***FLASHBACK***

"Jesus Christ mom!! There you go again! You've got to be kidding me . Not again, dont start with this marriage topic again. Please mom"

 David stood up from the chair where he was sitting in his room, He was almost screaming at his mom for raising such topic to him. His mom is good at it. He actually thought she was coming to give him a better info about something else. He walked to the living room.

"I told you mom i'm not ready and when i am i'll settle with Tayo. There is no way I'm getting married to that girl because you said so. Besides I just met her in the mall the other day me and Joe went to see a movie. I know nothing about her. We haven't even had a normal conversation. She came to uncles anniversary that's where I saw her for the second time."

"Does it mean you won't get to know her more when you two get to finally settle down?! She looks decent, beautiful and loyal. At Mr and Mrs Oringwo ' s wedding anniversary, both of you couldn't stop staring at eachother."

She continued..

"But the both of you talked really well. I had to ask around who that lovely guest was and they told me. I just liked her instantly. We even talked sef!." She said and smiled

"Talked about what?"

" I actually I saw her alone standing by the buffet then I approached her. I talked to her as a mother. I saw her chaplet rapped around her hand then i asked which of the catholic churches she worships. She is such a lovely girl dave".

Dave stopped and stared at her for seconds, thinking of his next reply..

"Mom enough with the flattery. Yes she is pretty but doesn't still change how I feel about Tayo."

"Hmm.... hmm... my son e be like say you no want me and your father to live long."

"Don't say that mom. I'm only doing what's best for me and you'll surely benefit from it."

"Over my dead body..hmm.."

He laughed,

"But How did you see us mom?" he asked smiling..
 
She smiled too and properly sat down on the couch to explain..

 "My son i have two clear eyes. They are still as bright as the sun. So i can see what is happening even though i pretend not to."Look son...She is from the same home town as us. She is very nice and hard working. She worships in the same church as us too though in a different branch. Thats what I want for a daughter in law.

This amazed him, he had to relax back on the couch sitting next to his mom..

"Ok mom how'd you know about her church now?" He asked surprisingly, he was becoming fed up.

" I did my own background check don't worry. I know what is good for my family. We don't have to start going faraway for her marriage. Everything will be right here. So your grandma and grandpa can come witness it too." she grinned

He took a deep breath..

" I know sarcasm when I hear one. Mom you're being unreasonable here. Put yourself in my shoes, Tayo and I have been together since uni days, she has waited for me this long just that I wasn't ready but now I think I am, despite what you and daddy claimed she did."

"Mom nothing you can do to change my mind" he said..


"You dare not bring that LovePeddler to this family as a daughter in law for me. I and your father won't accept that.  Do you know how many times we have seen her around hotel buildings with different men. You won't know because you've not seen reasons to or haven't caught her. You are too busy and blind to know. She is very good at covering up her deeds. There is no way she'll bear our family name or carry my grand children.  Mbanu!" His mother said

Mrs Anderson is a very strong woman that knows how to protect her family name. She tries to make sure her name is out for good.

"Mom I'm sick and tired of this same topic over and over again.  It seems you don't want me around here anymore. Maybe I'll just leave you and your husband and get my own apartment faraway from home.  I can't constantly keep up with this topic each time you come to my side. It's becoming unbearable that anytime we meet that is the next subject that'll pop up. Gosh!!." He said tirelessly. .

"Dave my son, even if you go faraway I'll come around and you know we'll be the ones to approve on your marriage. But don't even think about leaving here."

"And if I do?"

"Don't try it o! I'm your mother and I'm too old for that"

"Then Stop bugging me with that"

" I will, only if you'll do what we all want.  Trust me your mother for once, you won't regret this."

He Stopped listening to what she was blabbing and turned on his tv to watch a live match.  He left it on Supersport 10, Chelsea and Barcelona  were playing,  just then his club Barcelona scored that made him to jump up and scream 'GOAL!!!' It made his mom fidget and she understood her son wasn't interested again.  He always looked for a way to dismiss her and that was the best plight. She stood up

"Okay it's obvious you're chasing me out, I'm going. Make sure you come over for dinner"

"I'll try"

"You should... today there'll be a very nice delicacy. We have a new chef now and he makes the best supper"

"Ok mom, will still try" "I'll just ask the maid to bring mine over." he whispered to himself
She looked at her son, shooked her head and left.

Dave took a deep breathe and exhaled relieved he was done with that stage with his mom. He looked for every means not to bump into her or meeting up with her and dinner isn't a good idea.

well done ma'am
gud morning

TrishaP:


David usually had temperamental issue that he finds it sometimes to tame. But he sure knows how to avoid troubles and stuff t[b]hat'll make me flare up.[/b]

You? Did any part of it happen to you?

