Femi

"Okan mi calm down" my father said. Everything was going exactly how I knew it would.

"No, No! I won't!" My mother faced my father and then turned back to me, leaning forward with anger all over her face. "So Femi. You mean you want to go and risk your life over some girl?"

"Mom, she's not some girl okay? She's my girlfriend." I yelled. I hated it when people were trying to be classist towards Ama.

"Femi. This is a serious issue. I don't think you have thought it through very well" my father said in a calm but stern tone.

"sofun. o fẹ lati ba aye rẹ jẹ fun ọmọbirin ti o ro pe o nifẹ (tell him. he wants to ruin his life for a girl he thinks he loves)" my mother said.

I frowned at my mom "I don't know when you started reading minds mom. And dad, I don't understand that statement. I'm in my thirties. I'm a grown man. I should even be married by now so yes I know full well what I'm getting my self into."

"Femi. How important is this girl that you want to risk everything

    Previously....Femi."Dad!" I almost screamed.My dad shrugged and looked at me. Probably waiting for an answer to his question."Okay..." I stopped laughing."I met Amarachi a few months ago when she was still Shawn Ikechi's assistant." I said and my dad raised his eyebrows."Shawn? He's my good friend na. a ti ṣe iṣowo tẹlẹ (we've done business before.)." My dad said.That came as a shock to me. Shawn never mentioned my dad but it was not surprising because my father and I didn't share last names."Wow. The world is very small," I said,"Lagos is smaller. I have tons of businesses. I know almost everybody who's anybody in Lagos and Abuja. So she was Shawn's assistant? I think I've seen her once before. She's average height, very fair skinned, slim with nice hair?" My dad described.My jaw dropped on the floor. He described Ama perfectly. "Femi?" My dad said.I shook my head to get myself out of the trance "yeah um, that's her. Wow, Lagos is very very small." "Yes so tell me. What

    Previously...Femi."Femi. Why do you want to bring sorrow to you mother? Ehn omo mi? (My child)" my mom said in utter sadness. I could hear it in her voice. It triggered something in me. I was still not going to back out but it just told me to take a different approach to the situation.I had to stop acting like she wasn't supposed to feel that way because she was. Her feelings were valid as she was my mother. The woman who raised me and loved me so dearly. I was her favorite child. I had to take her paranoia into consideration while making my case.I sighed as I finished collecting my thoughts. "Mummy, I know you're upset and honestly you should be very upset. I can't imagine the scenarios you have going through your head right now. I need you to understand me though. It really wouldn't have come to this if we had other options. You know I have the money to pay for a kidney but we just didn't find one. She's O negative. Same as me. Her roommate was also O negative but she failed the

    Previously...Femi."Baby I'm sorry. I'm on my way right now but I'll take you outside tomorrow. The traffic is really packed over here. I'm sorry baby." I apologised. I wasn't about to let her blood pressure rise because of me."It's fine. But were you at your parents for this long?" She asked. She sounded suspicious but I understood why. I did tell her I was coming real soon.I chuckled "Yes I was. My mom was making a fuss about something and I wanted to calm her down. That was it. But then you know she made me stay and eat what they prepared. I'm the favorite child. Wasn't shocked.""I don't know if I should be happy or nervous about meeting your parents someday. Being the favorite is a fickle thing." She said.I laughed "Oh don't worry baby. They love you already. You'll have no problem whatsoever.""I hope so. Anyways I hope you're close. I miss your annoying ass." She said.I smiled sweetly at her words. She was really free with me now. I loved it and I loved her."Oh come off i

