EPISODE 14

Bola looked from her mum to her dad and back to Joy. Were they all crazy?, what type of silly joke was that?, did they all plan this together?. Maybe her mother got the hint that Richard was going to propose to her that very day so they decided to act a drama tonight to surprise her too and so far they were acting it well.
"Mum, please enough of this drama, Joy go to your room now"
Joy immediately obeyed her mother and went into her room leaving her mum and her grandparents in the sitting Room.
"Sit Down please" her mother said calmly.
''OK ma, I really need to know the reason for this drama''
'' Deep from your heart, Do you really know who that guy is?" started her father.
"Dad, what is this all about, But you've always liked Richard, you've never for once complained about him, why this sudden outburst?"
"Bola, I need you to give me a definite answer"
"Well, it actually depends on what you mean by knowing him"
"Stop playing on my intelligence daughter!" Her father's voice was beginning to rise but he quickly cautioned himself.
This scared Bola a bit because her father hardly raises his voice on her, besides, he has a way of bringing her back to her senses. She respects him so much.
" But dad, I love him and that is what matters most"
"Is your mind truly in tune with your emotion" Her mum cuts in
"mum, what is the correlation between mind, emotion and Love?, How does that affect my marriage to Richard?"
"You see my dear, Love is not all about your emotion, its not all about what you feel, feelings alone cannot build up a good home, your emotional feeling might be due to obsession, what does your inner man say to this? Is your mind at peace with you marrying Richard? Have you even taken your time to seek the face of God? to commit this Guy into the hands of God?"
"Is that why you do not want me to marry him?" Though she intended to sound strong and stubborn, her voice was giving her away. The issue of prayer raised by her mum had floored her and her conscience was pricking her once again. However, She decided that if her parents could not give her any solid reason not to marry Richard, she might not heed to what ever they were saying.
"What an elder sees while standing cannot be seen by a child even if he climbs a tree" Replied her father
"I do not see any cogent point from all you have stated but I will still think about it"
"Don't just think about it dear, pray about it tonight then tomorrow, we can talk better"
"OK mum," Bola replied while yawning
Even though Bola knew prayer was not in her agenda for the night because she felt so tired, she decided to promise her mum so that they will release her because she really needed to speak with Richard

When Bola left the presence of her parents and got to her room, she dialed Richards number and He picked it at the first ring.
"Hello angel" Richard said into the receiver
"Hi love, sleeping already?"
"I can't sleep, I am Just imagining you here by my side, I am really missing you here"
"Miss you too"
"Can we see tomorrow?" They both said this together and this even made them laugh
"Okay then, can I come and pick you?"
"No, I will come" Bola answered sharply
"Why? are your parents still mad at me"
"Sweetie, they were never mad at you, they were just worried about me, Don't mind them, when I am finally married, they will learn to accept that I am no longer their Baby"
This response gave Richard a feeling of relief
"Thanks dear, I love you than you can ever imagine"
"Love you too" Bola whispered
"Have you told your parents about my marriage proposal?"
Bola thought of the Best way to answer the question without raising further questions, so she did the smartest thing she could think of.
"What time will you close from church tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow is Saturday, Not Sunday" He noticed that she did not answer his question but decided not to probe further since she was coming to his place the next day, he will ask her then
"oh, I forgot"
"alright love, see you tomorrow"
"Love you, bye" And with that, they both hung up

Even though Mr and Mrs Adesida were scared of the dream, they decided not to fret but to take the issue to God in prayer.
The next morning, the family had a nice morning together, each not mentioning what happened the night before. After breakfast, Bola thanked her parents for their concern over her love life, She however promised that she was going to make the right decision but before concluding, she had to sort out some things with Richard to which her parents agreed.

When it was noon, she went to her fiance's place. When Richard saw her, he was so excited. They prepared a nice meal together as he had already give his workers that day off saying to himself that he wanted time alone with his fiancee. After the meal, Richard decided to ask if her parents knows about his proposal yet, but Bola was faster.
"There is a question I want to ask you Rich,"
"What is that"
"Though you told me your parents are dead, that your guardians treated you bad, what about the other members of your family and how come you are so rich at a very young age, considering the fact that you are not even from a wealthy background."
Richards body system changed and it even reflected in his face.

ezeyik, yea its short n m sorry for that. That's where episode 13 should end, hence the reason for being short. I will make episode 14 v.long to compliment this... BE ready for another round of suspense soon. Btw, Don't you think Bola's parent have their reason?

