Chapter 45 B
NIKE : maybe he doesn't know how to tell you his mind.
CALLER : he hardly talks. He keeps to himself a lot.
NIKE : then that's it. He's shy. He doesn't know how to tell you his mind.
CALLER : hmm mm…you think so?
NIKE : yes. So don't take chances o. Make this thing real before another girl will come and snatch him from you. And remember you're a single mother, single rich boys like him hardly come for people like you o. So you're lucky.
CALLER : Mum...
NIKE : yes dear?
CALLER : you know what?
NIKE : what is it?
CALLER : I'm madly in love with him.
NIKE : hmmm....
CALLER : yes mum.
NIKE : then what are you waiting for?
CALLER : Mum, you don't know Kurt o, this guy is so secretive. He doesn't talk to anyone about anything, the only person he's free with is Ladi. He doesn't even sit down to discuss with me.
NIKE : really?
CALLER : yes.
NIKE : eh...notwithstanding, there are ways to handle such people. Don't worry when you get here, I'll teach you.



It’s around 6:45 pm, Da Cassle's rooftop is glittering from a distance, especially in the darkness. Although, it has a rooftop arena, it has a glass roof at the section where the recreation is, close to the swimming pool.

The aesthetic decoration used for the OSAAC's reunion party is very flamboyant, beautiful flowery decorations and glamorous adornments are not spared.

Though, the event had been set for 6pm, guests did not arrive till around 6:30pm. They all came in different luxurious cars. With each of the guest looking extraordinarily beautiful, no specific colour was set for the event.

The elevator that goes directly to the roof top had been set aside and as the guests drop from their cars, an escort had been assigned to lead each guest into the elevator.

As the guests arrive on the rooftop, awed by the flamboyant atmosphere, they are interviewed and recorded, each old student with their invited guest(s). Some of the guests came with two other invited guests while others came with their spouses alone.

Susan is with her husband Stan, as usual while Bukola came looking exceptionally attractive has ever, with a beautiful black Dolce and Gabanna gown. It’s a short fitted dress bringing out her beautiful shape, adorned with a silver tape on the neck and on the front slit. A beautiful silver laced 5.5inches heeled shoe that matches perfectly with her dress.

Bukola came with Jordin, an Architect, who is based in the United Kingdom. Jordin is a half caste, who's got a very attractive physique. Being a half caste, most ladies would do anything to be with someone like him. He's dressed in a Giovanni Marquez, which fits perfectly, making him look extremely gorgeous.

Bibi, the event planner kept going up and down to ensure things are in place. She had dressed so beautifully with her backless red versace long fitted dress and a 4.5inch high-heeled shoe, making it easy for her to move around while smelling really nice. She attended the event alone, without any ties. She is looking very beautiful and attractive.

All the old students were present at the event except for few who were lost some years ago.

One of the most expensive Nigerian comedians, with one of America's choicest were the hosts for the event waiting to kick off as soon as the event planner gave them the go-ahead.

Ken came for the event with one of his numerous girlfriends who is also very good looking. She is dressed in such a very scandalous dress that most of the ladies present could not hide the hatred in their eyes. They both work in majestically.

The whole guests present at the event were about a hundred, making it not so difficult for guests to see and locate each other.

Bibi could not stop looking at the entrance for the person she was expecting to show up. For so many days she has been wondering who their sponsor is, neither has she been able to get Kola out of her mind. She kept looking around, wishing Kola could come soon. She would raise up her face whenever the elevator was about to open and would look at the guest. The disappointment on her face whenever she noticed it’s not Kola could be seen clearly.

Immediately Bukola entered with Jordin, she located Susan and Stan while she was being interviewed at the entrance and walks up to them afterwards...)



BUKOLA :  Suz...(giving her a hug)...
SUSAN : wow...Babe, you're looking so good...I just love your gown.
BUKOLA : I love yours too dear...(Sees Stan)...hi Stanley...
STAN : Bukola Haastrup....(Hugging her)....
BUKOLA : good to see you Stan...(Remembers Jordin is right behind her)...oh here...(Pulling him closer)...here's Jordin....Jordin, Susan and Stanley....
JORDIN : hi...I've heard so much about you two...(Extending a handshake to Susan)
SUSAN : oh really...(Shaking him)
JORDIN : yes. It’s nice to meet you...(Turns to Stan)....you too…
STAN : same here...
SUSAN : ....Guys, we'll be right back, you guys should talk about football or something okay...(Pulls Bukola away)...come on let's go look for Bibi.
BUKOLA : excuse us...(Leaving with Susan)....Babe, what is it with you?
SUSAN : (pulling Bukola to a corner)...you didn't tell me he's half!
BUKOLA : is that so necessary?
SUSAN : of course it is!...hey, you're not letting this guy go, you must have an half caste Baby. Tell me, is he saying anything about marriage?
BUKOLA : Suz!...we haven't gotten to that stage...
SUSAN : well you have to get to that stage...
BUKOLA : (laughing)...what is it with you?
SUSAN : come on girl, half caste babies are so cute...
BUKOLA : Suz, (cutting her off)...let's just go and look for Bibi...
SUSAN : hmm...

