Broken and bruised - Season 1 - Episode 42

“I get your point but let me be the one to worry about that but I can promise you no scandal is big enough to bring the company I have worked for all these
years down…. I will protect Mel and be there for her until when she’s alright to move on with life on her own as a strong woman” she stares him in the
eyes and can see his sincerity and determination

“Alright son…..I trust you will but I need another favour from you…… you see, Mel had taken dead year from school to settle down in her marriage and
heal from her ordeal but she has made it clear to me now that she’s never going back to school after the one year elapses, I have worked so hard to bring
her to the final year in the institute and saying all my hard work will go down the drain just like that is something I can’t take yet she no longer listens
to me”

“So you need me to convince her”
“Yes….she only listens to you and I’m sure if you tell her that she will see reasons and listen to you” he smiles at her as he takes her arms and assures
her

“I will talk to her but please don’t pressure her, if she says she doesn’t want to let’s just leave her, she’s still young and maybe one day when all this
nightmare is over, she will want to go back….. but I promise I’m going to talk to her”
“I knew I could count on you” she thanks him

“You should get going now….I have taken more of your time than I had planned” he’s about to get going when Mel opens her door and steps out
“Good morning best friend” she’s shocked to see him
“What are you doing here this Early Tobi…. I didn’t know you were coming”
“I didn’t want to wake you up but I have had great time with your mum” Ofelia excuses herself to go out to join her sister as the two talk

“How was your night….”
“Good… very good”
“You’re still shocked to see me here in your house….were you going somewhere”
“I was only craving something and I needed to get to the market”

“Craving something?…. this early morning? ” he says with a smile as he teases her she walks past him but he holds her back

“Mel, I came to pick you so we can go somewhere so should I wait for you or I should go…..I can get for you whatever you’re craving for on our way”
“Where are we going”
“Is that a yes?….. he smiles the more
” You have five minutes to get ready, I’m waiting outside” he walks out and Mel is excited she doesn’t understand what she feels when Tobi is always around
her but she just likes being with him, he’s full of surprises ………she doesn’t understand why he doesn’t have a woman in his life because he would
make a lovely husband she intends to ask him to get a girlfriend……….
It took Melanie exactly ten minutes to get ready and when she’s done, she comes out dressed in a pink knee length free wear, Tobi is seated with Ofelia
and Jessica outside, they are happily charting but when he saw Mel step out, he was blown away, his breath taken away…….until today he had no idea
Mel was this beautiful, he’s instantly speechless and Ofelia is studying him
“Good morning aunt” Mel greets her aunt who responds with smiles
“It’s so heartwarming to see you jolly this morning”
“Thank you aunt”
“Shall we ”
“Yes Tobi” they leave………..

Tobi packs the car across the road where the market is
“What did you say you were craving for….. let me get it for you” she looks a little embarrassed
“Just some fruits”
“Just about any?”
“Nanasi (pineapple)and papaya”
“Good wait for me here”…..he leaves her in the car and heads to the market where everyone is whispering from ear to ear on seeing him saying maybe he’s
the reason the wedding never took place in the first place, others say Mel is truly Lucky to be attracting rich kids just, Tobi was hearing what they were
saying but he ignores….he gets what he came for and they head to his office
“Where are you taking me…..you still haven’t told me”
“It’s a surprise”
“But I hate surprises”
“You will love this one….tell me something, what plans to do have after a year from now”

“I have never thought about that but if it’s about whet my mum asked you to do just forget I’m not going back to school” Tobi is dumfounded
“So you were eavesdropping in on our conversation after all, you see, i need you to keep yourself busy…I’m offering you a job just in case you choose
to keep this baby and not give it up for adoption….you will be able to take care of it”
“Job?…. what job can you probably give me”

“You were pursuing bachelor of business administration and that’s a knowledge no one can take away from you..but if you don’t put it into good practice,
by the time you go back to school it will be all useless…….so you will work closely with me but under the supervision of my PA… you will be reporting
directly to her” Mel is so shocked
“We are headed to the office so I can show you around… you will start when ever you want and I’m not taking no for an answer”…….
