The Meeting.

The Meeting! (Cont'd)

A familiar voice in the car brought him out of his reverie. It was one of the children.
'' Dad, where are we now?'' Tola's voice rang out.
'' Don't mind him daddy, I've told him that we are at the Redemption Camp.'' Bayo said.
'' Both of you are wrong,'' intoned their mother, Funmi. '' We are now in Ogere.''
The two children do not know much outside Lagos state where the had spent all their days, including the previous family holidays.
'' Isn't that Grandma's hometown?'' queried Bayo, the younger of the two children.
'' Yes, it is and that was where I grew up before your Grandma's death,'' answered Dejo for the first time since they left home over an hour ago.
'' How I wish Grandma was still alive, so that we can visit the Ogere town.''
They never knew their paternal grandmother, who had died since their father was a teenager.
'' I will take you all there, one day,'' Dejo said. '' I still know one or two people and places there,'' he concluded.
'' Maybe we plan towards next year's holiday.'' Funmi said.
'' What do you say to that Sweetheart?''
'' Let's see as it goes.''
Then, the children minded their busines and left him to face his driving.

'' I am thinking of the children, you know,'' said Dejo.
'' Same here dear. But Madam Ikeolu will take good care of them. Besides, Dayo isn't a kid, he will take care of his sister.'' Funmi replied.
'' I am just a little worried. But very soon, he will heading to the university.''
With that, he rested the case to tackle the remaining distance between Ogere and Ibadan where they will have a stopover before heading for the Oriental Hotel, Akure, where they are booked into the family suite.
