...continuation


++++++++++++++++++++++++

Ini was the first to wake up that morning, she already begun the cooking before Amarachi came into the kitchen.

"Awwww" Amarachi yawned, rubbing sleep off her eyes as she stood at the kitchen's entrance.

"Good morning dearie, how was your night?"

"Fine thanks, Good morning. How was yours too?"

"Good"

Everything had returned to normal the last night, after Kelvin left the house. Ini walked into Ama's room and hugged her tightly with tears in her eyes for about a minute and left the room without saying anything. Ama wondered what happened, what made her friend suddenly become calm towards her again. She knew it was more than the meatpie treat, she believed Kelvin must have said something to her.

"I see you're almost done, why don't you go and have your bath, I'll continue."

"No, don't bother. I'll just finish it myself" Ini smiled as she replied

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Just pay five hundred thousand, you'll have everything here. The rent will be due by next month and you'll continue paying it yourself"

"No that's too much for an ordinary salon, even if I should rent another place and buy my own equipments, it wouldn't be that much"

"Haba! Mr. Collins, how can you call this an ordinary barbing salon, its not" Frank countered.
"You know how much I spent setting up this place? It's over a million naira"

"Oga, don't talk like that. You know over the years, the cost of this equipments have reduced, so you have consider that"

"No, this is an insult. I just started this place last year, the last quarter, please if you are not ready to buy, just go ." Frank complained, "how can you pay me five hundred thousand naira for this place?"

"Okay na, I can't pay more than that, I've given you my number, when you are ready, just call me" the man said and began to walk out.

"Don't worry, I won't even call you"

Frank wondered how a person with conscience could want to pay five hundred thousand for something he knew costs more than a million naira. He had not even used the salon up to six months yet.

The man's negotiation was even better, someone else had offered to pay a hundred thousand naira the day before.

"Hello Uche, O boy. I never see better buyer o" Frank answered a call on his phone.

"Okay, I dey come meet you for there now" the voice replied

Uche was a friend of his and also an owner of a salon like his. In twenty minutes, Uche got to his salon.

"How far na?"

"I dey o Uche, how business?"

"Fine my brother", Uche replied. "So, why do you want to sell off your business? You've come a long way struggling for the business to stand, now that you are making good profit, you want to sell off your salons. What's the problem?"

"No, it's not that I want to sell it off. I just have to sell it off, I don't have an option"

"Why don't you borrow money for whatever you want to do first? This business is paying you o and your customers are even big men and celebrities"

"No, its not really the money I need. I'm moving from this city permanently"

"Haba! Why na? Where you wan go? Na for here tins dey happen o" Uche askedin pidgin English

"It's not something you can understand. Just help me find a good buyer if you can"

"Okay, what if I pay 3.5 million naira for the three salons?"

"Ermm... No, let's make it five million naira, you of all people know my other salons are bigger than this one here"

"Okay then, as a friend I'll pay you 4.5 million naira"

"Okay, good." Frank's face brightened up, "when do I get the payment? It has to be between now and next week"

"Don't worry, just get the necessary documents ready, I'll get back to you on Friday likely with 3 million first and will pay the rest in installment. Is that okay?"

"Yea, it is"

+++++++++++++++++++++++

"Hi, how's the office today?" Dennis read a ping from Ama.

"Good dear, but would have been better if you were here"

"Hehehe, I can't wait to be at the office sef, I'm so bored right now"

"Eeyah, should I come keep you company?"

"Lol, what lie would you tell today?"

"Would say I'm going to take an injection"

"Lol, c'mon. Is that how you lie? Lol"

"Anything just to make you happy"

"No, don't lie to make me happy."

"Okay, I'll come pick you after work, let's go chill out somewhere"

"Okay, that's better smiley . I would be expecting you"

"Good, I love you so much"

"Hmmm... Thanks"

"Thanks, or you love me too?"

"Huh ho, I thought I told you to give me sometime"

"Sometime? Why? I don't really understand your reasons"

"I don't want to rush into a relationship without being sure of my feelings"

"But the truth is I love you Ama. Don't you believe me?"

