************
Her face creased into a frown as she pressed the door bell again.
"damn" she cursed under her breathe as she looked around her.
The night was chilly and held untold events.

"a weather for two" she whispered folding her arms across her chest. She wondered what her family members were?

"sasha?" Kola's voice came in a frigntened whisper.

"Oh you pukeface!" she turned to face him
"so you guyz were in? I've been pressing this bell for..."

"keep your cool" Cassandra surfaced
"Kemi is around" she added paving way for Sasha to walk in.

"Aunty Kay?" Sasha asked-eyes wide

" yea, get ready to tell her where you're coming from, by 8pm in school uniform." Cassandra sneered.

Sasha swallowed. Kemi was around? Of all days! She should have known, she wouldn't have gone to see whoever.

"Sasha get over here!" Kemi's voice rang out from the Dinning section.

Throwing her bag down, she walked slowly towards the dinning

"Good evening mum-dad, Aunty kay welcome, when did you arrive?" her voice betrayed her.

"where on earth are you coming from?" Kemi asked in between her teeth.

Williams gulped down some water to ease his anger, Barbra grithed her teeth, Kola bent his head- tensed up.

"Aunty kay, you're welcome, how's Uncle TeeJay?" Shasha was trying her best to maintain her composure.

"Did you hear my question?"

"Yea, sure did." Shasha cleared her throat.
"I and Kenny stayed back in the school library to read...errrm..you know, our exams is on."

"but I came personally to your school to pick you but..." Kemi sounded cool

"I said we're in the library, at the far end of the library. And Traffic kept us for hours" she explained again.

"okay, fine then, how was your day?" kemi resumed eating.
"how are you Sasha?" Williams and his wife chorused

"Fine thanks." Sasha helped herself into a chair.
"School was really hectic today." she started scooping food into her plate.

"That's school life for you." Kemi said relaxed.

"Yea auntymi, we're just solving mathematical questions, gosh! Different kind of theorems." Sasha explained.

"or walking around my school with your boyfriend-I rather say." Cassandra said wiping her mouth with a napkin.

Sasha's heart lurched, everything came to a standstill.
"Cassie..." she said in a painful whisper.

Kemi looked at her two sisters, the older having a triumphant look, the younger looking frightened.

"oh I shouldn't have spilled the beans." Cassandra scoffed.
"well, they believed your lies, not me."

"whats going on?" Barbra enquired

"I saw your pretty daughter alongside Kenny, cruising my school in her boyfriends car." Cassandra said without caution.

"Sasha Williams!" Barbra was trembling.
"are you gonna tell the truth now?!"

"I...We went to see a friend and we weren't time conscious..."

The plates and cups that started flying in the air, made her jump to her feet.

"Sasha Williams you lied! You have no idea what you've done.."Barbra pulled herself up.

"Honey.." Williams tried to hold his wife.

"I never caused my mother heart ache, and my own child is trying to kill me."The dam broke

"But mum..."

"Gbe enu re soun, omo rada rada." Kemi's hand flew into the air, but missed Sasha's face.

Sasha ran to her room banging the door behind her. What was wrong with everybody? She could still hear her mother and Kemi screaming, while her father was trying to calm them down.

Her phone beeped
"hello Kenny?"

"Hello locky how far?"

"Very bad, kenny, Cassie saw us, she spilled it out, Aunty Kemi is in town , the house is on fire....Kenny as I speak to you, I'm seeking refuge in my room" She was panting.

"oh my God! Aunty Kemi? Gosh! Cassie is a Jerk!" Kenny almost screamed.

The door flew open, Sasha dropped her phone, spinning round. Her eyes widened as she saw her dad standing, his eyes dark.

***********
Rolling her tongue over her lips, Sasha swallowed hard. The man walking into her room doesn't look like her father.

Williams shut the door behind him;resting his back on it, he stared at his daughter- the only odd figure in his even life.

"Hi?" Sasha said, feeling uncomfortable, he looked like some Assasin.

"you'll be going to Lagos with Kemi, get your things ready, you'll be leaving tomorrow" He said carelessly.

"Dad?"

"You heard me."

"I sure did! But I'm not going to Lagos, what about my school? My exams?" her voice was rising.

" she'd register you over there."

"But dad, its my life, my destiny-my future we're talking about here. Its just not fair." Her voice trembled

"Not only is it fair, its final!" Williams spat.

