"My son, this one you are back, what is it?" ... She asked with a tensed tone.

"Mommy everything is fine, where is dad?".. I asked, forcing her to hug me.

"Hmmmm he is inside, you are welcome" 
"Linda !!, come, your uncle is back".

Linda ran and jumped on me, I gave her the biscuit I bought on my way back and then went inside to meet my dad.

Mom was still outside cooking.

"Good afternoon dad" ...I greeted as I bowed to shake him.

"Odogwu, you came back?" ...

Odogwu is a name he started calling me after I took first in a class of 200, and emerged as the best student if the year.

"I brought good news dad" .. I said smiling 
He dressed and rolled the wheel chair and he said I should sit down.

"What is the good news my son"

"I am sorry if me having a girlfriend is going to get you angry, but I have a girlfriend" .. . I said with my head bent.

"You are in the university my son, you are matured enough, you just have to apply sense to it" .. He said with a go ahead smile.

"Dad am serious, what would have brought me back from school, its because of this" ...I tried convincing him.

"Have you told your mom?"

"I decided to tell you first before I let her shout Down the whole building" ...I said with a sarcastic laugh.

"My son, thank you, make sure you don't break the daughters heart, it my might be more dangerous than you can think of " .... He said.

When mom finished cooking, I had gone and taken my bath, and back to the parlour, she brought jollof rice, I had missed her jollof rice and then nice coincidence, I came back to meet her jollof rice.

We were all eating together like we used to, I felt that family again, at that moment I felt like not leaving again, the joy on my dad's face could be noticed easily .

"You are just smiling anyhow, what is the news that am missing " .... She asked

My Dad looked at me and then we laughed.

"You two should tell me what's going o, or I will take my food back to the kitchen" .. Typical mom, she would always threaten me and dad with taking her food back whenever she notice we are hiding a thing from her.

"I am traveling tomorrow with Gabriel" ... My dad said.

"Traveling to where ?" ... My curious mom asked.

"Which country is that again, odogwu?" .. He asked.

"Turkey" ... I said while we laughed .

"You both are not serious" .. My mom said laughing so hard.

"But I am serious, I am traveling with Gabriel tomorrow, then I will fly to turkey for surgery tomorrow night, you don't know that senator maxwell is your in law now ??"... My dad said without showing a serious face and it made it unbelievable.

"You, turkey, surgery, senator maxwell, that is senate president, you didn't construct the lie well, or is the leg affecting you brain?" ... She teases himhim.

"Mom on a serious note, thats gonna happen, I am travelling with dad tomorrow, senator maxwell offered to help" ... I said, sounding more convincing .

"Tell me the truth my son"

"I am telling you the truth mom"

"How then did you know the senator"

"The daughter is my girlfriend "

"Did you say girlfriend, you have a girlfriend and I don't know"

"I thought you and dad will be mad at me"

"You are in the university for crying out loud and it doesn't matter, you are an adult, give me that plate of rice for hiding such from me"... She stretched her hands while I dodge and laugh.

"I am sorry mom "

"So how did he get to know you, the daughter told him you guts are dating?"

"Nope she told the mom and the mom told him"

"So how did he know about your dad's predicament"

"I forgot my phone in the daughters car the night you sent that text and she saw it and then she told her mom who spoke to the dad" 

"and he offered to help?"

"He offered to help, he will fly him abroad with his private jet and get his doctor to do the surgery"

"That's good news"

"Now will you ask why I am just smiling again" ... Dad cuts

"Please keep smiling, its worth it" ... She said hugging her husband, I brought out my phone and snapped them .

"erm so when am I going to see our girlfriend? "

"Can't you allow this boy to rest, I can hear him say girlfriend and not wife" .. My dad cuts in again .

"If the girls mother didn't know about him, will all this be possible? " ... She defended

"My son give me her number leave your dad" 

I brought out my phone and gave her lina's number, they were still rejoicing when I left , I went to my room, how much I have missed my room, I called Lina to inform her I reached safe and then I called Hillary and henry to inform them that am not in town, I knew for sure they would be looking for me .

The next Morning, I woke up early, and then went to the bus station to chatter a bus that will take me and my dad, since his predicament is not advisable for him been where he won't be comfortable, plus the stress of taking him to the park and then taking him from the park to Lina's house, it was better taking him from the house to Lina's house.

The bus man agreed at 20thousand naira, and I reluctantly paid him, and then at 8am, he drove to the house, and after many good lucks a from mom, we left.
