CHAPTER NINE
THE RECONCILIATION
Kunle and Bisi became committed to their academic work again, and were thus able to make up for the carry-overs they had in the second semester. So, they moved onto the third semester. However, for Kunle who was studying Medicine, it was not easy at all, as he frequently had to borrow relevant text books from the school's library. At the end of the third semester, the siblings, with diligence and God's favor made the best results in their departments. The British government thus moved them back into their apartments and re-enlisted their names for the regular monthly allowance.
Mr. Taiwo had not heard from his children for a long time and was getting really perturbed.
"What could have happened to my children? This is strange and unlike them. Maybe they
are planning to send me a bigger package this time. I still need to call them though"
As these thoughts ran through Mr. Taiwo's mind, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in, the door is open" Replied Mr. Taiwo anxiously. It was the postman.
"Good morning sir. I have a letter for you. Here it is sir. I'll need you to sign here sir" The postman said as he dipped his hand into his mailbag and handed over an envelope to Mr. Taiwo, who then signed on a note pad the postman had asked him to sign on.
"Thank you very much. God bless you" Mr Taiwo said as he received the envelope from the man.
"Thank you sir. I'll be on my way now" The postman said before leaving the room. Kunle had written a letter to his father, telling him all that had happened and why there had been an unsual delay in cash transfer. Kunle also advised his father to apologize to his mother and put right that which has gone wrong. Mr. Taiwo felt sorry for his mistakes and was ashamed for failing in his responsibilities as a husband and father, and for causing his children much pain. He was therefore determined to make amends.
