Episode 17 : The Decision to Choose Love over Fear
I know her dad.. why is she here? I asked my father.
I don’t know, you should ask her..
I asked her why she had come to my fathers house, she broke down in tears..
Lucy, help me beg your father, My son Ken is in so much pain, he has lost his job cause of you, he’s badly wounded.
He’s my only child and my backbone, help me beg your father to release him..
Dad, I thought you said you were not going to arrest him??why are you doing this??
Do you enjoy seeing others in pain cause of
me??
I’m your daughter, you’re supposed to listen to me..
You did not remember you’re my daughter when you refused to take your studies serious, have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately?
You’re soo thin.. and it’s because of Ken..
I’m sorry ma, I never knew all these..
Mum please talk to dad, have mercy on kens mum and her son..
Let her son go dad..
I’m not letting him go..
You’re not moved by this old lady’s tears?? An aged woman coming to your house to plead for mercy isn’t enough reason to reconsider??
Sometimes I wonder where you get your hard heart from.
Molesting people cause you have lots of money to shut them up..
I’m glad I’m a better person.
Ken is a criminal and he must be treated like one..
What if he had a gun? He had the effrontery to walk to my house and tell him he came to see you,.. biggest mistake ever.
You’re not saying anything mum… why??
Lucy! I don’t know what else to say, I feel for her too..
You brought this upon yourself…
I’m sorry dad.. please call them… he has already lost his job..
My father called them and asked them to bring Ken..
I was still consoling his mum when Ken arrived..
He has been brutally beaten for nothing, his phone taken from him, he was bleeding..
His mother fell on my dads feet and pleaded for mercy..
I was speechless for a moment..
It wasn’t supposed to get to this level..
I’m sorry Ken.. I’m soo sorry… I wasn’t aware, forgive me 😔
I miss you Lucy.. it’s fine.. I’m not angry with you..
Dad, this is not fair.. what do you even want from me?
I want you to finally leave this man..
How possible is that?? How easy do you think it is??
It’s soo easy! Tell him to stop contacting you and I’ll free him..
What??
Yes.. soo easy..
Lucy don’t do that… I’m not ready to leave you..
You’re already injured Ken.. I want you to be safe… I’m the cause of all this.. 😢 you’re been treated like a thief…
I’m sorry about your job..
Please, call his boss and tell him it was a misunderstanding, how do you want him to survive without a job?? He has a mother to care for, rent to pay and other things to put in place…
He should have thought of that before considering to date you..
It’s not about me it’s about him.. just do the needful..
Are you ready to leave my daughter??
He’s ready to leave her.. I want my son alive..Ken mum said still kneeling down..
Are you going to leave her??
I’ll die if I leave her.. it’s better to lock me up again or better still tell them to torture me..
I can’t lose you cause if a woman Ken.. who will take care of me?? I will not bury my son.
I take back the words he said,, he will leave your daughter for you to marry..
It’s up to you Lucy..
Lucy, please don’t say it..
I can’t dad… I love him.. I’m sorry..
Then his punishment continues..
No no no no o…okay okay.. I’ll leave him.. I’ll stop seeing him…
If I ever see you with him again, I’ll take everything he owns…. Take them away..
You sat down here and watch dad say all these things,, if this is not wickedness I don’t know what to call it mum… I thought you’ve changed
Lucy, you don’t have to blame me, I’m powerless in this case.
You choose your husband over your childrens happines.. if anything happens to Ken I’ll hold you responsible…
Lucy, let’s talk outside..
We have nothing to talk about.. you couldn’t talk to dad so why do you want to talk to me?? What do you want to tell me??
I went to my sisters room and stayed there till evening…
It’s time for dinner…
We came down, sat down and I watch them as they began to eat..
You’re playing with your food.
I’m not hungry..
You have to eat..you haven’t eaten in days..
You’ll only make things worse Lucy, not eating cause if Ken is the worse thing you can do now.
You’ve taken ny happiness away from me… I find no pleasure eating..
