Vicky arrived the hotel earlier than usual. She got the room key and ordered for wine..She was so angry with Pascal and couldnât wait to lash him with her tongue.
She got into the shower, freshened up and settled down to drink her wine while waiting for Pascal to arrive.
About 20mins later, there was a knock on the door and without waiting for a response, Pascal walked in.
âbaby..am sorry am lateâ
Vicky didnât reply..she sat there gulping her wine.
Pascal made to touch her and she slapped his hand away.
âDonât u dare lay that filthy hands on me you idiot! How dare u? I thought u were done with Janne so why did u go back there to apologize to her? Was that the agreement?â Vicky screamed in anger
âYou need to calm down and hear me out..â
âDonât even ask me to calm down! You acted so stupid!!..How could u make out with her? Why?â
âVictoria calm down!!â Pascal shouted in frustration
âAnd I wonât calm down!!â Vicky shouted back
âOK fine, I had better leave..â Pascal said standing up and heading to the door
Vicky jumped and stood blocking him
âWhere do u think youâre going to? Eh?â
âTo have some peace since you wonât give me any..for heavenâs sakes you are to calm down so I can explain things to youâ
Vicky hissed and sat on the bed.
Pascal sat beside her
âVicky I love you and you know it..This is all a game to hurt my brotherâ
âThen what about me? Donât u know am hurt too?â
âI didnât mean to..am sorry..but I promise you, once all these is over, You and I would elope together and settle down OK?â
Vicky smiled and kissed him
âI love u so much Pascal, plz donât break my heartââŠ
Fauziat went back to her lodge in school the next day without talking to her Father. She was so angry with him for ruining her happiness and she decided not to step foot into the house till he accepted Uche.
She packed her stuffs and walked downstairs where she saw her Father watching movie. She ignored him and starting walking out of the house.
â Fauziat am I too small now that you canât even see me and greet me?â
She stopped in her tracks
âGood morningâ She murmured and made to leave
âStop right there Young Lady!â He ordered and she froze at the spot and faced him.
âWhat has come over you? Youâre ignoring me because of that âinyamiri boyâ?? Is this how I brought u up?? Did I train u to be disrespectful??â
âBaba, you have ruined the only thing that makes me happy. How could u? How could u be so hard on someone I love? The only guy Iâve ever loved and wants to settle down with? How could u be so inconsiderate??â
âNow u have to mind the words you use on me..Listen, I did all that because I love you and I have your best interest at heart..Bring any other good Muslim guy to me and Iâll accept him but not that boy please..â
âIf you love me Baba, youâd love Uche too..I donât want any other guy except himâ She cried
âLook here ko..you are not serious..I donât want to ever see you anywhere near that boy if u donât want to see my true colours..I have my eyes on you..You can go to wherever you wish to..baa ruwanaâ Alhaji concluded fixing his eyes on the TV.
Fauzi cried and ran out of the house..got into her car and sped off..
Alhaji called Mayor and Jaja
âMayor, I want you to place your eyes on my daughter..monitor her every moves and make sure you bring me back report. If you see that boy close to her, call me immediately.. Understood?â
âYes sir!â He saidâŠ
Fauziat arrived her lodge in tears and barged into the room.
She sat down on the floor and started crying.
Hadiza ran out and met Fauziat in tears and even though they hadnât been in good terms, she was moved by her tears.
She got close to her..âFauzi, whatâs wrong? Why the tears??â
Fauziat hugged her tightly and cried profusely.
âCalm down..please..calm downâ Hadiza consoled her and helped her up to the sofa where she sat.
She went to the fridge and brought cold orange juice to calm Fauzi.
Fauzi gulped everything down..Hadiza poured in another one for her and she gulped it down again..She became a bit calm.
âNow tell me, whatâs the problem?â Hadiza asked concerned
âItâs Baba..he sternly refused my marriage with Ucheâ
âHmmmâŠbut Fauzi, I told u this earlier on..I told u that your relationship with that Igbo boy cannot work..Iâd have been surprised if Baba had accepted.. You are a Muslim, Baba is even a Sheikh..a well respected one..what will people say if his own daughter gets married to a Christian guy?â
Fauzi sniffed..
âI love him and thatâs what matters..we both are ready to do anything to prove them wrongâ
âOk.. May Allah help you bothâ
âAminâ
The next day, Janne prepared to visit her mom in the village and spend time with her son. She had taken 3 days off from her Office.
She drove to the village and went straight to her Momâs house.
She honked and her 5 years old son ran out..
âMummy oyoyo..Mummy oyoyo!!â
Janne carried him up and kissed him.
Her mom came out with her younger sister Jessica.
âGoodevening Mamaâ
âWelcome my dearâ Her mother smiled
âSister welcomeâ Jessica greeted her..
âJessy how are you?..please open the booth and bring out the things I bought thereâ
She carried her son inside with her mother following her behind and Jessica went over to the booth to bring out the things her sister bought.
After meal that night and Jessy had put Juwon to bed, Janne and Mama sat at the verandah eating corn and boiled groundnuts.
âMama thereâs something I came to discuss with uâ
âAnd whatâs that?â
âJide has been coming around for some time nowâ
âWhich Jideâ Mama inquired
âJuwonâs Fatherâ
There was silence as Mama thought hard and long.
âSo what did he say he want?â
Janneâs face dropped
She didnât know where to start explaining to her mother.
âHe wants to see Juwon..He also said he wants me back and then again, he said his Dad wants to meet with me and my sonâ
âHmmm..did he explain the reason for his disappearance for years?â
Janne explained the story Jide had told her and also the one that Pascal her.
âMama am confused, I donât know who to believe. And then again Iâve been in a relationship with Pascal without knowing that he is Jideâs younger brother..â
Mama sighed âJanne, the only way to find out the truth is to honour his Fatherâs invitation.. With that way, youâd be able to know if he truly was sent out by his Father or he eloped with his lover like his brother saidâ
Janne nodded in agreement.
âYouâre very correct Mama..very correct..and Iâll do so..but do u think itâs right if I take Juwon along?â
âWhy not? The young boy is eager to see his Father and no one has the right to deny him of that..â
âOK maâŠthanks a lot for the advice..
