Just as he drops his phone someone comes in through the door.
His dad
"Welcome home honey" his mother greets her husband as she starts serving his food.
Samuel gets up to prostrate "welcome sir."
"How are you my boy ?" He says as he seats down to eat the food his wife served for him. He nodds as he digs in.
" I went to the house of my friend aremu. His son owns a big of company. I told him your qualifications in case his son needs a person like you. He called his son to enquire for me but his son said the spaces are full.
But we have good news. His son gave you a sum of 1.5 million naira to help you as his father and I are close friends." His father then realized that both is wife and so. We're to quite. He looks up just to see them smiling. They were literally reeking with joy.
"Okay, is there something I don't know about?" He asked puzzled about why they were so happy.
" Common son, tell your father your great news" his mom said smiling.
He then proceeded to tell his father what happened and the opportunity for the new job.
"Wow, this is wonderful news. Two Good news in one day, things are really getting better."his father said joyful.
"Yes father, I have gotten my documents ready. Ade says to meet him to tomorrow for drinks and tell me what to do to prepare." Samuel says as he finishes his food.
"Okay. I'll send the money to your account. Use it to upgrade your standard of living. With this new job you can afford it. " His father says as he picks up his phone with his left hand while his right hand is holding a chicken lap.
"No dad, just send one million. You and mom use the five hundred thousand to take care of yourselves." Samuel says while looking at his father.
"No need. We have more than enough from our jobs . Use it for yourself. All we need money for is eating. You need it more than we do." His father says to him.
" You have been there for me since I was born literally. It's time to turn the table. Just send me the one million and from what Ade told me the job has a good pay.
"Okay son I'll send one million to you. To celebrate this good fortune, go bring my palm wine in the fridge."
" Oh you really are happy" Samuel's mother who has been quiet all this time spoke.
Watching Samuel go get the wine his father spoke "obviously, our prayers have been answered."
Samuel comes back to the dinning with three cups and a translucent bottle with white liquid inside. He dropped the cups on the table and gave the bottle to his father.
His father pours the wine onto the three glass and drop the bottle. He drops the bottle and picks up his cup.
The all raised their cups to toast.
"To the better life ahead." He says before downing his drink. His wife and son follows.
"I'm tired, I'm off to bed" his mother says packing the plates bedfor leaving the dinning table.
His father just nodded at him before taking the remaining palm wine and going to the sitting room to watch some news.
Our dear Samuel goes into his room lies down and start think about what to use his one million for.
' its to small for a car, or house. I can get some clothes maybe a suit or two. ( He starts smiling) I think I should get my own apartment. I just need a nice studio apartment, something not to big or small.
I'll just go to sleep for now.'
He turns of the light and falls asleep a while after.
..
*Thump* *thump*
The sound of a beating heat beat resounded through the room, it's more accurate to call it space.
Samuel looked around only to find him self just floating in endless light. He looks around him but can only see light.
"Wh.. where am I?" He thinks out loud . His voice just echos till it's to far for him to hear.
He then realized he wasn't wearing a single piece of cloth. He was butt naked.
"Don't....." He heard a feminine voice
"Don't what?"he asked as he heard the voice puzzled about all this
"Where am I ? What's happening to me?"
"Don't go ...." The voice says again
"What!?" Samuel shouts.
..
He gasps as he wakes up sweating a little.
"What was that about?" He thinks out loud as he picks up his phone to check the time and see if anyone has messaged him.
He only has one message from Ade.
Ade : let's meet by two o'clock at da spot.
He then replies
Samuel : okay bro no problem.
He drops his phone and gets up from his bed. He feels uncomfortable because of all the sweat so he head into the bathroom to take a shower before doing anything else today.
After a nice shower, he gets out of the shower and starts dressing. Whering light clothes he just sat as he thought of the weird dream he just had dismissed it as a weird dream that just randomly occurs.
He gets out of his room and goes to the sitting room. There his father was reading a knews paper while his mother was cooking in the kitchen.
"Good morning dad" he greets his father
"Good morning son sleep well?" His father asks still focused on his paper
"Yes sir I did. " He sist down on the couch adjacent his father.
"I was thinking since you can now take care of yourself you should move into you your own place?" His father says still fixed on the paper.
" I was thinking about it last night. Maybe a studio apartment with a sitting room and bedroom. It's better to decide after I know my pay so I can budget my expenses well."
Samuel replies
"That's a good idea" his father says
" Don't you forget you're not getting any younger. It's about time you brought a nice girl home" his mother's voice sounded from the kitchen
"I'll keep that in mind mom." he says chuckling.
" Let the boy be honey. He'll bring a hotel home when the time is right. You should know things like this are not to be rushed."
"Yeah I know just reminding him." As she says this they all laugh.
"I can't promise but I'll try to bring a girl home before a year" he says still laughing.
"Deal" she shouts from the kitchen.
They then continued their morning filled with laughter and joy.
