AFAM

Oba, I intentionally not mentioned it to you, at first I did it for protection but later when I got to know you better I decided to tell you. But I decided against it again because I don't want you to see me as one big man that is not approachable. I love the way we relate and I don't want anything to change that. I'm really sorry son" I said and patted his shoulder.
"Daddy Afam you have the right to be discreet about your personal life, I'm just surprised. That's all" he said with a blank expression.

The drive back to the hotel was quiet. He drove into the hotel and parked.
"It's late Oba, just pass the night here"
"It's just pass 10pm sir. I can still make it home"
"I insist. Remember I have a 8am flight to catch tomorrow and you are taking me"
He came out of the car and locked the door. I moved over to his side and held his hands.
"Oba! I told you everything about my past. You even helped me find Amara and my daughter. My company is the only thing I kept from you. Don't you feel that if you know me well enough you might not be free with me the way you used too?"
"It's ok sir, I understand perfectly well"
"So are we good?" I asked.
He spread his hands and gave me a hug. I hugged him and patted his back. I released him and looked into his eyes.
"Ever since I met you, I'd always wished you are my son and I place you in my heart as one. I love you that much Oba"
"Thank you sir and I've always look up to you like a father as well"
"Now enough of this emotional talk, let's go in" I said patting his back again as we walked into the hotel like the father and son that we are.

OBA
The next day, I took Dady Afam to Muritala Mohammed airport. He introduced me to his PA, who was already waiting at the terminal by the time we got there.
I received a message on my phone. It was a bank alert. Afam transferred #50k into my account.
"Sir, you don't have to this" I told him.
"Oba, you won't be working till I'm back from India. Please stay with my family. I beg of you"
"Still you don't have to pay me for that, I already promised you I won't leave their side"
"That's the right thing to do, you have a family to take care of, remember. So I can’t keep you from work for days without pay" he explained.
I was with him till they boarded the plane. I left the airport for the hospital. I bought some things they'll need at the hospital on my way including food.
I got to the ward. I greeted them, Crystal looked a lot better than the previous day. The doctors came in and observed her. He prescribed some drugs for her. I collected the prescription pad and went to the hospital pharmacy to get the drugs. I instructed her to eat the food I brought, so she could take her drugs once I'm back.

I came back and the doctors had left but I met a guy, I recognized him from yesterday, I guessed he was Crystal's boyfriend. I could sensed that from his reactions the previous day. He later left for work that morning.
I was there through out the day. Some people came from her company to check her. I was at the corridor till they left. In the evening all her friends including her secretary came to visit her.
Daddy Afam called that night when he arrived India. He spoke at length with his daughter. Then her mum, he also spoke with me too.
I left the hospital very late in the night. Mother and daughter expressed how grateful they are.
I got to my apartment later that night. I was about to UnCloth when I heard someone knocking at the door.
"Who is there? I asked. It was my Landlord's daughter. So I opened the door.
"Good evening" she said smiling.
"Good evening. How is school, when did you come back?"
"This afternoon, school is fine, thanks.
Ayo is a 300l student of FUNAB. She's nice to me and always stop by to say hi to me whenever she's around.
I opened the door wider for her to come inside.
"I'm sorry, it's late, but I just had to come say hi when I heard you drove into the compound cos I'm sure you would leave the country early tomorrow morning before I even get out of bed" she said.
"Don't mind me, that's the nature of my job. So are you on break or you just came home to pack Mummy's foodstuff"
She laughed. "No we are on break this time. We just finished our 2nd semester exam. I'll be spending two months at home"
"Good for you then, and I'm sure you would have grown fat before resumption. So enjoy your break to the fullest” I said jokingly.
"I will trust me. But Oba you never called me for once and you have my number. I even called severally but you never returned my calls" she queried.
"Ayo, I'm really sorry. I'm a very busy person. Although that's not an excuse. So please accept my apology"
"Apology accepted, now that I'm home, you'll be seeing more of me even though I know you will never check on me unless I come down to your room" She accused.
I know Ayo is hitting on me but I use to pretend I didn't get the message.
"Ayo.....you know It's not like that"
"It's not like what, I know you are just talking with me because I'm your Landlord's daughter. You don't like me" She scoffed.
"Why would you talk like that, of course I like you, I don't hate you"
I tried to answer calmly but deep down within me all I want is to be alone. I had a long day already and I'm so tired. But I had to keep my cool. It's not easy having someone admitted in the hospital. Since the patient relatives has to do all the running around.
"Ok, if you like me as you claim, then give me a spare key to your apartment"
"My key! Why?" I sounded a bit pissed this time.
"I can relax here during the day before you come back from work"
I don’t know what happened to her father's house that she can't relax there. Cos right now I'm wondering when my room turned into a relaxation center. I thought within me. I watched her closely as she continued.
"I can also prepare you dinner"
"Really!" I scoffed. "Ayo! Listen, I'm a very straight forward person. Can I come out straight with you?"
"Yes, you can" she replied.
"I know what you want from me but the thing is that I like you as a friend and not as a woman. I'd love to be just your friend if you don't mind" I paused to allow my word sink and look out for her expression. I continued.
"Ayo, you are very beautiful and I know you are not hearing this for the first time. I'm sure you have guys crawling over you in school. You don't have to give your love to someone who wouldn't reciprocate it. There's nothing hurtful than loving someone who doesn't love you back" I said slowly and calmly.
" Obafemi!"
Geez, she even knew my name in full. I said to myself.
"Why can't you love me back, you said it yourself that I'm beautiful. So what else do you want or is it because I'm your Landlord's daughter?"
"No, far from it"
"You know they can't object, they like you and regard you"
"Ayo, please don't do this to yourself, let go of whatever feelings you have for me. Hun!
"I won't, I know you'll learn to love me one day. Good night" she said and left.

