Someone has lost her patience. As the saying goes, keep your friends close but your enemy closer.

@d9ty7 are you a Muslim?

Anita is now reasoning like a human being now, but the outcome of what she has dome would be disastrous, coupled with the last advice she recieved from Dr. Jane, she miqht be fooled into it, plus that crocodile tears from that de.vil who crashed her marriage. Oh God, help her to the right thing.


And at that moment when you are yabing a colleague, some one whom you never expected fires you one and a third party uses the final bullet to distrupt your bein. Lol
Nice scene d9t97, it just shows you are a bad boy back then.

__________________________________________

After the short introduction of Labake to her father, Serena hopped into the car and sat on the passenger seat. She brought out her almost broken phone and started playing game, while she inserted her USD card into the car's stereo player and reduced the volume to the barest minimum.
As she played with her phone, she allowed the music to flow into her head and also left a listening hear to the arguement her father was having with his new found friend. All she understood from their talks was, 'politics', 'election', 'President Jonathan,' 'PDP.' 'Buhari' and 'APC.'
She listened as old men not less than fifty years argued back and forth. Talking about their encounter with a certain politician in 1993 after the June 12 election. She knew her father was no good politician, but she loved how he expertly analysed the countries economy and she was proud of him. Stephanie's mum was not left out, even though the basis of her argument was that Nigerian politicians have abandoned God in their dealings.
And slowly as more candidates trooped out, the men left one after the other to drive their wards home.
"Can I have your card?" She had heard the question many a times from her father. She had never seen a day that her father would return home with no new card.
"My car is parked over there." One of the men replied.
"My daughter will follow you to get it." Mr Oluwole Thomas said loud enough that Serena need not to be told what was expected of her. She slowly alighted from the car and followed the man at a distance.
"How was the exam?" The man asked when he had given her the card.
"Great." She replied.
"Your dad is a great person." He heard the man say before he entered his car and for the first time she was standing very close to a Mercedez G-wagon. No way, this man is richer than her father. But hey! Dad doesn't waste money on cars, she had concluded.
"You look pretty." A female voice called from the backseat of the car, but she couldn't get to look at her properly before the car zoomed off, so she just waved.
"Who are we waiting for?" She asked angrily as she shut the car door.
"Nobody, but you." Her father replied.
"What about Steph..." Her voice trailed off when she saw her through the rear mirror seated comfortably at the backseat with her mother.
"Like you cared about my well being. You left me all to myself after the exam." Stephanie replied.
"You don't deserve my care." Serena replied a bit angry as her father drove out of the ICT center.
"We shall see." Stephanie said jokingly, followed by a plastic laugh. The two adults in the car also joined in the laughter much to Serena's annoyance.
"Can't you people notice the friction between us? Can't you see that we are not cool with each other?" She asked herself angrily.
Then Stephanie's voice came again as she sang along with the song being played on the car stereo. She his angrily, thrust her hand forward and removed her memory card adapter.
"Leave it. I am enjoying the songs." Her father said without looking at her.
She reluctantly reinserted the adapter and the song resumed. Her eyes fell on the rear mirror once again and caught Stephanie growling at her with tongue out and an expression full of mockery.
"So, Madam, how do you intend to get your car out of here?" Her father asked calmly as he drove pass Stephanie mum's car.
"I'll call a mechanic to come fix it." she replied.
"How about if I call mine to fix it? I mean, he is a specialist in your type of car. He'll fix it within an hour and bring it home for you."
Why the sudden nice attitude? Was the question on her mind after they had dropped Stephanie and her Mum close to their house and as they head home she couldn't help but stare at her father with the side of her eyes.
"Why are you staring at me?" He asked.
"I am not." She replied and quickly faced the window.
"You were. You can't help but notice how handsome your dad has become. Stop drooling, I am married." He said playfully as he brought the car to a halt the moment the traffic light turned red.
"Dad! I wasn't drooling. I was just...." She kept quiet when she saw the mockery smile on her father's face. There is no point arguing. "But, did he just say he is married? Married to who? Jesus? Or Mary?" She smiled and the next minute, the light turned red and her father stepped on the gas.
Five minutes later, her father honked outside the gate, only for the gateman to come outside to meet him.
"Sir, you can't drive in." The man said.
"Why?"
"The compound is filled with cars." He explained.
Then his eyes fell on the car which Davies drove to work in the morning? Outside the compound.
"What's going on?" He asked himself as he parked properly behind Davies car and followed Serena into the compound.

