Away with the Old

21.

                                                                                           
                 We love each other.

A year has passed. Meanwhile, love is here to stay. I'm here for it. Tayo and Oby have gone back to Nigeria to celebrate Christmas with their families. How will they tell their people what they feel for each other? It's up to them to come clean.

My daughter is back thank you Jesus Oby Nwam (my child) how was your ✈️ flight?

It was smooth Mum I missed you so much where are my brothers?
They went to buy something down the road. They'll be back shortly. We missed me too.

Aww big sis welcome back see as you fresh like today's bread.
Thanks my brothers I brought some goodies for you I know you will love.
We sure will Oby. Thanks for doing that by the way I heard you are to graduate the upcoming year. How's studies coming along?

It's coming up good I'm doing well in school. It's just this project that is taking a toll on me but I trust God to bless my work.

Don't worry you'll be out before you know it.
Thanks family. A big Amen to your prayers. Dad said he will be joining us next week because of work.
Yeah, he told us yesterday on the phone.
Alright, let me go freshen up and come down for lunch. I'm happy to be back home.

Tayo is back o darling our son is here.
Mum, Dad good afternoon. You both look incredible in your attire. All this for me? You didn't have to worry.

Afternoon son, we are glad to have you back home. How was your trip?
It was good. Everything went well with my studies too. I'm finally a master's degree holder.
This is great news we must celebrate it tonight. Your mother and I invited our close friends to celebrate you. I hope you don't mind?

Not at all Mum. Go ahead with your party while I go upstairs to prepare for tonight. It's going down for real. Thanks to God for everything.
Yes okomi (my darling) God has been gracious and kind to this family. I hope you'll be ready before 5pm?

Sure thing I just need to shower, eat and wear my clothes.
That's great. We will wait for you at the sitting room once you're done.
Small chops and drinks are already ok the way. The event planner just called me saying she almost here.
Ah, Mum you and Dad are seriously hosting me a party wow thanks for your love.

I hope I can invite my friends?
Go ahead. They'll be excited to see you again.
Thanks Mum I love you too much.
Off you go.

Tayo makes the call and they agreed to come by 6pm because they had events to attend that night. All that was left of him to do was to invite his beloved girlfriend, Oby.

I pray she agrees to come. Hello babe hope you got home safe regarding the fact that you refused me dropping you at your gate.
Yes I did sir you are very kind. Now tell me why is the hottest Yoruba demon calling me at this hour. You must be up to something. Spill?
My parents are hosting a party so they asked to invite my friends and does I love. Here I am my love. Please come I'll text you the address.

Let me think about I'll give you a call in one hour. Bye Tayo see you soon.
This lady will not kill me.
Mum, were you listening to my conversation? Last I checked you're still my daughter living under my roof. So, who is your boyfriend? When can I meet him?

Mum, be calming down. His name is Tayo Adeji and he's from Ogun state. He works at his family coming here in Abuja. I was invited to his welcome back party by 6pm I will come back early.

I hope his parents will like you. Yoruba and Igbo people hardly agree to that kind of marriage.
Mummy, marriage kwa you are rushing to conclusions here. Take it easy. He's not proposing now or tomorrow. We are getting to know each other better. Besides, I still have a year to finish school. I can't be married before then.

Alright then, I see. Take care of yourself and be very alert tonight because his friends could be no good. Stay safe my darling daughter.
I will Mum and I love you too.
