EPISODE 17
[Odeya]
Day broke unexpectedly early and Amanda got up and rushed downstairs to go the kitchen. She prepared Odeya’s breakfast and lunch. Then headed back upstairs to wake Odeya up.
Getting to the corridor, she saw Gold come out from Desmond’s room.
Amanda inhaled. “Good morning.” she greeted and walked pas-s.
“Hey” Gold’s voice halted her.
“Excuse me and turn around.” Gold said and Amanda rolled her eyes and did.
“Yes?” Amanda answered.
Gold checked her from head to toe.
“Next time when you wanna greet me, don’t forget to add ‘ma’am’ un-derstood?” Gold said.
“What?” Amanda said with raised brows.
“I’m sure you heard me clearly cos I don’t think you got deaf ears.” Gold said, eyed Amanda and with that she entered back into Desmond’s room.
Amanda could ha-rd ly believe her ears. “What did I just heard? I don’t think I heard clearly.. Call her ma’am.. Such a joke!” she scoffed and entered Odeya’s room.
Odeya was still asleep. Amanda woke her up and carried her to the bathroom to take her bathe and prepare for you.
“Nanny,” odeya called as she was having her bathe.
“Yes Odeya.”
“Can we go to see Jeremy today?” Odeya asked.
Actually Odeya was asking and not ordering.
That surprised Amanda.
“Deya.. You have to be in clas-s today..” she said.
“Not this morning. Im saying after school today.” Odeya said.
“Ahh okay. We will.” Amanda said.
Odeya smiled.
………….
“You gonna drop me off, right?” Gold asked Desmond as she was fixing his tie.
“I’m sorry baby, but today is Friday and I usually drop Odeya to school. I will tell Peter to drive you home.” Desmond said.
Gold rolled her eyes. “But I want you to.”
Desmond exhaled and cu-mpped Gold’s cheeks. “Babe, this is like a debt I own to my daughter. I always take her to school on Fridays as far as I’m home.”
“You can drop the both of us then.” Gold said.
“I’d be late for work. Remember your house is quite far.” Desmond said.
Gold did a frowny face trying to change Desmond’s mind but that wasn’t working.
“I’m sorry baby, I promise to give you a call. And oh.. The money. Let me write you a check.” Desmond said and went for his check books.
..
“Here it is..” He finished and handed it to her. Gold was shocked at the amount he wrote.
“1.8million naira!?”
Desmond gr@bb£d his briefcase. “Let’s go babe.”
Gold hvgged and k!$$£d him. “Thank you honey. I love youuu.” she said.
“I love you too baby.” Desmond reciprocated the k!ss. “Let’s go..”
Gold was like ‘wowwwww.’ What a good catch!
………..
They headed downstairs and met Odeya eating. She was having bre-ad and mayonnaise and Amanda was packing her lunch box inside her lunch box bag.
When Amanda saw them, she closed up the bag quic-kly.
“Good morning sir. I will get you your breakfast.” she greeted without looking at his face then turned and headed to the kitchen.
“Darling, how was your night?” Desmond asked Odeya who focused on the bre-ad she was eating, ignoring her dad to the extent of not even looking at him.
“Deya.. answer me.” Desmond said.
Deya said nothing.
Gold rolled her eyes. ‘Such a runt.’
Desmond exhaled.
Gold placed her hand on his leg.. “Baby, I guess she is in a bad mood. little kids behave this way most times. Maybe she doesn’t like her breakfast.” she said and turned to Odeya with a sm-irk smile. “Beautiful Deya, What else could make you moody ap@rt from your breakfast, you don’t want it? You shouldn’t blame your dad but the nanny.”
Odeya dropped the bre-ad angrily. “Your pres£nce disgusts me and this whole house. Get lost!”
Gold’s mouth dropped open. “What!..did you just say that to me?”
“I’m gonna say more if you don’t get your ugly looking self outta this house and outta my dad’s life.” Odeya said.
Gold was stunned. She was too shocked and raged to speak to the little girl.
“Odeya!! Be quiet this minute!” Desmond ordered.
“Dad!” Odeya yelled.
“Shut up and don’t talk to her like that, ever again.” Desmond said.
“Dad! she doesn’t belong here!” Odeya said.
Amanda walked in with a tray of Desmond’s usual breakfast of tea and bre-ad.
“You got no right to tell me who belongs here or not, un-derstood.I’m trying my best to be the best dad to you and every single thing i do is to make you happy and be a good daughter so eat your food and go to school, that’s what you should be focused on right now.” Desmond told Odeya.. for the first time.
Odeya stared at her dad with teary eyes.
Gold was smiling triumphantly within her.
“Dad.. did you just say all that to me because of her?” Odeya asked.
Amanda decided to clear this scene because it get worse.
“Here’s your breakfast sir.. You should eat now or you might run late for work.” she said then turned to odeya. “Deya, you should eat too so you can go to school.”
Odeya stood up from the seat and.
“I’m filled up. I will go to school now.” she said and without waiting, she headed towards the exit door.
“Deya.. Deya wait..” Amanda called but she was out alre-ady.
Amanda gr@bb£d Odeya’s school bag and lunch box and rushed out.
“Deyaaa..” she called as she saw Peter talking to her.
“Take me to school.” Odeya said.
Amanda sighed and opened the car door. She carried Odeya in and got in too.
Peter got onto the driver’s seat and soon they were heading to Odeya’s school.
They hadn’t driven far, when Amanda saw tears rolling down Odeya’s cheeks.
She took out wiper from Odeya’s bag and wiped her tears off.
“It’s okay Deya, don’t cry or you gonna have red big eyebags.” Amanda said then cu-mddled her in her arm.
“It’s okay. Everything’s going to be fine.” Amanda said.

