__________________________________________ Serena walked into the compound angrily, almost pushing the gateman to the ground. "Serena, why na? You wan kill me ni?" He asked as he steadied himself by holding unto the gate firmly. "Sorry." She replied without glancing back. She made for the door, turned the handle and the door sqeaked opened loudly as she shut it angrily. Her anger grew further when she saw Nate lying on the three seater couch, a laptop placed on his stomach and a game pad in his hands. She tried to keep her cool by acting like she didn't care, even though she prayed that the laptop didn't turn out to be her own. "Welcome sis." He said. She mattered almost to herself as she made for the hallway. "That your friend, Taiwo, the girl make sense o." He said forcing her to stop in her tracks. "You said what?" She asked. "Never mind." He said. "Better." She said and stormed off into the hallway. "Hungry wan kill man o." He said loudly. "You are no better than a dead man." She shouted back and the next sound that came was the banging of her door which made him swallow his words. Now in her room, she made for her reading table which was as empty as empty itself. Without another word, she walked out of the room into the living room. "Nate, what are you doing with my laptop?" She asked placing her hands akimbo. "I actually wanted to play game and the game I wanted is live here on your laptop, you can pick a pad and lets enjoy." He said not noticing the anger and irritation on her face. "Give me my laptop." She said grabbing the device, she slammed it shut and made for the hallway. To her suprise, he followed her angrily, and just before she got to her door, he caught up with her and pushed her to the wall. "What the hell is your problem? Why are you so filled with hate? What's the fuss about?" He started by yelling. Even as a little girl, she feared Nate, not because he could beat her to death, but because his anger was synonymous to a tsunami. They were very close as kids, a relationship they still maintained till five weeks ago. Despite their closeness, they still fought a lot and he punished her a lot, but all these only made their bond tighter, while the book-wormish Dave was always moody and all to himself, such that a visitor would wonder if he was deaf and dumb. It was worse to the extent that, Dave returned from his youth service and knowing that he had brother and sister who are yet to enter the university, common biscuit he couldn't buy for them. He only entered the house, made for his father's study, spent an hour, entered his room and the next time they saw him was during breakfast, the next day. "Tell me, what the hell is your problem? Can't I use your laptop?" He asked. "You have no right whatsoever to use my laptop. Dad bought it for me, and the last time I checked, you have yours too." "Is that the issue? Are we not siblings? Can't we share things?" He asked. "Oh! Now you know we are siblings abi? When you wanted to use my laptop, you remembered you have a sister somewhere. When I was begging you to tell me about whatever secret you are keeping with Dave and the connection with your detention at the police station, did you oblige?" "Now, I get it. You are playing the hate game because we refused to carry you along?" He asked with a laugh. "You are the one playing the hate game. You started treating me like and outcast." Her voice was starting to betray her. "No one treated you like an outcast. You obviously wanted everything to come your way, you wanted things to go the way you like, the world should be about you and you alone, without thinking of others. The same thing mum did that cost her her place in this house, you are following the same path..." Nate started spitting fire. Serena tried to get, away, but he was holding her tightly. "If you keep up with this attitude, you will push yourself to the wall, and don't do something that will make you think you can't forgive people around you. Your mum wanted things her way, she wanted the house to be about her, everyone submissive and now, she couldn't get her wish, she settled for a man below her standard whom she could boss." He had said it, before he realised the gravity of it. Quickly registering his words. "You said." "I will use this laptop and nothing will happen." With this, he snatched the laptop and made for his room. --to be continued-- 2 Likes 1 Share |

__________________________________________ The family meeting which started with everyone in a tensed mood ended in disarray as an angry Barrister Olu stormed out of the house and as expected, Pa Jame followed him in a bid to convince him to return to the meeting. Its now over twenty minutes that they both left and the chances of their coming back looked slim. "Anita, you can go. I will get back to you before the end of today. Be rest assured that nothing will stop me from making sure that you return to Wole's house to take the place that rightfully belonged to you." Uncle Patrick said to her as she slowly picked up her hadbag. "Aunty Jane, Uncle Collins. My regards to the family." She said respectively to her brother and sister in law before walking out of the house. "Uncle, this issue seemed a hard nut to crack, Bro Wole won't take Anita back on a good day, but with her scandalous life and affair with Olu, I am afraid, Wole will disrupt everything o." Collins started once Anita was out. "I agree with you collins. Its better we invite Uncle Ajani from Ondo and Mama Londoner. Lets see what they can do to help us. Wole will definitely listen to Uncle Ajani, Mama Londoner won't speak twice before Wole agrees." Jane explained. "But, we all know that mama Londoner won't support Anita. Aside that they have never been on the same friendship page, Mama will not plead for any promiscous woman." Patrick replied. "And if that is the case. Wole won't listen to us, he will listen to Mama Londoner, but Mama won't plead on behalf of Anita. Then so be it. Let things continue to be as it is." Collins said. "I agree." Jane enthused. "No way. Anita must return to Wole's house. It is a must." Patrick said with raised voice. Silence enveloped the room for a second. "But Uncle, why do you care anyways? You