Unexpectedly, PERKINS who's the first son of the family arrived at home from her schooling trip without notifying anybody. Baz told Cleve to tidy up his things "your time is up, as you can see that our beloved son is back, and he's capable of running her mother's investment,so therefore, be gathering your luggages
As your services is no longer be needed, Already, I've told Ma'am to complete your Visas sooner as possible. " Ma'am and Lisa began to show cleve love in excess. " What is an unforgettable gift I can offer that you'll never forget? Ma'am asked Cleve at a spot. The questions met him so urgently and deep. ," Don't be in hurry to answer me, go and rethink well then, feed me back within few days." Alright.
Cleve returned to his room, walked from wall to wall, in the morning, night and afternoon. Yet he couldn't decide for himself. He remembered Bob, the friend who introduced him to ma'am. "why will I share something about me with a traitor like Bob? Does that really make any sense to a nigga like me"? Though i hadn't called him since a long time ago, yet it doesn't mean" The idea tickled on his mind to dial Bob's contact number and it rang. "Hello! Bob what's up, It been a long time."
Yeah! Have you forgotten about me? Cleve asked." No I’m sorry, I have been busy all these whiles, even right now. How is your ma'am?
"They're all fine. please I have questions to ask you, friend"
"Yes, what's that"?
What is the biggest and unforgettable gift someone could offer that will make you never t forget about him or her?
Bob heaved ''dude this is a big question though, as of me." A hefty sum of money could have been better. Did someone promise you a gift? and you don't know what to choose?" he asked.
"Not really, I'm just debating on my mind in case of such an occurrence."
Okay! Have a nice day. Bob replied., they exchanged pleasantries and ended the call.
Cleve couldn't sleep all through the night, his mind rumbled in thoughts. Still, yet, he couldn't have a choice.
Does ma'am want to test me? And if I choose money, she might think I'm too fond of wealth. Even the next day in office, A lot of files needed to be sorted out on his table, but none he was able to attend.
He returned home and showered in urgent as he felt more heat in his head due to overthinking. " come and join us at dinner, meal is ready. Lisa called on him.' He giggle. OK,'I'm coming,"
" Food right now? He asked himself. When i'm here thinking of going to the kitchen myself, it's okay. Maybe she knew I was tired, nothing can stop me from retuning back to my country. I'm taking my leave" he uttered in his mind.
Cleve joined them at the dinner and they dinned together. He could only imagine why the pampering was coming lately. "Was it because I'm about to leave? The question he asked himself.
Before Cleve i'd wake up the next morning, Lisa was almost done with the household chores. Just a week before Cleve would leave, for his country, yet he hadn't made a choice. Ma’am met him and asked him about what he had decided on as a gift for his send off. “We’re running out of time,“ she told him.
Cleve said, I'm just confused right now, because" there are so many things on my mind.
He went to the office where he found several documents on his table but none of them he could sign just as it happened on the previous day. He felt bored in his head due to overthinking, and couldn't wait to take off his jacket, which he flung to the chair, followed by a cool shower.
“Brother, your dinner is ready” Lisa uttered, respectively. Cleve starr at her twice again “isn't she the same girl who used to troll me when she just arrived from school? he questioned himself.”
After that dinner , he took a stroll down the street, saw a lot of inspiration, but, none of it answered to his point of confusion. He returned home bewildered.
Six days to take off, and you haven't made a choice? I’m reminding you for the last time, before i decide on my mind" ma’am was upset when she confronted him. Cleve muted and walked out of her.
"Why can't I decide for myself? After all, I still need money, but I don't know of her plans for me. And I'm afraid to talk about the issue of money because she might thinking I could defraud her for that sake. "People can sometimes be negative thinkers.” A lot of thought ruminated in his mind. On the fourth day of no decision. Lisa made his burden lighter as she took his roles as her new responsibilities. They had good times for gists“ Her opening sentence was” me and ma'am apologized on behalf of mr Baz whom you had a bitter experience from, Please,let it be of the past and do not keep grudges in your heart” Cleve giggled, and said "Oh that's gone I've accepted my fate. You’ve turned a new leaf for the past few days.” Lisa smiled and said “yeah, it takes time to know each other, and our attitudes can be different. I’ve realized that kind-hearted people like you deserve good memories“, she replied.
