****Shadows From The Past,**** Episode 23 #Doro_yemzy Raymond was seated in the company of his three best friends, Davies, Majid and Sam. Davies is the eldest of the quartet at thirty two he is married with a son to call his own. A young politician who is aspiring for a seat in the House of Representative, the eldest son of Chief Remi Davies, a former vice president in Nigeria. Davies is naturally gifted to be a leader, a public speaker, an activist and above all a councellor. At a tender age of sixteen he was made the senior prefect in his secondary school, and by the time he graduated and was waiting for admission he had written different motivational books. By the time he got into his third year in the university he was elected by the student union as the president and his fellow student enjoyed his tenure as the president. Even though it was his dream to become a Lawyer or an activist, his father stood his way and convinced him into studying political science while his younger sister has made a name in law. Majid on his part is a young businessman just like Raymond. He started doing business from a very tender age. Striking deals with his siblings, they’ll have his meat in turns and he’ll take their pocket money. Majid knew every way which he could use to generate money. The only difference between him and a businessman from the eastern part of Nigeria is their language. He is engaged to a young model. Sam who was widely regarded to as bigsam or Sammy is a music producer and a rapper. Just like Nigerian-born American rapper Wale of Maybach music. Sammy plies his trade in the united state and does less music in his fatherland. Even though he had been a stepping stone to most other Nigerian musician who came into international limelight through bigsam. Sammy is rich and everyone knows that but his love for women has been a major setback in his bank account. In the last three years, Sammy has proposed to four women with expensive gold/ diamond rings and after a few months of engagement, they all break up on terms of inreconciliable differences. He is currently going out with a popular American actress and their relationship seems promising. “Raypower, are you still afraid to talk to these cheap Nigerian girls?” Sam asked Raymond. Davies and Majid both bursted into laughter out of mockery. “Enough of that boys. I just got a gold fish.” Raymond said suprising everyone of them. “Tell me more.” Majid said. Raymond explained everything about Tina, how they met, how things sprang up, how he asked her out. “You want to marry a girl that ought to be one of your numerous side chics?” Sam asked. “No way am I attending your wedding. That poor thing?” Majid added. Raymond tried to talk his friends out of labelling his girlfriend with bad names but the two bad eggs of the quartet, Majid and Sam seemed to be enjoying themselves at the expense of Raymond’s feelings. “Raymoney, all I have to tell you is to be watchful. Marrying a rich and classy lady and marrying a poor and classless lady isn’t the most important thing. But marrying a lady with whom your happiness is guaranteed. I can’t tell you what to do because I believe you know what is good for you. All that remains now is blessing from your parent.” Davies adviced like the elder brother he was to his friends. “Come off it jor.” Majid said. “Marriage is not like politics o. You know nothing about love.” Sam said. After a series of arguments and jokes Davies announces his departure. “Boys, am leaving. My wife must be waiting.” He said picking up his car keys. “My regards to Samantha and Junior.” Raymond who was also known as Raymoney or Raypower said. “I don’t know his problem. His wife doesn’t give him chance to enjoy himself. I swear I don’t see him winning the upcoming election.” Sam said angrily a few minutes after Davies left. “That shows how responsible he is. Mind you he is married.” Raymond said. “Meaning? We are irresponsible.” Majid said. “Did you hear me say that? Am leaving guys.” Raymond said picking up his bunch of keys too. “Mind you we are responsible too.” Majid said picking his keys as Sam followed him. Everyone of them laughing as they exited the guesthouse. –to be continued– My gist source is Africansgist