are taking this issue too personal." Collins asked. "Why won't I take things personal. I can't open my eyes and let my brother divorce his wife such has never occured in our family, as large as it is. You'll rather marry another wife to cover for a misbehaving wife. That was how our fathers lived." Patrick explained. "Our fathers legacy must hold." "Uncle, legacy or no legacy, I see this as an act of desperation. I mean, why are you clamouring for Wole and Anita's re-union?" Collins asked. "So, what are you insinuating?" Patrick asked. "I mean no offense, but if an outside were to be here now, it looked as if you have something going with Anita or you want to cover your track. Probably because you are paying a ransome to ensure that Anita returned to Wole's house." "Are you out of your mind?... Oh! You are accussing me of doing what?" Patrick stood up spitting vernom. "Collins, what has come over you? Are you saying..." "Uncle please calm down." Jane pleaded. "Don't tell me to calm down. Didn't you hear what he said? Is it the right thing to say?" Patrick was approaching Collins who stood his ground but had his head bent. "Are you mad? See him waiting for me to attack? He is not even sober." Patrick had lunched a slap but Collins ducked it, after which he prostrated flat showing remorse. "Am sorry Uncle. I didn't mean it that way...." He was saying. "Now, out of my house." Collins need not to be told what to do as he stood up and walked out of the house. Jane who didn't come in her car, as she always attended every family gathering as Collins right hand man quickly picked up her bag. "Uncle, goodbye o. I will call you later, and please forgive Collins, he is just being childish?" She shouted as she ran out of the house to go meet her younger brother who will drive her home. --to be continued-- Short update? Yes, I know. It wasn't intentional, but I must drop something this morning. Join me later in the afternoon for another update to celebrate the ressurection of Jesus christ. HAPPY EASTER SUNDAY GUYS! 1 Like 1 Share |

__________________________________________ Serena was extremely happy because after almost a week, her father was going to arrive and therefore, she decided to put her worries behind her and face the prospect of having her father back in the house. She decided to forgive Dave for the time being and pretend like all was well, afterall, she wasn't willing to let their father know about the bad blood between them. Even Nate who was supposed to return to school the previous day decided to wait for their father and all was well between himself and Serena even though he knew it was being staged managed, but whichever ways he still allowed himself to enjoy it while it last, at least until he returned to school. The trio of Serena, Dave and Nate were at the only airport in Oyo state, the Alakia airport awaiting their father whom they knew had landed successfully, but waiting to be cleared. Serena for once regretted coming with her brothers because she had problem getting down from buses and cabs and immediately dashing for the road to cross. All her life, she had been driven to wherever she was going and the only time she started going out on her own was after leaving secondary school and despite that, she wasn't the outgoing type and all her going outs are always to the less busy residential areas in Ibadan where she will board just one cab while going and another one when going back home. And crossing such roads was not much of a problem, but in the case of the Alakia old Ife road where their cab stopped, she had to cross the express so as to board another cab to the airport. Nate was her shinning armour throughout as he made sure he always held her hand. "See daddy over there." She had screamed to her brothers, even though she was a few steps away from her brothers who gingerly walked up to their father. "Welcome daddy." The greeted in unison as Nate quickly collected the bag he was holding as expected. "How are you boys?" He asked shaking hands with them while Serena was blabbing and asking stupid questions. "Serena, won't you collect the beg from your brother?" Their father asked as they approached the parking lot where their father's cas has been parked since the day he travelled. "Dad, let him carry it. He is serving his punishment." She replied. "Who did he offend?" Their father asked. "Me of course." She replied. "And who are you o?" This time, Dave had collected the key and had unlocked the doors, he hopped into the drivers seat, Nate into the passenger seat upfront, Serena and their father sat at the back. "I am their mother. I feed them afterall." They all bursted into laughter. Dave carefully drove out of the airport as he slotted an old Bob Marley disk into the disk player. "Serena, tell me, what did your brothers do while I was away?" Their father who obviously was enjoying the jokes asked as Dave sped on. "Dave asked Nate to steal five thousand naira from you drawer. Nate decided to test his engineering skills and the small generator stopped working. Dave this morning rendered the battery inside the small camry useless." She explained. "What do you suggest we do to them?" Their father asked. "I don't know o." Serena replied. "Maybe we should just invite the police." "No no no no... We can't invite the police, Nate just got out of one lock up." She had said it before she realised the gravity of her words. Out of shock, Dave stepped on the gas and the car flew forwards, while Nate almost flew out through the car window. "What?" Their father asked. Serena quickly bursted into laughter. "I mean I just released him. I actually locked him up inside his room. I released him this morning." She quickly replied. Even though Mr Oluwole Thomas was not convinced, he at the same time was convinced, because he knew the kind of children God gave him. He knew they can never in a way run into trouble with the police or anybody. The journey continued in silence, even though Nate was thankful to God that his father asked no more questions, same with Dave. And Serena on her part was sweating so hard, because she was still in shock with the way she almost gave away her brothers. --to be continued-- 1 Like |