M SORRY THIS IS SHORT.... WILL MAKE UP FOR THIS SOON

EPISODE 13B

‘Could this be true?, Richard is asking me to marry him?’ Bola thought as tears streamed down her face. Then she replied, more like a whisper

“Yes Rich, Yes, I will marry you”

Richard felt relief surge through him. She said yes!. He mentally went crazy with Joy. He actually thought his plan tonight would be a waste, that she would reject him. That she would say she needed more time to get to know him more. But all his worries were unfounded.
He held her closer to himself and they shared a very hearty kiss.

…………………………………………………………………………………..

Bola’s family decided to pray for her safety since she has refused to pick her call though her mother knew that the dream meant something that might likely happen in future hence she determined in her heart to take the necessary steps with prayer.

It was late when Richard eventually dropped Bola at home though he had earlier suggested that she spent the night at his place but she refused saying that she did not inform her parents about that, besides; it was not right to start spending the night with him that early and with that, he agreed to drop her at home. When they got to her place, he went in with her to greet her parents before going home.
Bola’s parent’s were relieved to see that she came back home safely and her mother acted rather strangely towards Richard, he however thought that she acted that way because he brought her daughter home late. He then made a mental note to bring her home early whenever they went out till they were married.

Though Bola sensed the tension at home, she could not wait to share the good news with them and that she did when she came in after escorting Richard to his car.

“mum, dad, Joy, guess what?”
“What?” they all chorused
“Richard asked me to marry him”
Everybody kept quiet including Joy, this got Bola confused. Weren’t they happy for her?, she initially thought her mother would jump up or hug her or do something to show that she was happy for her. Her father just sat there starring at her. And Joy, the girl didn’t even move at all. Then finally…..

“You can’t marry Richard” her mother said.

EPISODE 11a

Richard was anxious, what if Bola rejects him?, What if she just walks out on him?, what if she tells him that the relationship is too young? Or what if she slaps him, tell him she does not love him and leave?. He was still ruminating on these things when his phone alerted him of a message.

“We are outside sir, should I bring her in?’

Meanwhile, Bola was already critically asking the driver series of questions when he wouldn’t let her get out of the car.

“What am I doing here?, I thought we were to meet at his house, he is not even picking is calls, Don’t tell me both of you are trying to play a prank on me” bola kept asking with her temper rising by the minute

‘No, don’t’ he replied the message.

Immediately, two beautiful ladies appeared, opened the door for her, told her Mr Richard was already expecting her, gave her no room to complain and politely ushered her to the reserved area where Richard was waiting.
While Bola was following the ladies, her thoughts raised to several things that might be happening, maybe Richard wanted to tell her something terrible; that was why she did not really create a scene with the ladies who told her Mr Richard was waiting for her, maybe that is why he has been avoiding her since the beginning of the day pretending to have a meeting.
When they got to the exquisite part of the hotel where Richard was, the ladies left, leaving Richard and Bola alone.

Bola held her breath

This is paradise on earth she thought. She could not fathom what Richard was up to but she knew something was going on. All her initial furry fled away quickly and it was replaced with surprise.

“What is happening here” Bola asked surprised
“Hello sweetheart” Richard said as he moved close to her and planted a peck on her cheeks.

“Hi love,”
And so Richard led her towards the table where he explained to her that he Just felt like treating her to a special dinner.

“But, my love, Don’t you think this is Just too much?”

“Nothing is too much for you dear”

With this, they wined and dined. When the romantic moment seems for ever and Bola was already thinking that she had never seen a man as Romantic as Richard, He popped up the question he has been eager to ask her all evening

………………………………………………………………………………………………

When Bola left home, her parents and Joy sat in the sitting Room, watching the television but her mother-Mrs Adesida dozed off.

She tried rescuing the lady from the killer but the lady could not hear her voice. She was screaming at top voice, telling the lady to run towards the right but he lady neither saw nor hear her. Then the lady Ran towards the left and that was when the killer caught up with her for the third time and raised his machete. She didn’t want to see the horrible scene so she changed the position of her face while screaming

“Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo” Mrs Adesida screamed this way from her dream to reality.