"I do, but it's not up to a month we met. So I have to be careful not to make a mistake and I also don't want anything to distract me"

"Okay, we'll talk later when we see. Got to get back to work now"

"Aiit, bye"

Dennis walked back to his office from the cafeteria where he went to take a soft drink. When he got back into his office, he met a letter addressed to him on his table. He settled into his chair and read through the letter, he was one of the employees who had been nominated for a special training program in the UK.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Kelvin was the last to get out of the car when they drove into Videx company for the final negotiations with their company.

"Sorry guys, I had to answer that call" he apologized to his colleagues. "Let's go straight in, they must have been expecting us"

Kelvin, Sandra and Peter walked into the room where they had the last meeting with the Videx's representatives.

As the meeting begun, Sandra couldn't keep her eyes off Ini. It looked as if she had seen her somewhere else apart from when they came for the first meeting.

The meeting came to a conclusion after the both parties had agreed on the mode of their partnership and the interest sharing rate.

The meeting ended and each of the representatives paired to briefly greet each other.

"I'm Sandra Benjamin", Sandra introduced herself as she shook hands with Ini while they walked outside to the compound with the rest of the board.

"Ini Williams"

"Wow!", the name rang a bell but she couldn't remember where she heard it from again, "Nice to meet you"

"Yeah, its my pleasure." Ini replied smiling.

"You know what? I like the way you talk, would like to be friends with you. Would you give me your phone number?"

"Oh sure" Ini called out the digits to her.

"Thanks" She smiled and walked into the car to wait for her colleagues who were still sharing pleasantries with their partners.

In few seconds, Peter joined her and sat at the front seat with the driver leaving Kelvin to be the only one still talking to their partners.

Sandra watched as Kelvin held Ini's hands, he saw the way they looked into each other's eyes. It was clear that what they had wasn't just a business relationship. She looked intently at Ini's face again, then she recalled that Ini was the Lady she saw in the picture with Kelvin on Bola's phone, the girl who Bola called Kevin's girlfriend.

She smiled at herself, she praised herself for taking Ini's number, she might really need it soon.

She pondered within herself if she could allow anybody else have Kelvin, not after she had done so much especially to help him get unmerited promotion even without his knowledge.

She remembered the day Kelvin walked into the company for a job interview, she was a receptionist then. He assisted her fix a computer problem while he was waiting for his interview after she called the computer operators in the company and they refused to answer her call immediately.

They became friends after he was employed and he would always greet her and sometimes have a little chat with her when he was resuming or closing from the office. She remembered him complaining bitterly ine day that his salary was too small and it was enough for his needs.

That day, she boasted to him that she could help him get an increase with her influence in the office. He didn't believe her until few days later when both of them were promoted to higher posts with better salaries.

He asked her how she did it and she told him that she was a member of manager's church and she pleaded with him to help the both of them. He had believed her not knowing what she actually did was to sleep with the man who had been disturbing her for a long time to get the promotion

Their friendship strengthened and she longed for the day he would ask her out or profess his love for her, but it never happened. After sometime, the manager resigned and a new one resumed and made a lot of changes which included transferring her to another department whose office far from Kelvin's department. That resulted in them not seeing each other frequently for almost a year until she was brought back to the public relations department.

When she was returned, Kelvin had changed, he didn't talk to her often like before and sometimes even behaved as if she didn't exist. She struggled to get close to him again but he was more reserved and seemed to focus more on nothing but his job. She used everything she could think of to attract him including exposing her body and trying to seduce him but it didn't work.

"Hello" She made a call to Bola. "What did you call your friends name again? ... Yep, the one you showed me on Facebook ... Okay, thanks... No , don't worry, I'll come see you later"


++++++++++++++++++++++

"Hi babe, what's up?" Bola sent Ini a whatsapp message

"Hi Bola" she replied

"How are you?"

"Fine"

"Okay, what of your boyfriend?"

"Why are you asking about him?"

"Nothing, just asking"

"Don't ask about him again, thanks"

"Haba! What's the matter?"

"You are the matter. Bola, what's the reason you cooked up lies to destroy my relationship with Kelvin and my friendship with Ama?"

"Lies? How did I lie?"

"C'mon, stop asking stupid questions. What did Ama do to you? Why did you decide to tell lies against her?"

"I didn't tell any lie. Everything I said was true, I saw it with my eyes"

"And you are still lying?"

