A security guard opened the both gate widely, standing beside the gate at his left hand side and looking at blank car driving inside the compound and with Nigeria’s flag pinned on the car’s body. The security guard closed the gate after few minutes, faced back and looking at the car parking beside the other cars that were there.

The house was APD&D party house, and their logo was put boldly at the entrance and with the full name of the party. One of the back doors of the blank car opened, and Adebesi Adelana got down from the car with a small bag in his hand. He put the bag on top of the car, adjusted the hand of his cloth, rolled it very well and carried the bag back.

He was wearing a very beautiful and expensive Agbada (Nigeria’s man native cloth) and wearing a cover shoe with it.

He walked out from the car that was beside his car, and going inside the party house. The door opened for him as he got to the entrance door, and entering to the house. The party secretary greeted him with honor as he entered, he replied her with low voice and faced his right direction and walking along the corridor.

He stopped walking at his got to the first office there, put his hand at the handle of the door and opened the door widely. He entered into the room, met his God Father sitting on the chair and drinking tea.

“Good afternoon Sir!” He said with low voice, drawn the chair out and sat down on it.

“Good afternoon Adelana, how are you doing?” The man asked with low voice, and looking at him as he was sitting and distance himself from the table.

“I am good, and congratulations on the swear in of your party chairman. The man that all the party want!” Adebesi said with low voice, and giggles.

“Thank you! Are you here to see me or just stop by to greet me?” The man asked, as he carried tea cup and looking at him.

“I am here to tell you that I am leaving the party, not permanent but still coming back!” He said with loud voice.

“I am surely coming back, because my sweat and my effort can’t go in vain. I am coming back to pack my wages, but now I can’t be in this party anymore”

“Why are you leaving? Because of what?” The old man said with low voice as he put the cup down on the table.

“You don’t have to go at all. Your post as vice party chairman is still there, accept it and lets it go. We own this party!” Adelana looked at him.

“I am not here for your talk, but to say this. You have decided to go for money, so I don’t need any advice from you again God Father” he opened the zip in his bag and brought out some papers, he zipped the bag and dropped the papers on the table.

“That are the papers that I am leaving your party, but I am still coming back. I know that you have made a wrong choice with the man that you choose, and then I will be here to help you amend it when his money can’t work again” He said with low voice, held his bag very well and got up.

“I am going, and I will be watching, and waiting for the time every member of this party especially you God Father will be running around for the name of your party not to spoil” The man said with loud voice, and took a step closer to the God father.

“You may not know now Sir, but I know that you have made a wrong choice!” He said with low voice.

“Hmm! Well! Good bye God Father” Put the bag in his aim and going out, the old man was just looking at him and that kind of behavior wasn’t new to him, that is politics’ life. Sound of the door opened, and closed after few seconds.

The man keeps walking along the corridor as he came out from the office, just going straight and adjusting the hands of the cloth as it was drawing down from his shoulder. He turned to his left hand side, and at the corridor that was there and keep walking.

He stopped walking at his got to Party Chairman’s office and the name written at the entrance; he put his hand on the handle of the door, wanted to press it down when the door opened and two ladies came out from the room with files in their hands.

“Good afternoon Sir!” They greeted him with honor as they were coming out, he just looked at them without saying a word and going inside.

“Adelana! It’s you, and so good to see you here” Somia’s uncle said with low voice, the man didn’t say a just looking around the office

“Have your seat now, nothing changes in the office and this is not your first time here” Somia’s uncle said because of the way he was looking round the office.

“New party Chairman! I can see how suitable this place is for you, and how the fit you are on the chair!” The man said with low voice, and keeps standing.

“Thank you very much!” Somia’s uncle said with low voice, and looking like a gentle man.

“Are you here to resume to your post so to run the affair of this party together, you seat is still empty as you can see!” The man looked at the seat at his right hand as Somia’s uncle said so.

“Oh! But well, that chair has been forbidden for me. I can’t sit on it anymore” The man said with low voice.

“I am just here to greet you as the party chairman, and to tell you that I am leaving this party for a while but I am still coming back!” The man said with low voice.

