Hotel Palaver - Season 1 - Episode 9

Henry’s POV
Deji sat opposite me in my office watching a video. He found whatever he was watching pleasing and amusing.
“Stop the cackling deji, you sound like a chicken” I complained with a chuckle and i watched him take his gaze off his phone.
“Just watch the video Henry. Trust me, cackling will be the trend of the day.”
“Another akpos joke?” I asked, “Even more interesting!” he answered handing the phone to me.
I shook my head when i noticed that the guy in the video was on his knee. I knew it was definitely a proposal gone wrong.
“This guy has some crazy guts. I’ll never propose in public”
The video was blurry, it felt like it was shot with Nokia 3310 camera. Five minutes into the tense short movie, I notice another thing. There was a blurry face i thought I recognised. Carefully observing the blurry face, it finally became clear.

It was indeed someone i knew.

There was no need debating over it.
“Adesuwa” i muttered.
I couldn’t believe my own sight. “Adesuwa” i muttered once more…
“Seriously” i added, my left palm unconciously covered my lip.
“The video was suppose to make you laugh not leave you startled” Deji retorted and I gave him back his phone.
“It’s her Deji, it’s the girl…that speech impaired chick, the one who walked into me naked” I explain and he raised his brow in disbelief.
“Seriously?”
“I think this girl has some serious issues” I continued.
“Serious mental issue.” Deji agreed. “First she walked in on you naked, then she faked dumb. This girl is crazy, let’s call her a psychiatrist!” Deji suggested.
“Now you’re over-exaggerating it”
“You don’t know, we might be doing that babe a huge favour”
I stood up from the chair walking towards the door.


“And… where the hell are you going to?” He asked, “To talk to her”
“Deal with this like the boss you are! Get rid of the girl.”

“Not without an explanation. See…” I paused in thought, “There has to be a reason, the lies…and the video…i just need to ask”

“Well it’s not your business Henry!”
“Sorry man, but i’m making it mine” I answered going back to take my phone and I saw Deji roll his eyes then he let out a long hiss.

“You never change! Go now! Carry person matter for head.”
