Ama.While walking to the interrogation room where Chike and Femi were, I saw Tunde coming towards me. That took him long enough.“Wow Tunde. You took your sweet time didn’t you.” I told him.He chuckled and gave me a light hug. “Let me guess. That amebo man told you that I was coming outside abi. Don’t mind him. Anyways there’s this hot police lady I saw that I had to talk to first.” He whispered mischievously. I wanted to spank his head.“Ha Tunde. I thought you were following in Femi’s footsteps abi no?” I said.“No I am now, I am. But these things take a while plus Femi’s case was peculiar.” He said.I folded my arms. “How so” I asked him.“Well, you are his soulmate. It’s different. I remember the glimmer in his eyes when I caught him staring at you the day that you guys met. Even when he was passively wooing you. He didn’t fathom that he was in love with you yet. He didn’t see you coming I guess. I knew. Even Kola thought it was one of those things that we do but it was actually
Previously..Ama.Him and I walked together until we reached the interrogation room where Femi was currently interrogating Chike. I was still scared and taking deep breaths to calm myself because this was something I was always scared of. Seeing him again.When we got there, Tunde and I turned to look at each other. “Don’t be scared Ama, I’m right here. Femi is also in there. You can’t be hurt. Okay. He’s chained. He can’t hurt you anymore okay?” He said.I nodded and smiled. He squeezed my shoulder. And I hugged him.“Thank you” I said. He hugged me back before we pulled away. Now I was ready.——-Femi.Ama walked in with a very straight face and my mind was just there doing backflips wondering what the actual hell was going on here. She was very uncomfortable with even the thought of seeing Chike and now she was here? I didn’t understand it.“Ama?” Chike breathed out.I looked at Chike then looked back at Ama.“Ama baby, you don’t have to be in here actually.” I said and walked to
Previously….Femi.“Okay that is new information. But come to think of it what if, what if it helps her heal instead. What if this is what she needed instead of sitting with a shrink for hours who will kuku quote self help books to her. Have you thought about the fact that she might actually need this talk just to get it out of the way.” Tunde said.I sighed, trying my hardest to calm my nerves down. It was not working but I suppressed it because I didn’t want to lash out for the wrong reason. I didn’t like that my fiancée was in any form of close proximity to Chike.I sat down in the waiting chair and put my head in my hands. I was hyperventilating already.“Are you okay? She will be fine bro” Tunde said and sat beside me.“I hope he doesn’t trigger her.” I said.“I think she can handle herself alright.” Tunde said.I really hoped it wouldn’t be that serious.———Now…Ama.After Femi left. I stood looking at the door for some seconds before turning around to face my nemesis. This was
Previously..."Okay let's just say that sounds good and sounds like something that makes sense. Okay you acted so unloving until I broke and left you. Why did you start pursuing me again if you didn't want me before?" I asked him."Who said I didn't want you? I did want you so much. I even thought that as I made money I was going to spoil you silly. But then I started letting the money get to my head. I am very sorry for the amount of pain I caused you. I didn't know that I would be like this I promise." He said."You really started this whole mess. Why? Why? The obsession. Why couldn't you just let me go." I said and sat there waiting for an answer.——-Now.Ama."Ama, I'm so sorry I swear. The reason why I was so obsessed with you, now that I think about it, was my very fragile ego. I was always in competition with Femi. I hated how smug he was all the time. His popularity did not help. He was a whole influencer on social media. He was trending every other day even though they were
Previously…Ama." Nobody is talking about you dying. Now here is the thing. I absolutely acknowledge the fact that you were not in on the arson that took place that night so what i am going to do is this, I will talk to them to give you a plea deal. You speak against Ife and you get the sentence of a kid who stole candy and was sent to Juvy. About 18 months. I am not a lawyer but i know that it can be done. What do you say?" I asked him.His eyes lit up immediately I said that "oh yes definitely. Thank you." He smiled and wiped his eyes. I also wiped mine. "can i get a hug?" he asked as i stood up.I looked at him skeptically. I wondered why he wanted a hug all of a sudden. "No, we are not buddies." i told him and walked away, slamming the door in my wake. I was finally free.——-Femi.I paced and paced around after almost entering the interrogation room out of desperation and my brother Tunde gave me a resounding knock on my head. I wanted to kill him for that but I understood him
Previously...Femi."So babe, what is it with this whole plea deal thing? I don't understand." I asked her in the most quiet way possible. I didn't want her to think I was becoming controlling. That was the last thing I wanted her to think."So I'm, Chike actually made me reason that. You know, I went into that place thinking he was just going to gaslight me and try to manipulate me but he came clean. He at first tried to blame Ife for the fire but I told him quite clearly that the fire was not the only thing that went wrong. He was the beginning and end of all my problems. Ife was just a pawn in his game. She started a fire he had no intention of starting and I also know he had no intention whatsoever to harm me, but he still kidnapped me you know. Then he apologised for everything and expressed his regret over what he did, you know, so I actually tried, as hard as it was. I forgave him." I said.My eyes widened. She did what?———Femi."Wait wait wait, you forgave him? That fast?" I
Previously...Femi."More like snitch. If he should talk before trials I don't think we would have to go to court for this." Ama said."I don't like this. I don't like this at all. We're going to see Kola. He's at my parents' house." I said. I really needed to talk to Kola about this absurdity."What I'm meeting your parents now? Can't we plan this?" Ama said."Well it's not a big deal"————Now. Femi. Ama wasn't budging. I glanced at her and she looked pissed as hell. I womdered what the deal was. It was just the parents. I did not believe there was any planning that needed to be attached to it."I don't think i want to go there. You're putting me on the spot. We did not plan to go to your parents' place today." She said."Plans change baby. Plus it is not a big deal i assure you. Besides is it not you that just put me on the spot a few minutes ago in front of Dan. Deciding on something without discussing it with me first." I said. I knew saying it like that was quite petty but i w
Previously…Femi.“Yes, it was Chike.” I said.“What? That scalywag?” My dad exclaimed.“Yes dad” I said.“o mọ ọ? (You know him?)” my mom asked.“Yes he used to work for one of my friends. That stupid boy that ate money omo omugo” he said.“So where are they now?” My mother asked.“In police custody.” I said.“Good and they better stay there. So she’s completely fine I hope?” My dad asked again.“Yeah she is. Completely fine.“Good. ohunkohun ti o jẹ ti o ṣẹlẹ. lo ogbon. maṣe jẹ ki oju inu rẹ gbe ọ lọ, ṣe o ye ọ bi? (what ever it is that is going on. apply wisdom. don’t let the surface of your feelings carry you away, do you understand?)” my dad said.“Yes sir. I’ve heard” I was grateful that my mum swooped in and saved the day because I was about to melt into the ground. I hugged my mum and dad and went to Kola’s apartment.———-Now..Femi POVI went down to Kola’s apartment within the building. It was just a floor down from that of my parents. My parents just had a stair case lea
