I wake up in the morning at around 6:30 am. I already packed my things last night so I simply take a bath.
After taking the bath, I put on my lace grey underwear, black silk bootleg trouser, black shirt, I put on a dark blue sleeveless blazer and blue wedges, and yes I like to match.

I let my hair loose and then I use my shades as a hairband, I take my handbag and I put my new phone inside.
I hear Alvaro knock at the front door so I take that as my cue to leave. I take my three travel bags and before I leave I take one last look at my room, not much memories were made here, all I did was work and work. I then head downstairs.

"L you do not have to go you know" Alex says the minute I reach downstairs.

"Alvaro can you please take these bags to the car, I'll meet you there in five" I ask him and he takes my bags and off he goes.

"I have to little man" I say as I pat him on the head.

"We will miss you dear" my nena says as she pulls me in for a hug.

Alexis is quiet and I assume that she is the only one who understands so I just give her an apologetic smile.

"I am not one for goodbyes, bye guys I love y’all" I am not sensitive either so I just head for the door.
When I look back, Alexis is crying, I give her one last look and then I head out. The last thing that I need is to have a conversation that will lead to a change of plans.

We get to the airport and Alvaro helps me with my bags and then he helps me wait for my flight to departure.

"Everything sorted?" I ask.

"Yes, you will arrive in Lagos around midnight, Emeka will be waiting for you, he is your personal driver and he will show you around. He will take you to your house in Lagos and then Monday morning you can start looking for a job if you want one, your mother is somewhere there at Lagos so it shouldn't be hard to find her, I changed that three million into nairas, and you are pretty much set."

"And then they wonder why you are my right hand man" I take my tongue out at him.

"Awwwww what an honour" He fake smiles.

They announce that my flight is to leave soon.

"Goodbye goofball" I say as I start to cry.

"You are crying Banana fudge?" He asks and I smile at him.

"Cute nickname, I'll miss you" I give him a hug.

"You’re forgetting that I will be popping in to see you every month"

"I know"

"Have you spoken to Bauti?"

"Why?"

"I do not think he is taking this well"

"Oh"

"Oh? You know that you still love him and he loves you too, talk to him...I do not want to be the one to have to put him back together"

"Alvaro...He is fine okay"

"Okay well hurry on now your flight is leaving, take care of yourself okay? I love you man"

"I love you" And with that I am off. I head for the search department and I hear someone call my name.

"LAYLER!"

"Jerry?"

"You cannot leave like this, what about my child?"

"There is no child" You do not deserve to be a father.

"You killed my child?" He asks and I look down as I start to walk.

"Okay well, it doesn't matter, I love you okay?"

"How did you even find out that I am leaving?"

"It doesn't matter please stay, we will fix this whole my uncle is your father thing, no? Okay at least give me your new number please"

"Goodbye Jerry."
