MY FATE MY DESTINY PART 8

Lagos didn't change, still the same hustling and bustling. We arrived late at night but everywhere was still busy unlike Zaria that is usually very quiet at this late hour.

We would be staying with aunt christy's uncle, he would give her away since her dad is no more. Her mum was already at the gate waiting for our arrival.

 The moment she saw us she ran and hugged her daughter, not to long we were surrounded my her family. They didn't seem like strangers to me because I have heard a lot about them. But I was a stranger to them so aunt christy took me round and introduced me to the entire family.

Plans for the wedding was on full gear. I took time to ensure nothing was left out. I focused on the wedding but my mind wandered sometimes to....

the Badmos family. " How are they doing How is yinka, Has chief come back to Nigeria" I wondered.

One afternoon I decided to visit them. Aunt christy said she would follow me and we went. We got to the house. I could not knock or ring the bell, I was scared. Christy noticed and decided to do it herself.   She rang the bell three times before someone came to answer.

"Hello how may I help you" a teenage voice said. I had already turned backwards because I was not sure who would answer the bell. I turned to face the speaker " please am looking for Chief Badmos resident, am I at the right place". He said " I don't know anyone by that name that stay's on this street".  He told us to wait so he could ask his mum.

He came back with his mum who explained to us that the former tenant finished their own building and transferred there. " Do you have the address please I asked" she said she didn't have the address. We thanked her and left.

Not meeting the Badmos family was a big to me disappointment because I wanted to thank chief and even his wife for their help years back.

The day of the introduction came. A lot was still left unfinished and I was really busy. I rushed to the market to get some things. On coming back I saw a lot of cars packed outside "oh my God am late" I said to myself. I rushed to go inside the gate to prepare myself for the ceremony.

The next thing I know " I was pushed backwards and I fell.

Who was this person that is careless not to have been careful with the gate. I was ready to give the person a piece of my mind. " Didn't you know you ought to be careful with the gate, you almost killed me"

I looked up and it was mr Harry the 1 nose man aka mr Dimples.

Don't think you know what happened next.