You’ll starve
Let me starve dad.. let me starve..
I wanted to call his boss to call him for him to resume work but seems I’ll change my mind..
Change your mind… he’ll still survive.. you feel I’ll beg you again.. No.. I won’t..
How did you even try to convince those police to beat up an innocent man??
It’s all about the influence..
I’m upstairs
I miss my daughter, please just give her this last chance.. she’s hurting soo bad.. never seen her like this before… if Ken is the reason she’s acting up let them be..
Frankly speaking they’re just inlove.. they actually did not commit any crime… Lucy has stopped talking to me, she doesn’t want to see me in her room… I can’t even talk to my own daughter…my mum said.
Please dad… allow her be with the man she wants.. she’s getting sick cause she has not been eating..my sister said.
She’s not hungry… when she’s hungry she’ll eat.. and I am not changing my mind..
Lucy is still a child, she needs to be protected from men like Ken..
If she feel she needs to be with a man then she’ll leave the county or I’ll give her hand in marriage to my friends son…
I think she’ll have to make her choice..
It’s better for her to make the right decision.
Episode 18 : Blessing and Acceptance
Lucy! I see you do not want to respect yourself and leave that boy..
I have a proposal for you…
What is it dad??
You feel you cannot do without a man in your life and you think having a man completes you.
So, you know my friend?? Barrister bright,
What about him?
I’ve decided to give you another option.
You either leave the country or you marry his son..
What?? Is there no other option??
No other option..
But why??
Choose one.
You can’t force a man on Lucy. Mum mum said.
You didn’t defend me since so don’t try to defend me now..
You already made him lost his job what else do you want dad?
Are you leaving or your getting married?
Fine!! I’ll leave the country.. I can’t settle for your friends son..I’ll leave..
It’s a way of separating me from Ken.. I’ll just leave.
Good!! Get ready for your exams..
You can leave my room dad…
Lucy! I know I’ve not been a good mother to you, I am sorry, I realized how much Ken means to you and Ken is not ready to leave you.. He truly loves you too.
I am sorry I wasn’t able to talk to your father, I should have been your best friend,your companion. Forgive me, I promise to make everything right..
I’m not ready to talk to you mum..
Dad had already left.. you can leave too, it’s too late now..
I need a lone time with my sister, please leave..
Life is actually a gift from God, and honestly’ we should appreciate every day when we wake up alive..
No one is allowed to steal your joy or your happiness….
Ken has been maltreated for nothing, my father do not seem to be joking with someone’s life..
Do you know dad will die someday?? Not only dad, everyone here will definitely get old and die so why can’t we love our lives to the fullest and enjoy every bit of it??
Happiness is within, we do not look for it..
Your father said you have your choice to make, either you leave or you get married to his friend.
He is avoiding seeing you with Ken.
laughs. I don’t seem bothered, I feel he is just trying to punish Ken and make me scared
But seriously I am no longer scared..
I saw the fear and agony in ken moms eyes.. she didn’t want to loose her only child, she loves Ken and that’s what mothers do, protect their child and stand up for them.
Mum isn’t like that, she’s always lurking around dad.
Ken is not a gold digger, I have never spend any money on him before, he took care of me the times I was with him and he foot everything of my bills, he has never asked me for anything before.
Ken is the man…. Dad should really try hard to break us..
Even if I am to reconsider, I’ll leave the country, Ken deserve better.
Soo…
Nothing sis.. I just want to spend the few days, months of my life with Ken before I finally leave..
How do you do that??
I’ll go see him…
You sound like someone who is ready for dads wrath.
What else will he do?? Pay police to beat ken up again??
It was already 6am when I got up, trying to sneak out of the house, I saw my mother going to the kitchen..
She saw me, and noticed I was about leaving,,
She opened the door for me and told me to be careful and be safe.
You can’t make me love you again mum.. I don’t care what you’re trying to prove..
I was going to open the door myself and for your information I’m going to see Ken.. tell dad if he wakes up.
Lucy….. I’m sorry…
Bye mum.
