Episode 14
I was with tunde, we discussed for a while at the sitting room while my father and the governors son had left, we talked about how we almost got caught, but tunde looked very worried, I knew he wasn't thinking straight, all he was thinking of was how he was going to cope on the governors son arrival, even as we watched the movies together he wasn't himself, he felt he is gradually loosing something, I felt it, but he didn't notice, we got along for a few hours then my dad came home.
Dad: shade I'm back, come and give me a hug.
Me: oh daddy, I'm really sad you took such decisive action to let the governors.Son come stay with us, I mean common dad, I'm not even used to him.
Dad: hmmm, so you're used to some other guy? Well show me the guy you are used to?
**I was starting to feel comfortable with his statements, and I thought this will be the right moment for me to tell him about my relationship with Tunde**
Me: so daddy you mean I should tell you the guy I'm used to?
Dad: yes tell, so that i can kill the guy with my bare hands
***i was really scared to hear this, I felt very thankful to my stars for not letting and opening up to him about my relationship with tunde***
Me: oh daddy, you mean you will kill!? The father I know won't hurt a fly, anyway I'm just joking I have no other guy, but seriously dad, I think you're really being hard on me this past few days...
Dad: Shade, you see, when I meet your mom, she was the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me, I never knew what I'll do without her, I loved her and she loved me too, to cut this brief, I want you and the governor.son to get married and be just as me and your mom where.
****i laughed out loud inside just to make sure I wasn't disrespectful to him when I heard this funny story he narrated, fathers are just good at mind control, he stated clearly that he loved his wife, and I'm sure my mom loved him well, but as for me I don't love the governors son, so he was like indirectly feeding me with poison by force***
Me: okay dad, I know mom loved you too, and I'm proud to be a part of this family.
Dad: okay honey, it's night already, you should goto your room now.. Before I forget has tunde ironed my clothes for the meeting?
Me: Yes, he has.
Dad: okay, he's really intelligent and hard working, I'm proud to be his sponsor. I even forgot to tell you how we struggled before we could search his room. You missed a lot. I wonder why you disappeared.
Me: oh daddy, please don't bring about that topic again, and also tunde is the most truthful person I've ever meet, believe me dad, he is a really honest, God fearing and pleasant person.
Dad: okay, okay, goodnight.
***i hate having pep talks, but this one was worth it though, and I lied again, tunde did not iron his clothes, I had to lie to cover up for him, he has been through a lot of stress lately so I felt I had to lie to let him rest a bit****
I went to my dad wardrobe that night, picked his clothes and did the ironing myself, as I was ironing, the iron got too hurt and burnt my fathers clothes, now I'm in big trouble, I hurried to tunde's room and called him and told him my dad clothes got burnt he was very upset why I never told him my dad asked him to do the ironing, we thought and thought, but the only plan was to buy a new cloth, so I sneaked to my dad room and searched his trouser pockets, and brought out some cash and gave tunde to Buy the exact type of that dress. And he bought it within a few hours and he came back home and it already looked ironed.
The next morning came fast, my dad was already up, and tunde had already made breakfast and was handling other chores.
Dad: wow, tunde, you really are good in ironing, my shirts looks good as new.
Tunde: ah sir, it's nothing, it's my duty sir, and I'm happy you appreciate it sir.
Dad: okay, keep it up, I'll surprise you one of this days.
Tunde: okay thank you sir.
Me: daddy, he's really trying.
**before I could say anymore words, I heard a horn on the gate, I peeped to see who it was, oh no, it was the governors.son, he didn't even let the sunshine come, he has already arrived with his luggage.***
Dad: ah, the governors.son is here, tunde go and help him with his luggage.
Tunde: **with a frown on his face** okay sir.
Gov.Son: wow, I'm so happy to be back here, I'll be staying here for a very long time, with my future queen, miss shade, come, tunde, pack all my things and keep inside, be fast or I'll have to give you a heavy knock.
Tunde: hmmm, that's very funny sir, so you can knock? I never knew you had such skills.
Gov.son: please, you have to behave like a calm and humble servant if you want me to dash you some money before I leave...
Tunde: hmmm that was even funnier I forgot to laugh....
Dad: show some respect tunde, you're just a servant,and you have no right to insult the gov.Son, as he's now staying here, I want you to treat him as a guest with respect and honor.
Tunde: *Sigh*
Dad: please dammy, you have to start getting used to him and stop being childish.
Me: enough guy talk here, let's go inside people. I'm starting to feel bored already.
Governor.Son: okay darling. Don't mind this hopeless house boy.
Me: he has hope okay? I'm starting to hate this visit. Are you coming inside or will you continue discriminating him? After all it's all wealth, if you were in his shoes you won't make such racist speech.
**i really countered him, he knew I was right, he didn't know what to say, he felt guilt, but I guess that was the right way to address him***
My dad went to his meeting, leaving all three of us in the house, I spent some boring minutes trying to show dammy the gov.son aground the house, he just kept bragging about how the architecture of our house was poor, and how he would build a house a lot better, I tell you, I'm going to fall sick and die if he stayed any longer.
I then left him, and went to tunde room to read some of his novels, me and tunde talked for a while and suddenly Dammy the gov.Son came in with his clothes..
Gov.son: shade what are you doing here? I thought you were told to spend time with only me?
Tunde: I see, we have something new we can spend time with, I wish I could spend more time with the toilet.
Me: enough tunde, I don't want you to start this.. Anyway dammy, I'm coming, I just came to some cool novels I could have some read on, and who told you I was told to spend all my time with? And what are those dirty clothes in your hands for?
Gov.Son: I see....? If this so called Tunde of a thing is not killed we will not find peace? Anyway, on why I came, Tunde, please, I want you to wash all these clothes now!
Tunde: I can't do that now, I'll wash them later.
Gov.Son: are you mad? I said you should wash this clothes and you're speaking back at me? Jokes aside, I'm very serious with this, stand up from that bed now, and pick up these clothes and wash now!
***immediately tunde started whistling and singing while the gov.Son was talking, this made the gov.Son a lot angrier***
Gov.Son: oh, oh, I'm talking and you're singing, do you know who I am? Hmm?
Me: dammy, you need to calm down okay, he said he will help you wash them, but you shouldn't be saying it like you are his God and Master.
Gov.Son: you see, I don't care if he your lover or whatever, I've been seeing how close you too are, but this time around I won't take insults from a hopeless piece of trash, useless daft house boy that was probably abandoned by his witch mother.
**on saying this, he crossed the line, and tunde got really mad, and rose up with anger and punched the gov.Son all over his face****
Tunde: **Punch** **Punch** you called me names? **Punch** are you mad? See I don't care who you are! But we are age mates! **Punch**
Gov.Son: Help! Somebody Help!!! He wants to kill me, Help!!!!
***i couldn't help but laugh and scream how tunde beat him up mercilessly, though the Gov.Son was very strong too, this is a really big problem, the gate man came to the rescue as tunde was beating him up like an animal, then finally the gate man succeeded in separating them, the Gov.Son's face was really boxed, and injured, tunde was barely hurt, I thought things will settle if I go to him and make him feel relax by kissing and rubbing his body, but as soon as the Gov.Son picked his cell phone and left the room, he called the Police***
