Chapter three
( Safe journey)
Rose and her dad Mr Christopher Okiyi was seen in a cab entering s beautiful estate.
' wow this is money, people living here are richer than the richest. I wonder why we are here'
" wow Dad, this is a super beautiful estate" I said to my dad
" yes, very beautiful indeed, we have reach dear" my Dad said to me
" Dad this person we are visiting is very rich" I said to him as I came down from the cab
' I was busy looking round the environment while my Dad knocks at the gate in front of us'
" is your boss at home" my Dad asked
" yes sir, you can come in" a voice said to him
" thanks, Rose let's enter" he said to me
We entered the sitting room and sat down one one of the cushion, while a young boy went to go and call his boss.
' I wonder who this man might be but anyways I will still find out '
" Rose, there is something that I would love to tell you" my Dad said to me
" Am all ears sir" I said as I was looking round this sitting room
" you see ehn, the money we used to sponsor you and your siblings is a borrowed money" he said to me
" I didn't get that well" I said as I cleaned my ear
" did you say borrowed money" I asked him
" yes, borrowed money" he said again
" what do you mean Dad" I asked him
" I borrowed 4million from this particular man" he said as he looked at me in the eyes
" and soo" I asked him
" I traded it with you if I could not pay back" he stop as he hold my hands
" but dad" I said as my tears refuse me to talk
"you did not tell me" I said to him
" an sorry" he said
" don't sorry me Dad" I said to him
" how can you trade me with 4million " I asked him in more tears
" am sorry baby, I don't know how it will be if I have told you, am sorry you are now his wife and that is final" he said to me as he leaves my hand
" it's not fair dad am a human being and you don't want to know how I feel about this" I said to him but there was no atom of regret in his eyes
' am doomed, what will I do, Vicent am sorry for not telling you '
" oh Mr Christopher Okiyi" a voice said
Turning to where the voice was from, it was that same man that came to our house, they greeted their self.
' father Lord save your child '
' Is she surprise, she shouldn't be but embrace this good luck coming her way'
" you are welcome to my house once again" I said to her father
I went on to hug Rose who did not care for my hug but was filled with tears and bitterness.
" oh sir she gracefully came with you" I asked
" yes, she never new, if not she won't have agreed to come with me" he said as Rose cried the more
" okay, that is nice I hope you would love me someday" I said to her
" I am Micheal and no need to tell me your name I know your name Rose" I said to her but she just rolled her eyes
' stubborn brat, I will trim that wings of yours when the right time come'
" Dad why are you doing this to me" she said to her father
" please sir what will I offer you" I asked him as we ignored her
" nothing, am on my way now" he said to me
" safe journey" I said to him
" stop crying baby girl" I said to her
" take her to her room, everything you needed is in the room" I ordered my house keeper and cook
" yes sir" my house keeper said as he led the way for her
' stubborn and bold but I still love her '
Flash back ***
Ring Ring
' who is this person that refuse to let me be after calling up to four times'
I look at the strange number, trying to remember who I gave my number, mchteew, I don't think so.
" don't you have manners, whenever you call someone more than two times, doesn't that shows that the person is busy" I said over the phone not minding who is the caller
" am sorry sir" a masculine voice said
" I don't remember giving you my number" I saw to him
" no sir, a friend of mine gave me your number, after he told me what you did for him" he said
' oh God, not again'
" how may I help you" I said to him
" am Mr Christopher Okiyi and I need your help sir" he said
" what did you want" I asked
" I need a financial help, I need some money to train my daughter and her siblings to school" he said
" come to the address that would be sent to you tomorrow" I said
" by what time sir" he asked
" 12pm" I said to him and drop my phone
" thank you sir" he said and cut the call
I know that am rude and not a perfect gentleman but I learnt never to cut a call if am not the caller
The next day***
" I don't give my money to anyone people" I said to the couple sitting on my couch
" Please sir we need the money for my daughter and her siblings education" the man begged me
" I promise you sir, we will pay back" his wife said
" if we don't pay back, do whatever you wish to us" she said again
" am not a beast or monster" I said to them harshly
" sorry sir, she is trying to give you an assurance" he begged on behalf of his wife
