Chapter sixty four
REUNION
Kris is seen at the location of his father. He takes a deep breath and goes to ring the bell on the door. The door bell rings twice before he gets a reply
Man: I'm coming…
Kris: (smiling nervously)
Man: (Opens the door) Hello young man, how may I help you?
Kris: Um, good afternoon Da…sir….
Man: Afternoon. Anything the matter?
Kris: Um, My name is Kris, Kris Diego Adams
Man: Your name is familiar…..Oh! You're that popular basketball player.
It's a pleasure meeting with you (extends his hands for an handshake)
Kris: It's a pleasure meeting you too sir (takes his hands)
Man: Come in please. (They go in)
With you gracing me with your presence, I hope I'm not in some kind of trouble
Kris: Not at all sir
Um, you don't by anyway know this name, I mean my name, a person having exactly my names?
You don't have connections with them?
Man: I don't get what you are saying but let's pretend like I do,
So you want to know if I know some Kris Diego Adams?
Kris: Yes, that is it sir
Man: I don't think I do
Kris: How about… (Brings out a necklace and shows it to him)
Man: Diego, my son….
Kris: I'm Diego sir
Man: (Gets up in surprise) I've looked for you, everywhere
I got back but couldn't find your mother, I asked the whereabouts of you, I couldn't get any information
I missed you so much, my boy
Kris: (Stands up) I miss you too
(They hug)
Man: How have you been?
Kris: I've been good. Been popular and all. Mom introduced me into the movie industry, I was in a pop band, and now a renowned Basketballer
Man: I'm proud, so proud at the man you've become (They sit down)
How's your mother?
Kris: She's doing well in the heavens or spirit world….
Man: She's no more?
Kris: Yeap, died 10 years ago due to lungs cancer
Man: Oh my!
I so wish I can see again and hold her hands and just…see her again
May she rest in peace
Kris: She's resting fine
You've got a lot to catch up man. You really do
My twins look like Mom in a way, they got her eyes and smile.
I see mom in them everyday
Man: You've got twins?
Kris: Yes, and they're beautiful
Man: That's great
How about your wife?
Kris: I'm not married. I got my twins in a one night stand, or two nights stand…. I don't know
Anyways, it just happened and I have them
Their mom is an independent woman, she got her own boyfriend or boyfriends whatever
I've got my children and they get to see their mom sometimes
Man: Oh, well.. atleast, you got your children and you know where their mother is, compared to me
Kris: It's the past, let's let it slide
But damn, I know where my beauty comes from
Man: Your man's a handsome hot dude
(They laugh)
Kris: So….
How's your children and wife?
Man: Not married. Only got a daughter whose nowhere to be found…..she ran away and got married to some Asian guy and since then I haven't laid my eyes on her
Been 13 years now
I accept it though
It's a good punishment for being the worst father on Earth…. I couldn't even watch my son grow and the daughter I watched grow, I spoilt her rotten
All good for me
Kris: Well, that's life for you
My step Dad has been the worst. He hated on me and never hid it.
Don't care though, never cared
Man: But it hurt sometime, right?
Kris: It did. But I got used to it.
Did you know that the stupid man denied my access to my own properties?
Things my own mom kept for me
Man: Do you really want them?
Kris: I do
I want them because it makes me feel legitimate
It hurts much that even with my influence I can't get them!
Man: I'll get them for you. Just relax
Got one question tho
You want to get them the legal way or illegal?
Kris: Hmm… I like you already.. (smirks)
Got my DUNGEON but mom made me promise not to use it to injure anyone close
Man: She didn't make me promise…
Kris: (Grins) Perfect way to get my revenge on this man!

The kids can be seen in school having their sport's break
Lola walks up to Diego
Lola: Hello wonder boy
Diego: It's Diego
Lola: The town was named after you (smirks sarcastically)
Diego: How are you Lola?
Lola: Wow.

I see that you have gone through the internet
Diego: Yes
Plus, I have met your sister before and I got curious so I went through the internet
Lola: Nice
Diego : Yeah
Lola: Haven't got any friends yet?
Diego: Just you and your twin

Diego: I saw
Lola: He's your role model?
Diego: Not really,
I just love playing the game right from kindergarten
Lola: How about you come to my house and meet with my dad?
You'll probably learn some skills or something from him
Diego: I don't know…..
Lola: He's home today
You can come after school
Diego: Are you sure he would like me to come?
Lola: Dad would be happy my sis and I had a friend over
He has always talked about us being without friends
Diego: Alright

Diego: How about your mom?
Lola: She doesn't live with us
And don't worry, Lila would be more than glad to you have you over

I'll have to take permission from mom though, but I know she won't say no
Lola: Double great!