TrishaP:


A story about couples who just got married into An arranged marriage. Dave's family knew he wasn't getting any younger, his family made Him leave his gf of 7 years, because they suspected her of cheating on their son.

Can you reconcile the above quote with the one below

TrishaP:

David and Jenny met in a shopping mall one Saturday afternoon, where she went to shop for toiletries for her family and to see a movie with her friend Kiki. Likewise David and his nephew.

No not at all. Typo errors..will correct it ASAP. Thanks



I don't get the second one.

I don't get the second one.

You talked about arrangee marriage in your opening post and later said they met in a shopping mall or something...doesn't follow unless I'm missing something...

Yes you are. Continue reading you'll see where I wrote about Dave's mom persuading him to leave his recent gf (tayo) for Jenny because his mom thinks Tayo is a who.re.

Yes, they once met at the shopping mall then later at the anniversary, where Dave's mom finally saw Dave and Jenny speaking to each other, so she decided to step in because she felt Jenny would be the perfect match for him.

I did not miss that persuasion bit. Well if that is the case, I won't call it an arrangee. A marriage can only be called an arrange where the bride and the groom who never met themselves were brought to meet each other for the purpose of marriage. The man likes the girl and the girl thinks he is OK. Boom, they are married.

too many unfinished stores on my followed topics.. I'm unfollowing right away. u can mention me when u continue.. thanks..

I'm sorry for the disappointment.

Will come later for these.

David: "It's okay, tayo because we are so done here. This is the 3rd time you are caught. I've tried to cover up your deeds because I loved you but you have betrayed my trust and love.
 My parents were right. They have been right along. Why did I fail to believe them in the first place?! Oh! yes! because I loved you and was hiding under your shadow."

He said to himself

Tayo: "Your parents?! What! How!..I don't get..."

David: "You don't have to... You know when someone cheats continously they get so used to it not minding people are watching.
Yes my parents saw you at cisco hotel in GRA on the 6th of April, on my uncles birthday. 
Yes tayo yes they did.
Don't try to lie now.  I didn't want to believe them at first because I thought you had changed.
So tell me who the f**k were you with and what exactly were you doing there with that married man?"

Tayo: I..i..i.. i...just...went..to..see...I'm so sorry pls I'm really sorry. It was the devil"

David: "Your studdering because you havnt cooked your lies properly. Of course you'll blame it on the poor devil when you can't give yourself a little self control.
Tayo you were my everything, I didnt trade you for anything in this world. I loved you so dearly that's why I kept my promises.
I didn't believe all what my friends and family had to say about you. I played a fool all these while but you failed to realise that.

Tayo is now crying loudly with all these touching words coming out of his mouth..

David "Just stop those tears tayo. You are so fake. Ive had it up to here.

He raised his hands to his neck like his is slitting his throat trying to tell her he is fed up..

You had your chance but you blew it out of sight and mind. Go ahead with your life style because I'm so fu*king done here. Get your remaining bags and leave my apartment. I don't want to ever see or hear from you again."

Tayo: "No no it hasn't come to this..pls honey pls."

She walks faster trying to stop him from saying more..

David: "Don't even dare touch me. One more step tayo one more step and I'll throw you out myself. You're just a piece of work I knew it'll come to this that's why I stalled all these while. I'm going out and when I come back I don't want to see you and your shadow..you get that You can keep everything I got you cus I don't need them.

He picks up his car keys

Tayo "No no"

This time she was so loud crying

"Pls don't go don't leave me. I promise this is the last time. Pls don't go, I still love you."

David: "Don't even say that again you hear me, don't ever repeat that. You've had your own share of cake so keep eating it."

Tayo: "Pls I'm begging you...."

"Get out of my way miss or I'll. .."

Her phone began ringing...  she didn't want to pick it from the table where she left it because they were trying to settle up..
It stopped ringing and began again, making Dave to go check the phone

he purposely walked straight to the phone to check the caller..

"Christian, who da f**k is this one again?  Oh!lemme guess, one of them right?!.. he asked

She was silent nothing could come out from her moth

David : "of course you can't say anything because I'm right. I don't know why I'm still standing here and talking to you. You are a shame and I can't deal with you. Just leave..."

he took the phone with the anger  and smashed it on the tiled floor then stomped out leaving her to finish up and go...

He turned on his car ignition and drove out of his compound.

Your welcome

"Guy wetin keep you na, i don dey wait for you..."

That's Philip talking, David's  childhood friend..

