were not around.
Me: you came? I never knew, am at a friend’s place.
But do you mind waiting for me, i will be there in few
minutes time.
Jenny: no you don’t have to bother, am already on my
way home.
Me: okay if you say so, please take good care of

Jenny: okay dear, and you too.
Me: sure. Daniel loves you, never stop and never will.
Jenny: she giggled, i do love you too.
Me: please give me a call when you get home and
extend my greetings to your parents.

Me: what’s that?
Jenny: it’s about my Dad.
Me: your dad? hope everything is alright.
Jenny: yes, he wants to see you.

Jenny: when will you be coming.

Jenny: okay, i will inform so he will be expecting you.
Me: but you still haven’t told me the reason why he
wants to see me.
Jenny: don’t worry Daniel, you will know when you get
there.
Me: okay then. We talked for some moments before we
bid each other farewell and ended the phone call.
I was still in jaga house. I stared at the last bottle of
vodka which i had left and opened it. In no time, i
began to fill my stomach with its content. I had stayed
long in Jaga’s house and I wasn’t even concerned about
it as long as I had company. I had almost emptied the
bottle when jaga came out of his room and sat on a
chair opposite me, i never noticed when he left earlier.
Jaga: mr loverboy

Me: so how will I do it now, do i call her and tell her not
to come again?
Jaga: no, that won’t be a good idea, i don’t think you
have to besides what reason will you give. I suggest you
leave earlier before she arrives, that way you can find
any excuse to give her.
Me: i don hear you, na wetin I go do be dat. But this
girl na problem oh.
Jaga: are you not the one creating the problem for
yourself. I have told you what to do but you won’t
listen. If you don’t do anything about Clara’s constant
visits, it will really mess things up for you.
me: but it wont be an easy thing na, what if konji worry
me, who go satisfy am na?
Jaga: Mtcheeeeeeeew, na konji go fire your mouth
there.
Me: hahaha.
With time far spent, i later left Jaga’s house and
headed for home when I observed it was almost dusk.
My journey back home consumed two hours of my time
trying to get a bus and by the time I got home i felt
weak and was too tired to even pull off my clothes so I
went to bed and slept immediately.
I woke up the next morning feeling very hungry, i
hadn’t taken any food the previous night except for
the bottles of beer i filled my stomach. I unable to
bear the hunger pangs, i quickly went out to purchase
bread and ate it all with tea. Not forgetting what I
had planned in mind, i waited till it was almost noon
before I dressed up and headed for Jenny’s house. On
getting to the gate, i decided not to know because I
wasn’t ready to answer unnecessary questions from the
security officer.
I phoned Jenny and told her I was at the gate, she then
came out to meet me. We hugged and greeted each
other after which she led me into her house. She asked
me to wait at the sitting room while she went to inform
her father of my presence. Few minutes later, her dad
came downstairs unaccompanied by Jenny.
Me: Good afternoon sir, i stood up to greet him.
Chief Williams: Good afternoon young man, please have
your seat, he said and sat opposite me. What is that
your name again?
Me: my name is Daniel sir
Chief Williams: okay, i don’t think I need to introduce
myself because am sure my daughter must have told
you much about me.
Me: yes, you are right sir.
Chief Williams: Good. You may be wondering why I sent
for you which i why I will want to go straight to the
point.
Me: ok, go on sir, am listening.
Chief Williams: I am very much aware of your
relationship with my daughter and am glad that after
all this years of being single, she has finally settled
down. Am very happy for the both of you.
Me: thank you sir.
Chief Williams: My daughter spoke with me of recent,
informing me about your current state of not having a
job, so I decided to offer you one. That way, by being a
business partner, we can be very close and get to know
more of each other, mostly especially in the business
aspect. What do you think, are you okay with it?
Me: really? of course yes, am okay with it sir.
Chief Williams: Good. Am only doing this on behalf of my
daughter as she requested even though it was against
my wish.
I have no choice but to oblige since she knows you more
than i do. I will like to see your credentials so i can use
it to link you up with a good firm.
Me: thank you so much, i just don’t know how to express
my gratitude. I feel honoured and happy to be given
this opportunity, thank you very much sir, am grateful.
Chief Williams: that is the best i can do for now, you
see. Jennifer as my only daughter is so dear to me, her
happiness is my major concern because I won’t want to
see her sad which is why I don’t want to be
disappointed by you. I won’t take it easy on you if my
daughter’s joy is short lived, because i won’t mind
throwing you in jail.
Me: sir???
