June 14,2018.
I went to work and I presented my project "we will sell differently from how we use to for instance instead of selling to our customers the Chinese which our rivals know of and is already planning to make it fail,we make a twist and sell to some one they wouldn't expect,the Russians", I spoke and expected an applause but I got none,they just starred at me.
" your project is missing some thing I can't place my hand on it",
"Impossible",
" yes that's it,it impossible to leave our customers, clients and sell to some one else",
"That's suicide", the manager kept chipping words for the CEO and I just felt like skinning him alive.
" we would lose instead of gaining, so go back and when this project is really ready come back ",the CEO said then stood up and left and the others followed him.
Afterwards I left to my office, it's a small office but has a glass window through which you can capture the sunset,I passed my secretary and I never imagined to see my dad,sitting on my office chair like he owns the place.
" dad what a surprise ",
" I came to see you and I just can't believe you keep up with this ",
" with what?",
"Why do you waste one minute here?come back to the family company, your brother can't do it alone",
" what family company, the one that's bankrupt?",
"Shut up, walls have ears",
" right I don't care what you do dad,but I don't see why I should go back ",
" our company is never better, in 6 months time, your brother would get married to the daughter of the Ogbemudia family and we will be back on our feet",
"Why are you guys so lazy?why can't you find other ways to rise back like investing,you know a lot of people who has money,why must you use this means?",
" you wouldn't understand ",
" what if some thing happens and they don't get married? ",
" nothing is going to happen, there are going to get married, and the marriage would mean that your brother played his part as a member of this family and I want you to play your part come and work for me and show me I didn't waste my money on you when I send you to school abroad, besides there is no difference between this company and ours,the only difference is that you would be the managing director when you are just a staff here,both companies are involved in import and export, this company is in fact one of my rivals ",
" was one of your rivals, since you crashed, this company has gone up while yours the other way around ",
" that's why I want you to help make the company rise again ",
" it too late dad,when you would have come to me,you didn't ",
" now if you can excuse me dad, I would like to work ",
My dad left and I sat on my chair, I couldn't seem to think straight let alone work so I rest my head on the desk.
Few minutes later I heard a foot step coming to my direction, then some one drew my hair. I was about to shout in pain,when I discovered it's was my little sister,she is a 22year old woman, who use to school abroad but since we got bankrupt,she redrew from school and came back here and since then she has made sure she got me bankrupt,they say when my brother get married to Osaro, she would continue her school in abroad.
" what?",
"Hey bro,my hands are dried",
" I just gave you money two weeks ago ",
" you know how things are,I have to take care of my self and since the bankrupt -",
"Shhh don't say that too loud",
" I am only receiving a fraction of what I use to receive, how do you guys expect me to survive? ",
" like the rest of us,you can survive just exactly like the rest of us are surviving ",
" really, you guys have already pampered me,there is no going back ",
I brought out a bundle of cash.
" here,this is for the month ",
She took the money but I still held on to it.
" I am serious, do not come back still the end of the month ",
" got ha",
She took the money and left. Then I got a phone call from Osaro.
"Hello",
" can we talk? ",
Hearing that,I started to imagine and thinking different things, is she going to tell me that she loves me too, oh my God,it's really happening, my dream has finally come to pass.
" yes of course,were should we meet?",
"I will send you the address",
Immediately after she cut the call, I received the address and I started arranging my things and hurried out, I told my secretary to sort out the remaining things.
I went to the bar in the address that was sent to me but she hasn't come yet so I decided to sit down and order for beer.
As I drank my bottle of beer,she came in.
" hey ",
" hey",
"What would you want to drink?",
" Martini please ",
" waiter,one glass of Martini please ",
" well I called you here to talk about - ",
"Oh my God, it is happening",I thought in excitement.
" your life",
"What?",
" you see I know it's not my business and I shouldn't bug in but Osahon was right, you are not growing any younger,please find yourself a girl friend,for instance Ella she has been really there for you lately,and she really loves you ",
" but I don't love her",
The waiter brought the cocktail.
"You would learn to love her,that's how all this have been, learning to love to fit in",
"That's the lie that every one is living in and I don't want to be part of it",
" then I wouldn't force you ",
" I don't want to be part of it but I would for you ",
" no do not do it for me but for your self",
"OK",
" thank you Huemwenmwen ",
She continued drinking her cocktail.
Ella isn't actually Ella it's Ela from the name Eghosaela which means God's time does not elapses. She is a model and is obsessed over me,but I am going to give it a try for Osaro.
