“Well they’re kids. When a visitor comes,
they expect some sort of payment for
intruding on their privacy.” Abena replied
and Tobi chuckled.

Joseph was seating on a wheelchair, placed
in front of the house to welcome them. Tobi
gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder
while Abena just gave him a warm smile.
“You’re kids like money too much. They’re
sU-Cking me dry.” Tobi joked and Joseph
smiled broadly.

“You’re the one that spoilt them. Now
they’re used to it.” Joseph replied.
He wheeled himself into the house, and
Abena followed. Tobi shut the door behind
them. Joseph noticed the large case she
was carrying.

“Is that cake?” He asked.
“Yes.” She replied.
“Why is it so big?” He raised an eyebrow.
“Ask your annoying billionaire friend.” She
joked.

“I decorated it. Show him.” Tobi grinned, as
though he just became the richest man in
Nigeria.

Abena rolled her eyes and showed Joseph
the cake. He burst into laughter and Tobi
joined in.

The cake was sloppily decorated, but in the
middle, Tobi’s perfect handwriting read:
‘Hurray! The Hospital is Free From Joseph!’
“Seriously dude?” Joseph asked, still
laughing.

“I heard you gave the doctor hell.” Tobi
replied.

“He was so eager to release me.” Joseph
laughed.

Dera walked out of the kitchen. She smelt
like lavender and fried chicken. “Abena!”
She squealed like a little child. Abena gave
her a shy smile.

She collected the cake from her, and
dumped them in the hands of Tobi, then
pulled Abena into a tight hug. Abena patted
her back awkwardly, not knowing what to
do.

“Dera! You’ll kill my daughter before I even
meet her.” Tobi joked.
“You’re having a girl?” She asked Abena,
ignoring Tobi.

“I don’t know. We want it to be a surprise.
The only thing I would want to know is how
many children I would be having.” Abena
replied with a smile.

“Hopefully four.” Joseph joked.
“God forbid!” Abena replied and they all
burst into laughter.
“Well, let’s go to the dining room. The kids
are already getting impatient.” Dera said,
holding Abena’s hand and leading them to
the dining room.
“Dera. You didn’t even greet me.” Tobi said,
feigning hurt.
“What’s my business with you? I’m so happy
I have a girlfriend by my side now. That’s
why I asked you to bring her, so I won’t
have to talk to you guys.” She joked.
“Asked me? You threatened me!” Tobi
replied and Abena chuckled.

“If you say another word, she might deprive
you from taking your chicken.” Joseph
whispered into Tobi’s ear, loud enough for
everyone to hear.

The kids were already seated on their seats,
staring longingly at the food.
“Come on. Let’s eat.”

Abena looked around her, enjoying the
feeling of having friends, and a family. It
wasn’t going to last, so she was going to
make the most of it.

…
“Are you sure my dress is fine?” Abena
asked nervously.
They were walking towards the door of the
club, and Abena was feeling nervous.
