Once again, my job took all my time. I want to specialize in surgery and that has been making me busy.
When I become a surgeon, I might not have much time for myself but It's worth it. Sha...I will need someone in my life that won't be too busy. That's the only way I can balance things.
Hours later and at last, I closed for the day. Just when I walked out of the hospital, my phone rang. I glanced at the caller ID.
Idiot? Oh! Idiot is Prince.
I swiped my finger across my phone screen to accept the call. "Hello! Am I speaking to Idiot? He called me," I said with my cheeks puffed as I tried to suppress my laughter.
"Weird Angel, how you doing?"
"So you saved my contact like that?" I exclaimed.
"But you just called me Idiot!" he retorted.
I chuckled.
"How is work?" he asked.
"It was great. I just closed for the day right now!"
"I know you're a doctor but what do you specialize in?"
"Surgery!"
"What? You?"
"No oo! My twin sister!" I hissed with sarcasm dripping of my voice.
He fell silent and then said, "You just rendered me speechless".
"That's nice!" I smiled and walked to the side of the road.
"So! You specialize in surgery?"
"Yes!"
"Wow! I'm proud of you. That's wonderful!" he cheered.
I smirked. "Thanks! I'm just doing my residency program. My ultimate dream is to be a surgeon".
"Angel, if you need any help in achieving that dream, you can come to me. You have my full support," he said in a firm voice that uplifted my spirit.
I chuckled and said, "Thanks!"
There was a brief silence before he added, "Actually I called to ask if you would be busy today!"
"Why?"
"I wanted you to meet my annoying, crazy family!"
"Oh!"
Am I busy? Kinda! But can I cancel my schedule? Yes! I need some drama today. I'll go with him.
"Okay! I will like to meet them!"
"Where are you now?"
I gave him the address of the hospital. He told me he would be coming and the call ended. I headed back to the hospital and relaxed at the reception room.
An hour later, he arrived and I hopped into his expensive, black sleek car.
Exactly fifty minutes later, guess the drama I met.
"Prince, that woman will not enter this house," his mother raged.
"But she is already inside the house," Prince replied with an unconcerned look.
"Then turn around and kick her out of my house!" she roared.
"But she is his girlfriend!" his grandmother's thin voice echoed.
"So? How does that concern us. He has a fiance! That's what matters!" his eighteen-year old sister snorted and eyed me.
"Prince, take her out of this house. Why must you bring insult upon our family? Don't you have a fiance?" his father bellowed.
Soon, the whole family were talking at the same time. All were just yelling at me.
Barbarians!
"Where did you even pick this thing from?" his sister snarled and eyed me again. "Amarachi is far beautiful that she can ever be".
Ouch! That one enter! I'm not really affected but I will make her pay.
"This girl does not have class, my son. She can never be a suitable wife for you. I know what I'm saying," his mother said. She glared at me and strode to Prince. She rubbed his back and pulled him away from me. "She is just after your money".
His sister was quick to yell, "Yes! I know her type. All they care about his money!"
"Abeg! Stop describing yourself. We didn't ask for it? A fowl can always identify its fellow fowl," I said with a leveled voice and smirked. "Don't say you know my type, say you know your type. Be clear!"
She opened her mouth but no words can out.
"Barbara, go to your room. When elders are talking, don't add your mouth," her granny said, narrowing her eyes at her.
She ignored the old woman and hissed, "Mom, Prince just went to bring a shameless woman into this house. Warn him oo. If this woman enters this house, she will destroy our family's reputation".
There was a knock at the door and a young man strolled in. He was tall and slender. He looked more like the Prince's mother. I could tell her was their son.
"What's up, family?" he exclaimed and made his way to Prince. "How far? Did you buy me the phone I asked for?"
Prince sent an icy glare at him. "No!"
"Boo! You're lame!" His eyes darted to mine and it widened. "Wow! Who is this daughter of Eve? My eyes have seen beauty today". He licked his lips and hopped to my side.
Prince gripped his shoulder, squeezed it and pulled him away, creating a good diatance between us. "She is my girlfriend. Back off!" Prince groaned.
"Ah! How come? What about Amarachi?"
Prince ignored him and turned to his parents who were fuming.
"This is the time you walk past them. Be a daredevil!" I whispered to Prince.
"They look so angry!"
"Which makes it more interesting and it will send the message across to your parents that you aren't interested in Amarachi," I added.
He nodded, slipped his hand into mine and moved towards his parents. As we walked, like in slow motion his mother bent down, picked her strong leather heel and ran towards us.
"I will beat sense into that woman!" she declared.
My eyes widened and I let go of Prince's hand and ran outside. I thought I was free but she kept chasing me till I ran out of the compound to the road.
I placed my hands on my knees as I gasped to catch my breathe. Prince ran to me. "Are you okay? Did she hurt you?"
I just stared at him with my eyes as wide as a saucerpan. "Would she have really hurt me?"
"Um..." he sighed. "Yes!"
"Ah!"
"She's....um...strange....sometimes!"
I placed my hands on my waist. "Why are you living with your parents?"
"They said they wanted to live their last moments with a complete family and I built that house!"
"Wow! You can easily be emotionally blackmailed. I'll use your weakness against you," I said.
A scowl appeared on his face. "I wasn't emotionally blackmailed. I just understood my parents' view".
"Anyways, if you want to successfully get rid of Amarachi, you will need to leave your parents and rent a place. It will drive in the point that you are a grown man and you want to be independent".
He nodded. "I'll think about it"
"Okay!"
"Well...." he chuckled. "Since you were harshly chased out of my house. Can I treat you to a lunch or dinner? Wait...um..what's the time?"
He glanced at his wristwatch. "6:30pm! So that will be dinner".
I nodded. "Yes!"
"Let's go!" he led me to his car and I got in.
Today's Drama wasn't that bad. It was funny, weird and interesting. I feel this is just the beginning.