"That's true, I could feel the good vibes. Excuse me, I have a question to ask?
And what could that be about?
“Aside from your parents, what do you value mostly that if given,it won't be deleted from your memory even when it is no longer existing? “.
Lisa took a short break for a moment as she sighed. “Depend on what it is” she replied.
Yes, can you highlight a few examples, based on your life experiences and choices?”
Firstly, a good husband, friend and children to be given birth. She replied.
How about someone who grants you a lot of money to alleviate you from poverty? Will such a person find a place in your everlasting book of records? Cleve asked..
“it is certain, yet it depends on the sum granted and the way I make use of it.”
And the money was balled in clubs without transforming your life for better? CLeve asked again.
“I don't know, then it I’ll be your fault”.
There’s no fault in enjoying oneself to the fullest. At least, I will always remember those days of enjoying myself.
She replied. Both of them cracked into jokes.
Not even a cricket voice could be heard. What a dark and deadly hour of the night. Cleve didn't put on a shoe, sneaked to Lisa’s apartment and knocked persistently at her door saying “Hello someone”?
Lisa woke up. At first, she was scared to respond,“ As the knocking was persistent, she asked “who’s that?.”
It's Cleve, please can we have a brief tête-à-tête?
But we were together throughout the day.
I remember just now.
“Night is an hour of privacy. Let's see at dawn" She uttered in a snoring voice.”
it was Exactly seven at dawn. Cleve was late for work, a moment which can be described as rush hour. He picked up his suitcase and hurried outdoors, his left-hand finger buttoned up the long sleeve. “ Excuse me Cleve, your attention is needed in the kitchen”, Lisa called him back.He turned a dead face at her. “My attention in the kitchen? What an effrontery. Can't she see that I'm set for the office? Going back to cook in an official dress?” The speech remained unutterable.” Lisa became curious about the type of face starring at her.” Cleve was already lost in his thought.” Hello, are you referring to me? Cleve asked.
“She said Then who? Come indoor please.”
Wow! I'm that cheap like a steer. My sister dare not disrespect me like her”
He uttered in his mind while stepping on her footprint. they arrive to the kitchen, Lisa drop a bundle of cash into his palm “accept the little assistant I can render to support your upcoming journey”.
This is too much!. Cleve exclaimed. Don't worry, ma'am had promised to help me. By accepting this money from you will portray me as an ingrate. If she get to realize."
Are you going to tell her about it?
Not really, but I might tell if she interrogate me. Thank you!
Cleve dropped the cash in his suitcase and struck out like a gazelle grazing on green pastures.
Perkin had been in the office before cleve arrival to Cleve surprise. They exchange salutations.
"Yeah! Good morning indeed, I believe that you had a wonderful night? before now." Yes, thanks,.
Cleve served as an office assistant, with no signs of resentment. During the break time, he invited Ariana the secretary to an eatery and bought her delicacies. "Is today a special day? The Secretary asked him,Not yet, even though every day is special.
That's true, i wish to be enlightened on a topic which says "what is an unforgettable gift that'll makes you never forget the giver, even when they're no longer in existence?.
She said "hmm, love is an unforgettable gift, money as follows. Please can you tell me the essence of this interrogation? Because I don't skip my brain over riddles. She replied,
He said, "don't worry." Thanks for the answer, in short.He bounced on his feet and checked his wristwatch." Ouch! Brake is over." They both rushed back to the office.
What takes you both so long at the eatery? Perkin asked, Cleve nodded his head in affirmation to indicate "no".
Alright!, but please, try to adjust with time when next.