Her husband and Joy Rushed to her side asking to know what happened

“Please get me my phone or call Bola for me with yours”

“What is wrong”

“I had a terrible night mare, Something bad might happen to my daughter”

“No way, God will protect her.” Her husband responded while going to get his phone

Bola’s phone was in Richard’s car, she had forgotten it there due to fury and at this present moment and with her present mood, she does not even remember that there is a thing called phone and so her phone rang out.

……………………………………………………………………………………………

“Will you marry me?” Richard asked kneeling with the Ring in his hand

EPISODE 10

"Where is he" Mrs Adesida asked her daughter when she came back alone.
"Coming"
Richard knocked slightly once more then entered.
Bola gasped when Richard came in, Joy's eyes widened with excitement, Mr and Mrs Adesida observed him. This awkward moment went on for a while but Mrs Adesida was the first to break the silence.
"How are you son, Have your seat."
"Good afternoon sir and ma" Richard answered while prostrating after dropping all that was with him.
"Afternoon, How are you"
"Fine sir"
Another awkward moment passed between them all after which Bola introduced Richard as a friend which surprised Richard. So finally she could regard him as a friend, even if that was the only thing he achieved today, he was okay with it he thought.
"You never told us you had a male friend and that he is handsome too" her mother teased
"Mum!"
"Ma, I just came to check on Bola because she was absent from work yesterday and she was not aware that I would be here today" Richard tried to defend her.
Conversation flowed easily among them all though sometimes the conversation trend was not always okay with Bola but she had to comport herself to avoid letting them see how embarrassed she was. In between, Richard gave Joy the box of chocolates he got her, the expensive bracelet he bought Bola, the nice jewelries he bought her mother and the wonderfully fragranced perfume he bought her father.
They all thanked him except Bola who was fighting hard to think straight. Here was a man who had the gut to come into her home and even get her family to like him so easily. What is he trying to do? she thought. What baffled her most was the fact that Joy really liked the Guy-one can tell from the way she was chatting him up. That actually endeared her heart towards him. But she was not going to give him a field time, wooing her will not be easy for him.

Richard was so happy that night, words could not describe how he felt at the moment. Bola's parent had treated him like a part of their family. And as for Joy, the small girl really liked him. In fact the questions they were asking him was like they were interviewing him if he was good enough for their daughter and from the looks on their faces, one could tell that they were satisfied with his responses. The high point of the day was when he was about leaving, Bola had escorted him willingly and she had even agreed to dinner with him even though she had asked him again about how he got her house address to which he jokingly replied that he could get any information about anybody easily.
........................................................................................................................................................................................

Everything happened fast between Bola and Richard that sometimes Bola used to wonder if Richard had hypnotized her. Within the first few weeks that they became friends, Bola was initially always conscious whenever she was around him. She didn't trust him that much and even she sometimes felt that Bode will not be happy with her new choice of man. 'But what is wrong in dating Richard' she thought. Even her parents were comfortable with him and most importantly, her daughter was always eager and happy to meet him. Maybe she felt guilty because she still allowed Bode to dominate major parts and aspects of her thoughts. She therefore decided to put away thoughts of Bode and concentrate on her new found love-Richard.
..................................................................................................................................................
She was screaming and running so hard; running for her dear life, someone was trying to kill her, someone is after her life. She ran and ran until her strength failed her, so she decided to rest. While sitting down to catch her breath under a Big mango tree, the killer got to her. She got up Just in time to escape being butchered by the killer and she started running again but this time a little bit slower. The killer gave her another hot chase and caught up with her. This time around, he raised his machete to kill her but she was able to dodge and she kept on running with a renewed strength. She ran and ran; and for the third time the killer caught up with her. Determined not to let her Go again, he pinned her down with his legs, Raised up his machete and...
...............................................................................................................................................
Bola was really enjoying the new life she had found. Richard spoilt her with all sorts of gifts, expensive trips and even her parents and daughter were not left out. They all enjoyed Richards generosity. It was already the third month into their relationship and every one knew about it-everyone that mattered in the society because Richard himself was an highly rated member of the society. They frequently made the headlines in newspapers; bloggers are always eager to write about how wonderful their relationship was; Bola couldn't ask for more-Could she?
..............................................................................................................................................
Before doing what he intended to do, He decided to further wow her parents. In the second month of their relationship, Bode bought an expensive duplex for Bola's parents in the suburb of Lekki. Mr Adesida at first refused the house; he had never really like Richard, he only puts up with him for his daughter's sake. He does not want his daughter to accuse him that his relationship with Richard failed just like that of Bode failed because he didn't approve of it. But after much persuasion from his wife that collecting the house only mean that they were reaping the fruit of their labor and that it means that they were happy for their daughter after all, he decided to accept it and so they moved in to lekki.
......................................................................................................................................................
The environment was serene, the design was romantic and the layout was just out of this world. It was a Friday evening.
Richard had already ordered a very expensive and beautiful dress for his sweet damsel. It was to be delivered at exactly seven pm at her house. He told his driver that he was to go to her house and pick her up when its eight pm and finally, he called her
She picked it at the first ring

