 * GREEDYGUTS... SEASON ONE*

It was a sunny Saturday afternoon with cars passing by Mama Gina's three bedroom house. She looked stressed after a massive washing of her clothes and that of her two full grown daughters, Mildred and Estella.

With her legs stretched on a mini table, and a glass of wine in her hand, she stretched her neck to see who was at the gate.

Tunde, who is there? Mama Gina questioned the gate man.

Mum please it is Mildred's friend. Tunde responded from where he stood.

And what is she still doing in the sun? Ain't you allowing her in? Mama Gina almost yelled.

I'm sorry ma'am, I thought we agreed on informing you about any visitor before ushering him or her inn. Tunde explained.

Well, with the exception of my daughters friends. Just let her inn. She instructed.

Tunde hurriedly opened the gate and Adom drove inn.

She gently parked under a shade and brought out her fine fair thick legs from the car. Slowly, she got out, picked her hand bag and cat walked towards Mama Gina in the corridor.

Good afternoon mum. She beautifully greeted.

Hello Adom, how are you? Come have a seat and join me sip this expensive wine. Mama Gina offered.

Adom quickly pulled the chair closer to the table and served herself a glass of the 15% alcoholic wine.

She took a sip and smiled. Mum, this wine tastes too good. It might be expensive I guess. Adom complimented.

Sure it is my dear. You know your friend Mildred doesn't play around cheap things. She brought this home yesterday from a dinner date with her white fiance. Mama Gina narrated.

White fiance? I know nothing about this mum. Since when has she been going out with a white? Adom surprisingly questioned.

I think she will be the best person to explain to you. As I've been telling you, Mildred is destined for greatness and I can't wait to watch all that come to pass. Mama Gina boastfully responded.

Anyway mum, where is she? Adom inquired.

She's out again for a lunch date, she will be back soon. She answered.

And Estella? Adom inquired.

Estella is gone out for shopping. Her fiance asked her to change her wardrobe. Mama Gina bragged.

Wow, this sounds good. Anyway mama, guess what? Adom quizzed.

What my daughter? Mama Gina asked.

I have found a man who is willing to marry me. He is so rich. A business man, and a philanthropist. Adom narrated to her friend's mum.

Really? That sounds good my daughter, but I think you should first focus on school. Mama Gina advised.

Sure mum. He has promised sending me abroad to further my education after marriage. Adom explained.

Hmmmm. Adom, ever since you lost your parents, I've been here for you as a mother, and truly, I want the best for you. You've been friends with my daughter Mildred for a long time and I can't watch anything bad happen to you. Mama Gina began.

Marriage is not as simple as you see it. More especially when you don't know how secured his finances are, his business might collapse one day, and you will end up being a wife to a broke man. Something I never wish for my daughters. She continued.

Look at your beautiful self Adom. Do you think you deserve a broke man as a husband? No! You must get a man, who will love you not only with his heart, but with money as well. She added. Your so called newly found man might be rich today, but what will happen tomorrow is unknown. Just focus on your education and get a permanent rich man.

Adom, just look at how my husband died. You and I know what killed him, and it was nothing lesser than poverty. Yes poverty! Poverty kills faster than HIV AIDS. Since then, I vowed, never to allow any of my daughters marry a broke or business man who will one day be broke just as my late husband. Think through this, and slow down with the thoughts of marriage. Mama Gina intensively advised.

Whoa! Thanks a lot mum, will think through it. Adom reluctantly responded.

In few minutes through their conversation, Mildred returned from her supposed date.
