“My partner, my partner, today we are going to sit together in the bus, we will gist till we get to the venue…I want to show you that I’m a very humble person…shebi you said I’m not friendly”
“Ah…Jemila…let me catch her first…oh God!...you mean she told you…” Abike couldn’t help but smile as she replied him
“Anyways get ready for my wahala” he added with a broad smile
“Well, I think I’m fit for the wahala” Abike laughed as she chipped that in
“Okay…let’s go there” Folarin said as he helped her pick up the tools she had with her while they both walked to the bus.
************************************
Two (2) weeks later…
“Abike….Abike…” Mummy-Rachael called out as Abike was walking out of the church hall
“Ah Mummy….good evening Ma”
“Good evening my dear, you look radiant…hope you enjoyed the service?”
“Yes ma I did…Thank you and you look beautiful as always mummy”
“Thank you my dear, daddy chose this outfit for me”
“Wow….that’s so beautiful Ma”
“Ehen…my dear that my Nephew I have been telling you about is around, my elder sister’s son…I will like you to meet him finally”
“Really, mummy you know I’m not looking at that area now”
“No ooo…Abike nothing ooo…I just want you guys to be friends…both of you have similar character”
“Okay Ma, if you insist”
“I insist my dear”
They both walked outside to meet him. He was on the phone backing them as he discussed. They waited for him to end his call giving him some few distance so as not to listen to his conversation. Abike was not just ready for this whole introduction episode. For her, relationship was a no go area for now. Although she healed very fast from the heartbreak she got from Tunde, she still felt she needed sometime. As she was thinking of the next escape route, he ended the call and turned to them. Abike’s mouth was wild open immediately she saw his face.
“Who am I seeing….My partner, my partner…” Folarin screamed as he rushed to hug her
“Wow….Folarin….so good to see you…so you are Mummy’s nephew”
“And you are the lady mummy has been telling me about…wow…small world”
Mummy-Rachael watched in amazement.
“Hmmmm…so you both know each other and both of you were acting reluctant when I tried to connect you two”
Abike and Folarin laughed hysterically as Folarin replied Mummy Rachael.
“Mummy don’t mind us jor…Abike was my Partner at the last outreach my NGO had” Folarin said as Abike smiled
“Really…wow…”
“To think I forgot to collect her number…mummy you tried ooo…now I have reconnected with my shakara friend”
“Ennnnnn….you are going to pay for my service then” Mummy-Rachael said with a wink
“Ahhhhh….mummy….” Abike and Folarin chorused laughing
