(PART 3)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ola completed her school through the help of her sugar daddy.
I remember the day she was so broke and needed money to pay her school fees. She came to my house looking so worried and devastated. She said to me,
" Anny, I am so worried on how to get money to pay my school fees, exams is in two weeks time".
Tears dropped down her eyes as she said this, I wished I could help her but I couldn't. I comforted her and wiped the tears off.
" Why don't you meet Dr. Uweke, talk to him, he might help you out since you are his girl ". I told her. This was Ola's final exams and she didn't want to miss it.
The next day, Ola went to Dr. Uweke's office and was told to wait for him since he wasn't around then. Ola sat and waited for him. Around 5.00pm, he returned.
" Good evening, Sir "
I greeted him
" Good evening girl. I heard you waited so long for me. I'm so sorry, I had been in a conference" he said to me. " So what brought you to my office today " he asked her.
" Sir, I have a little challenge. I am unable to pay my school fees and my exams is approaching. I don't want to miss it, can you help me with some money? " Ola knelt down to plead. Dr. Uweke was her only hope. If disappointed, she might not write her finals. He accepted but was on a condition that she will come and see him at Neofis Hotel by 10. 00 pm so she could get the money. Ola had no other option than to accept it. She did the needful, got the money and paid her fees. She wrote her exams and passed with flying colours. She graduated and got a job. Dr. Uweke assisted her in getting the job through his childhood friend who is a manager of a big company in Gambia.
After three years when Ola left her sugar daddy, she met a Lawyer named James. He works in a Law firm. They met at a friend's wedding, became friends and started dating. Within a year, James proposed to Ola. Everything was going smooth and easy until James introduced Ola to his father. Ola felt so uncomfortable and demands for a break up...He was Dr. Uweke, James's father.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That day, James's father called James and had a talk with him. He said to him,
" Son, I know you are of age to choose what you want but I seriously don't like you taking Ola for a wife. I won't accept it ".
"But why daddy? What crime as she committed? I have known Ola for been a good girl. Why don't you accept me marrying her ". The son exploded in anger. He had loved Ola and couldn't do without her.
The father still insisted, " Son, I can't be alive and I allow you bring a slut into this family. I won't permit that... Not in my generation ". He said it rigorously to his son point a finger to his face.
"You can say all you want daddy but I won't leaves Ola. I will marry her... it's my life and not yours" saying this, he left his presence. This provoked him more.
" Try it and I disown you " the father shouted at him.
The next day, Ola met James. She told James everything that went on between her and his father. She asked for a breakup and his forgiveness. James forgives her and promise to marry her no matter the relative she had with his father.
" I promise you Ola, no matter the relationship you had between you and my father, I still love you and I will marry you" he hugged Ola tightly and couldn't let go of her.
" I don't deserve to be your wife James. I deserve a break up. I don't want you again. I keep feeling guilty. I want to start a new life...free from guilt and bad memories ". Ola cried out. He wiped her tears away.
