At the arena.
"As today's match comes to an end, the
victory of this year's family tournament
belongs to Ogunleye; come up to the
stage to receive your reward from the
elder."
The instructor said:
Ogunleye climbed the stage, waiting for
the elder in charge to bring him his
reward.
When unexpected familiar faces show
up, which surprise Ogunleye and
everyone present,
"Why is the patriarch showing up on the
stage?"
"What do you mean, is he not his son?
Why can't he show up?"
"Maybe he is proud of his son."
There was a lot of discussion coming out
of the crowds.
On the arena.
"Are you not happy to see me?" Looking
at his son.
"That's not it, you show...ha, I am just
surprised."
Ogunleye bowing to his father.
"Ok, back to today's business; take the
iron condensed pill."
Passing the pill box to his son.
"Yes, thank you very much, Fa...clan
leader."
Stretching his hands and accepting the
pill box.
The patriarch turned to leave as he
suddenly stopped, clearing his throat.
"In three weeks, meet me at my
chamber."
"Ok, understood."
The patriarch take his leave ,as
Ogunleye was lost in his thought as he
walks to his villa.
"Why will he want to see me, or did he
really care? No, no, no am thinking too
much."
Nodding his head.
Ogunleye was close to his villa when he
saw a figure sitting in front of his room.
It was his cousin's sister.
She is the elder Ogunbiyi daughter,
she is 11 years old this year.
"Big brother I have been waiting. Wow,
you are really incredible today. I was
persuading my father to remove you
from the participants in the challenge,
but who will believe that they were all at
your mercy?"
She said,as she moves around his big
brother.
"What brings you here today,
Ogunwumi?"
He asked in a faint voice.
"Ha, we have not met for a while, and
you are already acting codling towards
me; at least bring me inside if you are not
going to serve me anything."
She said,folding her hand.
Ogunleye opens the door,
Ogunwumi follows him as he enters. She
sit on the floor in front of a table while
Ogunleye prepares tea.
As he on his way bringing the tea.
"When are you leaving for the Orthodox
college?" She asked.
Ogunleye placed the tea jug and two tea
cups on the table.
"Not sure, as I have not yet been
informed.
Why did you ask?" He responded as he
carried the cup of tea to drink.
"I'm not really sure. Big brother, do you
have a woman you love or some kind of
lady you want to spend your life with?"
She asked eagerly.
Ogunleye threw out the tea from his
mouth at Ogunwumi as he coughed.
"Why are you bringing up such a topic?
It's getting dark. Tell me why you are
here."
changing the topic as he refill his cup.
Ogunwumi looked dissatisfied as the
topic was changed but could not do
anything about it.
"My father sent me here to pass you this
box.It contains bone and marrow
strengthening pill.
He also said not to waste the effects of
this pill and the one given to you on the
arena."
Passing the pill to Ogunleye.
"Thank you, I really appreciate it.Send
my regards to you, father,"
as he walks Ogunwumi out of his room.
"Hey, big brother, I have made up my
mind. I am going to get stronger enough
to be beside you and not give any other
woman a chance." Clenching her fist.
"Did you want me to kick, or take your
leave?" He Said embarrassely.
"Big brother, wait a little longer." waving
her hands as she leaves, leaving
Ogunleye blushing.
After 30 minutes of Ogunwumi departure
Ogunleye sit down, placing the two pill
boxes in front of him.