I got to kens place exactly 8am.
His mum opened the door for me and was surprised to see me .
She dragged me inside and asked me what I was doing here.
I came to see Ken.. is he in??
What about your father?? Won’t he get angry??
He will, I miss your son… I want to see him before I leave..
You’re really leaving the country?
Ma’am! Where’s Ken please..
He’s not in..
😢 why? Where is he??
He’s in his room
I’m sacred…
Don’t be.. he misses you to.
I got to his room and met him dialing my number.
It’s unavailable ken.. I’m available in person.
Lucy! How did you?? My God! 😊
We hugged for minutes,
I miss you… I thought I’d never see you again.
Why would you think that? I had to come see you even it’s my last day..
I’m soo sorry for everything..
It’s okay…
I thought your mother will chase me.. she’s not angry.
My mother isn’t angry with you.. someone that fell inlove with you the first day she met you..
Opens door **.
I think I need to go back home, his mum said.
There’s no need for that mum, you can sleep here, I’m taking Ken away.
Where?
I want us to be together, I’ll pay for an hotel.
I’ll pay.
We went to the hotel and Ken paid for a week.
What are we gonna be doing here for a week? And you should have allowed me pay, you already lost your job.
I can’t get tired of you.. talking about my job.. I’m fine without a job… it’s really nothing.
I ate food after a while, I became hungry when I was with Ken, we showered..
Ken! I’m so sorry for what my dad did to you, believe me I was hurt.. I felt every pain you went through..
Did you stop loving me? Ken asked.
Noo… I didn’t.. never..I love you Ken..my feelings hasn’t changed..
I don’t want to talk anymore… I want you on me..
It’s been long and I want to feel everything I’ve missed…
Don’t be in a hurry Lucy.. I’m here for you.
I was in a hurry to have Ken, cause I know sooner or later my dad will begin to search for me, that’s if he hasn’t started looking for me.
I felt like it was my last day with Ken, he was trying to give me the NO and WAIT signal.
But I needed him….
I made the first move and kissed Ken like it was my last… He took his time to give me the satisfaction I needed.. he knows how I want it and where I want it..
What we did was based on emotions..
I finally told him I agreed to leave the country for his sake..
You can’t leave Lucy!
I need to, I can’t get married to my dads friends son either…. It’s better I leave than live the rest of my life in sadness.
I’m sorry Ken but I had to do it for you.. I want you safe.. you can own my business..
We can always communicate when I leave… I’ll come back… next week is my final exams and in three weeks time I’ll graduate and finally leave..
I’ll miss you but you deserve better..
You’re not saying anything.
I think I have nothing to say.. Ken responded wearing back his short.
Ken, understand me..I need to leave, would you be happy seeing me get married to someone that’s not you??
I’m trying to avoid future regrets…
So, you accepted to leave??
Yes..you can always come over to see me, or I’ll be visiting from time to time.
Your sister is calling me..
Hello..
Lucy! Where are you??
Miracle, if it’s about dad looking for me please I am not ready to talk cause nothing you’ll say that will make me leave here right now… it’s my last moment with Ken,, I’ll come back home when I am done.
Lucy’. Spend time with Ken… I’ll do everything possible to make your dad calm down.. don’t be scared.. my mum said.
I don’t need your help mum.. it’s too late…
Episode 19 : The Struggle for Personal Growth and Healing
I stayed more days with Ken knowing fully well that I was gonna leave him soon…
My mother never stopped calling Ken just to check on me..
It was irritating me,, this was the person you criticized and didn’t stand for.
So why are you calling now that I’ve already chosen to leave??
Can I come see you and Ken? Give me the adress.
No mum! I don’t want to see you here… I still have more days to stay before I come back home, you will see me at home.
Let me spend some time alone please, you should stop calling us..
Your father is searching for you.
It’s his job.. he should continue searching for me.. I’ll be home when I am over satisfied,, I don’t even get satisfied..
