THE MIRACLE I NEED SEASON 2 : Episode 31 – The End

Episode 32

Aunty Martha who had let them into the house walked in with a tray of non-alcoholic wine and two glasses for them, “I think I left the corkscrew. I will be right back,” She said, making Kathleen stifle a giggle.

“What’s funny?” Pete asked curiously.

Kathleen shook her head, “Nothing,” she said, even though Pete could see she was trying not to laugh.

“Tell me nau,” Pete pleaded.

“She said corkscrew. As in cock and screw,” Kathleen whispered.

Pete looked at her in confusion and then his eyes widened in surprise before he burst into uncontrollable laughter, “Oh my goodness! When did you become this way?” Pete asked in disbelief making Kathleen smile shyly.

“What way?”

“This spoilt. Like, I can’t believe you actually said that,” Pete said, trying to control his laughter.

“You see why I didn’t want to tell you anything?” Kathleen asked grudgingly.

“Where did you learn that from?” Pete asked, ignoring her embarrassment.

“One time at the office someone mentioned it while cracking a joke and the rest burst into laughter. Of course, I didn’t get the joke then, but now I do,” Kathleen said with a small smile.

Before Pete could respond, they heard the footsteps descending the stairs, which told them Eric and Kimberly were joining them, “Good evening, sorry we kept you guys waiting,” Kimberly said apologetically as both she and Eric descended the stairs.

“It’s fine. Good evening,” Kathleen said with a pleasant smile, while Pete stood up to shake Eric.

“What about Prisca and Chuka? Are they not joining us?” Kathleen asked curiously.

“No, Chuka is still undergoing his training at the company in Abuja. It will take about a year before he returns to Lagos, that is if he is not retained over there,” Eric said.

“Prisca traveled to Benin with some of the workers to supervise a job. She will be back once they are done with the job,” Kimberly said, and Kathleen nodded.

While they were still exchanging pleasantries the doorbell rang and Eric went to get the door for Ella and Ken, “Sorry we are late, madam took all day fixing her make-up,” Ken said, making Ella jab his ribs with her elbow.

“I suppose it was worth it. She looks really beautiful,” Eric said with a smile as he let them in.

“Babe?” Kimberly called from behind him with a displeased look.

“Yeah?” Eric answered, wondering what had caused her displeasure.

“So everyone looks beautiful for you? I thought the compliment was solely reserved for me?” She asked making the others laugh.

“Oh! Well, she is pretty but her beauty can never be compared to yours, my jewel,” Eric rushed to assure her.

“Women! All of them are the same,” Ken said with a shake of his head, knowing that Ella was very capable of such a petty display of jealousy.

Soon they all moved to the dining which aunty Martha and the maids had arranged for dinner. Thankfully it was a round table, so the seating arrangement was easy, with each person seated next to their partner. However, Pete sat between Kathleen and Ken, and Ella sat between Ken and Eric. That way they were all well distributed with Kathleen seated close to Kimberly.

“Hm, this food,” Ella said, closing her eyes as she chewed on her first bite of the well-seasoned turkey.

“Aunty Martha? How much do they pay you here? How about you come live with me instead? I promise to double your pay,” Ken called out to the lady who was in the kitchen, making her laugh.

“Babe, you love the food?” Pete asked Kathleen, and when she nodded eagerly he called out to aunty Martha as well, “I will triple your salary if you come to work for me.”

“Are you sure you can do that?” Aunty Martha asked, coming to stand by the door.

“Aunt Martha, don’t tell me you are seriously considering their offer! We will fourple your salary instead,” Kimberly said, and everyone laughed again.

“Okay, you people should keep bidding. I will work for the highest bidder,” she said before returning to the kitchen to continue with what she was doing.

“Traitors. How can you come to my house and try to steal my chef from me right under my nose?” Eric hissed, and they all laughed.

“You can’t blame us. Blame her for cooking so well,” Kathleen said with a small smile.

They continued with small talk, and Pete and Kathleen told them about the fun places they had visited during their honeymoon. Once they were done with dinner they all moved to the living room.

“Should we get down to serious business before we play games, or should we play games before we talk about business?” Kimberly asked since she was the hostess.

“Let’s go with whichever you prefer,” Kathleen suggested.

They all remained quiet as they waited for Kimberly to decide what she wanted, “Okay, I fear I might not be able to enjoy the game if I don’t get the business out of the way. Kat? Have you come to a decision yet?” Kimberly asked, looking at Kathleen expectantly. Everyone turned to look at Kathleen too since they were all aware of it.

Kathleen cleared her throat, “Well, I have a condition attached,” Kathleen said, making the others look at her curiously, including Pete who didn’t know what she was talking about.

“Go on, let’s hear it,” Eric urged her on.

“I was thinking if we are going to do this, it shouldn’t be just a foundation. Maybe we should have a television or radio show where we can discuss the subject too.

We can bring in guests once a week to talk about their experience, the roles their parents played in it, and how they survived. That way we can enlighten parents about what might be going on under their roof without their knowledge.

Trying to help girls who have been sxually abused is one thing, but preventing it so that many others don’t experience it, is another thing. And the only way we can do that is by sensitizing the public about this,” Kathleen said, and they all remained quiet as they digested what she had said.

Pete reached out a hand to Kathleen and gave her a big smile, “It’s a brilliant idea. I’m so proud of you,” he whispered to her, making her smile, while they waited for the others