After Odeya left, Desmond bec@m£ uneasy and felt bad about yelling at his daughter.
“Are you okay honey?” Gold asked, c@r£ss!nghis hand.
“I shouldn’t have talked to her that way.” he said.
Gold smiled. “Don’t feel bad about it. Kids are to be scolded when they do wrong and you did the right thing by scolding her for talking more than she should.”
Desmond looked at her and she smiled more charming and t©uçhed his cheek.
“So don’t feel bad. You are only training her to be a good child. She insulted me. It’s been a while I got insulted and I couldn’t believe it could come from a five years old girl.” she said.
“Still I feel that I shouldn’t have said all that to her. She’s only a little girl.” Desmond said.
“Come on baby, it’s now you start.. Anyways, let’s get going. Now you gonna drive me homee.” Gold said and k!$$£d him. “..and did I just remember something. That nanny didn’t get me my own food. I’m getting hungry. let’s go.”
Desmond sighed and stood up.
He took his briefcase and suit. Gold carried her bag and they left.

“I will try.” Odeya said.
Amanda smiled. “That’s a relief. I will see you in few hours and we gonna see him after school. plea-se be happy OK.” Amanda said.
Odeya nodded. “I will try.”
Amanda handed her lunchbox to her and she headed to her seat.
🚺Odeya… We heard you were with Jeremy all throu-gh yesterday. I never thought you could be this nice.🚺one of her clas-s mate said.
The others joined in.
🚹Odeya can we be friends?🚺
🚺I want to be your friend Odeya.🚺

Odeya was shocked.
Amanda was surprised. Such kids..
she smiled, waved Odeya goodbye and left.
One of her clas-smate by the name, Gift c@m£ with candies..”Hi Odeya. Have some and let’s be friends.” she said.
“Have some chocolate Odeya.” Another clas-smate said.
“Deya, do you want cookies. It’s very delicious.” Another clas-smate said.
‘What happened…’ Odeya wondered.
“Okay kids.. Go back to your seat. First clas-s is about to begin.” Mrs Tonia, their form teacher walked into the clas-s.
The kids dropped their gifts on Odeya’s table and went back to their seat.
Mrs Tonia walked to Odeya and smiled at Odeya for the first time.
“Jeremy talked very nicely about you. He said we should be your friend from onwards because you care about people you like.” Mrs Tonia said.
Odeya coughed…”ehm..Ms.. We should start first clas-s now.” she said. Mrs Tonia smiled.
