Adunola arrived at work, The moment she walked in, Bukola suddenly grabbed her closer and said “Adun, Have you heard this” She asked “Bukky what’s that” Adunola asked “It was announced on the TV this morning that Mr Robert’s Mum is dead, Chris’s grandmother is Dead” Adunola got shocked, Her eyes almost popped out, She looked at Bewaji who was watching them, while Bewaji said “Yes His grandmother died yesterday,And it was said that she was the one who took care of him,She is Chris’s favorite,He really love her,But now she is dead,Poor Chris” Adunola got more surprised, She stared at both Bewaji and Bukola, while they also stared back at her, The three ladies stared at each other in deep silence…

Adunola arrived back home, she remembered her last conversation with Chris “Oh my God! Adun what’s wrong with your mouth, Why would you speak that way,Wait a minute what came over me that day,Oh no I can’t believe I spoke so silly that day,Of course I don’t,but I jus….arrrrgh” She grabbed her hair so hard

“Something must be wrong with me, Ha! Adun why can’t you caution your mouth, That day I spoke to him anyhow, who knows maybe he is probably reacting to that, who knows maybe I hurt him with those words, and now his grandmother is Dead,I wonder how he is feeling right now, God what exactly is wrong with me, Ok ok ok ok, This what we are going to do, Apologize, Just Apologize, But how can I do that, My prideeeee” She stood up from the chair, walking up and down “Sis are you okay” Adunola almost fall down “Oh my God you scared me Alex, Why are you acting like a ghost” She said and walked back to sit “Wh… Why are you speaking t….to yourself” Alex asked “Of course am not, I was only trying to make

a rehearsal on how to speak with my customers” She said with a smile, Alex stared at her, thinking if she is ok or not “Sis are you sure yo….yo… you are ok” He asked

“Of course I am, don’t worry about me, am perfectly fine” She said with a smile again. Alex stared at her before he walked in back to his room, The moment he

left, Adunola stood up again “Haaaaa, What Next, Ok apologize, Just Apologize to him, Am really sorry about what I said that day, honestly i was quite drun….

Arrrrgh! But I was not drunk that day” Suddenly she remembered that she also slapped him that day, She looked at her two hands, staring at them “Why can’t you stay in one place, why can’t you Just stay still” She said while staring at her hands, “Oh my God Dinner Dinner Dinner Dinner Dinner” She quickly ran to her room to change into her pyjama, she came out, Packing her hair into ponytail, She ran in to the kitchen to make their dinner….

Alex arrived at school,He walked in straight to his class, He was surprised to saw Dara and her friends. The moment Dara saw him, she snubbed him while she continued discussing with her friends,Alex looked at her before walking to his seat,Not too long his friends arrived while they all sat with him,His friends began to discuss but he wasn’t with them, He was only staring at Dara but she wasn’t looking at his side….

Chris sat in the club alone, Just him alone, He was so deep in thought, Every single moment he shared with his grandmother flashed back to him repeatedly, He tried to hold back his tears but they came out freely on his face, Suddenly he remembered what Adunola told him “Forget about the fact that you are handsome, If you think your money, Your American Accent,Your Face and everything are going to work on me, Well am sorry to tell you that you failed, You can never be my type, You can never be the man I will trip for,And one more thing,Don’t you ever drag me that way again” Chris made a smirk and said “I can never be the man she will trip for, Is that true” He poured himself a wine, Suddenly he remembered his grandmother again “I miss you Grandma, I Miss you” He bursted into more tears, His Grandmother’s words flashed back to him “Just breathe and have faith that everything will work out for the best, Never let a bad situation bring out the worst in you. Choose to stay positive and be the strong person that God created you to be, You’re not going to master the rest of your life in one day. Just relax, Master the day, Then just keep doing that every day” He dropped the cup and said “Yes, I am turning a new leaf, I promise you Grandma that am going to surprise her, am going to be the guy she will trip for, Starting from tomorrow am going to be the real me, I will look so responsible that she is going to trip for me so badly, Yeah just for today, am not going to come back here again, Starting from tomorrow I want to live a normal life, Yeah that’s what I will do” He asked them to give him one more bottle while he poured himself the wine….

Adunola and Bewaji on the street, They were both done at work. Adunola got herself some medicines for pain relief,Bewaji waited for her outside. Adunola paid them while they both walked back home, Adunola arrived to her street, The two friends hugged eachother and departed to their various houses, Suddenly Chris’s thought filled her mind, she thought of how to plead him, She slapped her cheek so lightly and said “Now you are on your own” She said to herself. When she got home, she was surprised to saw a car at the front of their house, She moved closer to it slowly, Suddenly Drew came out of the car, He gretted her while she also did the same, She was surprised to saw Chris at the back seat, but he was already sleeping, She looked at Drew while he said “Am really sorry Miss, Actually he told me to bring him here, he warned me not to take him home tonight, I am really sorry to bother you, But can you just allow him to sleep over” Her eyes almost popped out “M…. M…. My house” She asked while Drew replied with a smile…..

The next day, Chris woke up feeling some headaches, He opened his eyes slowly,He stood up to sat on the bed, He was surprised to found the room so different, He looked around the room and found Adunola’s picture in a frame, The frame was on a table which was next to the bed, His eyes almost popped out, He tried to think about what happened yesterday but nothing was coming through, Suddenly Adunola walked in with a cup of tea, She smiled at him while he looked at both his left and right to see if she was smiling to someone else, She placed down the cup of tea,Very next to him. She sat on a chair that was next to the table, She smiled and said “Good morning, and how was your night, Am sure it’s good cause you slept on my bed while I slept on the couch in the living room, Anyways if you don’t remember anything, why don’t you try and drink this tea, maybe you will remember that you were the one who told your guard to bring you here last night,I wonder why you won’t go to your house” She said “M…. Me” He asked “No

me” She replied, Suddenly Alex walked in, He was surprised to saw Chris on Adunola’s bed, He stared at Chris while Chris suddenly remembered the way he hugged Adunola the day he saw them, suddenly Chris looked at him without taking his eyes off him, so also Alex stared at him without blinking his eyes….
