Chapter 80
“Good night Ethan” Irish cut him shut and got to her feet.
“I hope you have a good night rest” She said before walking out of the library with her eyes laced with tears.

“Wow!” Arusha jumped around the living room of their new apartment.
He was amazed with the work of the house decorator, he smiled happily as he checked out their new furnitures one after the other.
The ceilings were at least ten feet high in the living room and the dining room, the fan was circling lazily on the ceiling, moving little air but the living room was relatively cool.
There’s a fireplace too.
The apartment has three rooms and Arusha couldn’t wait to check his out.
He was so satisfied with the work of the lady. that he already started picturing himself all over the house.
Irish walked in with her luggage and was wowed too.
Although, the decorator had sent the picture to her but the pictures that was sent to her did no justice to this beautiful apartment.
Everything is exactly the way she wanted it.
Cool and adorable.
“I should go check out my room”Arusha said grabbing the cardboard box containing his books. He really wish there’ll be a shelf in his room.
If there isn’t, then that’s the only thing he’ll miss about his room in Singapore.
“Your room is the one in the middle, mum’s on the left and mine on the right” Irish said.
“Okay sis” Arusha grinned, walking towards a passage.
“I’ll check out the kitchen” Irish said after him.
“Okay” Arusha shouted as he located his room.
He pushed the door open and gently walked in.
“Woah” He beamed.
His bedroom was decorated in shiny brown satin with curtains to match the bedspread and furniture.
He dropped his cardboard box on the bed and perceived the fragrance of exotic flowers, he walked to the window and saw the view of a garden…
“Wow!” He screamed in excitement.
He never knew there was a garden in this house.
He’s so excited about it but he doesn’t know if the garden belongs to one of their neighbors and they probably won’t allow anyone in there.
The caretaker hadn’t mentioned they could use the garden, it must belong to someone who doesn’t like sharing it..
Well…. He’s glad he can be seeing it from the window any time he wants. He turned around to continue checking out his room.
Simple and fascinating to look at.
The colour’s cool and calm plus the room is quite cozy.
“Yes!” He shouted excitedly when he sighted a shelf.
He quickly started arranging his books in there.
“Arusha, let’s go get other things” Irish said outside his door.
She was satisfied with how the kitchen looked too.
“Have you checked your room?” Arushaasked.
“Not yet, we need to go offload the van, the driver is waiting.
“Ohh… okay”Arushasaid.
“I love my room! Damn!” He said excitedly to Irish as they walked out of the door.
“I’m glad you do” Irish smiled.
“Thanks for the shelf, thanks for everything ” Arusha said.
“I know you’ll definitely need a shelf for your books and i thought of bringing in my old one but I’ve been using it for years and it’s starting to creak”
“What are you going to do with our old furnitures?” Arusha asked as they packed inside. The driver helped them this time too.
“I’m going to sell them” Irish said.
“Ohh.. that’s fine then” Arusha said.
“And… don’t in any way disclose our new home address to anyone okay?”
“Okay sis” Arusha said and they walked outside to pack more luggage.

“The house is finally set, i can’t wait for mum to see it” Arusha smiled as they ate dinner.
They got back to Ethan’s house in the night, tired.
It was a whole lot of work than they had thought but they were glad everything is set.
“You’re sounding so happy like you badly want to leave here and won’t miss me when you leave ” Arin said sadly to Arusha.
Arusha’s eyes turn somber immediately, he hadn’t even thought of that. All he had being excited about was his new home.
Damn! He’s freaking gonna miss Arin and this house.
“Arin, i am going to miss you so much, I’m just so happy because i now have a new home which is lovelier and better than our home in Singapore, come here A” Arusha drew her close and she bursted into tears, hugging him tightly.
Arusha looked helpless and all he could do was gently rub her back.
Ethan sighed, he had stopped eating.
He thought Irish was the only one who’s in Arin’s good book, he never thought Arusha is now involved too.
“What are we gonna do?” Irish asked Ethan worriedly.
“And she mustn’t cry to sleep or she’ll fall sick” Ethan said unhappily, pushing his food away.
“Then we need to do something to make her happy before she sleeps” Irish said.
Ethan sighed, watching his crying daughter.
“You both will be going to school in the same car and be dropped in your houses when school is over, you’ll get to be seeing Arusha everyday that way. Carl will be picking Arusha at his house and you both will be going to school together okay?”
“Okay Dad” Arin sniffed and Arusha cleaned her tears with tissue.
What Ethan said seemed to have consoled her cause she was now smiling and eating her food. “That means we’ll have to change your car to a bigger one” Ethan said.
“Yes Dad, color pink” Arin said with a mouthful of apple pie.
“Of course, i wouldn’t have gotten any other color ” Ethan said.
He had been initially planning to get Arusha a car and a driver that’ll be picking him up to school and dropping him at home but Arin changed his plan.
“And we’ll get to do your arithmetic homework in the car” Arusha smiled to Arin who nodded.

Irish walked out of Arin’s room after putting her to sleep.
She should also go to her room through the adjourning door but she’s feeling so thirsty after reading Arin four bedtime stories.
She needs to get a glass cup of water from the kitchen before she goes to bed.
Two bodyguards walked behind her, Max and the other bodyguard was on shift.
“Hey!” She heard behind her and turned.
She already knew it was Ethan.
