Where is she from?
"Even my Dad and Mom could not recognize me." Laila speaking, affirmed, " Sure, Mr Roberts won't! Hope he is the only problem?" She gave David a hard look and a smile."Yeah," David concurred," Soon, " he said, "we will try our game.""Hehehe," she exclaimed, asking. "When?", intoxicated by her anticipation.She took a mirror, turning her face before it."I will tell him tomorrow I want to get married," said David."Okay. You are mature, after all. Then...?""Normally, they will ask who is she?" David pointed out."They? Mr Roberts and?" she asked, agitation, over her face"His wife and John, my brother and wife," David counted."I haven't seen them," she said, "Except Mr Roberts, would they pose a problem?" She was curious, and she added," We aren't going to be telling them long stories of the past. Isn't it?" storming David with a steely look. *. *. *David before Roberts, his heart cut.Liars know how to keep their faces straight. But here was David, who had never before practiced lying.It was like his uncle's eyes were already probing him."Where is she from?" Mr Roberts asked.His heart pounded. Truth dropped from his mouth and he told him, "Territory A."Uncle Roberts grimaced like a devil lives in that territory.He asked him who she was."I saw her on I*******m." David said," And she had visited me.""What does she do and from which family?" Mr. Roberts reeled out questions.David was not comfortable with the second question." Uncle. I am not marrying family." he told him without hiding his feelings." In-laws must know in-laws to their homes." his uncle said. " Is she from a royal family?" he asked."Uncle?" David, getting peeved, asked, "Why royal?"Though he was with the Andersons for three years, he knew they were not a royal family by the standard his family would agree with. But he has to defend them as royal or stand on his feet they must be his in-laws despite what he suffered in their home because of Laila. He wants to marry Laila for a second time and then punish her for the kiss in the restaurant without which, he will not be termed a man.Punish her and still marry her that was all he wanted"David." his uncle called him"Uncle," he answered him."Here you go again. Listen " Mr Roberts sounded a warning to avoid the repetition of the past ." When young people are getting married," he said," there will be mechanisms put in place to settle their cases. One of them is the integrity of the families." he mentioned." If your family was involved in your previous whatever," he reminded him," you people would not have parted ways."Mr Roberts said, but David insisted:"Uncle, I want to marry this girl."Sandra, Mr. Roberts's wife who came into the sitting room from her room intervened."Okay. Can you introduce her?""Yes, Aunty""When?""I will call you this weekend.""Then, we expect you, people."He brooded over the questions by his uncle."How did you go?' Laila grimaced, her eyes screwing out words from David.Would he tell him the questions and his uncle's fear?No. It would create fear in her and she might fumble in their presence.*David." she insisted on knowing would get her prepared."Are you from a royal family?""And what did you say?""I told them I want to marry this girl."She hissed and walked away. She came back, murmuring David did not represent her and her family well. "What could I have said? " asked David."So, the only thing you could say was I want to marry this girl. Who is this girl?" She walked away, coming back murmuring again," In this country, my family is rich, what goddamn thing is royal again? Would there be another opportunity to tell them we are rich?" Laila asked." We have not consulted your people. What if they would say no?"" No? So, we are not sure of what we are doing?""Not that way. Your family, based on the past could say no."" Stop thinking negative about your in-laws. Nobody, even you would want a poor son-in-law.""David was thrown up."Yes!" she said thickly." You have a daughter, you trained your daughter, hoping on your daughter, then a stupid idiot sneaked into her with sweet words and sex, not done, ate your meal every day and David, you would be happy?"Sneaked into her. See the phrase like it was a deceptive marriage.""If not deceptive. Why not pay, carry, and go?...my family will have no objection now, dear."She, like her family, emphasizes money in a relationship, and David will see reason to forgive her for the horrible experience he had as an adopted son-in-law in the Andersons' home. But there is one sin he will never forgiveTheir security dashed out and they opened their doors. David took her arm and they walked in.In the living room, Mr Roberts' wife, despite scanning her like she was once a criminal, was God's providence for her escape.She said to Mr. Roberts," David has found a soulmate, let's give them our blessing."With the way the interview and the inspection were cut short, Laila's heart pounded. Back at the old statehouse, Laila's mom was on the line. "What happened? Your line had been of these days?"She had offed her phone because of Dr. Pat."Well, Dr Pat is at the gate. What will I tell him? But make sure that David or Evid is not pretending to be rich o.""Mum he is Super rich! Please, tell him, he should talk with me that I am not a baby. Period" Laila spoke gingerly as if Dr. Pat was eavesdropping.Dina, Laila's Mom relayed to her their live discussion with Dr Pat."Somebody told me she saw her at the airport."Dina parted her arms."Do I know? She didn't tell me anything."After liste
When she said " I do ", Dr. Patrick shuddered.The "I do" came from the altar, a distance of twenty meters. The voice of his fiancee, Laila? Dr. Pat walked out from the pew and squeezed through the personalities, eyes on who was in the veil. He went back and sat down in the pewHe was sure whom he saw. By her voice, when she said 'I do'. By her hips inside the crafted Dubai wedding dress. The hips he had traced both sides at least thrice; up and down, up and down. With eyes closed, he could tell these hips belonged to Laila He has to ask her how it happened. When did you know my boss, Laila? Were you double-dating? He thought of the best approach: Call her with a different number, ask her how come. Or, lie low and overlook her? The pain may go away one day. How would the pain go? Is there another Angel God will send on an errand he could trap on the earth?Laila has the sexiest shape, her hazel eyes always like she wanted to sleep any time she was responding to his kiss. Oh! Laila
