She walked pas-s Ngosi and Nkechiyere as her sli-ppers were ma-king sound on the ground and taking duty. Ngosi and Nkechi st©pped walking and faced each other.
“Did she just pas-s us without greeting us?” Nkechi asked.
“Don’t mind her, how will she greet? Is she not an Illiterate?

Mrs Godwin could be see sitting on the sofe at the living room re-ading news paper alongside with her daughter Cindy, wisdom’s twin sister when wisdom walked in with a briefcase in his hand, he was obviously returning from work.
“Good evening mum, hey kid sister Wat’s up?” He said as he walked fully into the living room.
“Welcome son.” Mrs Godwin said.
“Thanks mum.” Wisdom replied.
“I am not a baby oh, we are twins you should know that.” Cindy said jokely.
“That doesn’t change the fact that I am still a man and the head.” Wisdom said sitting beside her.
“Look at your head, you are a man? So if they say men should come out, so you will also come out?” Cindy asked jokely while they laughed including their mother.
“Off course he is a man.” Mr Godwin said from the stairs as he slowly walked down while they all turned their eyes to his direction.
“Dad, plea-se tell her for me.” Wisdom said and they laughed again.
“Bring yourself here.” Cindy said and hvgged wisdom.
“How was your day?” She asked feeling concerns.
“It was stressful as always.” Wisdom said like a baby in his sister’s arms.
“I know you must be very hungry, I have prepared your meal.” Cindy said re-leasing him from her arms.
“Oh sweet sister, this is why I love you.” He said happily and k!$$£d her cheeks.
“Now go inside, take your shower and come back for your food.” Cindy said.
“Yes ma.” Wisdom replied and was about going upstairs when his mother’s voice st©pped him.
“Wisdom, Sophia was here today.” Said Mrs Godwin.
“And?” Wisdom asked not facing his mother.
“And she complained bitterly that you have not been calling her and you don’t even picked her calls or reply her messages, why it’s so?” Mrs Godwin asked.
“Because I have no business with her.” Wisdom replied still not facing his mother.
“Wisdom, I want grandchildren, I want you to get married.” Mrs Godwin said.
“Mum plea-se, I will get married when the time comes.” Wisdom said facing his mother.
“Wisdom when?” Mrs Godwin asked.
“When I find the woman that suit my heart I will marry and give you and dad as many grandchildren as you both want but for now no.” Wisdom said.
“What kind of woman do you want when Sophia is there? She has everything you nee-d in a woman.” Mrs Godwin said.
“Mum sorry to ask, what exactly do you have in common with this Sophia of a girl?” Wisdom asked.
“Good question, Sophia is beautiful, intertelligent, responsible and she c@m£ from a very important and wealthy family and I know that she will make a very good wife to you.” Mrs Godwin said smiling.
“Umm I see, mum can you define the word RESPONSIBLE? Do you know the meaning of a responsible lady? Well if you don’t know, let me tell you, a responsible lady is a lady that respect herself and others, a lady that is humble, a responsible lady is a lady that doesn’t look down on others. I don’t want to marry a lady that cannot cook, clean or wash her un-derwear, I cannot marry an arrogant woman that does not have respect. I want to marry a RESPONSIBLE woman with a good heart.” Wisdom said.
“Why will she cook and clean when there is maid in the house.” Mrs Godwin said.
“Oh I can see that you are after wealth and status but unfortunately I can’t plea-se anyb©dy and displea-se myself.” Wisdom said and turned to his father.
“Dad, did you heard what your wife said?” He asked.
“Son, like I always told you, you are a grow up man and an adult so you have the right to choose the kind of woman you want to marry but choose wisely cause whoever you bought home as your wife, I shall bless the both of you.” Mr Godwin said.
“Thanks dad.” Wisdom said and turned to Mrs Godwin.
“Mum, what dad just said is true, wisdom is an adult for Christ sake and he has every right to choose the woman of his choice.” Cindy who has be standing there listening to everything finally spoke.
“Will you sh0t up your mouth!? Your mates are in their husband’s house and you are here interferring in your brother’s issue mitcheeew!!
Wisdom must marry whoever I choose for him and Sophia is the one I choose for him.” Mrs Godwin said.
“Then we shall see!!” Wisdom said and eyed her before walking to the stairs, Cindy and Mr Godwin also eyed her before they left the living room.
(“Hmmm, wisdom is just too stubborn like his late mother, he has grow winds to talk back at me, he want to ruined my plains but I won’t let it happen. He must marry Sophia dead or alive, hmmm anyway I know what to do.”) Mrs Godwin thought to herself and took her phone from the glas-s stool beside the sofe she was sitting.
