Tanure forever epilogue

💞TANURE, FOREVER💞

EPILOGUE

NEARLY TEN YEARS LATER……..

AUTHOR PAMELA

Richærd came to a halt in front of a
school,he couldn’t remember when last he
picked up his kids from school,that was
Tanure or the driver’s responsibility but
today she was busy and the driver wasn’t
feeling too well so he had to pick them up.
He got down from his car and saw
them approaching….all three of them.
Louis ran up to him excitedly,
Richærd caught him and carried him on his
arms.
“How was school today?”Richærd
asked.
“It was fine”Five years old Catherine
replied with a broad smile.
“Why are you picking us up today?
Where’s mom?”Max asked as they got into
the car.
“She’s busy, and I was excited to see
my princess”Richærd said smiling at
Catherine who giggled.
“What if mom…..”
“Max,you ask too many
questions,fasten your seatbelt”Richærd
snapped.

**************
Richærd hurried around the
kitchen,he knew if he make one single
mistake while preparing this
spaghetti,Max was complain and tease
him for days.
He sighed,the main reason why he
had picked up the kids from school and
now cooking was because he didn’t want
Tanure to touch anything when she gets
back.She had other things to do later that
night.
He smirked at the thought.She had
been so busy this week, because she just
opened a new branch of her restaurant so
she had promised him tonight and the rest
of the weekend.
Now,he wanted to get everything
done before she arrives.Soon,the
spaghetti was ready,he served the children
dinner.
“How is it.”He asked, curiously.
“You tried but it’s not as good as
mom’s”Max replied and continued eating.
Richærd sighed.This son of his was an
ardent complainer.
“Dad,it tastes really good”Catherine
said giving him a thumbs up.
Richærd smiled, and this daughter of his
was extremely adorable, she was a carbon
copy of his Orente.
He started eating and at the same
time feeding Louis.

****************
Richærd stood at the lobby staring at
the pictures frames of his wedding
pictures hung neatly on the wall,they had
gotten married soon after they made up
but it still feels like yesterday.He stared at
a picture of him and Mr Ojaide.
He must admit,it was damn hærd to
earn that man’s trust.He barely even
smiled at the wedding, but he eventually
forgave him after Max’s delivery.
After Max was born, Tanure had
studied a part time business course and
that time,they didn’t go a day without
quarrelling,he always got paranoid seeing
her having other men’s contact and when
she finally rounded up her course, himself
and Lanre had celebrated it hotly, while
she thought it they were celebrating her
graduation,the men were celebrating her
freedom from all the university boys.Lanre
was married now and had a kid.
Richærd had realized years back
that if Christine couldn’t break them apart,
nothing would and nothing could.As
Tanure had said,they were inseparable.
“Daddy”Catherine called snapping
him out of his thoughts.
“Louis learnt a new song at school
today and I think he wants to sing it for
you”
Richærd picked up his two years old
son from the floor and sat on a couch
making him sit on his laps.Catherine sat
beside him.
“Come on Louis,sing for Daddy”He
urged.
“I’ve been yorking on the yail yord
all the yight and day
I’ve been yorking on the yail yord
to piass the time yaway”
Max sat on the floor laughing.
“Max, will you stop laughing.”Richærd
ordered.
“Sorry Dad. I couldn’t help it,is that
the remix or what?”
“Look who’s talking, when you were
at his age,you called food..yood….
water…yoter…blow….biow”Richærd teased
laughing, Catherine laughed too.
Max gasped.”No, I didn’t”He argued.
Tanure sauntered in.
“Welcome mummy”They greeted
running up to her.
Richærd leaned back against the couch
and when her eyes finally met his,he was
giving her the ‘get ready for tonight look’
Tanure laughed.”I have to make
dinner.”
He stood up.”I’ve taken care of
everything, now,you just have to take a
shower and eat….eat everything o”He drawled.
Tanure swat his arm.”I have to put the
kids to bed”
“No…no…no, I’m doing that too”
“Oh, thanks hubby”
“You’ll be welcomed after tonight”

