Dysfunctional - Episode 41

 

Sommy's POV

In Bosco's office I saw in his eyes hope of recuperating faster. Many molested individuals would always find a way out of remembering occurrences.
His way out was doing what he loves doing the most, getting some ass kicked in the court of law. Then it occurred to me one thing that can make any individual come out of any form of depression; passion.
I had a vision to write another book.
We spoke deeply during lunch, we talked about feelings to work and I volunteered during to help him out with one of his case. He had other plans but I had other ways to ease the whole thing. 
There are more than ten ways to make a runs babe speak. 
I went over to Mom's and i told her about the letter and it's contents . We had an emotional discussion about dad and I cried again.
I knew I was going to be emotional for a while. Then she brought up the topic about marriage once more and I let her in about Bosco. I told her that I wanted him as a life partner.

We had information that that the girl who threatened Seyi Badmus was at her usual club at Lekki so I decided to go dressed in the Jean shorts and a pink top, chewing a gum like a steroetype runs Babe.
Immediately I sighted the girl in the picture i walked towards her with a recorder on. She was by the bar drinking alone. 
"Fine babe like you just dey alone for inside club"
She turned to me with a rude look on her face

. "Sorry I don't do girls" she answered and I laughed. 
"That makes the two of us. Barman, give me something hot and hot, you know how this thing goes" I ordered still looking at her. 
She was staring at a man. "Him fine" I whispered to her, "But if you ask me, na bad market be that oh. I doubt if him carry the stuff wey we need" I said and she laughed. 
The bar tender placed the drink before me and I sipped.
"That's what I'm trying to observe too"
"If na fine, him fine Sha" I answered and she laughed again. "Na fine I wan chop?" She retorted and I faked laughter. She was already warming up to me.
I felt like a double agent, CIA needs to recruit me. "E get one bad market wey I carry oneday" I explained and she laughed. 
"The guy no carry cash shea?" 
"Yes." I answered and she chuckled. "Babe I can relate, for this our business, we gatz to shine our eyes"
She was already calling me Babe. I knew she was going to start spilling if I persisted.
"I don stop all this nonsense oh. I'm just looking for another really rich guy to knock me up so I'll be his baby daddy"
"You have a child already"
"Yes but the guy misbehaves atimes" I answered. 
"How about you? How you dey catch your guys?" I asked, "Easy," she moved closer. "I find the really rich guys, sleep with them and then accuse them of rape. Most times i package it in threat. You know all this ajebutter and their way of life na."
"I see. You na bad girl oh" I hailed and we gave her a hi-five. Then I texted Bosco to let him know she had already spilled it all. 
"Na your phone be that?" The girl asked in disgust. "The phone you use in this business determines the kind of guys you catch. Try upgrade" she brought out her iPhone and I faked a smile. 
Bosco walked in with a cap on his head. He didn't want people seeing the great John Bosco Bishop in a club.
He moved towards us placing a document close to her. "Oga comot your book for my front"
"My name is John Bosco Bishop. I hope you're familiar with that name."
 "Should I be?"
"You threatened my client of rape and you requested for money for your silence"
"Your client raped me"
"I believe there's a recording that proves that my client is innocent" he added and she turned over to me.
I raised the drink up at her. "Cheers" "You had me fooled" she said to me and I almost laughed.
"Miss, we can drag this to court but I promise you this, I'll ruin you, find out your dirty secrets and who knows you might spend time in jail. You are to sign an agreement that you won't bother Seyi Badmus again. If you go even go a hundred yard close to him, he has the right to have you arrested"
She batted her eyes at me then she asked for a pen. Bosco gave her one and she signed on it.

