Despite All Odds: Episode 33(pre final episode) ********** Barbra took a few steps back, so she could have a full view of the room, its new look was beautiful enough to welcome a new bride. Was it the Kingsized bed or the wardrobe and dresser, the beautiful flower vase or the soft curtains. Sheve spent alot, thanks to her sisters contributions. The dresser was filled with body cream, perfumes, lotions, cleansers of different shapes and sizes, everything a young girl would need. The shame she felt was unestimable when she discovered her daughters still using petroleum jelly, using cheap perfume, and using olive oil for her hair. Or was it when she went through Sashas clothes and shoes? She had to change everything. But then, she wasnt sure if the girl would appreciate her efforts. Each time she tried to imagine how she would welcome her daughter; fear grips her heart, the fear of rejection. Her daughter would be with her in less than 16 hours, after all the preparations, shes still nursing the fear. Whatever is going to be would surely be, all she got to do is hold on patiently. Her tensed up muscles relaxed as she tried to console herself that her family would be happy once more. Happy? Something was still missing. Joyce is still in her home! The woman isnt back from wherever she went for two days, and she secretly wish shed never come back. Barbra waved the issue of her mind, resuming her thougts about Sasha. My baby...Id be the best mum I can be...I promise. she smiled at the empty room. *********** my beloved PH. City hasnt changed a bit. Sasha noted looking out of the window. Youre just absent for a few weeks, you shouldnt expect a change. Williams replied. Yea... sasha smiled. Williams smiled too, he was enjoying every bit of her conversation. This was the Sasha he never knew, hes yet to know why she became so nice overnight, or was it the thought of coming back home? And that knowing look she and Tunji exchanged from time to time; something is up. Uncle Tee Jay...thats my school... Sasha pointed out. Before I was bundled the Lagos! the words came out swiftly beyond her control. I mean... she looked sober. The look Tunji gave her just made her melt, or was it the guilty look on her fathers face. Tunji let out a sigh, the girl wasnt prepared to let go. He looked away, as she shifted closer to him. Sorry. she whispered. His lips curved into a smile...Sasha using the word sorry? Unbelievable. Just a few metres drive and you would be home again. Tunji took her hands as the driver turned the Car into the street where The Williams reside. Sasha tightened her grip on Tunjis fingers, her heart beat soared. Just a few seconds and shell be facing them? Her family? How would they welcome her? Would her mother snob or hug her? Would Kola run to hug her? What about cassie? Would Kenny be there too? Or has he forgotten her? Would...? The gate waved at them as he opened the gate, she waved back with trembling hands. Her throat was dry, her eyes moist and her heart threatening to jump out of her chest. Tunji squeezed her fingers, giving her an assuring look. Yes, Sasha tried to assure herself, everything would just work out fine. If her family rejects her this time around Kenny would never reject her, and if he does; Kemi and her husband wont, her newly found faith in God wont fail her. Welcome back home Dada mi... Williams cooed as the car came to a halt. Sasha swallowed as she watched her them alight, her buttocks was still glued to the car seat. Madam oya bo sita jare...that car looks comfy, but I tell you your room would be much more comfortable. Tunji teased. Williams laughed but Sasha didnt, instead she pursed her lips into a thin line. Her feet trembled as she made to get down. dont worry Sassy...be strong. she gripped her dress. Sasha! Ekaabooo... Her ears pricked, her head jerked to the direction of the voice. She was too scared to look at who own the voice, the giggling sounds shows it was not just one person. She turned to see her family rushing to meet her, faces lit with smiles. Whos gonna get your first hug? Tunji whispered. Whom do you think deserves it? she whispered back. Make your choice. Tunji laughed. Sasha scanned their faces as they approached her, the joy on their faces was unmeasurable. She made her choice, her Mother. She took a deep breathe and ran to meet her mother half-way. Barbra held unto her tight, they both trembled. Welcome back...I missed you. Barbra sniffed. I love you momma. Sasha whispered, tears stinging her eyelids as she buried