Good morning sir, "Michael prostrated on sighting his father outside their family house".
Good morning son, how are you? "He returned his greetings". You didn't inform us you were coming or you already told your mother".
No sir, I didn't inform her also, I was just passing by and I thought to come since I have an urgent matter to discuss with the two of you, that was why I didn't bother calling you or mumsy.
Let's go inside then since you're here on an urgent matter, I hope all his well sha my son, did you and your fiancee have a fight? "Michael father asked". Mummy Michael your son is here. "He called out his wife who answered swiftly".
Hahaha, this is an August visitor in September o, okomi (my husband, this phrase okomi is commonly used among the yoruba people for whom they cherished might be a son, a daughter, grandchildren but it actually is my husband) Oluwadamilare ikoyi iko, omo aboba joruko, omo ola, omo oburokin (all that are family pedigree) what brought you here early this morning, we spoke yesterday evening you didn't inform me you were coming, I would have prepared something for you to eat but no problem I will quickly microwave the soup and make amala for you now. "Michael's mother said joyfully".
Mummy calm down, I will eat before I leave but I came to discuss the new development plan about my marriage with you, "Michael explained to his joyful mother".
Ok son, what is it, hope there is no problem, but we already picked a date and am already selling the Ankara asoebi and gele to my family and friends o, "Michael's mother replied".
Women, women, calm down Madam, he said he's here to tell us about something, let him talk and be attentive. "Michael's father interrupted".
Daddy, Mummy, Tosin's parents wants another introduction with us and it's because her mother wasn't around when that one held, there's no plan in changing wedding date as it has been fixed already, they just want to meet us again, so the bride's mother will be familiar with her in-laws before the wedding. So it's just the three of us and her own family too, no extended family will be involved, "Michael explained to his parents".
That one is not a problem now, we will meet them whenever they want us to come "Michael's mother contributed".
Why didn't they wait till her mother was around before the introduction or do they think we are not busy with our own lives, this rich people have one kind of mentality I don't understand "Michael's father blurted out".
I'm sorry sir, but there's nothing we can do than to do what they want, after all it's your son that wants to marry their daughter and I think it's the right thing to do since the mother is in the country now, please daddy let's just honour their request, it's not to much sir, "Michael begged his father".
Don't mind your father, if I was the bride's mother, I would have done the same, so please let's honour their request all because of Michael, it's just for formalities. "Michael's mother added.
Ok what will I do than to accept, when is the meeting holding. "Michael's dad inquired".
Daddy it's next tomorrow, on Saturday sir.
So fast, no problem. We will go with you on Saturday. "He assured".
Thank you sir, "Michael prostrated" I really appreciate your efforts, you'll reap the fruits of your labour in Jesus name.
Amen "both parents chorused".
Michael please help me thank your wife o, she sent me 2.5million naira to do shopping for my shoes, purse, hair and accessories for the wedding party, she said its a small gift from her and shouldn't stress myself, please thank her for me o, haaa God has truly blessed me with a beautiful, generous and kind daughter as my daughter-in-law. Thank you Jesus ehh. "Michael's mother stood up and danced out".
Women and money, "Michael's father giggled". She also sent me 3 million naira.
Hahaha, since when did she do that without informing me first, "Michael asked surprised". Well you're reaping the fruits of your labour. "He concluded".
You married a great woman Michael, she sent it to us this morning around 6:30 am, she gave us something without telling you that's a sign of a good house wife material if you don't know, my own advice to you is to treat her right and be good to her parents. "He advised his son". He who finds a wife, finds a good thing. I pray that you both grow old and have a happy life together.
Amen, Daddy I have to go now sir, I have an urgent meeting by twelve pm and it's almost time. Goodbye sir, please tell mummy I left sir, I don't want to stress her about the food again. "Micheal stood up to leave, shook his father's hand and left.
