Chapter 85

We both walked so the car and took our place in the back seats. "It's good to have you back young master, we all miss you", my driver called out to me immediately he got into the car, I was touched when he said those words but I didn't express anything so that it wont look that I have any odd feelings. "I miss you guys too, but I'm back now and everything is going to be okay", I replied and smiled back at him. "But if I may ask, where have you been. We all were worried and I thought you were kidnapped because you didn't return home with your parents after the Sunday service that took place a week ago", He asked.

  Gabriel looked at me with a mischievous smile, waiting for me to say something. "I actually traveled to see someone in another city", I replied. "That's sounds okay and like I said, it's good to have you back home", he replied and started the car. On our way going, Gabriel became a bit worried and I wanted to know the reason for such a weird look on his face "What's up bro, is anything wrong?.", I asked 

"Nothing bro, I'm just so tired that's all*, he replied and smiled. "You must be really happy to see your mother right now, aren't you?", I asked. "Yeah, I do want to see her and she is already aware that I'm on my way back", he replied.

  "You called her on the phone to tell her?", I asked. "I sent her a text message yesterday evening before going to sleep and she was more than happy when I told her I will be coming back today", he replied. "Mother's are always happy whenever their kids are retuning back home and I don't seem to know the reason why", I replied

We got to Gabriel's house after a 45 minutes drive from the airport, I decided to help Gabriel with his luggages as we both entered the living room together. "Oh my good Lord, you are finally back home.", his mother screamed as she ran towards Gabriel, they hugged each other so tight to the extent that Gabriel was almost suffocating from the tight hug. I looked at the both of them and I became a bit jealous because I also want this kind of motherly love too. "You do not know how I have missed you mother, I kept thinking of you everyday when I was in Atlanta Georgia", Gabriel said 

  "Me too, there was a time when I even wished to come stay with you and have fun with your friends.", His mother replied jokingly. "Meet my best friend, Andrew, he was the master mind of this whole lovely vacation", Gabriel replied and directed the attention of his mother towards me. "Good day ma'am,", I greeted her softly. "Good day my boy, thank you for taking good care of you cute lamb", She replied

Gabriel was a bit shy when his mother referred to him as her lamb, "Mother, stop calling me that, you know i don't like it", Gabriel replied, "Sorry my dear, why don't I prepare something nice for the both of you", she replied. We didn't even eat any break fast before leaving Atlanta Georgia. But thank God we ate something in the flight

  "I will need to leave ma'am, my mother is also waiting to set her eyes on me. Perhaps I would come back later for my own share of whatever you are preparing for the both of us", I replied. "Better hurry up then, don't keep your mother waiting all day", she replied with a smile. I walked straight to the car and told the driver to drive me home very fast because I need to rest and probably eat something good and with some high speed driving, we got home twenty-eight minutes later because my house wasn't that far from Gabriel's house and I guess Kelvin should be back home by now 

All the maids screamed with excitement when they saw me stepping out of the car majestically and they all rushed to give me a hug, I didn't mind though because I had a free mind towards every worker in the house. "Where are my parents?", I called out to one of the maids after hugging all of them. "They are in the living room", she replied.

  "Please help me take those luggages to my room", I called out to my driver and he obeyed without any question. I walked Into the living room like a prodigal son and my mother rushed to give me a hug. My dad on the other hand was shocked beyond words as he left his mouth wide open like someone who saw a ghost. I didn't expect him to be this shocked because I believe mom would have informed him of my return 

"See the way you look so cute, I have missed you son and you don't know how happy I am that you are finally back home son", My mother replied after she finished hugging me. "I miss you too and I thought it wise to return back home before you miss me too much", I teased. My dad stared at me without saying a single word, so I walked straight to him and gave him a warm hug.