I still do not want you to leave…
What if we break up?? I can’t handle the distance…not seeing you anymore will only break me and I’ll do nothing about it..
You want a breakup cause you’re leaving??
Yes Ken 😢 I’m sorry but it’s for us.. I thought about it and I suggest we should go our separate ways.. my father will never allow it..
You don’t want to fulfill my mothers wish?? You don’t want to marry me?? Lucy please, don’t do this now that I need you.
I’ve been here for days and you think my dad won’t torture you again? He will.. he knows we’re together,, I shouldn’t have come to see you, I missed you and I couldn’t control it..
Ken… I don’t want your mother to be in pain.. seeing her cry and beg my father made me made me sad… you’re her son and a woman shouldn’t make you put your life on the line..
It’s my life not yours.. I’m not tired of you Lucy… don’t do this to me.. I’ve gone through enough for us to be together already…. I can’t just let all my sacrifices go down the drain because of your father..
I love you soo much.. don’t leave me.. don’t be scared we’ll go through it together….
I’ll miss you when I leave 😔 I should have met you first… where have you been all my life???
I’ve been searching for you…
I got you something Lucy..
What is that??
Ken brought out a phone and gave it to me.
I know your dad won’t give you a phone now, I still need to communicate with you….
Thank you 😊
But you need to stop spending your money, you’re not working..
I already told you to take over my business.
I can’t take over your business, I have mine.
Really?
Yeah,,, my mum is managing them for me… soo you stay back and manage your business.
It’s not possible to stay back… I can’t marry who I have no feelings for.
You can marry me.. don’t you believe everything will be alright soon??
Your father may eventually give up and allow us live our lives..
I’ll be going back home tomorrow…. I think I want to sleep…
Why??
Can I say something??
We can actually go somewhere and start a new life, just the two of us..
… I’ll take good care of you…
Ken… hold me please… I just want to sleep now..
I slept on kens body, it felt like home…
The next day I didn’t leave soo early, I left in the evening, and Ken went back home..
I got home, met my father outside…
Go back to where you’re coming from Lucy…
Are you serious?? Do you mean I should go back to where I am coming from??
Yes… go back…. You’ve chosen to disrespect me. I asked you not to leave this house.. it will be soo cool to actually see you watch Ken suffer again..
You left this house for a week forgetting you have an exam to prepare for…
You think you’re smart…. Ken will pay dearly for keeping you away from home…..
My mum came out.
Lucy! You’re back… get inside what are you still doing outside?
I asked her to go back to where she’s coming from.
She’s our daughter, you do not need to be harsh on her…please forgive her. My mum said.
Mum! Don’t apologize on my behalf.. I really want to go back to where I am coming from… don’t spoil this evening for me please..
Lucy!! Don’t you feel Ken has gone through much pains already?? Get inside.
I was trying to go inside when my dad dragged me just to slap me.
My mum asked him to leave me alone.
We went back inside to my room.
I was just staring at my mother as she kept talking and talking.
I’m really not interested to hear anything you have to say mum…
I’m sorry!! I should have known…. I distance myself from my children focusing on my husband cause I thought I was supposed to love him more then my girls.
I was wrong lucy!! I’m really sorry…. I love you and your sister…
Soo what do you want from me??
Second chance, you can always talk to me.
I’ll give you that second chance when nothing happens to Ken before I leave.
If dad throw any stunt now, I will not like it.
I think you should talk to him to stay away from Ken first… if there’s progress I’ll consider you, if there’s not, I am better off without a mother…
Your sister no more regard me as her mother.
Why would she? When you and dad has decided to let her handle a business that’s not her field.
She’s not living her dream she’s living your dreams, especially dads…. She’s soo scared to tell you what she really wants..
I was scared of you and dad, not until dad made Ken went through hell for a mere relationship,
I wasn’t kidnapped, I wasn’t raped….. it was my free will to date Ken…
And as a mother., I was supposed to confide in you as my friend and my mum…
Lucy! It’s okay please, I am guilty.. I am sorry….
