The Reunion 2
A young man dressed in cooperate white and black suit walks into the safe haven slowly.
āThis your boss, itās been weeks now and I havenāt seen him, who on earth could he be?ā Esther asked one of the ladies taking care of her.
āhe said I should let you know that your request to let your parents know about your survival has been granted. He will reveal himself when the time is due, he is quite a very busy man you know.ā The lady replied.
āJust tell him I am grateful for everything, saving me and taking care of me in his own house. Doing everything humanly possible to make sure all my needs and request are met, like who one earth would do such a thing?ā Esther questioned.
āSomeone who promised not to see you get hurtā A deep voice replied from behind
Esther looked to see who it was only to meet the greatest shock of her life āRichard??ā She exclaimed with a doubt look on her face.
āWho else will it be silly, of coz itās meā Richard replied
āOh my Goā¦d!, I canāt believe this!ā Esther said as she ran toward Richard and gave him a big ālong time no see- hug
āI know you are excited and all that, b..ut .. I ca..nt bre.a..thā Richard managed to speak drawing himself from Estherās tight hug.
āyou brat.. , itās been you all these whileā Esther replied.
Richard chuckles
ālooks like someone is all rich and successful nowā Esther teased.
āAh! Common, I was never poor, you were a bit richer than me then, thatās why you didnāt feel my moneyā Richard bragged.
ātaa, poor church rat like you, you think I didnāt see you hide the soaked garri whenever I visitā Esther burst Richardās brains.
āOh my G..od! you noticed .. ah! .. who says rich people donāt soak Garri?ā Richard tried to cover up as they laughed out loud.
āI am so happy to see you Richardā Esther confessed.
āyea, me too. Someone decided to drop by and say helloā Richard said as Estherās Parents and her 5years old daughter walked into the room.
āMummy!ā The little Girl screamed in excitement as she ran towards Esther.
āMy one and only Ellaā Esther said as she spread her hands to receive the warm hug from her daughter.
āI missed you mummy, where have you been? My new daddy said a lot about you ā the little girl named Emmanuella (Ella for Short) asked.
āI just decided to spend some time with your new dad, hope you like him?ā Esther asked
āyes mummy, he bought me a teddy bearā Ella replied.
It was a lovely moment, Esther reuniting with her family after the whole drama that happened few weeks ago, one thing was sure though, Estherās mum wanted to cut off her neck for even planning to kill her self in the first place. It was after the house warming and reunion party that Esther had some lone time with Richard.
āSo, I was driving very close to Lagos 3rd mainland bridge when I saw a beautiful lady in tears, running hopelessly. She looked heartbroken. I was on a high speed when she ran past my car, I came to a halt immediately to know what could make a lady shed tears and run like the world has given up on her, immediately I stopped the car to look through the side mirrow, I saw this lady dive into the Lagoon. I quickly rushed and made a jump too. She was still struggling with the water when I jumped in, by the time I could get her out of the water, she was already unconscious. I took a public transport and brought her here to the safe haven so my private doctors would revive herā Gabriel Explained.
āSpecial thanks to this man that saved the day, I really appreciateā Esther replied to the lovely story.
āWhat would make a beautiful lady like you want to commit suicide?ā Richard questioned.
Esther took a deep breath.
āGabriel canceled the marriage, I was going to meet him so he would help me choose the best wedding gown, I met him just to hear him say the words. I was pained, heartbroken and shattered. I wasenāt thinking straight. I needed the fastest way to escape that feeling. When I saw the lagoon, the only thing my mind could whisper was ājump inā ⦠your car almost hit me but I didnāt care.ā Esther replied trying to fight her tears.
āHe denied me on National TVā¦ā Esther broke into tears
āHe dosenāt deserve your tears you knowā Richard said as he tried to wipe those tears away.
āwell, this Gabriel of a guy has been on my neck for some time though. Being a successful newbie in the media and advertisement industry has not been an easy one. I was still struggling till one company I worked with got my company to fame. Then, LEAD THE WAVE EMPIRE being my role model tried to steal the shine, this company went behind my back to tell my investors and prospective clients bad things about the company. They badmouthed my company to the extent that all my investors and shareholders withdrew to join them. The fact that my company has no owner was their main point of wash. ā
āAh!, you donāt mean itā Esther responded in shock.
āCurrently, the company just as the press described is a company run by ghost, this is because I have not yet come out as the owner. I am scared these desperate companies would want to get me out of the way if I try suchā Gabriel revealed.
āseriously, I have been hearing about this company of yours. The one small advertising agency that came out last two years and skyrocketed to the top, people described your services as top notch. You have the minds of top brands. But there is one thing lacking which is a major point of trust and relationship. You need to present an ownerā Esther replied.
āGabriel hurt me when he decided to call off the marriage just to protect his family ego, I never wanted this marriage, he came for it, made me fall in love and think he can just call off a marriage just like that days before the wedding and traditional marriage. i will make sure I bring his business down, I will make sure I do everything in my power to make him payā Esther replied.
āwe could leave all these and walk away, leave Gabriel, continue with my company ..ā
Esther cuts in āNo, I didnāt survive a sucide attempt for a peace keeping mission. Even when Iām dead, this boy I think loves me had the guts to deny me on national TV without remourse.. LETS MAKE THIS EVIL FAMILY PAY!ā Esther replied.
āThatās my Girlā Richard said as he makes what most Nigerians would describe as wicked smile.
