Blessing and Victoria were known for a few weeks as the rich and crazy teenagers all over the town because they were balling with Blessing's father's money. The money in Blessing's father's bank account was much more than Blessing thought and now that Blessing has his father’s Atm card, he and Victoria lavish the money on the account.
Blessing and Victoria visited clubs and many other places with Victoria's friends as both of them were taking over the expenses. The nights were restless for them and they kept partying for weeks living like the world was going to come to an end and they all had to live the best they could.
On the other hand, Blessing's Father has been visiting Blessing's home to make up with Blessing and get him to forgive him or maybe even see Victoria who would help him pleaded to Blessing but Blessing and Victoria hadn’t been around in the house for a while.
Blessing's father had to put everything behind for a while and wasn’t ready to leave until he got Blessing to forgive him so he had to stay around Blessing for as long as he could. Blessing's Father continues to visit Blessing's home to get to meet him again or maybe Victoria.
After a night of non-stop partying, Blessing and Victoria return home in the morning mildly inebriated from the alcohol they intake. Victoria and Blessing were about to enter their room when they saw Blessing's father seated next to the doorstep and was asleep but the current situation they were in made them not to mind him. Blessing and Victoria went to their room and straight off to their beds.
Minutes after Blessing and Victoria went to their beds and dozed off, Blessing's father woke up and saw their door ajar. Blessing's father walked into the room and saw both Blessing and Victoria soundly asleep on their beds. Blessing's father sat down next to Blessing and stared at him with a lot of thought running through his mind.
Blessing’s father thought of how hard it would be for Blessing to survive after he abandoned him but he was glad that Blessing survived everything and was doing well with the help of Victoria.
It was afternoon and Blessing and Victoria were still sound asleep. Blessing and Victoria were woken up by the aroma of food they were perceiving from the bed they lay on. The aroma of the food they were perceiving was so strong that made Blessing and Victoria unable to continue to sleep then Blessing whose eyes remained closed and remained on the bed said weakly to Victoria “where the hell did you get that kind of food, Victoria. The aroma is driving me crazy”.
Victoria was confused to hear Blessing say that because she was just about to ask Blessing where Blessing got the food she was perceiving the aroma. Victoria where she lay with her eyes closed, said weakly to Blessing “I don’t think it is right to ask me where I got the food you went to buy. The food smell nice though”.
“I have been in my bed all this while so there was no way I could get such food. Do you think I would be asking you where you got the food if I was the one that bought it?” said Blessing weakly to Victoria.
“The food also doesn’t seem to be around here. I am also not the one that bought the food” said Victoria weakly to Blessing.
“Then where the hell did the aroma of the food come from?” asked Blessing.
“I think you should go check that” said Victoria to Blessing.
“Why don’t you go?” said Blessing to Victoria.
Then Blessing and Victoria heard a voice say to them “why don’t you both get up and come eat?”.
Hearing the voice made Blessing and Victoria open their eyes and sit up on the bed fearfully to know who was in their room. Blessing and Victoria were surprised to see it was Blessing's father and Blessing exclaimed “Dad!”.
Blessing and Victoria took a sigh of relief when they saw that it was Blessing's father but they also saw that Blessing's father was having a can of beer and was seated on a chair in front of a small table. Blessing and Victoria also saw that there were polythene nylon filled with things and different takeaway food on the table, and two other chairs were facing the table.
Blessing and Victoria were surprised to see Blessing's father, a table, chairs, and the other things they saw in their room because they didn’t have a chair and a table, and that made them realize that it was Blessing's father who bought and brought the food.
Seeing they were surprised about all the things they were seeing and were just staring at him, Blessing's father said to Blessing and Victoria “are you just going to continue staring at me or will you come join me?”.
Even if Blessing and Victoria didn’t want to join Blessing's father, the aroma of the takeaway food on the table was tempting and the both of them could be seen swallowing their saliva. Blessing and Victoria don’t know when they jumped out of their beds and went to sit on the chairs close to the table.
Blessing and Victoria didn’t say anything to Blessing's father when they had a seat at the table and faced the food on the table straight away because they were both famished which Blessing's father didn’t mind.
Blessing and Victoria were about to devour the food when Blessing stopped which made Victoria also stop then Blessing said to his father “this doesn’t mean we are good right?”.
“Yeah. So just eat. Alcohol makes one hungry” said Blessing's father.
