Ronald is very happy about his call earlier, he is damn sure this is going to hit Mel like a wave and before she knows it, she will be back into his life like how it is supposed to be….. he has talked to the Media guys and soon they will meet on how to carry on with their little plan……… he sits down in his father’s compound for the first time he is home ever since he got back and bumped on Melanie…… He’s deep in thoughts and socking himself in alcohol that he didn’t see or hear Rebecca come
“We need to talk” Ron looks up and the anger he has been holding ever since he saw Mel and that bastard rapist getting cozy explodes
“Not now Becky” he tries so much not so sound so mad
“You can’t tell me that crap Ronald…. how long has it been ever since we came back huh…..all you do is leave home very Early in the morning and come back late drunk…..if you’re not in a hurry, you’re in a bad shape to even talk, always in a bad mood….what’s going on”
“Listen to yourself, do you think I really deserve to answer that crap”
“Oh yeah you do…..I’m your girlfriend, your woman and we are supposed to get married soon anyways”
“Well I’m having a second thought about that though….. some things can’t be forged and this is one of them”
“Meaning…..”
“I don’t love you….I have never and I will never”
“But back in Zambia you told me you loved me….love can’t just end like that”
“Well I lied…..I lied and please, if you don’t mind I have a much bigger problem at hand and I don’t need you to add more….. you can go back to Zambia if you’re tired of here…..Excuse me” Becky gets into his face
“It’s because of a woman right? it’s that same woman we met few days back right”
“Why should I even answer you…..but if you want to know I will tell you” he moves to her face this time
“Yes it’s because of her…..the only woman I have ever loved and can only care to marry” he walks away from her
“You will pay fro this I swear you bastard” she keeps on hauling insults at him but he pays deaf ears, he has just walked a few metres when he receives a call…..it’s David calling
“Hello Patrick have you already thought about our deal”
“I’m in this already, we can even give you all the proofs you need to destroy him but I want to know what we as his ex friends stand to gain in all of this”
“Good you’re now talking……” he walks further deep in the compound where no one can be able to peep and spy on his conversation
“You see, when a man loves something, he goes to extra miles just to be sure he gets that he wants….I have done quite a lot of investigation about Tobi and I have realised he has actually opened some businesses for Melanie, businesses that are big….. just imagine Melanie sending his sorry ass to prison for years of course with my help…. she will be mine and we get to become even more richer……I know what you’re capable of, you worked with him for years and giving you positions and some reasonable amount of money as compensation wouldn’t be a bad idea”
“Sounds good but that’s a future tense…..you have to convince me that I’m not making a mistaken doing business with you now….what do you say”
“OK OK…..let’s not beat around the Bush……meet me at ceford and let’s get done with this….. come with the proof and I’m coming with whatever you want…..for Melanie I’m capable of anything………that man has to pay…he doesn’t deserve her love”……..
Ofelia and Jessy hear the sound of a car and they get curious
” Is that Mac ” Ofelia asks
“I don’t know……… but I don’t think so”
“That’s my daddy’s car” Mira jumps up and the two women laugh at her crazy idea
“I know it…..Daddy has brought mummy back and I’m sure of it” she runs out and her grannies follow her……….Tobi packs his car and as usual comes down to open the door for Mel, Ofelia is so shocked and rubs her eyes to see if what she sees is true
“Daddy….” Mira screams and Tobi turns sharply
“Sweetheart please come give Daddy a hug and a kiss” they are too excited as Mira runs and throws herself on her father….. for a moment in Tobi’s eyes, no one else exists but only his daughter…. he didn’t even realize he’s sitting down on the floor as he’s taken up by her presence
“My booboo kiddy….. I missed you…. how are you”
“Happy now that you’re here…..have you come to take us back home with you”
“Mira….Dad only just came….” Mel tries to reprimand her but Tobi stops her
“It’s OK Darling, let the child be” he turns her around and plays with her hair
“If you wish to go back with Daddy just say it” he says with a smile as he looks at Mel who is shocked he’s trying to use the child to bring them back home
“I want to Dad…. but are you not mad at mummy anymore, are you people not having problems anymore” Tobi looks at Mel with a look of caution…..Ofelia and Jessy have already returned in the house and they are so happy too……Tobi gets up and stands holding Mira’s hand
“Sweety, can you run back to the house and tell Grandma to make daddy some tea”
“But we have hot water in the flask” Mel steps in before Tobi van say more
“Mira….that water must be cold by now…tell Granny or aunt Jessy to hit it over….is that OK”
“OK Mummy” she runs and Tobi turns to Mel
“Don’t give me that look” she says
“Babe….seriously since when have we started telling these things to Mira”
“You’re not suspecting me or are you”
“Let’s go in…..” he leads the way but reminds her this isn’t good
“But you also know how sharp your daughter is, she probably sensed something wrong…. remember we were apart and she might have asked her Granny and my mother thought that was probably the best way to help the situation…..” they leave to go inside and once there, everything is all happy and Merry, Ofelia is happy Mel was able to forgive Tobi and Tobi says all thanks to her………they didn’t move back home immediately but took a few days to do so, Tobi feels like a new born baby, he’s in love and there is no doubt about that…. He’s so happy he’s able to love Melanie purely this time with no lies and burden to Carry….. Mel on her part is sure her husband’s love for her has multiplied as much as her love for him has…..they can’t leave without each other and only what they feel matter to themselves……. Tobi made sure Mel got what she wanted when she said they should date for a while…… he spoilt and pampered her until when she said she wanted to go back home…..the most interesting part of their dating was when she would always sneak and spend a night at his place like they were still dating…. she still hasn’t told him she’s pregnant but she’s started to show yet he thinks she’s just happy and healthy………. the day finally arrived for them to move back to home…..it was like a party, Jane and her husband invited, Monica too came and the rest of Tobi’s family…….. Tobi was jealous for Jane is pregnant, he wishes Mel could be also, he misses seeing her pregnant….. he plans on discussing it with her soon, the party didn’t take long because the next morning, school is starting and Mira has to be in school…… they ended it early but Tobi the organiser felt real tired…. he asks Mel to drive Mira to school the next morning as he needs the rest………
Early the next day, Mel wakes up and prepares Mira for school early enough, she made sure she didn’t wake up her husband and tells Mira she can’t say good morning to Daddy today…she feeds the little girl and they hit the road, she’s really in good spirit today but she doesn’t know why as she keeps on singing ‘Today is my day’ by Baguma all the way to school …… she drops Mira in school and all the teachers are surprised that she’s the first person, and no parent is in sight….. her next stop is at the supermarket where she picks up a few things, she needs to go fix something nice for her husband, she doesn’t think they will go to the officer today…. she’s still not an expert in driving because she still has fears for the wheel and prefers her husband be the one who drives them around, she hits the road back home in her usual speed……..
Tobi who was Wedding Mel in his beautiful dream is woken up suddenly by a call that comes from Mac, he’s annoyed because they had reached the point of saying their vows and he loved every part of this wedding….
“What’s it now…Mac…why can’t you do without calling me”
“Tobi where are you”
“Home of course….as a matter of fact you woke me up from sleep and I can’t forgive you for that”
“Stay there and don’t move”
“What’s going on….”
“Tell Mel to stay put too…don’t move I’m coming, your home is surrounded by reporters by reporters….I’m coming and I will explain everything to you there”
“Whaaat?”…. he gets up and runs to the window, he peeps out and he finds out it true
” Melanie.. where is she…What’s going….what’s going on here, I don’t get it… ” she’s not there
“Her phone…..her phone..” he calls and it’s ringing on bed
“Damn!!??”……
