[STORY] Road to Nowhere (Episode 15)

Road to Nowhere By Success Adegbite

Episode 15.

“Dammy, guess what?”, David asked excitedly.

” David, you know I’m not good at guessing”, Dammy replied.
David said, ” Just give it a trial. Guess why I’m excited, you might get it right”

“Okay, I’ll try. You scored a 100% in your test again?”

“Yes, I did, but, that isn’t why I’m excited. Try again”.

“You were given a large amount of money or gift by someone?”

“No, last trial”

“I told you I wasn’t good at guessing. Anyways, let me try once more. You were chosen for a competition?”.

“I was chosen for a competition, but, that’s not why I’m excited”.

“Then, what is it. Tell me already”, Dammy said.

“I can really see that you are not good at guessing”, David said with a smile. ” Actually, I’m excited because I want to invite you for lunch in my house on Saturday”.

“Is that why you are excited? You don’t even know what my response would be yet?”, Dammy said.

David said immediately, ” Of course I know it would be positive. You would find your way around it. I trust you, darling”.

“It’s true that I can find my way about it. My mom is never really concerned about where we go to. If I tell her that I’m going for a lesson in school on Saturday, she would allow me to go at once without investigating if there is truly a lesson. But, wait a minute, would your parents be at home?”, Dammy asked inquisitively.

” Of course not. I just want to have a good time with you, we are going to eat together, talk together, watch good movies and do other funny things”, David replied.

” Wow, that would really be fun. I love to come, but, I’d have to make sure my mom doesn’t suspect anything”.

” Okay darling. I’m so excited already.

Dammy was still talking when Esther got to where Dammy and David were.

Immediately, Dammy started feeling uncomfortable.

Esther turned to both of them and said, “Sorry for disturbing you guys, but, I wanted to talk to Dammy”.

” Hi…… Hi……… Hey Esther”, Dammy stammered.

” Is it okay for me to stay here or you need privacy? Daniel asked.

“No, its okay you can stay. Dammy, I came here to remind you of the program I informed you about yesterday. I just wanted to know if you have changed your mind. It’s going to hold on Saturday”, Esther said focusing on Dammy.

” Em…..em….. em.” Dammy stammered.

“Actually, she wouldn’t be able to make the program. She has plans for Saturday already. Right Dammy?” David said.

” Yeah, Right. I have plans for Saturday already”, Dammy replied.

“Okay then. You might inform me if you change your mind about it”, Esther said and left them.

Dammy faced David and said, “I don’t know why she is so interested in making sure I go to the program”

“It’s okay dear. She just wanted you to gain more knowledge and have a wonderful adventure”, David replied.

“So, do you think I should go?”, Dammy said.

“What! Why would you say such a thing? I don’t want you to go at all. What about the lunch I’m inviting you for? Don’t you know it’s on that same Saturday? ”

“I know, I’m just teasing you. Thank you for replying Esther for me. I didn’t know what to tell her”

“It’s okay dear. Let’s go to the cafeteria now to have something to eat”, David said as he held Dammy’s hands.

“You came here to announce to me that you are travelling back already, right?”, Dammy said as Daniel entered her room.

“Dammy, why are you treating me like this. I have seriously repented of all the things I did wrong. I said I’m sorry”, Daniel pleaded.
