‘open up….’ Dami banged the door impatiently, he’d come home late and hadn’t wanted to disturb his mother and Fifi, so he’d decided to sleep outside….


‘Dami! Where have you been’? the door was ajar and his mother’s worried face peered at him….

Evelyn had been so worried, though she had been able to distract herself from thinking about her only son…by searching for Makanjuola’s will

‘I came home late….and I decided to sleep outside…’ he decided to keep her out of the events that had happened to him…

‘is that blood?’ Evelyn walked closer to him and panicked….what had gone wrong?

‘mum….am okay, am fine…just let it go’ he stuttered not knowing what to say….

‘let this go? Did you have an accident? Is that why you weren’t able to arrive on time to see your father’?

‘mum…can we talk about something else’? women! They had a way of turning stones to mountains…it was just a bloodstain…

He looked down on his shirt and noticed he was bleeding slightly….what could have triggered that? His chest region ached badly….

He was torn between decisions….was it safe to keep the pictures away from his mother? What if the person after their family had sent those armed robbers….it was all confusing…

It didn’t still make any sense….

‘mum…why is the house this scattered’? he noticed papers lay haphazardly across the room…

‘we are looking for dad’s will…..’ Fifi walked in still inside her pajamas….she bit her lip as her mother stared daggers at her….

‘what for’? Dami raised his brows….why on earth would his mother and sister search for their father’s will? Was he going to die? Oh my god! He panicked….

Then his fears were replaced with anger….anger that his mother and Fifi were greedy enough to search for the will of a living man…

‘so where have you been’? his mother ignored his question….

‘mother….you have’nt answered me…is something going to happen to dad? Is he dying? Why would you search for his will’?

He rose from the chair and went to fetch himself some water…he had to calm his nerves….

‘how could you let it slip’? Evelyn whispered tightly to her daughter who’d leaked their secret…

‘am sorry mom…dunno what came over me…’ she responded, feeling sorry….

‘excuse me….’ Evelyn picked her husband’s phone…someone was calling, luckily the robbers didn’t take any electrical appliance…

‘Hello goodmorning, Mrs Makanjuola on the line…please who am I speaking with’?

‘ermmm….morning madam….i am Chief Gbenga Oluwatosin…I’ll appreciate it if you hand over the phone to your husband…’ he had no time to waste….


‘oh my god….it’s a pleasure sir….’ She was all smiles…she’d spoken with the chief himself…

‘sir…my husband isn’t feeling well…he’s currently at the hospital…’ she explained, carefully leaving out the details of the robbery incident…

‘wow…that’s a spoiler…when do you think I can meet with him, it’s very important…’ the chief frowned a bit, he hated it when his plans were delayed…

‘ah! Sir…it doesn’t matter….i can still meet with you…we can discuss anything…or maybe you could come over the house and I take you to the hospital, if you want’? she prayed he accepted her idea…this would mean a good thing for Fifi…

‘Splendid!...i think that’s just what I would do…please send me your address…thank you’

‘OSHORO ESTATE…MAKANJUOLA’S RESIDENCE’ she added more hints to guide him…

‘it’s okay then…have a nice day Madam….’ He grinned at the other end and cut the call…

…………………………………..

‘mum who was that’? Fifi was curious….

‘guess’? Evelyn beamed with smiles…she stared from Dami to Fifi….the chief was coming over to their house….

‘mum I don’t feel like …please tell me’ Fifi wondered what good news it was…

‘I just spoke with Chief Oluwatosin…’ she exclaimed….

‘oh? Fifi’s Father –in law’ Dami scorned….set to get his pigheaded sister annoyed…something else bothered him…

‘oh shut up Dami….you’re just jealous…’ Fifi rolled her eyes…

‘would you stop it you two? Now isn’t the time to fight…get up and keep the house clean…the Chief is visiting…’

‘oh my god mom…is he coming alone? Is Vega coming with him?’ she rose up and hugged her mother…

‘uhmmm, I forgot to ask that…but you’ve just reminded me of something, if he eventually turns up without Vega…I’ll pressure him to let you visit his son…’

‘I love you mom…you’re the best’ she embraced her mother better…

‘mom you should be ashamed of yourself…p*mping out your daughter like some cheap cargo…we have something else going on and you’re jubilating about the Chief’s visit…when your husband lies critically at the hospital…’ Dami was completely pissed of…

‘shut up Dami…I’ll advise you to keep your mouth shut if you have nothing good to say to I or your sister…how dare you’? Evelyn walked towards him ready to hand him a slap…

‘don’t even try it mom…am saying the truth and you know it…how am I not sure you even sent that guy to murder me? So you and Fifi could take over father’s wealth’? he voiced out his thoughts, now it was all making sense…

Who else would want to hurt him?

