S01E08 It takes two to tango

"Retaliation is a bitch, but when one has been causing pain on another for so long, it is only right that they get served their own cup of pain"- Hafeni Hashili

@D Transportation and Logistics

Little but surely, the wrath for the Hashili undoing has began and the destruction is coming from within so no one was leaving anything laying down. 2 black Mercedes pulled up at the Hashili Investments building's door, while Yvonne was in the building looking at the cars on the drive way and busy speaking on the phone with a client. The Mercedes where parked facing each other and the driver's got out first to open the doors. Out of one Mercedes Marry got out elegantly while Dorothy came out of the other Mercedes. The two ladies were today dressed in boss by Ria Suits and had their hair tied into pony tails symbolizing power, they took a few steps and stood at the door to look at the building. "Daddy really set himself up for life now didn't he?" said Dorothy holding her waist with one arm and the other carrying a couple of files. "Well, he was once a lucky son of a bitch and seems like God's favorite devil, but today his luck runs out though, so shall we do this?" asked Marry looking at Dorothy then putting on her Shades. They both started walking slowly into the billion dollar building with an envelope and a couple of files as well as a hard drive in hand. Yvonne came to meet them halfway with some few papers in hand and flashing her, "I sleep with the boss" attitude. "Uhm, hello ladies, we all know that this is the Hashili Investments and it is an extravagant building, I guess what I am trying to say is, we are flattered by the grand successful ladies entrance but can you please tell your drivers to move your Mercedes out of the door way before I call security?" said Yvonne pointing at the cars outside and then looking at Marry and Dorothy with an entitled face. Yvonne wasn't really the person fond of reading or watching TV, for her the only channel she used to watch was fashion, thus she is standing here facing two people who owns the building yet she has no clue who they are. Marry and Dorothy kept on looking at each other flashing smiles and completely shocked that Yvonne really have no idea who they were. "I believe we haven't properly met, so let me introduce myself, I am Dorothy, Dorothy Hashili" said Dorothy extending her hand out to Yvonne who stood there looking like she swallowed a frog and regretting the approach she used on them. "And I am Marry, yes, that Marry Hashili, and Maybe you didn't get the memo sweetie but we own the building" said Marry extending her hand also and pulling a face. "You're not going to leave me hanging now are you?" asked Marry looking at her hand and then looks back to Yvonne. Yvonne was now ashamed and her mouth was hanging open, she shook the hand and she started to shake as she realize how much she really messed up. Interns were busy laughing at her from a distance since she acts like she owns the place "so can you get of our way before we call security to escort you out of this building?" Said Dorothy signaling Shoo hands to Yvonne. She stepped aside wanting to cry and the two ladies continued walking. They opened the door to the boardroom and everyone in the boardroom turned and looked at them. "Oh, you guys don't have to stop because we entered" said Marry walking to a seat on one side of the table while Dorothy is walking to other side of the table "We are just a little late, we cant delay the meeting now can we?" said Dorothy sitting. There was a lady busy doing presentations on the board but she kept quiet and looked at Marry who stood up. "Since you guys are now acting like you were expecting us, lets do this then" said Marry then walked up to the lady and handed her a flash drive. When the flash drive was plugged in, it showed the medical files of Stephan and the tests conducted. The whole board got outraged and started talking to each other "just stop this circus right now Marry" shouted David standing up "I told you I will nail you, I might not have found proof that the doctor who did this did it on your orders but he will soon talk, I just have to prove that it actually takes two to tango, a crook for a father in this case and his doctor" The board members started leaving and threatening to pull out their investments. David was there trying to bribe them but they left anyways. Marry was just sitting on the table looking at his father having a crisis.

