LOVE TRAIN : THE HEART OF A WOMAN (Part 15A)

Stella’s story*continues*

Very early the next day i had
a little discussion with Lydia,
Chika and her twin before
heading out to meet Gen.
Johnson.
The girls weren’t in support
of me dealing with Kelvin by
putting him behind bars,
they wanted something
more confrontational like
physically abusing or
deforming him. We had a
little argument on it but at
the end i won them over by
pleading they allow me plan
my revenge the way that
suits me.

As i headed to Gen.
Johnson’s office, i received a
very surprising call from my
dad.
“I hope you are in the
state?” he asked,
“no dad. I’m currently in
Abuja settling some things”
i answered.
“I forwarded your name to
the state government house.
The state governor is
selecting new special
advisers/assistants. You
have to round up whatever
you are doing there and
head back to the state. You
may be asked to report any
day” he disclosed with his
usual strong voice.
“oh Dad!” i exclaimed with
surprise.
“don’t tell me i did wrong by
submitting your name?. You
are my only child capable of
stepping in my shoes. This
appointment will help your
career” he wrapped up.
“i know dad, it’s just that i’m
astonished. I’m just a lady.
I’m still unmarried. How far
can i go with politics?” i
cried with joy mixed with
worry.
“shut up” he barked and
hung up.
“oh dad” i murmured to
myself, while the great news
settled in me. I was steps
away from being addressed
with the title “HONOURABLE”
____
Gen. Johnson was pleased
to see me just like always.
After exchanging
pleasantries, i told him my
reason for coming.
“I want Kelvin disgraced out
of his job. I’m willing to do
whatever necessary” i
appealed, but unfortunately
the Gen. denied my request
for the first time.
“I’m sorry dear, but things
don’t happen like that.
Remember you gave me full
assurance on the boy before
i picked him. Kelvin is now
too committed with some
top shots in this country,
that exposing him in
anything can backfire on
everyone, including me.
Unless you want him
terminated. That’s the only
way out. I’m sorry dear” the
good old military officer said
to me, dashing my hopes
and leaving me with only
one plan….
