The bank

Source

My sister would come to me to ask for money. She would say "please, Abi!!! I need money to cater for something. Can you please lend me some amount? I would tell her "you should know me too well that I don't joke with money and not even the one close to me". After much pressure, I would lend her the money. I will place a time limit on which the money would last. Please, don't let the money be up to the time you would want to return it. I always allow those coming for money to place a time that would suit them to return the money. This is where I have to act whenever the money is not forthcoming.- @abigail04

Last hope

That night, Marvin decided to study for the maths test the next day, but he wasn't quite sure what to study. The paper Grey gave him which had the entire maths question in it or his class note. After much debate in his mind, he decided to study his books.
The next day, the test began as the question was shared. Marvin closed his eyes and said a small prayer before he engaged the question. - @bornben

Sumarni's current changes

Source

After two hours of choosing clothes, Sumarni finally bought a dress for the wedding, two t-shirts, and three pairs of trousers for her. When paying at the cashier, Tio was finally relieved because he was no longer waiting for his wife to shop for clothes.
While in the car, Tio said to his wife "Darling, you have too many clothes in the wardrobe, why to buy more clothes?" asked Tio while driving the car.
Then Sumarni replied, "You know that I shop for the peace of my soul."
"Okay, I'm not commenting anymore" Tio replied.- @radenkusumo666

The Ring Of Disguise

But fate helped her when she met him at a convenient store, they both stared at each other for sometime and as she was about to walk towards him, he walked to her with a smile on his face.
Why do people say you've become beautiful? You still look the same in my eyes
Roan asked
Surprised Flora was speechless, she couldn't understand why he said that. She removed the ring from her fingers and looked at him to see his reaction, but he just kept staring at her waiting for her response to his question. - @merit.ahama

Beholder

Myself was vague and short for I was newly conceived, not yet born, not yet whole. I waited, what else will they bestow upon me, what else will I be.
They wish to shape me, not to perfection as they knew that was beyond they’re power, but to the best as they were, as flawed as they are. They molded me as they desired to present me, they wished to share the knowledge of my existence with others where I in turn would meet my own fellow kin, not of the same maker, but of the same made. - @vincric

Nothing is as it Appears

Shoulder by shoulder, the running water of the two sinks drown their conversation out for curious ears. "Yes, I'm real. I thought you knew, I'm sorry..." Julian hangs onto Wyatt's soft voice for dear life. "I have no idea where I'm going, but I'm certain it is better than here." Wyatt continues, "The way out is in the paper." he shakes the excess water from his fingertips and turns to dry his hands.- @grindan