@Sonja's office

Sonja and Sophia have finally finished decorating Sonja's office and it looks beautiful. "Thank you Sophia, my office couldn't have looked prettier, you're really a darling at your work and I couldn't have done it myself, the venue you chose for my gallery is just magnificent, I couldn't have done it without you, thank you, thank you so much" Said Sonja hugging Sophia who hugged her back, walking in the hallway. "Don't mention it my love, it was great actually working with you you know, and just incase you need any help, and I mean any help at all please, don't hesitate to call" added Sophia While they are approaching the building door and then stood holding Sonja's hands. "So aren't you guys saying bye to aunty Sonja?" asked Sonja kneeling down in front of the kids with a huge smile on her face. "Bye Aunty Sonja" said the kids, then they gave her a hug and a high five. "Please promise me that you will take care and if something goes wrong, please call me, or get to talk to Marry, she will know what to do" said Sophia still holding on to Sonja. "I sure will tell you, well, me and Marry somehow fell of the wagon and we aren't the best of sisters anymore" said Sonja a little embarrassed. "Oh no, what happened Sonja? You guys love each other" said Sophia a little heartbroken to hear the news. "Well, lets just say, she did something and we got into a fight, so we ended it, anyways, that's story for another day Sophia, I got to get home and so do you guys okay?" said Sonja, smiling. Then hugged and then Sophia and her kids got in their car and Drove away, Sonja also took her car keys and her handbag from the receptionist to whom she gave her office keys as she was expecting some deliveries that she needed put in her office, she then drove home.

@ Ongwediva Clinical-Park Hospital

Boni and Sunday are sitting in the hospital at the top of their voices in Stephan's ward, discussing their girlfriends. "I spoke to my baby today and she is doing fine, just as usual, worried about this journey we have embarked upon" Said Boni showing his girlfriends picture on the phone to Sunday. "Well, at least you still have yours, apparently, she rather brake up with me now, instead of having to say Goodbye to a dead man when my father finally kills me, she still feels like this is dangerous and we should just have left the things the way they were apparently, so because of this vengeance, I lost my person so now I am as single as a fish, not tied down to anything" Said Sunday laughing at the top of his lungs and sitting with his legs crossed. While they laughing and giving each other fist bumps Stephan's eyes opened and he turned and looked at them. The brothers cut their laughter short and looked at each other with their fist bumps mid air, they then started laughing out loud and jumped from the sitting spot to Stephan's bed. "Dude, Steve are you awake for real this time or you're still playing with us?" shouted Boni standing up and jumping to his brother's bed. "Doctor" shouted Sunday shouting in the corridor with excitement. Doctor Lahja came running with him followed by two nurses. She ran some tests on Stephans with the Two brothers very anxious and cant contain their excitement. "I am glad to let you guys know that the paralytic drug is out of his system, well most of it anyways so I am discharging him now from the hospital, he is going to recover at home, he needs the surroundings of family and to function normally, he needs to re adapt to his same old ways, I have a little bad news though, the drug did some damages to his muscles and part of his nerves so he will not be able to speak for a while or in the worst case scenario, never, and he will also not walk, although the head operation was successful, we did the skin graft, on him which has turned out better than his chances were letting on" Said the doctor pointing to Stephan's head which was bandaged and looking a little swollen. "We will need the nurses to be doing his dressing from home and don't worry about the swell, its just the medication, we will still run tests though to see how severe the muscle and nerve damage is, hopefully it is recoverable from" Said the doctor holding her stethoscope. "Can we play soccer with him doctor?" asked Sunday looking at the doctor. "No, not yet, he wont be able to respond for a little while so no soccer" laughed the doctor just then, Marry came in flying and running to see her brother awake, although not responding to them. "So doctor can we take him home?" asked Marry happily and standing next to Stephan's bed, without even greeting anyone she found there. "I really wish so mem given the circumstances, but he is signed in here under his father as a guardian so he is the one that will take him and he will only be released under his care" said The doctor walking out while they standing there, Marry turned to his two brothers and hugged them tight, lowly saying they did it. While they are having a touching moment, David walked in with few of his people and some nurses from The Hashili hospital wing. Marry walked to him when he saw him and put her hands together apologetically and ready to be humiliated since it concerns her begging for her brother's life. Boni and Sunday stood at a farther distance also showing pleading faces as if expecting remorse from their father who at all wasn't looking too pleased at all. "I have never begged you for anything David, please allow me to take Steven to my place, I promise we will drop all of this, we will stay out of your way and we will leave you alone, I can get all your clients back to you, I'll sell the oil pan to you if that pleases you, all I'm begging you for is to please let me take Stephan with me" she said with her eyes tearing up and her hands placed together showing that she really is begging and mean what she is saying. "You should have thought of this before you pulled the stunt that cost me my whole company Marry, now look at how the tables have turned on you" responded David looking at Marry right in the eyes, while grinning. "I can get your investors back, I can tell the people I lied, I can go to as far as swearing in front of the police, I can even apologize to you on national TV, please I beg you" Marry added crying and going on her knees begging. Boni came and lifted her up with David only looking at them. "Father please, I am asking you now as a son asking his father for his brother, we all know that we have done some horrible things to each other, we have acted out of revenge and all that, but we are wiling to put this all behind us, please let us have Steven" asked Sunday talking lowly looking at his father. "I don't care what you guys are promising me anymore, its now too late, you all can beg, I am not changing my mind, Take my son to my place and put him in the right wing" said David talking to the nurses and paramedics he brought with him and walked out putting his phone on the ear. Marry started crying and started packing Stephan's clothes one by one while Boni is massaging her shoulders to comfort her. The packing was finally done and the paramedic took Stephan Away, with all his siblings following the ambulance to the Hashili Manor.

