Peace And Rose

Donald shook his friends as he beamed out of the car.

“Preparation don start, introduction is around the corner..” Francis smiled as both shook.

“Yes oh, I don’t want to wear just any cloth, I’m just coming from the fashion designer, that day is going to be great.” Philip said as he laughed.

“Wait oh, when you now get dressed as if you’re even the husband, what should this guy put on?” Francis started laughing at Philip as he pointed at Donald.

“Guys, what do you think I can buy as a special gift for…” he winked and continued.

“..my Cynthia.” He concluded with a big grin.
“Special gift?.. what is that ooh…” Francis and Philip faced each other as they started celebrating on what he’d buy.
Donald was just smiling as he stared at them, he was the one who told them he wouldn’t visit the office throughout that week because he had to prepare for his introduction that would be holding on Saturday.

He was coming from the supermarket where he went to get his quality perfumes and body sprays.
He had also bought wines and drinks before he called his friends to ask them what it was nice to buy.

They were at General Gas road while discussing, at the front of Esmak Plaza.
It was one of the biggest plazas in the state, he knew there were places where he could buy anything that would fit Cynthia, but he wouldn’t bring it on, he loved asking his friends because they might have better ideas.

He was still grinning as he stared at them when Philip brought up an idea.

“We can get her silver, let’s buy a lot of things that are silver. Do you know the size of her shoes?” He enquired.

“No, I dont.” He replied almost immediately.
“Alright, let’s count that one out. We’re gonna buy laptop, phone, iPad, wristwatch, everything should be silver.” He concluded.

“Does that really make sense? Why don’t you just buy her a brand new car.” Francis suggested.

“She rejected the car I bought for her during her birthday.” He replied him dismissing the idea of buying a car.
“What of a big house?” Francis brought up another suggestion.

“Exactly, a well furnished place! I told her earlier that the house she’s in is not up to standard. Nice suggestion.” Donald shook him happily.

“That’s also good, let’s start the preparation immediately.” Philip added.

KATE AND FRANKLIN were seated close to each other on the sofa.
Kate had left her sister’s place early that morning because she might be suspected whenever the trouble began, she went to her brother- Franklin’s house to stay and discuss with him.

She just got there in less than ten minutes, Lara had served her hot tea and promised she’d be back with a bowl of rice for her.

Kate was smiling, that was the lady her father didn’t want Franklin to marry, if not for Frank’s wisdom, he’d have left the lady likewise.
What Franklin had always said was that it wasn’t neccessary his father should be on seat on his wedding day, he had to call his uncle, he was the one who acted as his father the day he got married to Lara.

Since he got married to her, his father had never spoken a word to him, he started holding grudges against his brother who stood like Frank’s father.

“I don’t know why your dad is like this, I just don’t!” He snapped.

“Really, what he’s doing is wrong.

I wonder what’s going to happen on Saturday.” Kate said as she exhaled.

“Should you say Saturday? He’s going to know about her disappearance soon, before Saturday.” He hissed.

“I hope he won’t accuse her friends.” She said glimpsing at the tickling wall clock.

“That’s if they aren’t smart, anyone can’t order me anyhow..
you know.” He chortled as he turned his head, he looked directly into the kitchen and saw Lara preparing the breakfast.

“Bro, I have to go and join her.” Kate stood and dropped the tray of tea she had with her on the small stool before her and walked to the kitchen to assist Lara.

“No problem, we can still travel back to Ibadan.” Lawrence said as he glanced at his wristwatch.

“With this regular medical check- ups?” Maria chimed in.

“Yes, let’s know the time and dates, we will visit here anytime the check-up is due.” He suggested.

“That’s true, correct!” Paul reasoned.

“So when are you returning to Ibadan?” Ismail asked Cynthia.

“For now, I don’t know. But, I won’t spend much time here.” She smiled.

“Hmmn.. there’s no leave at work, why this sudden leave?” Paul beamed.

Cynthia grinned. You guy’s wouldn’t understand..
she surmised as she kept her head low.

“Alright, we have to get going.
I assure you he’s going to recollect everything within a week.” Ayomide smiled and took his hands off Raymond.

“Ray, let’s go.”
“The Doctor said his own type of amnesia is not going to take time before everything falls back to the normal position.” She informed.

“Thanks so much, Maria. God bless you.” Paul smiled.

“You’re welcome, so how did you guys get to know that he’s been in this Osun State?”
She enquired, she had been wondering since they arrived.

Ayomide explained to them and they all spoke for few minutes before the guys got set to leave.

It was after their departure that Maria remembered she didn’t give them the diary she saw in his car, they’re going to collect that some other day she concluded and started gisting with Cynthia.