‘are you crazy? How can you talk to mom like that’? her brother’s insolence knew no boundaries…

‘what are you talking about’? Evelyn was confused…how could he say something so mean to her?

‘I know you tried to kill me …don’t even pretend…but don’t even think of carting away with dad’s money…even if I die…Bola is still a bonafide member of this family and deserves to share in the common wealth’ he burst out angrily….

‘Damilola am disappointed in you…I know you probably took some cocaine yesterday and you’re still high…you’ll apologise later …stupid boy!’ she walked away from him….


‘and by the way…you’re driving us to the hospital…’ she hissed and walked away….

Dami looked around once more…it didn’t make sense…he’d just accused his mother of being behind his kidnap…but what if she was?

How about the pictures of her and Fifi? It didn’t add up…something was terribly wrong…whatever it was, he would find a way to end it…

But one thing was for sure, Bola needed to reconcile with their father…. His greedy mother and Fifi needed to be put in place….

He couldn’t wait to see his father…they had a lot to discuss…

For the first time, he felt responsible for something…he felt the pain of all the time he’d wasted in the University…

He felt like a man…

Once more…his heart searched for her…Rose…that was her name…btu he pushed her away…he wasn’t ever looking bad…


***
He’d woken earlier than usual… for one, he’d an appointment with his father…and she couldn’t let him sleep…

He felt stupid for leaving her like that….he hadn’t meant to…but seeing the way she fled from him at the sight of her lover hurt him slightly….

Thoughts of her troubled his sleep…tormented him…caused sleep to elude him….

He was going to forget her…at all cost…she wasn’t the right woman for him…though Ismail had given him a long lecture the previous night…

He wasn’t going to take any of it…he needed to please the Lion…why was he hellbent on stopping the union between him and Carol? There was something fishy about that and he was compelled to find out…

He checked his watch and brushed his hair hurriedly….Carol wasn’t yet back…thankfully she wouldn’t be here to cause him any guilt….

He wasn’t going with Ismail, it was a father-son outing……the Lion had his reasons for asking him to come alone….

…………………………….
Getting to the Chief’s office was quite easy as there was no traffic that morning….

Surprisingly the old man was already set, he looked every inch a king in his regalia….

The blue colored Agbada fitted him like a second skin and his cap sat proudly on his head, the Lion was a handsome man…

‘Goodmorning father….’ Vega walked in confidently….

‘Vega….i don’t like the way you’re dressed….’ He replied…

‘father…I don’t understand…’ he looked himself over….

‘you’re supposed to appear in your traditional clothes, we’re going to see your wife’s people for god’s sake…’ The lion looked at Vega for a while and turned to the window….

‘sorry father…I don’t have much traditional clothes and you never informed me of the dress code’ there was sarcasm In his voice…

‘don’t jest with me boy….something disturbs me…’ the Lion focused on the streets once again….

‘dad….are you okay’? Vega settled in one of the comfy cushions…his father sounded different….like there was fear and uncertainty in his voice…

‘It’s your brother Tony…when he called to tell me about the company….that’s the fire incident…there was something in his voice….i can’t place it…but I think he’s playing tricks on me…’ he walked over to the table and rang the bell for his morning coffee…

‘you think he’s lying? Why would he do that? What can he achieve by such deceit’? Vega reasoned….what if his father was just being paranoid?

‘I know you think me crazy…trust me, am not…I can smell deceit from a distance……just like I saw through your façade…’ he smiled to himself and wondered why his other son would betray him…

‘father…it’s just difficult to believe Tony would do such a thing…I think we should keep our fingers crossed….’ Vega suggested….

‘Your mother may be behind this….’ The chief continued….

‘dad…you’re scaring me with your ideas…why would you even think that? Mum is having vacation and you guys hardly speak to each other…why would you even think that’?

‘I called your aunt she went to visit yesterday….she told me your mother had gone to see Tony in Istanbul….your mother had always wanted to harm me for years…’ the chief explained calmly…it was all making sense now…

‘considering you cheated on her severally and slept with my girlfriend on your matrimonial bed, I think you deserve it….’ Vega poured himself some coffee….

‘not funny….your mother is more dangerous than you can imagine…I cheated on her yes,…but she cheated on me first and more than thrice with my friends…I regret marrying her…am telling you this son…though I would have had you and Tony…’

‘dad…how can you say something so mean? She’s still my mother…and I don’t believe she ever cheated…’ Vega dropped his cup as he lost apetite from what the old man was saying…

‘maybe god was punishing me…through Margeret…your mother was my punishment’….

‘how’? Vega rubbed his head…

‘I had this lovely girlfriend, her name was Alero…she was so nice to me…but I never cared…I didn’t cherish her…and I broke her heart ……I haven’t seen her for thirty years now…if only I could see her and beg for her forgiveness’ he peered into the streets quietly…

‘Alero? …am sorry dad’ he sympathized with his father for the first time…the old man looked every sad…

‘thanks son…we’re running late…let’s get going’ he felt better after having that chat with his son….

