Lekki Sisi - S01 E79

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 79

While the building was under renovation, we arranged with experts to train mum on how to run a Montessori school. Thankfully, the years mum spent as a nursery and primary school teacher gave her an upper hand.

Yetunde’s admission process had been completed and she was due to travel to the U.S that weekend. We decided to spend that Friday together with mum before leaving together for Lagos.

‘Mum, what exactly did dad write in that letter?’ Yetunde asked, rummaging through mum’s wardrobe.

Mum chuckled. ‘You can’t find the letter in that wardrobe.’

I played with mum’s finger. ‘What did Dad write that changed your mind about him.’

Mum smiled. ‘I just realized that I was getting old and I didn’t want to go to the grave carrying that pain in my heart. Forgiving your father was the hardest and yet the best decision I made. I cried to God after reading that letter. I asked him to help me forgive your father. He did. By the way, how’s Patrick?’

‘He is fine.’

‘When he came here, I observed the way both of you talked. It was so sweet. It was so different from the way you and Kunle related. I always pitied you when Kunle shouted and scolded you like a child.’

‘And you wanted me to marry him.’

Mum shrugged, ‘We all have our flaws.’

Yetunde looked up from her phone. ‘Baba Jide just sent me a text now. The toys have arrived. He is waiting for us at the school gate.’

My mother clapped in excitement and stood up. We dressed up and left for mum’s new school. The painters were working on the walls when we got there. I stopped at the entrance to read the name of the school in bold letters.
