Anjola - Episode 11

 

Mommy please, not again, i don't seem to understand why you'd want me to resign from my new job, you know how lucky i was to get that job you said so yourself!!" Anjola cried,

Mrs Wonu had returned home earlier than expected, and she had been quite moody asking Anjy countless times if Bimpe had told her anything out of the box, Like what? she had asked,wondering what was happening in the house that had been so peaceful. Then this morning her mother had thrown a shocker telling her point blank that she must resign from her current job..

"Anjola if truly i was the one that birthed you, and you sulked from this two breasts of mine you will resign from that job! Of all the companies you could work for, why AANU holdings, Bimpe has spoiled you abi? how many weeks have i left for that you're already disobeying me." Mrs Wonu screamed,

"Mom you aren't being fair to Auntie mi, she has been nothing but caring all this while, telling me to quit my job isn't going to solve anything, for Christ sakes at least give me a reason why i must Mom? You can't just expect me to resign without any backup plan its going to affect my portfolio and you know it . Mom please reason with me." Anjela pleaded

"So I'm not being fair right? Look young lady as long as you're under my roof you must abide by my rules, i want you to resign and resign you will

. Im giving you just two weeks, or I'd come over to that company and resign for you." Mrs Wonu left the living room going straight to her bedroom. 

Anjola stood looking bewildered, it was so unlike mumcy to act that way? Her phone beeped,Demi. She swiped up her phone reading the text, Im outside.xoxo.. She smiled, running to pull the curtains aside truly and surely there he was, looking so handsome in his rumpled shirt and tired look... Anjy ran out the door, falling into his arms, 

"How was the conference?" Anjy asked, he'd left for a two day conference at the headquarters and it had felt like he had been gone forever.

Demi smiled, sweeping down for a quick kiss..."Hmm... can't believe i left all this for one silly conference." He said kissing her neck and finally her nose. 

Anjola blushed, she still couldn't believe she had such hold on a man such as Demi, he'd told her he liked her and wanted them to see where the likeness lead them, he was open to a relationship when the time came, and Anjy was patiently hoping. "How can you call the conference silly,I thought you said, the conference was mainly to prove yourself capable to the board."

"I know...i know...But i missed you all through.. And the board was quite pleased with me, much to the amazement of my father, he's my father but he never thought much of me, sending me to the smallest company in his empire was mainly to keep me out of his hair and trouble." Demi said, smiling.

Anjola frowned, "What do you mean by trouble."

Demi chuckled, "Well, necessary evils if you get my meaning." He winked at a sullen Anjola, "But, before you crucify me, I'm a changed man, those things don't matter anymore,ever since you stepped into my life things have changed,i want to be a better man worthy of your love Anjola, i don't know what this feeling is, but I'd be a fool to ignore it." He concluded 

Anjola was dumbfounded, "Demilade...i thought you said you wanted us to take our time first, to be sure... 

He placed his fingers on her mouth, "shh.. Baby,i haven't been so sure of anything as i am right now, im not promising you a smooth time together in fact far from it, my parents are such perfectionists and they might not like us dating,but I'd always be right here,with you. And I believe that you can win them over as you did me." He said. "Give me your hand. "Demi continued,he brought out a diamond encrusted bracelet, with the name Demi boldly Nestled in each Diamond.

. Demi fastened it quickly around her wrists. 

Anjola gasped, "Demilade, this is too much i can't accept this."

"Babe please don't start, why must we argue over the things i buy you,you don't expect me to get you gifts from the slum now do you?"

Anjola worried her charred lips,"well.. What I'm saying is you could have gotten a cheaper one.one that doesn't cost so much, its unfair to..

Demi sighed dramatically,"Anjola,you are priceless and that's why i got you this Jewel, I want you to accept this as a gift from my heart. You know how much you mean to me don't you?"

Anjola cleared her clogged throat wiping at her tears, "Demilade, I know, but I'm scared that our parents would try to.. 

"Break us up? Anjola..you're such a worrywart!!we will cross that bridge when we get there. Tell me how has work being?"

Anjola leaned back resting on his chest,"Tiring,Pami has been a hard taskmaster, she says i look like a china doll ready to break any minute, so to prove her wrong I've been working twice as hard,she was impressed." Anjola concluded 

"Hmm.. That's my girl." Demi praised 

Anjola sighed heavily, remembering her previous argument with Mom 

"Mom wants me to resign."

Demi started, turning Anjola to face him, "Why?"

"She didn't say, just that she wanted me to resign or she would resign for me. She was quite emotional about it."

"what do you want to do now."

"I know my Mom, will try talking to her, when she comes out of her room."

"Oh she's back? "

Anjola nodded

"whatever your decision is, I will always be here for you both. Come, ive got something for you." Demi said 

Anjola followed behind," Again, Demilade this gifts are getting too much, you know... 

"It's not a gift, i took mumcy to the mall and saw these, i had imagined how they'd look on you so i decided to buy them."

Anjola stared at the designer box wondering what could lay inside.she'd check later.. She stood on tip toe, and pecked him on the cheek, "Thank you." she whispered 

Demi smiled to self, he gathered her in his arms kissing her deeply, much to Anjola's surprise, "I didn't give that willingly." Anjola said smacking his arm

"ow!! then why did you close your eyes?"

Anjola boiled, "You bigheaded cow!!"

Demi chuckled, leaning in for one last kiss, he ran into his car, poking his head out, "Babe, you love this 'BIGHEADED'cow. See you tomorrow." He waved

Anjola laughed, cupping both hands around her mouth, "Good night baby, call me when you get home."

Demi saluted, "Yes ma'am."

He zoomed off gathering dust as he sped by. 

Anjola turned towards the house package in hand and her new bracelet twinkling beneath the sunset, Indeed Life Was Good. 

Mrs Wonu was facing the door when Anjola stepped in, "And who was that?" Mrs Wonu inquired

Anjola stilled, she had forgotten all about Mom, "Mom, what are you doing by the door, it was Demi. He just returned from his trip, he came to say hello."

Mrs Wonu nodded, "Don't forget what I said earlier, i was quite serious." Mrs Wonu said leaving for the kitchen

Anjola sighed with exasperation, so much for thinking Life was Good. She headed for her room.

Why was Mom doing this to Her? Anjola wondered
