“Daniel wants to propose to Joy.”
“Ehh. . .” Bela quickly covers Nancy’s mouth with her palm.
“Be calm na. It’s supposed to be a surprise. You’ll be the one to plan it.”
“I don’t really know how he wants it.”
“We’ll meet with him tomorrow. Please don’t act in a way that will make Joy suspect something.”
“Let’s tell Chioma too. With the way she keeps talking about her dream, she might ruin our plan.”
“No, leave her.” Bella said as they both went back to the Parlour holding a plate of ice-cream Bella had bought on her way back, from cold stone.
She didn’t really buy it.
A man had stopped and agreed to give her a ride home.
She made up her mind to eat the man’s one naira since he was ready to spend. He branched at cold stone and bought her a plate. She would have requested for two but she didn’t want to be see as one of those fake girls living fake life ready to milk any man who comes their way.
” Ice cream, girls.”
“Yeeeeeee!!”
Chioma has already sprawled and started digging into the ice-cream and in no time, they were fighting over the last portion.
“I’m the last born of the house o. You people are supposed to leave it for me.” Chioma pouts as Bella was not ready to take any last born nonsense.
“You’re only the last born in washing of plates, clothes and arranging the house. Come on give me that plate.” Bella drags it from Chioma and finish thw content in the bowl.
Joy and Nancy began to pacify the angry looking Chioma. It was all a facade. What was ice-cream that they should quarrel over.

“How about on Friday?” Daniel replied rubbing his temples.
“Are you scared?” Nancy asked.
“Errm. . . I’m just nervous.” Daniel replies.
“Why should he be scared abi nervous.” Bella said.
“What if she says no?” Daniel was beginning to look really worried. “You know you ladies can be funny and unpredictable. She might say no and I will be devastated.”
“Lover boy, Joy loves you and I know you’ll both make a great family.”
“Thank you, Bella.”
“You’ll not thank me abi?” Nancy said. “I’ll just blow the cover and call Joy now.”
“Ahhh… Sorry. . . Sorry. . . Sorry”
“It’s okay jor. Do you want to kill me with the sorry.” Nancy was now complaining.
“Haba. Women are unpredictable and insatiable. You wanted the sorry, now you’re saying the sorry is too much. Women, you people have problem o.” Daniel said laughing.
“Including Joy.”
“Minus my Joy o. She doesn’t have problem at all.”
