Chapter 32

Femi's POV

"What on Earth is wrong with you? Do you know how scared we were? You should've at least called or something!" I yelled at Kunmi over the phone. After trying her number multiple times today, without her response, I was frustrated beyond words. Her parents let me take her out of her house cause they trust me so much and are counting on me to bring her back home without any excuses or stories attached. So you'd imagine the anger that brewed up inside me the moment she finally picked my call.

"Why are you yelling at me? It's not like you noticed that I was gone, so please don't irritate me any further" she sounded angry too but I knew I was way more upset.

"Kunmi, I didn't mean to yell. It's just that you really scared me. You had me worried sick about you and here you are saying I didn't notice. If I didn't notice, then why on Earth would I have been so worried?" My words came out much more calmer than before and I heaved a sigh, trying to calm my nerves. Damola was too busy driving, and although he really wanted to speak to Kunmi, he had to concentrate on the road. Meanwhile, Chioma sat at the backseat quietly.

"I'm fine, so please don't worry about me. I'm at home right now, I called my driver to come pick me up" she replied and I clenched my fists wondering why she did that.

"Why?" I asked, my voice came out rather calm but authoritative all at the same time.

"Does it matter?"

"Yes, it does!" I raised my voice.
What has gotten into her?

"Don't shout at me!" She yelled back.

"Sorry about that. But why would you even do that?" I asked, trying to put myself together and not yell at her once more.

"It's none of your business, Femi. I was tired and felt like going home, so I did. Period!" She replied.

"Kunmi, you didn't do the right thing. You could've__" and before I could even complete my sentence, she hung up on me. Something she hadn't done in the past years I've known her. She has definitely changed, this isn't the Kunmi I used to know. The Kunmi, whom I'd come to love as much as I'd love my own sister, would never hang up on me or act so overly dramatic and so obnoxious all of a sudden. She's the sweetest person I know, the calmest girl I've ever met, and now? She's slowly changing. It's true people change and that change is the only constant thing in life, but I never expected Kunmi to change. I loved her for who she was and for how often she was ready to put a smile on her face, I consider her my sister. And I hope nothing ever comes between this bond we have and change things. It'll hurt me, so much.

"What did she say?" Damola asked, his eyes still glued to the road.

"She said so many things, guy. I don't even know what to even believe anymore. For all I could truly gather, she said she went home on her own cause she wanted to...or something of the sort. I'm not sure, abeg" I replied, staring out the window and lost in my thoughts.

"Seriously?" He asked, disbelief evident.

"No oh, jokingly" I replied, sarcastically.

"Your head there!" He chuckled and so did I.

"But that unlike her. Is something wrong with her? Or did someone say something to her?" He asked, like I'd even know the answers to his questions.
