Episode 35

Excuse me, sir!!

MR AMBROSE: Yes?

NINA: erm, my name is Nina Donald; I am Tatiana's new teacher. Nice to meet you?

MR AMBROSE: pleasure.

NINA: erm, I have some concerns about her. Lately she has been behaving really badly, throwing away her lunch, kicking other kids and being generally a brat

MR AMBROSE: hold it right there! Never you ever use such word on my daughter! Ever! If you do, You will have me to deal with and I promise it wouldn't be a business dealing sort of thing.

Now to your complain, if my daughter has suddenly become disruptive in class, it means there is something you? are not doing right! I want to believe you know your child psychology very well!

If you read her previous reports, you would see she has never been a problem child. Find out why she is behaving that way lately. That is your duty as her teacher! Good day!

Remember, never call my child a brat! Never! Ever!

NINA: I'm…I'm..So.. rry sir. I…I.. was thinking maybe we could have a meeting and review her learning plans and see if we can make any changes..tha..t..that might help… what do you think?

MR AMBROSE: good day, young lady! Mummy, get into the car.

You mess with my child, I kill You!??

TATIANA: daddy

MR AMBROSE: Yes, my love

TATIANA: auntie Judy going home tomorrow?

MR AMBROSE: she is going home tomorrow

TATIANA: Does she have a house?

MR AMBROSE: mummy, everyone has a house.

TATIANA: Why then do we pray for homeless people during morning devotion?

MR AMBROSE:okay! Some people have no house, but auntie Judy does.

TATIANA: but our house is bigger than hers and she does not have a garden!

MR AMBROSE: how did you know that??

TATIANA: I don't know

MR AMBROSE: neither do I. I've not been to her house before.

TATIANA: daddy, let her stay in our house

MR AMBROSE: why?

TATIANA: because she does not have a mummy

MR AMBROSE: what happened to her mummy?

TATIANA: she went to heaven before mummy.

MR AMBROSE: she told you that?

TATIANA: Yes.

MR AMBROSE: I didn't even know that! When did she tell you.

TATIANA: when she was giving me a shower when you went to grandma Nkechi's house. I really really really want her to stay in our house so we can give her food

MR AMBROSE: hahahaha! She doesn't need our food? She makes her own money!

TATIANA: but she's only a baby

MR AMBROSE: no she ain't? She's a grown woman! She is older than your mummy!

TATIANA: so why does she cry then?

MR AMBROSE: when mummy was going to heaven?

TATIANA: no! Yesterday!

MR AMBROSE: you saw her crying Yesterday?

TATIANA: she was reading one paper and crying and talking to that paper!

MR AMBROSE: hmmmm! Mummy, sometimes big people cry too. Let's not worry about it. Would you like some ice cream?

TATIANA: yesssss!?

MR AMBROSE: what one?

TATIANA: chocolate ice cream!

MR AMBROSE: and what should we get Shasha, Kate and Judy?

TATIANA: and baby Joshua!

MR AMBROSE: Joshua can't have ice creams yet. He only feeds on milk..

(Ambrose and her daughter got home with the ice creams they got the girls at home. From outside the house, he could hear the cry of baby Joshua. So he hurriedly entered the house and found Judith bathing him)

MR AMBROSE: phew! Was wondering why he was crying! Do you want me to do it?

JUDITH: no, it's alright. Babies cry when they have their bath

MR AMBROSE: you are so good at it. Have you done this before?

JUDITH: I'm 20 years older than our last born so I did it a lot when he was born.

MR AMBROSE: that's quite a gap. Well, my mum taught me how to do it when I took Joshua to her. But I'm not quite as good as you are. Well done!

How are you, Kate? Still wearing a long face?

KATE: I'm fine, sir

MR AMBROSE: Why is your hair like this?

KATE: I'll fix it soon?

MR AMBROSE: how soon is soon?

KATE: over the weekend, sir.

TATIANA: nanny Kate, we bought you ice cream and aunty Judy and Shasha.???

KATE: good girl! Thank you, Taty!

MR AMBROSE: where is Shasha?

KATE: she is asleep upstairs.

MR AMBROSE: Judith, when you are done, can I have a word with you, upstairs please. Thanks.?‍?‍

DERIC: I can't even begin to tell you how I feel right now. Thank you so much for this money! Thank you Xandra! Thank You!

XANDRA: no worries. Erm, I've just booked my ticket with KLM flying at 6.30am tomorrow too!

DERIC: that's the same plane I'm flying with. Same time! You never told me you were travelling. We could have booked same time so we sit together

XANDRA: it wasn't planned. I am running short of money so I need to go back but I'll still come back anyway.

DERIC: so how do we get to the airport?

XANDRA: my boyfriend will drop us

DERIC: your boyfriend? Xandra! How come you never told me all these while that you have a boyfriend???

XANDRA: well, I talk about my relationship on need to know basis. You haven't asked. Have You?

DERIC: now, why am I jealous! I seriously am!

XANDRA: it's okay to be jealous.

DERIC: it's not! Stop it, Xandra!

XANDRA: but what does it matter! You have a wife!

DERIC: just stop okay! I'm not even joking! Just stop…

XANDRA: okay then!

DERIC: so how long have you been seeing him?

XANDRA: about a week or so..

DERIC: so you were talking to someone else while talking to me too!!!!!?

XANDRA: are you crazy or what! Talking yo You? On what basis? So because I have a friend. A friend o! Nothing else, I shouldn't get into a relationship??

DERIC: Well, not while we are still friends!

XANDRA: you are the most selfish person I've ever seen in my entire life!

DERIC: you have slept with him. Haven't You?

XANDRA: personal!

DERIC: meaning?

XANDRA: you are asking me a personal question!

Well, you should actually be grateful because he was the one who gave me the money I gave you!

DERIC: he did??????? (reaches for the envelop in his pocket and drops the money on the table)

Damn it!!! I don't need his money! I am a man and I will make my own money!

XANDRA: how are you going to complete your booking since you've only paid the deposit?

DERIC: I ain't travelling anymore until I make my own money and trust me, I will! I am outta here! (Walks away angrily)

XANDRA(throws her fist in the air?, grins and then smiles??)
