SHALEWA THE BAD GIRL

Episode 4
Collins told his gateman Okafor to open the gate for them to come in.

Five minutes later the two people Okafor said were looking for his boss came to the living room and Collins recognized them to be staffs of the bank where he had collected loan from and had used his two houses and all his cars as a collateral.

Collins Adewale didn’t need a soothsayer to tell him why the people were there but he was patiently waiting for them to drop the bombshell.

“Good Afternoon Mr Adewale” Said one of the bank staff

“Afternoon! To what do i own this visit?” He asked pretending not to know why they came

“Sir we were send here by Diamond bank management who told us to tell you that they are going to take over your properties since you failed to pay back the loan you promised to pay” Said by the same guy who greeted Collins

“I know, I promised to pay you the loan but like you all know, my company caught fire and I lost all my assets except my two houses and cars. Please am begging you guys to give me more grace to payback the loan” Collins said already close to tears

“Sir we have already given you more than enough grace, Isn’t three months enough grace?” Asked that same guy

“The grace is enough but I still need more grace because if you take the houses and the cars away from me, I will be left with nothing” Said Collins close to tears

“We understand what you are going through and we also feel your pains but in this situation, our hands are tight” Said the other guy.

“And sir we will like to take our leave since we have already delivered the message that brought us here” Said the first guy as he signal the second for them to leave the living room.

After the two guys that came had left, Cynthia turned to her husband with teary eyes

“Honey what are we going to do now” Asked Cynthia

“If I tell you that I know what we are going to do then am the biggest liar on planet earth” He said dejectedly

“God! Why did you allow these to happen to us when we have been nothing but faithful to you?” Asked Cynthia as she cried out in pain

“Honey please don’t question God because he is an unquestionable God. We don’t know why everything happened but who knows maybe one of us might be the one who was suppose to die but God allowed the company to caught fire instead” said Collins

“You are right Honey” Replied his wife

“Honey please wipe your tears and always remember that as long as there is life, there is also hope. God who gave all these wealth before will surely give us another one” Said Collins

“I hope so honey and honey are we still keeping this away from the kids?” Asked Cynthia

“No we can’t anymore. I think we have to tell them what’s on ground” Collins’ replied quickly

“When are we going to tell them?” Asked Cynthia

“When they come back from school, but I can’t help but imagine how our kids will feel” Said Collins

“I just hope they take the news lightly” Said Cynthia

“I hope that too” Said Collins as he made his way to leave the living room.

Four hours later Shalewa and Jimi came back from school and Jimi being a good observer could tell that everything was not okay with his parents so he decided to ask them what the problem was but they told him to go and change his uniform then have his lunch before they tell him what the problem is. Jimi said he will like to hear what the problem is before he have his lunch but his parents insisted on him having his lunch before they tell him what the problem is.

When Jimi and Shalewa came to the living room after they have had their lunch, their mum told them to sit, then their dad start to narrate everything that has been happening to them for the past five months. After he was through with his narration, Shalewa said something which made the rest of the family to gasp in disbelief….. TBC…..