‘so dad…do I have to marry this girl? Considering we’ve just reconcile?’ he’d not had this kind of tete a tete with his dad for many years now….

‘hahahaha…I just needed someone to talk to…you happened to be there Vega…you’re still marrying Fikayo Makanjuola or I disinherit you…’ he patted Vega on the back and headed for the car….


‘how about Carol? Why can’t you give me your blessing? Why do you want me to end up unhappy like you’? he called after his father….

Those words brought the chief to a standstill….then he turned and faced his son…

‘maybe I don’t want you to make the same mistakes as I’ he replied and slid into the car…

***

‘I think they’re here….’ Fifi peered at the window nervously…. He was going to be here any minute from then….

‘mom how do I look’? she spun round….

‘elegant my love….am so happy this day…’ Evelyn smiled warmly, ignoring her son who was totally engrossed in his vain thoughts….

‘Be a good boy…go open the door Damilola…while I wait here with your sister…’

‘Hmmm….’ Dami eyed his mother suspiciously and left for the door….

‘Goodmorning sir….’ Dami was shocked to see this man here….had he come to harm him for bashing his car?
Was his driver dead?

Many thoughts ran through his mind as he stood before the young man and the other fierce looking man…

‘you’? Vega replied….what was he doing here…hadn’t he had enough appearances?
First, he’d collided into them…then he came to SAVORY with Bola and here he was…what was going on?

……………………………..

‘what’s going on here? have you two met before’? the Lion looked from the handsome young man to his son Vega….

‘kind of dad….’ Vega replied coolly….

‘come in sir’ Dami directed the visitors into the livingroom….

It was confusing…Vega Oluwatosin was different from his pictures…he quickly grabbed his phone and decided to do some research….

‘wow Chief welcome…Vega…come give me a hug….my son-in law’ Evelyn opened her arm for an embrace….

‘so fast…’ the Chief muttered and avoided Vega’s eyes…the boy looked like he was ready to kill him…

‘come and greet Vega properly….’ Evelyn pushed Fifi forward….


‘welcome Vega…’ she bent her knees before him ….

‘am sorry I didn’t tell you Vega would be coming along with me…it was meant to be a surprise…’ the chief was pleased with the warm welcome…

‘no problem chief, we’re glad to have you…’ Evelyn replied….

‘who is the young man’? the chief narrowed his eyes on Dami who was busy with his phone…why were young kids of this generation so insolent?

‘Damilola!’ Evelyn screamed loudly and he jerked….

‘am sorry sir…I was wondering where I’d seen him….’ He referred to Vega….

‘it’s okay boy…you kids like social media…’ the chief laughed it off….

‘he’s my first and only son….Sir…’ Evelyn explained….

‘eh?’ Vega rolled his eyes….so Bola loved to go for the rich guys…

‘Hey Vega ….can we talk for a minute…am pleased to meet you…I just read about you…apparently I confused you with your brother Tony…’ Dami chattered excitedly…

‘wow…’ Vega wondered what he was up to….was there a point of talking privately? He might as well say whatever he had to say….

‘I first saw you on SONGBET….’ Vega began…he remembered the pictures of him and Bola….

‘oh my god, you follow the competition’? Fifi chipped in excitedly…my god? She was so lucky to have him….was he looking out for her in the competition? Her heart gladden at the thought….

‘of course I do…actually…my Girl…ermmm I mean I have a friend there…her name is Carol’ he sighed inwardly and smiled at the girl he was supposed to marry….

Fikayo was pretty no doubt, but nothing in her attracted him…

‘so as I was saying….i saw you with one of the contestants…’ Vega continued…

‘Bola? You mean?....she’s a very nosy person’ Fifi cut in again….

The Chief and Evelyn watched them silently….

‘yes Bola…..’ Vega concurred…

‘don’t mind those bloggers…she’s my sister…’ Dami laughed….

‘uhmmm…I think we should go to the table…I prepared something special for you chief….’

‘you are very kind Evelyn….am always ready to eat something nice…leave the kids alone…’ he ignored his son and went over to the table…

Evelyn was a bit concerned….she’d expected Vega to follow his dad but he sat there discussing with her foolish children….

Why on earth did they have to mention Bola? She always ruined everything….


‘your sister’? Vega rolled his eyes….Femi had said something similar….

‘sadly…she is our sister…now let’s go and eat darling….’ Fifi held unto his arms and smiled sweetly….

‘I can’t believe that…’ he muttered…

‘half sister by the way…her mother was a very loose woman…’ Fifi whispered to his ears…

Before he could reply…Evelyn had offered him a seat near her and he couldn’t refuse….
