Simi stopped and stood at a place in annoyance.
“Where do you think you are going to eh? Didn’t you hear what I told you last night?” Mrs Folashade screamed at her.
“Maami I have got a lot of work to do” Simi said as she turned around.
“Work kor! Work ni… Your mates are in their husbands house taking care of their beautiful children and you are here talking of work” Mrs Folashade sighed
“Maami can we please visit the prophet another day” Simi said putting on her shoe.
“Shut up? Kilode nah? (What is it?) Aah! I can see you don’t want me to have grandchildren abi?” Mrs Folashade said
“Maami this is my life and I’ve got to live it the best way I can… Please mom just let me be and not to worry… I’ll get married soon” Simi said as she rushed out of the house.
“Hmm… Tch! Aah… So this girl is speaking all the oyinbo big big grammar for me? Anyways I won’t rest until the evil spirit that is preventing my daughter from getting married will be casted out…i trust prophet Obafemi!” Mrs Folashade said as she picked up her Bible on top of the table and started screaming while praying

Simi drove her Honda jeep into the estate and straight to her apartment.
It was already dark and she was done for the day at the hospital.
She walked into the house…..
“Girl… How was today?” Yemi’s voice echoed from the sitting room.
Yemi was sitting on the couch busy with her cell phone as I walked in.
Simi sat heavily on the couch helplessly.
“So tiring!” Simi replied as she sighed
“How was the meeting with your mom?” Yemi asked as she scooped some ice cream into her mouth.
“The usual issue everyday… Yemi am so fed up with this… I mean am tired of this” Simi said angrily
“But you know girl, I don’t really blame your mom…. You don’t even have a boyfriend to start with neither do you have a lover” Yemi said
“Yemi just don’t start with me oo… Have you turned to my second mother?” Simi laughed
“No! Am just seeing reasons with your mom! All you do is work! Work! Work!” Yemi said
“But Yemi you should understand right? My time is dedicated to work” Simi said
“Simi it shouldn’t be that way…. Just at your younger sister Toyo getting married in two days time and me…. Take a look at my finger, am engaged” Yemi said as she sighed softly
“I mean you should try going out…. Parties! Just socializing! And tonight Dele and I are going to a friend’s party so you can come with us” Yemi said
“I don’t think I can… Am exhausted” Simi said as she gulped down a glass of water.
“I also have a work Simisola, am a company worker so I am also exhausted but you just need to do somethings” Yemi said
“Fine… You won!” Simi said as Yemi jumped for joy.
“It’s party time! Don’t worry girl, I’ll make you up” Yemi said happily.
“Whatever! Weree…..(mad girl)” Simi joked.

Simi sat in front of the dressing mirror as Yemi applied some makeups on her face
“You look absolutely stunning girl!” Yemi smiled
“Am feeling very uncomfortable with this whole arrangement of yours Yemi” Simi said
“Come on girl! Teni told me Mr Tijani is really a gentleman” Yemi said
“This sort of date arrangement is really pissing me off…. I just hope it turns out well this time around” Simi said
“Quit being pessimistic” Yemi said
Just then, the door bell rang aloud.
“OMG! His chauffeur is here to pick you up” Yemi screamed in excitement.
They walked downstairs and opened the door.
It was Mr Tijani’s driver…
He actually came to pick Simisola up
Simi hopped into the car and drove off waving at Yemi.
🚗 🚗
They drove into the hotel and parked at the garage.
Simi walked into the house with her heart racing.
She picked up her phone and dialed his number.
📱 Hello… Where are you? she said
📱 Aah! Shoo…. I dey for the second table for right… He said with a local accent
💭 Haa! What kind of man is this? 💭 She thought.
Simi walked closer to the second table.
😱
He waved at her smiling revealing his brown decayed teeth 🤮
Her jaw dropped in shock…..
