Arthur
Arthur walks into his parents living room.
"Wait Sonny, "said Diana.
"What is it, mom?” said Arthur.
"Your dad can't attend my party this week can you honour it for me?” asked Diana in anticipation.
"Why me? Ask Philip to do it. He's your right hand man." said Arthur thinking why his mother is disturbing his peaceful entering.
"because you're my son and your father will be disappointed" said Diana rather perplexed.
the truth is she knows he yields only to his father command.
"but I'm not your only son mom.” retorted Arthur.
not understanding why he can't have peace anytime he comes home.
"you know how your brother is, he's nothing like us.” said Diana trying to convince him .
he frowns then said "ok I'll reschedule. if that's all can I go in now??” asked rather irritated.
"yes thank you son.” replied Diana
he sighs then walked to his younger brother's room.
"hello little brother.” said Arthur.
"hey bro,” said Adam, “it's been long I saw you .is it because I told you to buy me a car ? “
Arthur couldn't help but laugh at his brother's joke "I can recall what you said I have been busy but I promise to buy you one when next I visit."
Adam lightened up a little after hearing him make a promise ."can I asked you a question?”
he nodded as a sign for him to ask.
"why do everybody hate me?” he asked.
Arthur froze at his brother's question and smiled then gave him a straight answer.
"nobody hates you Adam, it's just that you're twenty and you don't want to study business leaving dad to give Philip your position. mom feels bad about it.
"but you're there. Besides, business is not my field. i want to be a priest, go to the seminary school.that's what I want, big brother. said Adam, giving him a straight answer.
"please make it three weeks." which he agreed and promised to call him daily.
Thea
In Manchester
Jane returned from work knocking. In fact banging the door calling out her friend's name.
"thea.thea," as she continued calling.
"Jane what is it ?" answered Thea, who was looking like she has been beaten to a pulp.
"what happened to you? asked Jane, "you look awful."
"I know. I have a running stomach," said Thea.
Jane laughed "well that's awkward" finding her words amusing as she felt a medical doctor shouldn't have a running stomach .
"this isn't funny" said Thea I have tried taking some drugs but they're not effective... ran into the rest room to vomit.
"nothing I eat goes down" Jane who was amused before knew its serious and stop joking.
"really?? she asked.
"what do we do now? I'll go and buy you some vomit pills okay."
she helped her to the bedroom.
"thank you but no clumsiness.my life depends on it, "said Thea.
she was surprised she called her clumsy but ran out anyway to get the drugs Minutes past and she returned to get her food so that she can take her drugs which she did and after taking the drug Thea slept off.
next morning, Thea woke up and saw Jane sleeping in the kitchen.
"Jane why are you sleeping in the kitchen? she asked.
"oh you're awake "she asked wondering how she got better within a night sleep.
"that's not what I asked" said Thea.
Jane checked the time and screamed.
"omg I'm late see you later."
As she hurried off to work she passed Nina by the way who was surprised to see her running off like that.
"what's she up to? asked Nina.
"she's probably late for work" said thea.
who narrated her last night ordeal to Nina.
"then you owe Jane one."
"yeah said Thea why are you home early surprised to see her on her working hour.
"I know right. there's something we're working on its a secret "said Nina who didn't want to go any further.
"c'mon tell me! let me guess, this secret of yours involves an important person right ?" she asked as she giggles.
Nina couldn't deny it "when you put it like that I have to admit. it does so. please make me look more beautiful! I know that's your specialty," said Nina.
"no I'm a doctor but you're an exception." they smiled at each other as they went to the fitting room to begin.
