Marriage Proposal - Episode 15
International Lawyer
With Uche’s response Mrs.
Young knew half of her problem had just been solved. The other half, was to get
to convince Beatrice since she has succeeded in convincing Uche. All these
while, Beatrice had no single idea all of the plans made towards her.
“How do I go about this?”
Mrs. Young thought to herself.
“Yes, my friend . Am
sure she would be interested and willing to assist too. This would make
everything easier” She kept on thinking while muttering those words to herself
aloud.
She had planned to convince
Mrs. Taiwo, Beatrice mum and get her to convince her daughter too, just like
she has convinced her son.
Of course Mrs. Taiwo had a
‘thing’ for Uche also. She felt with her daughter’s prestige, her perfect match
would just be another prestigious personality in terms of academic achievements
and family background. Uche seems to fit this standard.
Uche had bagged a First
Class from one of the private Universities in the South-Western part of
Nigeria. His family also has a long history with the Taiwo’s. “Who else would
be a more perfect match for my daughter?” Mrs. Taiwo said to Mrs. Young, who
had just finished narrating her own part of the plans.
“The only problem is it’s
very difficult to convince Beatrice on issues like this. Even on ordinary
matters, it’s difficult, Much more something very
sensitive like this.
But all the same, I will talk to her” Mrs. Taiwo said to her.
Although their plans were
still in the process, they however found reasons to celebrate for the future.
“Wale, please get us a bottle of wine from the fridge” Mrs. Taiwo said to her
youngest son who just walked into them while discussing. “This calls for celebration”
She added facing Mrs. Young.
In the evening that day,
when Beatrice returned back home, Mrs. Taiwo said “Omo mi, you are
welcome. Hope you had a great day at work”.
“Yes mum, I did” Beatrice
replied as she started to put off her jacket right there in the sitting room,
signifying that she had a very long day.
Beatrice who just came into
Nigeria three weeks ago had already been secured a job for, in the Taiwo and
Associate Chambers in Lagos, where her dad was the Chairman. Her study as an
international lawyer had become needful to the country. Her father, a Senior
Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), who have always wanted her daughter to take after
her, found this as a thing of pride and joy. He quickly got her a placement in
his firm to compensate her years of hard work in the Oxford school of Law.
