Kelvin alighted first and opened the door for me
immediately we arrived my compound.We both
walked hand in hand into the house.
We met my foster parent in the livingroom and we
took turn to hug the both of them.
“Get a drink for kelvin” Mi dad said immediately
we settled and i rose to get the drink. Kelvin
stopped me half way with the excuse that he was
full.
“Sir am actually here to seek a favour” Kelvin
said, facing Mi dad.Mi dad fixed his gaze on
Kelvin and said “Go on my son”.
Kelvin composed himself and said “Sir, Ma’am,
my dad is here in Ilorin and he would love to
meet the both of you. If your schedule will allow
you sir, my dad wants you and your family to
come over for dinner on sunday.”
I could see the shock in my foster parent’s
eyes.They both exchanged a glance and mi mom
winked at me.I could not help but smile,
wondering what was going on in the adults mind.
“Of course, anything for my princess.Am suppose
to travel on Saturday but am staying back now”
Mi dad said with a smile.
Kelvin showed gratitude to my foster parent
before he took his leave.
After kelvin’s departure, My foster parent put me
on the spotlight and made me narrate the day’s
event to them before i finally escaped to my room
after a long talk with them. I called khole and
informed her of all that happened before i got
ready to sleep. I went to bed with mixed feelings,
i was happy my parent would be meeting kelvin’s
and i was worried about making the right decision
or not.
Throughout the week, i anxiously waited for
sunday to come.
****
Time checked 6:00pm, on sunday evening.I wore
a blue flowing gown and a pair of wedge sandal.I
had my hair neatly packed and with little
makeup,i was ready for the dinner at kelvin’s.
I was surprised to see Mi mom look drop dead
gorgeous in a matching native attire with Mi dad,
when i got to the livingroom. She also had a set
of expensive jewelry on.I teased her about
planning to seduce the president and all both
laughed.
Kelvin arrived some minutes later and i left with
him, in his car while my foster parents followed
from behind in theirs.
***
We were warmly welcomed when we got to
Kelvin’s residence.Mi dad and the president
talked and laughed out loud as if they were long
time friends while mi mom chatted with kelvin’s
mother like sister.I also had fun playing games
with kelvin and loretta after the meal, giving the
adults time to talk.
At exactly 8:05pm, Mi mom informed me it was
time to leave with a phone call. Though i felt at
home already, i could not stay behind.I said my
goodbyes and left with my parent in their car.
I could not hide my anxiety in knowing the
outcome of the adults meeting.” Mom, Dad,
whatsup?” I said immediately we settled in the
livingroom. My foster parent exchanged a glance
before Mi dad said
“Be ready to get married in a month baby!”
“WTF” was the only statement i could make, as
my jaw dropped.
