PREDICTION (EPISODE 11)

AUSTIN: ...the noise was too much so the teacher got upset and asked every student to tear a sheet of paper and prepare for test. It was like a film to me when I saw everyone taking out their bags.

MIKE: Uncle Kenny? That corper?

AUSTIN: As if you remember. I hate that guy with passion. The test lasted for just 5 minutes after which he collected our papers, most of us were still writing, those that didn't submit on time, he tore their script.

MIKE: So... Whats that got to do with the hatred you have towards OLUCHI.

AUSTIN: Guy, just relax and listen. I wrote almost nothing during the test so after getting OLUCHI'S reply, which was YES!. I waited a while before going to CORPER KENNY'S office to plead with him and see if he would pardon me and maybe reset another test for me.

MIKE: Did he listen to you?

AUSTIN: Patience na. Let me talk. As I got to the door of his office, I overheard him having a conversation with someone, so I decided to wait for the person to come out before I go in. When I paid much attention, it turned out the person in his office was OLUCHI, she was also there to plead for a resit. Uncle Kenny told her he would give her a 100% if she sleeps with him in his office.

MIKE: Did she?

AUSTIN: I didn't hear her say YES, but I know what I heard, moans and grunts, started like a struggle but the noise subsided after a while. I never waited for them to finish doing whatever they were doing before I left out of Anger.

MIKE: Did you confront her? Did you ask her what happened?

AUSTIN: Of what use is it asking when I know she would just lie and cover it up. I started avoiding her since that moment, until I discovered we attend the same church. Now she's on my neck again. I can't get married to a cheap whore.

MIKE: AUSTIN dont be like that, she did it for a purpose, she didnt do it for money or for material things, she did it to secure her future, so she isn't that cheap as you term her to be.

AUSTIN: You know why I said she is cheap? The test wasnt recorded, the class resitted for the test and most of us passed.

MIKE: But she did get her 100% as he promised, right?

AUSTIN: What are you trying to say? That sleeping with our teacher to get high grades was a good thing?

MIKE: She was scared. She panicked. Can you swear you wouldn't do the same if you were in her shoes? Oh, dont forget you went to his office to plead as well.

AUSTIN: IT still doesn't change anything, ever since that day, I developed hatred for her.

MIKE: Ill find out the truth.

AUSTIN: How do you mean?

MIKE: Ill confront her when next we meet and practically ask her about what happened between she and the corper when we were still in secondary school.

AUSTIN: Micheal, i no send you o. Please don't put me in trouble O.

MIKE: Do I look like a kid to you? Don't worry, I won't involve you, but I'll let you know the outcome.

AUSTIN: Hmmm, alright na. Thanks a lot. Let me get your contact, so we'll hook up whenever we are both free.

*After school one evening...*

VICTORY: What?

PASCAL: I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

VICTORY: Please forgive you? What did you do? When did you offend me?

PASCAL: Victory, you know what I mean, please stop pretending. I'm sorry I tried to take advantage of you, please forgive me.

VICTORY:  Oh, that? Its OK. I've accepted to be your mistress. My sister's happiness matters more.

PASCAL: Please! I know you're the mastermind behind MMA'S plot against me, we both know I'm not the father of that baby in her stomach. Why then are you doing this to me?

VICTORY: I know you're not the father of the baby in her stomach, but I do know that you're the father of the baby in her womb. You wanted to date me and marry my sister at the same time? Well, now you have your way, so why are you pleading with me? or don't you want me as your mistress anymore?

PASCAL: What would you have me do? Name anything and I swear to God, ill do it. But please, you and MMA should stop this madness.

VICTORY: Fine, all you have to do is marry my sister and take responsibility over that child in her womb.

PASCAL: You know I can't do that. Thats the actual reason I'm here.

VICTORY: Pascal, you did this to yourself, so please dance to the music you created for yourself. Maybe next time, you'll learn to control your manhood and remain faithful. Only God knows how many women you must be cheating on my sister with.

------------------------------

PA MMA: Mma, are you sure Pascal is the one responsible for that baby you're carrying?

MMA: Don't you trust me?

PA MMA: Its not that I don't trust you, but to Clarify things, the both of you would be going for a medical test to prove him the biological father of that child in your womb.

MMA: *Shocked* Papa? Medical Test?

PA MMA: Yes. Thats why I'm asking you now, to be sure he is the true father of the baby in your womb, to avoid shame and embarrassment later on after the test.

MMA: I...

PA MMA: Its OK Mma, if you need time to think about it, I'll give you as much time as you need, even though I do trust you, I don't want this test to come as a surprise when I suggest it in front of him to show him how much I trust you.

MMA: Why would you think I would lie about him? Why would you even nuture the thought that I've had sex with more than one man?

PA MMA: You're my Daughter and I know you even more than you think you know yourself. I know you even more than your mother.

MMA: I still don't get you dad.

PA MMA: I saw the look on your face when Victory was doing all the talk. You felt guilty, you felt ashamed, if he truly is the one responsible for that child in your womb, you wouldn't let Victory say a word and you would have told me long ago about it.

MMA: Its n...

PA MMA: Don't say anything. Just think about what I've said and tell me the truth when you've finished thinking about it.

----------------------------

*One evening on her way back from the market *

MMA: Good Evening Sir.

PA AUSTIN: Good Evening My Daughter. How are you?

MMA: I'm fine sir and you?

PA AUSTIN: I'm OK. Its been long I saw you in church, hope there is no problem.

MMA: Of course not. I've just been quite busy lately, but I'm always in church on Sundays.

PA AUSTIN: Hmm, Alright. So how is the bab... Sorry, I mean how is your stomach? How is your health?

MMA: I'm perfectly fine sir. Thanks for asking.

PA AUSTIN: Alright. Please make sure you come to church on Sunday. I hope to see you then.

MMA: I won't miss the service. Thank you once again sir. *Looks at him as he walks away.* #To herself# Could it be that AUSTIN told his dad I'm pregnant for him? No No No, that's not true, that can't be true. AUSTIN would never go that far, besides, I don't want anyone to know he is the father of that baby, I'll rather use Micheal, he's the only one I have true feelings for.

PA MMA: #As he walks away# She is really beautiful, my son sure have a good taste in women, my grandson would be very handsome, even if it's a girl, she would be very beautiful. Just a matter of time, I think I'll cancel the marriage engagement AUSTIN has with Chief Oluchi's daughter. What I really want is a grandchild and nothing more.
