My brother's girl

Osaro

        The next day I was with Ella, Iyore and Osahon came in,actually Iyore was trying to come in but Osahon was holding her back.
"I got to talk to him,I got to tell him",
" no, he doesn't need to know Ore",
"He does",
" Huemwenmwen", she called out to me.
"Yes",
" so you know about I and your brother",
"Yes I do",
" and I remembered telling you if you heard anything about me that you shouldn't judge me before you hear me out",
"There is nothing to hear,I saw it's all",
" listen ",Iyore sat down.
" OK I am listening, what do you have to say",
"Many years ago,when I was 16 studying abroad,there was a newly released film from the theatre and everyone hurried to get a ticket,it's was the last ticket, as I grabbed it,some one else grabbed the other end,I looked at him it was Osahon",
" I really really need this ticket, please I will give you twice the amount for it",
"What's make you think I need your money?",
"I am begging you",
" I too am begging you, please I am a lady,can't you be nice and let me have it",
"Isn't this an adult show?",
" oh you want to play that card on me, you are not that older than me,kids watch this too,in fact kids watch this more",
"Give it to me",
" no let it go",as we dragged it the ticket torn into two.
"Look what you done",
" now we will never watch the film",
"Well at least we got two tickets now", then we started laughing and we sat on the chair in the area.
" my name is Osahon, Osahon Osagie",
"Osahon?",
" yeah and you pronounced it's well",
"Yes why wouldn't I?",
" because most Americans don't know how to pronounce my name,you must know I am a Nigerian, a Benin boy",
"Yes I was so surprised, I thought you were a black American",
" really, do I look like them?",
"The different between Africans and black Americans is that they migrated here years ago and we remained in our continents,we are all the same",
" you are right ",
" so what about you? ",
" what about what?",
"Your name",
" oh yeah,my name is Iyore Obaseki but you can call me Ore,I prefer Ore because Ore is more easier for the Americans to pronounce ",
" you are from Benin? ",
" yeah",
"Wow",
" don't tell me you thought I was American ",
" yeah",
"Well I am not and I can't believe that I didn't just meet a Nigerian boy but a Benin boy, this is amazing",
" we should be friends ",
" no,we shouldn't be,we are already friends ",
So we became friends and since I was underage we kept our feelings for each other and it's was after I have turned 18 that we started dating, just then we both came back home, and I was to be introduced  as Osahon's girlfriend",
" was it that time you said you were going on a field trip?",asked Ella.
"Yes,so I was asked to wait in the hostel that the next day I would be brought home to meet his family but as he got home, his parents were organizing a dinner",
" hey mum,dad I have some thing to tell you ",
" is it as important as what we have to tell you? ",
" mum",
"Son we had a reason why we asked you constantly on when you would be coming home",
" dad who are you guys expecting? ",
" you mean to say who are you expecting? ",
" you guys are making me even more confused ",
" don't worry you will understand soon ",they both said.
The entire family was at dinner, Osahon who just got back from doing business in America, Huemwenmwen who was around at that time and Oghogho who also came home from studying abroad, but it wasn't only the Osagie's family that was at that table, the Ogbemudia family was there too,Osaro which is an only child of her parents due to the fact that they couldn't have more kids because her mother had lack of fallopian tube,they all were at the table with their parents".
" that was when I met Osaro for the first time ",said Huemwenmwen but Ella stared at him badly.
" that's not what I meant babe",said Huemwenmwen, then Ella looked straight.
"Go on Ore",
" there they introduced Osahon to Osaro and Osaro thrown herself at him,then they all left them alone,Osaro kept on throwing herself on Osahon but he kept on refusing ",
" how are you sure all this was true?,you weren't there, he could have made this up",said Huemwenmwen.