'Hello rich, how are you?"

"Love I am fine, U?"

"fine too, but I am missing you here"

"Me too darling, but you know what, I have an idea; lets meet tonite, I will send my driver to come and pick you up then we would go to a nice place to enjoy ourselves"

"Your driver?, why not you"

"Well I have something that needs my urgent attention, so before you get here with my driver, it would have been sorted out."

"Something that needs your urgent attention?, Hope all is well?"


"Yes sweetheart, all is well. L'est I forget, please put on the gown that will be delivered to you shortly, I saw it at a boutique and I thought it would be nice on you so I placed an order"

"Oh, my darling, I love you so much"

"Love you too, see you soon."

After dropping the call, Richard surveyed the eniroment once more and concluded that Bola would like it.

'This guy sure knows how to amaze me, I am sure that he was sent from heaven.' Bola thought to herself. But deep down in her heart, she had this nagging feeling that something was amiss.

'Before you leave here tonight, you have to pray' her mind told her.

Then she knelt down to pray. As she was about praying, she heard a slight knock on her door.

'oh, not now,' she lamented within her.

"Bola are you sleeping?" her mother asked while coming in with an hint of excitement in her voice

"No mum, and why are you so excited" she asked

"Well, someone brought this and said it's for you"

She eagerly stood up forgetting about her initial reason for kneeling down. She already knew what was in it and who sent it, so she collected it from her mum and started dressing up to meet her prince charming.

For ur patience with me, I am gonna do the unusual today, just to reward u For following my story faithfully and patiently, Here is Episode ten!!!

EPISODE 9 CONTINUES

Everyone was seated in the sitting room after a wonderful breakfast when a slight knock was heard.
"who is there?, I am coming"
Joy was already running towards the door when her mother called her back.
"what did I tell you about rushing towards the door to recieve visitors when yo don't even know who is there"
"I am sorry mum"
"Now go and check who is at the door and make sure you do not let him/her in if you don't know the person"
"Yes mum"
Dashing towards the door, Joy was expecting to see familiar faces like grandma and grandpa Obe since they used to visit her whenever she was sick and unable to go to their place but she was taken aback at the sight before her when she opened the door
"Good afternoon sir"
"Good afternoon angel"
Wow, the man called her an Angel, she thought. She would have smiled at him if she wasn't curious at the moment.
"Please, who are you and what do you want here"
"I am Richard and I am here to see Miss Bola Adesida"
"And why do yo want to see her" Joy probed further since her mum had never entertained any male visitor before.
Bola saw that her daughter was taking longer than necessary at the door so she decided to check who it was by herself.
"Joy, why are you taking so long and who is there" She said as she approached the door
She however turned pale when she got to the door and her eyes met Richards
"Joy you can leave now, I will handle him"
"okay mum"
"Good morning" Bola greeted
"Good afternoon, its afternoon already"
"Okay, so how did you get my home address and what do you want here?"
When Joy got the sitting room where her grand-parents were, she told them that a man was at the door and he was asking after her mum. Her grand parents however expected Bola to come in with the man but she was not forthcoming. Bola's mum knew Bola might probably be scolding the man so she decided to intervene.
"Bola, Won't you bring in your visitor?" she shouted from the sitting room
"No mum, I don't think he will like to come in" Bola replied daring Richard to talk. Richard however getting the message decided to dance to her tune and kept mute.
"Then that would be rude of you both, besides i think my daughter deserves more than a guy staying outside and talking with her"
Bola knew the prank her mum was playing and she felt helpless.
"Come in" she told Richard
"Please excuse me for a minute, I will be right back" With this Richard dashed out to his car.
Initially, Richard thought that Bola might be pissed off if He showed up at her door step with his hands full and she might even send him back out rightly. Besides, her parents might get the wrong impression that he wants to but their daughters love with monwy. However, he was glad when her mother sounded welcoming, At least the woman seems understanding so there wouldn't be any harm if he went back to bring all the things he bought for them, he hoped they understand.

