contract - Season 1 - Episode 30

☆☆
A young woman walked into the office just
as Abena was about to speak.

“Miss. Omotosho, this is Miss. Joy, she
would be the care taker of Demi while he’s
in India.

Abena stood up to shake Joy. “Pleased to
meet you. Please take care of him.”
“I would. It’s my job.” Miss. Joy replied.
“Can I see him?” Abena asked looking at the
doctor.

“Of course. Right this way.” Dr. Karo said
and stood up, leaving the office with Abena
and Miss. Joy trailing after him
Abena entered the hospital room, and
although she had been there a thousand
times, she still felt the same way.
Sad.

Depressed.

Nostalgic, and not the good type.
She walked beside the bed and stared at
the innocent face of a two year old.
“Demi.” She started talking, fighting the
tears that threatened to fall.

“You’re going to go to India, and get
surgery, and you’ll be much better after. And
when you come back, it would be just us.
The two of us, we’ll start over. Our little
family. I’m sorry I can’t come, I have to
keep working,” she wiped the hot tears on
her cheek with the back of her palm. “I’ll
keep working for us, so I can keep on
sending enough money for your surgery.”
Demi’s eyes fluttered open and he gave
Abena a weary smile. She choked in tears
and gave him a hug, trying to avoid the
tubes that were attached to him, the tubes
that were keeping him alive.

“Miss. Joy would take good care of you, and
I’ll call everyday, to make sure you’re okay.”
She said once she pulled away.
Miss. Joy gave him a friendly wave, grinning
at him, and he smiled back.

After sorting out all the documents, Abena
said goodbye to Demi again, trying to be
strong for the both of them, and then she
left the hospital.

Doctor Karo had stared at her pregnant
belly, and then at her index finger, but she
pretended not to notice.
…

“I’m back!” Abena shouted as she walked
into the house and straight into the kitchen
looking for a snack.
“Don’t make noise in my house.” She heard
Tobi say sharply.

“What’s the matter with you?” She asked
with her mouth full, poking him on his
shoulder. He was sitting on a couch, with
his laptop right in front of him.
“Don’t talk to me except when necessary.
Don’t break my rules Abena.” He warned
and she rolled her eyes.

“I thought we were past that.” She asked
sitting down beside him. “And why are you
working? It’s Saturday.”
“Well some of us have actual jobs.” He
snapped and she glared at him.
“If you’re so cranky, because you didn’t get
your favorite lingerie, you don’t have to take
it out on me!” She said, raising her voice a
little before storming up the stairs.

She came back after a minute and grabbed
the whole bunch of bananas before
storming up the stairs again.

What was up with him and his mood swings
anyway? Acting like it was his time of the
month!

…
Tobi watched Abena leave and fought the
urge to go after her, she was messing with
his head, and he needed her as far away as
possible.

He knew it was impossible to keep her
away, but after seeing her bank statement,
he didnt know how to react.

But then he realised, why does he care
anyway?
