Episode 60
Clara’s side of the story continues from the
previous episode
I was so happy making up with Val, so happy to
be in his arms. I had this insatiable urge of
making love with him over and over and yes he
never disappointed me. He gave it to me the way
I wanted, leaving my entire body burning hot with
desire and love. But unfortunately my mother’s
unexpected phone call nearly spoilt my mood,
everything.
‘’yes disobey your mother this one night for me’’
Val pleaded, dropping a soft kiss on my lips. I
trembled as I felt the hotness.
‘’what if she follows her threat and barges in
here?’’ I asked curiously.
‘’do you think she can go that far?’’ he breathed
with concern
‘’hmmmm I don’t know but her disdain for you
could make her but don’t worry I will give her a
call and talk to her’’ I suddenly promised, dialing
mum’s number without hesitation. It was
something I never planned doing but had to it if I
was to spend the night with him.
————————————————————-
‘’why are you calling me?’’ mum harshly asked as
soon as she picked my call.
‘’dear mum I have always given you the ultimate
respect and admiration. Please don’t spoil
tonight for me. Allow me to stay this one night
with val. I’m an adult. I know what is good for
me. By tomorrow I will be back in the house, you
can deal with me, you can kill me, you can do
anything to me but please allow me this one
night to be with the man I love. Val is a good
person. I beg of you mother’’ I desperately
begged while she kept quiet for a while.
‘’so you are begging me to approve of this
insanity?’’ she asked.
‘’yes mum I beg of you. It’s for my happiness;
it’s for my well being. This is what I want. Don’t
tell me you don’t understand how I feel right
now, come on mum’’ I pleaded desperately.
‘’be home by 6am’’ she muttered and abruptly
ended the call while I heaved a sigh of relief and
smiled, holding Val tightly.
‘’let’s make love one more time’’ I demanded with
all my heart.
——————————————-
Early the next day Val took me home and waited
to meet my mum. It really was a pensive
moment as we waited for her in the living room.
It equally was a good opportunity of making her
accept Val as part of the family. Seriously I
really didn’t know why she disdained him so
much. Val was a federal worker, young with good
prospects and future, with every opportunity to
build his own name and fortune, not like others
who rolled with an inherited family name.
‘’are you okay’’ I softly asked him with a
comforting smile.
‘’yes I’m fine, I just pray she doesn’t cut off my
head’’ he breathed, smiling back while I playfully
eyed him.
————————–
Mum soon walked into the sitting room with a
frown on her face.
‘’Mr. Val, the agent sent to protect my daughter’s
life but instead became the thief and stole her
heart. Now you equally have taught her how to
lie to everyone just to be with you’’ she muttered
coldly, drawing out the deepest gasp from me.
‘’dear mum, I’m very much in love with your
daughter and I promise to make her happy for
the rest of her life. I will work day and night to
provide all her needs. She will never lack a
single thing’’ Val suddenly stood up to say,
stunning me with his boldness which kind of
impressed my mum. I noticed her face change.
‘’and how do you really plan in maintaining her
lifestyle?. Can you take her to Dubai for
shopping, to Paris for holidays and to London for
childbirth huh?’’ she asked him
‘Mum!’’ I screamed
‘’mum all that matters is love. Money can’t
happiness neither can it buy love. All I have is
the love of Clara your daughter and that same
love is equally what I’m offering her’’ Val calmly
replied, leaving her speechless with his matured
response.
‘’oh please that’s what you all say but at the end
you see..’’ she tried to argue but I quickly cut her
short by grabbing her hand.
‘’mum this is another opportunity to make things
right for me. Charles is dead and gone for real
so please stop this attitude you are trying to
display. You and I know that Val is a good guy.
He has a good future and a good heart. I want to
be with him and no one else’’ I pushed on while
she breathed deeply and shrugged in resignation.
‘’I hope you will stay for lunch?, the governor will
like to talk with you, plus Vivian’s fiancée will
equally be coming over. We are all going to have
one big lunch’’ she softly said to Val, leaving a
huge smile on my face.
‘’thank you mum’’ I breathed with great
happiness.

Val’s side of the story continues
Facing off with Clara’s mum wasn’t as tough as
I thought it would be. In fact Clara easily
convinced her to accept me, kind of making
everything very easy for me. I had to stay for
lunch where I had a very cool chat with the
governor who asked lots of prying questions. The
old man was so inquisitive that I even feared he
was going to ask if I had slept with his daughter.
Luckily he never asked such a question.
‘’I’m happy for you guys, yes it reminds me of my
youthful days when I had to beat every obstacle
to marry Clara’s mother but nevertheless losing
Charles cost me a lot. His father was a great
political ally and now I have lost him plus many
of his influential friends. I don’t think I will win
my second re-election bid or any election in this
state again’’ the old man muttered with a faint
smile while Clara nervously pinched me.
Lunch with the governor was a huge success. I
was officially welcomed into the family and yes I
felt very great. I equally proposed to Clara that
very evening in the presence of Vivian. My life
was back on the right track.
————————————————
However just like Jennifer said, I was transferred
to Abuja that same week, and yes I accepted the
transfer with great happiness because I had
feared I was going to be transferred to a remote
northern state. Clara on her own part finally
opened her good heart and made Jennifer her
friend till this day.
Oh I forgot and our wedding which held three
months after, was an event that left me totally
stunned. To my surprise the governor and his
wife sponsored the wedding to the last kobo,
they even paid for our honeymoon to Paris. The
only big thing I spent my money on was the
traditional marriage rites. Vivian equally married
a day after our white wedding and left for India
the next day with her husband.
Five months later Clara got me a very handsome
baby boy, the pride of our love, turning me to a
very proud father.
Yes such a happy ending for everyone apart from
Clara’s father who lost his second term election
bid to a candidate from a smaller party and till
today the old man is still answering lots of
corruption charges with the EFCC.
Perhaps in 2019 he could be elected once again
as Imo state governor.
