Kenneth’s POV
The aroma of the meal Kenneth’s father was cooking filled Kenneth’s nostril when he returned home.
“Dad is at it again.”
Kenneth said to himself.
Kenneth offed his shirt and trouser. He had singlet and boxer left on him. He smiled and went into his room to put the dirty clothes he offed inside the washing machine. After he did that he went into the bathroom to take a shower and went into the kitchen.
“The professional chef.”
Kenneth hailed his father.
“Son welcome. How are you today?”
“I am fine thanks old man and you?”
“Spoilt brat let’s see how you would look like when you reach my age.”
Kenneth’s father frowned his face.
“Common dad. You know I was just kidding around. I know how much you hate being told you are getting old lol.”
“Silly boy. Why didn’t you come straight to the kitchen after you came back from work? I heard your footsteps.”
“Nothing really. I felt smelly. So I decided to take a shower and look fresh before coming to say hi.”
“Alright. Is the young lady back home?”
“Yes she is. Her parents and nanny are excited.”
“Woow she’s got a Nanny?”
“Yeah she nurtured her from childhood. According to what her parents told me. The bond between
Laura and her nanny is strong. Unbreakable as they say.”
“That’s cool. The nanny must be friendly I guess.”
“Yes she is. I haven’t gotten the chance to speak to her one on one but I have a strong feeling she’s cool. I recognize friendly people from afar.”
“Psychologist.”
Kenneth’s father teased.
“Father of a psychologist. Your soup will burn if you don’t check it.”
“Alright you won today. Let me check .”
Kenneth’s father checked the soup he was preparing and stirred it after he did that he lowered the temperature of the gas and covered the soup to steam it up.
Few minutes later he offed the gas and put the soup in the cupboard. Kenneth assisted his father to sieve the rice.
When all was set Kenneth arranged the dinning table and his father served the meal. It was delicious as usual.
His father smile brought harmony to his soul. Kenneth had taken two spoonfuls when his father spoke.
“Son guess who called today.”
“Sonia. Am sure she’s missed you a lot.”
“No, not Sonia.”
“You know I am not good at guessing dad. Please speak up already.”
“Your mom. She called today.”
“Woow mom called. That’s a good news.”
“Yeah I was amazed. I didn’t expect her call. You know before your mother and I divorced we were already living like cat and rat . I know you tried your best to salvage the situation but your efforts were abortive. It wasn’t because you didn’t try your best enough it just wasn’t successful because we were at the edge. Divorce was the only option because we were always at each other’s throat. We lost that peace and oneness to keep the family going. So it crashed. I know you have a lot of question in your mind regarding why I haven’t been wanting to talk about the issue each time you raised it up but I think am ready to answer all your questions tonight. I just only want you to know a family is family when there’s peace and unity . A family is family when love exist not exit. Once there isn’t peace anymore and the efforts to restore it keeps on failing it’s better to say good bye than keep on harbouring a toxic environment. Zion junior I want you to know I considered you and your siblings and it’s precisely because of you guys I summoned the courage to do the needful. I am sorry if it still hurts.”
Kenneth sighed and spoke.
“I would be lying if I say I wasn’t hurt when you and mom divorced each other. It was the trying moment of my life. I am not trying to paint you as a bad guy in the story father but I felt you were not willing to make things work. Like you just gave up on making things work out so easily.”
Kenneth’s father sighed.
“Son sometimes things aren’t the way we see them. Just pray not be a victim of a loveless marriage.”
“Did you ever love mom? Mom told me before you guys divorced that you never loved her. Was that true?”
“It’s a long story Kenneth. Believe me you don’t want to hear it . am afraid it will do you more harm than good.”
“I thought you said I could ask any question. Why don’t you leave the consequence of my curiosity for me to handle.”
“Your mother and I marriage was arranged. I never had it in mind that I would end up marrying Natasha your mom. I had a lover when I was younger her name was Priscilla. I loved her to a fault. She was the air I breath and till now I still cherish her. Priscilla’s voice was sweet and soothing. She had a way of winning even the toughest heart with her angelic smile. She was a paragon of beauty. Her skin shone during the day and glowed at night. She was everything colourful.”
“Then why didn’t you marry her? Why marry mom instead?”