    Previously…Femi.I sharply stood up and placed my two hands on his chest, pushing him back with force. He went back multiple steps and crashed into the front desk where my old corporal friend was stationed at."Are you fucking sick? Who the fuck do you think you're putting your hands on you son of a bitch!!" I yelled.He charged towards me until we were toe to toe, the corporal who I could see from the side of my eye stood there in fear. What did the police academy actually train.Remi and I were toe to toe now. I snarled at him and he breathed loudly in my face."I dare you to put your hand on me on more time and I swear that would be the last time you ever use your fucking hands. Try me." I growled in his face."You think you're a big gun huh? Well this is my fucking territory and you can't do shit." He said. I saw a hint of fear in his eyes.I smirked "try me, little boy"Remi balled his fist and he was about to strike. I braced myself to catch his fist when he stopped and took hi

    Previously...Ama.I didn't like that someone was risking their life for me but I decided that I couldn't be too bothered and just hoped that whoever it was would be okay after the operation. I wouldn't want any sort of guilt on my chest.I was in my room having a chat with my brother and Radike when the entrance opened. I was expecting Femi to walk in but then I saw the last person I ever wanted to see holding flowers and a goodie hamper. "Hello sweetie."I frowned and my blood started to boil. I folded my arms. "What part of stay away from me don't you understand""Ama come on" he smirked "what kind of ex would I be if I didn't show up to see you on your sick bed.""You'd be someone who knows how to read the fucking room." I said. At this point he was still standing at the door.He walked over but Matthew used his body frame to stop Chike. "Watch where you step" my brother growled in his ear.My brother and Chike were face to face now. Matthew was ready to fight but Chike just smile

    Previously...Femi.I walked into the room to see that she was still sleeping. Normally, she would have woken at the sound of water from the bathroom but I guessed drugs were involved. The only issue I was having was that Matthew, the bane of my existence, was awake, sitting on the edge of his bed and folding his arms."So, where are you coming from?" Matthew asked, folding his arms.I rolled my eyes. "Got held by a police man with something against me" I said quietly while walking to put some clothes on so I could sleep."That's a very thought out lie. She won't suspect a thing." He said. It wasn't a surprise that he didn't believe me. I would have been shocked if he did."How about because there's nothing to be suspicious of? Look, I know you won't believe that I'm telling the truth but I am. What kind of a guy would I be if I went to fro-lick with some chick when my girlfriend is in the hospital fighting for her life." I said still quietly. I didn't want to wake Ama up."Yeah okay.

    Previously...Ama.I had asked Femi to try and take me outside because I was frustrated of always lying and sitting in here. I couldn't walk on my own so I could not go by myself. But the doctor didn't want me exerting myself for some reason. Femi had left already to get permission from the doctor to take me outside. I was sure that it included threatening the poor man but as long as there was no fighting and pummeling, I was good.I was eating my last bite of bacon when Femi walked in excitedly."We're clear. I'll take you when you're ready babe." He said and grabbed the wheelchair from the side and expanded it.I smiled "Thank you, but wait, I know you... how did you get him to agree?"Femi chuckled "I appealed to his conscience. You've been in here for two weeks without seeing the sun and sky... I threw in your mental health and he bought it." He lied. I knew he was lying. He wasn't looking at me while speaking.I looked at him from under my lashes. "Femi Akinjola... you threatened

    Previously...Ama.Femi looked at me with a seriousness. My heart started thudding. I just hoped he wouldn't lie to me. I was genuinely scared that he would act suspiciously."Um, so I told you I went to Tunde's house first and then I also went to Kola's. Thinking about it now, like I told your brother last night, I should have just told them to meet me at a bar or maybe Brass and Copper so I could have saved time." He started. He had a valid point. He burnt a lot of fuel going back and forth between lekki and Ikoyi. Tunde lived in Ikoyi while Kola lived in Richmond Lekki. His parents lived in Banana Island which was also in Ikoyi. He didn't section the visits well that was for sure."Yeah I know. You didn't plan those visits well I must say." I said.He chuckled "Yeah so, I went to my parents' place. It was kind of important stuff. My mom wasn't happy so I tried to make her come around before I could leave. That included me staying there for a long while because she said she missed m

    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.
