THE REASON
On the day when Ugo was to propose to Angela, he had informed Lanre his best friend and Angela's three closest friends, Judith, Kemi and Kiki. They were the only ones aware if the proposal idea. However, Mrs Lambert had got to know somehow.
With the manner at which Ugo left her place the other day, she suspected something fishy was about to happen. She had been with him for the past 28 years and could predict his next movement or behaviour with above average accuracy. But this time around, she needed help for clarity.
Mrs. Lambert had inquired from her son's friend, Kunle. Kunle, who wasn't even aware of Ugo's Mum plan didn't find any reason not to divulge the idea of the proposal to her.
This was the information Mrs. Lambert had leveraged upon in ruining all of Ugo's plan. She had called Angela to threaten her against marrying her son. Though Angela didn't see the threat as something that should stop their love, she however knew that it had the potential of ruining their marriage if they were to go on.
"Why then start a fight you obviously can't finish?" She had asked herself.
With all these at hand and in her heart, she had refused to accept Ugo's proposal. However, Ugo wasn't aware that Angela's decline was Mum's cause. He was totally oblivious of this.
After crying out her eyes until it felt as if she had done the right thing, she cleaned herself up to get prepared for an interview she has the following day.
Angela studied accounting in the same university where Ugo had done civil engineering. Ugo was two years ahead of her. While Ugo had gotten a job in a construction firm immediately he graduated, Angela got none.
Not because she couldn't get none, as Ugo could have used his father's influence to get her. But she just didn't want to practice the profession just yet. Her relationship with Ugo had further even made her not to care about it for the time being, as he provides virtually everything she needed. But then she had realized, "If I must leave Ugo for good, I must also get a job to assist myself."
Unfortunately, she performed so poorly in that interview. She didn't prepare very well for it because of all that have been happening, and that was also her first time having an interview, since she did her youth service one year ago.