“Okay! So when are you coming back, or no time yet?” Somia’s uncle said with low voice.

“I am coming back after your downfall!” Somia’s uncle busted out into a loud laugh and looking at the man.

“I know you too well Umar Abubakar, and I too is not the kind of person to look down on!” Somia’s uncle giggles, and just looking at him.

“Meet me in the front!” He said like proverb, and faced Somia’s uncle very well.

“Enjoy the post for a while Umar Abubakar!” He said with low voice, and going out. Somia’s uncle didn’t say a word just smiling and looking at him going out, sound of the door closed.

Ashar’s car drove inside their compound, and the driver packed. Ashar got down from the car, and he was looking somehow, he wasn’t happy at all as Raheem had remind him that the wedding is in two weeks now and his mood had changed.

He was just coming from the hospital, and it had been evening already. It was he and Raheem that left the hospital at the same time.

“Welcome my Son! Where have you been, I have called your phone several times?” His mother said with smile as Ashar entered the living room.

“Something happened so I left the company and went there, just coming from that place!” He said with low voice, and wanted to be going upstairs.

“Come back my Son! Your suit and our clothes have arrived today, they are so beautiful” Their mother said with smiles and so happy, Ashar was just looking at her.

“Come with me to the store, and come and check them----“

“Please mom! Let the clothes be, I am not in the mood for all these!” Ashar said with low voice.

“What happened my Son? Your wedding is in two weeks, so you have to be happy and not like this at all!”

“Can everyone stop remembering me maybe the wedding is in two weeks or few days? Off course I know!” He said with loud voice, and that was what he didn’t want to hear.

“I need a rest Mom, please later!” He turned back and going upstairs.

“Maybe you will stop going to work, because I don’t understand this look on your face!” His mother said with loud voice.

Sound of the door opened closed. Ashar entered into his room, and fell straight on the bed. Put his phone beside him and put his face on the pillow and thinking.

He took the phone after few minutes, and dialing Raheem’s number.

“Hello Ashar!” Raheem was in the living room with his elder Sister, she had been living with Basit’s father just came to greet them.

“I am canceling the wedding, I can’t hold it anymore!” Ashar said with low voice.

“Ashar! Ashar!! Why don’t you try I listen to me---“Raheem was talking when Ashar cut him off.

“Just call you to let you know, I am going to do it!” Ashar hanged up, and holding the phone with his two hands.

“What happened?” Raheem’s sister asked.

“Ashar want to cancel the wedding!” Raheem replied with low voice.

“That can never be possible. Call him let me talk to him!” Raheem’s sister said with low voice, and Raheem started calling Ashar back.

“Hello Ashar! Sis want to talk to you!” Raheem said with low voice, and put the phone on speaker.

“Hello Ma!” Ashar said with low voice.

“Good evening Ashar! Ashar, I can understand what you are facing right now but I just want you know that what you said now can never be possible!”

“What did you mean Ma?” Ashar asked with low voice.

“Perfect Billionaire’s weeding can never be canceled, it can only be postponed. If you say it out that you want to cancel it, you will just make the case worst like serious worst!” Ashar breathe in, and looking sad.

“My advice is that, anything you want to do let it be after the wedding. Even don’t let anyone know about your plan, and then it may work out” Raheem’s sister said with low voice.

“I must do something before the wedding, after the wedding too will be difficult and I don’t want to lose Somia. After the wedding now, Iqmat has legally be my wife and then it will be difficult to just leave her because family will still interfere and keep extending the years still I will lose Somia in the hand of another man” Ashar said with low voice.

“I want to do something now!” Ashar said with loud voice.

“But there is nothing you can do, or what do you know that you can do?” Ashar kept silent and unable to give reply to the question that Raheem’s sister asked him.

“Just calm down, and let see how it will goes after the wedding!”

“Yes! Let see what Iqmat wants to do, everyone understand but still you just have to calm down for you not to make everything worst as sis said!” Raheem said with low voice.

“Perfect Billionaire’s wedding can never be canceled, even none of our father have power over it. So you just have to calm down!” Ashar dropped the phone on the bed with anger and as Raheem’s elder sister was still talking, and his look had changed.
