Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 11
“Excuse me, who are you???” Michael asked, he walked out of the bathroom, took his phone, disconnected it from the bluetooth device, checked the number and saw the call was from Nigeria, he placed the call on record and put his phone on loudspeaker. “I said who are you????” He asked again trying to place where he had heard the voice.
“Adetomiwa, O ga oooo (exclaims), so Obodoyinbo has make you forget this voice (so the white man’s land has made you forget this voice) “the voice said hissing.
“plea-se come out plain, cause I don’t un-derstand what you are fvcking say” He said angrily, as the voice speaks like someone he has known, he is trying to ransack his br@in to place the voice which seems futile.
“Adetomiwa, but I told you that, that F word shouldn’t be said and O ko mi (my dear\husband) you are speaking to fast, slow down oooo” the voice said again.
“I said who are you????”
Michael yelled angrily as his memory seem to fail in in remembering the person.
“Ahhhhh ( exclaims sadly) O ti da (it’s is good), calm down honey…..” The voice was cut short by Michael.
“If you don’t tell me who the hell you are, and how you knew my name I will hung up” Michael fired.
“Hmmmmm….. Ade mi (my crown) Omo mi ( my child) idunu mi ( my happiness) the one I love and can’t trade for anything, Omo Olori ( the queen’s child) ” The voice kept praising him crying, he was wondering why she was crying but as she was talking, the reality of what was going on hit him, he recognized the voice.
“Ooooh my goodness!!!! The only person that calls me that is…… is…… Ohhhhh no….” He thought within himself surprised.
“Mother????” He said quietly as if looking for comfirmtion from his br@in, which gladly gave him answers, as he began to have flashes of memories of his mother speaking with the voice, tears began to flood down his face. “Mami!!!!!” He shouted. “Is that you???” he asked.
“Yes, it’s me, I have missed you, Adetomiwa (crown c@m£ to me) am sorry for not calling earlier” she said still crying.
“Mami, st©p crying, sorry for not calling???? But I thought you died, like you and your inmates were executed, I…….. ” Michael said, as he st©p because he was too emotional.
“Ra ra ooo (no ooo)” she said. “So you still remember what you do call me, when you were small, but it’s sound funny now” she said laughing at the other end of the phone, Michael smiled too. “Mami” she micmiced him funnily, they laughed.
“Mother, I don’t un-derstand the first words you said, Ra…. What??” He asked genuinely confused.
“E gba mi oooo ( save me ooo) so ilu oyinbo (white man’s country)has washed your language off” she said smiling “okay don’t worry, I will speak English and promise me you will slow down a bit while talking” she added laughing.
“Okay mum” Michael answered and smiled. He didn’t un-derstand because while he was in Nigeria, during his secondary school days, he went to a school which speaks English, although he did learn Yoruba and French but not for too long.
“Should I start explaining or later because the person that gave me this number, said I should be discreet and careful about the call because you might get into trouble easily” His mom said.
“Ooooh” he muttered.
“We will discuss the full gist later, and I will call later, am calling from a shop, and I don’t have too much money to pay, and you know that this is an international call, they will charge me much, so later” she said hurriedly.
“Mami, wait” he said quic-kly.
“Yes” she answered.
“How long have you been out, and how have you been surviving and plea-se don’t tell me ‘am good’ when actually you are not” he said, because he knows his mother, she might say she fine when actually, she is far from fine.
“Well, for two months, and I am managing” she said trying to cover up her sadness but Michael could s-en-se it.
“Am sorry” He said sadly.
“It’s not your fault, and son am proud of you, I have heard a lot about you from the man that gave me this number, but I have to go now, Mami loves you, bye” she said.
“Bye” he answered not wanting her to cut the call but she did, he sat down on the ground and memories of his mother and himself c@m£ flooding in… He cried sadly, for few minutes he was crying, he went straight to the bathroom, brushed and took his bath, wore his clothes. When he was throu-gh he wonder why his orders were not been delivered, he opened the door, and saw what he orders were on a moveable tray.
“Ooooh, they could have gotten tired of knocking” he said to himself, and drove the tray in. He called then to tell he has gotten it. His coffee was not that h0t, but there was a flask of h0t water, he made the coffee h0t, ate his snacks. When he was throu-gh, he walked out of his suite with his rented car keys, his small bluetooth device that was connected to his phone and fitted to his ear, he put his phone in his pocket, check his pocket and saw his credit card, he locked his door and headed out side, beaming with smiles. He drove straight to big mall, to get things for the kids. He brou-ght out his phone and called Williams, he kept his phone back into his pocket.
“Hi Michael” Williams said.
“Thanks” Michael said beaming, as he was walking in the clothes session.
“For what???” Williams asked.
“Just give me a minute” he said as he saw a lady looking at the clothes, she works in the mall “Excuse me” he said as the lady turned to him with smiles.
“Yes, how may I help you sir???” She asked with smiles plastered on her face.
“plea-se, am kinda not good in searching for what kids want, and they didn’t tell me what they wanted, so I think you can help me” he said as he disconnect his call with Williams.
“Ooooh okay, just tell me what they like, their ages and tastes” she said.
“Well, two are females, the eldest loves writing and drawing along side fancy dresses, the other one love Disney movies, the male one loves toys and cartoons too, see their pictures, age ten, seven and four and half” Michael said and showed her the pictures.
“I think I will know what they like” she said
“Okay, thanks, plea-se pick few clothes and shoes for them and things you think they will like” he said.
“Okay” she said and started what she was told while Michael walked behind her, he called Williams again who picked up immediately.
“Yeah, so for what????” Williams asked again.
“Why didn’t you tell me mother was alive” Michael said as he followed the lady, either nodding his head or shaking it sideways to whatever item she showed him.
“Cmon but you c@m£ for the burial ceremony, my mom is dead” He answered.
“Not your mom, I mean my mom” Michael answered rolling his eyes, he nodded his head to a cross bag the lady held up to him and pointed to a purple one which had Disney princesses pictures, that of Elsa and Anna, he know Ashley will scream for joy if she sees it.
“Finally, she gave you a call” Williams said laughing “I totally un-derstand where you got your stubbornness from, gosh!!!! She is an edited version of you” As Williams said this, they both laughed.
“Michael could you plea-se call me back, I gotta fix something” Williams said hurriedly.
“Okay no problem” Michael answered, then hung up, the lady c@m£ with a big bag, dropped it in front of him, he thanked her and gave her some cash, she helped him with the bag to the counter, he gave his credit card which was inser-ted in a machine to deduct, he checked the stuff that was in the bag and smiled. He took them into his car and drove off.
Boss was sitting down on a chair while the others were standing, Mr Mark was also sitting down.
“So Alex and Katherine, plea-se pl@ythe video you took when Brian was with George” He said as a maid served all of them drinks, Alex pla-yed the video on the Television, they all paid ra-pt attention to it, after some minutes, the video st©pped.
“So boss, this is actually the third time we are watching this, what are we gonna do??” Alex asked.
“We should go after George” Natasha said smiling, every one looked at her………