"But dad..." her voice trailed off.
Where was her strength, her venom? Why can't she say those words that hurt?

She watched her father leave the room. Snatching a pillow off her bed, she punched into it furiously.
"I hate The Williams!" She yelled.

"Lagos? I hate it too." she muttured falling into bed, not minding her school uniform and shoes.

*******
"Take care of yourselves." Barbra said as Kemi was taking her things outside.

Sasha emerged pulling her bags.
"I'll miss you." Kola said taking her bags from her.

No reply.

"Sassy?" he tried again.

"I'll miss you too pukeface" she didn't look at him.

Kola smiled"hmmn, take care"

"Aunty Kemi the driver is waiting." Cassie rushed in looking excited.

"Okay, lets go." Kemi picked up her bag.

"Bye Sasha..." Barbra said

"Bye Sasha" Williams and Kola echoed.

Sasha sat in the car, her lips pursed, they're happy she's leaving.
Finally, they separated her from Kenny, her best friend. She was yet to call him, she wasn't sure he knew about this development, she wondered how he would take it.

Biting her lower lip, she watched her family as they waved, they were sending her away.
Cassandra held a trimphant look- an ear to ear grin
********
Williams lay on his back, his eyes set on the ceiling. Did he make the right decision? She was his favourite, he loved her, but she would be holding hate for him.

"honey..." Barbra shook her husband.

"Yea..uhm..how'do..." He tried not to act startled.

"are you alright?"

"Yes, yea I'm." He sat up.

"Thinking about Sasha?" She asked

"yea.." he rubbed his head.

"I know she'll be fine."

"Yea." Williams nodded.

"The kids are waiting at he dinning." Barbra pulled him up.

"hy dad." Cassandra sang

"how are you all?" Williams managed to say.

"Fine" Kola replied
"Dad? He hesitated.

"Why did you send Sasha away? Its was so urgent...Dad its very bad, cos of alittle mistake she made?" tears filled his eyes.

Williams sighed letting his spoon drop

"Is that why you want to cry?" Cassandra eyed him.

"Cassie you caused it all, as if you don't do worse than that?" he retorted

"Watch you tongue!" Cassandra said infuriated.

"That's enough. Lets eat." Barbra said firmly.

"I'm not hungry." Kola pushed himself up.

"Fine, allow us eat in peace." Cassandra picked up her spoon.

"Sasha's gonna hate us all for this. Watchout!" Kola snapped his finger in emphasis.

"kola sit down" Williams found his voice.

"No dad." Kola walked away.

"Come back here!" Barbra yelled

"Let him be." williams raised his glass to his lips.

************
Slowly, Sasha a wiped herself dry with a towel. She was alone in the house, except the gateman, Kemi and her husband always came back late.

"Not a bad idea." she mused, feeling refreshed.
She've spent above a week in Lagos and loving it, her new school wasn't bad atall; she've made new friends. She hardly saw Kemi, they get to see only at night or on saturdays; staying with Kemi wasn't how she expected it to be.

She started to cream herself, whilst letting her mind wander to her family. She was yet to speak with her parents, she just won't pick their calls, Kemi has complained and had to let go. Speaking with Kola and Dapo wasn't frequent, Cassandra was out of chapter. Even Kenny, he hasn't called her neither had she, she knew he'd be angry, but it wasn't her fault.

"Sasha why don't you call him?" she asked herself.

Picking her phone she started to dail.

"please pick up nah" she pleaded as she dailled For the third.

Sighing heavily, she stared at the "no answer" displaying on her screen.

"Try again." she clasped the phone to her ear.
She was about giving up when she heard a noise at the other end.

"Hello?" Kenny said

"Hello? Hello? Kenny?...uhm..you're there?"

"Yea." came the dry reply.

"Kenny, I..uhm..I..how are you doing?" she wasn't sure on what to say.

"I'm not okay."

"Kenny, look..."her voice trailed off.

"Sasha? What you did wasn't fair atall...I thought we're friends keeping aside the fact that we're related." Kenny began, painfully.

"Kenny, ..I..." she gave up trying.

"You left for Lagos, without a word. You arrived Lagos and still couldn't call. If not for your dad who told us what happened." Kenny continued.

