The Epiphany 14
“Father, I wish to appreciate you for finding me worthy to be your son-in-law. I promise to take good care of your daughter.”
“I have no doubt that you must be a gentleman for my choosy daughter to have accepted to marry you.”
“Thank you father. We would like to start the marriage process on Monday if it is okay by you.”
“You have my blessings. I will always be there for you.”
“I appreciate, father. I will not let you down.”
Subsequently, they had coffee, and they walked him to the verandah.
“All right, Henry, take care of yourself.”
“Thank you father, thank you, mom.”
They walked backed to the parlor while Miss Harriet David walked him to the car and requested.
“Tell me. Why did you laugh? You promised to let me know before the end of today.”
Mr. Henry Taylor laughed heartily again and corrected.
“The day had not ended. I will tell you before the online game.”
Now, she pouted like a silly child and pleaded.
“Don’t keep me in suspense, please.”
“No. I will not. If you will not be too busy, we can log on earlier. Or what do you think?”
“It is all right. I will come online earlier than usual.”
“Thank you. Take care.”
“Be careful.”
“I will.”
He turned on his ignition and fastened his seatbelt while she looked on before he moved, he smiled cunningly and teased.
“I hope the poet will be able to sleep alone tonight?”
Without waiting for her response, he drove off.
“Ha!”
She exclaimed before she laughed and waved at the same time. When he drove out of sight, she returned to the parlor to meet her parents, who were waiting for her with loads of questions. Meanwhile, she was able to answer their questions to their satisfaction. Then, his father summarized with an answer to his prayer.
“Now, I have a son-in-law who I can relate like Arthur.”
They laughed happily, and she ran to her room to prepare for the online game, at least to enable her to know why Henry was laughing. When she was through, she got into her bed, picked up her device to log on. Then, she noticed that he had sent a video and a message to her. She hastily punched on the video and began to watch. To her surprise, the video was on all that took place at Mr. Henry Taylor’s house while she was there.
“What!”
She screamed when she saw when they engaged in a passionate kiss which lasted longer than she could imagine. When the video ended, she replayed it and watched it over and over again. Now, she was shedding tears of joy afterwards, she muttered.
“You have been so close to my heart.”
After a while, she gave him a call. When he laughed and asked, ‘I hope the poet will be able to sleep alone tonight’, he was aware of the impact that the video would have on her. He giggled before he picked the call and greeted.
“Hello, My Sunshine.”
“Hello, my Treasure.”
She responded with a voice filled with love, and Henry could feel it. Then, he asked.
“What’s up? Have you watched my video?”
“Yes.”
“I see. What do you think about it?”
“I think it is the threshold of an unending love.”
“I also think the same way. I love you, my Sunshine.”
“I love you, my Treasure. Thank you for your thoughtfulness in keeping our first meeting recorded.”
“You are welcome. I am happy that you love it.”
“Yes. I love it.”
“It is a special day for me. I will always watch our first hugs and first kiss.”
“Yes. Me too.”
“I see. So, how do you feel presently?”
Now, Miss Harriet David, who was already horny, could not respond to his question. After a few seconds of silence, he chuckled and asked again.
“Do you miss me?”
“I do.”
“I miss you too. It is just thirty more days, you will be my legally wedded wife.”
“I can’t wait.”
Afterwards, they continued with their online game.
Sunday – At the Barracks.
After Mr. Denise Bailey pointed it out to his uncle that his stupid apologies were not accepted unless he produced the wolves on Saturday, he was relieved when he learned that the authority had their eyes on him. So, he did not dwell much on his condition to Mr. Stephen Bailey. Besides, in the cause of the week, his father got an email from the Patriarch, Mr. Trevor Bailey that there would be a meeting of the Family Heads, so his father asked him to hold on.
Now, the essence of the visit to Mr. Arthur Bailey by Mr. Stephen Bailey’s Family Head, was to foster a reconciliation between the two. Secondly, to request that Mr. Arthur Bailey should refund the one million compensation to Stephen to resuscitate his bombed resort. But, from the look of things, making such request may not be feasible again. At 12:30 PM, Mr. Arthur Bailey set out to attend the meeting. Then, Nichole, who was skeptical about the meeting, walked him to the vestibule and watch his driver drove off.
“Be careful, Hubby.”
She warned as she waved at them. Mr. Arthur Bailey, who knew her fear, chuckled and replied.
“Thank you, dear. I will.”
Now, at 12:45 PM, he arrived at the courtyard of the Patriarch and got off while the driver looked out for a suitable place to park his car. He walked into his parlor to say hello to him and inform him officially of his marriage with Nichole before the meeting. To his surprise, the Patriarch, who had been thinking that he would not show up but send his repulsive son, Denise, saw such gesture as a great honor.
“Good day, our father. Good to see you.”
“Good day, Arthur, welcome to my home.”
“Thank you.”
“Kindly take your seat.”
Mr. Arthur Bailey took his seat gracefully and the Patriarch began to tender his complaint, just like every old man who must always accuse the younger generation of negligent.
