COLOR OF FATE; Sour Honey
MIYOBA
I
sat on my chair looking at Mr. Sikanyika as he signed his shares over to me. As
he signed my mind darted back to what happened with the Faith guy. Just the way
he was looking at me, like I'm something he wouldn't even touch, something
disgusting. Mr. Sikanyika then stood up, I looked at my lawyer who took the
document.
Me:
And?
Him:
it’s done!
I
looked back at Mr. Sikanyika.
Me:
it was great doing business with you.
Him:
I wouldn’t say the same. You are nothing like your father.
Me:
obviously. And ohh in that meeting make sure you know which side of your bread
has cheese.
He
walked out leaving me with Hidan, my lawyer.
Me:
Do you think I will win this?
Him:
yes, the sales will make you win.
Me:
I hope so.
I
stood up.
Him:
I will give you space
Me:
ok
He
then walked out. I fixed my skirt taking my tablet then walked out to the
boardroom. Getting inside my eyes met my fathers. I occupied my seat as
everyone looked at me.
Me:
Good morning, I really apologize for the short notice meeting.
They
all nodded. I looked at Dorothy, our sales manager.
Me:
you may take over.
She
stood up & started presenting on how the sales have drastically changed
from when I started leading the company.
She
continued as I looked at every shareholder, they were listening attentively.
When my eyes met my father's, surprisingly he was looking at me. He had the
disapproving look but I couldn't care less. After she was done, they applauded
her as she sat down.
Me:
it’s no lie that ever since I came in this company the sales have been
increasing each day.
Dad:
let's cut to the chase Miyoba, you want to be elected as the official CEO?
Me:
yes & I also need your support to take this company higher places.
Dad:
those in vote to make Miyoba the CEO may you please show by raising your hand.
Most
of the people raised their hands. I sighed in relief.
After
a while my father & I were walking in my office.
Dad:
do you realize what's at stake here?
Me:
what's at stake Father?
Dad:
our lives are at stake!
Me:
because I'm running the company supposedly?
Dad:
no! Because you are the wrong blood!
Me:
wrong blood?
Dad:
there is a specific person for this! this isn't just a company.. It’s the root
of the family & it should be led by the rightful person & it’s not you
Me:
says who?
Dad:
the ancestors.
Me:
the dead people?
He
sighed then walked out. I sat on my chair with a smile. Finally, I was where
I've always wanted to be.
Dad
came back after a while but he wasn't alone. He was with this other man, a very
old man for that matter.
Dad:
this is the Seer.
Me:
ok
Dad:
he’s the sangoma the family, sangoma
Me:
you not about to do the Mumbo-Jumbo thingy in my office father
Dad:
Miyoba!
I
kept quite & the Seer sat down on the carpet. He took out some things, weird
things for that matter. After a while he was burning some shit creating a smoke
in the office.
Me:
father-
The
Seer: shes close yet so far..
I
looked at Dad who was focused on the Seer.
Me:
so it's a she?
The
Seer: yes… it's a female… She carries the voice of a leader, the ancestors are
trying to locate her.
I
laughed that Dad looked at me.
Me:
the ancestors don’t even know where she is! Great!
The
Seer: they won't stop till she's found.
I
started rocking my chair.
Dad:
so what's going to happen in the mean time?
The
Seer: she's a replica to one of the daughters.
Me:
I have a replica?
The
Seer: I don't know but there's a replica… the son in law has to lead till she's
found.
Me:
father I have a meeting to attend, we are hosting a fashion show, what you are
saying is not making sense.
The
Seer packed his staff as I opened the windows & sprayed my perfume around
to get rid of the smoke.
Dad:
you need to be at your in-laws house.
Me:
I met my husband.
Dad:
you did?
Me:
yes. I'm not wife material according to him.
Dad:
you are perfect.
Me:
why should I be the one to get married?
Dad:
because your sister is already married.
I
stood up & took my handbag.
Me:
I don’t like him.
Dad:
you will learn to, we need him!
I
walked out.
Me:
close the door on your way out.
I
didn't care about what dad & his sangoma were saying but what hit me was
the replica talk. I kept wondering if I have a twin or was it Tits? I don’t
exactly remember Tits's birth. If the replica has to be the one to run the
company then why not find the replica first! I took out my phone & called
Josh, my PI.
Me:
hey
Him:
hi
Me:
can you look for someone for me?