"He told you what happened?" Sasha asked

"Yea, how you pleaded with sister Kay to take you with her."

"Thats a lie!" Sasha almost screamed.
"Kenny, they bundled over to Lagos."

"hmm.."

"C'mon Kenny believe me, it wasn't my choice." she explained.
"it was a result of what happened that night."

"oh i see." Kenny said quitely

"you don't believe me?"

"I dunno" kenny sulked.

"C'mon Kenny..."

"Okay bestie, I do." Kenny said before the line went off.

"Hello? You're there?.....hello?"
she dailled again but she was told 'its not reachable at the moment'

"Its worth it then" she sighed.

Her father making up a story? What for? To save what?
She asked herself

**********
With her legs stretched out, Sasha lay on the rug, watching her favourite movie-chinese movie.
It was a saturday, no school. Even Kemi and her husband Tunji were at home too, doing whatever in their room. She always respected closed doors right from her home, she wouldn't like to see what surpasses her eyes.

"hit them real hard" she said excitedly as her hero was winning the Tai Chi competition in the movie.
The movie was getting interesting and action filled when she heard some muffled voices, quickly she lowered the volume on impulse.
The voices were loud and clear, Kemi's voice was rising, whileTunji was trying to calm her down.

Sasha tiptoed to the door, pinning her ear to the keyhole.

"You have to calm down Kemi." Tunji pleaded

"Stop asking me to calm down!" Kemi snapped.

"You just keep hurting me, and at the end you'll apologise." Kemi added tearfully.

"But what have I done?" Tunji demanded.

" do you have to tell me whenever your friends give birth? You're just reminding me of my inability to give you a child after five years!" Kemi squealed.

"You're taking this too far! I just told you a friend's wife gave birth and you're reading meanings into my words." Tunji was loosing his patience.

"I don't need your explanation, Tunji you're heartless." Kemi said amidst sobs.

"okay, Baby, I'm sorry, okay?" Tunji pleaded.

"Take your hands off me" Kemi screamed.

"Okay" Tunji sighed picking up his keys.

Sasha was so engrossed that she didn't know when Tunji opened the door.

"Oh..ohm..uhm..hi....I...uhm...hello?" Sasha stammered under Tunji's piercing gaze.

"You need anything?" He asked.

"No..yes..yes...no"

"You were eavesdropping?" Tunji raised an eyebrow.

"No Uncle Teejay." She denied.

"Okay, fine , I'm going out," he walked past her.

"You didn't hear anything, did you?" Kemi said from within.

"No ma!" Sasha peeped into the room.

"Then get your bum outta here!" Kemi snapped her eyes red and bulging.

Sasha fled to her room.

Tnx @ Sis HBG, I'll modify 'em.

Chistar, I'll check it out, tnx

Hahahaha,Sasha olofofo

#winks# @ Candis.

**********
Standing by the fridge in the kitchen, Sasha downed her second glass of cocoa. She pulled out a pack of cookies and started munching- raiding the fridge was a hobby, so far the fridge contains anything edible.

She scooped some more bournvita into her glass, poured iced cold water into it, before lifting it to her lips.

"yummy" she smacked her lips.

She had better filled her stomach properly- she thought, because there isn't any sign of dinner forth coming.
Kemi was yet to come out of her room after the quarell that afternoon. Tunji too wasn't back, perhaps he's scared of Kemi's tongue-lashing.

Sasha stuffed more cookies to her already filled mouth as she weighed all she heard that afternoon. She never knew couples quarell behind closed doors, she thought a closed door signifies a "couples romantic time out".

She rolled her eyes, drinking more cocoa. She cared less.
She imagined her mother screaming at her dad in their room, she chuckled, that wasn't something to wish for.

A loud knock on the front door interrupted her thoughts. Quickly she pushed her glass and cookies away, wiping her mouth with her dress she ran out of the kitchen.
It might be Tunji, she would like to see the depressed look on his face.

"Hold on." she squealed as the knock came again.

Snatching the door, she froze, her smile faded, not who she expected to see.

A woman in her early fourties stood before her, holding a big handbag and a suitcase in the other. She might be one of Kemi's friends..Sasha mused.

"why are you staring at me that way? Have you lost your manners or something?" the Lady snapped.

Sasha grimaced, manners?
"How may I help you?"

"how may you help me?" the lady shrieked.
"Wonderful!"

