Chapter 51

"I know he was upset and that's why he reacted that way. You should understand that it's not easy to cope with the fact that your only son is missing.

  Please I want you guys to settle and hug each other here and now"- Mr Macaroni replied while dragging me towards my husband

"Fine, I am sorry I over reacted. I am so confused at this point and I don't even know what to do now.

  Please let's get back together and live as one again, I would leave Andrew, he can come back home whenever he likes"- My husband replied while walking towards me 

He walked straight to me and gave me a kiss, and grabbed my butt as usual. I do love it when he does that 

  I was actually surprised that he admitted to the fact that he was actually wrong this time. Or his he pretending because his close friend is present here?, this man can be very tricky and I sometimes find it hard to believe anything he is saying or doing

"It's okay. Our son would definitely come home one day, let's give him time to think about his actions and decide what's best for him"- I replied with a smile 

"But how are we sure that he is safe, his numbers are not going through and nobody can reach him. That's quite surprising and terrifying at the same time.

  Don't you think we should report this issue to the police since we can't track him location?"- My husband asked with a worried face

"That's not necessary. He would surely come back, I know he would"- I replied

We all walked down to the living room where we ate and relaxed for a while before my husband opted out for us to take our leave. We have spent close to four hours in his house, perhaps we should start heading back home.

"Alright Macaroni, it's nice hanging with you. Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it"- My husband said while giving Mr Macaroni a warm hug 

"Alright thanks for your advice by the way. I really appreciate it"- I replied and also gave him a hug before we went straight to our car 

We drove out of Mr Macaroni's compound but I noticed that my husband was silent ever since we left Macaroni's presence. Don't have a clue as to what is making him act that way but one thing that I know for sure is that he is currently planning something in his mind.

  I really want to reach out to Andrew and ask him how his journey went, but I can't do that right now because he would immediately know that I was lying ever since and that could bring forth some much trouble for the both of us. I don't even know how to reach out to Kelvin at this point because i initially told him to switch off his phone, so he might still be scared to switch it on 

And the worst part is that I don't even have the number of his friends. How on Earth did I forget to take their numbers just in case?. We finally got home that afternoon and my husband walked straight to the room without even saying a word to any of the workers.

  Something tells me that all is not well but I will keep my cool and play along 

"Good Afternoon ma, please is everything okay with our master?"- One of the maids asked with confusion written all over her face

She hasn't seen him in such mood before and I am pretty sure that she has also sensed something wrong in his facial expression and actions

"There is nothing wrong dear, he is only tired as a result of much responsibilities from work and home"- I replied with a smile 

"Alright ma, but please I would also like to inquire about the whereabouts of our junior master in the house. He hasn't returned home ever since he followed you and your husband to church.

  Hope everything is okay with him"- She further asked 

I felt so weak at that point and I don't even know the perfect answer to give to her. Let me frame up a lie for her 

"He is on a business trip, he will be back home when he is done with his duties."- I replied with a smile 

She walked away after hearing those reassuring words from me. I don't want anyone to know that Andrew is missing or else they will start gossiping about it and I hate that with strong passion.

  I walked straight to the room where I found my husband lying down on the bed like a sick dog. Seeing him in that state touched me a little, I would never have imagined that he would feel so weak and confused about Andrew's disappearance

Maybe he is feeling guilty for all his actions. I smiled and walked to the toilet to urinate when my phone rang. My sister was the one calling and I am pretty sure she wants to also ask if Andrew is back home

"Hey, how are you doing my dear sister?"- I asked 

"I'm fine and how is your family. Hope everything is going well?"- She asked 

"Yes of course. everything is going so smoothly"- I replied

"Is Andrew still back home and has he apologized for sneaking out of the house without informing anyone about his whereabouts?"- She asked 

I wanted to tell her the truth but my husband would hear it because he is currently listening to our conversation while pretending to be fast asleep. So I would have to skip that particular question till I get another chance to talk with her alone 

"That would be a question for another time sis, I would tell you about that later. I need to clear out some things first before I would narrate everything to you"- I replied

"Alright, no problem. Just send my regards to your husband and tell him that everything is going to be okay 

  He should just relax, I know Andrew would come back after some days, except he has been kidnapped"- She replied

"I don't think he was kidnapped, because if that was the case. We would have received a call from the kidnappers, because they would start demanding for ransom.