I don’t want you to leave Ken.. I was surprised when you said Peter made you smoke and Ken made you quit.. I already sent for Peter,,
Peter deserves more than what Ken went through..
I am sorry…
Miracle didn’t talk to me too about her goals I would have supported her..
I tried to mum, but you keep saying I need to focus, I don’t need to be in a rush, you killed my vision..
Dad is here.
Lucy!! Your exams starts tomorrow.. are you prepared????
Yes I am.
Have you packed your bags to leave the country??
I’ll be needing more clothes and yes, I am ready to leave..
I need to go for shopping tomorrow… I need money.
Just give me an estimate of what you want.. I’ll provide it as soon as possible..
Peter is downstairs waiting for you.
I do not want a man coming to my house to look for you..
Inviting Peter to my house after what he did to you is Annoying and I will not take it
He’s no waiting for me I did not invite him.
Then who invited him?
I did.. my mum said.
Why? Dad responded.
Didn’t you hear what Lucy said, Peter taught her how to smoke and she was addicted, my baby girl was messing up hersef cause we neglected her..
Not taking her words serious is the worse thing that ever happened soo far.
You made her hate me.
I’m going down stairs to deal with Peter for making my daughter hold cigarette and tasting it…
Peter really did that?? My dad asked.
Yes..
We went downstairs I saw Peter asked him what he wanted.
I invited him Lucy… my mum slapped him twice.
How dare you teach my daughter how to smoke Peter, you taught her how to smoke and broke her heart.
I’m soory ma, it wasn’t intentional…I still Love her….forgive me.. I’m sorry.. I honored your invitation cause I want Lucy back.
I thought gifts are not to be taken back.. Peter, please return the car Lucy gifted you.. my mum said.
It’s of no use mum.. I won’t drive the car if he returns it…
I will sell it or give it to my brother..
Peter don’t deserve anything.
Peter knelt down…
I forgave him.. and asked him to move on.
Why Lucy?
I’m inlove with someone else..
Go check who’s at the door.
It’s kens mum.
Episode 20 : Facing the Future
Lucy what is she doing here??? My dad asked pointing at kens mum.
What else do you want to do? Haven’t you done enough??
Is Ken okay?? Is anything wrong??? I asked with curiosity.
Ken is fine… I came to confirm if you’re okay… I thought your father has done it again..
laughs. I am fine..
Turning to my dad, she said.. I’m going back home, if anything happens to my son, this time my voice will be heard…
No matter how you try to separate your daughter and my son it will not work.. I don’t want to hear any more bad news..
And if you still insist in making her leave,, I hope you find the right man for her…
I was expecting my mother to challenge her but she kept mute….
Peter was so confused as he had no idea what was going on.
You shouldn’t come to my house to talk to me in this manner… my dad said.
You also shouldn’t have maltreated my son for doing nothing….
Leave my house this minute… how can you just come to my house to say whatever you want to say??? Lucy is really giving everyone guts..
Don’t involve me dad,,, she’s only here to tell you to stay away from Ken….and she’s right..
Let me see you to the gate ma…. My mum said.
I’m not leaving yet…
Ken opened the door.
😊 awwww
What’s going on here? My dad asked with anger.
Lucy, what is this man doing here??
He came to see me dad.. I agreed to leave the country right?? Sooo why are you furious??
Did you invite him??
She didn’t invite me, I came to see my mother..
I also came to see if Lucy is alright…
I thought I told you never to come to my house to look for my daughter? My dad said.
What do you expect him to do?? My mum responded.
Lucy left, and he needed to be sure she’s alright. That’s what lovers do.. look at for each other.. my mum said.
I’ve told you to stay away from our relationship mum…
Nothing you do or say now that will soften my heart.
Ken, take your mother and leave my house.
I love Lucy and I am not here to fight you… I’ll leave but I need to speak with Lucy, I don’t need your approval..
Yes, he doesn’t need your approval.. his mum responded.
You feel you could make decisions for her cause you want her separated from me.. you feel you can offer me anything to leave Lucy
Wait! My dad offered you money to stay away from me??
