It

funny when people think the gods are not alive, we are much alive, you see us everyday, you talk to us each day you just don’t know who we are. I am sango the god of thunder and fire history says am very aggressive and yes I can be a little aggressive, that only when you get on my nerves, I have been alive for way to long and lately nothing exist me anymore.Many think my name is Sony thunders, yeah that my name I know it sound funny but when you live this long you get less creative. I have a huge conglomerate around the world SONY-T it produce all sort of product from the smallest to the largest product, cars, phones, airplane, malls and many more. Am seen as a young guy at his early 30s who’s father left with so much wealth funny there don’t know am the father and still the son. I could say I am very attractive, I made my figure quiet stunning which makes me very attractive I got the ladies drooling over me. I find human very annoying always hoping, praying fighting for nothing, they annoy me cause the love they for the world is just to unreasonable knowing they have less than an hundred years to live, this is why I don’t like associating myself with such low creature I always get confuse why Orumila create them. Orumila want me to understand them but I just can’t, am nothing like obatala who find them interesting, I can’t see more in them.This is why I’m resting away from that nosy city, and taking a very peaceful rest on this island. The phone on the left side close to the night lamp rings, sony picked it with a frown on his face, WHAT!!! Sorry sir it me sir, of course I know do I look stupid not to know sony spoke furiously, answer my goddam question Dickson why do you call me. Sorry sir I don’t mean to I only called cause there is an emergency issue at the head office in Lagos, so why do I need to get inform said sony get the issue resolve and don’t call me anymore, he cut the call. This is why I can’t stand human always working and taking life too serious can’t I have a peaceful weekend without this nitwit annoying me I think I need to make them into some sacrifice product so they could let me rest. He picked his coat from the coat rack and switch on the light, the room was bright making the exotic interior more attractive and charming, the couch was a gold plated imported couch from Turkey and the center rug has a gold color which complement the couch and the high celling curtain, it has a rusty golden look with white stripes at each end of the room was very exotic. Sony got up and walk into the kitchen and he was in the street of London.I felt today like any other day, but I never could have thought in my thousand years, what would happen next. My life has been a roll coaster rather than a stream of cloud. A thousand year ago I and Ogun had a huge clash in heaven which cause choose in both heaven and earth. I and Ogun have never been on good terms that bastard thinks he is stronger than me, just imagine that. On that very day I had to show Ogun that I am the strongest and greatest god and lead us to fight for 70 days and night. Orumila got angry and sent us down to earth he also put a restriction on us that we can’t be apart from each other, we can only last 7days away from each other. When we were sent away from heaven to earth we were place In a cubicle like house for 200 years. I can say that was the greatest torture I have ever faced. We were later granted freedom which cost us to only stay apart for only 7 days. I haven’t seen that peasant for 3 days. As I stroll through the street of London an hand hold my coat from behind only to see the face I have longed for the most in all my immortal years. I say my “AREWA”, history has it that I love my youngest wife the most (OYA) unfortunately that is not true Oya is so manipulative that she made everyone believe I love her the most, frankly I fell in love with a mortal, she was the most beautiful and prettiest woman I have ever seen but I couldn’t be with her because of my jealous wives. That a story for another day thinking of it makes my heart ache like crazy. I have waited for her reincarnation for over 7 centuries but my patience turned into agony, pain and sadness and I despise human for it.The next day I decide to go to the office I was greeted like the great god that I am, I search around to see if I could find my other half instead I only see faces that only get me annoyed, I was wearing a dark suit with a red tie just like how the humans. My assistant came to me, he greeted me gracefully but my response wasn’t really oral. His name is Tony, he informed me I was having a meeting in 15 minutes, I wasn’t really present to fair because al I can think of is my Arewa, as I got into the conference room I realize I wasn’t cut up for this, I was too distracted to make any decision so instead I signal my trusted associate James to take over the meeting. As I walk out of the conference room ready to go back into my office my left eye saw the expected figure that got me into the office today, I changed my direction path to the left. I told the receptionist to call my Arewa to my office. After just 6 minutes I heard a knock on the door, yes I counted the time, and there my other half entered my office room, from the look on her face she was shock to see that I was her boss’s boss’s, very funny I know. She stand stiff as if I was going to hurt her I told her to take a seat, she sat politely to be frank I was getting very scared now because all sort of crazy thought was going through my mind right now, and I don’t want her to see me as a weirdo, Oh how I wish I had powers to read human minds, Orumila really is a crazy guy, now I understand why he left that out.Hello sir she said, I try to keep a straight face but I couldn’t, I smile like a wild sheep that found its owner. Arewa I said you must have found this shocking right, then she gave me the must the delighted smile I have last seen for over 50 years, she said sir sorry but my name isn’t Arewa, that when I knew I had called Arewa forgetfully that when I realize I actually don’t know her name, she said my name is Catherine, I repeated her name twice but it still doesn’t sound familiar to me then I said should I call you Arewa, she then look at me with her big almond shaped eyes, which has a thick and natural eye lashes it moves elegantly like that of a peacock showing it bright colorful feathers, she asked but why, then I stood from my seat then I moved a little bit closer to her and said because you are beautiful, I could see her fair soft check turning red as she blushes. This feeling am having no feels so unreal I thought I would never feel this way again, the thousand butterfly dancing in my stomach, my palm sweating, my lips tangling and my eyes blinking fast like that of lighting. She then turned to me and said thanks for the complement sir. I couldn’t respond to her because I was fighting my demons that moment. I return back to my seat and said back to the agenda of the day, I will like to offer you a promotion. She looked stunned and said WHAT!!! ME!!! I smiled and said yes who else, why me thou she said I haven’t actually done anything much significant to warrant such promotion, am sorry if that sound rude, then I said no of cause that a good question I don’t want you to feel you got the promotion out of nepotism. I want to give you a promotion because I was surveying some stalls yesterday and not to say much you were the best attendant I meet that is so passionate a bout what you do, which made this promotion yours, but that totally depend whether you want it or not, with excitement she said YES!! I want it sir. I laughed and said you haven’t even heard what it was, why accept it so fast I asked? Then she said the most beautiful thing nobody would ever tell me, she said case I trust your judgement, I felt like a huge iceberg is been melted in my heart.It was the next day after I have given my Arewa a promotion which is just a cover but to make her stay much closer to me. I gave her a position as my personal stylist and I increase her salary with 4 zeros, she was happy when she saw the appointment letter which actually please me as well. I was at home waiting patiently for my new stylist to arrive.Catherine POV:After getting the sudden promotion I rush back home to see my roommate and best friend. I live at avenue garden apartment 259, it was a typical building nothing special I wouldn’t say it was average rather a poor environment the rent here is very cheap that was why I and my friend rented an apartment here, the neighborhood isn’t actually save most time at night you hear loud scream from gun fight among does gangster staying in the hood. I am an orphan and I and my friend Miranda meet at the orphanage home and ever since we became best friends she is my only family.
