
.
****IN PORTHARCORT****
.
“Something is wrong somewhere, that Angela late husband I saw in the picture look exactly like Daniel, no different between the two, you matter how someb©dy look alike, as far as they are not related by blood there must be a difference between them, but Angela late husband and Daniel look so much alike that you can not be able to differentiate them, does it mean that Daniel was a twin which his wife Juliet did not know, I remember Juliet told me that she don’t know her husband family or know where her husband Daniel come from, I think Angela’s late husband and Juliet’s husband are related by blood which they don’t know, tomorrow I will go to Juliet’s house and tell her, at least this will make her know her husband family if truly late Angela husband and Daniel are related by blood “blessing thought to herself.