You've never been in such situation before? They would have finalised in you absence, so by the time you join them for the meeting, they'll just give you their verdict.

__________________________________________

The moment he entered the compound, he could guess the set of people he would be meeting inside his living room. His elder brother's Mercedez benz was parked just a few steps away from the front door, a black coloured Honda CRV was parked beside the Mercedez while his younger brother Collin's car was parked in a way, such that its side was facing the first two car's rear. He could guess that Pa Patrick would be in the living room, the owner of the Honder CRV, he couldn't say while he was dead sure that Collins would be in there with Jane. Afterall, they had grown up together and they move about together to an extent that, one begin to doubt if Jane was married to Collins or her husband.
"I'll enter through the kitchen." Serena said as soon as they got to the entrance.
"You won't say hi to them?" Her father asked.
She reluctantly followed her father into the living room.
"Ah ah. They are here finally, husband and wife." An elderly woman said.
"Mama Londoner. Good afternoon ma." Oluwole prostrated to an extent that his chest was almost touching the ground.
Serena was suprised to see her father respect someone that much. Even though she had never met the woman, Mama Londoner in person, but she hadspoken with her on phone and from what she gathered, the old lady was her paternal grandmother's twin sister, which means, she was Oluwole aunty and Oluwole her nephew.
"When did you return into the country?" Oluwole asked as he sat down beside his Aunty.
"I returned last week and believe me, I planned visiting you the day I arrived, but Patrick said I should hold on, and here I am today." The old lady explained.
"Mama, you should have called me since then, at least I would have visited you at home and also bring your children along. You don't know any of them do you?"
"I know this one. This rude boy." She said pointing to Davies. "I don't know his younger brother and this young lady here." She said referring to Nathan and Serena. She beckoned on Serena to come closer.
"How are you my daughter. You look gorgeous, hope boys have not been coming here to disturb you?" She asked and Serena blushed.
"Stand up, let me see my girl. Turn around."
"Mama Londoner, you still haven't changed."
Even though Oluwole had forgotten about his siblings, since he didn't meet them in the living room, he concluded that they were somewhere having a meeting and just when he wanted to ask about them, Patrick walked out and his younger ones followed.
After exchanging pleasantries with them, they all sat down in silence, even though Mama Londoner was still whispering something into Serena's ear, much to Collin's annoyance. The reason for his anger, he couldn't say, maybe because he hated Serena, the same way he despised her mother or because he didn't like the way she got on very well with Mama Londoner.
"Let the children excuse us." He said, anger evident in his tone.
"Children? These ones are not children, they are grown up. Come to London and see their mates and how they move about." Mama Londoner replied.
"But this is a gathering involving adults. They should be in their rooms." Collins still protested.
"Agreed, but this one who is already running his father's company is a kid abi? Even you, Collins, you are a kid to your siblings. Just sit down and lets discuss things." Mama Londoner replied him.
Silence enveloped the room and they all looked at each other.
"Jane, can you tell this honourable house why we are here." Patrick said and just as if everything has been planned, Jane rose up, greeted everyone present and stated their reason for coming.
Wole wanted to talk, but a wave of hand from Patrick told him to keep quiet.
"Mama, what do you have to say?" Patrick asked.
"I don't have much to say, afterall, this issue concern Wole a lot, as well as his children, we need their opinion as to what they think should be the next step."
"Thank you mama. I married Anita legally, in the face of law, I gave her the ring, and I have honourably collected the ring in the face of the law. And by the way Uncle, did you ask Jane the role she played during the divorce process? She was in my office late last week asking me to give love a second chance. Why the sudden change of heart? Must I have Anita back in this house? Is she not happy wherever she she is? Uncle, please, you were not around when these things happened, you probably would advice me against going to court for divorce. You would by yourself chase Anita out of theis house."