Next update on Wednesday.... thks

EPISODE 9
"Mummy wake up, lets go make coffee" Joy was nudging her mother very early in the morning

Bola was alarmed at first as she was still sleeping and she couldn't get what her daughter was saying clearly so she just jumped up from bed. This amused Joy and she started making fun of her mother thinking her mother was trying to play pranks on her just to make her laugh.

"Joy what is wrong with you and whats so funny this early morning," Her mother asked gently while quietly thanking God that at least her daughter looks alive, hale and hearty compared to yesterday when she was so sick.

"Mum nothing is wrong with me. I was just waking you up so that we could Go to the kitchen and make coffee together; you know just me and you. that's how Beatrice and her parents does every Saturday morning, and since you said grandpa is not my Dad, I want it to be just me and you mum"

Bola was stunned by the words coming out of her daughter's mouth. The little girl wanted a quiet moment just with her-her mum. She had to struggle hard so that she wouldn't give way to the emotion threatening to engulf her.
Sensing that her mother might be upset with what she said since she had warned her before not to mind whatever Beatrice says, she decided to apologize,

"Mum, I am sorry, I promise I will not talk about Beatrice and her family again" apologized Joy

"You don't have to be sorry sweetheart, that's a wonderful idea, I think we should do things like this more often" Her mother responded

"Really?"

"yes, now let's see who can run faster, me or you!, let see who gets to the kitchen first"

"Yippee" screamed an excited Joy," I am sure I will be the first"

While mother and daughter were in the kitchen, Bola kept thinking about the recent developments around her, first was her parents asking about her love life, now Joy is gradually longing for a father figure. This was the part she dreaded, she had thought that one day this would happen, but what she never imagined was it being this fast. Joy was just eight year old, She was thinking she might start longing for a father when she was older like eighteen or more, but now; how was she going to handle the pressure she thought to herself. Latest of all development too was the issue of Richard; the guy seems so cute and responsible. But isn't there a saying that you don't judge a book by its cover? She could not just give in that way, the Guy might even be a wolf in sheep's clothing, Besides, something seems odd about the Guy which she couldn't fathom at the moment. She made a mental not to pray about him later maybe God would reveal whatever it was that Richard was hiding.

'Why not pray about it now, it wouldn't take you so long, besides; you don't need to make it a loud prayer, you could just pray now from the depth of your heart, you really don't need a special place to commune with God at times, the intent of your heart is what really matters most.' Her spirit kept telling her but she gave herself an excuse that she does not want to break the wonderful time she and her daughter were having at the moment. So with that, she decided to pray some other time.

Richard could barely sleep throughout the night. He was so eager to go to Bola's place the following day. Her secretary had given him her home address after making him promise that he would not reveal the person who told him the address to Bola and parting with some naira notes. Very early the next morning he wanted to set out on the two hours drive from his place to Bola's, But he quickly reprimanded himself that if he got there too early they might think he was a pathetic desperate guy who is just obsessed and not in love. Besides, he might likely meet her parents too and the first impression he creates really matters, though he was going under the guise that he wanted to check on Bola as a friend even when her secretary had sold her out that she was absent because of her daughter. That had initially shocked him; He didn't know Bola was married talk less of having a daughter, this triggered his curiosity and seeing that the secretary could be bought with money, he wisely lured her to tell him everything she knows about Bola and since money was involved, the lady told him everything she knew-that Bola was divorced, that she was raising her daughter herself and that she was staying with her parents. Richard didn't totally believe all what the lady told her because he knew Bola wasn't the type to give out information about herself to just anybody and he didn't know where the lady got her's from, but at least he was relieved at the fact that even though she had a child, she has no husband and the child should not be a threat to him, he will shower her all the love she needs.
He jolted back to the present when he realized he hadn't even started preparing for the trip. He had some places to branch, some things to buy and even though he didn't want to be too early, he didn't want to be late either an so with this in mind, he started preparing.

