CRAZY SIDE CHICK
#Chapter_7
“Majo!Majo!” Daniel tried to shake Majory body back to consciousness while he screamed,” waiter!Bring some water!”
A small crowd formed around Daniel as he held Majory up in his arms.But before the waiter could bring some water, Majory had bounced back to consciousness.But appeared weak and Daniel had to help her up.He put his arm around her waist and held one of her arms up his shoulders and slowly walked her to his car.
“Please take me to school,” said Majory in an exhausted voice.
“No,” suggested Daniel,”You are weak.I can’t drive you all the way up to the University.That’s too far.You need to rest.My house is the nearest place from here and am taking you there right away.”
“Please..” she whined as she slowly exhaled,in the back passenger seats of his car.
“No Majo, just relax and when you completely gain strength I will drive you to school,” he said as he started the engine and drove to his house.

The telephone rang in Mwewa’s office and he picked it.The director,Mr Binwell Tembo,called him over to his office.So he walked out of the office and left a message to his secretary that if someone came wishing to see him they had to wait for him by the bench outside his office because he was expecting some clients.
“Good afternoon,sir” Mwewa greeted the old man who sat relaxed in a sofa of his office.
“Good afternoon,Mr Mulusa,” Mr Binwell Tembo greeted back in his deep and weak voice.
“How are you feeling sir?” Asked Mwewa.
“I am dying,” reported Mr Binwell Tembo confidently,” please take a seat.”
“What..should I call the doctor?” Mwewa hesitated to take a seat.
“I mean my health is failing me day by day,” so he put it and Mwewa took the seat.
“You will be fine sir,” encouraged Mwewa.
“That was my prayer before now.To be fine for my daughter because am the only one she has apart from her husband of course.But unfortunately, nature has decided that my time to live more is up,”
“I don’t understand sir,” Mwewa wondered.
“Yesterday I had a meeting with my doctor and he informed me that I have another health condition that you must not disclose to my daughter.I don’t want her to get depressed and to ruin her studies,” said Mr Binwell Tembo.
“Sure,sir”
“My doctor said that I have colon cancer stage 4 and I have about 6 months to live,” said Mr Binwell Tembo.
A moment of silence followed as Mwewa became speechless.He didn’t know whether this was a moment to give any words of hope to the ill old man or it was better off ,simply a moment of silence as it happened.
The old man continued,”You know my story,Mr Mulusa.You know I don’t have any other family apart from you and my daughter.Therefore I wish to entrust all my investments to you,my son.Apart from being a responsible son in law,you have shown competence and great commitment and you have surely upgraded our company to a fair level.It is because of your leadership that my companies are still standing strong.So,I have decided that I retire and handle over all my investments to you to run while I wait for my numbered days to live to finish.I want you to simply promise me that you will take the best care of my daughter and that the Tembo legacy shall be passed on successfully to your lineage__my grandchildren. ”
“I..” Mwewa began,” I don’t know what to say.I mean..am so sorry about the sad development.But you must not feel depressed about anything.You are a great man of great honor and a father that I will live to remember and honor for the rest of my life.And I promise to keep your name alive forever,sir.”
“Not to worry my son,we all live to die,” he said with a smile on his grey beareded face,” the most cardinal thing is to live to leave a legacy for the entire generation.”
“Sure sir”
“So,inform the staff that we have a meeting tomorrow after lunch.I have already called my lawyer and everything is under process.”
“Ok sir,”
“Good.So get yourself together, prepare yourself to be the new MD” smiled Mr Binwell Tembo.
“I am more than humbled sir.I really appreciate for recognising and considering me in this great position.”
“You deserve it,” said Mr Binwell Tembo.

As Mwewa made his way back to his office,He found Mwaka arguing with his secretary.Mwaka was trying to enter Mwewa’s office by force while the secretary blocked her way in by telling her to calm down and sit in the bench to wait for her boss.
“I don’t need to get permission from you to enter this office,okay?” Mwaka was saying.Thanks to her Voice for not being loud.
Mwewa approached and asked,” what’s going on here?”
The secretary explained,” I politely asked this madam to wait for you in the bench since you were out of office but she couldn’t believe that you went out.And so she wants to get in minus anybody’s permission.”
Mwewa turned to Mwaka and told her to follow him inside his office to prevent her from creating a scene.
“Why didn’t you call before coming here?” Mwewa asked angrily.
“Am sorry my love but I got robbed of my phone on my way from your house when you chased me this morning,” she said.
“What?!” Mwewa panicked,” what about the video in your phone?”
“It’s still there and am worried.I pray that the robber doesn’t take advantage of that video,” said Mwaka.
Mwewa wandered round the office, capping his mouth.”you know what?You are pathetic!”
π π π
“Why? Because you chased me out of your house and I got robbed in the process?”
“I don’t care!Tell me,what do you want here?” Mwewa shouted.
“Well,” she said soothing her belly with a smile,”this will definitely calm you down…I went for a scan and the results are that you are gonna be a father to twins!”
