Chapter 1 - Holidays

It's the last month of the year again, and everyone is returning back to their hometown and families to celebrate and rejoice. And that isn't an exception for the Richards, Holloway and Smiths.

Their children are coming back home after a long time, and the three women were really excited for this holiday.

Miss Adejoke Richard, a divorcee but also a successful business woman in the city. Her one and only child, Batife Richards was a very beautiful young lady. She moved to abroad to complete her studies and got her Bsc in marketing.

The Holloway family actually consist of the children, Ahmad Holloway and Aminah Holloway. They lost their family in a fatal car accident, the Holloway's were like distant cousins to the Richards so they considered each other as family. Aminah(Mina), also went abroad to study psychology , and she was really good at her job. Ahmad stayed behind to study law, and he was almost at the peak of his job at such a young age.

Then the Smiths, Mrs Divine Smith and her different husbands. She had a son from her first husband, Damon Smiths. He was also abroad studying engineering and was actually the pride of the family. He had many step sisters, some he doesn't even know of.

The three kids were coming back home after a long time for the holiday and they just can't wait.

" I was thinking I should send the driver, Benjamin to pick them up from the airport. What do you think?" Joke asked as she and Divine sat by the pool side in light outfits drinking wine and enjoying the sound of the music playing.

" Why would we send a driver, the kids are more special than that. Imagine sending a driver to pick them up, how will they feel?" Divine said as she dropped the cup of wine on the center table

" So are you saying.. WE, should go and get them ourselves" Joke said

" No, how about Ahmad. I mean it's holiday, he shouldn't be that busy" Divine said

" I'll give him a call" Joke said picking up one of her phones from the table

She dialed Ahmad's number, it rang for a while but he wasn't answering.

" He must be I the courtroom, I'll message him" Joke said

" I just can't wait to have my babies back, it's been like 12 years now" Divine said

" It's just 9 yrs, not even up to ten" Joke said laughing

" That shows how much I miss my kids" Divine said taking up the cup of wine again

" Well, they'll be home by tommorrow so you won't have to miss them that much" Joke said

" You know they'll be grown ups now, they'll be having boyfriend's and all. They might even bring home a fiancee or a fiance" Divine said

" Haa, your thinking is going too far" Joke said

" What, you think they're still children. Better start living to accept it so it won't shock you in the future" Divine said and her phone rang

" I have to take it" she added looking at the caller id

" It's one of your concubines abi?" Joke teased

" This one is special, he's more than that" Divine said before leaving to answer the call

Joke phone also rang, it was Ahmad calling. She dropped her glass of wine to pick up her phone and answered the call.

" Hello" she said

" I saw your miss call, I was in the courtroom" he said

" I guessed as much, the case must be serious. I mean it's holiday, you're meant to be resting" she said

" Yes, it's actually a postponed case. Some one sued an honorable son to court for rape. And today we are finding out it was the accuser dog that was raped not her. Crazy set of people wasting the court time" he said

" Sorry my dear, that's how people of this country are sometimes" she said

" I got your message, I'll surely be free tommorrow. So I'll pick them up from the airport, I've missed those kids a lot" he said

" You're not the only one, the house would be booming with noise again" she said laughing

" Okay, don't let me waste most of your time. I'll see you tomorrow then" Joke said hanging up

" Guess what?" Divine said coming back not long after Joke hanged up

" Your special person sent you money" Joke said

" Even better than that" Divine said

" What's that then?" Joke asked

" He is sponsoring our holiday, that is anything we are buying or spending from now on is on him. Even if it's as small as pure water" she said

" From now till when?" Joke asked

" Is that even important, probably when the holiday is over." She said

" Um... You and all these your people" Joke said

" Did I tell you not to go and have,you're the one forming holy Mary now" Divine said

" It is okay, let focus on the kids arrival" joke said changing topic