***************
Christ! Tanure was really trying, he
had managed to make Louis fall asleep,he
was now reading the third story book for
Catherine and she’s yet to fall asleep.
He finished reading the book and
stared at her eyes still brightly opened,he
angrily stood up and started going
through all the books on the shelf looking
for the one that would be so boring.
“Daddy,is Grandma still coming
tomorrow?”
Richærd frozed,he had totally forgotten
about that,damn it!He really had to enjoy
this night, because his mother and Tanure
had developed an habit of talking and
talking about what he regarded as
irrelevant things,they would pratically talk
till midnight, sometimes both falling
asleep on the couch, and then it would be
hærd to wake Tanure up and perform his
right.
His mother was spending the entire
weekend…. God! Weekend that he had
mapped out already.Anyway,he wasn’t
sure if Tanure would sleep tonight.
“Yes”He replied.
After reading one more boring story
for Catherine,she fell asleep.
He walked into Max’s room and found
him playing Videogames.
“Enough Max, now go to bed”He said
pulling out his duvet.
Max reluctantly dropped it and got into
the bed.
“Goodnight,Dad”He said.
Richærd smiled and tucked the duvet
around him,he turned off the lights and
walked away.
He came by the living room and
found Tanure almost through with her
meal.
“This is really delicious”She
commented.
“I learnt from the best”He replied
sitting beside her.
“You have to hurry up with that”He
said letting his hand slide into her gown to
touch her unclad thighs.”We have some
unfinished business to do upstairs”
Tanure smiled.”Will that business ever
get finished?”
He replied by sliding a hand into her
p-nties and stroking a tiny nub which is
not as tiny as before.
She mo-ned as her womb clenched and
her thighs went slick.
“Will it?”He growled running his
tongue over her neck knowing how much
that turns her on.
“No”
She had always thought couples get used
to this and gradually become less excited
but Richærd has proved her wrong,he
keeps making her lose control with
different styles….. different positions.
They had barely made it through the
door of their bedroom, still fully
clothed,they were enjoying each other up
against the wall with a scorching
raw-edged passion.
Just when he was about to take off
Tanure’s clothes.The door opened, they
quickly disengaged.
“Dad, I can’t seem to fall asleep,
can I sleep here tonight?”Max announced.
Richærd’s jaw dropped.”No!”He retorted
quickly.
Tanure laughed.
This was the most difficult part of
parenting.Can’t children for once just……
“Hurry up and make him fall asleep
nah, aren’t you in charge tonight?”Tanure
whispered.
Richærd grinned.”Come with me,Max, I’ll
make you fall asleep”With that he walked
away with his son.

*****************
“Max, please sleep, I’m begging
you”Richærd pleaded, frustratedly.He had
been in this room for almost thirty
minutes now,this boy was seriously
wasting his time.
“If you promise to remain in your
room and fall asleep, I’ll do anything you
want tomorrow”
Max smiled mischievously.”Anything?”
“Yes”
“You would really do anything?”He
asked, again.
Richærd gulped,this boy was unpredictable
but right now,he had something to do so
his ‘creepy anything’ might be worth it.
“Have I ever let you down, buddy?”
Max shook his head.”I would fall asleep
right now”He assured closing his eyes.
“Good boy!”

******
Richærd walked into their bedroom
and locked the door.
He found Tanure on the phone with
someone.
“Kayo just came in, would you like to
speak to him?”She asked and turned to
face him.
“Maami”She mouthed.
He frowned.”I don’t want to talk to
her”He said loudly so that Bisi would hear.
He knew his mother had said
something funny about him because Tanure
laughed till there was tears on her eyes.
He stomped his foot on the floor
angrily, waiting for her to hang up but that
wasn’t happening anytime soon.Aha!Talk
that they will still talk till midnight
tomorrow, what are they still talking about
now,all the way from the village, Maami
was spoiling this night from him.
He angrily pulled the phone from
Tanure’s ear.
“Maami,Kilode?Aha! it’s late nah,
weren’t you advised to always sleep
early?”
“Kayo, did I call you? give the….”
“Baba is calling you,go and sleep,see
you tomorrow,mon’ife e”
Bisi laughed and he hung up.
“You’re really something”Tanure
teased.
“Baby, this your endless gist with
Maami has to end” He warned.
She laughed.”You won’t
understand…Well for now, where did we
stop?”She asked, excitedly.
Richærd smiled…this was going to
be a long night.
Everyday,he still falls more and more
in love with her.They were riding this road
to forevermore.This was an eternal bond
and no one can break it.Anywhere Tanure
leads,he’d follow.It was simply,
Tanure, forever.
