CHAPTER 38a
Stan, Bukola and Susan decided to put things in place. Bukola's Mum had taken her siblings out, giving them the time and space to do their thing, though without knowing.
Stan had gotten four video recorders and had placed them in strategic places in the sitting room, ensuring they will get the best capture possible, before the guests arrive. The recorders were hidden in such a way that no one would suspect anything.
They set everything in place and then sat down, waiting for their guests to arrive…)
SUSAN : Bukola, I think you need to put on something more tempting…
STAN : yeah that’s true…you don’t look sexy enough in that…(pointing at the trouser and top she’s putting on)…
BUKOLA : haha…(looking at herself)…but I’m still going to change when we’re leaving…
STAN : leaving? You really think you will still be going anywhere with them after all these?
BUKOLA : em…(confused)…
STAN : look, except things don’t happen the way you planned, I don’t think you will still be in the mood to go anywhere. I mean let’s see, who will you go out with afterwards? Ken or Andrew?...
BUKOLA : hmm…(thinking about what he just said)…
STAN : all the same, either you’re going out or not, you should change into something that will make it difficult for both of them to take their eyes off you…
BUKOLA : okay. I’ll change into something more tempting as you said…(she stands up, picks up her phone and leaves for her room)…
SUSAN : I’ll come with you…(following Bukola)…I’ll be back dear…
STAN : alright.
(They both enter into Bukola’s room to get her something sexier to wear…)
BUKOLA : wearing something sexier, when your fiancé is here, how many people am I seducing?
SUSAN : huh…Stan?...(laughing)…oh come on Bukola, Stanley has seen more than enough half naked women than you can imagine, so don’t bother thinking he will be seduced by you…
BUKOLA : (confused)…how do you mean?...(still picking out and checking some of her dresses)
SUSAN : he loves to go to the beach when he was in L.A and you know how terrible their bikini can be over there…so forget it. If he could be seduced, he would have been way too promiscuous when he was in the US. Moreover, Stan cannot be turned on by a women he doesn’t love, I tell you…
BUKOLA : okay, I’m happy to hear that…(she finds one)…I think this should be okay…(bringing out a short, one that would reach her knees)…
SUSAN : what? (looking at the shorts she is holding)…hell no…this is nothing. It will only show your legs. We need something more revealing girl…(checking Bukola’s stuffs herself)….
BUKOLA : haha…(wondering what more)….
SUSAN : yes!...i found something really nice….(bring out a bum short for her)…..this will do….
BUKOLA : what? Have you forgotten that I will have to go outside and bring him in? I wont wear that outside…
SUSAN : of course you will…(giving it to her)…come on girl, don’t you want these guys spitting everything out?
BUKOLA : yes.... but….
SUSAN : (cuts in)….no buts! Wear it…(going back to check her things again)...let me see, I should get you another top, a sleeveless one that….yes, I found one….now wear that too…
BUKOLA : Suz!...
SUSAN : don’t Suz me…wear it…I said you need to look sexy…
(Susan managed to make Bukola wear those things and just as she finished wearing it, her phone rings. It was Ken. He told her he is at her gate. Immediately they got to know that Ken was at the gate, Stan put on the recorders quickly as Bukola went outside to get him. Before Bukola got back in, Stan and Susan had hidden themselves in another room.
When Ken saw Bukola approaching, he was stunned. He could not take his eyes off her as he gets out of the car with his eyes eating her up. Ken had also come to Bukola's house looking really nice, with the intention of impressing her....)
BUKOLA : hi...
KEN : wow….you look, stunning…
BUKOLA : huh…(she chuckles “more like saying you haven’t seen anything yet”)…but I’m not dressed just yet, so let’s leave the compliments for another time…
KEN : oh…okay...are we still having lunch?
BUKOLA : yeah. Come let's go in...(Leading him into the house)…I’ll have to get dressed you know…
KEN : okay...I’ll gladly wait for you to do that…(locking the car)
(They started walking towards the house as Bukola takes her time, in order to give Stan enough time to do his thing...)
BUKOLA : em...Ken?
KEN : yes?
BUKOLA : remember what you promised to tell me?
KEN : em...yes...(Smiling while still looking at her body)....you don't seem to forget stuffs, do you?
BUKOLA : how can I? (Getting to the door)...If I'm at the verge of choosing between you two, then I have to choose right, don’t you think?...(Opening the door)
KEN : hmm...I see...
BUKOLA : please come in...
KEN : thanks...(Entering into the house
BUKOLA : (noticing she's on time)... but you'll have to tell me whatever you want to tell me here before we leave....I'll be back....
KEN : hmm...(he takes his seat)
(Bukola enters inside her room to call Andrew, asking him when he will be getting to her place.
She later goes back to Ken...)
