Do you promise not to laugh

 at me? Charity ask Patrick."

    "Never, why will I laugh at you?"

    "Ok, no man has ever ask to

marry me before, all we do is go

out and have fun with each other,

but when it comes to

 commitment, they all run away."

    "Patrick was looking at charity

with so much pity written all

over his face."

    "And why are you looking at

me like that? Charity suddenly

ask."

    "Ohh.. nothing am just listing

to you."

    "With that kind of look.?"

    "How did you want me to keep

 my face? If I look, you said I’ve

look, na wa oo."

    "You are looking at me like

you pity me,."

    "Nope, I was just wondering

if all this men are blind."

    "Who?"

    "Look at how beautiful you

 are, intelligent, hardworking,

and yet no man has ever say

 they want to marry you."

    "Yea, is kind of weird, but that

 is the truth."

    "Hmmm, can I take you out

sometimes? Patrick ask."

    "What? Sure, why not."

    "Fine this weekend then."

    "Ok,"

    "I will call you."

    "Yea,"

    "So can I get your number."

    "Yea, sure, she called out her

 number for him."

    "Yes!, yes! Gina shouted

watching from her hiding place.

I knew it, I know Charity will jump

 right at it, but it was Patrick

 am worried about, but now yes,

he did it."

    "And by the way where is Gina?

Charity ask, haven notice that

she left and was taking too

 long to come back."

    "Huh.. Gina, I think she should

 be somewhere around, Patrick

 said knowing why Gina left."

    "But come to think about it, do

 you know why Gina came back?

She has refuse to tell me

 anything."

    "Ohh, I don’t know, I think you

 should ask her again."

    "Yea, I will do that again."

    Just then Gina walked in.

    "Where the hell have you been?,

I thought Ken must have kidnaped

you, you know I don’t have

strength for that your husband,

Charity said hoping to hear

 something from her, but Gina

never say anything about ken."

    "Ok, I hope you guys have been

 enjoying without me, I needed to

 take care of something, she

 said looking at Patrick, who

 was looking back at her."

Charity saw the way they were

 looking at themselves and was

 like, “what’s wrong with this two?

you guys should get a room."

    "What?". They both shouted

at the same time.

    "Yea, looking at each other

like that, is only proper that

you guys get a room."

    "Oh…no..no..no. patrick said,

your friend is something out

 of this world he told Gina"

    "Hmm, really? So how did you

 see her.?"

    "She ok."

    "Just ok."

    "Yea, she is kind of Weird though."

    "Weird , how?."

    "I can hear that" Charity said

    "Never mind, in any case I

have to go thanks for the

dinner."

    Gina sees Patrick off, leaving

 Charity in house.

    "Those two are definitely in love,

why did Gina have to marry Ken?

I guess she was confuse."

    "And who is confuse? Gina

ask Charity.

    "Oh… sorry am just thinking loud."

    "So how did you see him?

Gina ask sitting down beside

Charity.

    "He is handsome and good, I

 think I like him, we are going

out this weekend."

    "Really?" Gina ask.

    "Yea, all thanks to you Gina."

    "Yea, Gina say not so happy, so

 why did Patrick not say anything

to me about taking Charity out

on weekend?"

    "Gina are you ok?"

    "Yes, I am, congratulation."

    "For what?" Charity ask.

    "You and Patrick."

    "We are not getting married so

 what’s with the congratulation?"

    "Oh…sh.. sorry I was just

 carried away, just forget

about that."

    "Is time to go anyways, I will

see you in the office."

    "Ok, thanks for coming you

guys made my day."

She sees Charity off without

realizing that her father has

 been back for a long time but

didn't want to disturb their get

 together.

    "Oh.. dad, you back? I didn't see

you come in."

    "That is because I didn’t see

you when I walked in and I

didn’t want to disturb your friends.

What’s going on?"

    "Nothing father I only invisted

 them over for dinner."

    "Ok that’s great, so have you

made up your mind yet?"

    "About what?"

    "To go and see Tina and

 your husband."

    "No, I said am not going

back to that house."

    "And am not forcing you to

go back but remember that

 some other woman is in your

house right now, you need to

 secure your home."

