ME: (i smiled) the answer you are expecting can be hard to tell someone to his face.
FANCY: that whys i came to you.pls be sincener about it.
ME: ok let put this way.no matter what you do,how well you behave,how good you are to people,everybody will not like you. There must always be hater.
FANCY: really smart girl.(moved closer to me and stared into my eyes)ok you what do hate about my lifestyle. Cause from day one it look you have been avoiding me
ME: me? (I laughed a little) ok if you ask.i am not so much of an outspoken girl and i hate spotlights and attention.so my view is,being around somelike you pulls me out to that spotlight.

we both burst out in laughter. It was really cool sitting and chating with him. I felt more save than i had felt in my who life life.

CHAPTER 47

THE PREVIOUS DAY

we arrived at the park and sort after the bus heading to our route, as luck might have it we found a bus which happens to be the last bus for those traveling in the morning. it was remaining only two sits, one at the back and another by the door. my mom paid the necessary fares and we boarded it with my mom sitting at the back and me sitting by the door. we stayed for a long time even after the bus was full. passengers were shouting at the driver who was busy arguing with some agbero men over some amount of money. after several hours he finally entered the driver's sit and moved the bus. we had barely moved for 10 minutes when my phone started beeping. I looked into the screen and saw the name my sister on the screen which was the name I used in saving Sarah number.

ME: hello dear
SARAH: ( forming angry) hello dear? really hello dear. I called you this morning only for you to hang up on me and never even bother to called back.
ME: am really sorry. mom made me do it. so believe me if I hadn't hang up, she might have even beaten me up.

I heard her laughing at the other side

SARAH: mom's girl. where are you? is noisy over there.
ME: am heading to that place I told you about.
SARAH: really? my dear is a good thing. no matter what happened in the past ,just remember it is your root, they are your family and whether you like it or not in the nearest future you would need them.
ME: (I exhaled) let's just see how it all goes down today. by the way have been able to talk to morgan. and find out what is happening with him.
SARAH: Jenny am tired, he grew worse this morning. his acting strange and is often absent minded.
ME: ever since that meeting with his father has he ever acted cold towards you.
SARAH: no but he have been more angry and snap at everyone at the slightest mistake.
ME: has he snapped at you,
SARAH: yeah but he apologised almost immediately. why do you ask.
ME: I don't think their meeting has anything to do with you.
SARAH: how do you know or are you now a seer. she laughed.
ME: OK look at it this way, morgan love's you, that much i know, so do think he would tell his dad about what transpired between us and oserewenda at this early Bud of your relationship knowing that it could destroy it all. I don't think he is that foolish, so apart from that I don't see the reason his dad would have to hate you.
SARAH: OK, but am scared, I don't want to loss him
ME: relax he would come around, just keep a cool head cause I know you, because of your temperament ,you can destroy it all. just don't hurt that guy

SARAH: (she laughed into the phone), I really missed this, I missed you sister and when you get back, we have many things we need to caught up on.

OK I need to go see you when I get back. I said then I hanged up.

I looked out the window discovered that we were in Aba abia state, the road was really busy, hucker with different wares were bumping against moving vehicles trying to sale their wares. I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and discover that I was yet to have my breakfast. so I bought four packs of gala sausage rolls with two pet bottle malt. I stretched and gave mom two gala and one of the malt then I settled to enjoy my. I was just having my snacks not bothering about what await ahead, then I brought out my headset and started playing a slow music from my phone.

after about 2 hours the bus finally came to a stop at junction they call naze junction, and we alighted from the bus, and I followed my mom walking behind her as we crossed the road, on the other side my mom flagged down a keke nape and we boarded it, the keke was playing fancy's song from his latest album scar

I paid less attention to the song but only let the voice flow through me. I was so loSt that I didn't know that tears have started rolling down my face, I was only brought back to my senses when I felt a warm liquid on the back of my Palm. fastly I wiped my eyes with my thumb and pointer finger before anyone would notice the mess am making of myself .

