A/N: So a lot of people were confused yesterday so let me just explain. Naomi lied to Aaron. She didn't tell him that she was staying with Alex because Alex threatened to hurt her family if she did that. Although she doesn't know how true that statement is, she isn't willing to risk it.

For those who were wondering what's up with Aaron and why he didn't ask about Alex. He doesn't probe to deep because that was their first meeting. You know, it might be hard for her to talk about it. 

I hope everything is clear now.

Aaron's P.O.V

I'm sitting in Aunty Lola's parlour waiting for her to come downstairs. Aunty Lola is Bimbo's mum.

She has been taking care of me like her son since my mother passed away when I was just a little boy and I love her very much but these past two years she's been on my neck.

I think you can guess what it's about. It's marriage.

My twin brother is married and has a child.

Bimbo is married with two children.

Bimbo's older brother has married since.

Now they are all claiming it's my turn. That's why I dislike coming to see her nowadays because any conversation we have must turn into counselling.

I see her coming down the stairs and I immediately brace myself for whatever this is about.

Conversations with her always tire me because she makes sure we talk in Yoruba and I'm not too fluent with the language.

"ti o dara owurọ iya I say as she sits down

(Good morning mummy)

"E kaaro ọmọ mi bawo ni o ṣe wa" she says with a smile.

(Good morning my child, how are you?)

"mo wa daadaa" I say.

(I am fine)

She just nods.

"nibo ni arabinrin rẹ wa?" she asks looking around.

(where is your sister)

She's talking about Bimbo, I don't even know where she is. I think she's outside.

"Abimbola wa ni ita pẹlu awọn ọmọ rẹ" I say hopin my uncertainty isn't evident in my voice.