BUKOLA : hmm... I forgot to tell you you're looking nice...
KEN : (blushing)...thanks…so you like the way I look?
BUKOLA : of course, you almost got me tripping for you, you know….because I love my men looking really nice…
KEN : really?
BUKOLA : yeah…so, you said you were going to tell me something about Andrew...you know, that's the only reason why I allowed you to come into my house...even Andrew has never been here before, you can ask him that...
KEN : really...(feeling very happy to hear that)
BUKOLA : yes....though I've decided to give him a chance. I believe he's not that bad. He only needs a good person to make him a better man.
KEN : Bukola, all that Andrew is making you believe is a facade...
BUKOLA : hmm...now let's see Ken, you really think I'll believe you after all that Andrew said about you?
KEN : Bukola....(Sitting up)...look, I don't advice you get any close to Andrew, trust me.
BUKOLA : why?
KEN : because...that guy is more dangerous than you can ever think.
BUKOLA : (laughs)...Andrew? Dangerous? Oh please Ken...don't be ridiculous...
KEN : it’s the truth Bukola...okay look, I shouldn't be telling you this, but I'll tell you, just because I don't want you to end up like...like... Carol...
BUKOLA : (cuts in)...end up like Carol? How? Why?
KEN : because....Never mind...just stay away from Andrew...
BUKOLA : oh please Ken... I”ve always known you have nothing to say. Andrew was right about you. He said you’ll tell a girl anything just to get her into your bed…
KEN : what? That’s a lie….
BUKOLA : I think I made a mistake trusting you… you can’t change, he told me how you sleep with two girls at a time, he told me you can never love because you don’t believe in love and you can never be serious about any girl in your life!
KEN : what! Andrew said all that about me?
BUKOLA : of course….you can’t believe that he would tell on you?
KEN : (surprised)...he couldn't have told you all that...
BUKOLA : Well he did…because he really loves me, unlike you who wants to just play with me…
KEN : no Bukola, its all lies, don’t listen to Andrew, he only said that to lure you into his bed….
BUKOLA : oh please Ken…in fact I don’t think this date will be possible, I think you should leave….
KEN : what?...(knowing he would not want to loose her)... Okay, I’ll tell you what you want to hear about Andrew, then you’ll know that he’s the one that’s very harmful to you…
BUKOLA : yeah right…
KEN : just please let it be between you and i…
BUKOLA : oh please Ken say whatever you want to say….(paying him no attention)...
KEN : look, it was Andrew that killed Carol.
BUKOLA : that's a lie...I know you're just saying that because you want me to stay away from Andrew...
KEN : that's the truth!
BUKOLA : but I heard it was Jide nau...
KEN : no o, It’s not Jide. It was Andrew. He raped her and stabbed her. We...I mean he only framed Jide.
BUKOLA : are you sure of what you're saying?
KEN : of course...if only you know how many other girls Andrew has raped...
BUKOLA : really?
KEN : of course...
(Then Bukola's phone rings and she picks it up...)
BUKOLA : hello?.....okay...I'll be right there....(Hangs up)...please Ken, I'll be right back....
KEN : okay…
(Bukola leaves while Ken stayed waiting for her to return, praying that she finally decides to stay away from Andrew.
Meanwhile, Bukola got outside and saw Andrew waiting for her inside the car. The moment Andrew saw her coming out of the house, he steps out of the car…)
ANDREW : holy moses! Babe, you look sexy!...(walking up to her)
BUKOLA : Andrew…hi…
ANDREW : (going to hug her)…wow, I swear I could sell my whole inheritance just to have this…(looking at her seducutively)
BUKOLA : lets just go in…(leading the way)
(Andrew could not stop looking at Bukola's body while fantasizing, walking behind her. Few minutes later Bukola enters into the house with Andrew coming in behind her. Immediately Ken saw Andrew, he was surprised. Andrew was surprised to see him at Bukola's house too...)
ANDREW : haha...(Entering into the sitting room, while wondering what he is doing there)
KEN : Andrew?...(Looking at Bukola)...
BUKOLA : Ken, you're surprised to see him, right?
KEN : em....
ANDREW : guy what are you doing here...
BUKOLA : now Andrew, you know I don't like side-talks, I want you to repeat all what you said about Ken in front of him...
ANDREW : what exactly?
BUKOLA : that he goes to strip clubs, sleeps with two girls at a time and all that...come on, say it again...all those stuffs you said that day...
ANDREW : well...yeah....Ken is the bad boy nau....(Turns to Ken)...or didn't you introduce me to all the strip clubs that I know...
KEN : (nodding)...hmm....
BUKOLA : (turns to Ken)....so its true Ken?
KEN : oh well...(Turns to Andrew)...it’s also true that you killed Carol, isn't it?
ANDREW : (shocked to his wits, he couldn't believe his ears)...what!
