THE PRESIDENT DAUGHTER
SEASON… 2….EPISODE…. 20
A week later after resuming school, Nancy
c@m£ in and We made her stay in my place
as planned without her knowledge at first
untill we explained to her how I got to be
living in that hvge house. She had no choice
but to concur to the arrangement we made.
She thought I was staying in a single room
with room mates thats why she wanted to
stay with Mirabel. We told her that, both
Mirabel and I don’t have room mates. She
asked why but no explanation was provided
for her. She concluded on alre-ady having a
place to stay when She starts schooling
with us. And as for me,,, I now have a cook
for two to three months. Even though Dad
will return home before then, still he won’t
be stable so there’s no nee-d for Nancy to
be going and coming. She will only go home
when Momma arrives.
I later spoke with my Sister; Joy on phone
to talk to her and also congratulate her for
giving birth safely,,, Her Husband wasn’t
even around, He flew to Cape Town, South
Africa. He was a Pilot.
On a Tuesday afternoon after school,
Mirabel and Promise went to their places
while I left for mine,,, I got a call from
Dorothy before I entered the house and the
following conversation ensued…
Dorothy: I want to come stay with You even
for a week
Me: Why?
Dorothy: Because I miss You and I’d also
like to know the School that I’d be going as
from next year
Me: You applied for the University?
Dorothy: Yes, I didn’t tell You?
Me: I don’t think so
Dorothy: Its okay… hope I can come?
Me: No You can’t come,,, If You really want
to know about the school, You should look
for a girl to stay with or better still, wait for
the post UTME Exams
Dorothy: Are You refusing me again?
Me: Look D’thy, I’m in a relationsh!p, a
serious one and I won’t jeopardize that ok?
Dorothy: Oh! I see… I should have known,
now I get it,,, so this is what all this is all
about? abandoning me for some cheap s–t?
Me: D’thy You have to calm down
Dorothy: Calm down? I should calm down??
After everything You did to me and all what
I went throu-gh for You, this is what I get?
Me: We’ve talked about this before, I asked
for Your forgiveness and You forgave me so
why are You like this?
Dorothy: I might have tried to forgive You,
but never to forget! and besides, I told You I
only forgave You p@rtially not fully
Me: Come on,,, You were pu-lling my legs by
then
Dorothy: No I wasn’t! I was serious about it
and I made it pretty clear to You
Me: Then what should I do to get Your full
forgiveness?
Dorothy: You know what to do
Me: I don’t know
Dorothy: Yes You do
Me: No I don’t
Dorothy: Text me Your address so we can
talk face to face
Me: I can’t do that, You can’t come over
here D’thy, We can talk on phone
Dorothy: Okay,,, I want You to get rid of
that s–t You call Your girlfriend so We can
be together
Me: No way, that’s never gonna happen, I
mean… it won’t work
Dorothy: It will happen, No girl can have
You if I don’t. Even if You turn g@y, no guy
will have You still. You are for me
Me: I have always known that You’re not
smart, but I didn’t realized that You’re this
stup!d,,, can You listen to Youself?
Dorothy: I have told You, its either me or no
other
**Hangs Up**
I just laughed to Her stupidity and went
inside inside the house. Nancy served me a
good meal which I ate and drank a cool
yoghurt, then I went to sleep while Nancy
has been using my wireless modem all day.
I woke up later in the evening around 4 or
5pm (Nigerian time) I checked my phone
and saw some missed calls from Momma
and also from Mirabel whom I saved as
‘Love Mi’ of which the Yoru-ba can translate
to My Love but I actually abbreviated her
name to ‘Mi’ – Love Mirabel so it bec@m£
of two sides either ‘Love Mirabel’ or ‘My
Love’ and I also missed a call from Dorothy
too.
First of all, I dialled Momma’s number,,, we
just exchanged plea-sanries, asked about our
wellbeing and all of that bla bla bla. Before
I dialled Mirabel, She picked the call in no
time.
Me: Hei Sweetheart
Mirabel: Hi, where have You been that I’ve
been calling You?
