THE HEART OF A TEENAGER
(My pride)
Season 2
Episode 25
The sound of AC in the sittingroom gave Alex a signal that his mission might not be successful. The mother's eyes were fixed on the television screen. Alex watched her giggled occasionally at the famous comedian, Nkem Owoh popularly known as Osofia. Rose was in her room with her ears widely opened to hear when Alex will explode the bomb.
"Mummy" Alex could with fear, the mother didn't respond due to the great attention she put on the movie she was watching.
Alex waited for another long moment before he called again, "Mummy!"
"Yes, dear" The mother replied without looking at him.
"I want to tell you something." Alex adjusted forward.
"What's it?" Her eyes were still on the television.
"I want you to help my friend who is in need"
"What type of help?"
"A help with the sum of 1million naira" The mother turned down the volume of the television, she kept the remote and faced Alex. Rose was at her door listening to them secretly.
"Why would your friend need such huge amount of money?" The mum asked surprisingly. Alex's mouth was shaking when he explained everything to his mother and how a poor trader, Mrs Luis is helpless and hopeless.
"You must be stupid to expect me to pay 1million naira for a girl who purposely accepted evil act!" The mum exclaimed.
"Please, mum" Alex begged.
"Get out of my sight now!" The mum ordered him, and Alex went out looking disappointed. Rose also went back to her laptop.
During the weekend, Mrs Luis went to the police station. She met the DPO in his office. She could see Nigerian Flag beside him and the photograph of president Muhamadu Buhari on the wall.
"Please, sir, I'm only able to raise 100 thousand naira. Please, release my daughter for me" Mrs Luis said in tears.
"Madam, do you know the gravity of the crime your daughter committed? Lesbianism is as worst as murder case. So we can't do anything about it" The DPO replied and tapped his fingers on the table. Mrs Luis cried and was pushed out of the office. Catherine who heard her voice from the cell started crying too.
Mr Doye also came with the sum of Four hundred thousand naira to beg, but he was also disappointed.
He went home looking angry. He sat on the cushion with his face up on the ceiling in thought. "I provided everything for Elizabeth. What didn't i give her to bring this shame to this family?" Tears ran down from one of his eyes.
"How did you go, honey?" The wife came out.
"They refused to take the money" The husband replied and the wife started crying.

A new week began, students came to school on that bright Monday morning looking neat and charming except some junior students who used rag like rob to tie their trouser due to they have lost their belt, therefore making their trouser to look like 'Papa dash me'. Some female students began to make-up due to the school was getting to an end.
"Hey, what is the meaning of that red oil on your lips?" Nath asked an SS1 female student.
"S.P, it's called wet-lips" She replied.
"What is it for" Nath moved closer to her.
"To attract people like you nah" The girl replied and ran way. Nath gave a weak smile.
Exam was over for the day, Rose and Karina was outside under a palm tree where they are normally known to be every resting period. They could see students kicking football up in the sky before starting a normal football. Rose told Karina what Alex told her mother so that Catherine will be released.
"You mean your brother told your mother to bring out 1million naira for her bale?" Karina was still surprise.
"Eahheh.. Are you still ignoring Nath?" Rose brought up another topic.
"We have broken up" Karina frowned her face.
"But i can see you still love him" Rose said, but Karina kept quiet.
"You know that Nath is the dream of every girl in this school, so better forgive and accept him back before it is too late" Rose encouraged her, yet, Karina made no comment.
The week was moving faster, Alex had not been himself. He never gave up. "My mum must provide that money" He concluded in his heart.