Expect episode 9 soon, v.v soon. Do you think Bola will Give Richard a chance?

EPISODE 8 CONTINUES

The recent happenings in Joy's school troubled Bola a lot, even her teacher's were already gossiping about her, were they that jobless?, maybe its high time Joy left that school she thought to herself. She decided to discuss it with her parents first since they all doted on her child, it wouldn't be proper to make such decision without informing her parents. On Friday of the same week, Joy was down with malaria, so she couldn't go to school hence Bola called her place of work to let them know that she wouldn't be coming to work too as she couldn't afford to leave her daughter alone in such condition; even though her granny's are with her, her mind wouldn't be at peace at work hence her decision to stay home. At night when Joy was better and in bed, she decided to raise the issue she had wanted to discuss with her parents since the beginning of the week.
"Dad, mum, there is something I will like to discuss with you" started Bola
"What?" they both chorused and directed their attention to her since they were watching the television before the distraction.
"well, I think I need to change Joy's school" she chose her words carefully
"Why?" asked her mother
"Mum, I am not comfortable with the learning environment, besides I heard some vulgar words from Joy recently and I am pretty sure that she must have learnt it from school. The rate at which the girl is growing and learning fast, I wouldn't want her to learn the wrong things early in life, I want her to be molded and shaped in the right way so that when she grows up, she would not depart from it." answered Bola.
"That was a good observation my dear, though I have not yet heard any of those vulgar words from her but its better to change her school now before those bad word becomes part of her, besides, I will also monitor her more closely at home."
"Thanks mum"
"Which school do you have in mind now" asked her mother
"I was thinking of that new school in the neighborhood, or do you have a better idea?"
"wow, the school Is quite expensive; I am sure Joy will like it better, besides the girl is worth every penny spent on her"
Noticing that her father did not participate in the conversation; though she was glad that her mother whom she thought would be a hard nut to crack was easy, she decided to know her fathers opinion too
" Dad do u think the new school will be good for Joy"
"Bola, as convincing as your excuse sounds, I think there is more to this than you chose to tell us. However, do what you think is best" With this response, He faced what he was busy with initially-watching the television.

...............................................................................................................................................................................

Richard decided to pay Bola a courtesy visit in her office since its been five days now since he last heard from her and maybe he could probably convince her to go to lunch with him. While going, he kept thinking about why Bola was playing so hard to get. He couldn't fathom why, maybe it was ladies ways he thought. One thing was however sure, he was determined to date and probably marry Bola at all cost and marry her he must.

"Hello miss" Richard greeted one of the receptionists at Bola's office while flashing her a sweet smile.
"Hello sir, are you here to see the director?, you can go right to his office sir, the secretary will usher you in, I am sure he would be expecting you" Replied the receptionist who already knew richard was
"Not at all, I am here to see miss Bola Adesida, the HR manager"
"Alright sir, Would you like to go in or should I call her secretary to notify her of your presence" Replied she
"The latter will be better, Thanks"
After a brief moment, the receptionist returned to where Richard was seated
"I am sorry sir, but she is not at work today"
Though alarmed, he decided to comport himself in the lady's presence.
"Okay, thanks. Can I see her secretary?"
"No problem sir"
Not long after, Richard was out of the office with a smile on his face.

gonna update before noon today. thks

EPISODE 8
"Hello sweetheart" Answered Richard

"Who is your sweetheart?, I think your parents did not bring you up in the proper manner a gentle man should be brought up, though you are rich, but you are manner less." fired Bola

This set Richard back, and even though He was deeply pained, he resolved to bury the pain within him and not let it show at least not now.

"I am sorry for stalking you all these while" Responded Richard, Hoping she did not notice that his voice had turned slightly shaky.

Bola noticed the change in his response, when he entered at first, he was smiling confidently, so what happened just now? she thought to herself. Maybe the guy is a chicken hearted guy, maybe he was already getting scared of her; maybe his confidence waned when he saw that she was a though lady. At these thoughts, Bola became relieved that if that was the case, she would tolerate him for the period of time he would stay that day or if he was staying too long, she would tell him off.

