Thanks for the lift, I.. gotta go now" as the call trailed off, she goes straight to her WhatsApp to add his number to her blocked list.She rolls out from her bed and muttered out ofbreathe "ever since that day, this pervert has never stopped calling!! Doesn't he get tired?" she picks up her phone and sees twenty-three missed calls staring boldly at her, "What the hell! Is he mad??" she unlocks her phone but instead of Alfred's number, she eases a sigh of relief as she sees the missed calls are from her friends, Tade, Susan and Chichi.

She tiptoes up the stairs but her effort was proven whacked as the light comes on, she stops abruptly as she meets her mom, whom she was trying so hard to avoid, sitting at the top edge of the stairway "where are you coming from by this hour of the day?" This is the question she had hated all through her lifetime, which made her stay away from home since she was a teenager. She can't believe the person whom she chose to harbor under her own roof will still police her around at her age. She rolls her eyes "work" she says as she squeezes her tiny self through the little space left from the wall to where her mother was sitting just to escape her mother's round of interviews. "oh oh! Work around this time? Do you not know what the time says? If you have children to take care of, would you be walking in from work at this hour?" Her mother stands up inquisitively,

SUSANSusan wonders for the umpteenth time why a man would just bail out on her without having to hear or see her first. "Has it finally gotten to this? Won't I go for deliverance like this? Maybe my father's family has finally caught up with me after several years of my mother's trial to keep me away from them since his death" Her mother knocks on her door softly, she wipes away the tiny tear off her cheek and calls out to her "come in"Her mother walks in grinning from ear to ear "so how did it go? Do you like him" Susan lets out a teary no and her mom rushes to her to hold her in a firm embrace "what happened? Is he not good looking? Does he have an attitude? Tell me baby, you don't have to like him, someone else will come by" Susan is forever grateful for the kind of mother God has gifted her, she holds her up when she is about to break down which happens almost every hour as she is just an extremely emotional person "No mom, he didn't even call at all" her mother let out a fuss
