to their rooms. There was great tension in the dining area of the Dubois residence.
    “Black women are nothing but sluts and if you dare continue with your stupid plans, you may as well forget that I am your father.” Those were the last words uttered by Mr. Dubois, Ted's father, before he stormed out of the dining room. Ted did not wait to finish his dinner. "Au revoir,'' he bid his mother goodbye and grabbed his coat.

 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter Five
    It had been almost a year since Ted and Tina had seen each other face to face. Despite the video calls as well as regular calls on a daily basis, Ted had greatly missed the love of his life. The time for him to take his annual leave from work was soon coming and he knew exactly where he would go for the much needed vacation.
    His father had not gone easy on him with regards to his relationship with Tina, but Ted did not seem to mind. His father, in theory, had already disowned him. His marriage to Tina was to be his signature out of his father's will and possibly his ticket out of the family.
    Ted did not seem to have a problem with this at all. His job brought him enough income to comfortably support himself and Tina as well as any other dependants. The only problem he had was the psychological torture that being at loggerheads with his father brought. The Dubois family had always been a close-knit one with Mrs. Dubois bringing up all her children to appreciate the importance of family.
    Every time Ted looked up on his wall clock, he would see the French writings on it , which in English would translate to “A family that prays together, stays together.” All these problems, coupled with the everyday stress of his demanding job, made him really look forward to his annual leave. He just couldn't wait.
    The day finally came and he had already packed all his bags , ready for the flight to paradise! He had initially planned to surprise Tina, but he did not know where exactly she lived. He was forced to inform her and have her meet him at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi.
    Tina was at the airport an hour before her lover touched down. When she finally saw him push his trolley looking for her, tears of joy ran down her cheeks. She rushed to where he was and hugged him tightly. Ted managed to hold back his tears, but the jubilation on his face was quite obvious. He was smiling like a toddler who had just been excused from eating his veggies. The hug lasted for about five minutes before Ted kissed his lover on the cheek and they headed for the taxi ranks.
    They drove to Tina's house where she had prepared him some great Kenyan delicacies. Ted had especially loved “ugali,” a dish made of maize flour on his first visit to Kenya and Tina made sure there was lots of it. For the first time, he got to meet Tina's siblings, who were all on their school holiday. Ted was near the woman he loved, with great food and great company. He was definitely in paradise.
    Tina's siblings promised to teach him Swahili , which they did over time. After about two weeks of his stay, he could make broken sentences in Swahili and could understand a few phrases here and there whenever two people spoke the language next to him.
    On his first Saturday in Kenya, he decided to take his lover out on a date, typical of his romantic nature. They went to a fine restaurant in town and ordered some great food. It was evident that these two really enjoyed each other's company. Throughout the meal, they were laughing heartily and sharing in each other's joy. They were to have ice cream for dessert and Ted promptly signaled the waiter when they were ready.
    Tina was enjoying her strawberry flavored ice cream, when halfway through, she felt something hard in her mouth. She quickly spit it out into her hand. There it was. The most beautiful diamond ring she had ever seen in her entire life was right on the palm of her hands. Ted, whose face was down pretending to tie one of his
