“Hello, who’s on the line?” Came Derrick’s first question. He was in the hall, comforting his friend when the call came in.“Derrick, this Tana, don’t let anyone by your side know that I’m the one calling.” Tana said, making use of a soft tone. Her voice was so low that she had expected no one to get it from his end apart from him.“Okay boss,” Holding his phone very close to his ear, he raised his head to check if Nelson was spying on him, which turned out to be the case. At this stage, he knew Tana was certainly calling to know more about Pharell’s whereabouts. Just as she asked him, he did everything to hide it from everyone.“I’ll call you later, just give me a minute or two.” He said, after which he hung the phone.Looking at his broken friend, he cleared his throat while searching for what rubbish to tell him so he could leave the hall. Just when he was about to talk, Nelson advanced him.“Was that Tana on the phone, did she tell you anything?” Nelson said in panic, waiting for
“Then why didn’t you do it inside the hall since you claim this place is dangerous?” Marah stared at him before asking, still wandering the kind of dark room in which he found himself.“Hahaha,” An unpleasant smile escaped his lips, “About the hall thing, I couldn’t make a call in the hall, given that there’s a lot of noise going on. There are murmurs from everyone which makes it difficult to communicate,”“For the environment, you shouldn’t bother about me, I’m a man and I can defend myself, I’m worried about you who is equally stressed up.” Derrick aired his mind.“You are right, Derrick. I’m sure my friends have taken the current situation to the different social media platforms they are active on.”“Do you see what situation Tana has put our family into? We are now covered with shame. How do we even face Nelson’s parents before talking about it with the public?” Marah grinned.“It’s okay, Madam, I’m sure you’ll be fine, you’d husband would be fine too.” He said, locking her into h
“Of course I’m not alright. How will a lady in a white robe stand before you and the only thing you can ask is if I’m alright?” She harshly dropped then melted.The commissioner’s jaws dropped, with his mouth widely opened. He had done nothing apart from asking the young bride if everything was okay. He wasn’t expecting her to be brutal. He parted his lips, ready to speak when Tana spilled out more words from her throat.“I wish to see Pharrell Crowley, I know he is under your custody.” She said, placing her hands on her middle, with her legs hitting the dirty bamboo floor.“Wow, I see somebody hit your hard in the heart. Is he supposed to be…” The completion of his phrase was disrupted, again Tana took the lead.“Commissioner, it won’t be good if you waste both our times. We are grown-ups who have a lot to do on our desk. Why don’t you tell me where you had him placed, or did you have your men already to deal with him?” Without getting scared, she didn’t sugar coat anything.“Young la
“I had in mind to call you, but I know you’ve had issues with your parents these last few days because of me. I didn’t want to force myself on you, and so I was waiting for the right moment to get to you.” Pharrell started with his speech. The young man had his fingers shaking like a 15-year-old dude.“In two words what are you trying to say?” Tana asked, her face looking very cold and toxic.“Humm,” Pharrell swallowed hard before parting his lips, “All I’m trying to say is that I’m grateful for coming across you again. I just wanted to tell you how glad I was and also wanted to say thank you for standing up for me that day,” “Damn, I asked you to summarise all that in two words, don’t you think you went above that?” She said, taking a deep breath, “Well, you don’t have to thank me. We have once been good friends. I was taught good manners, as such I always stand for those I have been friends with.” She said, trying to look in a different direction.Pharrell smiled and permitted hims
It went on for a period of some minutes until she decided to turn off the TV set. She stood up, and after taking a deep breath, she was lost in her thoughts.“What do I do now?” She supported hands on her sexy waist before whispering to herself.“Well, there’s no harm in trying, I’ll go there and stay just a few minutes. If he tries anything stupid, I’m gonna come back straight to my house.” She lamented to herself.Looking at her watch, it was getting to 9 pm. She gasped when she glanced at her watch. Pharrell gave her an appointment at 7 pm, and he hadn’t even called, that was the most enticing moment. “He hasn’t even called, is it that he got another girl to keep him company?” Just the mere thought of Pharrell having dinner with another lady urged her to do real quick with whatever she had to do.The weather was cold, so there was no point for her taking a bath. She simply cleaned herself and got to her closet where she started looking for what dress to wear.“I’ll be dressed like
Tana’s eyes bulged as soon as he said that, not that she was expecting less from him and his family. It was the tone in which he used to address her that got her worried.“What are you trying to say? What did your father do to my family, apart from taking back the funds they invested in their project?” Tana hissed,“I’m glad you are aware of that. How does it feel anytime you look at yourself in the mirror and you come to realise that you are the one who sent your father to his current situation?” “Because I can guarantee you that my family just started with yours, we are gonna show them the other side of us. No company, I mean no company is ever going to invest such an amount of money in their project with what we are about to do.” Nelson completed his statement, his eyes looking very red like one who was pushed to the edge.“You can go to hell with your family for all I care, if getting married to you is the only way to save my family’s integrity, then we better perish.” She scream
“Hope you brought money alongside with you because the family paying for their bills just sent us an email a while ago, letting us k ow they won’t be covering up for their bills.”“Just make sure that your pockets are as beautiful as the car you just stepped out from.” The nurse at the login mentioned, chewing her gum in a despicable manner.Pharrell was taken aback by her last sentence, the young man literally swallowed hard, “Wait, do you mean that you saw us right at the entrance of the hospital but you chose to stay here? Is that what you were thought during your training weh you were still a student nurse?” He bombarded, his wrist bulging into a fist.“Have you gone nuts or what? Is it that you didn’t get the first part of my speech? I said the family paying for her bills can’t accomodate it any longer.” She said, snapping his whole body.“Damn, what education did you receive? Aren’t you supposed to advocate for a patient? Even if that’s the case, there’s a way you can maid this
“Wow, that should be Salmon’s father. From their faces, you’ll tell that they are both related. But I need to understand what is going on.” Pharrell whispered while leaving the place.He stood behind the door and opted to get what the middle-aged man was saying, unfortunately for him, there was no way he could get that given that there was a whole crown, struggling to get too.“Oops, I’m just gonna go get Tana’s meal, hoping that when I come back the crowd would have reduced.He left for the hospital canteen where he ordered for something light. The nurses said she shouldn’t take anything heavy.His meal was handed over to him, and he got back to the login. Still the crowd had not reduced, he could tell they had increased rather. He lose hopes and continued to the ward. In his way, he fell on a brown-skin dude who was leaning by the pillar and going through his phone. Curiously, he remarked the dude. He sometimes saw him walking with Salmon.“Excuse me, please what happened to Salmon?
