The examination ended, everyone was happy & were praying for an awesome result. Tomisin was happy and same Tope. The going and coming to the center will be a great relief. Tomisin thought in her that how much she read, all will be fine and make it in life.
Tope’s mum, Timileyin left early in the morning through flight to go and visit her friend in Ghana. She was dressed in a perfect and thoroughly expensive Ankara gown she spent a lot of money to sow. She was perfectly beautiful in it, with another gold chain on her necklace. It had a shinning and attractive pendant and she had a beautiful wire-worked bead on her two wrists. She also had a black pair of shoes and a golden ear ring also.
She was great!
She got to the airport, sitted waiting for the arrival of Timileyin. She sat quietly with a wine colour travelling bag. It was filled of her clothes and jewellries, she sat for some minutes before Timileyin arrived there to pick her. She was also dressed in a red gown, a high-heeled shoe of red colour also, she had a pause with her also and a face towel looking sweet. They were both happy seeing each other and hugged. She was ushered into the car, Toyota camry of 2012 model. The car was so great too.
They were indeed rich!
They got home, walked inside the house. Olajumoke looked around and saw the house so great. She nodded looking at the house that it was a depot of money. The compound was big and the floor interlocked. Olajumoke’s aim was to spend a week there and return. She got in, saw Yinka, Timileyin’s husband sitted and smiled so great moving close to hug him. She was happy seeing him and all had their seats.
‘Haha, na too long things oo, o to ‘jo meta’ Yinka said, smiling out.
‘ I dey kampe, so great and I don’t need to ask you, seeing you this way’ she uttered smiling in return.
‘Abi na, how’s everybody at home oo?’ She inquired.
‘We’re all great. And here?’ She asked.
‘Same here jare.’ Timileyin replied.
Tonia was approaching, coming out of her room to great Tope’s mum. She was feeling so shy and was in a good dress, looking so so beautiful. She wondered how she was going to greet her when she gets there. They were on two weeks break in school, same Adesina College ibadan also. She came out after a lot of peeping to see her. She walked down there and knelt down to greet her. Olajumoke smiled and held her shoulder.
‘How are you my darling.’ She smiled at her and stared at her face.
‘I’m good mum, and you too?’ She asked also putting on a smiling face on her.
‘I’m good oo, and how was this your examination?’ She sitted and drew her close to her to sit with her.
‘the exam was okay ma, we thank God.’ She replied.
‘What are you eating girl!’ Timileyin cut in interruptedly.
‘Wait who be girl sef oo, Timi, you don start.’ They all laughed.
****************
Temitope was tired of the short holiday they were given in school, he was already missing his mum, didn’t know where to go to, he was so bored in that house. He had one of Tomisin’s stories he was reading, he felt relaxed and was enjoying it although the house was boring, dad had gone to work and a short holiday his mum made use of to visit her dearest friend.
His phone rang, he walked slowly too the center table, he was already enjoying the novel he was reading. He picked it up and heard his mum’s voice.
‘Mum!’ He shouted and was happy to hear her voice.
‘Son, how are you dear’ she asked.
‘I’m not good oo, I’m too bored here jere’ he responded.
She laughed. ‘Sorry my husband, I will soon arrive, shay you’ve sha not missed me so much?
‘You are funny, sure I’ve not mum’ he replied.
‘Tonia wants to speak to you here oo’ she said quickly.
‘Tonia????’ Temitope thought and sighed.
‘I know what to do’ he nodded, still in thought.
The phone was given to Tonia to speak with him. She adjusted her voice to suite Temitope as a boy. Tope laughed in him on hearing her voice.
‘Hello?’ She asked.
‘I will pretend as if I can’t hear her, network problem.’ He thought and smiled
‘Hello, hello, any one there….
‘Hello I’m here’ Tonia interrupted.
‘Hello, hello, can’t hear anything oo. He ended the call and started laughing loud at himself.
“As the boss.” He said.
His phone rang again, it was Tonia trying to call back, he saw the phone ringing and was staring at it, smiling and laughing at himself.
……….
Timileyin and Olajumoke were sitted talking about the Tonia and Tope at the veranda.
‘It will be like a promotion of our friendship, abi oo’ Timileyin said.
‘They are now old enough, already on their ways to the university. At least after the whole exam, we pray for good result and they will have it in Jesus name.
‘Amen oo, I think he should come and school here, I mean his university’ Timi uttered.
‘Yeah, but just wondering if his father will allow him to sha oo’ she replied.
‘You will try to tell him naa ni, so that the two of them will know each other very well.’ She added.
‘That’s true, I will make sure he adheres’ she replied smiling.
‘Good.’ Timileyin spoke.
