1501 Words
The sound of the banged door was so loud, why should this be? Who can it be? This is a hotel for goodness sake, doors should not be banged that way. I tried to peep, just to know what is going on. I am always like that. Ellah went there? To do what exactly? What the hell is her problem? She used to bad mouth her boss, still wondering where the sudden change came from. Nathan's family were close to Ellah's yet she hated him so much but not now again. She is beginning to show what her true color is. Could it be that she woke one day then start thinking of him? After all it's none of my business. I think it is. I continued cleaning but was alert of anything that might happen. "I think you are sweeter than when we dated. You kind of changed. Had it been that I hadn't been taking good care of you?" Nathan said, trying to compliment Sandra. "Going down there again is one of the greatest opportunity I think I ever had. And I wish we could continue again." He added bending his head towards her direction to get her attention. With a clearly look on his face that he wanted an answer. She bent her head away from his direction, looking around the room then getting back to herself. "I wish actually." She said. Already knew that he does not want her to talk anymore, he had his answers already but no! She wanted to say some words, even at least statement, or just a complete and simple sentence to crown her first statement. "But I am scared and pitiful of your parents. They never wanted both of us. I trust you remembered what caused our break up?" This was true. Nathan and Sandra had dated for many years. He promised her the whole world, she trusted him with her life, she gave everything a woman could give in a relationship. In all, she really tried. She is so much competent, got everything a woman needed to be called a woman. They both lived in the same house. At first, she had to stay in the second flat while Nathan stayed in the first flat. Soon and sooner, they both moved to the same building, living happily though they are not yet married. Sandra had her job which makes her more valuable to her boyfriend. She was a secretary in her company. She made her money normally. She was a good girl after all. This came a beautiful morning when her mother called, questioning her about her marital status. This is needful. She will be clocking twenty five soon, she had to get someone to choose as her husband. Have her family and then continue her dear life. She then told her about Nathan. Her parents looked forward to seeing her fiance. She told Nathan about this. Nathan was glad too and decided to call his parents to inform them about her too. On hearing this, Sandra was glad as well, hoping to see each other's parents soon. She then decided to dress up for work as well as her fiance. They both got dressed, departed for work. But before then, she reminded him of introducing her to his parents soon. Nathan on the other hand wasn't that glad. He knew his mother would to reject while his father would accept anybody. He thought about this on his way to the hotel. On his way, many thoughts ran through his mind, 'I really need my mother's blessing, she need to bless me. I don't think I can get married to someone whom my mother doesn't bless, how would I be comfortable with such? Mother means so much to me, same as father though, he would bless whosoever, but mother wouldn't bless just any person. I just hope that Sandra is the kind of girl my mother would want to bless.' 'What if it is a no from my mother? I really do love mother so much and wouldn't want to go against her decision. Her decision is my decision, whatever she says is what I would follow. What do I do?' ' I think I should just let mother see her first before jumping into conclusion.' By this time, he was already driving slowly which kept other vehicles, he was lost in his thoughts when different vehicles started honking, he gained himself back and drove recklessly, almost hit the passengers on their lane. It was just a feet away from the passenger. Anyways, his car didn't hit the passenger, he then stopped the car with a sudden brake which almost led to another accident. His face was bowed on the stirring, after a while, he raised his face for few seconds and sat well resting his back on the car seat very well. I guess, if not for the seat belt, he would have been more injured. He then rested his head for some minutes just to gain himself back. A police man came to inform him that he is not following the rules and regulations of the street. "You are supposed to park in the car park not on the street, did you forget all the rules? I've been watching you a while now, I'm not sure if you're the rightful owner of this car." The police man said with a warning face calling his fellow members to witness what is going to happen soon. "Where are your particulars? I mean, you can't be a regular driver here and be on the street for the past thirty minutes now." He said. Having hearing this, he sat up and loosed the seat belt to get his particulars, he searched the appropriate places the particulars were supposed to be, but to no avail, the particulars were no where to be found. The police men stood watching him looking for the particulars. One of them said, "before you continue finding your particulars, park in a right way." This time, he knew he was in trouble, a great offense he has committed, driving without his particulars in his cars. He sluggishly reversed the car and parked well. He continued looking for it. "I guess the particulars has turn into needle that he could not find so easily," one of them said, as others laughed, mocking him. "So Mr Man, you will have to follow us to the station to explain why you are driving on an international street without the documents." Another said as three of them entered his car and drove him off. When they got to the station, he explained that he is not a new driver that they should just allow him go home to get the particulars. "We know you might be the owner but not driving with it is the offense we are talking about here." One of the police men that followed him said. A lady them walked in, as Nathan looked back just to know who is coming, it turned out to be his old friend from college. "Who am I seeing?"Anita exclaimed. "Nathan, is this not you or am I seeing someone else?"She added with a surprising face. "Anita?" Nathan said in reply. Anita moved closer to him to give him a log time hug, this lasted for about a minute. Anita being the daughter of the D.P.O asked what was happening, one of the police men explained and Anita told them to just release him because he knows him well and probably he forgot them at home. The case was cleared and he was allowed to leave. Anita then decided to walk him out, they talked and laughed a lot while she followed him to his car. On getting there, he opened the door and Anita saw the documents at the back seat. "Do not tell me this is what you have been looking for a while now which brought you to the station!" Anita said with a questioning face. "What do you mean?"He said as he peeped to see what she was seeing only to find the particulars. "Ah! I even searched for this for Luke thirty minutes and I couldn't find it." Nathan said. "Probably this was for us to meet again."Anita said. Let me tell you, Anita has been the girl mom wants him to marry since college, that is why she has decided not to bless any other girl apart from Anita. But for him, he doesn't even like her at all, they were only close friends and had not intention of having any affairs with her. They didn't even date from morning to night, yet that was what his mom always wanted. Anita requested to let her just know where he works, at least his company alone. So, she went to the other side of the car and hopped in. Nathan did as well and they drove straight to his hotel. Even with a stressful and an embarrassing morning.