I just stood there as I watched the door closed after her. For God sake what I'm I suppose to do. I don't feel anything for her. I don't know why she's interested in someone like me, a cab driver from a poor family while she's an undergraduate from a comfortable home.
I went into the kitchen and picked two sliced bread from the fridge and a bottle of coke. I ate and slept.

I continued my daily routine to the hospital till Crystal was discharged some days later.
I took her home the day she was discharged together with her mum.

CRYSTAL
I was given two weeks sick leave at the office after I was discharged from the hospital. After spending a whole week in the house, I became bored. My Dad was back from his trip and he comes to the house everyday but I'm just tired of staying at home. Mum goes to work and come back in the evening. Some of my friends too come visiting especially Zite and Soma. I remember the last time they all came they all insisted on signing on the pop cast but I refused. I wished they could come every day but they all have businesses to run.

I sincerely miss office, so I decided to resume work the following week. It's just my left hand that is on cast my whole body is fine.
I told my parents and they refused. They insisted on me spending the two weeks sick leave at home. Before I thought my mum was protective, my dad is overprotective.
Luckily for me, I was able to convince them but my father gave me one condition that we have to confirm first from my orthopedic doctor if I'm fit to start work.

Oba drove us to the hospital and the doctor have me checked. After examining me, he said I can start work but I must not stress the hand and I must make sure I rest well every time I'm back from work. He also prescribed another drug in additions to the one administered before. I protested because I know that drug will not make me to be active at work.
"Oh this is the disadvantage of having a medical personnel as your patient" The doctor said jokingly.
He prescribed another that will make me more active. He said the drug should be taken at night ad it will help me relax well. With that we left the hospital.

My dad assigned Oba to take me to work in my car and bring me back home back everyday till the cast is removed and I could drive on my own.
"Dad, I can go with the staff bus"
"God! Why do you just love making yourself uncomfortable? He is taking you and that is final" He said with a note of warning.
"Yes sir" was all I could say. My father can be strict sometimes.

____________________Toyin Taiwo
My mum didn't say a word she was just watching our drama.
"Daddy, what about you, you need Oba too" I said feeling concerned.
"Don't worry about me, you need him more" he said and I held my peace.

On Monday morning, by 6:30am, Oba was at my place to pick me up for work. One thing I like about him is his dress sense sometimes I wonder if it's actually a cab man or he’s just using his work as a cover up but dad trusted him so no problem.

He drop me off and left. My colleagues we're so happy to see me. I didn't tell them I was resuming that Monday, so they we're all surprised. They even thought I came to the office to pick up something before I told I'm tired of staying indoors. My secretary too couldn't hide her joy.
"Don't call Soma!" I warned her sternly.
"I won't ma" she said.
I didn't tell my friends that I'm starting work today. I'll tell them days later. I don't want anyone to skin me alive.