"No, I'm not. See, Ama is a LovePeddler and she does not deserve to be your friend, she is desperate and all she's doing is to separate both of us"

"Don't call her a LovePeddler again, never"

"Sorry, but remember both of us never fought till you brought this Ama girl"

"Listen Bola, I'm ashamed to be your friend. I never knew you could be so mean, what has come over you?"

"Hey! It's okay, don't talk to me anyhow because of a cheap slut"

"I think I should start avoiding you, you're really dangerous"

"Do whatever you want dunce, but I'm sure you will realize who is dangerous very soon"

"Okay, thanks. Bye"

"Bye bitch and don't come to me when the trouble begins" Bola replied and closed the chat in anger.

She got up and paced the room, Ini was a fool to choose to believe Ama over her, no one has ever been bold enough to call her a liar. If Ama wants to play wise and thought she has succeeded in making Ini turn against her, then she was joking because she was going to do everything to make sure Ama had no rest until she leaves Ini's life and the city totally.

"Hello" Ini received a call

"Hi Ini, how are you?"

"I'm fine. Please who am I speaking with?"

"It's Sandra, the Lady from Devi international that took your phone number today?"

"Oh! Sandra, how are you doing?"

"Fine, I just wanted to say hi and wish you a goodnight rest"

"Okay, thanks. I wish you the same"

"Alright, goodnight" the call ended.

"Who's that?" Amarachi who just walked in and dropped her bag on the table asked as she settled into a chair.

"A new friend of mine, her name is Sandra"

"Oh! Okay. So how was your day?"

"It was good o, not too stressful" Ini replied, " so where did Boss take you to this night?"

"We went to Erinsic"

"Okay, I don't need to ask you anything. I can already see that you had a great time"

"Yeah, sure" Ama smiled, "its just that Dennis said he'll be travelling for two weeks"

"To where? Is he taking a leave from work?"

"No, it's an official trip, a training program actually"

"Okay, I thought as much. Videx is used to sending people for training all the time, they're good at that" Ini chuckled.

"Hmmn, I'll be missing him o"

"Eeyah, he's going just for two weeks na", Ini paused and stared at her friend's face. "I wonder why you've not said yes to him already"

"I need to be sure Ini, I don't want to jump into anything"

"But you love him already"

"I'm not sure of that?"

"Huh ho" Ini smiled and moved close to her. "I can see it in your eyes already, don't be scared, just give it a trial"


+++++++++++++++++++++

I tried everything to convince Frank that you could not back stab him, he wouldn't just agree. He says he has been suspecting you before" Bode chattes with Kelvin as they sat down together on the rug.

"That dude needs serious help, I don't know if he doesn't have his brain with him anymore. He knows how desperate Bola is, how could he believe such a lie from her?"

"It's Okay, don't make it worse than it is already" Frank cut in, "but how are you sure it us Bola that told him?"

"No one else could have done that. That's the same lie she told Ini"

"She told Ini the same thing?", Bode paused and thought deeply for a while, biting his lips.

"Yes, she did"

Bode looked at Kelvin with suspicion in his eyes, "but you never told us anything about it, when did we start hiding things from each other?"

"You see, I thought it wasn't necessary especially because I didn't want something like this. Frank might have taken it in a bad way"

"You would have still told us, that would have been better than the information coming from an external source. He would find it difficult to believe you now since you hid it from us at first"

"Didn't know it would turn out this way " Kelvin sighed.

"Let's go meet him in his room and sort this out" Bode stood up,
"he's been indoor since, I know the reason he doesn't want to come into the living room is because of you"

"I know that too, I'm sure he wont even be patient enough when he sees me in his room?"

"Let's try first", Bode said and proceeded to Frank's room with Kelvin following him closely.

"You know what?" He turned back and signalled for Kelvin to halt. "You wait outside his room while I go in first"


Bode walked into the room without knocking and met Frank who raised his head as he saw him walk into the room.

"How far Bode?" He greeted in Pidgin

"I'm fine o, what's that you are doing?" Bode asked observing the different papers on Frank's desk and a biro in his hand.
"I thought you don't calculate office income at home"

"I'm not calculating office income" Frank smiled at him, "I've gotten a buyer for my three salons and I'm just trying to draft out some documents"

"Nooooo" A voice was heard from outside the door.

