Where are you going?” Her mother inquired with concern.
“I have to go shopping, Mother, as I will be traveling to Abuja tomorrow to meet Otunba,” Sandra replied.
“What?! You are not going anywhere, Sandra. Abuja is too far. What if something were to happen to you?” her mother exclaimed worriedly.
“Please relax, Mother. Nothing will happen to me. I will be fine. I must get going now. Goodbye, see you later,” Sandra assured her as she prepared to leave.
“Why is Sandra so stubborn? God, please protect her,” her mother whispered anxiously, her worry evident.
Sandra hailed an Uber to take her to the shopping mall, but unfortunately, the taxi broke down on the way. Frustrated, Sandra asked, “What happened to the car?”
“I’m not sure, ma’am. It seems the car broke down,” the Uber driver responded, stepping out of the vehicle to inspect the issue.
Sandra stepped out of the car, her anger evident. “What is wrong with it?” she demanded to know.
“Do not worry, ma’am. I will fix it soon,” the driver assured her.
“You must comply because I am in a hurry and cannot remain here for an extended period,” Sandra asserts, stepping away from the vehicle and proceeding towards the front. Suddenly, a car approaches from behind and splashes dirty water onto her.
“What?!! Are you blind? Oh dear, my beautiful dress has been ruined by such a foolish act,” Sandra exclaims, growing angry.
The car comes to a halt and reverses, the window rolls down, revealing James, the son of Otunba.
“I am deeply sorry, please forgive me,” James pleads.
“You are an absolute fool! Can’t you see? Are you blind? You have just destroyed my dress, you fool,” Sandra retorts.
“Hey, why the insult? I just apologized to you,” James responds.
“Just be quiet and move this so-called car of yours forward a bit,” Sandra demands, her anger intensifying.
James exits his car and approaches her.
“My Lamborghini, which you refer to as a car, could purchase your entire lineage,” James declares.
“Why are you insulting me and my general?” Sandra exclaimed.
“You started it first, I was trying to apologize to you and yet you continue to insult me,” James retorted.
“You know what, I don’t need your apology. Just get in your useless car and leave, you fool, idiot,” Sandra snapped, her anger rising.
“Oh, now I understand. I think you need to see a doctor before it gets worse. I can see that you’re so crazy and don’t belong where normal people are. Your place is probably at the psychiatric hospital,” James replied, getting into his car and driving off.
“What? He called me crazy. Am I acting like a mad girl? No, he’s just being a fool,” Sandra muttered to herself as she walked back to the Uber driver.
“I’m sorry for the delay, ma’am. Your dress is ruined already, and it’s all the fault of the car,” the Uber driver apologized.
“Just shut up! This is all your fault. Why didn’t you check the car properly before picking me up? Now I can’t even take this dress to the mall. Take me back home, I need to change,” Sandra demanded as she entered the car and the Uber driver drove her back home.
James arrived back home and found his mother waiting for him.
“Mum, what are you doing here? You didn’t tell me you were coming over,” James said in surprise.
“Do I have to inform my son before coming to his house?” his mother replied.
“No, mum, I didn’t mean it that way. Tell me, what brings you here to my house?” James asked.
“James, I haven’t seen you with any woman since your ex left. Tell me what’s the matter,” his mother inquired.
James reassured his mother that everything was fine and that he would find the right girl at the right time. His mother, however, expressed her concerns about his age and the need for him to settle down. Despite James’ attempts to calm her down, his mother continued to worry. James then recounted a frustrating encounter with a girl earlier that day, which left him hoping he wouldn’t meet such a person again. On the other hand, Sandra returned home in a rage after her dress was ruined by someone splashing dirty water on her. Her mother tried to calm her down and advised her to change into a new dress before heading out for her shopping trip. At the mall, Sandra was surprised by the total cost of her purchases and questioned the seller about the amount.
