Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 39

(Finale)

Every successful person has a painful story and every painful story has a successful ending. Accept the pain and get ready for success.

That was the wonderful news ever from a woman that has be barren for over 10 years. I wasted no time in sharing the news with Ewatomi and peace.

Peace : like seriously?

Me : she told me herself.

Peace : wao!!!

Ewatomi : aunty motunrayo is expecting a baby?

Me : hell yes!!

Peace : this call for celebration.

Me: absolutely, get me my car key, we need to go drink some champaign with them.

Peace : yes oooo.

We got there some minutes later, we found them playing romeo and Juliet all around the lounge They don’t even notice our presence.

Me: excuse me sir, excuse ma, don’t you think you two are too old for a wild goose chase?

Goke: wao, what a peasant surprise and to answer your question. Love don’t grow old. Ours is has strong as a diamond. Nothing can break it.

Me: hmmm anyway we came Here to celebrate the great news together with you.

Motunrayo : thank you. my joy has no limit.

Peace : am so happy for you.

Goke : as you normally say, let leave the ladies alone and go have some drinks and also some men talks over there.

Me: after you sir.

We left the ladies to have some drinks, but after a while of non stop drinking, my bladder was full and I need to free up some space for the comfort of the body. I head to toilet to free up my bladder, on my way back I over heard the ladies saying some things,

” ladies and gossiping sha. ” I said to myself. I stopped on my track when I heard my name from one of them, firstly i thought I being called on, not until I realize the gossip was centered on me. I hide myself behind the door and strain my ear well enough to hear them both.

Motunrayo : so what about the trick I taught you.

Peace : you know its wasn’t really a trick. The only trick there was when I said am leaving him.

Motunrayo : and what was his reaction?

Peace : and your trick worked there. He didn’t want me to go . He want me to stay.

Motunrayo : very good. One thing about men, they are easy to understand and easy to capture. Should I tell you something about ay.

Peace : yes?

Motunrayo : he love you, I can see it in his eyes. Its not that clear but believe me, he wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to you. Tell him you are in love with someone else, wait and see his reaction.

Peace : no, I can’t do that, I might lose him forever.

Motunrayo : no you won’t, I will help you pIan everything, very soon he will be the one begging for your love after he realize how precious you are . There is this common quote that says we don’t cherish what we have until we lose them.

Peace : you think it will work?

Motunrayo : its always work.

I slowly turn back to take my leave but I saw Ewatomi beside me. I was surprised to see her.

Me: Ewatomi what are you doing here.?

Ewatomi : the same thing you are doing dad.

Me: and what am I doing?

Ewatomi : don’t pretend you don’t know.

Me: I certainly don’t have any idea.

Ewatomi : okay am just leaning by the wall, as you doing and straining my ear to the air.

Me: huh?

Ewatomi : and what do we call that dad?

Me:exercising the ear, I guess.

Ewatomi : oh really?

Me: I think so. Or what do you think.

Ewatomi : I think its called eavesdropping.

Me: oh…yea, its a kind of exercise.

Ewatomi : now I know who I inherited the good hearing from. Its from your gene.

Me : am off to drinking.

Ewatomi : am off to telling her.

Me : wait a minutes, you wouldn’t do that would you?

Ewatomi : only on one condition

Me : now you want to black mail your dad.

Ewatomi : the last time I checked, eavesdropping is a punishable offense by the law.

Me : oh ooo, now she’s coating the law.

Ewatomi : are you in or not .

Me : seems I have no choice, okay let me hear you.

******* ****** ***** ***** *****

Months passed and I kept on having the same dream every day, I shared the dream with peace when Its getting too consistent

Me: that’s it, the problem is am scared of going home, what will I tell her father. the last time I checked he was a General. He will kill me if I return without his daughter.

Peace : but you have his grand daughter.

Me: do you think that will prevent him from harming me?

Peace : hmm, I think so. And besides since all this years, he wouldn’t have been the same man has you left him. Am very sure he will welcome you with open hands.

Me: hmm.. Am just scared.

Peace : you don’t need to be scared. I will go with you.

Me: thanks alot.

Peace : and I also think, you will need a company of a friend.

Me: who?.

Peace : Gbenga.

Me: oh, I never think of that.

Peace : just speak with him.

Me: I will.

Peace : and one more thing.

Me: what is that?

Peace : the truth.

Me: truth?

Peace : you have to tell Ewatomi who her real mother is.

Me : hmmm… Have been thinking about that also.

Peace : lies can go for a thousand years but the truth will come one day. She needs to know who her true mother is.

Me : hmmm… I will see to that. Perhaps I should do that now.

Peace : should I excuse you.

Me: no, you should stay. You are also part of the family. I just don’t know how ewatomi will receive the truth.

Peace : it will hurt, but it will hurt more if you delayed the truth.

I called on Ewatomi and she half run, half jump into the room with us.

Ewatomi : dad whats the problem?. You look worried.