Richard on the other hand was determined to win her love by all means, but on studying her more closely, He realised that he had made a mistake by stalking this lady and thinking that material gifts could buy her over. However, what baffled Him was the way she spoke to Him, no lady has ever spoken to him that way since He became the famous Richard. Whatever gave her such guts, He must find out!.

"Mr Richard, What happened to your tongue and why are you starring at me like I am a monster, if you have nothing to say, kindly leave my office and close the door behind you"

Coughing slightly, Richard responded

"Pardon my mannerism, can I at least sit down?"
"Sit and make what you want to say short and brief"
"Thanks bola" Richard answered with a smile.
"Nice office you've got"
"Thanks"
Richard decided not to say anything to the thanks because he was actually expecting some tongue lashing from Her not a 'thanks'. After some seconds of silence, Bola spoke first

"I can see you have no business here, and I have loads of work to do."
"Bola, Is this how harsh you are with everyone, or is it just me?"
"And what is that supposed to mean"
"Bola, I am not here for war, neither am I here to steal you away, why not try to relax and be free with me"
"That does not still answer the question, what do you want here?"
"Well, I came to say hello to my friend"
"Who is your friend?' is this how you pick any random lady from just anywhere to be your friend? or do you think everybody will be interested in being friends with you?"
"Okay, but is there any harm in you being my friend?"
"yeah mr, lot of harm"
"I like the way you frown but you will be more beautiful if u can learn to smile sweetheart"
Bola only let out a slight hiss
"Let me leave you to work now, I will check on you later"
With this, Richard left.

"mum, is it true that I don't have a daddy?" young Joy asked her mother on their way home when she went to pick her in school from work.
"Who told you that sweetheart?"
" today in school, Beatrice abused me that my hair is not fine, then I said I will tell my daddy for her only for her to tell me that I don't have a daddy" Explained Joy

Bola was shocked that at first, she could not reply immediately,then noticing that she was shacking all over, she decided to park.

"And where did she say she heard that from?"
"She said she heard some teachers discussing it one day when she got to school before assembly time, But mummy is it true?"
" No Joy, You have a daddy"
"Yes!!!!!!!!, I told her that too, I said grandpa used to tell me that he and grandpa Obe are my daddy, but she called me a fool mummy, she said my grandparents cannot be my daddy, mummy, she is the fool right?"
"Bola thought of the best way to explain to the little girl without hurting her further.
"Joy, Grandpa obe is your daddy's daddy, so he is still your daddy, grandpa is my own daddy, so he is your daddy also"
"But mummy what about my real daddy?, Beatrice said my daddy is supposed to be young and fine just like her daddy, she even said if I had a daddy, he was supposed to to take us out on weekends, but me gifts and even bring me to school sometimes"
This alarmed Bola more.

Hello readers, thanks for your patience, from now on, no more unnecessary delay. Regular updates, I promise.

EPISODE SEVEN CONTINUES
Initially, when Bola settled to work in the morning, she thought and thought about who could have sent her those flowers but she later concluded that maybe it was her parents trying to apologize for whet transpired over the weekend. But with the call, she picked up the card to know what was in it.

Being with you for just
awhile
Shadows vanish with your
smile

Imagining the warmth of
your touch
Has come to mean so
very much

Like the calming of the
sea
Being with you means
much to me.

yours,

Richard.

So Richard is the man behind the mask, Bola thought. But why would he stoop so low as to changing his voice on phone and scaring her like he was a kind of monster or something. But how did he get her number, she thought to herself. Besides, when did they start talking that he had to send her flowers and even a romantic message. She mentally made it a point of duty to put him straight the next time he calls.

...................................................................................................................................................................................

Richard is the only child of his parents who died in a ghastly motor accident leaving him behind at a tender age of four. He suffered cruel treatment from his uncle who took him in and all his fathers properties were taken and shared among the family. At age sixteen, Richard ran away from home, wandered the streets of Lagos for a while before he met some guys who thought him the secrets to surviving in Lagos. Now after fourteen year of running away from his uncle's place at Abuja to Lagos, Richard is now a well made business man.

..............................................................................................................................................................................................

