The Union

"I wish I had an alternative,” the twenty-one-year-old miserable Rose lamented, and scanned the goods in her scanty country store. Her eyes were wet at once, as they often do each time she thought of her late mother, and her compulsory summer internship which would warrant her to lock her shop for that period.“How would I sustain myself if I…?”“Hey! Do you have any flour that is lower in calories?” A shopper, who was in his twenties, requested, and interrupted her thoughts. The repulsive voice jolted her out of her reverie, and she repressed her tears of helplessness, before she gave the shopper a smile. Then, she inquired, “Do you mean unripe plantago flour?”“Whatever. Do you have it?” The domineering son of the Group Managing Director of the Blue Sea Oil and Gas Group, demanded cursorily. Meanwhile, he did not miss the opportunity to admire the beautiful, but poorly dressed damsel in front of him.“Unfortunately, I don't have any,” Rose pacified. Before she could complete her sen

“Oh! No. You must have been stressed up. Did you check the suburbs?”“Yes. I did, but it was fruitless, too. I will check again tomorrow.”“It's all right. Cheer up.”“Thank you. What about George and Benson? Did you come with them?”“Nope. George went to work with his bucket of bolts, and would not return with me.”“You are correct.”Nevertheless, her husband's presence gave her some boost, and she cheered up. She helped him to pull off his shoes, and afterward, they rested before the dinner. However, he was happy to see his mother-in-law when they walked to the guest room to welcome her.“Welcome, mother-in-law,” Evans greeted.“Thank you, son. I can see that you are good,” his mother-in-law responded.“Yes. I'm fine.”“That's good.”At the Dinner TableThe couple was at the dining table when George, their successor, and Benson Owens, Evans' nephew, joined them.“Good evening, mom and dad,” they greeted one after the other.“Good evening, George and Benson,” the couple responded sim

“You are in pain, my dear. What is the matter?” Mrs. Owens requested with concern. Then, Rose composed, and explained, “I lost my mother two months ago. She died exactly a year after my father died.”“My goodness! Was she ill?”“Yes ma'am. She had sugar disease, and died as a result of improper health care.”“Oh dear, accept my condolences, my dear,” she sympathized.“Thank you, ma'am.”“Permit me to ask what about the other members of your family? I mean your siblings?”Now, Rose bit her lower lip hard, and allowed her tears to flow freely. “I need vanilla sweet,” a mother with a baby requested. Without a second thought, Sarah, who felt disturbed, dismissed her, “Sorry, it's not available.”The disappointed woman left at once with her baby for another store. Then, she faced Rose, and consoled, “Kindly stop crying. It's not good for your health.”“Thank you, ma'am. I have a sibling, but she was abducted by people we are yet to discover. I found her body by the roadside a few days aft

Two Weeks LaterNow, all was set for Rose to leave for her summer internship. She had looked forward to it because it would be an opportunity to have a change of environment and meet new people. Nevertheless, Mrs. Owens' appearance in her life, and her request to be her daughter-in-law, gave her cold feet. She would miss her new-found joy.“Is this the Shop Attendant?” Mrs. Owens asked, after she walked into her shop and met a strange face.“Yes, mom. Her name is Adeline Seymour. Meet my mom, Adeline,” she introduced. Nevertheless, the eighteen-year-old girl greeted warmly, “Good evening, ma'am. I am happy to meet you.”“Good evening, Adeline. It is a pleasure meeting you,” Sarah responded with a soft smile. Then, she turned to Rose and advised, “Be a good girl.”“I will, mom. I will miss you,” she declared with an emotional voice. Howbeit, Sarah looked into her wet eyes, and consoled, “I understand. I will keep in touch.”“All right Mom.”“Inform me when you arrive. Is that clear?”

After six minutes, they were at the train station.“Thank you for the ride, George,” she appreciated after he parked at the train terminal.“I'm glad that I'm of help. I pray that my day will be Rosy.”Now, they were out of the car, and Rose laughed at his joke. They took the luggage out of the car trunk, and he assisted her to take them to the lounge. Then, she began to wait for her departure alongside other passengers. After a few minutes, George announced, “I hope to take my leave.”“It's okay, George. Thank you, once again.”“It's my pleasure. Have a Rosy trip.”She giggled, and complimented too, “Have a Georgy day.” They laughed happily, and thereafter, he left. He walked out of the lounge delighted and got into his car. Meanwhile, he ignored the mockery looks on the faces of the passersby over his clunker.At Dome CityRose Temple arrived at the National Mathematical Center after ten hours. As soon as she settled down, she gave Mrs. Owens a call, and she picked happily, and greet

