Femi.I had been looking for a good time to propose to Ama and I felt like now was perfect. We were celebrating her recovery from one of the lowest moments of her life if not the lowest. This was a good opportunity to break out the big guns in front of everyone she loved.I already planned everything and told everyone including Kola. He did not take it lightly at all. A few days earlier….Our father had just got out of the hospital. We chose not to mention the whole cheating scandal to him at all until he was better. Kola had also moved in with the family.I always went everyday. I could not move in because of Ama’s condition. I had to be with her as well. I was however doing a good job of juggling the two places that no one felt like I was neglecting the situation. I was lucky that I was not stronger than I was when I had just completed the surgery.One one of the days I was going to my parents’ house, I decided to tell them and also Kola at the same time that I was planning to pro
Previously..."Well there's been a lot going on. I did give her my kidney and she had had it very rough. So there's not been any time for that. But after the proposal Emi yoo rii daju lati mu u wá fun ounjẹ alẹ. eyin eniyan yoo nifẹ rẹ maṣe yọ ara rẹ lẹnu. o jẹ iyanu (I'll be sure to bring her for dinner. you guys are going to love her don't worry. she's amazing)" I told them."o jẹ iyalẹnu kedere ti o ba jẹ ki o yipada fun didara julọ. Inu mi yoo dun lati ri i (she's very clearly amazing if she made you change for the better. I would be happy to see her)" my mom added."Yes she is. Well I'm excited for the new addition to the family. Where is she from?" They asked. This was the hard part. I didn't know if they had a preference with tribe or not."She's from Imo state dad." I said."Oh that's good. I have friends from Imo state, good people and you are fluent in Igbo so language is not a barrier." My mother said. I loved how supportive she was being.I had thought tribe would be th
Previously…"I like the sound of that. I haven't really talked to her about kids." I said. I didn't know what I was thinking that I didn't ask her about that."Ah Ah even I who does not plan on getting married knows that that is conversation 101. You have to talk to your significant other about things like that oh Femi," he said.This was the first time he was giving me this type of advice when it came to Ama. Was I to say he had softened up?"Well, ko dabi pe mo n gbe e ni iyawo ni bayi. akoko pupọ wa lati sọrọ nipa iyẹn lẹhin igbero naa. kẹhin kẹhin Emi yoo kan ṣe ohun ti o fe. (it's not like I'm marrying her right now. there's plenty of time to talk about that after the proposal. last last I'll just do what she wants.)" I said.I was hell bent on giving Ama anything she wanted. At this point her happiness was my own happiness."It's fine. You're spoiling her but I understand last last." He said.I stood up. "We'll time for me to go back upstairs and see the Fam. You coming?" I as
Previously..."Before you continue my boy, isn't it absurd that I don't know you that well, you are dating my daughter so you I should at least know the basics. Even when you told me of what happened to her you never really introduced yourself properly." She said."Okay, my name, is Femi Akinjola like you already know. I am 31 years old and I am the co-founder and Co-CEO of Tuwomi Construction and Developers. One of the biggest most contracted construction companies in the country. Any government office you enter now was probably most likely built by me and my brothers. Both here in Lagos and in Abuja and some states in the middle. I'm also an Engineer." I said."Hmm, impressive. And who is your father?" She asked.I told her my father's name and what he did. "I've heard of him." She said. "But I thought his only child died." She added. That was something that struck me.We never actively identified as his kids in public. It was just never a thing for us because we weren't popular bec
Previously…Femi."Echegbula nwoke m. ozugbo iwu mmachi ahụ dị, ọ gaghị abịaru unu abụọ nso ma ọ bụrụ na ọ chọghị ịga mkpọrọ. (Don't worry my guy. once the restraining order is in place he won't come near the both of you if he does not want to go to jail)" he replied."Thanks man." I said and left him. I went to look for him when Kola cornered me."My engaged brother. I haven't seenyou yet. Congratulations bro. nigbawo ni igbeyawo (when is the wedding?)" Kola said. He looked tipsy."Thanks man. se o ti nmu?(have you been drinking?)" I asked him."Yeah just a little. But really bro that was a beautiful speech. Really and truly very inspiring." He said."Thanks. You know I was writing stuff down then I just threw it in the bin and said fuck it. I'll just improv. It turned out great though." I said. I really wanted to stop talking to Kola in the moment because he was drunk. He was not very stable minded when tipsy and I didn't want to handle that now."That's nice." He slurred."Okay th
Previously…AmaI looked over and saw Shawn still with Radike. Radike was really laughing at whatever it was he was saying. "Babe look at that." I said.Femi turned his head to their direction "Oh already? That's really good for Shawn. His ex wife don't deserve no gym membership phase from him."I laughed. "Not the gym membership phase. Babe. Why are you this savage?" "It's true. She cheated. It's gut wrenching but she was never really a good wife to him so she doesn't deserve the crying and gym phase that men with heartbreak go through. If he likes Radike that will be good for her. Best guy I've seen in a while." Femi said.I looked at them again. They would really make a lovely couple,And then something occurred. I saw Kola walked really fast in their direction."Oh fuck" Femi said and left my side, going to block Kola. He saw what I saw as well.Unfortunately, Femi could not get there in time and Kola initiated a punch at Shawn.———Femi.I didn’t understand what was happening. K
Previously...Femi"It's fine. I'm not exactly sick anymore, I'll just wait for you. You need to go and fix this." She said."Thank you for being so understanding even when you don't have to be. When I come back we will celebrate okay?" I told her, smiling at her.She smiled "okay babe. Now go," she said.I giggled and kissed her lips. Her sweet and luscious lips."Bye" she called out as I entered the elevator.———-Femi.Leaving Ama was really hard and it wasn't right by any chance. She was really understanding and I certainly wasn't going to take that for granted. It was already seven in the night. I had to make sure I got back to her early. This was not going to take too long by any means.I started driving down to Kola's place where Tunde had taken the thorn in my flesh. I had to set him straight. Hopefully he was sober by the time I got there.I went and was met with heavy traffic."What the actual fuck?" I said under my breath. There was no way I could even maneuver this. There
Previously…Femi."That's cock and bull. Even in a drunk state, there must have been a reason and it seems like you know it" he said and tilted his head to the side waiting for my response."Um okay... I will tell you but please don't take it too seriously. Kola was just acting and being a fool." I said. I hoped I could pacify him."Okay go on?" He said."Yeah so um, Kola and Radike had a thing before. On and off if you will. I told him to stop because he works for us but he wouldn't listen. Thankfully, she broke it off herself. They are however still friends. But I guess he still likes her." I said.Shawn smiled and nodded. "I guess that was why he was pissed but it didn't reach to to such because that was my first time speaking to her. I mean I was flirting a bit. She is very very attractive so no surprise there. If they are no longer together why should he do that? She's not his property man." Shawn said."Yeah I know man.. I know. He himself cannot even explain what just transpire
