Chapter 3

Where did I drop this thing, Desewa said digging into 

her handbag for the third time I thought I brought it 

from the shop I need to fix this dress before 

tomorrow, she picked up her phone to dial 

Blessing one of her apprentice.

Hello blessing, how are you? I'm fine, do you 

know if I packed the pearls for blue dress I cut today 

I've looked everywhere for it, no ma you left the 

studio in angrily I can't remember you taking any 

pearls, thought I could finish the dress tonight, alright 

dear thank you, good night, good night ma. 

I can't believe I didn't take those thing what was I 

thinking, that reminds me I need to call my brother. 

Big bro! how are you doing? tired, exhausted and 

hungry but I'm fine, this one you called me today 

what's going on do you need anything, Simade her 

brother said jokingly, you never pick if I call, 

even if you pick either you're about to enter the 

operating room or with a patient or something else 

and you never call back wasn't even expecting you to 

pick, do you ever take a break from work? you know I 

love you guys even my wife complains, it's just that 

my job is so demanding "how are you anyway? and 

how's work?, work is fine and stressful, we need to 

talk I miss you we miss you I would like 

to see you it's been a while we saw, Desewa said 

smiling will you come to the hospital, you know if I 

come you won't have my time as long as I'm not your 

patient and I said we miss you not just me your 

mother especially and your little sister, mom 

organized a family dinner on Sunday, she wants you 

to be there and not just you with the kids and your 

wife I know you're about to say you don't have time,

her know you're coming, I'll call her, I need to go now,

Man is hungry what's for dinner? she said walking 

towards the kitchen why didn't I buy take out I can't 

start cooking now I'll just take cereal no I can't take cereal 

for dinner, I'll go with this, she said carrying the tray 

of apple on the kitchen counter, she washed it took a 

small knife and left the kitchen.

Let's get something done, she whispered to herself, 

she picked up her macbook to design a wedding dress. 

Her phone started ringing, who's calling me at this 

time of the night, she said as she reached out to get 

her phone "hello" this is Desewa, who I'm I on to? this 

is Xavier, I dropped by your studio earlier, yes I 

remember Mrs Martin's son right? yes, okay how 

may I help you, I'm just going to go straight to the 

point I was thinking if we could hangout 

sometime, I was mesmerized by your beauty when I 

saw you today I'm sorry if I'm to forward, it's alright, 

can we see tomorrow to talk better, uhm I'm always 

very busy, I can come over to your shop if you don't 

mind, it's fine, I'll call you tomorrow, he said, alright 

then, see you tomorrow, bye, she said as she hung up, 

what in the world was that, she said to herself .

She heard a knock on the front door, who's there? it's 

me, Kemi said, I thought you said you ain't sleeping 

over, she said as she opened the door, I changed my 

mind, how was your date? it was a disaster, he just 

kept on talking about his work and himself he's so 

boring and he's not my type, he's not your type? 

Desewa asked laughing, it's not funny, I can't keep 

turning guys down like you do, at my age I don't have 

a stable relationship, you can laugh at me if you like 

but I'll keep trying till I find my prince charming, she 

said smiling, speaking of prince charming, the client I 

was suppose to meet today, she couldn't make it so she 

asked her son to drop the fabric.

When I saw this guy I was speechless, he kept on 

starring at me, he called an hour ago and said we 

should hangout and he will like to see me tomorrow, 

she said smiling sheepishly, are you kidding me" that's 

great Sewa really great, I think I should stop chasing 

guys I should let them chase me, you're making me 

laugh Kemi, I don't know if I'm gonna like him, cause 

he came to me doesn't mean he's the right one, let me 

see his picture, Kemi said, I don't have it let me check 

him on i********:, she grabbed her phone, look" oh 

my God! Sewa he's really handsome, he's hot and rich 

and hot and rich, babe this is it he looks really cool, 

Kemi said happily, he is definitely rich, Sewa said, he 

actually is and I'm sure it's not his father's money, 

how do you know that? Sewa asked, he doesn't look 

like someone that feeds on their parents money, don't 

let this one go baby girl, what else does a girl want 

and you're growing old I need a goddaughter or 

godson, I'm not that old calm down, I don't know him 

that well what if he's a serial killer? she said laughing, 

what are you saying again, please don't chase him 

away, she said jokingly, I'm off to bed. 

Sewa please when you're going out tomorrow 

don't wake me up just go to work you heard me, she 

said standing up, you know I'll definitely wake you, 

good night anyway, Sewa said closing her laptop. She 

went to her room, kicked off her slippers 

and laid on the bed.

She picked her phone to call her sister, hey baby, did you just get

home? Sorry I didn't call earlier had to sort somethings out first,

why are you still up? I'm binge watching a movie series, almost

done with it though, I can't remember the last time I sat to

watch a movie talk less of binge watching, sis you need to get a

life too not just making a living do your have time for yourself,

I'm trying I'll take a break soon, is everything okay with you?

Sewa asked, I'm very fine I can't wait to see you, I can't wait to

see you too, have a good night, she said and hung up.
