It was week end, chidi went home as he normally do most of the time,his father Mr Jonathan who was a full time business man,Mr Jonathan wasn’t always around because he is always travelling from one country to another on business,Mr Jonathan was in his sitting room reading a news paper as he always does each time he comes back from a trip to know what has been happening in the country.
Mr Jonathan with a loud voice )Mary,mary
Mary came into the sitting room)yes sir you called me
Mary was the senior maid in the house,most times you will mistake her as the older sister to chidi because of the way she dresses, she is beautiful down to earth and her english is very neat.
Mr Jonathan :where is my son
Mary:he is in his room sir
Mr Jonathan :go tell him I want to see him now
Mary key sir
She left to call chidi,not long chidi walked into the sitting room
Chidi :dad you sent for me(he sat down on the couch)
Mr Jonathan dropped his news paper)yes I did (he cleared his throat) report came to me while I was till in China that you took a loan of one million naira from first bank and you didn’t pay back,I had to pay with my own money to save other embarrassment that my own son will take a loan from a back when I am capable of more then that,if I may ask what did you use the money for.
Chidi:I won’t ask you how you found out because I know it was that stupid P.A of yours that told you.
Mr Jonathan upset)are you stupid,I just asked you a question and am till waiting for an answer.
Chidi :I just needed money for some things you wasn’t around and mum wasn’t too
So I did what I thought was best.
Mr Jonathan :what happened to your allowance, I put five thousand naira into your account every month so that you will not lack anything, you are not the one taking care of your school expensive, so tell me what was the money for.
Chidi:dad,you are taking this issue too far,I didn’t collect the whole bank just one million naira.
Chidi upset)dad,it my life and I will do with it the way I pleases.
Mr Jonathan : oh,then not with my money,chidi I am warning you be careful or else you will regret i being your father, nonsense.
Chidi:am sorry dad,it won’t happen again
Mr Jonathan :yes sorry, that’s what you always say,till you go out there to spoil my repetition, you know who I am,why can’t you behave like your younger sister,you are brilliant and that is why I am even trying to advise you,you don’t have any common sense.
Chidi:I will try,can I go now
Mr Jonathan :leave my presence
Chidi got up and left