KEN : yeah...is it not true?
ANDREW : are you crazy? How can you bring up such a thing?
KEN : why can't I? Did you not tell her I'm a strip freak too?
ANDREW : damn you Ken....
BUKOLA : Andrew, so it’s true! You were the one that killed Carol?
ANDREW : Babe...(Moving close to her)...it was a mistake…I didn't mean to. She kinda stabbed me...
BUKOLA : why did she stab you?
KEN : because he raped her!
ANDREW : (turns to Ken)...shut up damn you!
BUKOLA : so she stabbed you because you raped her Andrew and then you killed her?
ANDREW : I really didn't mean to.
BUKOLA : and then, you guys framed Jide!
ANDREW : that was his idea!...(Pointing at Ken)...he was the one that hit Jide on the head with the plank. He was the one that said we should pull him into the room and drop the keys there...he masterminded everything...
KEN : how dare you say that Andrew? Was I the one that asked you to rape Carol? Was I the one that asked you to stab her?
ANDREW : but you were the one that thought me how to get out uncaught, wasn't you? Were you not the one that called Jide…
BUKOLA : (turns to Ken)....I can't believe this... Why did you frame that innocent boy? What did he do to you?
ANDREW : because he hated the way you kept giving Jide so much attention!
BUKOLA : (shocked)...what!.....oh my God...
KEN : (coming close to Bukola)...Babe, don't listen to him…we both didn’t like him then… (trying to hold her)...I...
BUKOLA : (cuts in)...get your filthy hands off me!...(pushes him away)...both of you leave my house right this moment!
KEN : Bukola...
BUKOLA : (cuts in)...I said leave!
ANDREW : she said you should leave!
BUKOLA : I said both of you!
ANDREW : (turns to Ken)....you, you'll see!...(he leaves Bukola's house)
KEN : Bukola please I'm sorry, I didn't mean...
BUKOLA : (cuts in)...leave my house!!!
(Ken walks out of the house quietly. After Ken had left, Bukola breaks down crying as Stan and Susan comes out of the room where they had hidden themselves....)
SUSAN : (walking towards Bukola)....Bukola!...I can't believe this!
STAN : I knew those guys are a bunch of no good!
BUKOLA : (with tears in her eyes)...Susan...I can't believe this...
SUSAN : why are you crying? You should be happy that we have the evidences we need already...(Going to hold her)
BUKOLA : Susan...Jide is in that place all because of me....
SUSAN : I heard that...but hey, it’s not your fault...
BUKOLA : of course it was. If only I'd not gotten so close to him, may be all these wouldn't have happened....
STAN : it’s okay Bukola....let it go. Thank God you're the same person that's now helping him out.
BUKOLA : Stan, what can we do now?
STAN : let's get all the cameras down.
(Thinking of had just conspired at Bukola’s house, Andrew went home, afraid of what could happen to him. He immediately goes to his mother....)
ANDREW : (bursting into his mother room)...Mum!
SILVIA : Andrew! How dare you enter my room without knocking! Haven't I told you to always knock before you enter into my room?
ANDREW : I'm sorry Mum....(he starts pacing)
SILVIA : so what is it?
ANDREW : Mum, Ken messed up...he told Bukola about Carol...
SILVIA : what!...(Coming towards Andrew)...what do you mean he told who?
ANDREW : he told Bukola everything that happened that day.
SILVIA : Jesus! but why? Did you two have a fight or what?
ANDREW : don't mind him Mum. He's just a loud mouth.
SILVIA : oh my God....(Thinks for a while)...that means you have to leave for the US immediately...
ANDREW : what?...oh no Mum...
SILVIA : what if the 'Kubola" or what did you just call it, reports you? Or what if Ken himself goes to report you to his father?...do you want to go to jail?
ANDREW : no Mum...
SILVIA : then you have to leave immediately.
ANDREW : fine, I'll leave Mum. But I won't stay with Uncle Jack this time.
SILVIA : where will you stay then?
ANDREW : can't I just stay at our own house?
SILVIA : stay wherever you like but just leave this place. I'll tell your Dad. Let me see your passport.
ANDREW : I'll have to apply for another visa. My student visa has expired.
SILVIA : alright. Just prepare yourself, you'll leave soon. And don't tell anyone.
ANDREW : okay Mum....(Leaving for his room)
(After he left Silvia calls her husband to tell him what Andrew just said...)
RECEIVER : what! I hope this boy's foolishness will not spoil my new political ambition?
SILVIA : that's why I've told him to get ready to go back to the US. Let's just send him there quickly before anything crazy happens.
RECEIVER : that's good.
SILVIA : but his visa has expired.
RECEIVER : no problem. I'll work something out.
SILVIA : please do it fast.
RECEIVER : alright.