Yes…. He promised to get a new job for me if I stay away from you.
But none of what he said were useful…
I can never do that.
Dad, you tried to sell me?? Why
Ken why didn’t you tell me the whole week I was with you??
I wanted everyone to know…
You can do whatever you want to do with me…let’s see if you’ll succeed this time.
Lucy is your daughter, and all that is in your head is to make her leave her home to a place you want for her..
It is against her will… and you’re becoming a bad parent.
Allow her make her choice.. we’re in love. Let us be..
A daughter sneaking out from the house to see a man, is that what you want??
Ken, I no longer sneak 😊
This is the reason Lucy must leave, she has told you soo many lies and you have the guts to talk to me in this manner
I didn’t tell him any lies.
Did you tell him everything about you?? Are you sure you’re not missing out something??
Should I tell him??
Tell him what?? I asked.
What is it that you feel I haven’t told Ken?? I don’t have a secret to hide…
We’ll know about it soon.
Dad, I respect you, don’t try to frame. Anything on me…
Walking towards ken to give him a hug 🫂
I’m fine ken… I could eat you right now..
Lucy!! Your new….. Peter asked.
Yeah…. He is..
You’ve finally left me to be with him???
What would I be doing with a man that decided to cheat on me with my friend??? I should have accepted you with open arms???
I think you should leave now….I said to Peter.
I think everyone that’s not my family should leave my house.. i do not want to call the police… my dad responded.
What will the police do again?? Do what they did to Ken last time??
Oh please dad! Are you not tired???
Ken, please take your mother and leave, don’t say anything, just go..
Lucy, I’m not scared of your father…. He’s just trying to frustrate you and make you leave me… he knows I love you but he won’t admit it
I know, but you still have to go…
Ken, since you’re not smart, I’d like to tell you the truth about Lucy.
Lucy is engaged and that’s why she’s leaving.
What?? Dad how?? Engaged to who??
Is that true? Ken asked.
Mum say something…
Ken…. Just go, I’ll see you soon..
Why?? I wanna know if you’re engaged or not.
I am not, my father is just trying to get you. Just leave.
You believe this man??
Just allow Lucy…… I wanted to tell you privately, but I’ll just say it here… my mum said.
Lucy is not leaving… I see no reason why she should leave, allow her stay here.. she’s happy and Ken loves her… my mum said.
My decision is final…. She’s leaving..
Lucy, I’m still sorry. Peter said.
Shut up! Peter, just get out please.. I said to him.
I can’t let this guy here take what belongs to me, Peter said again.
Don’t refer to me as this guy.. Ken said.
What can you do??? You’re nothing, I believe Lucy is just trying to manage you cause she had no choice.
Peter not here… and do not talk to Ken like that…. Your stay is over…
You shouldn’t have invited him in the first place mum.
I need the car Lucy got for you…
Mum, forget about the car..
I’ve had enough… everyone leave..
Let’s go Ken…
I saw Ken and his mother off to the gate..
We talked for a moment.
His mother came and ask if I am pregnant yet.
I’m not pregnant yet ma..
Why?? If you eventually leave, don’t you know the baby will be the solution to come back or not Leave at all.
Ken what have you been doing??? Can you just look at my face? I am aging. Had it been I had a daughter I would have gotten a grand child a long time ago…
You kept Lucy with you and you couldn’t reproduce with her,,
Lucy, Ken is useless …or you protect yourselves?
Ma please let’s not have this conversation..
Why not?? I need a grand child before I die.
Ken please don’t follow me, I know my way to the house.
Mum calm down, it’s not yet time..
I’m leaving….
His mum angrily opened the gate and left.
I’ll see you soon lucy…. Take care..
I went back inside, dad was still there.. peter already left and I didn’t notice.
My exams started, And finally we finished writing it.
My dad gave me money to get the stuffs I needed for my travel, I went to get my stuffs and packed my bags.
I still communicated with Ken, and invited him for my graduation 👩🎓..
