When we got to town, I had this little confusion of where to keep my dad, I thought about keeping him in my house and then taking him to Lina's house when he is about to leave for the surgery, but on a second thought, Hillary and Henry might come around too, and Lina's dad had said they will fly him that night.

I gave the driver some directions as he drove through to the federal housing estates, and he drove down to the big ranch house again, I took my time to examine the exterior part of the house again, the house is really beautiful.

I got down from the car, and then helped to take my father down with the help of the driver, I called Lina on phone  to come outside, I have been texting her while on the road.

"Good afternoon sir"... She said as she came out ignoring me .

"Good afternoon my daughter, how are you doing".. . My dad acted cool for the first time with a female friend.

I was close to my dad, we do gist, play like mates but he never talked it likely when ever a female visits me.

"So you didn't see me" ... I let out.

"Please who are you, what is your name?" ... She replied and gave out a sigh and then the laughter followed.

"Lina this is my dad"..

"Dad this is Lina, my girlfriend"...

"Its nice to meet you sir, I am sorry for your predicament, but it will get better soon, you will walk again"...

. She was been so cool.

"Its nice to meet you too my daughter, your kindness is worth beholding, and em are you pretending or are you this nice?" ... My dad threw and we all laughed.

Now that's my dad.

"What about mom and dad"... I asked as we walked into the house, I was pushing the wheel chair.

"Dad went to meet with his pilot so they can run a check and service the jet if need be, erm mom went to her super market to check on sales, but she promised to be back immediately you are back".... She said scratching her hair.

"Ohh, that's cool, you will have to call mom then"

I pushed dad to the sitting room, and then helped him sit on the couch, and then the TV remote to find his favourite news channel, what again, he cherishes news  channels, he always comes with" so that we will know when to run and when to sleep comfortably".

"I will call her asap" ... She said walking to the dinning" you guys must be hungry, we made fried rice again, let me heat it up again, and em take his bags to the visitors room" ..

I took my dad's bag to the visitor's room, the room is just few steps from the sitting room.

"Dad call mom and inform her that we have reached, please"

"If you call her and tell her, what will happen?".. He fired back.

"ERM okay sir, we ain't quarreling yet, are we ?".. I teased him.

"We can't quarrel in another mans house" he said with a little laugh.

I picked up my phone to call mom while Lina served food for us , I helped dad to the dinning and after the meal, I helped her to the visitors room , helped him bath and then laid on the bed.

When I got out of his room, telling him to call me when he needs a thing .

I called Hills and Henry, I had missed them, when I call one of em I speak with the two of them, so I called Hillary.

"Hey dudes, whatsup?"

"Hey bro, we haven't seen you this two days, did Lina say you are too hot and wouldn't let you go out so that other girls won't take you from her"  Hills said

"Maybe he was forced to marry her by the parents, nigga is so good" henry added

"You both are crazy, well I have missed you two, whats popping, where are you guys"

"We are somewhere inside school discussing about Lillian" ... Hillary said.

"Does he know about Lillian, Henry"... I asked.

"Don't mind the over inquisitive he goat, besides he is a brother, its not bad telling him about her though"... Henry replied.

"we will catch up in school tomorrow then".... I said.

Ohhh!!! I am late for work already, the day before was my off day for the week , I rushed and prepared and then as I was leaving I met Lina's mom at the door.

"Gabriel, where you going?"..

"I am late for work already mom"

"You don't have to go"

"My boss will sack me ma"

"You are quitting the job dear"

"But ma...."

"Don't but me, we will help your dad, and I will be sending you 200 thousand naira every month end for your care taking".

I was lost, I didn't know the perfect comeback.

"Thank you ma, I am so grateful"

"You are welcome, where is your dad?"

"Visitors room ma"

I helped her carry her bags and then as we entered the house.

"I have been calling you since" ...Lina said.

"I didn't see you, and I was rushing for work"

"Your dad called for water, so I went to help out" ... She said.

"Ohh thank you"..

"So why didn't you go to work again"

"Momma said I should quit"

She turned around and looked at her mom.
"Mom!!" ... She shouted

"Yes what is it, let him quit, we had planned on monthly allowance already".   she said before she knocked on the visitors room door.

"Thanks mom".. She said with a little fainty voice.