Over the weeks that followed, Richard did not show his face to Bola, Even though they've met twice at one of the top eateries in Lagos where they exchange pleasantries, Names and polite conversations, he decided not to allow their paths cross for a while, so He avoided going to that same eatery where he was likely to meet Bola. But he did not stop sending her different gifts per time, Ranging from bracelets to nice pair of expensive earrings e.t.c. Unknown to Richard, Bola had been keeping those gift hoping that one day she would have the opportunity to meet Him again and tell him to come for his gift because she does not need them.

After four weeks of Hibernation, Richard decided to surprise Bola again

"Hello, this is Bola speaking, who am I speaking with please?" Bola said into the receiver
"This is Richard" Replied the baritone voice
"Mtchew" Hissed Bola
"Now I know that you went to purchase different sims to call me with. Mr Richard, Even if you are idle, some of us have work to do, so please, kindly leave me to work."

With this she dropped the call

Immediately she dropped the call, the intercom rang.

"Hello"
"Hello ma, Mr Daniels of Richdan petroleum wants to see you ma" said her secretary.
"The same Daniels?" Asked a surprised Bola
"Yes ma"
"okay, let him in"

With this the visitor was let in.

"Hello miss Bola"
"YOU?"!!!!!!!

EPISODE 7
Bola drove out of the house confused. She had no particular place in mind, and she did not even care at this point in time. After driving around the city of Lagos for a while, she finally drove to where she used to go whenever she was depressed- Bode’s tomb.

When she got there, she started crying talking about what was bothering her to the tomb.

“You know, ever since you died, my life has never remained the same. You left a deep gap in my life that no one else can fill, not even my parent’s. Now they are disturbing me about a male figure in my life. They want me to get married! How can I ever love any other guy again? How can I? I still believe they are the cause of your death. If they had not pressurized you that much, then you would still have much hope about life. I wish I was more matured then, not dancing totally to my parents tune. I wish I had stood by you then, but now it’s too late. I am so confused; I can’t just dance to their tune again. If I give another guy the chance, I know I can never love him because my heart is with you and it was buried with you when you died. Should I go on to please them? Bode please communicate with me the way you use to, please, because I am so confused right now” she said amidst sobs.
………………………………………………………………………………...................
When Bola left home, her father was the first to regain his composure.

“You shouldn’t have threatened her that way” Mr Adesida scolded his wife

“I am just worried for her, she seems so engrossed with her works and never giving any male the chance to come near her. She seems to be forgetting that she is not getting any younger. I never wanted to threaten or infuriate her” his wife replied soberly.

“Lets just keep praying for her and hope for the best” concluded mr Adesida

“I hope she is safe wherever she is”

“She didn’t even go with her phone but I trust God that she will be fine” remarked he, when he sighted her phone lying on the sofa.
…………………………………………………………………………………………..

After waiting for a little while more at the tomb, Bola was so relieved and headed to Bode’s guardian’s home to pick her daughter. Even though nobody could understand the reason why she frequented the place, she still does not care. When did she start minding what people think anyways, she thought to herself. Weather people understood or not, her mind was already made up on her next line of action and nobody will or can change her resolve, not even her parents.
She was so pre-occupied with her thoughts that she did not realize how close she was to the obe’s house but she brought herself back to reality quite on time.

When she got there, her daughter who was glad to see her was all over her and the Obe’s welcomed her warmly like they usually did and this further strengthened her earlier decision.
After staying with them for some minutes, she left with her daughter.
………………………………………………………………………………………………

The following Monday at work, Bola got to her office and her secretary told her someone dropped by not long ago and dropped her flowers and a card.
Bola was perplexed. She does not have any friend whatsoever be it male or female, then who could this be; besides, today was not her birthday neither was there anything special happening in her life. Who could be the jobless fellow who thinks of dropping a flower for her on a Monday morning instead of heading to work.
Nevertheless, she collected the flower and the card and headed toward her office amidst stares from her colleagues since it was unusual for her to receive gifts talk less of a romantic one and on a Monday morning for that matter.
She knew she would be the center of discussion among her colleagues that working day but her slogan was: Who cares? They could gossip till eternity as long as none of it would not stick to her body, then she care not.

On getting to her office, she set down the flower and dropped the card beside it without bothering to open it.

Half way during the working hour, she received a call which surprised her and because of this, she rushed over to where she dropped the card, picked it and opened it to see who sent her the flower.
