Chapter 64b

(They all leave the DPO's office....)
TADE : Kurt....
KURT : sir....
TADE : (looks at the lady behind him)...Bukola, please I'm really sorry about everything.
BUKOLA : it’s okay sir...
TADE : I guess there's nothing else we have to do here.
KURT : how do you think this whole thing will end?
TADE : sincerely, I don't know...but one thing is sure. She'll be given a jail term.
KURT : (shaking his head)...this is something we absolutely did not put in our plan.
TADE : hmm...

(They all leave the station going into their cars....)

KURT : (holding Bukola by her waist)...Babe let's have dinner...
BUKOLA : how can you be talking of dinner with all this chaos...(Looking at the time)…
KURT : so we shouldn’t eat because those people are in jail?
BUKOLA : no, I didn’t say we shouldn’t eat, I mean having dinner…
KURT : (cuts in)…what’s the food people eat in the evening called?
BUKOLA : (chuckles)…you’re just playing smart Kurt…
KURT : hmm mm....and I'll take you back to Stan's place....or get you a room next to mine afterwards.
BUKOLA : but Jide, Ken has been arrested, I think I can go back to my house now. It’s safe.
KURT : no I won’t allow that. I’m responsible for you now and won’t allow you stay there alone till there's a security man available.
BUKOLA : (she accepts reluctantly)...okay.
KURT : so, which one do you want?
BUKOLA : (smiling)....I'll let you know. Let's go.




After having dinner at the Da Cassle's restaurant, Kurt gets Bukola a room in the hotel to stay till he'll be able to get her a gate keeper...)

BUKOLA : (entering into the room)...I should call Suz to tell her I won't be coming over...
KURT : alright...do you like the room or you want another one?
BUKOLA : of course it’s okay...(Dropping her bag on the seat)...wow...I should just go and freshen up now...
KURT : wait...(Pulling her back)....don't go yet....
BUKOLA : okay...
KURT : come...sit here...(Sitting her on the couch, he brings out a little box from his pocket and kneels before her)...
BUKOLA : (surprised)...what are you doing?...(Seeing the ring, she opens her mouth wide unable to close it)...oh my God...Jide...
KURT : (opening the little box)....ever since I saw you at the reunion, I'd wished for the opportunity to do this...(Looking at her in the eyes)...Bukola Haastrup, this whole journey of love started the very first day I saw you. You had come to school with your Mum, you looked skinny and beautiful. You didn't discriminate against me like the others did and from then on we became friends. I was fond of you. You gave me my first phone remember, that was when I knew that our bond will never break even if we end up going to different universities....and today, you are here with me. I've waited for this all my life and I'm the happiest man being with you. Yes, I'm happy but this joy I fill in my heart, won't be complete if you're not completely mine...please make me the happiest man alive by being my wife...
BUKOLA : yes I will!....I'll be your wife!...(she hugs him tightly)
KURT : thank you...(Still holding her)...
BUKOLA : you don't have to thank me...you're the only man I've dreamt of spending the rest of my life with. This is a dream come true for me....
KURT : (smiling happily)....I love you like crazy...
BUKOLA : (laughing)....I love you more, Jide Akande.
KURT : yes Baby! It’s so good to hear you calling that name fully...That's more like it...
BUKOLA : (looks at the ring)....wow! It’s beautiful....it’s a platinum ring with a diamond stone! Jide, this should be expensive...
KURT : nothing is too expensive for you to have Babe...
BUKOLA : ...thanks...(Gives him a peck)
KURT : you should start thinking of the wedding.
BUKOLA : (shocked)....so soon?
KURT : yes. What are we waiting for?
BUKOLA : but we just got engaged...
KURT : just like we just started dating, isn't it....?
BUKOLA : hmmm....(Smiling)
KURT : just call Bibi and let her start doing the arrangement...
BUKOLA : I love you Kurt James...
KURT : I love you Bukola Haastrup....

(She suddenly becomes serious...)
BUKOLA : Jide...
KURT : yes Baby?
BUKOLA : there are some things I want to ask you.
KURT : ask me anything and I'll answer you.
BUKOLA : how did you know it was Ken that kidnapped me? I mean, you were so sure he was the one. How did you know?
KURT : we got him followed. It was thanks to that trail we were able to save you on time. They followed Ken to that warehouse that same night.
BUKOLA : you mean he came there?
KURT : yes he did. That's why Kola and Stan came there early the following day, and were able to walk in before you were raped. I was busy making a report.
BUKOLA : hmm...(smiles)...sweetheart...
KURT : hmm?
BUKOLA : why don't you want to tell me your plans?
KURT : my plans?...it’s simple, I'll get married to you and take you away from...
BUKOLA : (cuts in)...stop it joor...I mean your plans with Andrew's Dad and all that.
KURT : because it’s between me, Stan and Kola.
BUKOLA : Kola...what's Kola's concern in all these? Stan's sister died, you were framed, all understandable, but what's Kola's reason?
KURT : Baby, Kola is more involved than you think.
BUKOLA : how? I thought you only employed him.
KURT : hell no. He has his reasons for doing this.
BUKOLA : and you don't want to tell me?
KURT : I'll tell you what we planned and how far we've gone...
BUKOLA : okay...
KURT : this is what we did....




Kurt was still asleep on his bed early the next morning when he was awakened by a message alert on his phone...)

KURT : ooh...(Grumbling)... who is that this morning...(Picking up his phone to see what the message is about, he reads it)...what!...(he call makes a quick call)...when does it land?
RECEIVER : 5pm.
KURT : okay...(Hangs up)...how do I arrange my day now?..(Thinking of what to do then he dials Bukola' number)...Baby...
RECEIVER : sweetheart...
KURT : I had the most amazing dream last night. I dreamt I proposed to you and you said yes.
RECEIVER : hmm....I see...(Laughing)
KURT : and I gave you a beautiful ring...I woke up happy you know...
RECEIVER : hmm mm...maybe you should go back and continue that dream, so we can get married too, that way it can be faster than imagined.
KURT : oh, does that mean we won't have to do it in real life again? We'll just start living together?
RECEIVER : yes, in the dream...
KURT : huh?
RECEIVER : (laughing at him)...you better wake up naughty!...I'm already at work and you're still sleeping, lazy!
KURT : you left for work without seeing me first? You couldn’t even come and give me a good morning kiss before going so that I can have a wonderful day…
BUKOLA : Jide, your days have been splendid even before you and I came together….
KURT : no it hasn’t, trust me. And it won’t till we get married…
BUKOLA : hmm…
KURT : I mean, it’s not fair. Considering the fact that I'm just your next door neighbor...
RECEIVER : I know darling, and that's because I have an eight o clock appointment this morning. If I have to come to your room first, you'll sure delay me.
KURT : hmm....okay...you're right....well, you know I'm my own Boss, so I can afford to dream till twelve...
RECEIVER : I see...
KURT : so how's my Baby doing?
RECEIVER : she's fine. Missing you...
KURT : I love the sound of that...I'll pick you up for lunch.
RECEIVER : alright...
KURT : I love you.
RECEIVER : I love you more...ciao!
KURT : ciao!...(Hangs up and calls Kola)...Hey...
RECEIVER : sup man?
KURT : we should meet...it’s time we end Andy Silva's case.
RECEIVER : okay. Where?
KURT : I don't know yet. Let me tell Stan, we stick to wherever he wants, so I'll let you in on it. But first I have to check on Ladi.
RECEIVER : alright.
(Kurt hangs up and calls Stan, they fix a meeting at Kurt's room for later in the day...)