“Yes. Mrs. Owens,” he answered, and walked to her.“I'm not going out again. I changed my mind,” she informed. Now, the driver admitted and walked back to the courtyard, and returned the car to the garage. Nevertheless, Sarah sunk into her seat, and heaved freely. Then, she decided to give Rose a call to cancel the appointment. Suddenly, her phone rang. She looked at the caller and her face beamed. Then, she picked cheerfully, and greeted, “Hello, Lilly. How are you?”“Hello, mom. I'm fine. How is everyone?”"Everyone is fine. How are your studies going?”“My studies are going on smoothly. I miss everyone.”“We miss you too. Your dad would be in Saudi Arabia for a long program.”“Oh! I can't wait to have him.”“Yes. But the program will commence the coming year.”“I see. I would have visited home before then.”“You are right. I can't wait to have you.”“I can't wait to see everyone, too.”“We are expecting you.”“Okay, mom. Goodbye.”“Goodbye, my dear. Take care of yourself.”Six Mont

7. The Union 6

"No mom, it’s one of the new students,” he responded, and tried to veer his mother's attention away from the topic. Now, he picked a slice of fruit from the saucer, and threw it into his mouth. However, his tricks did not work. His mother continued, “At first, it was your coach; now it’s a new student. Which will I take?” Now she looked at him keenly, and waited for his response. When he hesitated, she ignored him, and went straight to her mission.“Anyway, that is not why I am here. I told you earlier on that I was expecting a visitor, and would like you to meet her. When will it be convenient for you to meet her?”Now, George was aware of what she was up to. Instantly, he got up to leave. Then, his mother asked, “Where do you think you are going, George?”“I want to use the convenience,” he lied, and walked towards the convenience. Then, his mother got up at once, and declared, “Give me your response when you are ready,” before she walked out of his room. Now, George was happy that

"No, the woman chose her for her beloved son.”“Oh! The woman must be a caring, and loving mother for choosing such a rare gem for her son.”“I think so.”“In that case, I will propose that you let her be. As you can, she is a disciplined, and an honest person, every man’s dream. You will meet your dream woman one day. I pray she will be like her.”“Thank you for your encouragement. I pray so, too.”A Few Days Later.Now, with the absence of Rose in George's life, and the pestering from his mother to accept a blind date, he resolved to fill the vacuum that Rose had created in his life. To ensure that his mother would not impose any girl on him, he picked a girl for himself at once. To Sarah, and Benson's surprise, he got back from work that day very excited. Then, he announced with glee, “Ya eh! I have good news for you all.”Now, Mrs. Owens and Benson looked at him instantly, and requested one after the other, “Wow! Share it.” “Yes. Let's hear it.”Now, George looked at Benson, a

"I will. Thank you for your concern, aunty. I appreciate.”“It is all right.”Now, George was a bit relieved from his emotional stress. “If only mom would stop disturbing me with the issue of choosing a wife for me, and allow me to worry about losing Rose, and develop enough love for Sophia, my problem would have been minimal,” he pointed out. Then, he braced up, and began to prepare for the management meeting. When he got stuck, he would call on his father for clarification. Before the meeting, he walked to the General Manager's Office for harmonization of their agenda. However, the GM saw that as a great honor for coming to his office instead of sending for him.“Thank you, AGMD. I'm honored to have you,” the General Manager appreciated.“Think nothing about it, GM. I am well guided with your input,” he responded.When it was time for the management meeting, with the call from his aunt, and the General Manager by his side, he had a successful meeting. His father, who monitored the m

Thereafter, he walked out briskly, and returned with some clothes in his hands, and a briefcase. Nevertheless, George showed worries, and he explained at once, “Mommy said I will be sharing your room with you for the moment. It is like she is around. How can she just displace me?” He asked angrily, and attempted to drop the clothes in the wardrobe. “I will be ruthless with her. She would regret ever meeting me,” Benson concluded with visible anger. Now, George was weak, and could not think of what to do. To steady himself, he left the window, and walked back to the couch. Then, he simply asked the overzealous Benson, “Who will you be ruthless with?”Likewise, Benson, who thought that he was protecting his big brother from a forced marriage, was surprised at his question. He locked eyes with him, and inquired, “What?” PrologueAt Rose's HouseNow, Mrs. Owens had assured Rose that all was set for her to meet with her son, and she was expectant. Meanwhile, she could not wait for th