David "Abeg no vex jare na traffic"

Philip "Kai this guy I know when you dey lie
Tell me something jare.. na that your babe or na too much work for office, i  can predict you"

"It's nothing... just traffic for kaduna street at dline"

David lied to cover up his breakup with tayo because he didn't want to start that kind of conversation with him else They'll start with stuffs like "I told you from the very start that that babe is this that babe is that blablabla" those are the last things he wanted to hear.

They are at a popular bar in dline named "d twentytwos 22",
They are well known there for their drinking... but David isn't a drinker it's just Philip and some few friends who occasionally joins them.


The waitress is here...

"What would you like to have sir?"

She smiled at the handsome men who were engrossed in their conversation..

"Uhm..8 bottles of heineken, two bottles of red label and some ice pls..."

"And you sir? "

"Just 2 small stout for now pls"

"Okay sir"

She smiled at david and left to get them their order

David who didn't notice that and didn't care just picked up his phone and made to delete tayo's photos and videos ASAP. .

Philip: "You go talk say you no see how that babe give you that smile huh.."

David "Huh"

Philip " Na so you go dey pretend for all these girls, them go dey kill themselves for you while you go dey act as u no send them"

David " hahaha, Phil u no well abeg, u don come again o! I no get strength for this kind talk now. I just wan drink get myself.

"Abegi
But what's going on?
I've never seen you want to take so much bottles like these before.. this one you wan high, hope everything is fine??"
 Phil asked concerned

David isn't a drinker but he chose to get drunk that day because of his emotional trauma..

David: "Everything is okay.. what is it?!!..can't a man have some little fun other than the old times?"

He said while spreading his arms open to express himself...

Phil:  "Guy I'm a little worried about you now.. make you no go drive enter person building with highness this night o!"

David : " nothing go happen"

He said while pressing his phone..

Phil:" Your face dey dull, and you never Crack any joke since you land, unlike you I for don dey Crack my ribs by now.."

David "Some days are like that phil"

The waitress is here...

"Can you also order that pizza across the street for me? Thanks .."

"Sure, why not sir, anything for you sir"
 
He gave the money to her and she left quickly to get it


"Mhmm anything for you sir..."
Phil said in a mockery tone

David: whatever phil, I know say you go talk"

"mhmm... phil said like he just remembered something..
you remember that babe I told you about the other time at the office?.."

"Which one?"

"The one that her dad is the manager of that breweries at rumuomasi.."

"Ekene?..."

"Ha you remember her name sef.. I think say you go forget"

"I don't forget that easily na.. so what about her?"

"She is coming over tomorrow to spend the weekend with me.."

" oh wow Good for you.. so fast?!.. you're a sharp shooter right from time. I know you na.."

"Hahahaha guy u no well. But u know say I no dey dull. If I see what I like I go for it immediately, no wasting of time.

"I trust you sha

"So I'll invite you over on Saturday so.."

He didn't let him finish he cut him short..

"No no need I'll be at the office to finish up those works piled up before Monday"

David needed some distractions from what has happened.. he needed to clear his head and he thought being in the office was a good idea.

****to be continued****

Part 2

"Oh I forgot you're a workaholic, as the boss you have a lot to do" Phil said

"Whatever you want to call it" David said and rolled his eyes at him...

"Yep yep
So how's mom and dad?" Phil made that sound and asked

"They are good"

"Where are they now?

"On vacation in Boston "

"Oh okay, the love birds I see"

" hahaha, na so na They are old and they can't still get enough of eachother, I wish I had someone who can cherish me the way they cherish themselves. David said so softly..

That made Phil cleared his throat...

david looked up at him..

David:   "What?"

Phil:  "Oya spill the beans... how your babe?"

"Wetin do her..I dunno.. she.. should ...be ...fine

He studdered..

 "Something is wrong and I know it.." Phil said

"Nothing" David replied

"What do you mean nothing" asked phil

"I said nothing" David replied

"You guys broke up?"

Phil is trying to get words out of him

"What is your own sef?! Abeg dey drink your drink jor" David said trying to deviate

Phil:  " dave I'm your man, you can tell me anything you know, likewise me, I tell you every every.. so if it's a secret you know it's safe with me. What I'm I saying sef.. I've always kept your secret"  Phil said jokingly...

"Phil u don't understand" David still trying to deviate

"Of course I do, did she cheat on you again?" Phil asked like he knew..

 David didn't expect that question.. he took a deep breathe and looked away.. it took him like 10 secs to answer. He knows he can't lie to philip.

"Yes" he said it like it was a relieve.

"God that babe, I knew it, I talk am say e go happen again" Phil hitting his fist on the table like he was about to blow something. ..

David rolled his eyes like he was expecting to hear those words

"Yh but we are done now I couldnt take it anymore from her. She has lied and lied and lied. MtcheWw infact e to much."

