(MTB) Meant To Be (A Nigerian Story)

33

Two weeks has passed and Ayo had moved into her own self contain apartment around Ikeja. She was checking jobs online and since Itunu was still on holiday, she was also looking at affordable schools.

Kore on the other hand could not move on. Work was off limits and all he did all day was sit at home and think.

The Friday of that second week, he was seated as usual at home when the door burst open.

"I knew it!" Tade exclaimed.

"You knew what?" Kore asked in a bored tone.

Tosin answered, "We knew you would be here. Still moping about."

Kore asked, irritated, "What else am I supposed to do?"

Tade advised, "Guy, you gaz move on. You can't keep sitting at home. Do you know how your company is running? No. Do you know if you've lost some clients due to your inability to gather yourself together?"

Kore said, "I don't care."

Tosin said, "My guy, you have to care. Even if you are going to get AY back, it can't happen this way. You have to be a man, put your emotions together and stop putting your life on hold."

Kore said wistfully, "I miss her."

Tosin said, "Everybody knows that. Even the press are speculating. What I am saying is that, once you get yourself together, you can even look for her, abi?"

Tade agreed, "Yeah. I even get one private investigator wey fit help you find out her location and every every."

Kore asked, excitement in his voice, "Really?"

Tade confirmed, "Yes."

Kore trailed off, "But...?"

"But what?" Tade asked noticing his sad face.

Kore answered, "The last time I talked to her, she told me not to look for her."

Tosin asked, "So?"

Kore said, "It won't feel right spying on her."

Tade asked, "Don't you want to know how she is doing? And your son? How he is faring."

"I do." Kore answered.

Tade suggested, "Give the guy a call and let him do what he knows best. Even if you don't go to them, at least you will know they are safe."

Tosin said, "That's true. Give it a shot."

Kore concurred, "Okay."

"Good. Oya baba dress up mey we go take something light for bar." Tosin said.

"I am not in the mood." Kore said.

"You gaz be in the mood o, abi ki lo ni mo so, Tade?" Tosin asked,

Tade looked up from his phone and said, "Yes o. As a matter of fact, me I wan see 'ukwu' this night o. Make I get small rocking, make my body come down."

"Na ass go kill you." Kore said laughing.

Tade hissed and said, "Yen yen yen yen yen. Like say no be wetin dey make your head turn be that."

"E ma ba ara yin fa nbe*. You, just go and get dressed and let's go." Tosin said and pushed Kore up.

Hello Boos and Baes,

Another short chapter?
Sorry but this is like an alternate ending.

If I normally name the chapters, the next one would have been a new beginning or something along that line.

Thank you for your patience.

Our story will soon end.

Probably five or more chapters and we say goodbye.

E ku aduroti. Thank you for standing by me and MTB.

Starred Words

Ukwu- ass (I am not sure that's the right spelling, my igbo people please help me. Dalu)

E ma ba ara yin fa nbe - Be arguing with each other there

Ayo is heart broken. What do y'all think about that?

Leave me a comment, let me know what you think.
