He took all the money and left. Disappeared
from the surface of the earth. We couldn’t
find him. The company crashed, we had to
sell our house and move to a mini flat. I had
to drop out from school. It was hard. And
that witch just didn’t care. She expected
more but did nothing to help.”

“I’m sorry. What about your child?” Tobi
asked, giving her shoulder a reassuring
sq££ze.

“He’s not mine Tobi. He’s my sister’s. My
nephew. My sister got raped at sixteen. I
was just twenty one. She died giving birth to
him, and he just happened to have a hole in
his heart. That’s where all the money went.”
She explained.

“Abena if you need help or anything. I can
take care of the bills.” He offered and she
shook her head.

“No. Don’t pity me. I can take care of
myself.” She said vehemently and he
decided to drop the topic if he wanted to
avoid a fight.

“Okay. What about your mum?”
“She died when I was five and my little
sister was just born. We had an autopsy and
it said that she was poisoned but we all ate
the same food and the police said there
wasn’t enough to investigate so the closed
the case.”

“You’ve been through a lot Abena. I feel like
such a d--k.” He said.

“You are.” She replied and he laughed.
“Come on. Let’s go and watch a movie. I
have caramel popcorn.” He grinned and she
jumped off the bed.

“Why are you still sitting down? Stand up
jare. I’m picking the movie.” She said,
pulling his arm but she wasn’t able to move
him.

“Babe. You really think you can move all this
muscle and hotness?” He asked, gesturing
to himself.

“I didn’t see any muscle, or hotness. You’re
just fat.” She joked and he lifted an
eyebrow, pretending to be angry.
“Fat?” He asked, standing up and following
her out. “There isn’t one ounce of fat on
me. Admit it, I’m hot.”

“Whatever lets you sleep at night Mr.
Ademi.”

…
“You apologized?”
Tobi nodded, answering him for the fifth
time.

“You. Tobi Ademi, apologized?”
“For the sixth time, yes.”
“Wow. The world is coming to an end. Pigs
are flying. What is-”
“Guy shut up jare.” Tobi cut him off,
slapping the back of his head.
“It’s just surprising. You should marry her.
She’s good for you.” Joseph said and Tobi
glared at him.

“Shut up jare. You’ve started. I don’t want
to marry. Leave me alone.” Tobi replied.
“Aw come on. You guys are perfect for
eachother.” Joseph whined.
“Go away. Abi is it by force? No! I don’t
want to marry her. She’s nice and all but,
no.” Tobi stated.

“You like her.” Joseph wiggled his
eyebrows.

Tobi stood up, hiding the smile on his face.
“I have work to do.”
Joseph laughed as he watched his friends
retreating figure.

“You didn’t deny it!”

…
“How about, I take you out next week? Not
this week, I’m loaded at work, but next
week?” Tobi asked.

Abena was making Afang vegetable soup,
and he was lazing around in the kitchen.
She looked up from the vegetables that she
was mixing together in the pot.