when we got to a particular area, it was as if it was a different road from the one we were on for some minutes now. cause the road was splited into double lanes and tarred with street lights at both sides of the road. there is no hiding the fact that an important personality lives somewhere around here. after few more seconds we stop and Started walking . we walked till we got to mansion with giant gate.

aren't we there yet, I asked. over there mom replied pointing at that mansion. that used to be our compound but it have been occupied and built on by your uncle who was the former local government chairman of this place.

at the sight of the gate, I started to feel strange, I felt like to stop, turn around and run away without looking back. but I guess since I was here I would see it all.

gradually, we got to the gate, mom pressed the intercom on the side of the gate. after some few seconds, we heard someone speak through the intercom English with an Hausa accent. "kai na who I be" "Mrs appolonia okeke looking for Mr Eduardo Okeke" my mom replied
" I dey look am for my oga, I get affointement,cause if I no hole am for my affointment card, whalai I no go open am for this gate I dey hear ram kwoo.

I couldn't but laugh at the the gateman, "my friend Will you stop that nonsense and run up and tell Eduardo that am here" my mom shouted at the man through the intercom. "Kai madam whalai I no be am for houseboy way I go they shout for me. me kwoo na C.S.O general for this office, so I no go Coom here I go come set shout anyhow . the gate man

it was funny, the drama going on,but I know my mom was really pissed. what type of nonsense is this my mom said while looking for her phone in her handbag. she was still searching for it when we had a deep voice. "Wasuf what is going on there, and who are those outside the gate". the voice asked. uga!! naa one woma ,I call am for my name affolonia, na him i say I dey find am for uga. he replied . Appolonia he said, let her in immediately.

he opened the gate and we walked in .I was marveled on the sight before me. I never believed any of my family members was this Rich yet I lived so many years in abject poverty where my mom had to toil and suffer to see me through my ups and down, I looked around everywhere looked like Paradise that one do see in Bible films and books. the compound looked so beautiful but looking around was not why I was here so I had to control myself and walked quickly behind mom as we were escorted into the living room by a housekeeper who came to welcome us.

I walked quietly but magestically and counting my steps and carrying myself like a princess.

walking into the living room, many elderly men were already sited. I greet you my husbands my mom said bending her knee a little bit, then she turned and looked at me expecting me to at least greet them but my eyes were ease where on a particular picture of a Lady hanged on the wall. the Lady in the pix looked excessively familiar, I could swear it was her,I mean how could I forget that face all we have been through but since I wasn't sure I kept my cool even though I was worried to my bones. my mom touched me I immediately came back and greeted them bending my knees too. then the unexpected happened. a sick older age man came in help by who I never expected to see. there and then my fear was confirmed

CHAPTER 48

my brother was my Best friend, we practically share everything together. we were like bread and butter, fork and knife, we have been through the Good times and hard times together, .

we were still kids when our father fall from a palm tree and died few days letter living us with a mother who was bed ridden as a result of stroke, we fought through the challenges as we did everything ranging from serving mansion to working on other peoples farm and any other thing that can put food on the table and spare US a little money to take care of our sick mom .

about a Year later after the death of our father, our mother sickness grew worse and eventually she died but before she died, she called us to her bedside and wept a few moment then looked at us and said


*********MAMA SPEECH *******

my children, am proud of you, today I weep not because you failed but because I failed to be a mother, I failed to act as a mother,I failed because I might not be around to norture and lead you through the right path, I failed because I might not be able to watch you boys grow into a fine young men you would become someday. I might not be able to watch you get married and have your own kids. so children forgive your poor sick mother, I never wished for such things for my boys, when you boys were brought to me, it was the happiest day of our life, your father even though we had nothing threw a small lavish party with many Palm wind and Bush meat he caught. so you see my children, we had great plans for you boy but ill luck stroke, I fail sick,and unfortunately your father passed away but my children hold on, when life get hard and unbearable, I want you to find comfort on the shoulders of each other , I might not be around for long but have faith in each other if you stick together, there is nothing you cannot conquer. my children what am saying is never let anything come between you be it money, land and most expectially women. the day you start listening to an evil words from a woman, that day you have forfeited your life and starting that day, you life would be disarranged leaving it worthless and wasted.

