Previously…

Femi.

“Hello Dan…kedu ka i mere? (How are you man?)” I asked him. I always tried to reciprocate the language that was spoken to me.

“Adị m mma. Miss Ama ọ dị mma ịhụ na ị dị mma ma dịkwa mma ugbu a. Ọ dị m nwute nke ukwuu maka ihe merenụ (I’m fine. Miss Ama it’s good to see you are well and okay now. I’m so sorry for what happened)” Dan said. What really struck me about Dan was how kind he always was to people. I had no idea if it was because of our relationship because I had none with him before Ama went missing. But now we were really blossom friends and I was grateful for that.

“Thank you sir..” AMA’s said. Her voice came out shaking. Was she… scared. The ordeal must have done more to her than I realized.

“biko nọdụ ka anyị buru ụzọ nwee obere nkata (please sit let’s have a little chat first)” he said and we obliged him.

“So what’s been happening while we weren’t in contact?” I asked him.

“Well, ọ dịla ọtụtụ ihe m ga-ekwu. Anyị enyeghị Chike ekwentị, anyị enyeghịkwa

    Previously….Femi.“So you finally remembered that you kept me here.” She said.I sat in the chair in front of her. “Have you finally come to kill me.”“I wish I was allowed.” I said with venom. My blood was already boiling just by looking at her face.“Of course you are. These people deprived me of a phone call and a lawyer at your behest I’m sure. So you could kill me and they will hide you.” She said. She was deliberately trying to get on my nerves and I was not going to fall for that.“Why?” I asked her.“Why what?” She spat.I kissed my teeth in annoyance. “Don’t have that tone with me, I was not the one who tried to fry your fiancé alive.”“You asked a question that didn’t have any destination. Clarify.” She said.“Why did you try to set her on fire? And don’t try to deny that it was you. You were arrested at the scene of the crime smelling like petrol. Petrol residue was also found on your jacket so you can’t even lie. Now why did you do it?” I asked. I wanted to erase any way

    Previously...Femi.—— Ife's flashback—— I lounged about in my living room after a nice date with my boyfriend Femi. I couldn't believe how lucky I was to call someone like him mine. I was so in love. He was the sweetest and most genuine person ever.A knock on my door brought me out of la la land.I went and looked in the peep hole and it was Richard. My ex. I wondered what in Gods name he was doing here.I opened the door wider for him to come in. He was wearing the usual grey sweatpants and a hoodie with a flannel shirt creeping out from underneath.I closed the door and came to stand in front of him. "So now what do you want?" I asked."Oh? Where is your roommate?" He asked."She moved. I'm here alone now." I said."So you can now afford this place by yourself. I know the lease has ended so you are paying for this alone? Last time I checked you had no job," he said.I hadn't told him that I was in a relationship with Femi. Femi had posted me on his social media so I guessed he sa

I thought it was disrespectful for him to address a pastor by his name."Okay sorry, Pastor Iren. Till today I still don't get idi ti o fi fun u wipe itage ti a yoo ti ṣe milionu ati awọn milionu lati (why you gave him that theater that we would have made millions and millions from)" Tunde said."Ah Ah Ah. We don't speak about that. It was the right thing for me to do. Let's leave it at that okay?" I said.He shrugged and I excused myself to see my fiancée who looked distraught.-----------Femi.I went on over to where Ama sat waiting for me but she was not there. I looked around but I could not find her.“What?” I said under my breath. I knew where I had left her but now I couldn’t see her again,“Where the hell is she?” I said and took out my phone to call her. I saw a notification of a message from her.I

I said and she ended the call.Tunde sat in the corner tapping on his phone."Tunde arakunrin mi, jọwọ ṣe o le lọ si ọkọ ayọkẹlẹ ki o tọju ile-iṣẹ Ama nigba ti mo n tọju nkan nibi? ko ni gba gun. (my brother, please could you go to the car and keep Ama company while I take care of stuff here? it won't take long.)" I asked him."Ah Ah you don't have to say that twice. Be careful sha. Don't kill the guy." He said and smiled. I smiled back before he turned back and left.It was finally time to see the other one. Chike.—————Now.Femi.I went to meet Dan. I had to tell him that I was finished with Ife so that I could move on to the nextcell which was that of Chike. I dreaded even going to meet him but I had to. Just for my own sanity and peace of mind. This was the reason why Ama was not discouraging my going to meet with him. She knew how important it was for me to do this. She was also supposed to do this as well but she was not in the right

    Previously…Femi."Alright all done I guess. I'm really anxious to see those losers behind bars. They don't deserve any form of happiness. Not after what they have done to my family." I said. I was not just upset for Ama, I was also upset for my brother Kola who was now permanently scarred with third degree burns that he would have to live with forever. It was really crushing. I didn't know what I would do to Chike when I saw him but I knew that he was not going to go to jail without receiving something from me. This was even though I promised pastor Iren that I was going to be careful not to be violent. He will have to scold me after this.Dan made the call for them to bring in Chike to the interrogation room. It was time to see my arch nemesis and also get him to confess———-Now…Femi.I walked back into the interrogation area but before I entered where he was held I stood ourside and did a little breathing exercise. I didn’t want to hurt him but I was so pissed at him that I could

    Previously…Femi."I actually feel sorry for you. I mean I love Ama to death. I'd literally give my life for her, almost did even but I have never fought for a woman that's not mine and who does not even want me. That was quite pathetic. And she almost died because of you." I told him."But I wasn't the one who started the fire," he said."You enabled it!" I yelled. He was being very defensive and I was not going to have it. He went silent."If your trifling ass wasn't so obsessed with her would that fire have even happened? You might claim you wanted her alive but you gave Ife the ammo to do what she did." I said.He went silent.——Ama.I felt bored in the car and Tunde was taking forever to come out so I decided to call Radike to talk a little before Tunde would come out.“Hey boo,” she said on the line once she picked up.“Hey, see ehn we are currently at the station.

    Previously...Ama."I don't even think I can manage that Radike. I'm scared and I haven't gotten over what happened." I said."Yeah... I know that but the only way you will get over it is if you talk to him. I'm serious now."I thought about it for a while... Could i?———Now...Femi.After a moment of silence and head bending. Chike finally raised his head. He could not for the life of him look me in the eye. As he should because he played really dirty and he knew it. He knew he messed up. I knew that deep down, he loved Ama and he almost got her killed because of his unhealthy obsession with her.“So, anything to say?” I asked him.Looking at me, his eye twitched and then he facepalmed. “I honestly didn’t know that Ife was like that.”“How did you even meet Ife. What’s your relationship?” I asked. The whole thing was looking weird in my eye so I wanted clarity.“Ife um, I tagged you with a Provate investigator as you already know and I got reports about Ife and who she was. How she

    Previously…I sighed. He was sober. I felt calm now. "I forgive you. But it is not me that you harmed in the process of all of this. Ama is a mess right now. Her arms are temporarily scarred with burn marks and she cannot bear to open them when going out. She came here and had a panic attack at the thought of you. She hadn't even seen you at all. She wouldn't want to admit this but she is actually not okay and it is because of you. You need to set things straight with her." I told him. As much as I was involved in this it wasn't my place to give him forgiveness. It was Ama's. They needed to speak."I know all that but how can I even do all that from in here?" He asked."I am right here" I heard a voice say from behind us and the door slammed shut.I looked behind and saw Ama staring past me with a death glare in her eyes.I knew she was out for blood. I had so many questions but the most recurrent mine in my mind was What was she doing here.———-Ama.After my talk with Radike, I felt

    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.