"Look, Lady, if you came to see Kemi; she's not in the mood to see you, and if you came to see Tunji; I'm sorry he's not around." Sasha explained carelessly.

"Are outta your mind?" The woman's voice was rising.

Sasha drew a long hiss before slamming the door shut.
"Rubbish." she mused. Why can't some elderly people respect themselves?

"Who was that?"

Sasha turned startled, only to see Kemi staring at her with red-bulging eyes.

"I...uhm..some old lady..." Sasha stuttered.
"I told her you and Uncle Teejay aint around." she added.

"So you slammed the door at her face?" Kemi asked walking towards the door.
"oh my good God!" she gasped
"Sasha how could you?" she shrieked.

"I'm so sorry sister Folake, I'm very sorry. Please come in." Kemi pleaded with her sister in-law.

"Don't mind Sasha, she's such an insolent weeny." she led her in.

Folake glared at Sasha as she walked into the room with an air of superiority
"This wimp slammed the door at my face, in my own brother's house!" she wagged a finger at the unrepentant Sasha, adding stress to the word "Brother"

"Like I said, I'm so sorry sister folake. Sasha you must apologise to her, she's Tunji's sister." Kemi managed to say.

"Sorry." Sasha said bluntly

"Keep your sorry to yourself!" Folake shot at her.

"Errm... Sister mi, why don't you run a bath while I set the table for dinner." Kemi suggested, trying desperately to appease her sister in-law.

"Yea sure." Folake replied still looking irritated.

Kemi led the way to the guest room still murmuring some apologies.

"Nonsense!" Sasha hissed. The fact that she was Tunji's sister does not give her the right to call her a mannerless girl.
She was still musing and hissing when she felt a hand tug on her cheek.

Kemi pulled her towards the kitchen still tugging at her cheek.

"Aunty Kay, stop it, Its painful!" Sasha protested.

"Shut Up!" Kemi pulled her ears again.
"Don't you know who she is? Ehn? Sasha Williams tell me?" Kemi said fiercely.

"I don't care whoever she is, she called me a mannerless girl." Sasha folded her arms across her chest.

"this is a warning, don't you ever treat my guests that way, don't you know this single action of yours can land me in a divorce?" Kemi queried.

Sasha rolled her eyes- who cares?

"If you don't behave yourself, I'll send you back to your parents ."

"I never wanted to come to Lagos anyway" Sasha grunted.

"Who are you talking back at?Me?"
Kemi asked removing her slippers.

"Wait for me! Omo Jati Jati." she chased after the fleeing Sasha.

**********
Folake cleared her throat repeatedly, as the dinning was filled with noise of spoons and forks clashing with plates.
She was enjoying the meal but the presence of the teenage girl sitting before her was irritating.
She never liked Kemi too, so hating on Kemi's sister was normal to her. She wondered how her brother would stay put with a barren woman for five years.

"Uncle Teejay, please pass me the salt." Sasha said, clearly showing she was enjoying the meal.

Folake drew a long hiss, drawing attention to herself.
"Are you okay?" Tunji asked mouthful. Personally, he thanked God for Folake's arrival, Kemi wouldn't have cooked for the next few weeks; so it was-each time thay had a slight quarell.

"I'm okay," Folake replied.

"You don't look okay ma'am." Sasha chirped, with her eyes on her plate.


Folake was about to snap at her when Tunji said
"Yea, or you aren't enjoying the meal?"

"The food is okay but.."Folake decided to use that opportunity to show Kemi she was still the boss.

Kemi looked up, her spoon held halfway to her mouth,she knew it, she expected it, her sister in-law would always pick on her.

"But, it tastes half-done, like some part still tasting raw" folake concluded.

Kemi sighed, that was a bit light.

Sasha dropped her spoon, glanced at Kemi, then at Tunji, she wasn't sure they heard that 'Old-lady' speak, what's with the neutral looks on their faces?

"Well ma'am" Sasha cleared her throat
"Any food that becomes softer than this isn't good to the eyes not to talk more of the stomach"

Kemi looked up sharply, glaring at Sasha, the girl should shut up!

"You don't need to point that out to me!" Folake retorted.

"Yea...true." Sasha spooned more food to her mouth.
"Its just that, you have to take whatever you're given, whenever you are not in your own house. When you're a visitor, act like one, at least to show you've got manners." Sasha said carelessly.

