They got to the examination hall, it was computer based examination. He wore a chinos trouser and a fine shoe. It was Timileyin and Olajumoke that went to drop them there. They were still waiting for them to finish,they were sitted inside the car gisting about Seun and his daughter.
‘This is the matter of life and death now. His father killed my parents so how will I allow my son to be a friend to that kind of child given birth to by him.’ Olajumoke said.
‘Its true oo, what we went through then and it wasn’t easy. He even hated you that time.’ She commented.
‘Who told you he hated me, he still hates me now.’ She said.
‘How sure are you my friend! Don’t think this way, although its entirely something bad to allow both of them to be friends. It can be dangerous.’ Timileyin added.
‘I’m happy that his dad has also seen it this way. At least its better this way.’ She said.
‘This is now university life.’ Timi said.
……
The rain was very heavy, Tomisin was in her room expecting her dad to return back from work. She was eager to see him. She had been reading all day for her post ume. She got up and moved to the dinning to sit and trying to call her dad’s number but it wasn’t reachable.
Kate arrived to see Temitope but pretended as if it Tonia she had come to see. She also wrote the university exam Tope and Tonia wrote. Temitope and Lucia were friend at home since she was still small, just trying to get into senior secondary school one (SS1). He did teach her mathematics and other subject. They do talk a lot whenever they were less busy. Olajumoke had returned to Nigeria this time, Temitope was liked for his diligence and obedience in that house.
‘Hi.’ Kate waved at Tope where he was sitted with Lucia in the sitting room.
‘Hello’ he replied and thought of where he had seen her before then recollected that she had been seen with Tonia in Australia.
Lucia stood up and moved towards her to take her inside Tonia’s room but she was still looking at the back trying to look at his hace again.
She knocked at her door, Lucia then turned back and returned to Temitope. Tonia opened the door for her to come in.
‘What’s up?’ Kate came in.
‘I’m good oo, you didn’t tell me you were comming.’ Tonia said.
‘Suprise package!’ She smiled.
‘Why are you not in the living room?’ She questioned.
‘Must I be there?’ She answered.
‘That’s your business jurh!’ Kate said.
‘And about our result, can you see I’m your boss!’ She said.
‘Na u know that one. That’s your own business not mine at least Tope scored more than you too.’ Kate laughed.
‘So?’
‘He is your own boss or rather our boss! Understood?’ She continued laughing.
Tonia hissed.
‘I’m now an undergraduate, studying medicine in the university.’ Kate boasted.
‘Just keep shut, who is asking you this now?’ She frowned.

WAEC result came out and as usual, Temitope and Tomisin were part of the first ten. Temitope had to come back to Nigeria although his mother didn’t want him to but Tolu refused and wanted to see his son. He got to Nigeria two days to the commencing of the program.
He got home and was very happy to see his dad. He rushed down to hug him. Not quite long after that time he went out of the house so as to go and see Tomisin.
It was Tomisi n’s dad that came to open the gate for him unfortunately. He told him to wait outside and went in, he brought out a sheet of paper that “I don’t want to see you again” was written on it. He was given and he saw that the writing was Tomisin’s handwriting. He was amazed and Seun sent him away angrily.
He got home depressed and unhappy. He pondered over the handwriting but no way to call her. ‘What can be happening?’ He thought in him.
