IN THE DARK
SEASON 2 EPISODE 6
I went back to the house and assisted in packing
the leftovers. I noticed that mi dad was sitting
alone in a corner of the livingroom while mi mom
was bussy saying farewell to the guests, i walked
to mi dad and said “Hi dad”. He smilled at me
and said “Our baby, how are you, where did you
disappear to?” i sat close to mi dad, placed my
hand across his shoulder and said “have been
around dad. I need to talk to you about
something”. Mi dad chuckled and said “I know its
about money madam, we are listening”. I smilled
and told mi dad about Mr. Joe, emphasizing on
how good he was then and how bad his condition
is. I told dad about nelly’s assistance and how
much i would love dad to give him a permanent
solution.
Dad sighed and told me to call Mr. Joe. I looked
at mi dad with a pleading eyes and he said “Just
call him, we can’t just employ him like that”. At
the hearing of employment i became happy and
rushed to the kitchen to get Mr. Joe.
I came back with Mr. Joe not long after and i sat
with dad while Mr. Joe was on his feet answering
dad’s question. He was a degree holder so mi
dad finally offered him an employment with an
official house and car, a good pay and other
working benefits. For his wife’s treatment, mi dad
gave him half a million in addition to Nelly’s cash
give. Mr. Joe prostrated and thanked my dad
profusely before leaving.
**********************
Time checked 9:00PM, all the guests were gone
already and the house was put to order by the
maids, Josh had left as well and i was alone with
khole. Myself and khole went to bid my foster
parent goodnight in there room, after which we
returned to khole’s room.
Immediately we got to khole’s room, i received a
message alert. I settled on khole’s bed and
checked the message, it was from Jordan. “Words
enough cannot express how happy i am right
now. You made me the happiest man on earth
and am going crazy out of excitement. The ring is
so beautiful and precious, i know its special to
you and i promise to keep it safe for the rest of
my life with you. I could not hide my excitement, i
had to show the ring to my parents. They can’t
wait to see you again as their daughter inlaw.
Goodnight baby, i love you from the sky down to
earth (heart my words)” that was the content of
the message. I could not help but smile at my
phone as i read the message over and over
again. “Who is that?” khole’s voice brought me
back to reality. I smilled and told khole it was
Jordan. “Jordan? Are you two up to something
again? You both disappeared at the party”. I
moved closer to khole on the bed and told her
everything that has happened, of course i skipped
the romantic part. Khole let out a loud breathe,
held my hand and said “Nancy am happy you
found love again but are you sure it is with the
right person? This is the same guy that cheated
on you with you best friend five years ago.Fine!
his excuses were good enough and that is the
reason why we are giving them another chance in
our lives, but i expect you to study him more and
determine if he really worth this love you are
showering him with. He is still super close with
nelly you know? They looked like a couple today.
Nancy i just do not want to see you go through
emotional trauma again”. Khole ended her speech
and i felt love. I smilled and told khole, i felt
Jordan deserve a second chance and i was inlove
with him again. I told her i was still trying to build
the trust but no matter what, i wanted to give the
love a chance to blossom. Khole smilled again
and said “If thats what you want, i support you
girl. Just be careful don’t be blinded by love and
do not shut your heart to love as well. Do whats
right and be a good girl my child” i hit khole
playful and i thanked her for the care. We had a
tight hug and i was so happy i had a family to
share my feelings with. “Truly there is nothing
like family” i thought in the middle of the hug.
Khole ended the hug and we sat hand in hand on
bed still in our party dress. “gist me about the
preparation” i said breaking the silence. “Actually
you and mom will be doing most of the
preparation, i was given just a month break at the
bank. You will go on a tour with mom for like the
next two months while i will take care of things
that will be done here. I have registered a month
wedding counsel with Josh and i will travel with
you for a week later.We will be getting the
wedding gown and ladies dress together,we will
return a week to the wedding”
“Wow you have everything planned out” i
said.Khole smilled and said “Am sorry babes, i
cant just wait to get married to Josh, he is my
everything”. “Just the way Jordan is my world” i
said and we both laughed. “come to think of it,
there names start with the letter J. Am sure J is a
super letter” Khole said.
We laughed out loud and both head to the
bathroom to change into our night dress.