her face in her mothers neck. After much shedding of tears, tight hugs and patting of backs, Williams spoke up. The girl is not strong enough to carry all of your weights o, you people should leave my daughter for me. Abi o...all of them are just releasing their 100kg weight on her. Tunji added. the both of you should not start o, youve been with her since o! Jide frowned. Dont mind them jare. Sasha Temi, oya give me another hug jor. Ashley hugged her as tight as she could. What do you mean by Temi? Sasha is not your own o, she belongs to me jor! Cassandra pulled Sasha away. Errm.. Kenny cleared his throat. stop talking gibberish jor! When the original owner of Sasha is here... Sasha couldnt help but laugh, this was truly the home she belongs. Okay... she put her hands up. I belong to everybody, were one family right? So can I run a bath now...I feel so weak after the flight You see what Im saying..e jare before they drain all your energy for me. Barbra led her upstairs. You should dress up o, the guests would be here soon. she called over her head. Guests? Sasha whispered. Yea...your siblings organised a small party for you, and a small surprise package. Barbra winked. Hmm Sasha was trying all she could not to look nervous. im in the wrong room. she muttered as her mother led her into the room. No baby, this is you room, just a little change. Barbra searched her eyes. Hmm she looked around her, feeling the sheets and curtains. You like them? her mother asked. yes...thank you. Sasha whispered. The colours... she paused as she saw her mothers pained expression I meant to say they are beautiful, she quickly concluded. Actually the colours made her feel sick, whats with the pinkish stuff. That large teddy is for me too? she asked walking up the bed. She was trying hard to suppress the laughter coming up her throat. A pink teddy? For whom? Pink of all colours? What ever happened to brown or even green. You like it? Yea...yes...its beautiful...and thanks. Sasha beamed as she hugged the teddy. From the corner of her eyes she saw her mother smile, it made her happy. Lemme clean up right away. She tossed the teddy. okay...Id be out here should incase youd need me to scrub your back. Barbra called after her as she ran to the bath room. The girl chuckled softly. Barbra pulled out two dresses from the wardrobe. One was pink with white flowers, the other was green with silvery designs. She had chosen pink while Cassie chose green, after much arguement they decided to take both and let the girl make her chioce. She brought out a silvery six-inch peep-toes with its purse to match, then a silvery ballet shoes which was Cassies choice. Wow...that dress belong to whom? Sasha asked excited from behind her. Which of them? Barbra probed. That green... Sasha picked it from the bed. Oh my...its so beautiful All yours...What about the pink? when Im not a doll- Sasha almost laughed. Its beautiful too But Ill put on the green. Sasha quickly added. Thanks to Cassie. Barbra smiled. The shoes? Good Lord! Whos to put on these heels? Sashas eyes popped out. Try them on. her mother urged. Sash pulled them on, not minding her towel loosening. I look like an Iroko tree she laughed. She tried a catwalk but came crumbling down on her mother. The both burst into fits of laughter. While guests are waiting, mother and daughter are here having a lovey-dovey session. Cassandra walked into the room, smacking her lips to even her lipstick. Can you imagine? Kenny walked in adjusting his tie. You guys are looking good. Sasha slipped into her dress. I knew shed take the green! Cassandra said excitedly giving Kenny a high five. Mummy...Kenny and Cassie refuse to help me knot my tie...they said I should go and wear bowtie. Kola complained holding his tie. Come lemme tie it for your. Sasha offered. Sassy help me put this pin in my hair. Cassie went on Sassy help me button my jacket... Kenny added. Barbra watched with admiration as Sasha fixed them up. The guests are here already o... Ashley came to drag her sister out. Sasha felt nervous as she walked in company of her siblings to the living room, her shoes were worsening the situation. She was welcomed by different types of voices singing melodiously. Happy birthday to you...happy recovery to you...welcome back Sasha... What todays date? Sasha whispered. Its your B-day sweerie.. Kenny chuckled Surprise number one, wait till you see your cake. Cassandra gave her a peck before walking to the dance floor. Sasha stood surprised, so she was eighteen? Wonderful.