@Kavekotora

The Kavekotora saga was now dragging on like a reality TV show, with the lawyer now just based in the village as he is still trying to sort this whole saga out as he is stuck with the inheritance that needs an owner, so he resorted to the village council to help him sort the issue out. It was Wednesday and the whole family has now finally arrived at the house and all the village elders are there seated under a gathering tree that had chairs and tables for such occasions. People were now getting restless as they wait for Victoria, for the village court to actually begin, because they have to discuss which Kavekotora was in the will. One council elder by the name of Uazapii stood up with support of his walking stick and to show respect, other elders removed their hats and put them back on when he finally stood. The lawyer was also present as he is the one who resorted to this, and sitting next to him is Evelyn, whom even though is at the village, her body decided to show otherwise. "We can all clearly see that Victoria is late and this man has some places to go" said the elder pointing to the lawyer who started nodding although he doesn't understand the vernacular language mixed with English. "So we can start without her and we will then inform her of the decision made here, so I am going to offer a chance for Tatekuru Kavekotora's neighbor here, who might seem to have something important to say, and the sooner we get done with this problem, the easier we can lay the man to rest" said the elder pointing to the lady neighbor who stood up. From a farther distance Victoria can be seen running richly to the tree with elegant clothing. "Please don't begin without me, I am here and my make up needed to be done, its not everyday a person gets an occasion to slay" said Victoria with her wallet lifted in the air and passing in the middle of the circle to the seat on the other side of the lawyer. The elders all looked at her with disappointment until she sat down and stared back at them, before the neighbor continued speaking. "I have known My neighbor may his soul rest in peace for so long, as I was friends with his wife" said the elder looking at the lawyer's face. "It is though hard today to know which Kavekotora between his only two daughters is the rightful heir" she added doing hand gestures. Victoria has been raising her hands up but no one gave her a chance so she decided to interrupt. "I'm not trying to say anything but Evelyn is now Hashili, not Kavekotora, so I guess what I am trying to say is, I'm trying to say something" said Victoria all smiling yet out of words, she then put her hand down when she finished talking. The elders were nodding, as if they were agreeing with what she was saying when the neighbor continued. "You make a good point Nana, but your father never approved of the Hashili wedding and never saw Evelyn as a Hashili and still referred to all of you with his surname, to him Evelyn was never married, that is why even today here, Evelyn's husband isn't here, he was never welcomed here" said The neighbor. "Amen to that, because she snatched the man away from me, so Daddy never approved" said Victoria looking at Evelyn. All the elders started facing down as they already know that it is bout to go down, heavily. Evelyn saw this as a fitting point to defend herself or she was going to loose the inheritance, "Lets not forget that point which states that my father used to call me with his surname" said Evelyn looking at the elders and turning to Victoria ."but for now, allow me to read this bitch" said Evelyn, shifted her body towards Victoria and straightened her skirt. The lawyer was stuck between these two ladies and could only lean on his chair so that the two ladies could see each other "Number one, you're now old, And David will never want you, number two, you had your chance and you blew it, its passed on to me and I took it, number 3, we all know that you returned from UK not because father has passed away, you didn't come to mourn, you came for the money you low life piece of trash" said Evelyn about to jump to the fourth point when Victoria stood up and cut her short. "Call trash one more time, I dare you" said Victoria and Evelyn stood up also. "Enough, cant you two ever act like civilized people? This has to stop, it is unacceptable, here, am I clear?" asked one of the elders angrily Evelyn and Victoria, out of shame just stared at each other and Evelyn finally responded "You are clear, I don't have time for this meeting but I am not done here, I have something to do in town, but just rest assured I will be back" Said Evelyn took her bag and left the place, she signaled her Chauffeur who opened the car door for her and she got in and they drove to the city.

