A Settled Scores
Marvel has been working with Mc Donald's Group of companies for a very long time now after he has been through with his higher institution. He has always remained faithful as usual and dedicated to her job. With his act of faithfulness to her job, her company wants to send her to observe Saint Patrick's day which is taking place in Ireland. It was truly an award from her boss for her dedication to work. The feast would be coming up anytime and which is not far-fetched from now. It is two months from now. Marvel was so excited and with her continuity, you can truly see the happiness in her.
After five days, Clara, who happened to be her friend, was not talking to her any longer. Marvel kept on wondering what the problem might be. She has no idea what was wrong with her friend and what she has done to her friend to deserve sobbing. Marvel decided to call Clara to ask what was the problem but to her surprise, did not utter a word. I'm extremely surprised and now you could not tell me what I have done to you to deserve this silence. Marvel told Clara.
Marvel did not mind but kept on pestering Clara to tell her what she had done to her. One day, a Cloe who is one of the workers in the company called marvel to relate to her what is making Clara grow angry. Cloe told marvel that "the reason your friend is angry with you and does not want to talk to you is not far fetched. It was just because of the feast to witness Reverend Saint Patrick's day I'm Ireland. She thought our boss would give her the opportunity instead of you. This is why she is angry." Marvel was touched to have heard this and didn't want to believe it until she heard it from her friend.
Meanwhile, the day for the feast is drawing closer and the hatred between marvel and Clara keeps on increasing extremely just like a non-stoppable fire. Marvel was ever ready to attend the feast. She was having a lot of gold just because of this feast just to grace it to the fullest. After some days, she had already saved a tangible amount to buy some shamrocks which she can use to decorate her house and to buy some things for her siblings as well as her friend Clara who was having grudges with her.
Pato was someone who has been saving all day by dumping some money in his lot of gold after hearing about the upcoming feast. He has been living in Denmark, a country very close to Ireland. He never wants to miss this day and was saving greatly for it and besides, he has enough that can take him down to Ireland and make him comfortable. He has teamed up with his friend to go together just to witness the feast and to celebrate with the people of Ireland. His friend's name was Joe. Joe was okay financially just like Pato.
Now, the D-Day has arrived and Marvel was ready to go from Nigeria to Ireland sponsored by his company. She was to go with her boss as well as the assistant manager of her company. Clara was very happy to have travelled by air as this would be her first time entering an airline. Before leaving, Marvel tried, by all means, to make her friend happy but Clara was not ready to listen.
Marvel was also happy just because she is going to see different kinds of people as well as the elves. She has learned that the elves always grace parties in Ireland. She has not for once seen them except in movies. When they got to Ireland, Marvel was looking just like a novice and someone who saw her would know from the way she behaved that she was a novice. So, they went to a hotel where they had booked online where she had to get herself freshen up to see the fresh air of Ireland. When it was the D-Day, which happened to be the day they arrived, she observed that everywhere had been filled up with different types of decorations both in red and in green colours. She saw the elves carrying shamrocks of green colours to decorate the city. She was surprised just because she has been thinking of buying some of those shamrocks. One of the elves aww the way she was gazing at the shamrocks and decided to give her some for free. This made her so happy.
Meanwhile, Pato and his friend arrived safely and also went to the hotel they lodged to freshen up. They later went round the city to observe what was going on and the way they celebrated their feast. It was a great one, and a day we can always remember. Pato said to Joe. After a long walk in the city, Pato told Joe he was hungry. They both decided to go to a nearby eatery to fill up their empty stomach. Marvel on the other hand was on her way to that same hotel to eat as she was hungry. Pato became mute at a spot and could not move his legs. He was feeling the heat under the cold weather of Ireland without moving an inch. Joe noticed and asked him what the problem was. He could not utter a word, instead of telling Joe that "I'm finished". Marvel moved close to Pato to confirm her doubt. So, it's you. After causing me pain, you ran away and you thought we would not see each other again. Isn't it? Here we are. I still have a record of what you have done to me and will never forget it. She said to Pato.
She continued her words to Pato "I gave you money to get me a Visa card and then you diverted it to yourself. Now I can make you pay for what you have done. Do you think it is easy to have pots of gold? I'm going to show you what you will never believe and what no one has ever done to you before."
Pato began to beg Marvel for forgiveness. He called his friend, Joe and Marvel's manager as well as the assistant manager to help him beg Marvel for forgiveness. He said to everyone and Marvel that "I knew I have done what I suppose not to do and what can cause me to prison, but I'm deeply sorry. I will ensure to give you triple of what I had taken from you. My heart has been in jeopardy since all this while and I thought to myself that I hope to see you one day. I just knew that a day like this would come when I would be able to apologize for the wrong I have done to you. Please, forgive me."
Marvel responded with tears, and after many apologies from Pato and her boss, I have forgiven you and I cannot take anything from you. Deep in my heart, I have sincerely forgiven you. Pato responded "now I can be able to move freely and can be able to come to Nigeria boldly without sneaking.
It was a great tour and Marvel bought many items for her siblings and her friend, Clara. On getting home after the feast, Clara told her the reason she was angry and then, they settled.
