*****SHADOWS FROM THE PAST***** EPISODE 26 “What right do you have to talk to my girlfriend like that?” Raymond asked immediately he entered his perents sitting room. Mrs Bianca Douglas was making a call when Raymond entered. “Its your son who has come to shout on me because of one wretched girl.” Mrs Douglas said to the person at the other end of the line which is no other person but Chief Douglas. “Mummy, is it a must for me to marry someone from a rich family? Then my wealth will be as useless as anything. The only way I can make a difference with my money is if I spend it on the needy.” Raymond said. “Shut you mouth. You are young to understand some things. And I’ll let you know them. You see….” Mrs Douglas was saying before her son cut her short. This time she has ended the call with her husband. “Raymond, are you mad? See how you are talking to your mother.” Atinuke shouted as she approached mother and son. “You have no say in this. I know you’ll be on your mother’s side when you have been making plans for me to marry a billionaire like me which is not gonna happen.” Raymond told her off. “Am not taking anybody’s side. What mum did was bad but…” “But what?… You better learn to make decisions on your own. Am sure you and your mother would have written a letter to the state governor stating how much you love him and you want to be his wife.” Raymond said. “Me? State governor…” Atinuke was saying as her voice trailed off. “There is no decision to make here. What I said is the final. That girl has no place in our family wether you like it or not.” Mrs Douglas said. “You must have tried you hand on comedy while you were young. If this family is all about place, class, money then I see no sense in being a member of this family.” Raymond replied. “Not when am alive will you marry that girl. Even after my death my spirit will frustrate her out of your house.” Mrs Douglas said adjusting her spectacle. “Like Grandma(Chief Douglas’ mother) frustrated you when Dad choosed to marry you even though you are his secretary?” “Shut your mouth. What do you know?” “Am not shutting up. You keep talking about class. As far as I can remember you finished your first degree after you gave birth to me which means you got married a dropout but Tina is a graduate at twenty-four. You couldn’t beat that.” Raymond said rudely. “You called me a dropout?” “Its a bitter truth. Dad gave you position of his secretary because he had interest in you. Tina started working with me on merit. You need to see her result, she graduated in flying colours. Only God knows where she’ll be in two years time. Maybe a world renown businesswoman.” Raymond said, his anger rising above its limit. Mrs Douglas kept quiet for a few seconds trying to process what her son just said. She picked up her phone and dialled a number as tears rolled down her eyes. “You need to see you son calling me a dropout, a bloody secretary because of a girl.” Mrs Douglas said to her husband. Raymond kep quiet and was fuming as his parents talked on phone. “Daddy, you know I can’t do such. She was calling my girlfriend all sort of names.” “So your girlfriend is more important than your mother?” Raymond kept quiet and was listening as his father continued scolding him. “Tomorrow at 12, I want to see you. Tell the pilot to get the jet engine ready.” Chief Douglas ordered. “Okay sir.” Raymond replied as he hung up. Mrs Douglas snatched her phone from her son as she angrily walked out of sitting room. “Mad boy is in love.” Atinuke said before exiting the sitting room. Raymond seeing there is nothing else to do decided to leave so he can see Tina before it becomes more darker. The time was 8:30pm. –to be continued–
