” This is Nigeria ? Emerald asked at the top of her voice making some people turn towards them in the crowd and Ashton blus-hed in embarras-sment .
” Why are they all staring at me like that ? She frowned .
” It’s nothing Thor’s wife ” ace said making Ashton signal him to hold her instead .
” The sun is hot over here , how do these people survive ? Erik asked making everyone laugh .
” That’s what they wonder when they see our weather ” Aiden chuckled .
” I wanted to be a Nigerian because of those tasty foods dunni makes buh no ,I don’t wanna get sun burned ” Erik added making Tasha hold his hands .
” Now I’m pretty sure everyone is wondering why we all have umbrellas on ” ace teased making cherish smack his head .
‘ Aiden I’ve done everything you asks for , especially the reservations .” Kelechi said with a chuckle .
” Where exactly are we stoping ? I’m tired ” she complained making kele wonder if Aiden made the right decision , bringing his guests to the ghetto .
He’d suggested they Lodge at one of the best hotels in Lagos , buh Aiden said no , he wanted them to have a taste of what life was outside their luxury .
He wanted them to see how happy these people where without all the luxury in the world .
” Man are you sure this is a good idea ” kelechi whispered .
” It’s gonna be fun ” Aiden chuckled .
” Fun ? There’s nothing fun , about the look on your aunt’s face ” kele answered .
” Wait we haven’t reached the hotel yet ? Stephanie asked frowning making Charles ru-b her back .
” Here we are ” Aiden said to his parents as he came out of his car Alex and Emma joined .
” Wait what ? Ace asked staring at the environment with a hu-ge smile on his face .
” The houses look different …”
” I don’t see any hotel anywhere around ” Stephanie said walking towards them making Nathaniel ru-b his forehead at his mother in-laws frustrated face .
Whilst red bit her li-ps to stop the laughter .

( They look like mermaids)
” Aunt dad mom Grandma grandpa everyone , this is where dunni use to stay and although they’ve moved away from this place and now live in a Mansion , this is where her parents used to stay , this is where life began for her .
This place , ” the ghetto ”
” If there’s one place she’d really feel close to ,as a venue to tie the knot , it’s definitely right here in this ghetto amongst her people .
We can have the wedding and reception at a grand hotel with all the posh and luxury we are already used to , and besides it’s gonna be a new experience to everyone of you ‘ he finished .
” Oh God why am I not freaking out already ” Stephanie asked removing her shades and Alex laughed at his sister .
” We un-derstand you son “Emma smiled .
” Ya as long as I get to eat more of those delicious …” Ace was saying .

” Woah I seriously nee-d to learn that stuff ” ace said and walked over to shade making everyone chuckle .

” dad’s gonna work on the security ,right dad ? He asked Alex who gave a nod .
” Even if you guys can work on the security , my family house is not enough for just 8 people not to talk of …” She trailed.
” We’re using my family house , I’ve talked to Dad and Mom and they’re happy to help , especially since there’s cash involved ” kele chuckled .
” You’re big compound? She asked shocked .
” Ya at least non of our relatives will be around not until Christmas ” he laughed .
” Fine ” she said .
” Ah I can’t wait to explore …” Ace trailed.
” You’d do no such thing ” dunni scolded .
” Can we get going now ” Leah asked tiredly .
” Huh ya ” kelechi answered .
★Some minutes later ★

” Catch am ” they heard a man scream at the top of his voice dressed in black and black uniform and boots holding a big black cub and pot belly whilst chasing her 14 yrs looking kid and another hungry looking one behind with faded Barret and oversized shoes .
” Are they cops ? Red asked .
” They look like hungry people ” Emerald said in pity .
