Family
Writer’s POV
In Victoria Island. There is a big estate named Lekki island. The estate is enormous (755 km2) and a lot of beautiful big houses are built in the estate. The estate is also tight with strong securities and flashed around with lights. Both in the street and houses. No dirt in the roads of the estate or any scruffy things in the surroundings that could make the estate looks local. Both in and out of the estate looks so clean. Furthermore, the power source of the island is super good and it is rarely to see the lights of the island off. The electricity power source is 24/7. However,some says the estate is met only for the well off and well heeled. It is what that rings in the brain of most well off people due to the Luxurious things on the Island.
Anyways,the lights shines around in the mute street by the electronic poles in a bit curve shape which was giving out brightness and flashiness.
There is a ferrari car which is red in color moving on the road in the estate through the brightness and flashiness.
In that moment, it was only the car moving on the road and who was in the car?
Narrator’s POV
I was the one in the car moving the steering of the car with my palms which were glued on it. It was a busy long day for me at my business place. It wasn't an easy one for me. Well,what can I do?

They must be expecting me at home now and I can't wait to get home To meet my lovely family.
Earlier,I said it was a busy long day for me at my business place. You must be wondering what kind of job do I do? Well, I am a business man who runs a company. Also, I am a coach who runs boxes sport. Don't ask me how I run the two businesses. I know how I run my business myself without any interference. Finally,I heaved a sigh of relief because I am home already.
On getting into the compound with my car,my children had rushed out excitedly to see me home. The compound was on fire like it is like some place of clubbing due to the excitement of my children just because I am home. Kai,this children of mine must be missing me Badly. I got out of my car holding my business bag with my left hand while my Suit jacket was on my left forearm.
As soon I had stepped on the ground,come and see race of my children. The old and young ran fiercely to give me a warm tight embrace. I felt like an earthquake was about to happen and I am about to crash down. My children pounce on me like we missed each other for decades. Kai,this children. If you don't know, I had eight children and don't agape or pop eyed because it isn't the first time in history that man is giving birth to bunch of children.
Anyways, I had four boys and four girls. My first child is a girl. Her name is stephanie and she is 18 years of age. My second child name is Steven. He is just 16 years of age. He clocked That last week. My third child name is Sophia. She is a girl. My fourth child name is Sam. He is a boy. My fifth,sixth,seventh and eighth child is names are Sonnet,Shadrach,Simi and the baby of the house,Sylvester. They only took 2 years from each other. As for the boys, they all had their mother resemblance. The girls,they all had my resemblance. How I wished the boys had my resemblance while the girls had their mother's resemblance. It could have been so good. But,it is like this children of mine have had a planned and an agreement before emerging to this world of whom face to have as resemblance. Some of my children had few of my characters and some had few of their mother's characters. My mum do say something when I was younger.
According to the Yoruba tribes, it is said that what's is connected to ones blood,it would be found in the child's blood because it was the blood given birth to the child. I didn't believed it at first because I saw it as bull s**t. But,I have realized it was a Verified and confirmed words. Regardless, It doesn't halt my children from being Good. They're benevolence. If they're doesn't mean they're not cat and rat in the house. Sometimes,they busted up with each other and Loves each other as ever. That's children for everyone. However,I embraced my Children just how they did to me Saying to me in unison pleasantly.
Children: You're welcome Daddy!!!
.
Me: Thanks so much my dears!!!
I retorted with a wide dazzling grin on my cheek. They all released my body with happy grins. Stephanie collected my office bag from me While the suite jacket was taken by Steven.
Within a twinkle of an eyes, Mayhem began between the younger ones of whom to boss my Suite. Kai,this kids are troublesome and they're such a good sight to see as they fought over my jacket. I was just grinning surprisingly at them. But,I can't let them be and I sort it out between them before they tore my suite.
As for Stephanie and Steven,they're inside already. Steven who took my Suite jacket had no choice than to give his younger sister who was troubling him to give her the suite. Steven had no choice than to hand it to Sophia which later became scrimmage between Sophia and her younger ones. Since it has been settled,we got our butts into the mansion which some part of it is made with glasses. I got into the house and found out my spouse isn't in the house from my children. There was something special I never wished to miss in my entire life when I get back from work. It is the sweet lips of my spouse and the beams of her cheek.
Having taste of her lips and seeing the beam of her cheek is like an addiction I have been into since we've been Married. In pit of addiction which I can't ladder up out. I have been stuck in such pit. Since there was no afflictions, I loved the addictions.
Anyways, my first daughter let me knew their mother was at the neighbors place whose mansion is next to our mansion. I understood why she was there. So,there was no cause for alarm. God, I am missing her like hell despite she didn't go far at all. Her absence solitary does suffocate my heart. If you're genuinely in loves with your partner,you must understand what I meant.
The next things,my ears were blasted with funny gists from my children. I couldn't help but giggles at my children naivety as they all sat on the sizeable couch with me. I only lapped Sylvester and Simi on my thighs. Stephanie bombards me with gists of the hilarious things that happened in her Private university. Oops! I forgot to say this as well. Stephanie my daughter is in her final year. Isn't such a great news? She's been bombarding Her mum and I how excited she is to be in her final year. Probably,the assiduous things in her Private university no be sere sere. Don't feel a bit nervous about my Daughter's Academic. I know the first question to pop in your mind is "How will eighteen years old be in final year at the University?" We Nigerians are really good in poke nose. Some must have thought she missed some classes due to fast academics. I am not a kind of parents that condone such bullshit. This life is short. So,it is a step at a time. Well,my daughter is a Highly Competent and Intelligent girl. She grows faster than her age. From her appearance,one would brood she is 22/23.
As I listens to my Children's gists,I was just beaming as my mind crossed to my spouse again. It is just to let you know how I am missing her badly right now.
After the whole gists,I got my foot to the master bedroom upstairs. I needed a nice shower to feel refreshed and I brood it is a chilly water that can make it possible. I did the needful in the room. Indeed,it came to pass. Standing under the showers was the coolest thing ever. The flows of the shower were enough to melt and buried the body stress. Phew! I looked refreshed again. "Gugurum" That's is to say I am famished. My stomach keeps growling as my eyes caught a gold frame photo of my spouse and I when we got married to each other.
Whenever I got my eyes on the photo of ours. It serves as memories of past lives. I am sure you wished to know what happened. As my stomach is growling I don't brood I can tell you now. I need to fill up my empty stomach right now. But,it seems you are willing to hear it out.
Let's go there.