@Hashili Manor

David is standing at the doorway of his house with a bottle of Richelieu and drinking from it dry, without a glass or anything. While at the gate, the ambulance from the Hashili hospital wing is entering and they let down a slider to let out the bed that Stephan is laying on. Following the ambulance is the cars of the siblings who parked behind the ambulance and came out heading to the ambulance. Sonja also walked out of the house past her father who didn't even dare turn or anything, heading to the ambulance and she looked at Marry angrily who also just stared back and didn't say anything. Marry though was being killed by her mother instincts and looks like she wanted to say something to Sonja but decided to remain just quiet instead. Sunday got out of his car and got a wheelchair from the boot of his car and came to the ambulance pushing a wheelchair. The paramedics and the nurses helped to sit Stephan down on his wheelchair with the help of Boni. Sonja kneeled in front of her unresponsive brother and fasten the supporting belt, then Sunday pushed the wheelchair, following the paramedics and nurses that are holding the medical equipment they need to set up the room for Stephan. They went past their father who was still at the door just drinking his brandy, which was now half empty. David didn't still turn or look at anyone, the kids and the medical crew also returned the favor and didn't say anything to him either, they went past him as if he was a statue. The team stood in the lobby and a maid came running from the kitchen to assist "Its this way sir" she said pointing upstairs. "Mr. David said he should be put up, in the east wing" she added halfway up the stairs when everyone just stood looking at her. All the people looked at each other surprised as to how they will climb the stairs, and also as to why David will put someone who is on a wheelchair upstairs. Boni and Sunday shook it off and then lift the wheelchair up and followed the maid, followed by Marry, Sonja and the paramedics team all the way up to the east wing. "Thank you gentleman" said Sonja opening the door for the paramedics who entered first. The bed was already made up for Stephan so Boni and Sunday again help to lift their brother up, with Marry helping to fix his pillows and then they put him on the bed. David followed them upstairs and leaning on the door frame he was standing at the door looking at the kids, and still drinking his bottle of Richelieu just saying nothing when Marry looked at him and moved closer "How do you live with yourself?" she asked looking at him dead in the eyes "I live on piles of money and my son is home so now, do me a favor and get the hell out of my house, with all your other siblings, I will teach you a lesson" said David looking at marry, She looked at him from head to toe, shook her head and left the room. Everyone else followed suit apart from the nurses who have to set up the machinery and take care of Stephan.

The day went down quietly with no slight hint at all as the kids were afraid of their father, who in turn was also afraid of what they could pull next. The sun finally went down and a new day was born.

@Daniel's

Daniel was busy taking a shower while Sophia was in the kitchen with her kids preparing Breakfast. She is busy stirring her pot just before there was a knock on the door. "Ill get it" shouted Joel then ran to the door and slowly opened it, He stood there and an old man looked at the small boy. "Is your father in young man?" he asked with the voice looking like its coming from his beard as his lips have disappeared under the beard. "Yes but he is taking a shower sir, but my mother is here, she can help you, do you need some food?" responded the boy and then the mother appeared from behind the door. "Can I help you sir, my Husband is quickly in the shower but I can take the message for him" said Sophia holding the door and looking at the man puzzled. "he is a very lucky man, but you might not be such a very lucky woman" said the man holding the letter in his hands and looking at Sophia "Pardon me sir?" Said Sophia starting to get a little bit scared and reaching for a spade that was behind the door. "I was hoping I can talk to him myself but since he is busy you said, please give him this letter, and take care of the young man, he is generous and very brilliant" Added the man and left. Sophia took the letter and checked through the window as the man walked away, she stared at the letter and finally walking to her pots, threw it on the counter.
