***Despite All Odds *** Episode 15 *********** Barbra grinned, as her son danced into the living room, he looked so excited-like he won a lottery. “Daddy…mummy…Cassie…you’ll all soon miss me…” Kola sang matching his dance steps. “so what’s up?” Cassandra asked, her eyes glued to her phone’s screen. “You’ll miss me o!” Kola slumped beside his father. “Tell me.” Williams enquired. “Sasha just called, and guess what? Aunty Kemi said I and Kenny could come over!” Kola hugged his father excited. “Wow..so did she ask after us?” Barbra asked. The last time she spoke to her daughter was when she left for Lagos. “Yea, she sends her regards.” Kola replied catching his breathe. “I guess she didn’t include my name.” Cassandra looked up. “Why say so?” Kola enquired. “she hardly picks my calls.” Cassandra replied pained. Deep within her she still loved her sister. Same here, Williams almost voiced out. He had called his daughter countless times, but she never picked. He only resolved asking after her from Kemi. “You caused it yourself, you made her hate you.” Kola said accusingly. “Whatever.” Cassandra rolled her eyes. “Maaamiii” Kola cooed cuddling his mother. “Kola leave me! You’re no longer a kid” Barbra slapped his hands away. “Leave my wife alone for me.” Williams pushed Kola away. “No she’s my mother.” Kola protested in a childish voice. “Shameless small man, stop touching my wife jor!” Williams laughed, glad for the change of topic. “Kola leave his wife nah!” Cassandra joined. “mummy you see ko?” Kola pouted. “Ah ahn! Leave my son alone for me o, he’s my last born o, omo daada” Barbra crooned, “Ehen! Me I’m not omo daada abi?” Cassandra laughed. “Nobody is like my last born o.” Barbra, lifted Kola to her laps. “Ehn ehn! What about me?” Cassandra rushed to secure her own position, same time colliding into her father who was on the same mission. They all fell on the rug, laughing out loud. *********** “So this your friend we’re going to see, is he married?” Sasha asked Folake as they hailed a taxi. “Yea, we agreed to meet in Lagos, we’ll be travelling to Paris this weekend.” Folake explained. “Hmm” Sasha was engrossed in her own thoughts, having Kenny around her was like having her other half. “Madam, you say First villa chic’n’beef koh?” the taxi driver enquired. “Yea” “we don reach” he replied fitting taxi into the parking lot. Sasha straightened her dress as they walked into the restaurant. “What the heck! This man came with his son again?” Folake muttered looking disappointed. At the far end, sat an elderly man with a young man in his mid twenties. The elderly man rose to his feet as they approached him. “Hy, how are you?” folake tried to sound casual. The young man looked up to shake her hands, he waved at Sasha only to look back at her again, his face registering recognition. “Sasha?” Micheal asked in disbelief “Mike?” Sasha flew into his arms. “Oh my God! is this you?” Micheal looked her over. “What are you doing here?” they both chorused before hugging each other. “Dad…she’s my friend-portharcourt.” Micheal told his father who was just staring “Yea..” Sasha smiled at Folake. “Come.e…you must tell me what happened.” Micheal led her to a different table. “Wow, what luck.” Mr Amaechi sighed, sitting down. Folake sat too, very happy she brought Sasha along. Who would believe Sasha would take Mike out of her sight. “so how is it gonna be like?” Folake asked. “Yea, we’ll be travelling this weekend.” Amaechi smiled. “Oh my God!” Folake almost screamed. Her dream of a most romantic weekend with her lover was unfolding. At their table, Sasha and Micheal engaged each other in a more serious discussion, she told him about her journey to lagos. He sympathized with her. “So who’s she to you?” Mike gestured towards Folake. “Kemi’s sister-inlaw, who’s she to your dad?” Sasha asked “He said, she’s his business client, but I don’t think so.” Micheal replied. “I don’t think so too.” Sasha grimaced “That why mum asked me to come with dad.” Micheal explained shaking his head. Sasha felt sorry for him. “I heard, they’ll be travelling this weekend to paris.” Sasha chirped. “Yea, I’ll be going with them” Micheal announced. “hey..we can soil their plans, stop the journey or make it miserable.” Sasha suggested “No…” “Never mind leave the job to me!” Sasha cut him short, her eyes glinting. Micheal laughed taking her hands in his, “I missed you.” “Same here.” Sasha laughed. WATCHOUT FOR EPISODE 16 Time / Target: 7Likes
