Immediately Iyunade walked into the house, Bunmi and Stella fixed their gazes on her, which she avoided as she walked up to a chair and took a seat.
"I am really famished. Is there anything I can eat in this house?" she asked in another attempt to avoid the questions she knew was on their minds
Tunde laid on his bed deliberating on whether to call or chat Iyunade up. He had been stuck on what decision to take for over 30 minutes. He knew he had to appear normal and not too forward when talking to her."If I call her, it would look like I am being too forward," he mumbled, then picked his phone which was lying at his side.
Tunde strolled down the stairs happily. He had woken up with a smile plastered on his face, he was just so happy.He got to the end of the stairs and walked straight into the kitchen to meet Mama Ife and two other maids who bowed their heads when they saw him.
Iyunade eyed Chief Adeakin angrily as they sat inside Cafe Chrysalis. She was furious that he had called her without any former notice but there was nothing she could do but meet with him. The nonsensical old man was busy devouring the plate of Fried rice and chicken smacking his lips. The sight made her cringe and tighten the grip on the fork she was holding.
"I pray this Ibadan sun will not roast me one day oo," Bunmi complained loudly.Iyunade nodded in agreement as they continued their walk towards the school parking area. The sun shined brighter and hotter as if to acknowledge the statement made causing the girls to groan in irritation.
"Bro Tunde, won't you eat? Dinner was served about two hours ago," Ife said. Her tone of voice showed that she was worried about him. Since the day they met Chief Adeakin and his female companion at the newly opened restaurant, he had been moping around with a sullen look on his face. She had tried to ask him or do things to shake him out of the funk he seemed to be in, all to no avail. Even right now, he was on the floor of his room, just lying down and staring into space.
The cool breeze swirled around the atmosphere and felt like a soothing massage to Iyunade's face. This was exactly the reason she loved sitting in the compound of her hostel. Most times, the breeze made her relax so much that she forgot her problems, even if it was just for a moment.Sitting outside is always worth it.
"Yes Mama Ife. My friend is still in coma so I still have to be in Abuja for some days. No, don't worry. The doctor said he will soon regain consciousness," Tunde said into his earpiece as he drove through the roads of Abuja."Okay son. I pray he recovers soon. Everyone especially Ife misses you here at home," Mama Ife replied. He could hear the mixture of feelings in h
"Thank God you are back. I actually missed your sexy ass," Caleb teased while making squeezing motions with his hands. Tunde rolled his eyes as he ignored him.Gbenga hit him upside the head before he said, "Will you just shut the hell up. I am beginning to think you are bisexual."
Iyunade cautiously asserted Tunde's large room. It was quite neat and well arranged and that made her wonder if he was someone who liked well organized things or maybe the maids were assigned to take care of the room. She turned her eyes back to her side where Tunde, whose eyes were fixed to the movie shown on the Television, sat. She took the opportunity to acknowledge his facial features and she could now see the resemblance between him and his mom she had met at the kitchen a few hours ago. As she continued to stare at him, she began to wonder why there was a bad atmosphere between him and his mother. He had sounded very round and she was sure with the few days she had gotten to know him, he wasn't someone who would be rude to his parents, especially his mother. The image of the way his mother's eyes sparked with disgust while they had their argument flashed through her eyes and that made her more curious and confused at the same time. "You seem to have something on your
Tunde walked into the kitchen slowly with Iyunade in his arms.Mama Ife who was already in the kitchen with Ife turned to them."Oh Olatunde, good morning. Nice,she is finally awake." Mama said as
Tunde walked into his parents living room with Iyunade sleeping in his arms. She had fallen asleep inside the car and her body was beginning to burn up with temperature.Ife who was the only person in the living room immediately jumped up from where she was sitting.
Iyunade walked sluggishly down the corridor of her and her friend's apartment.She was still very sleepy but she had to wake up early because she had an eight o'clock lecture.She cou
"Iyunade!!" Iyunade jolted out of her dazed state as Stella shouted her name.She immediately turned to where Stella was sitting.They both were sitting in their hostel's sitting room
"Iyunade!!" Iyunade jolted out of her dazed state as Stella shouted her name.She immediately turned to where Stella was sitting.They both were sitting in their hostel's sitting room
"Iyunade!!" Iyunade jolted out of her dazed state as Stella shouted her name.She immediately turned to where Stella was sitting.They both were sitting in their hostel's sitting room but Iyunade had been in deep thoughts."You know I have been called your name more than four times now.?" Stella raised her brows." Oh! I am so sorry. I was just lost in my thoughts." Iyunade replied."Why do I have a feeling that you were thinking about Tunde?" Stella asked, making Iyunade's eyes widen.She couldn't even deny it because Stella had guessed right.It's been a month since she and Tunde became friends and she was starting to know things about him. He wasn't as how she and her friends had thought he would be. He hasn't shown any behavior she should be worried about.But,he travelled to Abuja three days ago and he hasn't called her or even messaged her. His number was not even reachable when she called it. She was beginning to get worried and scared as different questions kept crossing her mi
Chief Adeakin rolled the pen between his fingers as he stared at the picture of Iyunade and Tunde that had been taken outside Kenneth Dike Library, in the University of Ibadan.Anger was an understatement to what he was feeling right now. What he was feeling was equivalent to rage.He felt himself roll the pen faster between his fingers. "Anything yet?" he asked before he raised his head to look at Patrick who was standing at the other side of his office."No sir. I haven't found anything yet," Patrick replied.Chief Adeakin immediately dropped his pen and placed his index finger and thumb on the bridge of his nose."Why is it so difficult for you to find anything about her? I have a hunch that she must have done something bad elsewhere. She can't only be stealing my money. Like you said, she is the one providing for her family. This means she would have been doing other things to get money," the Chief said."But do you think she would do something like that outside? She doesn't look
Tunde had a lot on his mind as he hurriedly walked out of the lecture room. He had been waiting and expecting Iyunade's call throughout the weekend, with the hope that she would accept his offer. But there had been no call, not even a flash. His phone suddenly vibrated inside his pocket. He had put it on vibration mode when he was about to enter the lecture room earlier. Dipping his hand into his pocket, he pulled out his phone.He smiled on seeing the caller ID and immediately tapped on the accept button."Hmm! What did I do to deserve this August call? I hope there is nothing for me to be worried or scared about," he said smiling as he walked through the department corridor."Hello to you too. I think the word to use should be cautious, not scared," Emmanuel's voice echoed into Tunde's ear."Cautious? What is it about? Did something happen?" Tunde asked worriedly."Hey man, calm your horses. There is nothing to be scared about. I just did a little research on that murder case and I
