MY HUSBAND AND I (Part 13) “Ehn!” Baba Lagbaja exclaimed again.
“Yes o! Including the two jeeps Tony’s Father gave her, and
the…”
“Wait!” he stoped her, turning to Funke.
“Funke! N gbo? You collected all that? Are you trying to sell
your daughter? You’ve sold her already I rather say!” he
yelled at her.
Funke shifted uneasily on her seat.
“My daughter, sorry to have troubled you o. ” Baba Lagbaja
told the smiling Lara.
“Young men let’s go!” he said angrily and they rose to leave.
“Wait wait! I’ll pay!” Funke was desperate.
“I’l pay in installments, little by little.”
“When you sold your daughter to them, did you give her to
them in installments?” Baba Lagbara shrieked at her.
“Don’t ever come to me again o! If you do Sango would
strike you dead! ” he cursed before leaving the house with
his group.
Funke was confused! How could her daughter become so
mean.
“hey mum! You’ve got another plan?” Lara laughed at her
dejected mother.
“Well, I’m afraid, you’ll have to die without a grandchild o.
As for me, I can easily adopt as many children as I want o!”
she jeered.
Funke threw her handbag at her in anger.
“Ouch!” Lara winced as the bag hit her belly.
“Please o! Be careful, Tony’s Babies are in there!” she
laughed some more.
“Lara, you’re doing this to me your mother! What’s your
gain?” Funke asked tears staining her eyes.
“My gain?” Lara looked sobber.
“My gain, is that, I can make you feel bad after all you did to
me!” Tears welled up her eyes too.
“Omolara! I’m leaving you! Continue to ruin your life!”
“Yea! I’ll continue from where you stoped” Lara spat out.
“Don’t ever come to look for me! I’m no longer your
mother.” Funke fumed heading towards the exit.
“And I’m no longer your daughter!” Lara shot back.
Funke turned round astonished.
“Lara?” she whispered.
Lara walked into her room, leaving her to stand there like an
undecided ghost.
Funke tossed and turned on her bed. She had suffered from
chronic fever ever since her last encounter with Lara.
“What have I done to deserve such treatment from my
daughter?” she asked herself.
“The child I bore for nine months, brought up at my own
expense, decides to turn against me.” she gazed at the
ceiling.
She counted the ceiling for a long time.
“Hmn!” she chuckled wickedly.
“So far I’m her biological mother, she must leave that
marriage! Whether Tony gets well or not!” she said firmly.
She brazed up a plan, she pulled her cellphone towards her
and dialled a number.
“Hello, Deji ?” she said into the phone.
“Hello, eka le ma! Good evening.” Deji said in a sleepy
voice.
“Deji please, come over to my place tomorrow morning. We
have something to discuss.” Funke told her softly.
“okay ma.” Deji said cautiously before ending the call.
...
“Deji eat and drink now, its your home o.” Funke said as Deji
sipped her drink shyly.
“Deji there’s something I’ll want us to discuss.” she said
after Deji finished her snacks.
“I heard of a girl back then…the girl that used to be Tony’s
mistress…I mean Sophia…” she continued.
“uhum!” Deji grunted giving her suspicious look.
“Errm..Deji, I know you and your exploits, you have this city
under your finger tips…” Funke appraised her.
“So?” she grimaced.
“So I want you to tell me where she is! I know you monitor
her movements! Please let me have her address.” Funke
explained.
“just like that? What do you want with her?” she asked.
“I’ve got some business plans, and I heard she’s good in
such business…”
“Of all the business women in this city?” Deji interrupted
her.
“Common Deji, just give it to me! I’ll pay any amount you
need.” funke said this because she knew Deji is a sucker for
money.
“hmmn, I just hope this ‘business’ won’t affect Lara o!” Deji
cautioned.
“Nooo…not at all! You forget Lara is my daughter!” Funke
laughed.
“Okay!” Deji said scribbling Sophia’s address on a note pad.
“Thank you, name your pay!” Funke smiled satisfactorily.
“no need for that! Meanwhile, I must go and see Lara now, I
promised her I’m going over.” Deji made to go.
“Okay bye, and please don’t tell her about this o.” Funke
saw her off.
She waved as Deji drove away, a donkey smile playing on
her face.
First mission accomplished, next target on point!
Lara smiled absent mindedly at herself, its been a month
since Tony left, he’l be back soon.
“Can’t wait!” she said aloud to the empty room. She decided
to call him…
“Hello Baby?” Tony’s voice said from the other end.
“Good morning to you.”
“morning how do you do? Hope you slept well?” Tony
asked.
“Not that well, and you?” she made a face as she spoke.
“same here, missing ya loads.” he laughed.
“So you’re coming back this weekend?”
“Nooo, the doctor said I should for two weeks more.” Tony
explained.
“Oooh” she groaned.
“hey hey hey! Two weeks is just like two days, no need for
that okay? I’ll be back soon. There are many thing I’d like to
show you!” he said soothingly.
“Many things? Like?” she laughed
and on and on, their conversation went till the door bell
rang.
“Hey hold on! I’ll call ya later.” Lara said before ending the
call.
Deji was at the door.
“ah! Ore mi atata, my friend, welcome!” she hugged Deji.
“This one you are looking fresh ehn?” Deji teased.
“You can say that again.” Lara giggled as she served her
friend.
“When is the hubby coming back now?” Deji asked gently.
Lara was taken aback, Deji never referred to Tony as ‘the
hubby’ before,
“Errrm, i just called him on phone, he said next two weeks..”
she explained.
“Next two weeks!” Deji echoed after her, she looked pleased
by the information.
“Yea!” lara felt a strange feeling, she knew Deji very well,
that look on her face isn’t for nothing.
“Excuse me!” deji said as she made a call.
“Hello, Lady?” she said.
“The client should be in town in the next fourteen days, yea,
business should be cool!” she smiled mischievously.
“Okay, bye, get all arrangements ready please.” she ended
the call.
“The client? Next fourteen days?” Lara asked quitely.
“Yea, just some sort of business.” Deji avoided her eyes.
“Business? What type?”
“Oooh, Lara please! I didn’t come here for an interview na!”
she laughed.
“Okay” Lara sighed. Deji has been acting strangely for some
time now. She hope there won’t be troubles.
“So tell me girlie! How’s Tony? His health?” Deji shoved her
playfully.
Lara laughed, some how she felt more relaxed