Do I really have to go dad?
Yes!! You have to go…. Weekend is your graduation.. invite your friends, we’re having the party in this house.
But it’s supposed to be in school…. Then at home will be after party….
I still need hours to say goodbye to my coursemate and dine with them.
Invite them over…. I’ll get the fliers ready…
Wow, you did fliers without my consent??
Yeah!!! I already have everything planned…
Episode 21 : The Final Resolution (Love, Forgiveness, and Moving Forward)
Days Before ny graduation 👩🎓 I had already told Ken about my fathers plan,, I thought it was gonna be a huge party in school where I’d have the opportunity to spend the last minute with Ken….
But my father changed my plans…. I had an alternative though.
I want Lucy and miracle to follow me to the market,
Lucy’s graduation is just by the corner and I’d really want to make it a better one since she’s leaving immediately after the party a home… my mum said trying to persuade my father.
Okay!! You can use ny car but do not stay long.. dad responded.
I don’t think I want to go to the market mum… I really need to rest.. I said.
But you need to come with me, I want to get some shirt for printing, buy the stuffs we need to prepare for the graduation.
Lucy, let’s go.. my sister said.
I finally agreed to follow her when she drove me to a restaurant…
I saw Ken and then I realized she wanted me to see Ken and say goodbye to him one last time.
Why?? I asked her.
I wanted to make it up to you, I’m still asking for your forgiveness..
I can’t talk to you here ken…
He can take you home…. I and your sister will get everything, I’ll call you so we can leave together.
Ken orderd a ride… minutes later we arrived at his home..
Your mum left already…. I said trying to get his attention.
Yeah, she’ll be back though..what will happen to your stores 🏬??
It’s in your hands.. I’ll communicate with you…
I was already crying 😢
But you don’t have to leave Lucy..
I have to… the other option is a NO for me.. I’ll miss you.
Don’t cry okay? We’ll be fine.. I’ll try to really work hard so I can come over and be with you..
Your dad lied about you being engaged right?
Yeah, he lied.
We discussed for a long time before we started kissing… our romance ended in our lips…. It wasn’t about the time cause we had all the time to do anything we wanted to do.
But Ken wasn’t ready for anything.. he said he only wanted to kiss me…
Time Was running fast, I got a call from my mother and I left ken to meet her
I was sad, but I had no choice…
The day wasn’t long anymore as nights always draw close.
My father already gave out the fliers to people very close and far.
He reminded me constantly of my departure.
He also reminded me that he doesn’t want to see ken or Peter.
I had to let the burden off my chest, I forgave my mum and started talking to her again.
The few days I had left was somehow amazing cause my mum never left my side, she slept in my room and encouraged me to stop crying..
It was my graduation day, I wasn’t the overall best in my department but I was one of the best graduating student..
My family were present, my dad mounted himself like he owned me..
We had a mini party in school.
Peter came anyway… his parents too.
I was cool with them, greeted them.
To my surprise Ken and his mother….
My dad saw him, and advised me to be careful.
It’s my graduation, anyone can come celebrate with me..
I gave ken all the attention he needed, it was a short time party…
I took pictures with my family, with ken and his mum, my friends and some lecturers.
I attended to all my visitors, gave them food and drinks.
Vicky got me a gift… Sarah too.
We’ll miss you. I hope you find a place in your heart to forgive me.
I’m not angry with you or Peter anymore, it’s in my past now..
School celebration was over.. we got home.
The guests were already waiting for me to arrive, it isn’t my marriage ceremony, why all these guest??
They’re here to celebrate your day with you and finally tell you bye..
I got some souvenirs..
And Lucy, I don’t want to see ken in my house…
It’s my dad not yours.. I invite who I want to see, you can’t do the invite alone..
She’s right, it’s her day, so you should let her be..If my daughter gets sad today, I’ll be angry.. my mum said…
I’m upstairs, let me go change.
I called ken and he said he was on his way…
I changed my dress and joined the party, my dad gave his speech and congratulated me..
