Me:
Betty make sure the meeting takes place on Monday first thing in the morning, if
I have any appointments, cancel!
Her:
yes ma’am
Me:
good.
I
then hung up. I was sitting across my lawyer & Mr.. Sikanyika’ lawyer
together with him.
Me:
How much are you going for?
Him:
$370, 000
Me:
3-what?
His
lawyer decided to jump in.
Lawyer:
actually they are going for $500, 000 because these shares are worth a lot so $370,
000... see it as a discount.
Me:
$370, 000? For 20%?
Lawyer:
Yes.
Me:
$300, 000!
I
looked at Mr.. Sikanyika as I ran my hand on my exposed cleavage.
Mr..
Sikanyika: $350, 000.
Me:
I think we are having misunderstandings here.
I
stood up then handed Mr.. Sikanyika an envelope that contained our pictures.
Knowing him full well, he wouldn't want them to be exposed because of his wife,
plus it would tarnish his reputation costing him a lot.
Me:
$250k today, you will talk with my lawyer Mr.. Sikanyika, have a good day.
I
said as I walked out with my lawyer behind me. As we walked downstairs to the
garage my phone started ringing, it was mom.
Me:
mother.
Her:
Miyoba! Do you know the shame you have put the family through?
Me:
I don’t think so.
Her:
Your father is mad.
Me:
Did the bride price negotiations take place?
Her:
Yes, how could they not?
Me:
Whatever.. As far as I'm concerned I'm good as single, I will call you.
Her:
Your father wants to see you.
Me:
Why are you even marrying me off? all my life I had been obedient, did what
made you happy but today suddenly you want to marry me off?
Her:
It’s… you don’t understand.
Me:
Make me understand then!
Her:
You are destined for other things not the company Miyo.
Me:
So who's destined for the company?...wait! It’s Tits? She disrespected you… she
doesn't deserve the company. I worked hard to be where I am… she's busy posing
naked & getting married & today the company is destined for her?
Her:
MIYOBA calm down, that’s not what is going on.
Her:
MIYOBA! That’s not what's going on!
Me:
Then what is going on?
Her:
Your father also inherited Friendly ok. It is his inheritance.. & from him
it has to go to the male son… your father's son. Unfortunately he doesn't have
one so we consulted the ancestors. The rightful leader is there but it’s not
you or Tits or the man you are getting married to. The son in law is just there
to buy us time with the ancestors just until we find the rightful owner because
if you lead the company, the whole family will face the biggest storm ever… that
company is the root of the family, you might think it’s all about making money,
you are wrong. That company is the pillar of the family & if it falls apart,
then it is over for us.
Me:
But I worked hard to be the leader of the company. I worked so hard for it… why
couldn't you tell me this all along?
Her:
We were hoping that the ancestors were wrong.
Me:
So what will happen if the rightful owner, the rightful leader isn't found.
Her:
Things will fall apart.
Me:
I just can't leave what I worked hard for. I just can't I'm sorry. I don’t give
a fuck about the ancestors.
Her:
Yoyo!
Me:
No! I'm not just going to let dad walk all over me! Not this time around.. Friendly
is mine.
I
then hung up. The ancestors could go to hell for all I care.
