I had stepped out early that saturday
morning with the sun shining brightly in the sky gradually heating up
everywhere as temperature steadily soar high, running errands for Mom
feeling like I might pass out soon from thirst and exhaustion from
trekking around the estate... earlier that morning, I had grudgingly
climbed out of bed after she called me through her phone and I knew
instantly she was feeling too lazy to either call out my name from her
room or come in into mine to call me, so I threw my blanket aside,
climbed out of bed, then went out of my room and towards hers which is
adjacent to the room I share with Karl.
Still sleeping on her bed, she
handed me her atm card and asked me to go and make withdrawals from the
atm machine at the entrance to our estate by a new generation bank
situated there, I wanted to grumble but cut myself short before I even
started when Mom said it is so I could get us bread, milk and tea for
breakfast and I knew I would get to keep the loose change from the
transaction of buying those aforementioned items...I don't know why but
since I was a child, I have had an obsession with keeping loose change
when I buy things. So on getting back, my hands laden with bags of
goodies for breakfast and my lips parched with thirst from trekking the
whole distance from home to bank then to the store and back with my
armpit and chest area of my top damp with sweat which were kicking my
nostrils as I hadn't showered before stepping out and my feet dirty
with dust, I just wanted to get inside and quench my thirst then jump
inside the shower but on getting inside our compound, I heard voices
apparently belonging to my brothers arguing back and forth and from the
tone of their voices which seemed angry, it looked like the boys were
close to exchanging fistbumps and I wondered what could have happened in
the short while I'd been away...could it be hunger?

A jack of one trade
They say if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans! Growing up
as a kid, I was brought up to not only adore God and fear him but also
see him as my best friend and confidant and as such encouraged to
constantly lay all my desires and plans before him, which, trust me, I
did all the time...I told God all of my plans, projects and dreams and
thinking about it in hindsight now, I think I must have sent him
chuckling really hard...holding his chest as he doubled over with mirth
at my strive when he had other plans for me.
Growing up, I had dreams just like every other kid to either be a lawyer or doctor, engineer and other "big" professions but as the tide of life took me on its fast paced course, it gradually narrowed my waves of ambitions to the one thing that had been constant, which I did without much effort and that I love doing but most neglected....writing.

Anti-valentine
The days leading towards valentine literally got everywhere and everyone
rife with palpitations, everyone was giddy at the thought of spending
the day with their partners, going on dates or just generally having a
nice time.
Conversations with the guys centered on what each one would be wearing and what party, lounge or hangout would be ideal to spend the day and on social media? It was over flooded with a lot of brands advertising discounts for lovers, everyone suddenly seem to be in a relationship as social media timelines got filled with love quotes and pictures of a whole lot of couples (even though a lot are broken up) and can't wait to be decked out in red and white outfits.
Am not particularly a vals person, to me, it's just the 14th day of the second month of the year but to my utter shock, the love fever in the air gradually creeped up on me and I thought it would be nice to catch up with Simi again. I had seen Hamz also preparing for valentine, as he recently had a faux bouquet of stunningly beautiful rose flowers he had save money for delivered to our house, Mom kept teasing him about who the new lady in his life could be these days and given the awkward encounter between myself, him and Simi in FONDLE FOR TWO, it started to bug my psyche that perhaps, he's trying to snag up Simi which to me would be an act of betrayal, I mean, Simi is suppose to be with me, not him, even if he has feelings for her, by virtue of me being his brother, he ought to kill his affections for Simi because of me...that's what brothers do right?

Meet the brothers!
A lot of Kuwda fans, especially those who didn't start with us from
inception, read our stories and though they enjoy it, don't fully
understand why we are the way we are even though they relate to a lot
of our stories and some already feeling like a part of us. I
occasionally get mails from fans asking why the brothers always defend
Maj (myself) from trolls, why are the brothers so close and show so much
love towards each other despite having occasional "great" fights and
misunderstanding amongst several other personal questions.
Well, in this episode of keeping up with the adagiris, we are taking a little trip back in hindsight at some episodes which focused mainly on each of the brothers to get a scope at their personalities.

Flaws, Warts and All
Mom's car horns kept honking non-stop at the gate, getting me agitated
and rather upset at what could make her horn like that as though she was
pursued by thieves, I walked briskly towards the window, pulling the
curtain apart to see where Garuba could be that he hasn't opened the
gate already.
Just at that moment, Garuba jumped out of his cubicle room and ran towards the gate to open it, I hissed loudly, dropping the curtain and going back to sit on the sofa. Mom's car zoomed to a halt in the compound and I stood up again to meet her halfway into the house,
"Welcome Mom",
I greeted, she nodded in acknowledgment and dropped her bag into my hands to carry inside, I looked at her, quite puzzled at her mood. I walked up to her and solemnly asked her what happened, she scoffed and started as Hamz,QT and Karl walked in at that moment to hear all she was about to say,
"Can you believe my ungrateful sisters, I went to see them and gave them money for their feeding et al and do you know what they said? That the money isn't enough and that I should dole out more money...can you believe that? These bitches never understand that money is tight for everyone plus do they think am packing money where I work? Do they think I have things easy for me or have no use for money or no responsibilities of my own...?"
Mom raked as we all looked at each other in utter shock, she used the word bitch, Mom is truly livid right now, she continued

Sister Sister
It's been a few days after the carnival and I'd been avoiding an awkward
run in with Simi whenever I went out, post FONDLE FOR TWO after my
brother and I had a "squeeze" with her, conversely, Hamz has been
looking forward to seeing her again, crazy guy right? It was a
weekend...a saturday
morning, I lay down on the sofa, reading an online story when QT
bounced in, playfully slapped my feet and sat on the rug close to me, I
paused from my reading and gave him a smile as it hit me that I haven't
had a nice one on one chat with my elder brother in a long while, our
conversations have mostly included the rest of the brothers, this is
slightly intentional as QT is a man of few words and more often than
not, he upsets one and never takes anything serious hence one is tended
not to engage him in meaningful conversations so I thought to break the
ice and tell him what was on my mind without holding my breath he won't
disappoint.

The one who shall not be named
"MAKE WAY! MAKE WAY! DIVA COMING THROUGH!"
Hamz called out as I descended the stairs into the sitting room where Karl and QT were busy playing a video game, I smiled, playfully pushing him away by his head then theatrically sashayed into the kitchen, Hamz continued,
"Kim...kim....kimmy!"
He yelled after me, taking repeated flashed shots of me with his phone acting like a papparazzo
" Who the hell is kim?"
