                   ( Good Moments)

The sky smiled with white lightening, hoping it would be a good day. The brightness of the day and the neighborhood calmness was extreme especially, with only smiling faces one would wonder if an angel has stepped into the Ogigi neighborhood.

I was happy and carried away, maybe because this is my first time of observing and experiencing peace in the Ogigi family. Everyone were very happy. I was still daydreaming when Ruth ignited the fire,

" From the very first day you came into my life I knew you were senseless, just get close to me and see if I won't injure you with this bottle", she yelled aggressively and positions herself for war.

"Fool, you are at it again eh", grandma Nne was very upset with Ruth. " You can't speak to Derrick in that manner, he has always supported you, just because things are no longer well with him doesn't give you the right to insult him", she warned Ruth angrily.  Ruth and Derrick were still exchanging words despite Nne's warnings when I realized that it was 14th February ( Valentine's Day).

Usually, Valentine's day is always complicated with only untrue lovers. This is because true lovers always finds happiness in each other. Happiness is when you feel good about yourself without feeling the need for anyone else's approval. It could be that Ruth has found her Val which brought about this sudden hatred for Derrick . Am still wondering if one day's love experience deserve it. Love should be a daily dose and not a yearly celebrations. Good moments should last forever.

The dispute continued with almost everyone attacking one another.

"You have all ruin my day, what a terrible family", Precious lamented.

The rest of the day was moody but Ruth was not. She still went out, maybe she 's the only one who had good moment on Valentine's day.

Today, most relationships are garbage in, garbage out. We have broken souls in our societies trying to come out of depression. The place of love has been taken by lust. Most persons don't deserve the love story they are editing right now but who's to be blame? Life is not all about taking but giving. Remember, there's always two sides of a coin, let's 'Love'  be a balanced diet. No need for pretence, if you don't love and care for someone then end it, stop the deceiving tactics sometimes, it backfires.

No one is stupid in love. At one point, people do realize that some people are not necessarily good for them. Ruth had her way on that particular Val's day but it ended her relationship with Derrick because he realized that it was not worth it.
