EPISODE 36
Uncle Ade was behind him. It was as if the cat got my tongue for a minute or so
“Aramideeeeeeeeeeee
Can we come inside?” Uncle Ade asked…just to break the ice
“Good…good evening sir
Sure sir” I mumbled as I opened the door wide.
The fact that Folahan was not with them bothered me and as I was about to ask for him…Uncle Ade said
“Don’t worry; Folahan is in the car outside.
I told him we had to talk to you first and I will let him know when we need his attention”
I could tell Uncle Ade was already caught up…his facial expression gave him away although he tried to keep an unruffled composure.
Captain decided to bell the cat and that was how I found out that his departure after the reconciliation with Folahan was to go see Uncle Ade. They had just started building friendship following everything that had happened in Captain’s marriage. He could not think of anyone else wise enough to help with this, so he had to swallow his pride and came clean before his brother-in-law.
“The moment I saw you, I knew there was trouble
The corpse I thought I had buried secretly was about to be exhumed
My wife knew I had an affair and we already resolved that, it’s a chapter of our marriage that we already closed, locked up and threw away the keys.
All I’ve ever wanted is to have my son back in my life…a relationship that was before now, barely existent and then this? It is definitely going to pull the plug on it.
For a moment, I wished I could die…it sounded like an easy solution
I knew I had to do something and I had to do it fast.
Then I thought of ‘Sir Ade’…so I called and told him my home was about to explode. He asked me to come over so we could talk about it.
I was still with him when they called to inform me that you left abruptly and without words…I didn’t want to go back home, my conscience could not take it.
It was Sir Ade that encouraged me and said we would find a way around this as long as we could find you.
I know all the nice things Folahan told Kemi, my wife, about you…she was really looking forward to meeting you, bonding with you and becoming your mother-in-law.
Folahan and I may not have been talking, but I get everything I need to know about him through my wife and I know he is crazy about you.
