The Yoruba Demons 182
Ama.I sent Femi off after our little discussion. I was actually very glad that he was being very understanding to the situation. It was never my intention to spite him. I would admit that I was trying to hurry up so that Femi wouldn’t meet Chike in my room. But that worked out great I guessed. I knew that Femi was upset when I woke up and did not see Femi beside me. That was when I started crying. I knew Femi would have been here if everything was fine.I laid alone until someone opened the door. It was Radike.“Hey are you okay?” She asked with a sober look on her face when she came in.“Yeah…” I breathed out.“Where’s your boyfriend?” She asked.“I told him to go see his family. It’s actually necessary that he do that” I said.She nodded “yeah, Kola told me what happened.” She said absent mindedly.“Wait first… Kola? When did you start speaking to him again?” I asked her. This was a surprise no doubt.“Well, it’s a long story.” She said while trying to hide a smile.“Oh bullshit i

Femi.Ama chased me off and I reluctantly left her room to go and see Tunde who was quite obviously waiting for me to come back so that we could talk about the situation that our family was currently in.It was a hard one but I was ready to face it. The deed had been done and there was nothing we could do about it now. I just had to be by my family.I entered my room and saw Tunde on the phone. I waited until he was done answering."Hey man." He said and shook me before he sat in his usual chair."Yeah what's going on?" I asked gesturing to his phone."Bro, it's just office people trying to give me a headache. There's this deal we are trying to chase. It's worth billions." Tunde said.I got shocked within me. "Wait, why don't I know about this deal because I'm sure it's not one of the deals that we are currently working on. Those ones are not worth billions like you said so why am I not aware and what even is it?" I said with my voice stern and stiff. I couldn't believe that they his

Ama.I was surprised to see Shawn here. Since Tola sent the flowers from him I hadn’t heard from him after that. I had thought he forgot that I was in the hospital.He came in and greeted Radike. He smiled when he saw me. I remembered when I had a stupid crush on him even if I knew that he was married. Now I loved Femi and all my attention was on him. Even though Shawn was still attractive, I had gone past the little crush I had on him.“Hello Amarachi.” He said walking closer to me, I grinned. I also noticed he was holding a hamper full of stuff. At this point I wouldn’t be buying provisions for months.“Hello sir…” I said and he scoffed and smiled again.“Don’t sir me. I’m not your boss anymore.” He said and stood by the chair.“Okay Mr Shawn. You can sit.” I said. I was a bit nervous because my boss had a really strong presence that was hard to shake off. You had to be on your utmost best around him.“Just Shawn” he said while sitting down. At this point, Radike had gone out again

Femi.“So my brother… what do you think about the situation with mom and dad. Because me I don’t like it to be completely honest with you. Where is Kola self?” I asked Tunde. It was important for me to know where his head was at going into the hospital. I wanted to know if I was acting crazy or not.“Well I will tell you this man. I was heartbroken when mom told me what dad did and all. It was mind blowing more so when she said what he had been going through because of it. I know the doctor was in on it that was why he didn’t let us into his office.” Tunde said.“Of course. He’s the family doctor and also happens to be a partner to the heart foundation. It’s all clicking now.” I inputted.Tunde nodded “Yeah, as for Kola, he’s still with mom. You know how he is. Always swallowing his thoughts because he wants to be the favorite. I can’t believe he’s not even pushing back even a little. Just swallowing everything hook, line and fucking sinker. It’s annoying like they’ve been literally l

Femi.Going into the hospital I felt nervous and paranoid. I was scared not of my family but scared that I would flip again. I calmed myself while going up to the room where my dad was kept.We knocked on the door but before we opened it to go in, Kola opened it, came out and shit the door.“Hey broskis. You’re back” he said.“Of course we are back. We want to see dad.” Tunde said.“What is this” I asked him frowning. I didn’t have a clue what was happening right now.“Hey, calm down. Dad’s awake and you will see him. I’m not restricting that. I just wanted to tell you something first.” He said in hushed tones.“Okay then get on with it.” Tunde said.“Yeah so I wanted to tell you guy that you shouldn’t say anything about them not telling us about this. At least for now. We don’t want to stress dad out do we?” Kola said.“Kola, we aren’t children now. We would have been able to read the situation. We just want to see the man bro.” Tunde said.“It’s fine, can we go in now?” I said.“Yo