Dr Pat Dead?"That Dr Pat is dead? Just like that?""What did they say happen? "Whisper: a female partner he took to the chalet..."Did what?"Another news came: He hasn't died. He's still breathing." Oh! What a shame! What would his wife say?""Does he have a wife? Do you know?""Oh. Hope the CEO won't hear this!""How won't he hear it? A director? ""Have you heard anything?" asked Laila, as David came back from business travel.He traveled with some officials of Atlas Corp for mining in Namibia and on their way from the airport, they had a stopover at the office where the news was broken to them. Mr Cliff heard it in whispers before it was broached to him."About my director, isn't it? " he asked Laila."That's a fuck up, mehn." David damned him."So, did he die?" Laila questioned and doubled her question, "Was he at our wedding?" she asked, in a bid to screw out something. Dr. Pat, being alive was not good at all. O Gosh! She jigged her fist and David said, "Yeah, he attended
Dr. Pat was the man who kissed LailaLooking at the picture, Laila asked," What could be the partner's grouse?""Who knows! The same thing I asked," said David."Anything other than love?" asked Laila." Men, who could not control their libido." she stared back at David." Well. He said if he recovers, he will visit. Then, we will know." said David."You seem to have interest in the matter." Laila said."A CEO! Peeping into the affairs of his workers ." She taunted David."Oh. I did not see it that way," said David. Though, he understood Laila's viewpoint, his being an extrovert was humane. He did not grow up knowing what is gossip or wickedness. As a young man, 27, born with a silver spoon, he had never been worried or lived in an environment of wrangling. He was just learning the tropes now, which is why he procrastinates, or it seems he is weak on Laila. Laila crossed her leg over him and one thing led to another. There was a display of affection. A long kiss.He does not hate her
"I have forgiven the family. They have made their reason known and it was understandable.But Laila, she will be the wife who suffered the most revengeful act from a husband." David was soliloquizing.Her parents have understandable reasons for treating him like a useless Son-in-law, but what reason has she to kiss another man so passionately in my presence? Mind you, the divorce was not anything to me. "One could divorce out of anger but to kiss another man with eyes closed, soul raptured...mehn." He jiggled the glass in his hand, his head full, he hit the bottom of the glass on the table. It did not break but the bottle of the Cognac quaked.His head was full and he called himself a useless son-in-law but his happiness is that he is taking care of his in-laws All are camped in his house in Nebraska awaiting the construction of their new house. A dangerous fire three weeks ago ate the whole solid mansion of the Andersons and not even a pin was removed from the inferno. Laila's cer
They chose to open the residential house with fanfare. The Andersons. It was a double celebration with a spoiler. A sad thing happened and in this age of the internet, it was everywhere.Mr Roberts' wife called her husband's attention that this story was similar to David's."But her brother killed himself. How do you see it, Roberts?" she asked her husband."You mean?" Mr Roberts asked."You mean? "She repeated, meaning Mr Roberts was not sharp enough to catch up." David is just an ajebo, with no experience." She was making the news clear to him " He could have been hoodwinked!""It can't be David's in-law." Mr Roberts read the news again. "Roberts, call your cousin. Stop reading! Who else was an adopted son-in-law, divorced and thrown out and he hit it big and spent lavishly for his In-laws?" "But David married a new wife and has had no connection with Laila. Though, the present one is Laila too which means nothing.""Thomas. Take, call him." Martina gave Mr Roberts her phone."Dav
What is your stand?Laila noticed that David was reacting to something. The mattress was shaking, and he got up.She gripped his arm." David! You must tell me that! That thing that makes you agitate, that makes you break everything!"Holding his arm still, she stood out of the bed too and supported her right hand with her other hand."Leave my hand. Nothing." David said, both of them facing each other, standing." Lie! Tell me! Did I steal?"David grinned widely and his hands compressed her cheeks, reshaping her lips. Sensing how her lips could look, she beat off his hand and David regained freedom and said"Go and shower." He walked into his bathroom as she repeated herself. " I am married here! Nothing will remove me here!"She took her bath, and off to the fashion industry.Everyone in the Fashions And Fashions LTD knows her. With eyes, they know she came from the royal family. But humble. Though her car was burnt in the inferno that gulped her parents' home, she did not want to d
"My stand?" David repeated. It was a secret he revealed to her. What Suzie came for. He has not decided on any other stand as she was itching to hear. "Go to work. Later." he advised Laila who, while leaving, chipped in to reaffirm her stand." I am the love rooted, the wind might blow the branches either way."David sat down to reflect. He lit his cigarette. Still on the matter. She seemed determined in this second chance to show her love. And David, right inside does not hate her. A girl her love cost me my relationship with my family. To turn around and say I hate her is mocking myself. But she will not go unpunished. After which, we will still be one.The one problem now is what could I revenge with? Marrying Selena, one. For her to know how it feels. But Suzie and my family would not revenge for me. What they see as her sin, is outdated and canceled.The evidence was there. The mini scrapper he built for their fabric business that cost millions of dollars and the palatial res
