**Despite all odds** episode 46 Kemi stirred in her sleep, she just wouldnt wake up; the baby in her womb was busy throwing tantrums -kicking and moving leisurely in its own world. She definitely wont give the stubborn baby the joy of giving her sleepless nights, slapping her abdomen softly she settled back to sleep. On a normal night, the child would stop moving, but this time around its momentum soared. stubborn thing. she hissed slapping her bulging tummy again. Honey? she searched the bed with her hands. your baby is disturbing again o. she complained sleepily. No reply. She stopped searching with her hands and sat up, her husband was no where around the room. Where on earth is this man? - she mused getting off bed. Tunji! she called out sharply putting on her bedroom slippers. Hey baby, whats up. Tunji walked into the room The ceiling! Where did you go to? I was kinda hungry, so I went to the kitchen to grab a bite. Tunji explained. grabbing a bite? And the thing you put in my womb is bent on giving me sleepless nights. she continued to rant. a ..sorry... he laughed keeping his phone on the dresser. when did you start taking your phone with you to the kitchen? Or it was grabbing a bite too? Kemi asked with sarcasm. Nothing really. a shadow of guilt passed across his face. Kemi stared at him doubtfully, her hand reached for his phone, but he took it from her. Tunji lemme have that phone. Its not yours. Tunji, I wont repeat myself. cmon, what do you want my phone for? see what you wanna see. he pushed the phone into her hands. She scrolled through his text messages, then to his call log. well so? Did you happen to find anything? Tunji teased. No.. Kemi started to smile but her smile was a shortlived one. Cassie? What are you discussing with Cassie by this time of the night? she asked. You guys even talked for almost an hour? she faced him squarely. Nothing really much, just chatting...you know its been long I saw my sister in-law. Tunji winked. But its still an ungodly time. Kemi stated-unsatisfied. Okay sorry...ema binu. which reminds me, its been long I spoke to Sasha, mum didnt mention her when we spoke this morning, did Cassie say anything about her? Kemi asked walking back to bed. Yea, shes very fine. Shes still savouring the Port. He smiled, though he knew it was far from the truth. Kemi cackled missing her, Cant wait to have her back here. Not after I give you some massage. Tunji grinned, pushing her gently to a lying position,his hands proceeded to work on her waist. *********** Kenny fixed his gaze on the sky from his hotel room; it was beautifully garnished with stars of different sizes, one was bigger than the rest- shining proudly as if to tell the others you aint my level. He pressed his head against the window pane as soft breeze caressed his face- thinking about the events of the day before. The doctor had said its just a reflex action. Reflex action? Now cmon doc, she tapped her fingers! You call that reflex? he had cried with unbelief. my boy, its reflex okay? Doctor Krishna patted his head before proceeding to refix some tubes on Sasha. Kenny sighed heavily, shifting from one feet to the other; he was filled with joy and great expectation, but the doctor soiled it all with the word reflex. He tapped his own fingers on the window panes. Now this aint reflex, I did it intentionally.he mused to himself. A car zoomed past, catching his attention, some cars too were moving on the tarred road. oh my! Dont tell me its day break. he turned to the wall clock. my my! he exclaimed when he saw the wall clock read 4:30am. I didnt sleep today again. he hissed, returning his gaze to the sky. The smaller stars had disappeared, only the large one was still blinking dimly. Come-in. he muttered as he heard a soft knock on the door. Ken, you arent ready yet? Jide strolled into the room. Kenny rolled his eyes. Ken, weve got a flight to catch by 5:30, weve got to see Sasha before leaving. Daddy, I dont wanna go back home without Sasha, lemme stay till shes fine, please. Kenny tried again, hed been pleading with his father not to take him back to Nigeria all in vain. Kenny! Get ready now. But dad... Kenny! Okay then. Kenny frowned pulling himself from the window. I wish I have my own money, I wont have you bossing me around cos you paid for my ticket and lodge. Kenny grumbled to the bathroom. Jide shook his head, he wasnt happy leaving too, but work demands, there are issues he needed to help Williams settle at his company. No choice at all.