"Sasha!" Kemi shrieked.

"Sasha please get us some more beef from the kitchen." Tunji said quickly, he's so much pleased.
Sasha wasn't like Kemi who take advantage of the weak, she aims for the strong like her.

"Alright." Sasha laughed to the kitchen. While Folake stared at her horrified.

"Unbelievable!" Folake found her voice.
"I've never been insulted this way all my life! Tunji did you hear that?" she squealed.

Tunji simply resumed eating his food.

"I'm so upset, I've lost my appetite." Folake rose to her feet.

You never had one! Tunji wanted to voice out as he watched his sister scamper out of the dinning section- fuming. He loved his wife, his marriage-and no unmarried sister of his, should be a pest.

"Sister Folake.." Kemi rose to her feet.

"Sit down!" Tunji pulled her back.

"can't you see that..."

"Shhhhh....." Tunji hushed her.

"The beef..-sir." sasha emerged from the kitchen.

"Thanks." Tunji picked a piece, directing his hands toward Kemi's lips.

Irritated, she slapped his hands off.

"You don't have to do that, while your sister is watching." Tunji pointed out.

"I could excuse you guys...you know." Sasha winked at Kemi.

"Omo Jati Jati." Kemi spat out.

"I told you screaming isn't good for your health." Tunji said, turning her to face him.

"Leave me!" Kemi protested.

"I can never." her muttered against her lips. He missed those lips.....
*********

***********
Kemi dropped her bag on a settee, tucking in her shirt, same time trying to wear her jacket. She was running late for work, the night was tiring, courtesy of Tunji.
They made it up again, she would forever love that man.

"Sasha!" she called out.
No reply

"Sasha Williams!"

"Mah!" Sasha emerged carrying her books.
"Gumorrin!"

"I'm running late for work." Kemi began.

"that's no news, I'm running late for school too." Sasha replied.

"Your pocket money and your transport fare are on my dresser.." Kemi continued ignoring her sisters comment.

"The one in your room or the master bedroom?" Sasha asked.

"make sure you board the cab of gentlemen okay?" Kemi adviced ignoring the question.
"Meanwhile,..." she pulled Sasha to herself
"Sister Folake is in...Sasha please, I beg you, steer clear, please, no retorting, no grimacing.."

"I've heard." Sasha cut in.

"bye." Kemi snatched her bag from the settee.

"Aunty Kay?"

"Yes?" Kemi replied impatiently heading to the exit.

"Kenny and Kola said...They said I should tell you..." Sasha ran after her.

"tell me what?" Kemi half walked, half-ran to her car.

"They'll be coming to Lagos this weekend, for the Easter." Sasha caught up with her.

Kemi shook her head, Kenny and Sasha meeting again? That combination wasn't good atall.
"So what did you tell them?" She ignited her car.

"I said they could come, since there are enough rooms to contain them and enough food to feed them."

"Good, so why telling me now?" Kemi said swallowing the laughter bubbling up in her.

"Just to inform the owners of the house." Sasha replied.

Without a word, Kemi reversed her car and sped towards the gate.

Sasha waved, happy that Kemi was cool with her info. She've missed Kenny alot, her twin from a differnt mother. She shook her head walking back to the main building to pick her books and pocket money.

"I thought you all left the house without a word." Folake said sipping from a mug of steaming coffee; clad in her nightie

"No" Sasha replied walking straight to her sister's bedroom.

"Bye." she said as she walked towards the exit.

"Eeerr, whatchamacallit....errm....Natasha right?" Folake's voice stopped her.

"Sasha." Sasha corrected her irritated.

"do you know Lagos very well...errm..I mean...you know places?" Folake asked.

"Yea." Sasha almost screamed.

"You don't mind accompanying me to see a friend this evening?"

I knew it! Sasha almost said, else why would her 'old-lady' be acting so nice.

"Dunno, I'll ask my sister first." Sasha replied, leaving the the house as fast as her legs would carry her.

Folake stared at the door and sighed, at least she tried. Her aim to stop being an enemy with Sasha was working out. So far she wanted to stay in that house for more days, she can't survive under Sasha's hatred. She must admit, the girl was more than her.

