In a nutshell,zuri had to meet some standards excluding financially before she could got married to the Greens families at all in which one of the essential was being academically sound. However, at the Greens house Zuri who was meant to just spent maximum two days according to designated plans turned out staying back for blessed two weeks, Almost all the Greens family had met her in person barring the one's residing outside the country Nigeria.
During her visits, a fateful evening right before the family had dinner,Mr Green Zacheus(Andrew's father) had invited Zuri for a brief conversations and probably interrogations at the pool side in their mansion
"I'm here sir" Zuri said to mr Green as she met him sat at one of the mini cushion working with his laptop but Mr Green on the other hand didn't paid attention to her, perhaps he wasn't aware that Zuri was standing already
Zuri tapped him.
"Oh my soon to be daughter in law, you are welcome, you can have your seats" mr Green offered Zuri a seat as they exchanged pleasantries once again
Straight to the point, with two glass of juice sitting right in their front as served by one of the Greens house help. With a heavy sighed and without hesitation Mr Green put the shocking question to her
"My daughter, of all men in the world why did you chose my son. Is it because of the background and influences?"Mr Green asked
The question came so abruptly to Zuri that she went mute for a while before she could have a single response with a squinting eyes
"(Sighed heavily), monsieur je suis ...(speaking french)"
Mr Green cuts in
"Moi fille(my daughter in french) (he smiled). You don't have to speak French to me because you and my wife have been conversing in that language, sincerely I barely understand it. So could you spare me and let's talk in English or rather itsekiri. Do you understand the dialect?" Andrew's father jokingly asked
"No sir"Zuri responded respectfully
She continued
"I choose your son because I genuinely love him sir"
"(He exclaimed)Is that true?am i supposed to believe that?" He asked again
"Hundred percent sir"Zuri reassured him
"Let's be sincere to each other as father and daughter now,are you sure you can keep up with Andrew's extravagant lifestyle,you know he's sometime a spoilt brat" Andrew's father interrogated her again
Zuri paused for a while
Andrews father cuts in again
"I know he loves you that's why he's taking the most responsible step of his life by taking you as his wife eventually but I promise you he's gonna change and you know we love you too here or don't you feel comfortable with the atmosphere of love you are feeling here?" He jokingly asked again
*Of course, daddy I really do feel comfortable"Zuri replied him
The conversation went smoothly and soothing, Zuri even felt more safe with Andrew's family, she never expected to be treated gloriously as her initial perspective was them to be some spoilt influential powered families
At the dinner,
"My daughter, when are we meeting your family, we ought to be start planning either introduction or perhaps wedding right now"Andrew's mother asked Zuri
"Ma'am, I will love to speak to my parents about it first and gets back to you ma"Zuri responded respectfully again while holding a glass juice about to sipped it,her phone rang, shockingly it turned out to be her mother, she picked up the call and the atmosphere in the dinning turned wild as Mrs Green was extremely excited to begat the opportunity to have a brief conversation with Zuri's mother Mrs Ikupaye,she even thanked her for training a successful beautiful young lady like her
"I'm so overwhelmed by your daughter, thank you so much for raising such an amazing angel, she's just so loving" Andrew's mother added
"It's all pleasure ma'am"Mrs Ikupaye responded on the phone conversation
While these two mother's were on call with Zuri's phone, the soon to be couple were busy staring awkwardly at each other,they were even tickling each other that Zuri had to cautioned Andrew's and called him to order by whispering into his ears "Your parents are here"Zuri whispered to his fiance ears.
Later that night, Zenon video called his elder sister while Zuri and Zenon were watching TV inside their room, unknowingly to Zuri, Zoe had been feeding Zenon the entire gist fortunately for him, he was oppotuned to see Andrew's face as they exchanged pleasantries in men languages
"My Boss" Andrew teased Zenon
"I'm not yet a boss sir, you are the boss now"Zenon jokingly replied him too
"I don't mind if you become my boss, so anything for me my boss?" Andrew teased him again, at this moment they both laughed out hysterically
"I should be the one asking you that, I mean you are about to bag my sister now and take her from us totally" Zenon added
"Wow!!I get it, I'm gonna give your sister something to give you or should I send It to you myself?"
Andrew asked
Zuri immediately disagreed to his opinion "that's a no for me,it has to pass through me babe"
"Ohh big sister duty, Don't worry boss just call your account number right away "Andrew requested.
Unbelievably,he credited Zenon a whooping amount of a hundred thousand naira, he also promised to supports his football dreams,
Zenon got off the phone elated,he screamed from his room being the only one there. On hearing that crazy sound, Salim hurried to his room as he thought something was wrong but apparently his instinct were proven contrarily,Zenon bursted out the news
"You know what give me an ick about you sometimes Dimeji"Salim irritatedly spoken
"Kini(meaning what is it in Yoruba)"Zenon got annoyingly curios
"Dimeji, the fact that you somehow acts like you are a nobody"Salim spilled
"Guy, as how na, this Is a whooping hundred thousand naira do you know the substantial sweats and strength it will consume for me to make this amount from any work in just an hour?"Zenon said
"Then act like you can make It in an hour, why did you just screamed like that what if there was maybe your crush or any girls here"that's Salim always awkward
"But there was no any girls here right?"Zenon responded too
"Anyways, don't think because someone credited you a whooping hundred thousand naira(mimicked Zenon)you should lavish it. Good night" Salim said as he ended the conversation and retired to his room
