Chapter 157 Travelling In Style

• On their way to the airport, Mark said, “Dad, Serene’s friends have organized a surprise baby shower for her at His Glory hotel this coming Saturday. So, they invited Mrs Johnson to the baby shower and she is looking forward to being part of this event. We promised Mr Johnson that we would ask you to allow her to enter the hotel just one time.” His father was still holding a grudge against Mrs Johnson for bullying and humiliating his daughter in love at James Engagement Banquet, but he didn’t want to be petty. He looked at Patrick and said, “what do you think, Patrick?” Patrick was kind-hearted. He replied with a smile on his face, “Don’t forget that James saved your daughter in love when Terry attacked her. I think he will appreciate seeing his mother being part of this event.” Timothy didn’t utter a word. He took out his phone from his jacket and called His Glory hotel Manager. He told him to allow Mrs Johnson to enter the hotel on Saturday. Mark thanked his father and his father-in-law. He knew that it wasn’t an easy decision since his father would never forgive Mrs Johnson. Everyone knew that Victoria was his bottom line.
• When they arrived at the OR Tambo airport, Mark parked his car, then they got out of the car with their luggage. Bongiwe parked her car, then they walked together to the Departure, Bongiwe’s husband was standing by the door waiting for them. Bongiwe smiled sweetly at him, and her husband hugged her. Then she said, “Honey, thank you for bringing my luggage. Timothy has been kind to offer me to travel with them in their Private Jet.” Bheki Gcwabe was a university Professor. He smiled back at his wife, and then he looked at his friend Timothy and said, “Timothy, long time no see. Are you well with your family?” Timothy was beaming and replied, “we are well the Lord has been faithful to us. It’s been a while since I saw you. How is life treating you?” Then he hugged his friend and Bheki Gcwabe replied, “the Lord has been good to us too Timothy, the children are doing well.” Timothy smiled brightly and said, “I’m over the moon I’m going to be a Grandpa soon. The Lord has blessed the Anthony family with twins.” His friend was happy for him and replied, “Congratulations my friend, the Lord is faithful. My wife told me that you have a brand new son-in-law.” Timothy laughed out loud and said, “my family is expanding, Tamara is engaged to Zion White. Patrick, this is my friend Bheki Gcwabe, and this is Patrick Lewis, my daughter in love’s father. You have met my eldest son, Mark.” Bheki Gcwabe shook both Patrick and Mark’s hands. Then they bade him goodbye and walked to the check-in counter. Bheki took his wife in his arms and wished her a safe journey. Then she followed Timothy and others to the departure counter to check in. Mark hugged his father- in- law and his father and said, “Have a safe journey and enjoy yourself in Durban.” Then he left the airport and went back to work.
• When they reached the plane, the pilot was standing by the steps smiling from ear to ear when he saw them. He greeted them with respect. After a few minutes, the plane departed. Bongiwe couldn’t contain her excitement and said giggling, “Wow Timothy, what a beautiful plane. It’s my first time to be in a Private Jet. I feel very important.” Timothy laughed out loud and replied, “It’s beautiful indeed, my son Mark wanted us to travel in style and be comfortable. I’m so proud of him for what he has become without my guidance.” Bongiwe was not surprised to hear that the plane was for Mark because he was such an outstanding young man. She smiled and said, “that is why my friend Grace became frustrated when you reconciled with him. Everything he achieved was his own capabilities. He didn’t rely on your riches. On top of that, he married the best daughter-in-law ever. Jonathan told me that your daughter-in-law took him under her wing. I’m so happy that he has turned over a new leaf. My heart is bleeding for my best friend Grace. I heard that she was stabbed by her inmate on purpose because she wanted to apply for medical parole. What happened to my best friend?” Timothy replied, “I have one word for you greed.” Timothy didn’t want to talk about his ex-wife. His heart was filled with regret and bitterness. He nearly lost his daughter in love and his little dumplings. At that moment, the flight attendant served them refreshments. The plane landed safely at King Shaka International Airport. They went to Avis rental to pick up their rental car, since Bongiwe was staying at His Shadow hotel, they dropped her first. Then they went to Mark and Victoria’s house. They were amazed when they saw the stunning house. Timothy and Patrick went to their respective guest rooms. Timothy dropped his luggage on the floor, then he walked to the balcony. He was mesmerized by the stunning views and warm breeze of the Indian Ocean. He took his phone and decided to call his family to let them know that they had arrived safely. Then he called his daughter in love and said, “your house is stunning and the sea breeze to die for. It’s so relaxing.” Victoria smiled and replied, “I hope you will come back relaxed and energized, ready for your grandsons.” Her father-in-law smiled brightly when his daughter in love mentioned his little dumplings he was counting the days.