Femi.My mom’s words really didn’t make any sense but made some sense at the same time. I didn’t understand how that was even possible but I had to accept it.She said that she couldn’t leave him because of his condition at the time which was understandable. But how was she sure that what my dad did was out of character for him. Was she just going by what he told her or was she absolutely sure that he wasn’t doing that for a long time and just got caught.I knew it wasn’t my place to form a moral high ground. I was worse and so were my brothers. We could not talk too much knowing out track record. I didn’t want to over flog the issue. We all agreed not to talk about it right now and that included shutting it down immediately it arose.“Mom it’s okay. You’ll be fine. Dad will be fine.” Kola said and and squeezed her shoulder for comfort.The tears I had in my eyes had dried up. I still felt very heavy. Looking at my dad laying there was very hurtful and painful indeed.The door swung o

Femi.Going back to the hospital after that mess had happened, I was excited to see Ama and hug her. The whole day was already a mess and I was thoroughly tired and exhausted with it. I was angry with all that had happened. I couldn’t just have peace sometimes and most times Ama gave that to me.I felt relieved when she spoke to me about my mom and dad’s situation that was eating me up inside. She also steered me in the right direction because being mad at my mother at this time was not ideal for me at all or my family. I needed to focus on the matter at hand which was my father’s health.I got back in the hospital and went straight to Ama’s room. I opened the door and saw Ama on her bed hugging someone?It was a man but I couldn’t see his face. A huge man whose body physique looked rather familiar.“Babe?” I said as she looked in my direction. It was only then that I looked at the man and saw that it was actually Shawn Ikechi, her former boss. I had heard he sent flowers to her befor

Previously.."Is that what I think it is." Tunde said with wide eyes. I didn't thinking Tunde believed his eyes which made me chuckle."Yes" I said and opened the box to reveal the perfect ring that I had picked out for Ama."Wow, it's so beautiful. Jeez I didn't think you were serious bro." He said and took the box.I nodded "I was" I said. I had started work on the ring ever since I told Tunde that I intended proposing to Ama. I knew I was kind of rushing but who cared. Why would I wait. There was no reason to wait. I loved her so much and she loved me. She brought out the best in me and me in her. We worked so well. I couldn't even be angry at her for anything. We were almost to perfect of a match."So you're sure about this?" He asked. He was always one to think about logic before anything else."Yes I'm sure. I want this so much. I want her so much. I want her with me for the rest of our lives man. No other woman matters. I wouldn't give my kidney up to just anybody now haba." I

Ama.The day had ended. I felt giddy to go home and tell Femi all that happened today. My dream was being fulfilled before my very eyes. I was living in it. I really appreciated Femi's dad for giving me this opportunity. I was very grateful.Femi texted me, telling me he was downstairs and I ran into the elevator without knowing, meeting Tola there. "Ha, hey bestie... why are you running like that?" He said with an amused look on his face."Running ke, me? Never" I said, feigning ignorance of what I just unknowingly did."It's only man that will make you that excited. Femi is here isn't he?" He said.I folded "Yes he is." I rolled my eyes "I'm just happy to finally see him that's all. He's been MIA throughout today." I said."Ahn ahn why?" Tola asked."Well he's been in a meeting and I get it you know. Today is his first day at work since the transplant so I understand. They were probably doing an organizational meeting of some sorts." I said."Okay I get it. Anyways how are you enjo

Femi.I felt so bad for not answering my fiancée. I looked and saw a text from her. “Hey, I know you’re probably busy. You wouldn’t believe what just happened. I’m so happy. Gahhhh call me when you can. Ly x” the text said.I didn’t want to dampen her own mood in any way. She seemed very happy about what was going on around her. I was still sad and emotionally downcast and I knew if I spoke to her in this mood she was going to leave everything she was doing and appear in my office. I would really appreciate her presence now but I also didn’t want to spoil her happiness. I decided to text her saying that I was going to be in a long meeting and I would come pick her up when she’s ready to go. She texted back for acknowledgement. I dropped my phone and sighed, placing my head in my hand. I seemed to be doing that a lot.In my mind, I was trying to picture how this woman could even be remotely related to me. I had to keep telling myself “my parents are dead”. Whoever this woman was, she

