MY SISTER'S LOVER

MY SISTER'S LOVER

CHAPTER 22

SAM'S POINT OF VIEW
I was all ears as the detective tabled his opinion. I wanted to hear what he had in mind. I was at least happy because I was almost winning the battle.
As for Judy, we had stopped communicating and I was experiencing some peace within myself. To hell with her! That's where she belongs.
"We will visit the class Teacher together, then we can convince her to help us get closer to  Aggy."
The detective told me
"How is that even possible? I mean, the school has ethics, rules and regulations. We can't just bulge in there and start ordering the teachers around!"
I told him.
"As  I told u before, she is my wife's friend and she can do anything for me. Trust me. I will introduce you to her as my long time friend and she won't have a choice but to help us."
"Great! So, how shall we go about it?"
" Let's get going, there is still time."
"Call her at least to know that we are going."
"No need! The more she will be surprised, the better!"
With that, we got into my car and left towards Karen.
We used the roads inside the estates so as Ro beat the ngong road traffic. We arrived in the school an hour later and we requested to see Mrs. Muendo.
My heart was beating fast like the hallelujah drums! I was panicking. The possibility of meeting my daughter after three years made me freak out. How did she look? Did she take after me or after her mum? I regretted mistreating her mum. I never had time for both of them therefore I couldn't tell how she looked.
I was gonna take this opportunity to ask to see her, even if it's from a distance.
We were ushered into to the teachers office. She rose up to shake our hands and welcomed us to have our seats.
"What a pleasant surprise Charles, you didn't tell me you were coming?"
" I just wanted to surprise you. Aren't you my wife's friend any more?"
The detective asked her, while smiling.
I was surprised they addressed each other casually, like long time friends.
"Ah! Stop it! Lucy will be my friend till kingdom comes. Tell me, what do I owe this pleasant surprise?"

The detective told her our mission. She was surprised to see the resemblance between me and Shirleen.
"Waoh, nice to meet you Mr Samuel, I just saw your name in Shirleen's birth cert but I have never seen you in person. You look so Mich alike!"

"Nice to meet you too madam, I hope my daughter is tall like myself!"
She laughed at that before saying...
"She looks everything like you. She is very bright in class, I bet she also takes after you!"
"That one she inherited from her mum....."
I trailed in my thoughts.
I couldn't wait to meet both of them.
She promised to do something about it.
She told us she had an idea.
"How about attending the AGM?"
"How will that help?"
I asked her.
"We will find a way to communicate to her mum that both patents are needed during the AGM. She won't be able to escape that because she included your name ain the school registration forms."

I couldn't help but smile. I knew my time to meet my family was near and if all goes well, we were gonna reunite and be one happy family together.
"I need a favour from you madam."
"Yeah, go ahead"
"Can I see my daughter, even if its from afar?"
"Its OK Mr Samuel, she is your daughter after all."
Shirleen was brought into the office and I couldn't control the urge to cuddle her. Unfortunately, the teacher warned me against it and told me I was only allowed to see her, not to touch.
She was so cute, with dimples like those of her mum, chocolate in complexion just like me, taller and beautiful. She had the looks.
The teacher pretended to have called her to give her some books to take to the classroom because she happened to be the class prefect.
I was now more than ever, determined to meet her mum and square things out.
We said goodbye to the teacher and headed back home. I had some happiness in me which couldn't be fathomed.....
This particular day was all alone in the office, doing nothing, just thinking about my cute daughter when I heard someone knock the door. I thought it was my secretary but the sight which caught my eyes after the door creaked will forever be embedded in my mind, heart and soul.....
