`Vicky prepared excitedly that at last he is going out of the house.

. He whistled happily under the shower as he takes his bath; he will be taking Lydia to school today for the first time. And his little secret, he is going to change her school, since she started school six years ago, the guards have been taking her to school but last night during his sexual romp with Stacy; he winced as how that have become their normal night routine and things he has to do to get her accept his plea; well there is no harm, he is getting it free of charge

He asked her to allow him take Lydia to school, with her head still wrapped around the sweet experience she accepted immediately and even assigned a car to him.

He whistled away as he dried his body, he scanned through his wardrobe looking for the best outfit to wear . He never runs shot of designer’s outfits, thanks to Stacy but he needs to appear as a responsible parent.

“yes, he is going to register Lydia in a new school and put his name as the Dad”

Finally settling on a red shirt with a denim blue jeans, he choose a red sneakers to match and began to dress; he wants to dress like a Dad but there is nothing like that in his wardrobe

A tiny knock on the door averted his eyes from the mirror and watched as the door opened and Lydia(x) came inside already dressed in her school uniform. “Daddy, see my school uniform is torn under the armpit” she says showing Vicky the open armpit

Vicky bent to examine it “don’t worry, you wont need it any more”

“Why”

“Because Daddy wants to change you to a new school”

“Yehhhh” Lydia(x) shouts jumping up and down “I will love to change; the boys in my school likes picking fight and aunty refused to change me to a new school when I complained to her”

Vicky laughed and placed his fingers over his lips “don’t tell your aunty okay”

She made a funny face and zipped her mouth “I won’t”

“Okay lets go” Vicky says putting his hair comb down

They held their hands together and walked to his new car

After a quite silent drive to the school, Vicky decides to ask the questions that have been bothering him; he slowed down “Lydia, why don’t you like calling Stacy mummy”

Lydia kept quiet for a while “are you married to her”

“Noooo”

“is she my mummy”

“No, but she adopted you so she have every right for you to call her mummy”

“she doesn’t treat me like her daughter only you, so I like you and I will call you Daddy” she says with a note of finality and placed her earphone back, soon she starts nodding to the music.

Vicky stared at her for seconds and focused on his driving “why will she be certain about her opinion of someone else while him who is supposed to do something about his life just sat down enjoying the preferential treatment; maybe he has to make very important decision for himself”

He eased his car to the car park and they got down

. Lydia slipped her hands to his and held him tightly; he smiled determined to make her a worthy champ.

They were almost at the entrance when he heard a tyre screech suddenly, he turned but on seeing the driver is perfectly fine and a female at that, he left and entered the building “women always have a funny way of driving” he concludes

The registration did not cost him much as he expected’ he registered her and him as the daddy and no other choice than to put Stacy as the mother. He doesn’t want to believe that the parents of the beautiful girl are dead.

Soon he was on his way back home; he stopped at a bar to think things over. He has to start to try seeing a doctor, he is no longer comfortable with his loss of memory and Stacy constant assurance that he will be okay; he is a man and needs to start acting as one.

The last time he confided in Stacy of his dream, he has not had anything to remember of the past and anytime he tries the heavy headache that follows makes him not to try anymore.

He finished the alcohol that he was drinking, paid his bill and stood up determined to tell Stacy of his decision to pick up an appointment with a doctor.

*****

At home he met Stacy standing at the door way with her face showing how angry she is “how many hours did you spend just to take her to school” she queried immediately she got nearer

“I stopped somewhere” he half murmured

“to see a girl, you had an appointment with a girl” she asks in a rush with a hint of jealousy

Vicky laughed at her poor way of hiding jealousy; he drew her nearer and placed his hands on her shoulder “you locked me up here for over a decade how am I to know another woman” he wanted to blurt out to her face but instead he heard himself say “I have no other woman” he said and smiled. He pecked her and her shoulder dropped in relaxation

Vicky peered at her hurtful eyes wondering if to tell her of his decision “maybe later at night when she would be in a happy mood” he resolved and turned to go

“We will be travelling down to Ubala at summer” Lydia says biting her lips.

The name rings in Vicky’s head; he searched his head but came up with nothing “maybe he has to accept and know why the place sounds familiar”

He just shrugged “No problem, we will go” he answers and disappears into his room.

A smile of victory displayed on Stacy’s lips, her victory is drawing near. She was so happy when Vicky’s Dad called demanding of Vicky’s whereabouts. She played it cool until she got the reason of his searching for Vicky and when the offer seems juicy she promised to search for him and bring him back at summer. But there is something remaining “she is yet to be pregnant” she dismissed the thoughts “that is not a problem, once there she will try her best to be chosen as his bride” she smiled and danced happily to the kitchen

“she is going to cook today”