Me: I was slee-ping, I had to rest from the
h0t lectures we had today
Mirabel: I thought as much because I know
You can’t just refuse to pick my call, but
even at that, you should’ve known that I
was the one calling and You should’ve
woken up to pick
Me: How?
Mirabel: From Your dream na
Me: Very funny
Mirabel: Yeah,,, It was meant to be joke
and t…
What I heard was “Your call credit has been
exausted and Your call terminated” and You
know what that means. I didn’t even get a
warning like “You have one minute
remaining”.
She called me back in less than 10 seconds
and I picked up immediately.
Me: Hello
Mirabel: Don’t tell me it was Your call that
finished
Me: What else do You expect it to look
like? Or I just hanged up on You?
Mirabel: I was only teasing, You don’t have
to answer me that way
Me: **Laughing** I was teasing You as
well,,, So what’s up?
Mirabel: I’m home watching a cool movie,
So I won’t be coming around today
Me: Okay,,, and what movie is that that
captivated You like that?
Mirabel: Its a Korean
Me: You watch it too?
Mirabel: Yeah… just started it recently,,,
with the influence of Lola and Cynthia
Me: I see,,, If such a movie could hinder
You from coming here, then I think its very
interesting
Mirabel: It is very interesting
Me: Okay,,, You should bring that p@rticular
one You’re watching to me tomorrow
Mirabel: Ok I will
Me: Alright continue Your movie, we’ll talk
later in the night before I sleep
Mirabel: Ok dear, love you… Nnmuah
Me: I love You too sweetheart, bye
Mirabel: Byeeee…
**Hangs Up**
I refused to call Dorothy, I might even block
Her again. I checked my unre-ad messages
and I saw two messages from Mirabel which
re-ad “Where are you and why are you not
picking up my calls?” and the second one
“Are You there??” I supposed It was when I
was slee-ping and missed Her calls. I saw a
message from First Bank then I recalled
when Momma said She’ll back up some
money in my account. I opened it quic-kly
and saw that my account has been credited
but it wasn’t from my Mum nor from the
Boss because I know their account number.
I relaxed to think for a moment…
*Could it be Mirabel?
*And why would She s£nd me money after
all what Mum had told Her about not giving
Me Her money?
*Or Mirabel did it so I won’t know that its
from Her?
*But who else can s£nd Me money?
My thought got to my Engineer Uncle, but
He doesn’t s£nd me money just like that,
untill I call or something
*Or was it a wrong transfer?
*Should I contact the Bank?
I called Momma but She said She didn’t
s£nd the money, I called the Boss,,,
thinking He’d asked if I have I gotten the
money but He didn’t, which means He
wasn’t the one. I called and asked Mirabel
but She denied responsibility.
Then who is responsible for crediting my
accouunt??
And what should I do??
It could be a wrong transfer.
THE PRESIDENT DAUGHTER
SEASON…. 2…EPISODE…… 21
After much thoughts, I decided to call My
Uncle to greet Him and there I can also
know if He’s the one that s£nt the money
or not,,, afterall, He told me to call Him
whenever I get to School. I dialled His
number… and He picked up.
Me: Hello Sir
Uncle: How are You Victor?
Me: I’m fine Sir
Uncle: I spoke with Your Dad, He told me
Joy has delivered a baby
Me: Yes Sir, We thank God for the save
delivery
Uncle: Yes,,, and I’m made to un-derstand
that You’re in School alre-ady
Me: Yes, We’ve resumed Sir
Uncle: I told You to call me when You get
to school right?
Me: Yes You did, I apologize for not calling
Uncle: Did You get the alert?
Me: Yes I did, thanks a lot Sir,,, I really
appreciate Your support and kind gesture
Uncle: Its okay,,, make sure You study ha-rd ,
We nee-d a better result in the Family or
don’t You want to beat my record?
Me: **Laughs** Sir We’re trying
Uncle: Don’t just be trying, ensure that You
get to be sure of Yourself
Me: Okay… thank You Sir
Uncle: Alright, I just got home from work,,,,
so bye lemme rest a little
Me: Ok bye Sir.
