Episode 4

SAM: Alrigh ma, thanks again good night.
JOYCE: Alright, you welcome. Please say me hi to papa when he comes out.
SAM: Alright ma (she exit)
It was 9:00 already yet papa didn’t come out so I went to his door to knock. I knocked twice before papa answered from inside “please come inside” he said I was nervous at first but later kick it off and went inside.

SAM: Good evening daddy, eeh sorry papa I mean to say.

HE smiled

PAPA: It’s ok, papa, daddy is all the same thing. So what is it you wanted to say?

SAM: Mrs joyce brought food, she said she was assign to be bring food for us for the period of our stay here.

PAPA: Oh, that’s nice, so have you eaten my daughter?

SAM: No daddy, I came to call you, so we could eat together, the table is already set sir.

PAPA: I was so tired so I slept for a while, I didn’t even know time is far spent. Go and eat my child, it’s late I won’t be eating anything tonight again.

SAM: No daddy, please don’t say that, ok a least a little. Please daddy. (she does a baby face for him)

Papa thought for a while before he asked me to wait for him at the dining that he would join me. Papa came out we ate in silent, after the meal I took the dirty dishes to the kitchen to wash. Papa was already in the living room. So I joined him, we watch a movie for a while (gospel movie oooo) I started feeling sleeping, my eyes were closing but I didn’t want to leave papa. I felt someone touch my shoulder slightly that was when I knew I was already sleeping. “Go inside and sleep” but I pretended to be sleeping. The next thing I felt that same hand picked me from the coach, I didn’t know where we were going but I knew we were moving, he placed me on my bed and covered me with a blanket. He left then I open my eyes I watch him close the door after him.

Wow papa just carried me, God thank you ooo, I was filled with joy, it didn’t take long before I slept off.

The next morning I heard a slight knock on my door, I was too weak to stand up, I just open my eyes but couldn’t stay up. Papa came inside and told me he was going out, I wonder where because it was very early. He told me he would be back by 6pm.

SAM: Papa, what would you like to have when you come back?

PAPA: Eeh anything they bring is fine.

SAM: Alright daddy, see you by 6pm then.
When papa left Mrs joyce came with breakfast but I told her to stop bring food and stop bordering herself politely.

SAM: Thanks for everything ma, but please can you stop bring food for us? What would be my job here if you keep bring food.

JOYCE: But my child, I’m not complaining.

SAM: You don’t need to complain. I will die of lonely if I’m at home doing nothing. Papa left early so I won’t be able to finish this food, so take it home. I will be fine ma.
She thought for a while before she said “ok no problem” and turn her back to leave.

SAM: Excuse me ma, hope you ain’t angry ma? Please don’t be please.

JOYCE: (she smiled at me) no my child I’m not.

SAM: Thanks ma, please is there any market around here? I would like to go and buy some food stuffs.

JOYCE: Yes my dear, we have market and it’s not far from here.

SAM: Please how do I locate the place ma?
She thought for a while before she said

JOYCE: Ok I will ask my son desmond to go with you. He just came back from abuja but he should know the road better.

I was excited I didn’t know why but I was. She later sent her son around 11pm. I just finish having my bath I was dressing when I heard a knock on the door. “Who is it” “I’m coming ooh”

I went outside to see a very handsome guy standing outside our door, truth be told his very handsome and he has dimple too but his is two sided.

SAM: Hi, how may I help you?

DESMOND: Hi, I’m desmond hope I’m in the right house? I’m here to see Samantha.

SAM: Mommy joyce’s son right?

DESMOND: Yes I am.

SAM: Please do come in, I’m sorry you met me like this.
