Compulsory Marriage - S02 E08

Read Story: SEASON 2 EPISODE 8

It was around 4pm when I got a beep from
Biola

Biola: whats up baby….how has your day
been?

Me:On a lowkey jare….been home since
morning

Biola:so, what have you been doing at home?

Me: Nothing jare..preparing for tomorrow’s
work

Biola: Are you sure? Are you alone

Me: Ahn..ahn, don’t you trust me? Forget
about the past now baby

Biola: okay ooo

Me: so, how far? What is the outcome of the
discussion?

Biola: Still the same thing ooo

Me: still the same thing as in?

Biola: Dad said he is trying to protect me that
what is the tendency that what happened will
never happen again. He said he cant trust you
with his daughter again

Me: That is serious…so, what was grandma’s
response?

Biola: It was serious argument and for the first
time in a long time popsy said he wont listen
to her on this issue

Me:is it up to that?

Biola: I was surprise too even mumsy was, we
had to start begging him again..All of us

Me: And he didn’t shift ground too?

Biola: Iro..he didn’t ooo…..

Me: So, what do we do now? Who do we talk
to again?

Biola: Grandma has taken her decision, she
has fixed a date for our introduction and she
said it will happen in 6weeks time in our
house

Me: And you think that will be possible?

Biola: Definitely….Grandma was very angry and
you know she’s stubborn too. Dad got that
character from him, we are on our way to see
our pastor now sef

Me: You and who?

Biola: Me, Mumsy and Grandma..Grandma
said he want to see him and talk to him, tell
him about her decision and to talk to my dad
too

Me: That is very good..that is a nice idea
because I know the pastor will let him
understand the consequences of not listening
to his own parent too

Biola: Abi, I just pray all will be well…

Me: All will be well dear, so where will you be
going from there?

Biola: If not what I want to go and pick at
Ajao Estate, I would have love to come
straight forward because my mind is not at
peace knowing that my credentials are there,
what if someone breaks into the house?

Me: Yes..that is true sha, just don’t stay long
and don’t let it be night before you come back

Biola: Definitely…prepare dinner before I come
oo

Me: dinner ke?

Biola: Yes now……..

Me: okay, what do you want to eat?

Biola: Amala

Me: see your mouth like Amala, okay, it will
be ready before you come back jhoor

Biola:see you later dear

Me: okay

I stop chatting with Biola and was praying for
positive feedback from where they went to. I
was so sure their pastor should be able to talk
to her dad. It was around 7pm, I started
preparing what we are going to eat, I finished
cooking around past 8. I called Biola but she
didn’t pick, I thought maybe she was busy or
inside commercial bus that she didn’t want to
pick.

I called again by 9pm but she wasn’t picking,

I wasn’t comfortable with her not picking my
call, I was still trying I got a computer
response that the number was switched off. Up
until 10pm, her number was not going, I
didn’t even know where to go and look for her
because I don’t know the outcome of their
visit to the pastor, if they all decided to go
back home or if she would be at Ajao Estate
maybe they left the pastor’s place late. I was
thinking of it until slept off in the sitting
room.