    "What do you want me to do,

she is his first wife."

    "Says who? Get your facts

right Gina, you are the first wife,

and ken didn’t even know when

 she was married in behalf of him."

    "Still the same, I don’t want to

go back."

    "No, you will go back, I didn’t

expect you to be foolish, you

 must go back and take your

 place as the first wife."

    "Are you driving me away?"

    "Far be it that I will drive you

 away, but you need to be

 reasonable, this is no childs play,

a lot are at stack if you don’t

go back."

    "Ken don’t love me anymore"

    "He does, he just don’ know

what to do, he is still a boy, so

you have to go back and take

care of your home."

Gina fran and turn walking

back to her room, only to find

a woman she has not seen

 before, standing half way the

 staircase, she turn and looked

at her father to ask who  she is,

but I guess she already knew

 the answer.

    "Oh… sorry.. I will be in my room."

The woman looked at Mr.

Georege who looked back at her

 without saying a word. She

walk down the stair.

    "Is that Gina?"

    "Yes,"

    "Hmm, she is a  beautiful girl,

she needs to go back to her

 husband house before another

 woman will take over her house,

women are very culling, she

may be doing that to push her

away from her husbands house,

the early Gina sees reasons

 with you the better for her."

    "That is why am asking her

to go back, I walk so her with

her mother to build that

company, I will not sit down

and watch other people eat

 from my lobur just like that."

    "I think I need to talk to Gina,"

the woman said.

    "Please do, let her see reasons

 with me."

    "I will try."

Gina ran up stair as she

notice the conversation coming

to an end.

    "Who the hell is she? Is my

father going to marry that woman?

Any ways, I think I need to go

 back and throw that victoria

 out of my house."

    "Mommy…. Little Tina rush to

 hug her mother, ken stood up

 and rush to hug her too but she

 pushed him aside, but in any

 case he was so happy to see

 her.

She want and greeted her

 mother-in-law but was not

 happy with her, how could she

 accept that woman victoria

 into her house?

    "How is your father?"

    "He is fine,"

     "Thank you my daughter for

coming back, we miss you

so much."

    "Hmm, I see how much you

have miss me, she murmured.

Have you guys been eating

 well? Gina ask.

    "How can we eat well when

 you are not around? We are

about to die before you walk in,

granny said and they all laugh."

    "But on a serious note, thanks

 for coming back, ken almost

died she said looking at ken,

who just bow his head looking

 for sympathy.

    "Hmm, Gina said looking at ken

 and I need to talk to you ken,

Gina ordered.

    "Yes, dear, but before you go

can you grant me one wish Ken’s

mother ask Gina.

    "Which is?, she turn back to

look at her."

    "Please can you forgive him?

And me also, don’t shout at him

too much and don’t beat him

huh.. am begging you my

sweetheart."

Gina looked at her mother

 in-law smiling from oneside

 of her mouth

    "hmmm, ok, I will try."

    "Please try harder."

    "I need to see you ken, she

 said again, and ken followed

 her like a sheep going to the

slaughter , he turned and looked

 at his mom who gave him

some courage.

    "Don’t worry my son, she will

 be gently with you."

    "Do you think that you and your

mother will play such prank with

 me and get away with it?"

    "No sweetheart."

    "Don’t you ever sweetheart

 me, you have your sweetheart

with you all this time, I hope you

 guys make another baby."

    "Please stop love, I don’t have

 anything to do with victoria, it

was a mistake."

    "A mistake that produce a son

 and I don’t.?"

    "Son or no son am fine, Little

 Tina is very intelligent just like

you and am ok with that."

    "Hmm, if you are ok with that

is your parents ok with it?"

    "Is my life and they have no

say in it."

    "Really? So what is that woman

 doing in your house if your

 parents have no say in your life?."

    "I can deal with that when the

time comes."

    "No, the time is now and am

here to kick her out, with or

 without your consent."

    "No, Gina please listen to me,

I don’t want more problem now,

something about it please."

    "No, she leaves right this minute."

    "Ok, so how do you plan to do

    "You don't have to worry your

 handsome head about a thing,

Gina said.
