Episode 7
She had a lot of “if I had” thoughts but know she was glad he was alive just that was enough to make her happy.
“Amaka, how are you? Thank you so much, you’ve been a blessing.” he said wiping his tears, “please forgive me, Amaka, I acted out of pride, I should have stood by you instead of chasing you away.” he said, tearfully, his voice shook with sorrow.
He had chased his only daughter, what if she had ended on the streets? Nne had pleaded with him through the years to forgive his daughter, but the disappointment was a deep blow to his ego.
“Papa, and those that are called according to his purpose. If I hadn’t left, I wouldn’t have pursued my dreams of being a clothing designer. Now all we can say is glory be to God.” she said, as she hugged him.
People around them were moved, and she heard a few sniffs. Ness hugged her and then she greeted the twins,
Gina’s twins. Adorable little girls, they were three years old.
“Papa, Mama, this is Christopher Dan Chukwuebuka.” she said, as she carried her son from Nana.
Her parents were all over the boy.
“Why does he look like my grandfather?” Mazi asked joking, as they left to the parking lot.
“You see, I warned you when I said one of our grandchildren will look like that man, you never listened to me. You see now.” her mom added, and they all burst into laughter.
It was such a happy reunion, they joked and ate when they got home. Mazi Benjamin showered praises on Sophia, even Ness had to comment on it.
Sophia was back to her former room, but she still worked as an online free fashion agent.
Nana was allowed to go back despite her refusal, she agreed when they both agreed to visit each other.
Gina helped her secure a good job with a male couture designer, but she hadn’t fully resumed work there.
She missed Nigeria, she missed the fun, warmth and lively atmosphere. She had enough to take care of Chris and herself.
She decided to check on her charity foundation
“Nkiru, come here, where is Papa?” she asked as she sat on the brown settee.
“Madam, he and Mummy went out to see someone.” Nkiru was glad to see that small madam was back after her father wickedly chased her away. If it were her, she’d have left him to die. He really was a heartless man trying to reap where he didn’t sow.
“Did you see the food I brought? Warm the rice and bring out the salad. Make Golden Morn for Chris hmm thank you.” she said, but Nkiru hesitated.
“Madam, Chris doesn’t like the food. He prefers Kellogs.” she said, as Sophia burst into laughter.
“Hey so Chris is the madam here abi? Don’t let that small boy deceive you. He has been spoilt by my parents and now you too want to join them abi?” Sophia said as the maid gave a small smile.
“Okay ma.” the maid said and she left to carry out the orders.
Hmm, Amaka, when will we see the father of this boy eh?” she turned towards her mother, who was entering into the kitchen. Her mother had grown lean over the years.
“Mama, I don’t want us to talk about that now, how are you feeling?”[/b] she said, as she dropped the spoon she used in cooking on a plate.
“Why are you changing the subject? Don’t play me here, anyway I’m fine. What are you cooking?” she asked as she noticed the uziza leaves on the chopping board.
“Mama, you know already. I bought stockfish and chicken, Felix told me that he’s bringing his fiancee today.” she said, as she continued cooking.
“Yes, he told me.” her mother said reluctantly.
“Mama, please allow Felix to marry whoever he wishes now.” she said, as she turned to collect the chopped onions from her mother.
“Can you hear yourself? Your brother should marry that fulani witch eh?” Nne took a defensive stance.
“Mama haba why now eh? A witch ? did you catch her in the act.” she wasn’t going to tolerate her mother’s hostile attitude.
“Amaka, I gave birth to my son, let me decide for him.” she said as she hissed.
“Mama you can’t define happiness for Felix he is a mature man and he knows what is best for him,he don’t let him suffer in his marriage.” she tried to hug her mother.
“Me che onu there! Shut up, see who is talking, you are hiding your son from his father and here you are saying happiness, who made you a marriage counsellor, eh? You have a child out of wedlock and you are afraid of the father.” her mother cut at her weak point.
“Mama!” she suddenly shouted, her mother realised that she had just put her foot in her mouth.
“The reason why I hid my son, and the reason why I’m not chasing after his father is because, I wanted to care for you and my siblings, I didn’t want any embarrassment from your social circle. Is it wrong for me to decide to do all this, biko tell me?” she asked, fuming.
“Ada, I told you to leave this girl alone.” her father walked in on them.
“Papa, I’m tired, why is she pestering me now? After all I did, well let me shock you, Mama. Soon, very soon you’ll see the father of my son. But if you dare try the nonsense you are doing with Felix, I’ll make you deal with pepper.” she stormed out and left the food.
“Nne Amaka why now? Why are you disturbing yourself? She had made a mistake, please let her correct it herself.” he held his wife, who was already sobbing.
“I didn’t mean any harm nnayi, all I wanted to…” she was shut by her husband’s stern look.
“Its okay.” he looked at her gently, and she wiped her face. She didn’t want to stress her husband, he was her life and all she had.
“Let me check the food then.” she left his arms and sighed.
SIX YEARS AGO
He looked around as he stretched and yawned, he had brought a girl home. His eyes searched around as he noticed his door was opened.
“Maybe she’s downstairs.” he thought, he just had the best night of his life. That girl was a dream, he recollected how they met. She had a lot of spunk, and she was a virgin. It made him very proud, well he had better go downstairs to check on her.
His clothes were everywhere, like he cared. The maid would take care of everything. He whistled happily, maybe they could go for another round.
He got down, and searched everywhere in the house, “What da…” he said to himself, did she just disappear into thin air. He walked out to his living room, the door was wide open. She must have left in a hurry.
“Timothy, did you see any girl go out?” he asked, as the gateman came out.
“No… Oga yes, one girl like this, she no too tall, em she no wear shoe, I no sabi am.” he said scratching his bald forehead.
“So she went out.” he asked angrily.
“Yes Oga.” the man gave him a curious look.
At that moment, his phone rang, it was his label producer.
“Good morning Dan, how are you today? How was the show?” he said in a gruff voice.
“Fine sir, the show was splendid.” he said as he almost wished to stop the call.
“Good I’m expecting you at the studio next week though.” he said and cut the line.
“Really? Man cannot rest oh.” he said as he ignored the gate man and entered the house, he had to find that girl, he needed to find her. Why on earth would she run away, some others would have relaxed and would want to hang out with him.
He was in his room, sorting out his clothes. He needed a new lay and that girl must simply be the one, no one else.
He felt his head twirling, yeah too much alcohol in the system was already affecting him.
“poo, I need to find her.” he steadied himself as he left for the bathroom.
