She clicked the message sent, " I enjoyed myself today with you guys, I would like to take you out for lunch on Wednesday as a thank you for allowing me to crash your outing". She texted back "Yeah sure i would like that. Goodnight".
'See you on Wednesday then, Goodnight too.' Recce texted back. Both of them had flashbacks of events that had happened since there first encounter.
' What a woman!' Recce muttered
*****Mika's apartment*******
He was still asleep and it was already noon. He partied all night with his new girlfriend and friends he was still intoxicated. He had a knock on his door severally but he didn't respond then the door was unlocked from outside.
Mika! Mika!. His mum Catherine shouted while approaching his bedroom, she went in. Opened the curtains of the windows and the sun crept in. Mika wake up! She said why are you asleep until now is it because of the shameless woman Svetlana that you drink too much nowadays. I didn't like her for you from the beginning and i had warned you she wasn't the woman for you and to top it all she has a son. Am going to make her pay for putting you through all this. Mum stop! its not her fault. Mika said.
While following his mother to the Living Room. 'Get your life back together or i will stop supporting you'. She said while storming out of the apartment.
Mika was the only child and his mother is a renowned fashion designer woman, nobody mess with her. She still treats him like a small boy and likes to gets involved in Mika's personal life. She even pays for the apartment he is residing in.
'Svetlana has stopped calling me nowadays i wonder what she is up to this days.' Mika thought. He took a shower and he left for the gym. He found his friend Recce there. "Hi! long time, nowadays we don't see much of you almost everywhere."Mika asked.
I have been busy with work and am out. I need to get back to the hotel. Recce responded. And he left. ' Why is he behaving like that, he does not want to catch up as usual."Mika was left puzzled.
Recce decided on his way back to work he will pass through the hospital to check up on his grandfather. His grandfather was recuperating, and there was no need for any one to be at the hospital all the time, his mother had just left.
Grandpa ! How are you feeling today ? He greeted him while at the door.
"Am okay! I can't wait to get back home, the food here is so awful and am being monitored all the time. I want my freedom back".
But the doctors want what's best for you and we too. Recce replied. You have to seriously start taking care of yourself.
He ignored what Recce was trying to say.
Did you think about what we discussed the other day seriously? Grandpa asked.
"Yes i did but that's not fair at all . For you to get into my personal life like that. Am sure father had time to choose mum as his wife without you interfering". Recce Said. Does it mean you agreed to my terms ? Or you don't even have a girlfriend? Grandpa asked.
Do i have a choice on the matter and i didn't say that i have no girlfriend because am seen someone. His grandfather looked at him suspiciously, " How come i have never seen or heard of her".
'I wanted to keep it a secret until the right time comes'. replied Recce.
Grandpa i have to leave now i was just passing by briefly am going to the hotel. Bye!. Then he left.
His grandpa called his lawyer. " I want you to hire a private detective to follow my grandson, i want to know if it's true he has a girlfriend or he is lying and who it is". and update me immediately.
'I will do just that Mr. Nicholai.' The lawyer answered.
Days passed it was on Wednesday an Recce called Svetlana to remind her about there lunch date and where they will meet. Later during lunch Svetlana arrived at the hotel and found Recce had already arrived. He smiled down into her eyes and kissed her on the cheek . He dragged the seat next to him for her to sit.
Svetlana smiled.' I love the food at this hotel its one of the best, but its been a while since i came here.'
Well, i love the food here too and the wine, He said. How is my little champ doing? 'Oh- his alright.'
He smiled, tell me more about you?
Svetlana, who was drink her wine, said i have a one parent my mom , a younger sister and my son. I own the Philips pharmaceutical company, yeah that's me.
She smiled, enough about me, what about you?
'Am an only child, i have my mum and grandfather, my dad died while i was young. And i own the hotel we first met. That wraps up everything about me.' Recce said
If you don't mind me asking where is Kith's father?
Well i was in my final year at the university of Adelaide studying Medicine, when i got pregnant. We were going out on a date that evening and i had just found out that i was expectant ,then i decided to tell him, at least i thought he was happy with the news because he excused himself to get a bottle of wine we celebrate but he never came back. Svetlana blotted the tears that blurred her vision.
' You haven't even heard from him since that day?' Recce handed her a tissue.
Svetlana's temper flared. ' Not really. i have been raising him all by myself.
He held her hand .
Am sorry about everything. He didn't push further on the subject because he saw how it affects her.
Little did they know they were been photographed from outside by the detective that was hired by Recce's grandfather to follow him everywhere he goes.