Woah,,, I c@m£ to School to study, but I’m
balling in School!
I went to the Parlor, Nancy was there
watching TV
Me: Now You’re tired of browsing and
chatting abi
Nancy: The thing just st©pped working
Me: How do You mean?
Nancy: I don’t know oh,,, its connected but
not browsing and the network is ok
Me: Chai! You have finished My MB
Nancy: What?
Me: Quiet jare! Msteeeew chai! exausted 10
Gigabytes of data in less than three
weeks,,, Great!
I left Her in the Parlor, went inside my
room, gr@bb£d my notes and went to the
house libr@ry to re-ad. That’s my secret for
answering well in clas-s and also performing
well in tests. I study whatever that I was
taught in School later in the evening and
also raed it again in the early morning of
when We have the Lecture again. All what
We were taught from Monday to Friday, I
studied them at home on Saturdays and
sundays. So don’t think that I’m so
intelligent or calling me a genius for my
intelligence,,, Its because I studied ha-rd .
My Uncle wants His record of having
Second Clas-s Upper to be broken, I thought
for a little. He was the one with the highest
result in the family, My Dad had Second
Clas-s Lower which put him in the Second
place after My uncle. That day was the day I
officially set My goal of beating My Uncle’s
record. And You know what that means,
First Clas-s things.
I left the libr@ry after for almost two hours, I
dropped my notes in the room before
walking to the Parlor, Nancy was still there
watching TV, Although I perceived
something coming out from the kitchen’s
direction.
Me: What are You preparing?
Nancy: Spaghetti
Me: Again?
Nancy: We ate rice in the Afternoon, what’s
again?
Me: Are they not the same thing? Can’t You
cook something else rather than these
starchy foods? If not rice its spaghetti or
noodles or yam sometimes
Nancy: But there’s nothing else in the
kitchen
Me: What about Semo or pounded yam
Nancy: There are no ingredients for soup in
the kitchen
Me: Can’t You buy them and other things
from the market?
Nancy: With which money? and things like
what?
Me: Things like Platein, both irish and
sweet potatoes, like that
Nancy: Bro just give me money and I will
get them tomorrow
Me: No problem, but You will use Your
money to buy meat and fish
Nancy: Why?
Me: Are You not the one that eat it more?
See how You’re getting fat here
Nancy: I am Your responsibility na, You’re
my s£nior bro and I’m in Your place so You
will have to take care of me
Me: Na true, go check we-tin dey fire jare…
I’m hungry
Nancy: Yes boss
She went to the kitchen while I took the
remote to the channel to either music or
sport channel. She c@m£ back a couple of
minutes later with my food, I ate and rested
before calling Mirabel and then retired to
be-d after praying for the night and the new
day I’ll be entering.
The next day in School, I met and chat with
lola, Mirabel and promise with some
quarter-friends that we only greet each
other or talk about lectures only. Lola and
Cynthia c@m£ to our Dep@rtment when we
were free,,, We all had lunch together, that
is Lola, Cynthia, Mirabel, Promise and I.
Our first semester result c@m£ out and I did
great except for Maths that I had “C”, I
really nee-ded to work very ha-rd on Maths.
Mirabel and Promise did very well too,,,
And surprisingly, Lola and Cynthia’s result
wasn’t bad at all. I guess they have their
way because,,, those girls ain’t really
serious with their studies.
As time goes by, Lola and I bec@m£ close
friends. I snatched her from Mirabel same
way She snatched Promise from Me. I got
to learn the other side of Lola, She’s fun to
be with, full of exciting stories and
experience.
I couldn’t take it anymore from Dorothy, so
I brou-ght the situation to Lola not telling
Mirabel about it. She told me to pl@yalong
with Dorothy, that instead of giving her my
house address, I should give her another
address where she (Dorothy) would meet me
and She’ll take care of the rest. I did what
Lola told me to do,,, I pretended to give in
to Dorothy’s plea-s and made her to meet
me in a certain place. She c@m£ at the
appointed time and I drove her with the car
Lola gave me to use to the address she
provided. I didn’t know what she wanted to
do, and my mind didn’t even think of Lola
killing Dorothy at all.
