While they reminisced about their pasts, they got to the gate of Mount City University. To their chagrin, they saw the fleet of luxury cars that queued up, and wished to gain access into the university.At the University Gate“What is going on?” Sir Stewart asked aloud. He experienced such long queue three years ago when his son gained admission into the university. Then, the city higher ups were scrambling for the limited slots available. Although, his son was able to gain admission because he was intelligent, but that would not guarantee that another money bag would not buy his slot, so he was on his toes. Now, his Personal Assistant got off the security van and walked to the gate to make inquiries about the long queue. He walked past over one hundred and fifty cars before he got to the gate and chatted the busy security men up.“Hello, officers. Good day” he greeted. Then, the busy Head of the Securities, Mr. Steve Tucker, who was exhausted, gave him a perfunctory response.“Hello,
“Yes? I'm all ears."“Kindly let Lady Mitchell know that she would be contributing positively to the society if she accepts to foster the pregnant girl.”“That is impressive. I will do my best to convince her.”“Thank you. I am counting on you.”“You are welcome.”Before he ended the call, Lady Stewart was beside herself with happiness, and her eyes were moist with tears of joy. Then, she moved closer to him and gave him a prolonged kiss. Thanks to the tinted glass windows, which were helpful. Nevertheless, he reciprocated as he stroked her back and reassured her, “Everything will be fine, my sweet pie.”She withdrew her lips and smiled broadly before she concurred, “I know. I am lucky to be your wife.”“I am the luckiest. Let’s leave at once before the media begin to broadcast lies.”“You are right, hubby.”Subsequently, he turned without wasting more time and drove off. Then, his security turned too and followed suit, but it was late, the media had gotten a good story for the day.(
Nevertheless, the visitors, who believed that it was their rights to be in the campus by that hour of the day, were cranky.“What is the meaning of this? Why should you deny us of our freedom of movement?” One of the visitors blurted out. Then, the security guard clarified, “Sir, we have closed to visitors for today. Besides, this is a campus and not a zoo or an amusement park, where you can visit for a sightseeing.”Now, the visitor was intimidated. He just realized for the first time how silly his action was.“So, what about a student who fell pregnant? Mtcheew," he muttered and hissed, and walked back to his car. Now, the motorists had a challenge – how to leave the campus at once. To worsen their matters, it was as though, the press was also waiting for the Vice Chancellor’s order to swing into action. Now, the visitors were embarrassed when their cars and registration numbers were projected as the cars of idle citizens, who set out to disrupt the day’s lectures for the students.
At The Clinic“I used the pregnancy kit for the test.”“Why did you think of the pregnancy test? Were you sick?”“Yes doctor.”“That is brilliant of you. Would you wish to abort it?”Now, Ruby felt insulted and provoked, which bled into her expression, and she replied curtly.“No.”The doctor was impressed, and perceived that she had hurt her and apologized.“I apologize for my rude question.”Now, Ruby accepted her apologies with a smile on her face.“Think nothing about it, Dr. Harmon.”Now, she picked the test strip and looked at it and smiled broadly before she announced, “Congratulations, you are six weeks gone.”“I'm delighted to hear that. Thank you, doctor.”Now, she smiled a bit when she realized that the conception took place on her first night with Johnny.“You are welcome. Have you had your breakfast.”“Not yet.”“It is all right. I will get you something to eat.”“Thank you for that, doctor.”“You are welcome. Come with me.”The doctor took her to her private room in the
“Guy, getting to the Vice Chancellor's office now is not feasible,” Stanley pointed out.“I will attempt.”“How? Will you jump over this heap of people?”“I will request to see my project supervisor.”“Let me try her number again,” Carmine volunteered.“I have tried it severally, but it was switched off,” Johnny emphasized. Then, the two gave him a concerned look when they noticed that he was distraught, and Stanley counselled, “I suggest that you take a break, Johnny. Her phone might be down.”“Or she turned it off to avoid embarrassing herself before the Vice Chancellor,” Carmine added. Now, Johnny turned and called out, “Let's go.”“Better,” Stanley supported, and they walked back towards the lecture halls. “I don't think there will be lectures today,” he announced.“You are right. Let us go home.” Stanley recommended. They walked towards the park and got into their car. Johnny drove off and imagined many things. The thought of Ruby spending longer time than appropriate with the V
Meanwhile, as soon as Joel walked out of his office, Sir Stewart pondered on the discussion he had with the Vice Chancellor. At that point, the television broadcast showed that the traffic at the school gate was easing off, and he gave his wife a call.“Hello, my pineapple. Any news?” she inquired after she picked her call.“My sweet pie. I think we can return to the school and meet the Vice Chancellor.”“I see. What about the grid lock at the gate? Will we be able to get into the school?”“Yes, the gridlock had eased off. Can we see him after work?”“Certainly.”“It is okay. I will pick you, my sweet pie.” “I’m waiting, my pineapple.”They laughed heartily and ended the call. Then, he gave Prof. Farrell a call at once. When he picked and greeted, Sir Stewart could feel the pressure that he was into from his voice and he empathized with him, “I hope I am not adding to your stress, Prof.”The Vice Chancellor cheered up and responded, “Not at all. I’m relieved now that the jobless and
Johnny just realized for the first time that he took a great risk. He looked at his father, who was waiting for his response. At once, he cooked up a dishonest excuse.“No one would identify me with the new car, Mr. Joel.”“Says who? You have to be security conscious at all time.”“I got it. Pardon my carelessness.”“Thank you, Joel, for reminding him of what he knew very well.”“Young Master. When did you arrive?” Dominic asked, when they got to Sir Stewart's reception.“Good day, Mr. Dominic. I arrived a while ago.”“Welcome.”“Thank you.”Now, they were in his father's office, and he admired it.“Your office is beautiful, dad.”“Thank you, just like yours. Take your seat.”“You mean my dusty office?” He asked, he took his seat and his father sat down too. Then, on a serious note, he looked into his eyes and asked, “What brings you, son?”Now, he concealed his worries and answered cheerfully. “I miss you.”Howbeit, Sir Stewart would never believe that he lied when he remembered how
They walked out of his office together and got to the security department. While his father was discussing with Mr. Meyer, he walked to the backyard and drove out his car. Meanwhile, Joel, who was discussing the security issues at the Cashew Island with Meyer, got up when his boss walked in, and went to meet Johnny when he saw him walking towards his car.“Young Master, I hope you are not planning to return without guards?”“Not at all. I have asked my father to arrange for some.”“That is good.”Sometimes, being an only child and a loved one had it its demerits. All the same, Johnny had a powerful defense mechanism to evade their excess love, which at times, could be suffocating. Soon, he drove to the gate. To avoid his unpredictable son turning his arrangements down, he asked Joel to accompany him and wait for him at the school.“Son, will you be okay if Joel accompanies you?”“That is more appropriate.” He responded and got off his car. Then, he walked to his father, who was a few