"Who is that?" Frank asked with disgust all over his face seeing Kelvin's shadow at the entrance. He made his way to the entrance.

It's me Frank" Kelvin replied and opened the curtain to walk in,

"There should be other ways to solve this, not selling your salons, we know how hard you worked to make those salons stand" Kelvin continued with concern in his voice

"Tell Kelvin to leave here, I don't want to see him" Frank said to Bode who was obstructing him from moving close to Kelvin.

"Calm down Frank" Bode replied

"No, tell Kelvin to get away from here first. He should stay away from anything that concerns me"

"Don't sell of your business, don't run away. You're a man, you should be able to think of something else" Kelvin said and walked away from the room.

"Get lost Bastard" Frank yelled

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Is that her?" Sandra looked at Bola as she dropped her phone.

"Yes, that's her voice. I guess the number she gave you isn't the one I have"

"Okay" Sandra replied and rested her head on the wall.

"So what do you want to do with the number now that you have it"

"Oh! Nothing", she faked a smile. "I'm just eager to know the girl who's got the heart of the man I love"

"So you won't do anything?"

"What should I do" she continued spreading her arms in a questioning manner. "Should I go and start fighting her?"

"Hmmm, No . But I know you Sandra, you wouldn't just leave your man like that without a fight" Bola smiled slightly, "or you don't want to tell me your plans because you think I'm her friend?"

"No o, I don't have any of plans"

"Hahaha, you?" Bola laughed.
"Don't worry, that girl's been messing up of late. I'm looking for a way to deal with her before. "

"Ehen" Sandra looked more interested now, "so what were you thinking of before?"

"You know, I already laid a foundation of Kelvin cheating on her with a friend of hers"

"Who is this her friend?"

"Ama, she stays with Ini and also works in Videx but in the accounts department"

"Oh! I also have a friend in their accounts department"

"Good. You know this her friend is the one who's contending with me, she's trying to snatch my boyfriend. So I think we can do something with that, we can separate them. Then I'll have Frank to myself and you Kelvin"

"Hmmm, sounds nice. So what's the plan now?"

"Ermm, I don't know yet. But I will come up with something very soon"


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The days rolled out quickly and it was Saturday already, Ini and Ama journeyed to Ama's hometown to visit her family and to check her just recovering father. They left the city as early as possible to avoid the Saturday's traffic congestion.

"Heyyy! Aunty Toyin" Sophia who was watching their car as it parked outside the house shouted for joy as Amarachi came out of the car.

"Mummy, Daddy, aunty Toyin has come o" Sophia ran to the window and beckoned on the rest of the family members.

"Welcome Aunty" She hugged her sister.

"How are you Sophie"

"Fine" she replied,

"Ooh! You came with Aunty Ini" Sophia asked surprised as Ini walked out from the driver's seat. She ran to the other side to greet Ini too.

"How are you?"

"Fine ma"

"What of Mummy and Daddy?"

"They are inside, let's go in"

"Lets take what we have in the boot first"

They took the gifts they brought and walked into the living room of the Old building. They were welcomed warmly by Ama's mum and her Dad who were very glad to see them.

"Mummy Toyin, please get some food for them na" Mr Kolawole said to his wife and turned to Ini who sat on a stood beside him and held his hands.
"Thank you Ini for taking care of my daughter, she's looking fresher now. Thank you"

"Haba! Daddy, Toyin is my sister, whatever I do for her, I do for myself" Ini replied and looked at Ama who was sitting at the front and smiling at her.

"Thank you my daughter" the man continued as he sat up. "Toyin also said you gave her the money for the hospital bill, may God bless you richly and give you long life"

"Amen Daddy" Ini replied full of smiles, she looked around the house for some seconds and turned back to Mr. Kolawole.
"What happened to your business sir? How come you people now live here?"

"It's a long story my dear" the man started, "Amarachi, come closer. Let me tell you what really happened, I've not been opportuned to tell you this before"

He paused and coughed, he sat up and began. "Listen my children, my business did not go down naturally. It was brought down by someone who I met through a very close friend, Olatunbosun. Chief Olatunbosun ,he is now known as a powerful politician, I'm sure you know him too" The man paused and looked at them for confirmation.