  So that's off the list for now, don't worry I would give your the full information later"- I replied and ended the call

"Why did you refuse to reveal the information to her. Or are you trying to hide it from her?"- My husband asked 

"I thought you were fast asleep, how did you hear our conversation?"- I asked with curosity

"Well, let's just say I was taking a quick nap. But that's not what I asked"- He replied

"Well. I don't like revealing things about my family to other people. What happens between us, stays between us"- I replied with a smile while jumping on his body 

He smiled at me and we both kissed for a while before cuddling together like little kids 

Andrew's POV 

I woke up few hours later and I was kinda filled with little energy. I stood up from the bed and went straight to the bathroom to freshen up 

   Gabriel on the other hand was still fast asleep, perhaps he was even more tired than everyone else. I took my bath in bath tub and after that, I went straight to the television and switched it on. Let me play some video games before I start ordering for food 

"Hey, please turn down the volume. I am trying to get some sleep here dude"- Gabriel replied with sleepy eyes 

"Sorry man, but now that you are awake. Why don't we play some video games"- Or replied, trying to force him out of the bed 

"Let me sleep bro. I need to sleep a little bit more, we would play video games later"- He replied

"Come on dude. If you continue sleeping now. What are you going to do in the night?.

  Let's have some funny this afternoon and besides I am kinda hungry at this point"- I replied

"Yeah that true though, I am also hungry too. Let's place a food order right now"- He replied while jumping out the bed to pick up the telephone in the room 

"What would you like to eat the way?."- Gabriel asked 

"Just order some pizza for me, that would be enough"- I replied while trying to set up the game console

Gabriel later joined me after placing orders for our food. We played the FiFA 2019 game and it was quite amazing.

   I beat him 4-3 and he couldn't help but surrender after the last goal 

"Yeah, that reminds me. Sorry to always bother you about this issue. Just that I want everything to be okay over here and at home too"- Gabriel said 

"How do you mean, everything is going on well, isn't it?"- I asked

"Well. Have you called your mother to tell her about your journey so far?"- He asked 

"But she actually told me to switch off my phone because my dad is trying to track down my location through my phone signal. So there is no way I can reach how now"- I replied

"Why don't you use mine. At least your father won't be able to track my number right?"- He asked 

"You are right, perhaps I should use your number after all. They won't be able to track an unknown number, thank God I know my mom's number off hand"- I replied

Gabriel gave me his phone and I dialed my mother's number immediately, she picked up the call but she didn't say anything. 

  Perhaps she thought that I was a stranger on the phone 

"Please who is this?"- She asked 

"It's me mom. It's Andrew, I using my friend's number to contact you"- I replied

"Oh Andrew, I have been thinking about you all day. Thank God you finally reached out to me, this shows that you have me at heart"- She replied, expressing her emotional state 

"You will always be in my heart no matter what and I would always reach out to you whenever you feel lonely till I return back. So how is my location tracking working out for dad?"- I asked 

"He felt so helpless today, he was totally confused when his friend couldn't track you down. He even searched my phone to confirm if I had any previous conversation with you.

  He is suspecting that I have a hand in your disappearance"- She replied

I laughed out so hard on hearing those words and I almost fell to the ground, but Gabriel quickly got hold of me 

"Are you serious about this?. This is hilarious mom, why would he think that you have a hand in the issue.

  You don't have any business with my sudden vacation from home, just that you are only aware of my whereabouts and current location, that's all."- I replied

"So how was your journey?. are you still in the airport?"- She asked 

"No, I and my friends have already checked into a five star hotel downtown, we intend to rent a house for a short period of time because the hotel fees here are quite expensive and we are actually much.

  Which means, it would attract extra cost and prevent us from getting that fun thril excitement that we came for"- I replied

"I understand, please I would save this number as my car mechanic. Don't want your dad to ever find out that I am communicating with your or else there would be a huge problem for us all.

  And you won't even believe that I am talking to you from the garage, I had to leave the room when I learnt you were the one on the phone"- she replied 

"This is so hilarious, I can't believe this"- I replied with laughter
