Jumoke

"One day our dreams will come true, we will both be the people we have always wanted to be - happy and of course, blessed. Then, I will have my heart's one desire which is, coming back every day to see my bae on the couch with those hot legs crossed.

I will kiss you and then we would talk about our day and what to do about our children's performances in school.
Till then, sleep well my love."

Jumoke has always been in love with one guy, Kunle. Their love so strong they have spent the past few months of their lives building a life together while waiting for that big break, so that they can finally legalise their union and start a family together.

When one gloomy evening her mother brings up the topic of getting married to Emeka, a stranger she has gotten accustomed to his unusual visits to her mother, she's torn between two things - her love for Kunle or a better life for her family.

"A woman's mind is flexible, you will grow to love him."

And so she picks Emeka, finally freeing her family from the shackles of poverty.

Seven miserable years, two kids and another baby on its way later, she stumbles on Kunle, the guy she dumped for Emeka, now richer than ever.

Stunned into silence, she expects that he wants nothing to do with her but instead, he offers her an olive branch - a hand of friendship.

They start to hang out again and slowly the sparks which she thought long dead rouses within her, giving her life a new meaning.

Stolen glances, phone calls, text messages, missing ring on Kunle's finger and she's certain the feelings are mutual, as they were seven years ago.

She's in for a big surprise. Will they get a second chance at love?
