My Father My Worst Enemy

Episode 2

Two weeks later my mum was
given a
befitting burial,i nearly cried my
eyes
out,Bisola on her own part
refused to be
consoled,i could remember Dad
telling her
Dad:your mother is dead,those
that want to
die would die too,no amount of
tears you
cry would bring her back…i
weakly walked
up to Bisola,held her up and said
to her
Me:mum is gone,all we can do
now is to
make her proud of us by fishing
out her
killers
Bisola:and how do u intend to do
that
Me:stop crying and follow me to
my
room…she wipe her tears and
sluggishly
followed me to my room,all this
while i
refused to notice Yomi
presence.we entered
my room,i made her lied down till
she slept
off.
The next day i wokeup,went to
greet daddy
only to realize he had left for
work with
yomi,i walked back to my room
where Bisola
was still fast asleep,i sat down
thinking.one
wonderful thing about my family
is that the
boys were very handsome so
was Bisola
and my late mum beautiful,Bisol
a’s call
brought me back to sanity
Bisola:chidi
Me:yes dear
Bisola:i saw mum in my
dream,she kept
mentioning we should go to her
room,under her bed…i was dumb
founded,i
had same dream too
Me:what,how come we had same
dream
Bisola:mum is trying to give us a
message
Me:yea but bisi can u imagin dad
and yomi
had gone to work,no respect for
mum’s
death
Bisola:you know dad believes in
the saying
that the dead are dead so the
living
continue life
Me:no bisi,i suspect dad’s hand
in mummy’s
death
Bisola:say no such thing,why
would u even
think of such…i told her a little
mum told me
before her death and the room
of a
thing,Bisola was
dumbfounded,we stood up
and made to my mum’s room
and as usual
the door was locked,we tried all
we could to
open it but the door refused
opening.we
were disappointed as we went
back to my
room to await dad’s return
Bisola:what business is dad really
into
Me:i swear i have no idea,the last
time i
asked mum she said the only
knows dad is a
businessman but the business
she knows
not
Bisola:and she never bothered to
ask her
husband the kind of business he
is into?
Me:i asked her that and she said
that each
time she ask dad,dad rebuked
her
Bisola:then i suspect a foul play
Me:from today bisola,we are
strengers in
this house,mention nothing to
dad nor yomi
Bisola:yomi ke,i cant remember
the last time
we talked
Me:better,aint you hungry
Bisola:no am not…i the evening
dad came
back with yomi and bisola
attacked him
with questions
Bisola:dad who died in this
house few days
ago
Dad:what sort of nonsense
question is
that,u cant even greet
Bisola:dad just answer me
Dad:my wife,your mother of
course
Me:i don’t think so because if she
was you
would have respected that fact
and give her
the mourning she deserves
Bisola:exactly where i was
driving to and
this fool who calls him self my
senior
brother went to their stupid
work with his
stone hearted father
Dad: (yomi made to beat bisola
but dad held
him back) i can see you both had
lost your
manners to your mothers grave
but
remember the dead is dead and
gone
Bisola:and should be mourned
daddy but
your heartless soul won..a slap
from daddy
landed on her face
Dad:you idiot,you now insult me
in my own
house?
Me:daddy you should be
ashamed of
yourself,your wife di (another
slap caught
my face)
Dad:leave my presence you two
fools
Me:dad we would leave
Bisola:yes we would leave but be
rest
assured that since you refused to
fish out
mum’s killers,i would do that
myself
Dad:yes do that miss inspector
general of
police,now get out of my front
Me:and you yomi,you might be
older than us
by age but i see you are purely
without
brains(he made to slap me but i
held his
hand)dont try this again in your
life time
okay,with or without your father
present…he withdraw his hand
from mine
and looked at me meanly
Yomi:and we shall see…i left him
and his
dad,took bisola and left.that guy

fool,if he
