Abiola's POV
I was about to close my room door, but it got hooked. I looked up to see Tobi, then looked down and saw his foot. He pushed open the door and walked in.
"Tobi, just leave. Please!" I cried out.
"Listen to me, atleast you slapped me already." He said touching his cheek.
"I don't care and I'm not sorry. Just leave!" I snapped, but he just looked at me. I gave up trying to chase him out and sat on my bed, face buried in my palms. I heard his footsteps coming closer to me and I looked up at him. He squatted in front of me and tried to hold my hand, but I moved away from him. He rubbed his face and looked at me.
"Please, listen to me." He said, grabbing my hands firmly.
"I don't want to." I hicupped. He stood up and walked out. I heard the front door slam close and I knew he had left. As much as I wanted to know why they played me like that, I wasn't ready.
Abiola's POV"Abiola!" I heard my name being called. I turned around to meet the gaze of Wale."Hey." I said and began walking forward. Currently, we were going into the restaurant."You've been ignoring me, did I do something wrong?" I rolled my eyes."Of course you did." I stopped immediately and turned to him. My parents and konyiis parents stopped, so did Bola and Tope."What did I do?" He asked. I felt like bashing his head on the floor."Are you asking me what you did? The fact you've been playing me all along or the fact you're a bastard!" I snapped. He looked at Tobi all of a sudden and anger flashed through his eyes, while Tobi kept his calm."So you told her huh?! You fucker!" He said and punched Tobi square on the jaw. I gasped and ran towards them, holding Tobi by his arm. He didn't react, he only looked at
Abiola's POV 8 months later"Ahh!" My step mom shouted, clutching her large stomach. She bent over using the couch as support. Right now, I had gone home for my weekend visits. I had promised my mom I would only be coming on weekends to spend time with her. A lot had happened in the past eight months. Konyii and Ayo finally got married after so much drama from her dad, her mom threatened to leave with all her kids and Konyii would still get married and there's nothing he would do about it. He hesitantly agreed. Gun long forgotten. The wedding, which was five months ago, was just amazing, her cousins even her grandma came and she totally ignored the old woman, till her wedding day which she only greeted her and that was all. We also used the opportunity to meet Ayos family, but Tope avoided each and everyone of them. Now, she's three months pregnant and takes every oppo
Abiola's POV "You're so naughty!" Tobi said tapping my nose making me giggle. We were in his room, cuddled up on his bed. A movie was showing for background noise only. "What?! I'm serious, but I can't wait to hold Bella again. She's just too beautiful and I can't explain the feeling." I said playing with the ring he gave me. I thought of asking him about his parents but decided against it. "Spill it." He said pulling my cap, I quickly held it tight on my head, slapping his hands away. He hasn't seen the length of my hair yet and has always tried to see it. "Spill what?" I asked, looking as if nothing is bothering me. "You want to ask about my parents, ask. What do you wanna know?" He said standing up. His sweatpants going down a little, I quickly averted my gaze, before my mind goes haywire. "How did they die?" I asked slowly. He looked at me and I regretted aski
Abiola's POV "Are you going to do double piercing for her?" Konyii asked Fikayo who was seated on her bed, resting her back as she fed Bella. "I don't know, her dad might not want it." She said, referring to mine and Bella's dad. "I'll do it for her, he can't get angry at me." I was using the advantage of the fact my dad knew deep down, I was still a little mad at him. Fikayo looked at me and nodded her head, I knew she wanted it too. "Make it three, it's all on you." Konyii said. "Nah, two is okay. When she grows and she wants more, I'll always do it for her." Fikayo shrugged placing Bella in my arms. I placed her carefully in her pink decorated cot and covered her body well. They would be leaving in the evening, so my mom was setting things up. I love my mom so much and no one can replace her. Many women out there won't help with anything, instead, it would be fight all day long.
