The Yoruba Demons Chapter Ninety: New Plan
Previously…Femi.I walked to her room and all of a sudden I saw Matthew storming out."Hey Matt what's wrong?" I asked him but he ignored my question and strode past me.Looked in the direction he went and then looked ahead to Ama's ward. "I wonder what that was about.Did he get into an argument with Ama or Radike? I decided to go and find out.I opened the door and walked in to see Ama laughing with Radike. It was good to see that she was in high spirits."Hey baby" I smiled and walked deeper. I went and planted a soft kiss on high lips."How are you? And hey Radike." I said and Radike smiled."I'm fine. That's a huge trolley you have there" Ama said."Well I got you some food and some things you might need while you're here." I said and started removing things from the cart."Okay... good timing. I'm very hungry. Did you get water?" She asked."Yes I did, you want some?" I asked.She sighed "Yeah"I brought out a bottle of water from the carton and gave it to her. "Williams do you

Previously...Femi."Baby, you need to eat." I said trying to make her see reasons why she should eat. This was how it had been for a few days. She wouldn't touch any food. Even if she did, she would not eat up to half. She had already shed a lot of weight due to the illness and had started becoming pale. It scared the shit out of me. "I'm not hungry Femi leave me alone" she responded. She laid on her side facing the wall while I held a plate of Chinese rice and chicken. She loved it. But now she was being difficult."Ama come on you need to eat to have strength okay. Plus your meds...""I don't want the food and I don't want the meds. Leave me alone" she snapped."Arrrrhh Baby. Would you at least talk to me about what's eating you up?" I said in frustration.She didn't reply. I let out a sigh, there was a lot of tension. The last thing I wanted was to argue with her in her condition. I didn't want to hurt her or raise her blood pressure.I sighed again and stood up. "I'm gonna leav

Previously...Femi.Radike was being defensive for no reason. Who cared if it did it or not . The only people I felt that I had to convince were my parents and Kola. Tunde didn't need much convincing. Kola was a control freak and I knew he would try to stop me."I'm not talking about that because okay if that's the reason then by all means, knock yourself out. But it's Ama that I'm concerned about. She's been going on and on about how she doesn't want us to be the donors. She won't let you do it." Radike highlighted."Then we don't tell her. I'm not going in for the surgery with her anyways. She won't know till after the surgery when we are both awake. She can roast me then I don't fucking care," I said. I had thought about this subject prior to this. I knew she was anti close donors. She wanted someone who she didn't have sentimental attachments for. She didn't want us dying on her account. Did I care about that? No. We just needed to hide the news from her. She didn't have to know i

Previously…Femi.I saw Radike coming down the stairs when I got out. She walked faster to me when she saw that I was approaching."Hey, what's happening. Why do you look so sad?" She asked."Well first of all, I um, Yeah what about Ama. You're coming from there right?" I asked her. That was the first thing on my mind.Radike sighed "yeah, she's the same as she's always been. Um she still hasn't eaten." She told me.I smiled "well, maybe she'll eat when you tell her that we finally found a match.""Really?" Radike said expressing joy on her face."Yeah." I said with a grin."Oh thank God!!" She exclaimed.She stopped and looked at me in the eyes. My smile waned. "Wait a fucking minute. It's you isn't it. You just went to run the tests now." She said. She was always the observant one."Yeah it's me. Why are you acting surprised. You knew that i would do it if I was a match because let's face it. What other choice do we have?" I said.Her face became sad “I know. But Ama won’t like this

Previously…Femi.I decided to call Tunde first before I got there."Hey my bro" Tunde said enthusiastically."Hey Tunes. I'm actually driving over to your house. Got some time for me?""Anything for you my bro. You know my house is always open.""Okay but are you alone?" I asked. I didn't want to be direct and ask about Kola. So I went through the corners."I'm gonna act like you didn't just ask if Kola is here. No he isn't. I'm alone." He said and laughed."You idiot" I said laughing."Anyways be coming. Bring shawarma or I'll punch you in the face before you can lay your burdens." Tunde joked."What is this obsession with shawarma lately. You're slowly turning into Shawarma boy." I teased. He laughed and threw another snarky comments low key shading cheap Lagos girls that fall for a guy after eating a thousand Naira worth of shawarma."I'm a shawarma boy only to you and Kola. I don't go around sleeping with women who buy shawarma for me. I do the buying." Tunde said.I laughed out

Previously...Femi.Tunde pinched his nose. "Bro. This is a piece of information we are supposed to be celebrating about. You went and said it was complicated. I asked you why and you're here telling me things that I already know." He scolded me. He seemed anxious so I understood why he was talking like that."Calm down Tunes, I'm getting to it." I said.He nodded and paid attention "Go on then""So the Doctor offers or kind of suggested a solution. That I should get tested." I said and gave him the side eye.He didn't move. It seemed as though Tunde was waiting for me to continue."So did you get tested?" He asked."Yes yes I got tested Tunes. That's where the complication come in." I said and stared him in the eyes. He raised his eyebrow in question and then raised them both in realization."What the fucking hell Femi." He said with shock written all over his face."I have to do it bro" I shrugged,"Man... this is dangerous bro." He said shaking his head."What's more dangerous is l

Previously…Femi.I dialed Kola’s number while leaving Tunde’s compound.“So he remembers me today?” Kola’s voice came through the loudspeaker.I shook my head and rolled my eyes. “I didn’t forget you Kola.”“Oh you did. Ever since your chick has been in the hospital you’ve been MIA. Like in every sense of the word.” Kola said. There he went playing the victim and blaming Ama for my absence.I shook my head again. I noticed that I always did that anytime I was talking to Kola. It was maddening.“Yeah well if you had gotten your head out of your ass long enough to realize that Ama has a terminal illness then maybe you’ll understand and .. I don’t know… actually come and see her. Anyways I just called to tell you that I need to see you, so where are you at the moment?” I asked. I couldn’t leave my statement open ended to a avoid an argument.“Wow you actually left her long enough to look for me. That’s great. I actually just got home from the office. I hope I’m safe. This your wanting t

Previously...Femi."Kola, for Ama's transplant. Remember I told you that her time had gone down to four weeks so we had two weeks to get a kidney or we were in deep trouble." I said. I tried to be calm at the fact that Kola stupidly did not remember anything about Ama's illness. I even thought her just wanted to seem like he didn't care because I didn't know him to be this void of human emotions."Oh yeah yeah I know. So what about it?" He asked and sipped his juice. He had poured out a cup for me earlier but that was the last thing on my mind at the moment."So I went to see the doctor today and he told me that he had reached a dead end. Before that, Kola also told me that he had exhausted all his contacts as well. But he suggested something to me..." I said and tried to see if he would ask me what in a way to know if he was even listening as his glasses were so tinted that I could not read his eyes."Okay, so what did he suggest?" He said. I opened my mouth to reply but his new cat

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
