In Ikorodu,Lagos state, Nigeria.

"So is this want I sent you to do in America, you this girl, oniranu( immoral girl)" Cynthia's mom shouted. She continued "Now who's the father, uh, tell me, mo ni ko so funmi, tani baba omo yi( i said you should tell me the father of this unborn child is?"

Cynthia crying answered, "Mom, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for all this to happen, he is just a man, a White man." She couldn't meet her mother's eyes, Cynthia is a special person, she is a very beautiful 5'7 lady with a fair skin and light brown eyes. Just like a model which is the reason Mike Skyler couldn't resist her.
Mummy Cynthia shocked, just stared at her daughter and whispered "Oyinbo, a White man of all people, ah iwo omo yin ti pa mi, oyinbo, talo fe ba mi gbo?(you this child have killed me, white man, who will hear this with me like this).  Wailing, not knowing what to do, mummy Cynthia sat down.
"OK, what do we do now? Oh have you told him and he has accepted the child oh what? Because you are pregnant for a White man. You know you are the only family I have left, I will always be here for you." "He knows and his family doesn't want anything to do with me or this child,they called me a whore, ashawo."( prostitute) replied Cynthia still on her knees.

"Won pe e ni kini?( they called you what?), oh my God, see what you caused; if you had focus on what I sent you to do none of this would have happened. OK none of this matters, we'll both be fine" her mother said while shaking her head.

Cynthia thanked her mother. She started working in her mother's shop, assisting her. She still thought of Mike, of the times they spent together, the first night he made love to her; it was the most beautiful night of her life.

Recollecting:
"You are so beautiful Cynthia, so perfect, I have never been able to stop thinking of you" Mike whispered into Cynthia's ear while they were dancing in his penthouse in Washington D.C. She said shyly looking into his eyes,"thank you Mike, you are also beautiful, perfect, please kiss me". They stared into each other's eyes and not knowing who moved first, lips crashed passionately, they continually kissed until they were both laying down on the bed.   He stopped kissing her and stared deep in her eyes and said  "I love you so much, with all my heart OK believe me."
She adored him, using her hands she traced his eyes,nose, lips to his chest taking off his shirt, he was so handsome, his Greg eyes, a little crooked nose and pink lips, so sweet. Before long there were naked and he made her his woman that night."

"......nthyia, Cynthia, what's wrong?" her friend Funmi called. Surprised she looked up, "sorry Funmi, I didn't see you there" she said while still trying to get her bearing, her friend said how would she even she was deep in thoughts.
Asking her what's wrong, Cynthia said that she was fine.

9 months later

"Doctor, nurse,please help my daughter, her water has broken" mummy Cynthia shouted, Cynthia was taking to the Theater,in labor, thinking and wishing Mike was here with her now.

"Push, ma'am push I can see the head" said calmly by the doctor.
"Do you think it's easy ni doctor, uh, I have pushed and pushed, I'm tired,OK, o ti su mi oo!"( I'm tired of this) Cynthia yelled back at the doctor. Her mom told her to shut up and do what the doctor said " gbe nu e soun, olé, ni gban tonse sha wanbe eeen,( shut up that mouth, lazy girl, when you were doing it, were we there?) so you better behave". Not long the cry sound of a baby boy was heard, Cynthia did it, her baby was placed in her hands and she fell in love with him. She decided to name him after her late father and Mike's father, Kolawole Isaac Akinjo. He was so beautiful like his dad, no he didn't have his Father's eyes but he has his nose and definitely looks like him.
His grandmother fell in love also with him crying and thanking God for safe delivery .......🎶 thank you Jesu's the owner of my soul.....🎶

8 years later in Nigeria

Growing up in Elepe where cultist fight weekly, roads always busy and quite a lot of drama happening daily, Kola was a very popular, decent, cute and loved by all in the society.
On the day of his 8th birthday, he and his grandma went to the Elepe market to get some foodstuff for his friends to eat, after buying all that is needed, he begged his grandma to buy him a toy, she said OK and they went in search, he saw toy he wanted and was about to pick it when he felt someone else pick it, it was a girl and she was standing in his way.
"I saw it first so it's mine" Kola said to the little girl who didn't seem to care and said "agbaya ni eee,(Big boy oo) it's mine, I want it" she started to cry, Kola looked back and saw his grandma frowning at him, so he said "I swear I didn't touch I don't know why she's crying", the grandma ignored him and kept down to the girl's level and asked her what her name was, "Debrwa" she answered, cleaning her face and looking at the old woman, "I want this toy, please ma" she said immediately. "No it's mine grandma I saw it first" Kola countered, " don't you see she's a child, she'll have it, madam" Kola's grandma said to him, Kola wasn't happy while the Debra was excited and was about to leave when she heard, "but it's my birthday today, I wanted that toy,why did you have to give it to her though!?" He asked almost in tears, his grandma explained that "she was a little girl, you are older I'll get you another one" Kola looked down cause he was quite tall for his age when he felt his trousser being pulled, he and his grandma saw Debra who asked"It's yourr bifday?". He nodded to her, Debra looked down at her toy and then stretched it to him saying " Happy bifday to ywou, I'll givf ywou my gif" smiling. He was shocked that she'd do that that he wasn't sad anymore, he didn't understand what she was doing so he asked "Why?". She told him that birthday were special days that no one should be sad on his or her birthday. Kola's grandma was astonished at the behavior of the little girl.
Kola looked up at his grandma who nodded and said his thanks to this little girl.
And that my friend was the beginning of a sweet and beautiful friendship and relationship.