Abiola's POV "I don't think I can do this." I breathed out, rubbing my palms together. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I was dressed in a white mermaid off the shoulder detachable bridal train dress. A white scarf tied in a bun and another long one draped and pinned on it. A light nude make up on my face. A short silver sheets and a white feather bridal hand fan. I was fully dressed and all I was waiting for was for my mom to come and get me. "Don't even try it." Konyii came closer to me, holding my shaky and sweaty hands. She was heavily pregnant at 7 months and could hardly move her swollen legs, she's with twins!"I don't know, I'm just....." I said sitting down. Just then, my mom came in, she saw how distressed I was and walked faster. "I can't." I whispered, face palming myself. My mom came and held my hands in her
Abiola's POV I woke up the next morning all sore from the exercise we went through over night. I looked over at Tobi and he was smiling. "Who knew you could be that naughty?" He teased burying his head in my neck. I hovered over him and started kissing him again, but my phone rang, bringing us out of the make out session. I looked at the caller id and it was Ayo. I picked it immediately. "I'm sorry for disturbing you, but...." He trailed off, his voice shaky. I became scared immediately. "But?" "Konyinsola..." I jumped up from the bed. "What happened to her?" I asked putting on the sweatpant I saw on the chair. Tobi stood up too and came to collect the phone from me. He kept it on loud speaker. "She's in the hospital, she was bleeding." He said. I began hyperventilating. "Well be there in a bit." Tobi responded and rubbed
Abiola's POVWalking through the overly crowded and overly busy streets of Aberdeen, walking past people you might have passed before more than a thousand times but can't remember. Everyone too busy with either their phones or other things. I have no destination of where I'm going just decided to take a stroll and I found my self in town so I'm just walking around taking busy routes..."oops, sorry, " Someone said to me as they bumped into me"Omma sorry, my bad, wasn't looking where I was going, " I said as I walked passed him and we were facing eacthother. Thank God my slushy didn't pour because I would have cried, I don't joke with my food. And I would have cried harder coz this summer sun can boil water and still boil egg. Being a hijabi isn't helping at all, I'm all sweaty underneath my hijab and can't wait to go home and take a cold shower...."Let's go, day dreamer," Konyii said as she dragged my hand"W
The next day we woke up with backaches, next time I'm chasing them away from my bed, everytime I say this I don't keep my word."Next time, I don't want to see you guys on my bed, ni to ri Olorun" I told them stretching my body, hearing the cracking sound they looked at me and I looked at them."Was that your back?" Konyii asked."No your back " and I rolled my eyes standing up and going into the bathroom "E lo sha lu wala oo" I shouted from the other side of the door."Yes ma!" that is definitely Bola.We prayed and went back to sleep didn't even have breakfast, guess we'll be having brunch."Aburo mi, bawo ni?" I heard my cousins voice all the way from my room."I'm good aunty, " I heard a masculine deep voice talking in Brits"Gosh you're much taller than the last tim

Tobi's POV Gawd, I messed up. I looked at my watch as I waited for the damned time to hurry up, it's as if the clock is going slower. Tope has also been ignoring, saying there's a high chance Abiola won't talk to her, because we had told her to be a part of it when she said no. I looked beside me to see her using her phone, I tried touching her but she removed her hands and turned around completely. I sighed and kept on waiting. The image of Wale immediately got to my vision and I wanted nothing but to snap his head out of his body, that bastard. I thought I could trust the fool, but I was very wrong, very very wrong. I saw Tope stand up, I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "I'm going to get something." She said and walked away. I watched her go into a shop and I kept on watching to make sure she comes out safe. Some minutes later, she came out holding a plastic bag. She dropped it and the bag op
Abiola's POVI walked out on everyone, with Konyii running after me. He can keep his house and his wife, since I'm not needed. I started walking in the wrong direction to Konyii's house, until she dragged me back and pulled me with her, while I just followed her. She opens the passenger door of her car and I got in, while she got into the driver's side and we drove to her house in silence.When we got to her house, we came down and went inside. Her dad was seated on the sofa, watching some sports. When he heard us come in, he looked and nodded his head while we greeted him and walked further into the kitchen. My heart was beating and legs shaky. Remembering what I had done the last time I came to his house."Mummy!" Konyii called out to her mom who was cooking something like pasta. She turned around and smiled,seeing my teary face she walked over to me."What's wrong?" She asked cupping my fa