“My parents didn’t approve of our relationship. They said Priscilla wasn’t up to my caliber or status. They degraded her until she had enough. I was a coward back then I didn’t have the nerve to say no to my parent’s decision. I dare not question them. Even though I was hurt I had to part from Priscilla to make my parents happy. After your mom and I got married I felt miserable. I constantly had to battle with loneliness. I was married but I felt single. Eventually I accepted fate and allowed things to flow. I decided I was going to make things work since Natasha was willing to make the home a peaceful one. It was all going rosy until your mother met her ex. Her current husband as we speak. It was then I realized it was a tit for tat. Natasha didn’t agree to her parent’s wish to marry me because she was deeply in love with me like she claimed. She married me because her ex and her had issues and I was her consolation arms. I was heartbroken when I found out because I had already accepted fate. I had already resolved within my heart to Love Natasha and make our marriage work. Not like I made her life miserable when we got married but I felt I wasn’t doing my best. I was struck by your mother’s actions after she met her ex lover again. She started acting weird. She began giving me one thousand justifications why our marriage would never be a success. I held on I felt it was a façade that would while away with time probably a misunderstanding until the harsh reality set in day by day. It then dawned on me that your mother wasn’t willing to make things work for the sake of you and your siblings. I tried my best but I gave up when I couldn’t take it anymore. I am not trying to make your mother appear like a bad woman but that was what happened. Am glad she’s happy now . The way she sounded on phone made me know she was. She’s found happiness in the arms of the one she truly loved. Not everyone is that lucky. Not everyone.”
“Sorry dad. I judged you without even asking for your own side of the story.”
“It’s okay son. It’s cool you said your mind. At least you’ve gotten the clarifications you need now.”
“Yes I have thanks.”
“Now let’s continue with our meal. It’s cold already.”
“Cold meals taste more delicious dad.”
Kenneth winked at his father. His father smiled and they continued eating. After they were through eating Kenneth cleared the table and offered his father a chilled soft drink. His father smiled and told him to have a seat.
“Son it’s been long we gisted. These past few days you’ve been busy. Has a lady taken you already ?”
“No dad. It’s work. I don’t have time for commitment now. I haven’t found the one that makes my heart sprint and brighten my day. After the breakfast I had last. I am halting anything called relationship .”
“Breakfast is normal son. You just need to move on and smell the toffee. That dosen’t mean you should give up on love. “
“Well Sonia and I had a video call today. She told me to send her regard. She’s missed you a whole lot.”
“Tell her I miss her too when next she video calls. I guess the white man’s land is treating her good?.”
“Yeah she looks more beautiful .”
“I knew she would. As for paulina she spoke to me today when your mother called. You know she’s a mummy’s girl right from day one. Your mom will be excited with her being around. It’s all good.”
“And me? Aren’t you happy you have me all to yourself? “
“Did I just smell jealousy ?”
Kenneth’s father teased.
Kenneth and his dad were laughing when a call came in on Kenneth’s phone.
Kenneth picked the call up. His face was beaming with smiles when he realized the caller was Laura’s father.
“Good evening son. Sorry if I interrupted your sleep. I just wanted to pass a message across to you.”
Laura’s father said.
“ohh am all ears sir. I was gisting with my father when your call came in.”
“well it’s nothing serious. I would love it if you invite your family to my event. I would love to connect with them if you don’t mind.”
“woow I am honoured sir. I feel like a hero right now. Well my dad is the only one around for now. My siblings and mom aren’t available.”
“oops it’s okay. I would be glad to meet the father who birthed such a dignified man. It would be a honour.”
“ I am sure going to sleep well tonight and have sweet dreams. You just made me feel like one million armies right now.”
Laura’s dad chuckled.
“let me not interrupt you and your father further. Have a lovely night. Take care.”
“Thank you sir. I appreciate.”
“its nothing. Sleep well.”
Laura’s father cut the call and gave Laura the “ I fulfilled your wish already look.”
Laura smiled and pecked her daddy on the cheek. She went into Priscilla’s room after she left her father’s presence to announce the news to her.
Priscilla was excited the news brightened her mood. She couldn’t wait for the event to unfold anymore. 20th seemed too long she badly wanted to see the man who fathered the private investigator face.