  "It's good to have you back son. I hope you won't run away from me again", he said with a deep voice. "I promise not run away you ever again. I have realized my mistakes and that's why I'm making amends, please forgive me", I replied. He smiled and placed his hands on my soft cheek. "I have forgiven you a long time ago, so how was your vacation?", he asked, "Come on darling, let the young man freshen up first before you start asking him questions", my mother called out to my dad with a smile on her face 

I walked straight to my room, took of my shirt and jumped on my bed looking so tired, I need a good sleep, probably for eight hours or more. I quickly dashed to the bathroom to get some fresh bubble bath but my stomach started rumbling, indicating that I need more food in there, so I quickly finished up from the bathroom and went to the kitchen to feast on anything that I can find. "What are you doing sir?", the chef called out to me from my back 

  "I was just looking for some food to eat, what have you prepared?", I asked. "Well, I have prepared some potatoes and fresh stew. Just wait for me in the dinning table so that I can serve you", she replied

I walked out of the kitchen and went straight to the dinning table, waiting to be served and after two minutes, she came with my food. I started eating until till my stomach became full, now it's time to head to the living room and on getting there, my father started laughing. "Why are you laughing dad?", I asked, looking a bit confused with his sudden outburst of laughter.

  And just then, my mom started laughing too. It looks as if they have seen something funny in me today. "Can't you see your stomach, you look like a pregnant man", my dad replied. I looked at my stomach to confirm what they were saying and I observed that it was quite big, due to the fact that I ate a lot of food

"I ate a lot of food because I was hungry. You can't blame me for that", I replied and took my seat on the sofa. "So are you ready to tell us how your vacation went?", My dad asked. Since he is so eager to know the outcome of my vacation in Atlanta Georgia, then I have no other option than to to spill the beans and tell him everything. 

  "It was fun and lovely, we visited some beautiful places like the beach, lodged in a world class hotel and even played some mature games with each other", I replied. "Sounds like a crazy adventure to me, so did you do something special for yourself?", my mom asked. "What do you mean by something special?", I asked, trying to make her explain more

"Like did you hang out with any girl, did you make new friends?", she asked. That question made me remember my last conversation with Kate Jones, could you believe that she didn't even bother to text me even when I gave her my number, hoping that she would get back to me later in the day, perhaps she doesn't need help after all and I would even block her line if she doesn't give me a reply from now till tomorrow. Can't hang out with someone who is not even serious at all.

  "I did make a new friend and she happens to be living in Nigeria, she only came to Atlanta Georgia for holiday", I replied. They both looked at each other with smiles on their faces and this is getting really creepy if I should say. "What does she do for a living?", My dad asked. "I can't really remember, the only thing I was interested in was her beautiful face and skin texture", I replied.

"That's awesome, at least you will have someone who will keep you company when you starting working in Nigeria", my mom replied. "You guys must have spent quite a lot of money, but it's nothing for a rich handsome dude like you", my dad teased. "I took care of the major bills but some of them payed some of the bills when it was necessary. I didn't even pay a single dollar for the flight I entered, my friend Michael, took care of that aspect", I replied. 

  "Well, it does pays to have good and caring friends by your side. I didn't expect you will come this early, thought you were going to stay there for a period of one month", my dad replied. "I can't do that dad, it won't be wise because there are responsibilities that I need to take care off over here and that's why I came back quite early. I told mom that I would be coming today", I replied. My dad starting staring at my mom as if she did something wrong 

"Is there a problem dad?", I asked when he kept on staring at my mom. "So you actually informed your mother that you will be coming back home today?", my dad asked looking a bit confused. "Yes, I called her this morning before I went to the airport and when I asked her to inform you that I'm on my way to the airport, she said you were sleeping", I replied.

  My mom kept quiet while this whole confusion was going on and I instantly realized that she didn't mention anything about my return to my dad. "She never mentioned anything about you coming back home today and that's why I was more surprised when I saw you walk through the front door", he replied. "Mom, is that true?", I asked, trying to clarify my dad's allegations

"Don't be angry dear, I actually forgot to tell you about it because I went back to sleep immediately I dropped the call", she replied softly, directing her reply to my dad. "Well, there's no point arguing since she clearly forgot to tell me about it. Because I would have been quite angry with you if you intentionally hid this away from me", my dad teased.

  "So since that's out of the way, how is things going at work ever since I left?", I asked with a grin. "It's has been going smoothly and Mr Williams is doing a great job at the office. He is taking his manager position very serious", he replied

I was a bit sad with the fact that someone else is doing my job. But I do deserve to be replaced because business is business and I of all people should understand that. "That's fine then, but when will I move over to Nigeria to start my new life as a manger over there", I asked
