Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 18

After we dispersed, I didn’t see him again. He disappeared into thin air. Distracted by the sight of the lady I planned talking to after church, I walked over to where she stood by her car, eyes glued to her phone. My racing pulse was calmed by her smiles. But then, I was suddenly speechless.

‘Hello.’

I found my voice again. ‘I am Tinuke.’

She folded her hands. ‘I know that. You were introduced at the meeting.’

‘Oh. So nice of you to remember.’ What else do I say. ‘I got into Lagos recently.’

’That’s good. We should hang out sometime. My name is Funmi. Can I have your contact?’

I didn’t expect this to happen so fast. I punched my number on her phone. The lady she had come to church with was now standing beside her.

‘Susan, Meet Tinuke .’

‘Hi.’ Susan said and turned to Funmi. ‘We have to go the airport now. My dad will be landing anytime soon.’ Funmi hugged me before stepping into the back seat. A man, I supposed was their driver, drove the car out of the compound.

I was quiet all the way home. So many thoughts ran through my mind. I wanted my own car and an apartment. But the cost was just too much. How do I get another job so quickly?

‘How much did you get this car?’

Tola didn’t respond immediately. I thought she didn’t hear me and wanted to ask again.

‘1.7 million.’
