Simi stared at the pot bellied short man with his decayed brown teeth.
Her jaw dropped…
“Aah! Sherikoko…. Why you dey look at me like that naw? Come take sit” He said excitedly.
“My gosh! I can’t believe this” Simi muttered under her breath.
“Come sit naw…” He said again.
“Sorry! But am actually looking for a young man Mr Tijani” Simi said
He laughed heartily.
“Tijani dey two? Na me naw! Tijani Adegoke Osibanjo Olurunkon (1) of Ibadan….” He said and laughed.
“You are what?” Simi asked in shock
“Na me I be Tijani” He groaned in laughter as he put his pipe into his mouth and thick black smoke gushed out of his mouth.
Disgusting…. 🤮
“What the… Am so going to kill you Yemi” Simi groaned angrily.
“Shoo… You no wan take am for seat?” He asked gulping down his glass of beer.
Simi managed to sit on the chair opposite him.
She stared at him in disgust.
💭 How can Yemi set up a date for me with this old pot bellied short man with decayed brown teeth and bald head? 💭 Simi thought.
That she needed a lover urgently doesn’t make her choice less.
Mr Tijani coughed loudly….
“Ehh… Simi Bankole abi?” He smiled
💭 I wish this man will stop smiling already with his stinky teeth 💭 Simi thought
“Yeah!” Simi said without even looking at his face.
“Aah! I doesn’t know you ares a very beutifu girl…” He said trying to speak correct English.
“Thank you Mr Tijani… Look I really have to go! I have a lot to do” Simi said trying to discharge him.
“you say wetin? You wan go already? Aah! No be now you come? Tell them bringed whatever you want….. Whether na ewa? Amala? Gbegiri? Ofada rice? Efo oriro? Iyan or…” He kept talking.
“Oh no! I don’t want any of that…. Am just fine!” Simi said as she picked up her handbag and stood up.
“Aah! Mogbe!! Kilode naw? Kini asise (What’s wrong with you?)” He asked as he belched noisily.
“Please excuse me!” Simi said as she rushed out of the hotel.
Simi hurried to the gate and flagged down a cab and hopped in quickly and they drove off.
“Aah! Simi There is absolutely nothing you will not see all in the name of getting a soulmate! Mr Tijani? One old dirty pig that calls himself a young man” Simi shook her head in agony.
I walked into the duplex fuming with anger.
“What’s up girl? How was the date?” Yemi asked happily.
“Yemi be sincere with me, do you hate me this much?” Simi asked furiously
“Hate? What are you talking about Simi?” Yemi asked confused.
“Of all the young men here in Lagos Yemi, you set up a date for me with that old pot bellied short, brown decayed teeth and illiterate man that you called Tijani” Simi yelled
“What? It was my coursemate Teni that told me about him… I’ve never seen him” Yemi said
“Well you need to see who you referred me to.. I would have worked on some papers than waste my precious time going to see an old man” Simi said as she walked upstairs angrily.
“My goodness! Simi! Simi!! Simisola please listen… I didn’t know he was an old man… Please listen to me” Yemi screamed as she ran after Simi.

Simi sat on the couch with her laptop.
Her cell phone rang aloud.
it was her mother.
She breathed heavily….
📱 Hello Maami! Good evening… She greeted
📱 Alo Simi! When are you coming over to see Prophet Obafemi with me?? She asked anxiously
📱 Maami am very busy at the moment! Simi said
📱 That is not my problem! By the way, I hope you are getting ready for Toyo’s wedding…She asked
📱 Yes Ma! Simi said
📱 Better come with your fiance… She said
📱 I’ll talk to you later mom.. Simi said as she hung up.
she breathed heavily in relieve.

Simi quickly put on her suit as she headed downstairs.
She glanced at the wall clock.
It was 8pm and she was going to the hospital.
There was an emergency and she needed to be there.
“Must you go to the hospital tonight Simi?” Yemi worried
“Yes.. I have to!” Simi said as she walked out of the house.
“This girl is such a workaholic” Yemi said
Simi hopped into the car and headed straight to the hospital.
She rushed into the ward to see the dying patient.
When she got to the ward, she quickly started taking care of the elderly woman who was suffering from high blood pressure.
She rushed out of the ward.
On her way in, she bumped into a very hansome rich guy.
“You moron! Are you blind?” The man yelled at her rudely.
She gasped….
