CAGED

16

"I was just so surprised when Mrs Smith walked up to me in church and asked me if we were now so poor that the only thing my daughter van do to survive is to play football. You know that I never liked that woman. If not for God and my dear friend, I would have been totally embarrassed. Feyintola you're a disgruntled." Mrs Adams rants and raves striding the length and width and breadth of the richly furnished sitting room painted in cream and burgundy colors.
  "A big disgrace. I just didn't expect it." Her husband takes it up from where she stopped as he casts a killer look at Feyintola who is on her knees at the center of the room.
  "When did you even make that stupid video? And why? Do you ever listen? Ehn? Feyintola?"
"Can't you talk? Your mother is waiting for you to say something." Her father charges as Irewamiri holds his palms together as if praying while looking at his sister pitifully.
  "I don't know what to say." She croaks in huge fear slightly closing her eyes.
  "Really? Then just say you're sorry and that you will never have anything to do with football again."
"But that's a lie. That's a lie and you know it too. So why should I do it just to satisfy you?"
"Feyintola? Did you just...." Her mother starts before Dr Adams holds her shoulders in comforts.
  "Please love, sit down. Don't stress yourself. I know just what to do." He persuades and reassures her as she takes her seat and places her head on his shoulder.
  He brings out his phone and places a call across to one of the teachers at Ademola Junaid's Montessori.
"Good afternoon doctor."
"Afternoon sir."
"How are you doing sir?"
  "Very well. Please do you have the contact of the football Coach?" He asks skipping too much pleasantries as he goes straight to the point.
  "I do sir. Hope no problem sir?"
"Not at all. Please send it to me. If possible immediately, I really will appreciate it."
   "Okay sir. Just a minute."
"Thanks." He says and disconnects the call.
  He turns to look at Feyintola, "You see, if you can't let go of that stupid passion you have, I will do the honors of snatching it away from you. While your eyes are open." He threatens as a ding from his phone directs his attention back to the phone and he touches a few things here and there.
   "I just don't know her problem. When she's not the only one. Even Irewamiri who is a boy doesn't have interest in football."
  "Mom that's because...." He starts to respond before a signal from his sister makes his face contort into a frown and he keeps quiet.
"Hello." A voice comes from the other side of the phone.
"Is this the football coach?"
"Yes sir. And who am I speaking with?"
"This is Feyintola's father's and this is to inform you that she will no longer be interested in anything called footballs and it's acquittances."
  "I'm sorry. But I do not understand you sir."
"That's your problem okay. What I am telling you is that, the next time you see my daughter at the football field, chase her away."
  "Why if I may ask?"
"It's none of your business, you low life. You want my daughter to become as wretched as you currently are right? Well, this is me telling you that it won't be possible. Take me serious young man and you had better act according to it. Or else, I will make sure you're arrested for something you know nothing about. Understood?" Her father screams out in question but doesn't get a reply as the call is immediately disconnected.
"Imagine? He is infact very rude. That should be enough warning though." He says and turns to face his daughter.
  "For the two of you that should be enough warning. Now out of my sight." He says as she doesn't even wait for him to finish the sentence before the stands up and runs to her room in tears.

Such a sad chapter. Like 😭😭😭😭😭, I don't know how I'm supposed to feel like. I'm saying it once again, if you're in a situation like that of Feyintola, help is coming in Jesus mighty name 🙏🙏.
