Gloria

Jason went inside the house. He was really angry. Mille had told me how defensive of her he could get but I had never witnessed it first hand. Everyone went in one after the other. I was left alone with Elliot.
"You're welcome Elliot and thanks for ruining my night."
"Wait Gee. I'm sorry,I really am."
I just stared at him like he was a ghost.
"I got you a gift Gee."
I missed that. Elliot loved calling me Gee.
"Let's go to my room. I dropped it there."
"Na wa o. He barely came back and he has mind to say 'my room' " I thought as I followed him upstairs. He brought out a small box from his drawer and handed it to me.
"Thank you Elliot."
"You're more than welcome." I turned to leave the room.
"Won't you open it?"
"Not yet. I'll..."
"Gloria!" Mum yelled.
"Yes mum" I left the room "Where are you mum?"
"My room." She yelled back.
I went there and she was pacing.
"What is it mum?"
"Niel isn't picking my calls Gloria. He took Mille with him."
"Mum relax. I'm sure they're fine."
"Did you just say sure? Your brother can do silly things when he's angry and you know it."
"They'll be fine mum. Mille's phone is in her purse and it's in my room. Maybe Niel left his phone at home too. Rest your head first."
"Gloria if only you're a mother you'll understand what it means." The mood wasn't just right for any stories so I left her. I dropped the gift in my room and headed downstairs.
"We'll be leaving Gloria. Tell your mum okay?" Uncle Liam said.
"Alright uncle. Thanks for coming. I'm sorry for the drama you had to witness.
"It's okay child. These things happen." He replied.
"What about Mille and Niel?" Aunt Liz asked.
"Sincerely,I can't guess where they are right now." I answered.
"Jamille's at home mum. I can feel it." Jason put in.
I almost laughed. How on earth could someone feel where another person was.
As if reading my thoughts Jason said "Twins always have a connection Gloria."
I nodded.

Jathniel

"He's my twin brother and his name is Elliot like you heard."
"Niel,I know that already." She said.
"Since we were little,he had always been the troublesome one. I was a lot more quiet and I can't count the number of times I got punished for him."
"And you kept quiet?" She asked.
"You yourself has seen how alike we look."
"Yeah. If you had left my side,I wouldn't have known the difference."
I laughed "Same applied to my dad. My mum knew the difference between us from day one but she always chose to defend Elliot all the time."
"Do you have any idea why?" She asked.
"Elliot was never as strong as I was from birth so she felt she had to protect him no matter how naughty he got."
"Oh I see. So what made him leave?"
"He left after our father died. My dad willed the company to me while all his other properties were willed to Gloria and Elliot. Obviously,he wasn't satisfied. He had access to everything mum had. Somehow, he tricked her and emptied her account."
"Seriously?"
"Yes Mille. He emptied her account and also took more than half of her jewellery. Mother wept her heart out. She even got sick thinking of him. I suffered for my mum. I went up and down trying to help her get better. It took some months but she finally got over it. I've been enjoying my life since then and now,Elliot shows up to ruin everything. You see why I got mad?"
"I understand Niel and I'm so sorry."
"It's okay. Any more questions my lady?"
She laughed and said "Yes."
"And what would that be?"
We heard a car horn honk.
"I guess they're back." She announced. Their new gateman opened the gate.
They drove in and we got up to welcome them.
"Well, it seems Jason was right after all. You guys ran here." Uncle Liam said.
"Yes Uncle. I'm sorry about what happened at the house."
"It's okay son."
Jason and Mille were hugging like they hadn't seen each other in decades. I wondered when Elliot and I would become as united as they were.
"Jason let Mille be. Let them finish their discussion."
"No uncle. It's late and I have to get home."
"Bye son." Uncle Liam and Aunt Liz chorused.
"Bye Jathniel. Mille escort him na." Jason said and that earned him a playful punch from Mille.
She escorted me.
"When will I see you again Niel?"
"Tomorrow my lady."
"Alright. Have a great night." She said.
I gave her hand a gentle squeeze.
"Have a night that's better than great your highness."
She laughed "Go jor. Remember we have one more question to solve tomorrow."
"Yes ma."