my children even if I leave this world today, be rest assured that my spirit would always be with you to guide and protect you. and my prayer is that you Will never fail your children the way we failed, you would live a strong and healthy life to watch them grow into adults,get married someday, and bear their own kids.

thank you my children, for standing for your sick mother, thank you for.........she burst into tears.

those were mother's last speech before she dead two days later in her sleep. we stick to those words, my elder brother became my father, brother and best friend. life became hard and unbearable, no one wanted to help, in fact people started to despise us avoiding communication with us as if we were lepers. even at that, we supported and encouraged each other while hoping for better days to come.after many months nothing changed, my brother made a decision to go learn capitery and urged me to go back to school.

I went back to school while my brother worked and learnt capitary from a kind old man.from there he was able to make and save money from little repires which he used to finance my education. after about six months, he became perfect in making stools, benches and tables but he kept staying with the man even when the man advice him to go start up his. . after about a year , the old man became older, weak and sick, he couldn't continue,he called my brother, blessed, gave him the shop then retaired and went back to Ngwuta his village.

my brother started working in the shop as the owner, that was around the same time I got admission to study architecture. he supported me all the way. his business started growing as he became known in the neighborhood by market women and men. gradually he diverted into furniture making. he was getting grounds everyday, more customers everyday then one day our family story changed. the government built a modern school in the community and my brother received the contract worth 10 million to build and supply 200 pieces of chairs tables and school desk. that was how my family left poverty. I graduated and with still the help of my brother I rented a small space which I used as my office then. it started going well for us. we became even closer to each other,we lived together, ate together, go to the tennis and golf club together. we reveal our secrets to each other and kept each other secrets.

after about two years, my brother came to me that he had found a woman and he wanted to marry her. I was happy for him and supported him all the way . after a few months, he married this woman(pointing at my mom) that marriage brought so much joy to us cause our family just got bigger. my brother and his wife were love birds, they played on the dinner table with food even with me present. I would laugh and tease them and they would in turn tont me to wait till I start using walking stick before I get married. we were one big happy family no one eat without seeing the other it got to a point that even when I found an apartment and wanted to leave, my brother and his wife practically begged me to wait at least till I get married. I still moved out but couldn't remember how many times I slept in my apartment in a month.

after about five years after their marriage I moved out and got married. and that became the begining of the end for me. the woman brainwashed me,changed my life and destroyed everything around me

with the assistance of who my eyes were fixed on all this while and the Lady beside him he adjusted himself,faced down and exhaled. when he looked up to continue, his eyes were red and one could notice the traces of tears around them.

I failed and disappointed my mother because I started listening to the bad advise my wife started giving. she started making feel cheated on by my brother. the love I shared with my brother started demilishing and gradually my brother started becoming biggest enemy.


As at then my brother had a problem, he have been married for good nine years without a single heir.even though I not all that in good terms with him, I was still worried for him.so I met with some of our family elders and with their support we pressured him to take another wife which he never did. so I started plotting a way to get him in tangle with another woman. this meeting today is because of that which was Done 29 years ago.

all this while, my brain was running fast, trying to process large amount of files at the same time. trying to produce answers to different questions at the same time. what is the person in the picture connection with this my so called family members, why is the young man who I have been staring at for Long here, what business does he have here, what transpired 29 years ago and so many other question.

my head was on fire, all the questions in my head was like puzzle and the worst case scenero was that I couldn't solve them at least not right away cause there are gaps in the questions that needed to be filled. no Matter how hard I thought I couldn't complete and solve the puzzle .

our wife, am sorry you have to hear this now. this young man here MORGAN here is your husband's biological son.

SARAH / ME/MOM: (in unionism) what!!!
