It was remaining two days before the day court would pass their final verdict on Sam and Mr. Louis' family case. That was the same day when the court needs to pass their final verdict on Senator Yakubu's case since he was the one who abused the power and authority conferred on him by law while using it to terrorize people around him. The court had already charged him with many crimes, which he never debunked. Though he did plead not guilty, the evidence provided already tied the consequences of what he did around his neck. By the look of things, he won't possibly escape the wrath of the law.
Everyone that used to go to court while judging the case could attest that there was no means he was escaping being punished. I believe he already knows since his attorney isn't doing any justice to the charges placed against him. Even Sam was also seeing himself behind bars. Not to talk about Sam's accomplice who had been in police custody since they were caught in a kidnapping
In the evening, I was busy preparing some meals in the kitchen when I heard a knock on our door. Sure, I was expecting aunty Sandra and her family, since that's the day she told me that they'll be coming. I couldn't wait for anyone to get to the door before I rushed to the door. I opened the door only to see a total stranger. A young man with a sealed package in his hand. Imagine how disappointed I was.
"H, good afternoon ma," The young man said
"Good afternoon, who are you and what are you looking for?" I spoke to him angrily.
"Sorry, I came to deliver a package from our store. Someone by the name… (he looked at the package in his hand and read out) Madam Ruth, Jimmy ordered something online. I hope I'm in the right place."… He asked.
" Sure, you're welcome. Spare me some seconds, let me call her." I answered.
"Thank you, madam" He then replied as I went into the house to call Madam Ruth.
I knocked at Madam Ruth's door then told her about the person looking for him and went back to continue what I was going in the kitchen. A few seconds later, I overheard Madam Ruth saying,
"Who do we have here!!"
I got confused by such a question. I thought she was asking me. But I knew the gentleman must still be waiting to deliver the package. I pretended that I didn't hear what she said. Next, I heard Uncle Ken's voice asking about me.
I ran out of the kitchen and saw Sandra and Madam Ruth where they hugged themselves very tightly. I jokingly separated them and held her in a firm clasp. Initially, I didn't feel like leaving her anytime soon, but seeing Uncle Ken again carrying their son reminded me that I have other people to show such love. Furthermore, I left aunty Sandra and hugged Uncle Ken.
Uncle Ken jokingly said, "Jessy, you've turned into a full-grown woman!" I knew he was just teasing me. I didn't answer him but collected the baby from him. Then we continued exchanging pleasantries.
My aunty already turned into a full-grown woman. More beautiful than she used to be. Just a glance at her would tell you that they've been living 'large'!
Madam Ruth collected Sandra's child from me, and Sandra asked me to go and get what she had in the car. I went with Ken and Sandra and Madam Ruth went into the house while Madam Ruth was still having the package she ordered in her hand.
"Wow! Uncle ken, are you people not going back again? Why do you carry all this luggage?" Did I ask him? In curiosity since I found many pieces of luggage in the car.
"That's the work of your Aunty. We didn't prepare to stay more than two weeks, and she brought all these. That's. One of my concerns. Mine is to make sure that my child and I feed well and dress well."
Ken replied as if they were having issues for that same purpose. Since he didn't sound, so friendly, I had to pause the discussion and concentrate on what brought me to the car.
Madam Ruth joined me in the kitchen as we prepared meals for Sandra and her family. While we were in the kitchen, Sandra and Ken were trying to settle in the visitor's room, where we kept their luggage. Madam Ruth was very supportive in the kitchen. Since she entered the kitchen, I started running errands for her while she did the main cooking. We made different dishes since we had to keep some in the refrigerator for future use.