(They locate Bibi at a corner talking to one of the caterers...)
SUSAN : Bibi...
BIBI : hey Suz...Bukola...you're here...(They hug each other)
SUSAN : a good job you've done here girl...
BUKOLA : yes, this place is so beautiful...it must have cost a lot!
BIBI : (still stealing a glance at the entrance)...I tell you.
SUSAN : wow...even the Osaac reunion that was done in threes wasn't this flamboyant....considering the fact that their money should be more than ours.
BIBI : yes dear.
SUSAN : so where's the guy?...(Looking around)...Bukola told me he left our school in JS3?
BIBI : yes, so I was told, so even I don't know him....but I don't think he's here yet.
BUKOLA : you still don't know him yet? So how would you know him when he gets here?
BIBI : well...because his PA is not here.
SUSAN : oh...okay. Tell us when he's here.
BIBI : alright, I will.
SUSAN : hey have you met Bukola's fiancé?
BUKOLA : (surprised)...fiancé?
BIBI : no.... where is he?
SUSAN : (ignoring Bukola)....he's at our table, you should come and meet him dear, he's an half caste!
BIBI : (looks at Bukola)...really! Wow....you're so lucky!
SUSAN : you know she's always being very lucky with men....
BIBI : (nodding) you can say that again....
SUSAN : alright let's go...Bibi, come over to our seat when you're done here.
BIBI : okay dear, I won't miss it.
BUKOLA : don't mind her o, he's not my fiancé.
SUSAN : let's go....(Pulling Bukola along)…I have said yes for you already Bukola.
BUKOLA : even without him asking?
SUSAN : don’t worry, he will ask soon and once he does, don’t think, just say yes.
BUKOLA : (laughing)…you’re so not serious Suz….

(The MCs started the program with the opening prayer by one of them and introduction of the Excos and their special guests. Being comedians they could not stop adding humour as spice.

Some minutes later, Bibi, who could not stop looking at the door was called upon to give her report. She did, telling all the OSAAC members a summary of how much was spent even though it was not their money. They all could not but wonder who it was that decided to spend such a huge amount on their reunion party. She informed the guests that the introduction of their sponsor will come up when he's around and left the podium.

While Bibi was making her speech, Kola walks in, in his black Armani suit. He's not wearing a tie but a sky blue, fitted Marks and Spencer's shirt with silver cufflins. Looking really gorgeous with his gold plated rolex wristwatch.

Bibi had just sat down when suddenly she felt a tap from Kola, who had entered without her observation....)

KOLA : hi Miss...(Whispering in her ears)
BIBI : (turns around to look at who it is).....oh, you're here already...(Standing up)
KOLA : how's everything going?
BIBI : well, as you can see...splendid...(Looking around)...is your Boss here?
KOLA : nope. But he'll be in a few minutes.
BIBI : let me know when he's here so you can introduce him.
KOLA : he should be here in about fifteen to twenty.
BIBI : alright...do you want to sit down?
KOLA : not now, later...(looking around)...so where can he sit?
BIBI : he wants a special seat?
KOLA : no, not necessarily special.
BIBI : is he alone or coming with a friend?
KOLA : coming with two.
BIBI : okay....and I guess you'll want to seat with him then?
KOLA : definitely.
BIBI : okay. I'll get him a seat and two of the ushers will take him there, is that alright?
KOLA : that will be fine....and oh...you're looking beautiful.
BIBI : thanks....(Blushing as she goes in search of a seat)

(Andrew walks into the party, impressed by the whole setting. He quietly thanked God he did not miss it. He's looking as good as he thinks, wearing a black muscle top underneath an Armani Blasser and an afro with an overgrown mustache.

He came alone and immediately locates Joe, who came with his girlfriend, walking over to his table...)

ANDREW : Joe...
JOE : (standing up)..hey Man....(Gives him a handshake and a hug)...you're here. Thought you won't make it.
ANDREW : couldn't miss it man...it’s so impressive.
JOE : yeah, the best ever, I tell you.
ANDREW : and we didn't contribute to it, did we?
JOE : nope...hey, this is Catherine...
CATHY : hi
ANDREW : (shaking her)...nice to meet you.
CATHY : same here...
JOE : come sit with us Drew...
ANDREW : yeah...(Taking a seat)....everyone is here right?
JOE : almost...why not go around and say hi?
ANDREW : em....no, may be later.
JOE : okay...

(Meanwhile, as Bukola and Susan were going back to their seats, they saw Anayo who had come with a friend seated on the table with Tega and his fiancée, they sat there with them catching up...)

ANAYO : Bukola you're always looking so good...what's the secret?
BUKOLA : (blushing)...really I don't know...
SUSAN : she's just blessed, I tell you...so Anayo, why did you come with your colleague and not your girlfriend or something?
ANAYO : (laughing)...my girlfriend is on a business trip, so she asked her brother to come with me...
SUSAN : hmmm....so you don't come with another girl, right? That's good...
ANAYO : nah....she trusts me completely.
SUSAN : I see...
TEGA : Anayo has always been a ladies' man...
BUKOLA : really?
ANAYO : that's a lie...

(As they were still gisting, their attention was drawn to the podium by the MCs who gave the mic to Kola....)




KOLA : hi, I'm Kola Olafioye, I'm here to introduce the sponsor of this program, my Boss, my friend, a colleague and a mentor at the same time. He was a student of Atlantic College before traveling to the US for some time now. Studied Business Administration, Management Research and Analysis at the Harvard Business school, and Criminology at the York University before going for his Masters, at the prestigious Harvard University, a shrewd and conscientious man, he's the CEO of Kurt and Kurts conglomerate....

(While Kola was talking, everyone noticed an helicopter landing at the far end of the rooftop. They started murmuring one thing or the other to each other looking at the helicopter.

As it descended, a couple came out with a little child of about five years walking up to the podium....)

KOLA : ...... Abikz Group of Companies, Stalex James Pharmaceuticals, Hakan Industries, Barcone Beverages, Silane Hotels and a host of others.....please welcome, with his beautiful family, Mr. Kurt James ...
