Despite All Odds »»»Episode 32 ********** Cassandra aligned her request’ one after the other on her mind’s slate. Her coming home to spend the weekend wasn’t going to be fruitless. Her father’s pocket must ‘shake’ after all he’s rich. She need a car- she’s tired taking cabs all around town. Her pocket money should be doubled- she’s tired of managing foodstuffs. She need’ a brand new laptop-her present one is looking old and outdated. Lastly, she needs special allowances for her hair, clothes, shoes, bags, jewelleries et’al. “Thank you.” she muttered as the cab which brought her sped away. Glancing at her wristwatch, she grimaced. Its a saturday, her parents should still be home by 10am. “Mallam, how far?” she hailed the gateman who didn’t seem to notice her but was busy quarelling with a ‘strange’ man. “Mallam open gate for me jor, You can’t even reply my greetings.” she hissed at him. “Small madam! I dey welcome o!” the gateman welcomed her. “Hmm, its too early to fight o, who’s your fighting patner sef?” she asked. “It’s this inyamiri o! He come say I dey look for Joy!” the gate man explained. “Joy? Does this place look like Joy’s house? Who are you by the way?” “My name is John! I want to see Joy!” the stranger replied. “John? Joy told you she lives here?” Cassandra asked. “I know she lives here! I want to see her now, else I won’t leave here o!” he threatened. “Are you high or something? I said nobody like Joy lives here” she snapped. Cassandra made to walk into the house but stopped at impulse. “Joy? You meant to say Joyce?” she asked. “Yes now!” John replied. “Wow…who’s she to you?” she wanted to be sure. “My girl! She’s even pregnant for me sef!” John affirmed Cassandra could only gape at him, was he serious at all? “Mr man! The only Joyce we have here is my father’s wife, okay? ” “I know what I’m saying! If you think I’m telling lies, ask the Joy herself” he replied looking agitated. “can’t you understand simple English? Ehn? I said we don’t have any Joy here, we only have Joyce who isn’t a ‘girl’ as you said.” Cassandra was beginning to get irritated. “Sister cool down first! Let the Joy see me first nah!” “come with me.” she waved him in. “Small madam? I dey let am enter for house?” The gateman protested. “Mallam shut up!” Cassandra hushed him as she led the stranger into the main building; Fear plus excitement creeping into her veins. “Big boy, what’s up with you?” she hugged Kola who answered the door. “Hey guys!” she waved at Kenny and Sasha who were busy playing cards. “Don’t tell me you’re on holiday already? And who’s that hungry looking man beside you? Your boyfriend?” Sasha asked eyeing her. “Sasha Williams, I came to my father’s house okay?” Cassandra retorted. “And that man is?” Kenny pointed at John who was standing by the door. “He’s here to see Joyce!” she replied. “Where’s dad?” “Dad wen’t to the golf club, and mum went with him.” Kola replied taking her bag. “Where’s Joyce?” “Went out.” “Mr John, you heard? The Joyce we have here isn’t home, gerrit?” Cassandra explained. “Okay then! I’ll leave! But I’ll surely come back o! I’ll come back!” John sauntered out of the room banging the door behind him. “Who’s he?” Sasha asked. “He said his name is John, that Joyce is his girl..bla bla bla..” Cassandra replied picking up the cards. “He looks like an armed robber to me.” Kola chirped. “Armed robber ke? Did you see him with any weapon?” Kenny laughed. “Sasha are you sure he’s not the ‘John’ that omo Ibo is talking to everyday on phone?” “Yesss oo! You have a point!It might be him o!” Sasha replied in gossip fashion. “we made a mistake, we should have told him when she’d come back!” Kenny clapped. “Never mind! He’d come back soon, I’m glad I’ll be here to watch the drama! For now, everybody should just seal up!” Cassndra instructed. “kilon kan mi? I always knew that pregnancy is a setup!” Sasha shrugged. “Same here! I so wish the drama unfolds the way we want it” Kenny said excited. “amen o” they chorused. “Cassie welcome o” Sasha said to the amusement of the others. “You’re just seeing me now abi?” Cassandra threw a pillow at her. “Hmn, cassie, you missed alot o! Plenty gist on ground.” Sasha laughed catching the pillow. “My ears are itching already.” Cassndra scratched her ears. “Amebo!” the duo chorused running in different directions as she chased them about.
