How do I end up feeling so empty after doing the right thing ,
I told her the truth to her face yet am the one mopping around the house trying to not think about her

I tried to channel all my anger and frustrations to doing something positive , I buried myself in work finish all my outstanding projects beforehand but I guess that has never really been a problem

Once my creativity storage is fully charged am ready to blow my employees mind and speed is just one of my added qualities

So when Desmond and I were talking about moving out of our comfort zone and doing something spontaneous we decided it was time to move to Lagos

I was going to do my service there just as my mama wanted while Desmond will be starting his law school in VI Lagos too

We started making plans, we were looking out for apartment as we concluded to be roomies again , we had already set the date to leave PH , booked our tickets and hotel reservations pending the time we'll check out our accommodation options and choose one

I was fighting so hard to take my mind off FiFi Archibong, I was pushing her to the back of my mind but it's not working

I still randomly scroll through her page on Instagram and Snapchat to see if she has updated anything but she's been really quiet since her last post which was Desiree's birthday

No new posts , no stories update, no like no comment because I have already set her page in a way am notified about all her comments and likes before it is posted so I can rectify any errors , is not like I can stop her from posting it but I can delay it while I talk to her to either fix the mistake or delete the post

It's a tech thing and am really good at it
I have designed it in a way I can see those she recently followed and liked or comments on their post but lately it's been really dormant

Which makes me feel like she's might be feeling remorseful but if she is feeling that way why won't she just call me and try to rectify things. Am I not an option for her anymore

So I won't drive myself nuts I have been following my mom to the shop lately and helping her with her expansion and social media outreach

Mama Olisa Cosmetics and skincare Enterprises is doing really well, mom now has her own small office for special consultation so instead of being camped with the ladies doing manicure and pedicure and talking non stop about skin acne and pimples and rashes and sunburn and black spots

I will just stay in my mom's office and design her website, create content for advert and promotions

"Olisa"  my mom popped in later that day

"Yes mama"

"How is it going in there?"

"Very well ma, am almost done"

"Do you need anything water, ice cream, juice or snacks "

"Nah mama am okay "

"Are you sure "

"Yes mama if I need anything I'll let you know "

"Okay son, oh that reminds me I want you to meet someone "

"Mama pls am not in the mood to meet your customers and hear you tell them about how you wished for a baby girl and got a boy instead "

"That's not true, you know I only say that to promote my brand, Everyone thinks my Olisa is a girl and when they find out he is a very handsome boy they are tripping so am super grateful that you are my son "

"Whatever ma. Can I work now"

"No you need to meet Sonia "

"Who's Sonia?"
