Continue from the last scene

We were in that position close to an hour, but this time he had already stopped crying. After the hug and all that, we went back to our sit, this time his mood was light and calm. But we were not talking much as before.

KOLA: I’m sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable. I just couldn’t control myself.

RITA: Kola, see the truth is, I might not understand the true meaning of love but all I can tell you is that you really do love that girl. I heard love is kindness, forgiveness. Why not forgive and be happy again and stop punishing yourself.

KOLA: You don’t know what love is? I mean you have never fallen in love?

RITA: No, I mean not yet, I’m even to busy to have time for myself not to talk of falling in love.

KOLA: Common Rita, love is a very beautiful thing, you should try it. I know you would like it.

RITA: Really? ( I gave him that look, that said ‘how well did yours end)

KOLA: I know that look, because it didn’t work out for Becky and I, doesn’t mean it can’t work for you.

RITA: Ok, but who I’m I suppose to love? Men just want to sleep with me, they ain’t coming for love.

KOLA: Love comes on its own, you don’t find love, it finds you. It will come when the time is right.

My phone had a message when kola and I was hugging, so I decided to check it to know who the message was from, it was glo and their trouble. I just hiss and wanted to drop the phone when I discover it was 9pm already, have we been in for so long?

KOLA: I’m hungry, let’s go out and get something to eat.

RITA: It’s almost 10pm kola, I can’t go out at this hour, I have never gone out in such hours before.

KOLA: But there’s always a first time na, don’t say no please.

RITA: Kola please, try to understand my point, ok if we should leave now, when will I get back home and when will you go home too?

KOLA: Ok, if you insist no problem, I understand but we going to hang out tomorrow right?

RITA: If that’s what you want, it’s fine by me. So let’s hang out tomorrow then.

He smiled and came to hug me where I was sitting.

KOLA: You are such a darling dear.

RITA: Thanks for coming, and if my chance you see mum and dad(his parents). Say me ‘Hi’ to them

KOLA: Have you met them before?

RITA: You mean Mr & Mrs owolabi michael?

KOLA: Are you serious? (looking very surprise)
I smiled

RITA: Don’t be to surprise kola, I’m not a witch to have seen your history. I met them at the hospital I told you about it na.

KOLA: Ok, let me start going dear,
