CHAPTER 5
________________________________________________
Mr Oluwole Thomas drove into the court premises with his first son Davies seated beside him. The time for hearing their case was eleven o'clock and the time now says five minutes after ten. Father and son decided to stroll around the court premises.
"Dad, do you think this is the best thing to do?" Dave asked as he settled down with his father on one of the chairs arraged behind the court building.
"I don't get." His father said.
"I mean the divorce, don't you think something can be done to avert that? You two can make things up and we return to the happy family we once were." Davies said.
"Divorce is the last thing on my mind. When this problems started, I talked to Anita like the husband that I am, she gave me no listening hear. Then I concluded that I am at fault, I accepted all blames and apologised, but she was head bent of making me go through hell. You are a man now, and I think the way you see and handle things should be more matured than your younger ones." He explained.
"Dad, I understand you, but for the sake of we your children, this divorce could cause a lot of problems. You were well aware of what happened between Nate and I, things were not like that before. Even with the age difference, we were best of friends, but since the problem between you and mum started, I just don't understand." Dave explained.
"You know what so? Anita had succeeded in brainwashing Nathaniel and Serena. She had told them some lies about me that the kids are now seeing me as a bad father. I know they will opt to live with their mum if things eventually go the way I want it. But I don't care, so far I have you." He explained.
"Dad, but all the same, remember I am no longer a kid, sooner or later I will get married and become a family man, who will be with you by then?"
"God." Oluwole Thomas replied.
"Which is why you need your wife." Dave enthused.
--------------
Anita was seated in her car with her chidren, Nathaniel and Serena.
"Mum, why not settle things with dad?" Serena asked.
"Are you okay at all?" Nate asked.
"I am okay. Its just that, I think.." She was explaining when Nathaniel cut her short.
"What I want you two to do for me now is to come into the court as witnesses, I already told my lawyer about you. Nate, remember, your father ordered Davies to beat you. Serena remember you were sleeping on the couch when it happened. Okay?" She explained to her children.
Even though she wasn't comfortable with the idea, she still had no choice other than defend her mother.
"And I case things didn't work our way. If the judge pronouce the divorce verdict, I already told my lawyer to plead for Oluwole's property to be shared into half. Nate remember, you are moving out with me if I you father eventually divorced me. And you too." Anita explained.
"Okay mummy." Nathaniel replied.
------------
The ongoing case had just came to an end, and as the crowds began to troop out, Oluwole returned with Dave to the parking lot.
His eyes met with his wife's eye and he quickly looked away.
Five minutes later, they were summoned, after which proceeding and hearing began.
Twenty minutes into the session, after the two lawyers had spit it on each other's faces. Referenced to the whole of the constitution that had to do with family or human right. There was nothing to quote from any longer.
"My Lord, please permit me to call on witnesses who can shed more light on this issue." Anita's lawyer said.
"Granted." Judge said.
Nate and Serena both stepped into the witness box and took the oath, after which they started stringing lies against their father. It was now evident that Oluwole Thomas would loose the suit filed against his wife, but unknown to everyone at the court of law, Oluwole's lawyer, who was also his cousin was expecting a scenario like this and had already prepared his counter-speech.
"My lord, I am saying before this court that the two kids here are asked to do this. I have evidences with me." Oluwole's lawyer began.
"Go on." The judge urged.
"Just lats week, this girl here, called me last week as well lamenting bitterly how their parent's misundersatnding is telling on the happiness in the house. She put all blames on her mother, blaming her for falling out with their father." He explained.
"I want to ask my colleague here that, is it possible for you to oppose bitterly with tears in your eyes a week ago and change to defend the person you opposed a week ago, with tears in your eyes once again?" He asked.

The repelling of lies seem to provoke karma. Anita seems to hit a ditch while thomas stoop to conquer.