Me : am fine…

Ewatomi : and you too mom you look sick.

Me : am not sick am okay. Your father have something serious to tell you.

Ewatomi : OK dad am listening.

Me: you see the lady in that picture .

Ewatomi : yea, what about her.?

Me: she is… Your mom.

Ewatomi : funny you. My mom is over here with me. Nice joke.

Peace : he is not joking… Am not your biological mother.

Ewatomi : please stop this joke.

Me : am sorry am just telling you now. Your mother passed away immediately after giving birth to you. Her name was Adesewa.

Ewatomi : I can’t believe this.

Peace : that’s the bitter truth Ewatomi. Am just your father friend.

Ewatomi : dad, I can’t believe you lied to me.

Me: am very sorry.

Ewatomi : just leave alone me, I don’t want to see you again.

She ran out of the room jamming the door behind her. I ran after her but she was quick to lock her room door behind her.

Peace : leave her, let her go. I will take it from here. She’s probably angry, but her heart will soon be soft then I will speak to her. You just go speak with Gbenga.

Me :hmm mm, have never see her angry before.

Peace : its normal. Now we both have a job to do.

The following week I mentioned Gbenga to see me in my office. Few minutes later he arrived.

Gbenga : good morning sir.

Me : morning sir, please sit down.

Gbenga : and thank you for the promotion.

Me : oh forget that. I want to have some talks with you.

Gbenga : OK sir.

Me: am scared of going back home.

Gbenga : you needn’t to be scared.

Me: what will I tell Gen Adelaja..

Gbenga : the truth, nothing but the truth. And besides he’s been looking for you for years. Am sure she will happily receive you.

Me: what if he don’t.

Gbenga : I would rather be optimistic.

Me: hmm mm…

Gbenga : least I forgot, my dad want to see you.

Me: your dad?

Gbenga : yea, I talk to him.

Me: and?

Gbenga : he needs you help to reunite him back with his friend, Gen Adelaja.

Me: oh.

Gbenga : don’t worry, I will be by your side when you meet him.

Me : I pray all will go well.

Gbenga : it will.

**** **** **** *** *** ****

Peace was able to change Ewatomi heart, but even after knowing the truth, she still call her mom.

So we set on the journey to Lagos. We were five in numbers. I, Ewatomi, peace, gbenga and his father. I was too scared to drive, so gbenga do the driving.

Around 4 pm in the evening we all arrived in Lagos. I took a deep breath of the evening fresh air blowing, then said to myself.

” its good to be home”.

We first drive to Michael and taiwo house, but i found to my dismay that they have relocated to somewhere else. But we are able to get their new address from the new occupant. I will want the both of them to be by my side when I meet with Gen Adelaja.

We got to their new residence, with what am seeing, they are living quite rich.

We entered inside and we met the two of devouring eba like a hungry baboon. They still never leave their old ways. Even after being blessed with wealth, they still live the old ways.

Me: last don.

Michael : who am I seeing.

Taiwo: na who be dis?

Me: its me.

Both : A.weedy!!!

Me: Na me ooo

Michael : Aye mi. Na A.weedy be this ooo.

Taiwo: see as his face dey fresh.

Michael : guy I don miss you ooo.

Me : I do too.

Taiwo: where our wife dey na.

Michael : yea, where Adesewa.

Me: she’s no longer with us.

Taiwo: wetin you mean na.

Michael : una fight?

Me: no… She has passed away.

Taiwo : Ina oooo!!!!

Michael : sango oooo!!!

Taiwo: how you take do am na.

Me: its a long story.

***** **** ***** ***** *****

At the gate of Gen Adelaja, I said a little prayer then will all entered.

I saw the old General sitting on a plastic chair enjoying the evening breeze.

I hold Ewatomi by the hand and the rest followed behind .

On sighting me, he was shocked as if he’s seeing a ghost.

“Good evening sir” I said. He looked at me with his mouth wide open. Then he rush forward and hug me. I very was surprised at his reaction, cos I wasn’t expecting something like that from him.

” kabiru!!! Come over here my joy has arrived. go and make preparation for a party ” he said to one of his guards.

I looked at him in expectation of my feared question. But it came later shortly after.

” where is Adesewa, where is my daughter ” he said. I hold on to Ewatomi tightly and take a look at peace and the rest before speaking.

” she passed away immediately after giving birth to our daughter ” I said with one mind and in expectation of the worst.

But I was surprise as I see the old man on his kneel crying. I felt a little compassion for him as I move closer to him and tried consoling him. After a while he speak up.

” is that my grand daughter ” he said.

” yes, her name is Ewatomi. Ewatomi go meet your grandfather ” I said as I push her forward to meet him. I watched as the both of them hug tightly.

” she look just like her mother, Adesewa. But its so sad that I will never get to see my daughter again. But am happy to see my granddaughter.

Have always dream of seeing my grandchild. And now the dream is here. My days in this earth are very short. But before I say goodbye to this earth. Am willing everything I have for my granddaughter and her father. Ayo I want you to find it in your heart and forgive me. I treated you wrong and I regretted ever doing that. Please forgive me” he said.

