THE INSIGHT - CHAPTER 11

                   CHAPTER 11


"So you mean you've not heard from him since last week" Bola said immediately she got to Dayo's place and dropped her bag. She didn't even utter a word of pleasantry, she's just too bothered.

"Yes. I try his number every day, it rings but nobody picks up, then after a while it goes off and i won't be able to reach him till the day ends. It's been like that since last week now. I've been to his place 5 times this week but there's no one in the house. Even his neighbors don't know his whereabouts". Her hands were on her jaw as she sat on her cushion chair. She looked so unbalanced. Everything about her said it all. It's just a month to the wedding and Kunle is nowhere to be found.

Bola managed to sit beside her and took the same position without saying a word for few minutes.

"Have you checked him at work?"

Dayo suddenly removed her hands and looked up.


**************************************

He manoeuvred into the compound and parked the car well. He looked at the beauty beside him and smiled at himself, then he got out of the car and went to the other side to open the door for her.

"Thanks baby" she smiled and majestically got out.

"You are welcome her royal highness" he teased and they both laughed. They walked hand in hand into the mansion, smiling all the way.

"Sandra!...........Sandra!" she called repeatedly on the top of her voice. She turned, facing Kunle.

"Baby, will you sit here or you wanna go upstairs"

"Let's see Daddy first" he replied as he sat down on the leather chair in the mini sitting room designed for entertaining of visitors. There are not much furniture in the room. Just 2 leather cushion chairs and a glass center table. There's also a wine rack located at one corner of the room with a large portrait of Feyi's late mother located on the wall directly facing the wine rack. She was really a beauty to behold. Now Kunle knows where Feyi got her exquisite traits from.

"Okay, let me go change my shoes into something more comfortable while you wait then" she hurried upstairs, calling Sandra, their maid all the way.

Kunle couldn't help but thank his stars for making him so fortunate to meet Feyi. They've been together for just few weeks and it seems like it's been 10years. They've both come to make their relationship known to Feyi's Dad.  Few minutes later, Sandra brought him some juice

"Thank you Sandra"

"You are welcome oga" she bent and walked back into the kitchen.

Kunle was still enjoying himself with the juice when suddenly he heard Feyi and Chief having an argument upstairs. He dropped his cup on the center table, got up and moved towards the staircase to have a clear idea of what the argument is all about. He already had an hunch it's all about his relationship with Feyi and he wasn't wrong.


"Dad, i love Kunle. Don't you get it?" .

"And i said that's not possible. This guy we are talking about is already engaged to someone else" he blotted out angrily. Feyi kept her hands akimbo, she was obviously boiling too. Her Dad had just told her to end everything between herself and the love of her life.

"She's not the best for him dad. Haven't you met her? The first time i saw her, i thought she was the maid. How can such a primitive person marry Kunle"

"And you think you are the best for him right?" Chief got up and moved close to her

"End whatever it is between you and that man Feyisara. Leave him alone for Dayo. That lady doesn't deserve this. The last time i checked, their wedding is in 4weeks"

"And what will happen to what we feel for each other. He had never been happier since we started going out"

"FEYISARA MARTINS!" Chief called out angrily. His eyes is changing now and Feyi knows what that means but she's not ready to take any chances. It's a do or die affair.

"You WILL never get my blessings for that relationship!!!"

"Dad, this is the 21st century. Parent's blessings don't work anymore these days" she uttered and walked out of her dad's room angrily.

"Feyisara!! Come back here!" Chief roared.

 She went straight into her room and started packing some few things into a suitcase.

Chief followed her and stomped into her room. He was stunned when he saw the suitcase.

"You will leave your father's house for a relationship that has no future?"

"Dad, you have no right to say my relationship with Kunle has no future"

"I am your father! I gave birth to you and gave you the best of everything. You must do what i say!" he shouted on the top of his voice. Feyi continued emptying her wardrobe, not taking a look at her Dad. Then suddenly she looked up to him.

"I'm not a child anymore. I'm old enough to take certain decisions for myself. You of all people have to understand that" she continued.

Chief stomped out of her room and went downstairs. He saw Kunle and moved close to him. Kunle bowed his head.

"What has Dayo done to deserve this?" Kunle went mute, he couldn't even look up.

"Kunle, the first time i saw you, i saw in you a son i never had and for you to do this to someone you once told me with your very own mouth that you love? I'm so disappointed"

"Sir, i love your daughter. I've never felt this way about anyone before"

Feyi came downstairs with bags.

"Dad, there's nothing you can do to change our minds. We love each other, can't you see?"

She turned to Kunle

"Let's go baby"

Kunle took his car key and his cellphone.

"Kunle!" Chief called and Kunle looked back.

"Don't make the same mistake i made when i was at this junction of my life. Sometimes there's more to what we see" he said and went back upstairs.

Kunle stood for some seconds.

"Mistake?" he murmured, "What could he be talking about? How could marrying such a beautiful woman be a mistake or what junction was he referring to" he thought.

"Baby, let's go. Don't mind Dad. He's just being unnecessarily paranoid" she dragged him and they both went out.


**************************************

"So when was the last time you guys heard from him?"

Philip scratched his head, trying to remember. Dayo was at their place, thinking Kunle might be there.

"We chatted sometimes last week"

John joined them in the living room, holding a pack of juice and a glass cup. He served Dayo and sat down beside her. Dayo thanked him.

"Abi John" Philip turned to him

"Yeah i think so"

"That was around the same time i heard from him last". She couldn't even take the juice offered to her.

"Have you been to his office?" John suggested

"Bola asked the same thing. I will be there first thing tomorrow morning. I am so worried"

John rubbed her back. "it's okay. Let's just hope he's okay wherever he is"

Dayo sighed.