Hearing that made Blessing and Victoria realize that Blessing's father knew about their drinking which made them look down and ashamed. Victoria said shyly to Blessing's father “it is not what you think, sir”.
“You both are young so this is your time to do whatever you want. You know, the time to live wild. I was also a party crasher and more of a drug addict when I was about you guys' age. I party a lot even attended parties I wasn’t invited to. I live my life to the fullest then. So I understand you guys” said Blessing's Father.
Blessing was surprised to hear his father say that while Victoria smiled then Victoria said to Blessing's father “thank you for the food then”.
“But you guys should take it easy though” said Blessing’s father.
“Yes sir” said Victoria.
Blessing and Victoria were about to eat when Blessing's father took out two small bottles of hangover-drugged of the polythene nylon and placed them on the table before saying to both of them “after eating, you both should take the hangover drug, you will need it”.
Victoria thanked Blessing's father for everything while Blessing started to eat without caring much.
While Blessing and Victoria eat, Blessing's father feasts on the canned beers then Victoria asks Blessing's father “are you the ones that got the chairs and table?”.
“I got them for you both. I think it wouldn’t be nice if you didn’t have a chair and table in your room. Hope the three chairs are enough though?” asked Blessing's father.
Victoria wanted to answer Blessing's father but Blessing cut in saying to his father “you should have asked us if we want them, and we haven’t said we would accept the chairs and table”.
“And why wouldn't we accept the chairs and table?” Victoria surprisingly asked Blessing.
Then Blessing's father said “it is okay if you guys don’t want the chairs and table, I can trash them out”.
“Don’t mind him, sir. We want them, sir” said Victoria to Blessing's father.
After Blessing and Victoria were done eating, Blessing's father left their room then Victoria talked to Blessing. Victoria told Blessing that it was high time he forgave his father and that he could see how hard his father was trying to get him to forgive him. Blessing said nothing to Victoria and then Victoria left him.
The next day very early in the morning, Blessing and Victoria were woken up by Blessing's father. Blessing was annoyed when he was woken up by his father because he wasn’t ready to get up from bed then Blessing's father told them that he was talking them out and that they should get ready.
Victoria was glad that Blessing's father would be taking them out while Blessing said he wasn’t going and decided to sleep back but then Victoria went to trouble Blessing until Blessing agreed to go out. Then Blessing and Victoria went to get ready while Blessing's father waited in the car outside.
Blessing's father took Blessing and Victoria to fun and amazing places so he could make Blessing’s and Victoria’s day. They even went on to watch movies in the cinema and a game place to play games.
At first, Blessing was just being to himself on the outing which his father noticed but could do nothing while Victoria was free to Blessing's father so she could have a nice time. Blessing's father thought of what he could do to make Blessing happy and enjoy the outing so he tried to talk to Blessing which Blessing didn’t allow. Blessing's father also asked Blessing where he would like to go but Blessing did not answer.
Blessing later decided to enjoy the outing after he saw his father felt sad that he took them out but still wasn’t able to make Blessing happy. Blessing had to make his father realize how it feels to be avoided before he decided to enjoy himself on the outing.
Blessing's father was the happiest at the moment that he saw Blessing enjoying their outing with Victoria. Blessing's father was glad that he was to make Blessing happy and have a great time which is one step ahead to making Blessing forgive him for his mistakes.
Blessing, Victoria, and Blessing's father return to Blessing's and Victoria's home by night after the whole day of fun and doing crazy and funny things. They all had a great time during the day.
Blessing's father walked Victoria and Blessing to their room before he decided to leave but then Blessing told his father to wait and walked to his front. Blessing stood in front of his father staring into his eyes to see how much he was sorry and wanted his forgiveness then Blessing said to his father “I can not say I would forgive just in a day but I can see how much you are trying to make up for your mistakes and those years. I can also see how much you want my forgiveness. You hurt me so much, Dad, but I would give you a chance. A chance to be the father you promised to be and then we will see if I can forgive you”.
At the moment when Blessing's father heard Blessing say that to him, he felt a heavy burden lifted off his chest and felt he had just been set free. Blessing's father was extremely glad to hear that and he didn’t even know when he hugged Blessing and told Blessing thank you.
Seeing Blessing and his father hugged, Victoria smiled happily then Blessing said to his father “I have stolen your atm and money though”, as they continued to hug.
“I know you do and I don’t care. You can have all of that” said Blessing's father with a smile.
