contract - Season 1 - Episode 63

“Thank you.”

…
“Why can’t you just be with her?”
“Because we signed a contract Joseph.
She’s here to give birth and leave. No
strings attached. You can’t just forget the
point of all this.” Tobi replied.
They were at a restaurant, waiting for a very
late client, and Joseph just had to bring up
Abena as a topic.
“Why? You like her. This is the first time
you’ve liked someone.” Joseph argued.
“I never said I like her Joseph. Stop jumping
into conclusions.” Tobi groaned, rubbing his
temple.
“But you care about her. And don’t tell me
it’s because she’s carrying your baby.”
Joseph pointed out.
“Fine. I care about her. But that’s what it
would be. Nothing else.”
“Why don’t you want a family?”
“Well, because families break.” Tobi
snapped. “And if mine breaks, it would be
my fault. So it’s better to prevent it, than to
get hurt after.” Tobi said, avoiding his gaze.
“You’re not him. You’re not a cheat like your
father Tobi.”
“Well he didn’t know he was a cheat until he
became a cheat.” Tobi shrugged, hoping that
the client would arrive soon.

Joseph was about to say something, when
Tobi pointed at a lanky man walking into the
restaurant.

“Mr. Dotun is here, get the documents
ready.”
Joseph rolled his eyes, and said. “You
should know one thing. When life breaks
your family and takes a member away, God
rebuilds it, and gives you someone else.”
…
“Tobi!”
“Yeah?” Tobi replied, moving the phone
away from his ear because Abena was
shouting.
“Are you still at the office?” She asked, and
he smiled at the sound of her soft voice.
“I’m leaving now. Why?”
“I need bread.” She simply said.
“There’s bread at home.” He replied,
amused.
“I don’t want that one. I want agege bread.”
She explained and he rolled his eyes even if
she couldn’t see him.
“Bread is bread Abena. Stop disturbing me.”
“No it’s not. I want agege bread. No wait,
let me rephrase that, the twins want agege
bread.” She pointed out.
“Stop using my children to get things from
me.” He groaned, starting his car.
“Technically, your children are in me, so I’m
the only one that can speak for them.
Unless you want to carry them yourself.”
“Thats impossible.” He said.
“Exactly. So I’m the one who understands
what the children want, and they want
agege bread.”

“Whatever. Fine. I’ll get you your stupid
bread.” He replied childishly but she just
chuckled.
“Good. And buy chocolate and snacks on
your way. I’ve finished the ones at home.
And bananas too.”
“Abena! I bought five of the large
toblerones, seven maltesers and ten boxes
of Maryland cookies. Just yesterday!” He
said surprised.
“Oops?”
…
“What do you want to eat?”
“Rice.” Tobi replied without looking away
from his laptop.
