“Who the hell is she to you?”Jide screamed at Pascal

“Boda mi..am respecting u o.. Don’t shout at me anyhow”Pascal said sitting on the sofa

“Pascal, are u stupid? U dare talk to me in that manner??”

“See, Janne is my Fiancee.. Engaged to get married so what’s your own?”

Jide hit his leg on the ground impatiently and paced about in confusion

“Your what??”Jide asked

“Pascal are u out of your senses? Wait.. Now I get it, I sent you Janne’s picture from the states years ago.. U knew how Father literally bundled me out of this country without prior notice. I confided in you, I sent u her picture and address and begged you to explain things to her.. You told me you’ve searched for her but she was nowhere to be found. Little did I know that u betrayed me.. You went behind me and stole my girlfriend!! Now u are engaged to her?? Oh shit!!”Jide grabbed Pascal by the collar of his cloth and raised his up choking him

Pascal was coughing “Lea..ve.. Meee”Pascal was struggling with his breath.

Just then, Yetunde their younger sister came in, seeing the scene, she quickly held Jide begging him to release Pascal who was choking already.

“Boda mi pleaseeee.. Ejor.. Tori Olorun, release him” She begged

Jide released him and pushed him to the chair. Pascal’s eyes was red as he was coughing trying to regain his breath.

“Bastardddd.. Am not done with u yet!”Jide said, took his car keys and went upstairs.

Yetunde bent down beside Pascal “boda what happened? I’ve never seen boda Jide in this mood, what exactly did u do to him??”

“Will u shut up and get out?!”Pascal bellowed at her..

She retraced her steps and picked up her purse hissing aloud

“I blame myself for coming to your rescue in the first place”She murmured and went upstairs to her room.

Pascal ground his teeth in anger as he straightened his rumpled shirt.

“This is just the beginning Jide.. There’s more to come..”He said and picked up his ringing phone

“Yes, I’ll be there in a giffy.. Wait for me” He said and left the house.

Vicky and Janne were having lunch at an eatery close to Janne’s Office.. Vicky was eating noodles and plantain while Janne settled for snacks since she couldn’t eat due to all these happenings.

“So you said Jide and Pascal are brothers?”Vicky asked wide eyed

“Yes! Pascal barged in on Jide and I earlier today”

“but how come? Indeed this is a small world”

“My dear, I am confused, I don’t know what to do.. To think that am in love with my baby daddy’s brother.. I don’t know what to do.. Am blank!”

“Just calm down.. These would be sorted out.. Have any of them called u?”

“No..and that’s why am so bothered.. Even Pascal haven’t called me.. Am now, Jide is asking after his son”

“Hmm.. Don’t worry.. There’s always a way out.. I’d be meeting with Pascal later today and I’d talk to him and know his stand in all these..”

“Thank u very much.. Thanks for your help”

Vicky smiled and they continued with their Lunch..

Meanwhile, Fauzi and Hadiza had developed cold feet towards themselves after the last kitchen episode. Fauzi was mad at Hadiza for keeping her relationship with her brother a secret..

Hadiza on the other hand was angry at Fauzi for preying into her privacy.

The two girls were at loggerheads And spoke to each other only when necessary.

That evening, Fauzi went over to Uche’s place so they could hangout as earlier planned.

she waited for him outside the gate ND soon, he arrived and hopped in looking more cheerful than ever.

“What’s with the smiles?”Fauzi asked

“Babe guess what?” Uche said happily

“Oh. Tell me na”Fauzi said making baby face

“OK OK.. I got the job!!”Uche screamed

Fauzi smiled in delight seeing how happy Uche was..

“am so happy for u dear”

“that’s not all o..this appointment comes with an official car, a house and a huge monthly bonus…am so happy..”Uche exclaimed

“Alhamdullilah” Fauzi smiled

“Now. let’s go and celebrate your new job”Fauzi said and drove to a hotel where they stayed in a shade close to the pool and while Fauzi was taking juice, Uche was taking alcohol.

“Am so overwhelmed with Joy.. After so many years of struggling.. Alas! I have a well paying Job.. ”

Fauzi smiled “Am happy you’re happy”

“Fauzi, I’ve been meaning to tell u something..”Uche said with a straight face.. Fauzi adjusted urging him to go on.

“Am not very good with words and I’ll tell u how I feel without mincing words.. From that day I saw u at the hospital, I loved u.. There was this spark u lit in my heart on that day.. Fauzi I love u and am very sure about it.. I love the way u sincerely care about me and make my happiness your priority.. Even though u met me a poor guy, u still cared for me.. Took me out, not ashamed to pay the bills for both of us and assured me that everything would be fine. The bottom line is this.. I love you so much.. Would u be my girlfriend and companion? Let’s start from there and we’ll gradually progress into the next step..”He held her hands and she blushed looking down on the table.

Uche lifted her head up and planted a kiss on her lips.

“Will u be my Queen Fauziat??”

“Yes..yes”She replied and he kissed her one more time.

“I love u so much and am not letting go”

“I love u more” She replied..

---

From that moment, the love between Fauzi and Uche grew like never before.

They respected each others religion.

Uche never complained of how she covered herself up all the time and Fauzi never complained of him not meeting up with their appointment because he went for Sunday service. They made a promise to themselves to be sexually pure till their wedding night and they adherred to this promise.. They shared few kisses and enjoyed each other’s company.

Fauzi told her brother Azeez alot about Uche too and they planned on meeting.. Uche was however oblivious of the fact that Fauzi’s brother is his boss and Fauzi had a hand in his employment.

Tragedy struck when Uche decided to introduce Fauzi to his mother…