We got home laughing over the incident. "I feel like 007 right now" I added and he laughed pulling me close to him, "Thanks" he said and I smiled. 
"You're welcome" I answered looking into him eyes. "I love you" he confessed. It was actually his first time making such confession.
"That's a first" I muttered and he chuckled. "I seriously don't know what I would have done without you in my life."
"The feeling is mutual" I answered and we kissed passionately. I felt his hands raise my dress up and I shook my head in disapproval.
As much as I wanted to try this out, i didn't see him fit enough to take such decision yet. I wanted him to heal first.
Filda arrived from her honeymoon the next day. She looked fuller than before. "Marriage looks good on you"
"Don't be deceived Dr. Sommy, it's the pregnancy" she answered then moved over to me. 
"What have I missed?" "Bosco finally remembered" I blurted out. "What did he?"
"I'm sorry I won't divulge. That's as far as I can go. He'll be fine anyway and what do you think about working in a company where you would earn twice your salary here?"
"As tempting as that sounds. With the baby coming and responsibilities, I still want to work for you"
"You'll be working for me damn it!" I answered laughing and she raised her nose in disbelief.
"Is this like a April fool something? This isn't April"
"I'm starting up my own therapy organization. The place is very big" "Who says dating Bosco would not come with it's benefits?" She nudged at me playfully.
"It's not Bosco. I finally read dad's letter" I answered with a long pause. "Oh my God. Why didn't I get the gist sooner?"
"You were on your honeymoon"
"Screw the honeymoon! I feel like I'm in the past. Geez! I've missed a lot" she complained and I laughed. "Have you told CEO?"
"No" I answered, I didn't know how to tell him.
I went into his office, I noticed he was about leaving. "Going somewhere?" I asked and he nodded. 
"Yes. I have to pick my kids from school. My wife is kind of busy" he answered and I stretched a letter at him.
"What's this?" He asked, "My resignation letter" I answered and he opened his mouth in shock. "I don't understand. Have I done anything wrong?"
"No...I want to establish myself even more. I want to start up my own company"
"Dr. Sommy you're my best"
"I'm sorry but I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't necessary"
"I'm not happy at all! You do know I'll lose when you leave, why would you do this kind of thing?"
 "I'm sorry" I apologized.
"Sorry would not cut, I feel betrayed" he answered leaning on the chair. "Please leave my office" he demanded and I sighed in guilt. I didn't expect him to react this way.
"Please leave" he snapped and I walked out of the office. I felt bad.

"I didn't think he would take it that way?" I cried and Mrs. Ajayi scoffed.

. "How else did you expect him to react?" Juliet asked and I shook my head, "You're not helping matters"
"It's the truth girlfriend" Mrs Ajayi added. "He's not supposed to tell you congratulations. You're an enemy now. Do you know how many people, how many clients would follow your miracle working ass?" She added, this forced a chuckle out of me. 
"A lot of people would follow you" Filda answered and I cleaned my tears.
"We should be celebrating over this not mourning over what your boss thinks"
"Why are you acting as though you're on your periods?" Juliet asked and I laughed.
 "I'm on my period" I answered and Mrs. Ajayi, chorused 'Ehya'.
 "I miss my periods" Filda said out loud and we all laughed. "I want my period back" Mrs Ajayi confessed and I laughed even more.
"When you're pregnant there's no going back"  she added.
"Where's your drink?" Mrs. Ajayi stood up and I went into the room bringing out a wine. 
Juliet brought glasses from the kitchen. Mrs. Ajayi did the honors of pouring the drink into a the glass cups.
 "You're pregnant" I warned and she scoffed.
"Let's toast to Sommy and a new life which will be filled with prosperity," she paused, Juliet and Filda chorused 'Amen'.
"A life which will be filled with Joy cause she's a joy-giver and every joy-giver deserves joy. A life filled with happiness. We all know there's a difference between happiness and joy"
"Preach on Pastor!" Filda yelled and we all laughed.
"A life with s*x, lots and lots of it." She chipped and the Amen this time was louder.
 "And I wish her beautiful beautiful children with Bosco" she added and we all raised our glasses up. 
"I'll drink to that" Juliet and Filda answered in unison.
