Despite All Odds »»»Episode 22 *********** Barbra jumped, when she heard the door bell. She glanced at her kids, they were all looking downcast. “Dad I guess?” Kola rose to his feet. “With his missy…” Cassandra hissed. “Sasha? Yipppeee!” Kola screamed flinging himself at Sasha. “Hey! Don’t crush my bones!” Sasha released herself from his hug. “where is….” her voice trailed off when she saw her mother-looking so pale with buggy eyes and bags surrounding them. Her heart lurched-could it be that her father died? “Mum…I…” she swallowed. “Come.” Barbra opened her arms. Without hestation, Sasha ran to her giving her the tightest hug she could. “Mum are you okay? Dad? What happened?” she looked her mother all over. “Everybody Is fine.” Barbra smiled, she’ve always prayed for a day her daughter would talk to her in a caring tone. “Everybody aint fine! Your father…” Cassandra started angrily. “our father.” Dapo corrected. “Not my father! I disowned him long ago, the only reason why I’m still here is cos I’ve nowhere to stay!” Cassandra retorted. “Cassie calm down…” Sasha tried to be polite. “Stop asking me to calm down! You aint better yourself!” Cassandra shot at her. “just tell me whats going on, …then we can eat each others heads later.” Sasha scoffed. Everybody fell silent, nobody expected sasha to be so calm. “How did you come back?” Dapo asked. “Uncle Tee Jay paid for my ticket cos I was threatening fire if I don’t get to know whats happening back home…so are you gonna tell me whats up now?” Sasha asked. Her jaw fell when her mother relayed the story to her amidst tears, what came over her father? Was all she could ask herself. She adjusted her sitting position, trying her best to swallow the curse word about to escape her mouth. “Where’s he and his Joyce?” “another shopping spree!” Cassandra replied tending her mother. “Wonderful!” was all Sasha could mutter. Dapo marvelled at her reaction, he was expecting an outburst, but she was looking so calm- not the Sasha he knew, could it be that Lagos changed her? A knock interrupted his thoughts. “It must be them!” Kola whispered. “I’ll get the door” Sasha jumped up. “Sasha!” Barbra called, but she was already at the door. “Hi dad…” Williams almost fainted, how did she get back? He had pleaded with everyone not to let Sasha know… “Suprised to see me? Hmm” she paved way for them to get in. “So this is it ehn? Just the best way to pay her back after all she’ve done for you?” her voice shook as she spoke. “Sasha do you realise you’re talking to your father? Talk to me with respect!” Williams thundered “Well respect is reciprocal.” she grimaced. “Joyce take those things in.” williams said walking briskly to his room. “Let me have them.” Sasha collected the paper bags from Joyce walking off to her mother’s bedroom. “Hey! Who do you think you are? You can’t do such!” Joyce protested. “I’m Sasha Williams” “Oh you! I’ve heard about your devilish acts!” Joyce sneered “You just heard? Wait till you see… seeing ofcourse is believing.” Sasha walked off. “Sasha…” Barbra ran after her daughter, that girl would land her in trouble. Dapo rose to his feet, as he and his siblings followed their mother. “Sweerie did you see that?” Joyce cried “See what? Joyce You caused it all! My family is going apart cos of you!” Williams whined. “Whatever!” Joyce walked off “Come with me, I need some massage” She called over her shoulders. *********u* Kemi shook her head in pains and fear as she clasped her phone to her ear… “aunty Kay gu’day to you!” Sasha greeted from the other end “Sasha are you outta your mind? Don’t you know you’re making things worse? Dad called me to say you’re making trouble…Sasha after all I told you, you still won’t drop your thugish attitude?” Kemi rattled, like she’s reading from a book. “so you’re supporting dad?” Sasha asked. “I’m not, but for the love of our mother, lets take things easy, till when that Mgbeke gives birth.” Kemi pleaded “Wait? no way! I want that weenie out of my father’s house!” Sasha snapped. “Listen, Sasha, we’re gonna do a DNA test….” “I don’t believe that crap! She should get outta the house before the roof comes crumbling down on her!” Sasha yelled. “Sasha don’t yell at me!” “I just did! Auntie Kay, you’re his first child for crying out loud! Stop acting like some slowpoke and speak out for your mother- our mother!” Sasha wailed “You just called me a slowpoke?” “Get off my line!” Sasha snapped. “Sasha? Hello?…” the line went dead. “I’m in trouble….” Kemi sobbed throwing her over her head. “God please help me…” she wailed. WATCHOUT FOR EPISODE 23