Charis

I heard the gate open downstairs. I peeped through my window and saw it was Jathniel. I heaved a sigh of relief as I sat on the bed. I expected him to come to my room in few minutes but he never showed up.
I went to his room and knocked.
"Come in mum."
"How'd you know it was me" I said as I entered the room.
"I saw you peeping from your window. I wanted to come to your room but I got lost in thoughts."
"It's okay son. Where'd you go to with Mille?"
"I took her home. We had to talk."
"About?"
"Mum,stop investigating my life like this na. The one you're supposed to investigate,you'll leave to go scot free."
"Jathniel,what's that supposed to mean?"
"I'm sorry mum. I need time for my brain to boot."
"Have you told Mille?"
"Told Mille what?" He asked feigning ignorance.
"You know what I mean son. I'm advising you as your mother Jathniel,tell her about it. The sooner,the better. Have you heard me?"
"Yeah." He laid down and closed his eyes.
"Good night son."
"Good night mum and please as you're heading to his room,you should try to keep your voices down. Some of us want to sleep."
I turned off the light and left the room. Jathniel was fond of guessing my next move all the time. He knew I was going to Elliot's room as I always did before he disappeared. His room was the last place I always visited before going to bed.
On getting there,I knocked but no one answered. I assumed he was in the bathroom only to meet him in my room when I got back.
"I went looking for you Elliot in your room."
"Sorry mum. I came here when you went to Jathniel's room."
"Come here. I've missed you."
"Missed you too mum."
"How've you been? You still look pretty much the same."
"I've been alright mum. Been moving between Lagos and South Africa."
"Why is that?"
"I got a job in Lagos as a programmer. It takes me to South Africa most of the time."
"I see. You got really established then. Hope it's going well."
"Yeah. Of course."
"So how come you remembered us all of a sudden?"
"Mummy! I missed you all so much. I lost my phone and all your contacts. That's why you haven't heard from me all this while."
"Aw my baby. I missed you so. When are you bringing her home?"
"Who?"
"The woman you want to marry of course. Jathniel has made his move on his own girl. I'm waiting for yours."
"Sooner than you expect mum. Let me show you her pictures."
He brought out his phone from his pocket and showed me her pictures.
"She doesn't look Nigerian to me." I remarked.
"That's true. She's South African. Won't you love a foreign Daughter-in-law ?"
"Of course I would. She's really beautiful. I hope her heart is as beautiful as her face."
"Yes mum. Our court wedding is in two weeks."
"Two weeks?"
"Yes mum."
"Son, I don't even know her and you want to marry her?"
"Mum,trust me. She's been tested over and over. We've been together for two years."
He went on and on till he finally persuaded me to support him. We talked long into the night.


Jathniel

Immediately mum left my room,I called Mille but she wasn't picking.
Next thing I knew,Gloria ran into my room,turned on the light and bounced on me.
"Don't you know how to knock?" I queried.
"Leave me jor. Don't I get to do one crazy thing on my birthday?" She replied.
"Suit yourself madam birthday. What are you doing here?"
"I just felt like coming to stay with you."
"So you love me like this?"
She rolled her eyes "Error bro. I just came to tell you I'm with Mille's phone."
"What?!"
"Yeah. I forgot to send it to her through Jason. I've called him anyway and I told her I'm still with it. She'll come get it tomorrow morning so relax lover boy and stop calling."
"I feel like strangling you Gloria."
"Eya,sorry. I forgot to tell you something."
"If you say rubbish Gloria,I will fling you out the window."
She laughed "Elliot got me a necklace as a birthday present."
"Fantastic! So why'd you tell me?"
"I don't know. I just felt like. Will you pardon me for saying what I'm about to say?"
"Do I have a choice?" I asked back.
"Well, I don't approve of his coming back. I feel there's something creepy about it."
"Don't say that Gloria. He's your brother too. He even went the extra mile to get you a present. He loves you."
"Then why were you too arguing?" She asked.
"Some things are better left unsaid Gloria. Just know that he means well okay?"
"Alright bro. Good night." She hugged me.
"Good night Gloria."
I couldn't believe I said all that. Elliot and I may have our differences but I wouldn't paint him black to Gloria. Never!
