Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 48

I drove into the compound and was surprised to find the light in the living room turned on. Two reasons crossed my mind. The carpenter was still around waiting for me. I forgot to turn off the light before going to work.

I dialed his number again as I entered the house. He picked up this time.

‘Tobi, sorry jare. I had a busy day and missed your calls. Why is the door to my living room opened and where are my new keys?’

‘Aunty Tinuke, I gave the keys to your husband.’

‘What!’

‘Your husband Aunty. The one I always see in the house when I come for repairs. He said you told him to collect the keys.’

‘Oh my God! Tobi! Okay thank you. Come to my office tomorrow morning for your balance.’

I stood in the living room, exasperated. Ranti walked out of the kitchen carrying a tray of hot pepper soup. He smiled at me as he placed the tray on the dining table.

‘Welcome darling.’ He smiled, sauntering towards me. I couldn’t hide my frustration this time. He kissed me.

‘Hello Ranti.’ I muttered.

He took my bag and placed it gently on the chair. Then he led me to the dinning room. On the table were scented candles. Cheese cakes. Lasagne. Sausage casserole. Smoked salmon. Shrimps. Meat loaf muffins.

I stared at the different meals on the table. Ranti had gone for meals he knew I couldn’t resist.

He rest his hands on my shoulders. ‘I made the pepper soup, but I ordered the rest.’

I chuckled. ‘Of course I know you ordered them.’

He laughed and tickled me. I pulled his hand away suddenly annoyed that he was feeling comfortable with me. How did he expect me to quickly forget everything he’d done to me

‘Tinuke, I’m sorry for the way I’ve treated you in the past. Please forgive me.’

I gazed into his eyes. There were tears again. Was he really repentant?

‘I love you so much.’ He kissed my palm.

Again, I believed him. I know I shouldn’t but I did. I settled down and began to munch at the meals before me. Ranti laughed and shared some funny stories with me. It was like old times again. I deliberately pushed the fear aside and enjoyed every moment with him. When we were done eating, he chased me to the room and took me to bed.