” all is well sir, you didnt wrong me. You only gave me a life lesson and am greatful for that. ” I said.

Gbenga father came forward and hug with Gen Adelaja. I know all their misunderstanding in the past would have been long forgotten.

******** ********** ******** *****

A months after, I was in a big crowded and expensive dinner party, I ran a call through to peace telling her my location and where to meet me.

After waiting for an hour she showed up but beside her was a guy, holding her closely as if they are in for a date.

Me: hello peace. You are quite late.

Peace : yes, I have to wait for my man to bring me here.

Me : your man? You didn’t tell me that you have a new driver.

Peace : funny you. He’s not my driver . he is my man. Not a driver.

Me : oh…

Peace : his name is Gabriel. Gabriel meet Ayo… A friend.

Gabriel : how do you do?

Me : I do do.

Peace : if you will excuse us, we have a date.

Me : seriously?

Gabriel : as you can see, am here for a date with her.

Me: wao!!! This is awesome.

Peace : indeed.

Me: and very hilarious. I can’t just stop laughing

Peace : I see nothing funny here.

Me: Mr Gabriel, am sorry to say this, but how much do they pay you for this soap opera.

Gabriel : pardon? Peace is he drunk. ?

Me: of cos not, perhaps it would have been better if am drunk. The question is how much do they pay you for the drama you are acting?

Peace : Ayo!!!

Gabriel : I have no idea about what you are saying.

Peace : Ayo!!! For crying out loud, you are embarrassing my man.

Me: please stop saying “my man” its sound too fake.

Peace : I don’t have your time.

Me: really?

Peace : hell yes!!!

Me: ain’t you scared of losing him forever?

Gabriel : what is he saying.

Me: you just don’t worry she knows. Hmm… I heard everything.

Peace : as in?

Me: your conversation with motunrayo, the trick, the fake lover, everything.

Peace : oh my God.

Me : Is the soap opera still on? Mr Gabriel?

Gabriel : emmm…

Peace : you son of a b---h!!

You screwed up all my plans.

Me: I will say you are being unfair this time.

Peace : it wouldn’t have make any difference to you. Would it?

Me: hell yes!!! I won’t be able to stand it.

Peace : huh?

Me: listen up everybody, can you all spare me just 5 minutes out of time. I got something to say to the woman infront of me. My apologies to does eating.

Peace : is this happening or am I dreaming?

Me: you just remain quite and let me do the talking. Mr Gabriel I need you to do the video man.

” I never have the opportunity to say this to Adesewa, but am happy I finally have someone to say this to.

I have a feeling

That I can comprehend

In my deepest thoughts your are

More than just a friend.

I wouldn’t want to

Rush us now

As love we explore

But there’s a growing love inside

That we just can’t ignore.

I love the times we

Spend together. We are comfortable

And free. I think of you when we are

Alone. I think of you and me.

We have a share

Secrets to uncover. There’s more

To life then we will both discover.

I love you always.

I’ll love you when you’re dumb,

I’ll love you when you’re smart,

I’ll love you anyway you are,

Right from the start.

I’ll love you if you’re tall

I’ll love you if you’re short,

I’ll love you if you’re pretty,

Or just an ugly dork.

I’ll love you if you’re toothless,

I’ll love you if you’re blind,

Anything that’s wrong with you,

To me you’ll be fine.

My heart is opening up now,

Unlike it used to do,

I see the pain that’s in your heart

And sometimes I feel it to.

I’ll love you tomorrow,

I’ll love you today,

I’ll love you forever,

And forever always.

Peace I have few questions for you

And I only need a answer from you.

Peace will you be the mother to my daughter.?

Will you be the mother to my child to come?

Will you grow old with me?

Will you be my life partner?

Will you marry me? ”

Everywhere was silent as the people all await a response from peace. And it came with tears and joy.

” yes! Yes! I will marry you ” she said. I reached for her finger then insert in the engagement ring.

And right there in front of anyone who cared to look, we kissed.

Not long that we disengaged our lips, that a call entered my phone I check the caller and I see that it is motunrayo.

” perfect timing ” I said to myself as I press the receive button.

Me: hello motunrayo.

Goke : this is not motunrayo, its Goke.

Me: oh Goke, guess what!

Goke : am too happy to guess right now.

Me: really? Good news travels faster. So you’ve heard?

Goke : Ay guess what?

Me: am also too happy to guess right now.

Goke: motunrayo has been put to bed.

Me: and?

Goke : she gave birth to a twins. A boy and a girl.

Me : you don’t mean it!!!

Goke: its a miracle!!!

Me: baba ibeji am on my way.

***** * ***** ****** ********

A love like you have never known, is closer than you ever think…

“Adesewa have done all that you’ve requested me to do. I know you will be happy by now. But no matter how much tume passes.. You will always be in my heart. ”