"But are you just realising she is lier and a cheat too? Ha that babe really closed your eyes to see the bright side. I hope you've woken up and smelt the coffee?"

"I'm better now phil. I'm sorry I stubbornly refused to believe you guys. I just wanted to see if we could pass that stage but I guess I got stuck." David said

"So where is she now?" Phil asked

"Left her at home"

"What is she doing there?" Phil asked shockingly and wondering what she was still doing there...

"Getting her things out, look man I don't want to talk about it. Thats why I'm here to have fun so I can forget all that." He said while taking a sip from his drink..

"Guy I no go lie, you don really try for that. Me o font know how patient and tolerant I can be for such person. I have zero tolerance for promiscuous women.." Phil said irritably. .

"Yeah I know, I understand but everyone isn't the same. I was too blind to see that. Thats by the way sha " He said waving the thoughts with his hand and taking another gulp from his drink

"Yes, that's by the way. I'm pray you get over it sooner." Phil said

"You want to club?...because I want to"  David asked

Philip raised his eyebrow like he couldn't believe David asked such.

"Sure so that you can get yourself.."  Phil said

David grinned because he knows that is totally awkward coming  from him...

"What time is it? " David asked

"9:30pm, David are you sure you want to do this? You know you have to be at the office tomorrow." Phil told him trying to remind him clubbing on Thursdays is such a bad idea...

"Screw that work tomorrow, for once I want to have fun, it's been a very long time..." David said

"Well I wouldn't stay long with you, you can stay and catch as much fun as you like, make sure you book a hotel if you know you'll be staying here all night." Phil gave him a little advise to avoid story that'll touch.... safety first bro"

" No need again jare. I just realise  I have something important to do on my laptop. I hope that girl has left that house because her sight disgust me."David said..

" I hope so too" Phil said


****to be continued****

Your comments are needed. That'll keep be going..

I'm following.. nice one.

Intercom ringing...

"Hello Winnie,  speak up"

"Sir the conference room is set for the meeting" Winnie.

"Ok thanks" david

Winnie is David's receptionist and his PA too, she is a very competent workaholic as her boss. She is always at her boss service.
She used to work in the marketing department in his office before she was moved to her new office working as the CEO's PA.
David saw the hard works of her and how she presents herself since then he has been very impressed with her. He told the HR to send her straight up. These are the kind of persons he enjoyed working with.

David is at the office now after so much drinking last night and getting off alot from his chest and mind.
He really needed that sit out with his buddy which he hardly does because of work. He is never free to find out a good time. This time he did and he didn't regret it a bit.

Tayo(davids ex now) was gone and he had a wonderful night rest alone with some cool music blasting from the speakers by micheal bolton  drift away while he laid to rest. He was humming to the song...
"Give me the big voice to free my soul,
  I wanna get lost in your rock 'n roll
  And drift away"
He enjoys that song times that this...

It was a wonderful night for him. He laid down smiling and humming to himself and all the things that had bothered him. He was glad he can move on and not go back to his ex.. He was still going to be mute about the breakup to anyone because it was still fresh in his head.

He was about to cut the call with Winnie when she said

"Sir?" Winnie

"Yes Winnie! " David

"Tayo has been calling,...said she's been calling but no answer. She left a message earlier this morning before you came and she still called again asking to see you, that it's very important. She said she sent you a mail apologizing about something I know not about. .. I hope everything is alright sir?" Winnie asked

She asked like she knew something..

"Yes Nothing to worry about Winnie,.. absolutely nothing. And do me a favour, When she calls back tell her to stop calling else you'll loose your job"  David said

That made Winnie shocked hearing she might loose her job. She's gonna learn to shut her mouth and not pry deep into her CEO's private affair. She wasn't expecting that from him...

"This should be the last time you'll tell me anything related to that other than work, have I made myself clear" David warned her with so much anger from his voice...

"Yes sir" Winnie answered and got the message..

"Good, now get to work" david

He banged on the intercom angrily. Glad he didn't break it in the process.

He rounded up and got himself what  would be needed in the conference room.

 Winnie knocked on the door twice and walked into his office, she looked like she has been scared out of her own skin because she has never heard her boss threaten her job before, this was the first and he was damn serious. She dare not bring up stuffs like that again. 

She picked up his tab all that David has gathered for the brief meeting at the conference room with some contractors..

He was about to hibernate his desktop when he saw the messages from tayo she sent earlier, he didn't bother reading them, he went straight and clicked on the delete option and hibernated his system, walked straight for his meeting, shifting that thought off his ex aside,  he's got to keep himself working and being worried about any woman matter is gonna be the last thing for him. He has had enough already right from school days.

He got to the conference room and didn't believe his eyes...
