“Dad you are the best father I can ever think of, I wish you are here but your words has giving me faith and hope that we are in this together so dad your angel of light is never gonna give up…. Failure is never an option”
With that she stood up from the floor and went and take a long cool bath.

What do you mean by that? Her mom quried

Where do you know in this area, or you wanna get lost like your father?
Sandra burst into uncontrollable laughter and Treasure joined her too making fun of Delight….. Delight who already knew the kind of crazy people she’s dealing with calmly said.
Don’t worry, I know how to find my way around..goodbye and started walking towards the master door, but her mother quickly stopped her.
Delight you ain’t going nowhere today because I can’t afford to loose you dear.
What do you care, I will find my way home.
Treasure at this time rushed to the door and lock it.
I know you are very stubborn and won’t want to change your mind about going to church.
You thought I don’t care about you but I really do care because you are the only thing I’ve got in this world.. Please listen to me, stay back today because this city is very large and you are new here. I don’t know anywhere here… I promise you that by next Sunday you will go to church OK.
No mum I know your tricks very much you want to tie me down here in this house I disagree with you!
I know I have been a horrible mum, but trust me darling, I will take you around and show you places so that you will know your ways around OK darling… She said smiling
No mum I don’t like that idea
Treasure was a kinda surprised and angry at her daughters refusal and stubbornness
And why don’t you like the idea?
Well honestly mum, I can’t walk around with you because I don’t want people to see us together.
Sandra burst into laughter on hearing that, she clapped her hands and walk towards where mother and daughter was standing….. At this point, Treasure was filled with rage and felt like smashing Delight so hard or ripping off her tongue.
So you mean that I don’t reach the standard or the calibers of people you walk around with?!! She said very bitter and hurtful.
Well mum…. But Sandra cuts in.
Oh please spare the little girl please, we both knows where she is driving at, I love her boldness and courage. Wow, I wish I was born into her generation when you can boldly say what ever you want to say and stand up to defend what you believe in and go scout free.
I wish my daughter is as strong and as brave as your daughter, she wouldn’t have been influenced too easily…. My dear I respect your decision and wish my youngest daughter will become friends with you so that she will learn certain things from you and not follow the path I and her elder sister has chosen.
Wait a minute Sandra, lemme figure out something here…. Are you trying to support my daughter by encouraging her not to move around with me in public?
I didn’t say that T bae your daughter deed… I only encouraged her determination and bravery… She said that and walk back to her seat.
Treasure looked at her and said…. You now has supporter isn’t it… Delight was about to reply but Treasure in fury dragged her into her room and locked the door.
Delight tell me what’s going on between you and my friend?
What do you mean mum?
Oh shut it and don’t try to play dumb with me, tell me what’s going on between you two before I change my mind. At this point her voice indicates, anger, fear, jealousy, protection etc.
Mum nothing is going on between us, or are you scared of something, maybe you can go and ask your friend too if you don’t trust me.
I trust you, never mind.
Please get me a driver mum
You are right, I will get you a driver and maid too.
No thanks I don’t need any maid, I am good by myself and can take proper care of my self.
If you say so, I will put up a vacancy at the gate tomorrow.
OK mum, please I will select the person I want as a driver
She looked at her for some time and nodded her head…. If that will make you happy.
Immediately Treasure left her room, Delight exclaimed happily yes! It worked out just fine I will have to inform my father so that he will give me the exact description of the person he wants as my driver. Yes! Yes!! Yesss!!!

EPISODE 36
Written by Chidinma Ihemenandu ✍️
Two days later, a driver was employed for Delight, after keen observations Delight confirmed that he was the exact description of the man he wanted.
Two maids was also employed to take care of her and the house but Delight bluntly told her mother that she doesn’t need a help that she can take good care of herself… After some arguments and quarrels Treasure gave up, she sacked one of them and leave the one that will be cleaning the house.
Delight was very happy about the driver and in less than no time they both became friends.
She was very careful of the maid her mother brought, although she seems to be a good person and innocent but she doesn’t want to give her chance for the fear that she might be upto something or her mother brought her for a purpose so for that reason she doesn’t want to get close to her. She’s not ready to put all her efforts and plans and that of her father at risk so she have to tread very carefully.
The name of Delight’s driver is Johnson, very tall and dark in complexion, he is in his late 40s although he is a jovial personality but pains and anger is written all over his face. He is a friend of Mr Jude and suffered from his wife almost the same thing Jude is passing through with Treasure.
His own case was that his wife duped him to the core and took all he has, to the extent of sleeping with men in his own house.
The most annoying part is that his woman got pregnant for another man, when she finally put to bed Johnson threatened to take his child and divorce the woman but one way or the other the woman finds out and told him that he is not the owner of the child, Johnson doubted it and they went to different hospital for DNA test, through the DNA test that was carried out, it was truthfully confirmed that he was not the father of the child, he nearly strangled the woman to death if not for the help of the doctors and some patients there, as if that was not enough the woman arrested him for attempting murder and he was thrown to prison.
He was almost there for two months, it was when Jude was brought to the same station that they met and Jude released him from prison after telling him his sad and painful story
Jude in turn told him every thing that’s going on with his own marriage.
Jude gave him a huge amount and told him to start his life over because it is not the end of the world for him.
Johnson vowed never to marry again or have any form of love, feelings or affection for any woman in the world ever again but vowed to pull down and destroy the life of any woman that comes her way more especially the likes of Treasure.
That’s why he has chosen to be part of Treasures down fall.
***********@@@************
When Delight finds out everything that happened to Johnson by her father, she felt great pity on him and wondered why women are so cruel and heart hearted, why they are human destroyer without ever thinking about tomorrow, their husbands or there children generally.
The driver always drives her around and sometimes they even follows her mother around without her knowledge
Sometimes she will visit barr. Franky Frank and discuss about how successful their plans are going and before she leaves barr. Franky Frank will give her words of advice and encouragement that will keep her going.
**********@@*****@@@****
AT the age of 17, Delight is about to write jamb and apply to study law but her mother vehemently refused to sponsor her if she chose to study law
And to make the situation even more annoying and harder, she told her that she will school from home and won’t go away to leave in school or else she should forget about ever going to school in her life because she will neither train or sponsor her education if she wants to study law nor train her if she includes or try to school in another state apart from Lagos.

So painful….. Now Delight is between the devil and the deep blue sea…. What do you think she will do in this tough situation??
