“Alright Girls, when and where do we meet? I suggest tomorrow night here at my place or should we all go over to Jasmine’s place?” I asked quickly assenting to the suggestion to move the Reconciliatory Meeting to another day so as not to p*ss off my friends. In my opinion when there is a conflict it is always best to resolve it as quickly as possible so it doesn’t become a cankerworm that infests the relationship and eventually destroys it.
“At last someone has the f**king sense to bring this shenanigan to an end, either way I do not really care. I just feel we shouldn’t waste the night over flogging this issue, frankly speaking to borrow Bola’s words I am bored, bored, bored!” Zara finished in spiteful glee. “Ok Tobs, seeing how this is bothering you, we will meet tomorrow at 7.00pm at my place, ladies please clear your calendar. I am sure I would have thought of a ‘suitable punishment’ for Kaycee by then” Jasmine said dryly. Thank God they all agreed. All through the exchange Kaycee did not utter a word. When they left Kaycee remained on her seat and still said nothing. “Kaycee dear what are you thinking,”
I asked, gently placing my hand on her shoulder and in the process jolting her to the present. “What if they won’t forgive me? I particularly cherish Jasmine’s friendship. She is a kind soul and has been there for me on more occasions than I care to remember,” Kaycee said in a shaky voice as the tears flowed freely. “Jasmine will forgive you.” I said gently. I sent a message to Rick that Kaycee was in a bad state and so won’t be able to go out. Thankfully he didn’t show up. We met at Jasmine’s House the next day as agreed, Jasmine decided the suitable ‘punishment’ for Kaycee is for us all to visit a Karaoke Bar that night and boy was it crazy. It turned out to also be a striptease club! Kaycee maintained a stoic silence all through, determined to endure whatever was thrown at her without complaining, impressive if you ask me. I wasn’t comfortable with the whole setting but I refrained from rushing to my friend’s aid so I don’t embarrass her and she earns the respect of the girls. Kaycee was also made to do a song, thank God she was allowed to choose and she did a Whitney Houston. All three of them; Jasmine, Bola and Zara did a number at the dancing pole while Kaycee and I looked on. To be frank I was glad when the evening was over. Warien Rose Foundation started a Group called ‘Women Active In Politics’ main goal is to support Women in Leadership; either by Appointment or by Election. It has been a roller coaster ride leading up to the elections as we had a few Women contesting in this just concluded election in Nigeria. One of our Women won a place at the Lagos State House of Assembly. At the moment we welcome; HE for SHEs and as many Women as are interested in supporting Women. We have no political affiliations so our Members cut across all Political Parties. I am super excited about this and all we will succeed in achieving together. April is my Birthday month, apparently the girls tried to reach me a few days ago to discuss it but you know how it is sometimes when you are trying to do some stuff and for some inexplicable reason you are unable to do it. I tried writing, oh yes I have been trying to finish a book on Relationship but somehow never find the time to complete it. I thought the short Easter break will afford me the opportunity to do just that but I was lazy about it. It was an extra special Easter for me as my Father visited. Chief Sunday Warien Anaughe, yes he is the Warien in the Warien Rose Foundation. My Father is a special Man in every sense of the word. At 96 years, he looks 60 and my family and I feel blessed that we have him with us. My friends finally decided to do something unusual for my birthday.