LOVE IS COLOURFUL

The introduction was done the week after the
celebration and mi mom had to go on a bussiness
trip before embarking on the planned trip. I had
two weeks break to myself before travelling with
mom. I was alone with Mi dad at home but he
always go out in the morning and returns at night.
I spent most of my time with Jordan. We would
go out for lunch, go for shopping, go to the zoo
and any other place that interest us. Sometimes
we stay in Jordan’s house whenever we do not
feel like hanging out. Jordan’s parent accepted
me into their family and in less than a week i
became familiar with his family.
Goodbyes are always difficult to say, especially to
love ones. Mom returned from her trip and it was
time for us to embark on a month Jorney together
for the wedding.
Jordan and nelly saw me off to the airport and i
had an emotional hug with Jordan before finally
departing. I had no other choice than to endure a
distance relationship till the end of the khole’s
wedding. Leaving Jordan with nelly was a bit
difficult for me, i was getting use to been with him
always. Truthfully, i still had trust issues with the
duo but i had no other choice than to give fate a
chance. What is mine will always come back to
me. I told myself.
Mi mom questioned me about Jordan in the
middle of the flight. From the emotions we shared
before departing, she gussed we were lovers. At
first she was angry with me for not trusting her
enough to share my love life with her but she
later forgive me and gave me a piece of
relationship advice. I told mi mom everything
about my relationship with Jordan, not skipping
what happened, five years ago. Mi mom told me
not to give up because of what he did in the past
and i should never trust men completely as well.
She also told me to work on my trust and do what
is best for me. I was glad to share my emotions
with mi mom and i felt relived sharing my
emotions with an elder.
We got the aso-ebi from dubai and the traditional
dress we would be wearing for the engagement.
Different clothes were picked for different set of
people, ranging from the highly important
guests,to the close family friends and the regular
people that will be in attendance. Mi mom sent
the clothes to Nigeria through a friend, who will
be helping to distribute them before our arrival.
From dubai we went to china where mi mom
ordered for different kind of electronic machines
for khole’s personal use after the wedding.Accordi
ng to Mi mom China has the best electronic home
appliance.
From chain we went back to dubai again, where
we got expensive jewelry for the wedding. We
arrived Nigeria after Dubai and it was good to be
home again.
Throughoutmy absence, Jordan kept to his
promise, he would call me in the morning and in
the night before going to bed but nothing felt like
been with him. All in all it was good to be home
again, even though it was for a while.
The following week after my arrival from the trip
with mom, i traveled with khole to Canada to get
the ladies wear and wedding gown from “House of
diva collection”. We were supposed to go with
Nelly, but before the trip she had an attack. I
witnessed how terrible an asthma attack could be
that very day. She got everybody scared and
worried. Not until she was healthy did i stop to
worry about her.
We decided she should rest at home instead of
travelling with us. Jordan also travelled with Josh
for the men suit and traditional dress. They had it
booked with “Yomi casual” in Nigeria.
It was fun to be alone with Khole, she was a
happy bride. We finally got a wedding gown worth
two million naira in nigeria currency. The bridal
train comprised of ladies and kids from the
wealthy class. It was not difficult to get a beautiful
cream gown for the ladies while we got another
design for the kids. Each dress cost two hundred
thousand and the price of the shoe ranges from a
hundred and fifty thousand to two hundred
thousand. According to the seize. Since the dress
code was cream and red, we got red heels for
everybody. We shopped for all the needed items
including the makeups and finally we had
everything needed.
We arrived Nigeria in just a week to Khole’s
wedding. Jordan and Josh were back already but
everybody was too bussy making plans for the
wedding. The wedding plan was changed and the
engagement was scheduled for Saturday at “Stella
Obasanjo multi purpose hall” at 4:00pm.
The registery marriage was to begin by
7:00am-8:00am.
The church wedding was to commence by
10:00am-12:00pm and finally
The reception was scheduled for 1:00pm till the
party ends.
We prayed, planned and made preparations for a
successful wedding. This is one of the most
important things to be done in Life, getting
married is everybody’s dream and most especially
to the right partner. We had a bridal shower on
Tuesday evening and we had a all night party
with the female friends.
