"Yes Mama Ife. My friend is still in coma so I still have to be in Abuja for some days. No, don't worry. The doctor said he will soon regain consciousness," Tunde said into his earpiece as he drove through the roads of Abuja.
"Okay son. I pray he recovers soon. Everyone especially Ife misses you here at home," Mama Ife replied. He could hear the mixture of feelings in h
"Thank God you are back. I actually missed your sexy ass," Caleb teased while making squeezing motions with his hands. Tunde rolled his eyes as he ignored him.Gbenga hit him upside the head before he said, "Will you just shut the hell up. I am beginning to think you are bisexual."
"Ife, you have started talking to boys. Look at this little girl." Tunde was obviously having fun as he teased Ife. The girl in question was on his bed chuckling."So, are you saying I cannot talk to boys? No problem, I won't talk to boys again. I will tell them I want to be a nun," Ife replied, making Tunde laugh with his hand holding his stomach.
Tunde stood in front of the large standing mirror in his room. Today, everything needed to be perfect including the smile that had become a permanent fixture on his face since he woke up. It was date day with Iyunade and nothing was going to make him blow it, not even himself.Winking at himself, he readjusted the collar of his blue polo shirt before bending to ti
"So Miss?" Tunde asked the lady standing at their table as he accessed the menu."It's Kate," she replied immediately.
"Sister Iyunade, something bad has happened o."Those words kept ringing on Iyunade's head as she stood still. She was deaf to the other noises around her.
Iyunade sat inside her room deliberating on Tunde's offer since he mentioned it about three hours ago. She didn't want herself or her family to be a burden to anyone. But she also knew she didn't want to disappoint Sade. His offer had been all she could think about since she got home. If she could just understand why Tunde wanted to help, maybe she'd be able to come to a decision.She was almost certain he would want something in return. That aside, how was she going to explain him financing her sister's education. The sudden knock on her door brought her out of her thoughts. And in stalked Bunmi and Stella with mischievous grins on their faces. "What's up babe? I can see you really enjoyed your date, that's why you haven't come to eat dinner," Stella teased, making Iyunade smile."Leave her o. God will also let us go on an interesting date." This statement from Bunmi only earn an eye-roll from Iyun. "Guys, stop it. I was planning to come for my dinner. And since you asked. The out
Tunde had a lot on his mind as he hurriedly walked out of the lecture room. He had been waiting and expecting Iyunade's call throughout the weekend, with the hope that she would accept his offer. But there had been no call, not even a flash. His phone suddenly vibrated inside his pocket. He had put it on vibration mode when he was about to enter the lecture room earlier. Dipping his hand into his pocket, he pulled out his phone.He smiled on seeing the caller ID and immediately tapped on the accept button."Hmm! What did I do to deserve this August call? I hope there is nothing for me to be worried or scared about," he said smiling as he walked through the department corridor."Hello to you too. I think the word to use should be cautious, not scared," Emmanuel's voice echoed into Tunde's ear."Cautious? What is it about? Did something happen?" Tunde asked worriedly."Hey man, calm your horses. There is nothing to be scared about. I just did a little research on that murder case and I
Chief Adeakin rolled the pen between his fingers as he stared at the picture of Iyunade and Tunde that had been taken outside Kenneth Dike Library, in the University of Ibadan.Anger was an understatement to what he was feeling right now. What he was feeling was equivalent to rage.He felt himself roll the pen faster between his fingers. "Anything yet?" he asked before he raised his head to look at Patrick who was standing at the other side of his office."No sir. I haven't found anything yet," Patrick replied.Chief Adeakin immediately dropped his pen and placed his index finger and thumb on the bridge of his nose."Why is it so difficult for you to find anything about her? I have a hunch that she must have done something bad elsewhere. She can't only be stealing my money. Like you said, she is the one providing for her family. This means she would have been doing other things to get money," the Chief said."But do you think she would do something like that outside? She doesn't look
