MY EX BOYFRIEND
(part 17)
precious father is finally at home, all thanks to David he made it happen.
David also follow them to their house before he decide to go back home.
where have you been? his father asked him immediately he entered the living room.
we are waiting for you so that we can have dinner together.
I went out to see precious.
alright so how is her father doing?, he asked he was surprised to hear that from his father.
his fine Dad, and he is already at home.
just then his grandmother came downstairs.
David were have you been all this while?
grandma I went out to see precious father.
so has he been discharge?
yes he has been been discharged.
I see I’m hoping that he can recover fast so that they can attend my birthday party.
yes grandma I hope so, just put him in your prayers. he continues walking.
David do you have a spare time I would like to speak with you, his father said.
yes dad, I just hope this talk won’t end up in fighting him.
okay then let’s go inside the study room to talk.
he turned back and walk straight to study room while his father follow him.
lock the door I don’t want your Aunty to come inside, he said which made him confused.
so son how is everything from your end?
he rose one of his eyebrows as he couldn’t understand what his father is saying.
I’m sorry I mean the wedding proposal, how are you preparing about it, your grandma told me that you will be proposing to your girlfriend on her birthday party, do you need any help?.
he said which made David to be shocked, since when did my father started to ask about my well being or what I’m doing, because he never believe In me.
I can manage dad, but what happened? why all of a sudden you got interested and wanted to help me? didn’t you reject precious as my girlfriend?.
I’m sorry son, I know I have judge her but I have learned that she have a good heart and again I’m getting old I don’t want us to continue fighting, when you get married to her I want you to be the happiest man on Earth, he said.
David couldn’t understand but his dad was being so emotional and he never saw him like that.
your grandmother made me to realize that I haven’t been a good father to you ever since your mother left us, I know that it’s not your fault but I made you suffer for it, I want to make it up to you son, if you will let me.
son please forgive me, because I have wrong you in many ways.
David was looking at his father he spoke with sincerity in his heart.
dad is okay, let’s just look at the bright side,if you have not treated me like that I won’t be strong, IAM competitive though you don’t believe me and aunty rose, and I believe myself that I can make the company grow, and do you know why I love precious so much because she believe in me.
I’m sorry son, I’m wrong to have judge what you can do in life. I am your father and I should be guilding you on how to do things but I failed.
I let the anger that I have for your mother control my emotion, I hope you can forgive me son his father was now wiping his tears he couldn’t control his tears.
David didn’t know what he should be doing, should I go and hug him, but I haven’t hug him since my life, but he quickly hug him as he couldn’t withstand his father’s tears
they hug each other for a couple of time, dad please stop crying, don’t think about the past, let us think of what tomorrow might bring for us, I know that you feel bad, but what is more important is we can understand each other.
thank you son, you don’t know how much you made me happy, I know that you have been through alot, I will be with you, and once you marry precious, I will personally train you as the chairman of the company.
A couple of knock from outside interrupted the father and son conversation.
Nelson it was the voice of aunty Rose.
open this door or I will break it, she shouted from outside.
David went to open it for her.
what is this? what are you telling your son Nelson? why are you speaking to him? his aunty ask one after the other.
David was wondering what she was saying.
“aunty…”
stop don’t call my name, I will speak to you when I feel like.
what did you just say, his aunty said full of believe in her voice.
I don’t know how to tell you this rose, but this should be obvious, no matter what you do, you cannot change the fact that my son is the heir of William’s company, so better accept It, I regrets the time I listened to you, he said which made David dumbfounded.
he now understand that,it was as if his auntie is the one that manipulate his father.
I don’t know what this your son did to you or say to you? and you believe him.
what if after you hand over the company and he run away with all the wealth, just the way her mother did,. you know nothing good will ever come from that poor woman.
your son is so u.s.el.ess and he can never run the company as long as I am alive, my children will be the one to run the company and there’s nothing you or your son will do about it.
Aunt Rose you lied, before my grandfather died he already made me the heir to his company, so there’s nothing you can do about it, and I thought we are family, why the hatred.
we are not family, let me made it straight to you, I hate you and also hated your mother so much, that you wretched poor mother I thank God she is not here again. she said full of anger.
okay thank you for let me know how much you hate me, but always remember one thing I must be the one to rule that company and if that’s not okay with you, you can as well go to h.e.l.l, I don’t care about you, he said and walk away.