***********
Barbra grinned, as her son danced into the living room, he looked so excited-like he won a lottery.

"Daddy...mummy...Cassie...you'll all soon miss me..." Kola sang matching his dance steps.

"so what's up?" Cassandra asked, her eyes glued to her phone's screen.

"You'll miss me o!" Kola slumped beside his father.

"Tell me." Williams enquired.

"Sasha just called, and guess what? Aunty Kemi said I and Kenny could come over!" Kola hugged his father excited.

"Wow..so did she ask after us?" Barbra asked. The last time she spoke to her daughter was when she left for Lagos.

"Yea, she sends her regards." Kola replied catching his breathe.

"I guess she didn't include my name." Cassandra looked up.

"Why say so?" Kola enquired.

"she hardly picks my calls." Cassandra replied pained. Deep within her she still loved her sister.

Same here, Williams almost voiced out. He had called his daughter countless times, but she never picked. He only resolved asking after her from Kemi.

"You caused it yourself, you made her hate you." Kola said accusingly.

"Whatever." Cassandra rolled her eyes.

"Maaamiii" Kola cooed cuddling his mother.

"Kola leave me! You're no longer a kid" Barbra slapped his hands away.

"Leave my wife alone for me." Williams pushed Kola away.

"No she's my mother." Kola protested in a childish voice.

"Shameless small man, stop touching my wife jor!" Williams laughed, glad for the change of topic.

"Kola leave his wife nah!" Cassandra joined.

"mummy you see ko?" Kola pouted.

"Ah ahn! Leave my son alone for me o, he's my last born o, omo daada" Barbra crooned,

"Ehen! Me I'm not omo daada abi?" Cassandra laughed.

"Nobody is like my last born o." Barbra, lifted Kola to her laps.

"Ehn ehn! What about me?" Cassandra rushed to secure her own position, same time colliding into her father who was on the same mission.

They all fell on the rug, laughing out loud.

***********

"So this your friend we're going to see, is he married?" Sasha asked Folake as they hailed a taxi.

"Yea, we agreed to meet in Lagos, we'll be travelling to Paris this weekend." Folake explained.

"Hmm" Sasha was engrossed in her own thoughts, having Kenny around her was like having her other half.

"Madam, you say First villa chic'n'beef koh?" the taxi driver enquired.

"Yea"

"we don reach" he replied fitting taxi into the parking lot.

Sasha straightened her dress as they walked into the restaurant.
"What the heck! This man came with his son again?" Folake muttered looking disappointed.

At the far end, sat an elderly man with a young man in his mid twenties.
The elderly man rose to his feet as they approached him.

"Hy, how are you?" folake tried to sound casual.

The young man looked up to shake her hands, he waved at Sasha only to look back at her again, his face registering recognition.

"Sasha?" Micheal asked in disbelief

"Mike?" Sasha flew into his arms.

"Oh my God! is this you?" Micheal looked her over.

"What are you doing here?" they both chorused before hugging each other.

"Dad...she's my friend-portharcourt." Micheal told his father who was just staring

"Yea.." Sasha smiled at Folake.

"Come..come...you must tell me what happened." Micheal led her to a different table.

"Wow, what luck." Mr Amaechi sighed, sitting down.

Folake sat too, very happy she brought Sasha along. Who would believe Sasha would take Mike out of her sight.

"so how is it gonna be like?" Folake asked.

"Yea, we'll be travelling this weekend."
Amaechi smiled.

"Oh my God!" Folake almost screamed.
Her dream of a most romantic weekend with her lover was unfolding.

At their table, Sasha and Micheal engaged each other in a more serious discussion, she told him about her journey to lagos. He sympathized with her.

"So who's she to you?" Mike gestured towards Folake.

"Kemi's sister-inlaw, who's she to your dad?" Sasha asked

"He said, she's his business client, but I don't think so." Micheal replied.
"I don't think so too." Sasha grimaced

"That why mum asked me to come with dad." Micheal explained shaking his head.

Sasha felt sorry for him.

"I heard, they'll be travelling this weekend to paris." Sasha chirped.

"Yea, I'll be going with them" Micheal announced.

"hey..we can soil their plans, stop the journey or make it miserable." Sasha suggested

"No..."

"Never mind leave the job to me!" Sasha cut him short, her eyes glinting.

Micheal laughed taking her hands in his,
"I missed you."

"Same here." Sasha laughed.