Femi.Today was a good day. I was very giddy while entering the office and it wasn't even about anything that I did or was going to do. I was just very glad that Ama was finally getting her flowers. It was vivid in my mind how she would always talk my ears full on how many ideas she has for the Lays project even when it was not set in stone that she was going to handle it with Kechi industries. She had so much passion for this that i knew she was going to do very well with it.As i walked into the office i was greeted by the front desk representative and before i could leave the lobby she said "There's someone here to see you sir. She said she is your mother." She said.I frowned. My mother never came here before. It was strange that she was here. "Okay where is she?" I asked. I hoped for her sake that she didn't send my 'mother' to my office."The conference room" she said. I sighed and walked in to my office first to drop my laptop and gadgets before going downstairs back to the con

Ama."So, the Lays project was actually suggested by me for business continuity. We were brainstorming for strategies to have more leverage in the manufacturing market and I came up with this. We already have a deal with Pepsi who are the primary owners of the Lays brand. It is such a big brand in the US. Now we have to latch on to the brand more to be able to keep our relationship. We already have the Quaker Oats deal because we asked them for it and that is why Quaker Oats is no longer an imported brand. Now is the time to take Lays. This will mean that Lays would be cheaper here in Nigeria and would make more sales, generating revenue for the company. We need to design the product and pitch it to Pepsi for approval and rights." I said. Once I was done with my speech, there was a roaring thunderous ovation for me. Even the HR manager who looked scornfully at me before was ecstatic. I felt good indeed."Any questions?" I said once I was done with my presentation. I had shown them a c

Ama.The meeting went from project to project until it finally got to my turn. The Lays Project. Shawn smiled when he saw it. He had texted me before today that I had to come and defend the project in front of the board. They had approved it but wanted to know if I knew what I was doing. They are very unserious because I was the one who came up with this idea so what more did they want? I however, tried to study what had already been rendered and made slides to display what I was about to say.I stood up and walked over to the front of the conference room and started my presentation. I was looking around at the faces before I started and my eyes landed on Shawn. He gave me a small smile and a nod. I felt more confident as I was feeling nervous before.

Previously...Femi."Wait I actually told the doctor to still do the test with the fetus they removed. I know it's dark sided but I don't want to be beriddled with grief that's not mine to bear. Because I think it's my fault. If I wasn't shagging some girl and actually answered the phone on time maybe they could have saved the baby you know." Tunde said."There was no way that you could have known," I said."How long till the test comes out?" Kola asked."By tomorrow." Tunde said."So calm the fuck down. If the baby is really yours then you can now cry as much as you want but I am sure that the baby isn't yours. That girl is a slimy snake." Kola said.. "As for you, I will call Dad's therapist. You need to get yourself straight after the damn drug use." Kola said."Okay. I don't want dad to know though" Tunde said."He won't know don't worry. Therapists don't snitch on their clients. Even if Dad will definitely know you're seeing the therapist, he won't know why and think it's for your

Femi.Tunde just stood there staring at us but we didn’t waver. We had to intervene. Tunde did not look good in any capacity at all.“Tunde you need to speak.” I said after a while of silence.“Why? Why do you guys think that something is wrong with me?” Tunde said while twitching, even though I doubted it before now I was sure that he was using.“God! Tunde where did you get the drugs from!” Kola yelled, he was not having it. Tunde was getting irritated now.I held Kola’s shoulder. “If you come at him like that he won’t say anything,” I said to him.I looked at Tunde, “The reason why we think you have a problem is this,” I pointed at his appearance,“You’re really insecure about your hairline but your hair is growing out, you never let that happen for anything. You didn’t even wear a cap to cover it. You’re dressed like a homeless person. Shirt not tucked in, tie loose, clothes rumpled. No suit on a Monday morning that’s very unlike you.” I said.“And let’s not forget the uncontrolla

Previously…Femi."Well after all this it seems like I have to get an executive assistant because the work is plenty. I need someone to keep track. This just means that our company is growing day by day and I am proud of everyone and the work they have put into this while I was away. Thank you so much. Speaking of our company growing, it may seem as though we have made enough money for us to raise salaries. You all have done a wonderful job. I will liaise with HR. Expect those emails." I said. Everyone cheered and I liked to see smiles on their faces. They would only be happy to work for us when they are happy with the benefits they get.Once the meeting ended we cornered Tunde in the conference room, just the three of us and I used my phone to shut off the surveillance cameras so that we could effectively speak to our nit wit brother.———-Femi.“Oya what is going on with you, quickly.” Kola said.“I don’t understand why you guys are attacking me like this” Tunde replied. I noticed h