His friends gifted me items..
I noticed ken was trying to get in but the securities my dad paid we’re stopping him from coming in..
My mother went there and ordered them in.
My father was already not comfortable….
I whispered to him…. “It’s my day, don’t try to spoil it”.
He could no longer control he anger, he ordered ken and his mother out..
Why??? My mum asked him.
I don’t want them here..
But it’s my party… I responded.
And it’s my money Lucy..
I never asked for a house party dad… you knew he was going to come.. why did you embarrass him like that…??
Lucy, I just said, they were not supposed to come here…
You know what dad… since it’s your money.. enjoy your party… I’m in my room…
Lucy, calm down… the guests are watching.. my mum said.
They watched him walked them out, let them watch me walk out too… dad has been trying to frustrate me…. This is the height of it..
I went to my room and allowed them continue with the party…
After an hour the party ended.
Your flight leaves tomorrow morning…
But why?? It’s supposed to be in two days time.
Don’t you get tired?? My sister asked.
Wait!! I thought she’s leaving with me…
She’s not leaving soo soon, she’ll join you next week.
You should have allowed me spend time with my daughter….
You can visit her if you want… Lucy needs to know that she deserves better.. if she continues to stay here, she will keep embarrassing and disrespecting me..
Imagine what happend today… she walked out from her own party.
You caused it.. you should have allowed ken and his mum stay.
Mum it’s okay.. I’m already leaving in the morning, I’m as much as it is not my wish to leave, I’m glad i am leaving,.. Ken will be at peace..
My dad left my room.
I called ken and told him I was leaving in the morning.
I have an interview tomorrow morning Lucy, im sorry I will not be able to see you…. Be safe.
I, my sis and mum unwrapped the gifts 🎁 and added some items to my luggage 🧳 📦
The next morning, my dad knocked on my door and said he was waiting for me outside.
I had my bath, got dressed and rolled my box downstairs..
It was a family drive..
We got to the airport, my dad made sure I had my documents checked, and stamped.
My mum was already crying, I cried too but it wasn’t 100% for my family, it was ken..
They stayed for some minutes with me before they left, I tried to reach ken but his number was unavailable…
It was time to finally enter the ✈️ plane so the flight can commence. When someone stepped on me..
I ignored the person..
I got sitted on the plane still crying.
You should stop crying Lucy.
Ah!! This is kens voice, my head is already playing tricks with me..
I got a towel for you, and I’m sitting close to you.. can you please adjust?
I turned and it was ken..
I didn’t bother to ask what he was doing here and how he got here..
I hugged him.. 😞
Ken how did you…..
Shhhhhh…
I thought you said you were going for an interview.
Yes… this is the interview.. we’re traveling together.
It’s a lie…
I’ll do anything for you Lucy..
We’re really traveling together? Why didn’t you tell me you had everything planned out…
I told you I was working hard to for you and my mother..
I’ll follow you anywhere you go..
We’ll talk about everything when we get to our destination…
We sat together, slept together on the plane.. I was at peace and I really appreciate my father for his decision..
I can finally be with ken.
We arrived at our destination after some hours.
Called my dad on video call 😊 and he was shocked to see us together.
I hope you do not have BP dad..
How did ken……..
I don’t know yet, when he tells me I’ll tell you dad… thank you…I’ll be needing your money to get some stuffs 😊..
My mother and sister laughed…
We called his mother and the first thing she said was “ Ken, I’m still trying to stay young for my grandchild “” get her pregnant already.. you’re my only child and I don’t want loneliness to kill me”” bye.
I told my mother to handle your stores for you, you can still switch and tell your mother or your sister.. ken said…
I no longer care… anyone can handle it.. I just want to handle you tonight.. 😊
I’d love to hear how you managed to get a visa and board same plane with me after eating food and eating me… 😊
Let’s get married… my mother will join us soon if you’re pregnant… she needs a baby.. and I need to marry you. 😊
I already secured a job..
A night of peace and joy after a long time..
The End