We arrived the location, an uncompleted
building and I horned as Lola directed me to
do.
Dorothy: Victor don’t tell me You live here
Me: No I don’t
Dorothy: Then what are we doing here?
Me: Just c@m£ to check on someone
Dorothy: Victor I’m not comfortable with
this place, let’s go
Lola: Nob©dy is going nowhere,,, yet
Lola showed up with Cynthia and other two
girls looking weird and dangerous, I was
scared myself.
Dorothy: Victor what’s going on here? Is this
a set up?? You want to kill me,,, Victor You
want to kill me???
Cynthia: Shut up b!tch!
Dorothy: Victor plea-se don’t do this to me I
beg You **Almost crying**
I didn’t know what to say or do, I couldn’t
even un-derstand what was going on
Lola: So You’re scared huh? **Lighting a
cigeratte for herself**
Dorothy: plea-se don’t harm me…
Lola: Shut up! Now tell me, why are You
even begging?
Dorothy: What?
Lola: Why are You begging for Your life? Do
You know me from somewhere??
Dorothy: No
Lola: And why are You begging? I’m not
even holding any weapon
Dorothy: I’m sor-ry
Lola: Now listen and let this be clear to
You, Victor is my b©yfri£ndand I’m not
sharing his d!ck with no b!tch,,, You got
that?
Dorothy: Yes yes yes (Shivering)
Lola: Stay clear of his d!ck, is that
un-derstandable?
Dorothy: Yes I un-derstand
Lola: Good girl,,, just make sure that the
next time You and I get to meet again, It
shouldn’t be like this okay?
Dorothy: Yes plea-seee…
Lola: Victor darling, take this girl to where
You got her from (Walked back to where
she c@m£ out from with the girls)
Me: Okay…. D’thy lets go
I felt pity on her, She was so scared and
terrified. She stood up walked out in a
hurry, I ran after her.
Me: D’thy wait
**She kept on moving**
Me: D’thy wait lemme drop You
Dorothy: So this is how wicked and
heartless You are? How dare You put me in
this kind of situation?! How dare You do
this to me?
Me: I never wanted this to h…
Dorothy: **Cuts in** You’re very wicked! I
was too blind to realize it all this while,,, I
was so stupid and foolish geez!!
Me: plea-se hear me out
Dorothy: What for?
Me: plea-se just hear me out,,, it wasn’t
my…
Dorothy: **Cuts in** Cut the cra-p You b—–
d! I will never forgive You for this, Never!
**Walks away hastily**
Me: D’thy! Dorothy!!
She left without looking back. I felt so
horrible.
I kept dialling her number from that day but
she kept rejecting my call till her line
st©pped going throu-gh, I thought she had
blocked my line so I tried using another line
but it still didn’t go throu-gh.
*******************
In School on a Wednesday afternoon, Lola
announced that her birthday was coming up
on Friday but she’s going to celebr@te it on
Sunday evening. One talk led to another
and they c@m£ up with an idea to have a
dinner in respect of Lola’s upcoming
birthday at Mirabel’s lodge. That would be
the first time Nancy will be going there. I
begged Lola specifically not to involve
Nancy on any act, because Nancy claimed to
like Lola on their first meeting and always
want her around. She promised to be cool
and friendly with Nancy and nothing else.
Promise said she can’t come and didn’t give
any suitable reason for not coming. Mirabel
tried to talk her in but she still declined.
When I got home, I told Nancy about the
upcoming birthday and she appeared to be
very happy, I causioned her to behave
herself for I won’t tolerate any misbehaviour
from her.
Sometimes I thought about going easy and
cool with Nancy, because she might rebel
against me later in the future when she
realizes some things. And I also thought
about something, if Nancy should go out
and start doing bad things now,,, what can I
even do to her?
