Femi.

"No I just want to be alone." She said,

She moved to go but I stopped her. "Femi, let her go." Tunde said.

I put down my hands and she walked out, putting her hoodie ov

Ama.

I needed to go out to clear my head. I had thought and thought and thought about the whole thing but nothing was making sense to me. I didn't deserve to be called all the slurs under the Sun. People were jealous because I was light skinned and got a favorable experience with Femi who apparently dated a lot of dark skinned girls before me. Maybe that was the problem. Walking down the street I thought maybe, just maybe that was the issue. Him dating and breaking the hearts of dark skinned girls did not help my case. How did the first light skin be dated get a ring?

I would ask the same question too. The street was quiet. It was probably because it was Saturday morning. It was normal in an estate like this.

As I walked towards the next street, I saw a car drive towards me.

    Femi POV.I was absolutely devastated that I was physically trembling when Ama left. I watched her walk out the door with utter anguish.I went back slowly to sit with Tunde. “Bro it’s okay.” He pacified me.“Man I don’t know” I sighed “she’s really hurt and I just want to be there for her bro.” I said.“Well bro I think you should just let her be for now. If I were her I would be feeling resentful towards you because it is basically your fault that she’s like this. They’ve called her all the slurs under the sun because they are bitter, why? You have blatantly dated and broken the hearts of dark skinned women without remorse and then you get a light skinned one and you give her a ring. You caused this but I guess that’s past. You just need to try and get over it bro. Just try. Be strong for her. The funny thing is that she is the one receiving the backlash and not you so just try to be there for her when she comes back.” Tunde said. Tunde was being very slick here. He first off told

    Previously…Femi.“Shut up man.” I said back and he chuckled, that was how he always like to tease. It was true that I refused to change my iPhone from 11 but I wondered what the reason was so I didn’t do it, that was until I got AMA’s new gadgets then decided to change mine. Why was Tunde now trying to make a big spectacle of it?I dialed AMA’s number, completely ignoring my brother’s foolishness. It rang but she did not respond. I tried again and again but no response.“Wait, do you hear that?” Tunde said.I stopped and listened while I still tried to call Ama. It seemed like ringer. It was in fact, AMA’s ringer.I stood up and rushed into the bedroom to see that AMA’s new phone lay on the bed. She must have left it in order to rid herself of the urge to go online and see the nasty things said about her.“Oh fuck me.” I said.“What to do now?” Tunde said.“Well we have to go and find her and now. Quickly.” I said and took my car keys. We were off.———Femi.Tunde and I rushed down t

    Previously...Femi.We waited for a few seconds before Radike opened the door looking exhausted and disheveled."What?" She asked angrily."You're not even going to invite us in?" Tunde said and smirked.She rolled her eyes and sighed "come in"We went into the living room to absolutely nothing. The place was squeaky clean like she was just waking up."Is any one here?" I asked her."No. I literally just woke up. What is this interrogation ehn tori Olorun. And why did you not bring Ama?" She asked.I looked at her eyes and she kept staring into mine. It just meant one thing. Ama wasn't here."She's not here?" I asked."No. I thought she was with you. I called y'all to tell you about what was on Twitter and went back to bed." Radike said.I rubbed my eyes "Jesus Jesus Jesus" I muttered."Calm down Femi." Tunde said."What is going on? Is Ama missing?" Radike asked."Yes. We can't find her." Tunde said."Fuck!"

    Previously...Tunde."CCTV. There should be some in the estate right?" Matthew said."I was just thinking that" Femi said."Yeah we can get the plate number of the car and track it right?" Radike asked."Exactly. That's a good plan." I affirmed. It was good to see that everyone was thinking on their feet.My phone rang and it was Kola again. I just hoped he had good news for me."What you got for me man?" I asked."So the POSSAP guy said that they would check the CCTV footage. He just needs to know the street where this happened?" Kola said."Um talk to Femi. I don't know that estate we'll." I said and gave Femi the phone."Hi.." Femi said. He was in no mood to talk."Yeah yea it's fine.... Twenty two crescent just by the junction. Yes... we found her bracelet there and tire tracks so they definitely must have taken her from there." He said."Okay.. okay thank you so much man I owe you one." He said and gave me back the phone."Now we wait." I said and looked at everyone. The worry et

    Previously...Femi."What the fuck" someone breathed at my back. I saw as they carried her into the vehicle and moved. "First of all, who would do this to her, secondly, in an estate with that much security how did they succeed in carrying her out of there." Matthew said."When I find them... because I will certainly find them. God help them." Femi said."No, this is too much now. Who would do this???" Tunde said."Please what's the way forward?" Kola asked. I massaged my temples as a way to calm myself down because the steam that was building in me begging to pop off was not normal."We have the plate number. They were stupid enough to not hide it. We will track is and hopefully it will lead us to where they have her." The officer told us."Well anything we are doing let's speed it up. As time goes it's getting more uncertain what her status is." Tunde said again. He was right. The more we waited the more these monsters had the time to do what they wanted with her."Okay sir.

    Previously…The others came out after I did and we all got in Kola's SUV. That was enough for all of us. I could have used mine but I knew I would drive with no decorum. I didn't want to inconvenience the people I was going with that was why I was avoiding anything that would make me lash out or act in an unusual manner.Thankfully there was no traffic on our way to the Ibeju Lekki gate. Also thanks to the End SARS protests held at the Toll gate two years ago, the fee collection at the gate stopped and up until now we weren't paying a dime for passing the God damned gate making it easier for us to get to the meet up point.Once we got there. The POSSAP team was also parking their vehicles. I was relieved that we didn't get there first and have to wait for them,"Mr Dan, thank you so much for your efforts in finding my fiancée so far." I commended the lead officer. He smiled and shook my hand "it's a pleasure sir. That is what we are here for. Saving lives and helping people. Be rest

    Previously...Femi.The police team had asked us to go home until we were able to trace the person who owned the car. On that note I had asked everyone to leave my house and just call me if there was something. I wanted to be left alone. I needed that space.I laid down in the sitting room looking at her pictures on my phone. I started crying. She was the world to me and if anything happened to her I didn't think that I could recover."Baby I hope you're alright..." I said. I really hoped she was okay.I looked at our engagement pictures which the photographer sent in today. I wished she was here to see it too.The call came in from Kola."The guy is in the station. You wanna go there?" Kola said immediately I picked up the phone."Well, yeah. I want to speak to him myself." I said and stood up wearing my clothes and I was off to the station.Getting to the station I saw Tunde and Kola there with Matthew. He was deeply involved and that was very good."Hey guys."

    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.