"Osahon told me and I believe him,it got to a point when she told him...",
" I know you are not foolish, I know you know what going on here",
"Miss I am sorry for every thing my parents made you go through but nothing can happen between us,I do not love you, I am in love with some one else",
" well that some one else has to go because you must know that your father is really poor and you guys need me to get you off the ground ",
" what are you talking about? ",
" you don't know?, wow,the Osagie family are good with hiding things to the extent that their own children doesn't know that they have hit rock bottom ",
" I don't believe you ",
" your company is bankrupt and there is no one willy to invest,I wouldn't blame them what would they gain",
"But how?",
" your brother left the company and you went abroad, you left this company in the hands of your dad and do you know what, fraudsters came and told him that they would double his money,your father has billions but he wanted more so he agreed and sent all his money to them and they ran away with all of it",
"And how do you know about this?",
" I have my ways",
"Well that's my fathers problem I am not going to sacrifice myself for him",
" what about his heart disease?is that also his problem? ",
" what disease? ",
" heart disease, you still don't know, you really don't know anything, your father has a heart disease and the money he would make if the both of us get marriage, will save his life,you see if I were to choose I would choose the other one ",
" what other one? ",
" your little brother ",
" Huemwenmwen ",
" although he has the most difficult but sweet name, he is so cute,I really like him",
"If you do like him why don't you marry him,in that way my family will still be rich,my father would get treated and I will be happy with the love of my life",
" but then I would not be able to get what I really want",
"What do you really want?",
"You guys may be poor but the world doesn't know that,if I get married to you I would have an Osagie name I...",
" you would still have an Osagie name either way",
"Let me finish, I will be above my friends and if I marry a second born, I may have an Osagie name but I would still be mocked by my friends",
" so you are doing all of this for childish reasons, what are you?, a 12year old,if they mock you, make new friends ",
" it's not that easy",
"It not that difficult either",
" listen let me break it down for you if you don't marry me your father dies",
"That's when Osahon agreed to marry her",
" and you agreed to be a mistress forever ",said Ella.
" I have no choice ",
" you have all the choice in the world",
"I love him",
" once his father's life is saved he would divorce her and marry me ",
" and when would that be",
"My father has heart disease", I said to my safe.
"Yes that's the truth", said Osahon.
" and you are telling me now,you aren't even telling me, Ore told me",
"You didn't have to know",
" I didn't have to know, every one knew except me,Osaro knew about every thing, and I thought she was marrying you out of ignorance, do her parents know too?",
"No they don't know, if they knew,they would have cut off the wedding by now",the girls were still arguing.
" enough ",they still continued.
" enough ladies I got an idea",
"You do", said Iyore.
" I hope it's one preventing her from being a mistress ",
" yeah it does",
"Let us hear it", I told them what we needed to do and we went into action.
Few minutes later.
" now what",said Ella using her hands to hit her laps.
"Now we wait"I said.
The next morning, Osahon ran to my room.
" Huemwenmwen it's happened ",
" what",
"It's worked",
" what really ".
Few hours later, we were in front of Osaro's house.
" this is the hardest part,are you ready?",
"Yes I am",
We pressed the bell and a maid answered,she let us in and called Osaro.
" what a pleasant surprise, the two men who mean a lot to me ",
" cut the act Osaro, I know everything now",
She looked at Osahon then looked back at me.
"Oh you do",
She sat.
" you can sit",we sat.
"Well Osaro since I got to know every thing I also got to know how to help my dad",
" how?",
"My dad has many friends and we were able to contact them,telling them about the illness and how broke we were,we told them that if  they really ever cared for our father that they should help and the money they paid in our account this morning was way more than the money he needed for the operation, it's enough to invest and get us out of the ground",
" and we are over",said Osahon.
"Wait I am not doing this just because I wanted name and status,there is a bigger reason",
" she is trying to play us again ",
" why would you be doing this? For what reason?",
"When I was born,every one knew me as the great Osaro Ogbemudia,rich,happy,lacks nothing, a girl who has the perfect life, born with the silver spoon they say,but no one knew the horrors that I went through, my father cheated on my mother, and when my mother confronts him he beats her and that's why I never had a sibling before me non after me,he destroyed my mom's womb that my mom told me that the lord was on my side for me to survive in her womb after all those beatings,and my family problems weren't enough, at school I had to have a bully who was jealous that I was perfect and tormented me all the time. So one day I knew how to get her,I stole her boyfriend and it wasn't hard at all,when she came to me to quarrel with me,and I told her(flashback)
"And who do you think you are, you are a no body and yes I am a some body,I am the perfect girl,your father's salary in a year is my allowance monthly, you go to this school by scholarship, so don't you come to me and behave like you own this school because you don't", she couldn't say anything but stare at me, so I left her and everyone went with me, I owned the school after wards and from that day I didn't let anyone bring me down,a week later I broke up with her boyfriend. Few years ago I was with my friends and they spoke about the Osagie family, on and on and on and then one of the girls said..
" if I could get married to one of the Osagie's brothers,maybe the first I would be the leader of this damn group ",
" what???",
"She is right, yes you are the richest but if she gets married to an Osagie she would not be only the richest but the most famous, her name would be known every where,she would be the leader",
" I would get married to an Osagie and not just any Osagie, the eldest brother ",she round up her story.
" so you see why I desperately want to get married to you ",
" it all still childish words",we left
"It's not over yet",I heard Osaro say.
