Episode 6
The first week in my uncle’s place was interesting i was well taken care of by my uncle and his wife. They treated me like their children, i felt the parents care again from them, they were wonderful. My uncle even took me to their company Bams foods limited .the building keep surprising me how on earth were they able to bid such a big company.
“well it may be built by a white man” i concluded within myself .From there to the beach. In short my first week in my uncle house was fantastic.
My uncle was the only sibling of my late brother. My father collected a good 8 years from my uncle. My father withdrawn from school because there was nobody there was nobody to sponsor him ,his father was no more. The mother is only trying her best to provide food talkless of sponsoring someone to school. so my father took up the role of father and sponsored uncle jimi To school together with the help of my late grandma before she passed away.
From secondary school to tertiary institution my father was the one who sponsored uncle jimi.
But something happened that almost turned two blood against each other.
My late father was not in support of my uncle marriage with his wife Florence.
It was not as if my father hate her , but she came from a tribe that was forbidden to marry from in our family.
Uncle jimi on the other hand insist on marrying Florence. This infuriate my father so much that he decided not to attend his wedding. But due to the intervention of the family the family storm was calmed but my father was not happy with the marriage. He attended the wedding even it is against his Wish but was forced by the family.
Looking at my uncle’s wife someone will see clearly why my uncle bent on marrying her. She is fair in complexion with a seductive curve to be candid she was a goddess .she came From edo state but was born lagos, this makes her to understand and be able to speak Yoruba, even though her Yoruba is not fluent. Their daughter was as well beautiful as her mother.
I woke up lively on Monday morning as early as 5:30 something about that day is special
yes i will be returning back to school so that i can write my waec that is four months time .
I dashed straight to the kitchen after a little fake prayer to wash the plates. By 6:15 i was done with the house choruses. By that time my uncle was awake likewise his wife, i saw her as she heads to the kitchen, i heard her muttering something to herself, i guess she was surprised i woke up so early this morning I quickly took my bath and resumed back to my room expecting my uncle to call me that it is time for school .i waited endlessly for my uncle to Call me but alas nothing happened, i concluded in my mind that may be he is not yet ready. I was still pondering with my thoughts when i heard my uncle calling me from the sitting room
” yes i am finally going to school ” i said to my self. Only to get to the sitting room and met the shock of my life