"We met each other after I finished my service as a youth corper and started my business. We were not really friends because our lifestyles were totally different. He was a son of a rich man so he spent extravagantly and I couldn't act like him. So we knew each other but stayed apart since we had no business together.
After sometime when I met your mother, he began to show hatred towards me. I found out that he wanted to marry your mother who wasn't interested in him but seemed to get along with me even though I wasn't dating her then, I wasn't even in love with her yet.

After we started dating, he got mad at us. He fought our relationship but couldn't stop it as we got married even with all his threats. He had to leave us in peace when he saw there was nothing he could do anymore.

But we met again seventeen years later, he had become a prominent politician then and was even like Godfather to the President of our nation then. When he found out about my company, he decided to punish me. Through the influence of the President, my licence to run the company was withdrawn and the goods I distributed were labelled as illegal products. I was also made to pay heavy fines to escape jail. Thank God he didn't kill me because he ended up killing my friend who opposed his actions"

The man wiped his face as tears was already dropping off .

"That's how I became who I am today, he sent me packing from the city"

CHAPTER TWENTY


Femi Fadeyi patiently waited for Chief Olatunbosun in the Living room watching a Tv show and sipping wine. After about twenty minutes, Chief Olatunbosun finally showed up.

"Governor Femi Fadeyi" he hailed, smiling cheerfully as he walked into the living room.
" How are you?" He asked, extending his hand to Femi for a handshake.

"I'm fine sir, thank you" Femi replied happily, standing up to receive the handshake and greet the man properly.

"You can have your seat" Chief Olatunbosun said as he settled into a sofa facing femi directly. "So, how is Logi and your people?"

"Logi is fine sir, the people send their greetings"

"Oh! Say me well to them"

"Sure sir"

"Okay, so let's go straight to business. So tell me Femi. What is your plan for the country? How do you intend to move it forward? I already heard about a lot of things you did in your state already, so I'm expecting so much from you"

"Yes sir, thank you so much for this opportunity" Femi started speaking extensively on his plans for the country.

++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Bola, I'm not ready to get married, don't you get it?"

"See stop all this rubbish, it's either we pick a date for the wedding today or you call my Dad and tell him that you are not ready yet"

"Okay, just give me some more time . I'll get back to you"

"No, no more time to waste" Bola slammed, "let's pick a date now or I'll be forced to tell my Dad that you don't want to get married to me after impregnating me"

"No Bola, don't do that. I will get back to you as soon as possible"

"Oh! Never mind, you don't need to get back to me, you'll explain to my Dad when you are ready" she said and picked her bag.

Frank grabbed her by the arm, "Okay, when are you coming to see my parents?" He pleaded, "please we have to see them first"

Bola paused for a while and spoke, "when are you taking me there? I'm ready even if you want to go now"

"I have to call them first"

"Then call them now"

"But ermm...", Frank scratched his head. "I don't have credit on my phone"

"Take, there's enough credit on my phone" she said handing him a phone from her bag.

"Okay" he took it reluctantly and dialed a number. After a short conversation with the caller in his dialect, he dropped the call. "My mum says we should come on Wednesday"

"Are you sure?" She looked at him suspiciously

"Yes" he replied, "we'll pick the date that same day too"

"Okay, just remember that it must be this March" She said and walked out of his office immediately.

Frank cursed under his breath as he walked back slowly to his seat.

Things were not working rightly as he planned, he was already processing his international passport and his Visa but the money he was expecting for the sale of the salon had not come and he needed enough money to take with him.

He sat down frustrated and began to remember how he got into the mess. He remembered how they met Amarachi, how he met Bola andhow he fell into her trap. He began to think if it was really worth it to leave the city, if he was trying to escape from getting married to Bola because he didn't love her, how was he sure he would find love where he was running to? And was he going to ever love someone else like he loved Amarachi?

He picked up his phone and after some seconds of scrolling through indecisively. He dialled Amarachi's phone number.

"Hello Amarachi, its Frank... Yeah... How is your health now?... Please would you give me a chance? I need to see you... Please, I just need to clear some issues with you... Oh! Please, don't refuse me, just give me this chance... Please..." The call was ended at the other side.

He redialled the number, "Please Amarachi, just a chance... It's really important... Okay, I'll meet you there by four thirty... Thanks"

He heaved a sigh of relief as he ended the call. He couldn't just run away like that, he decided to try again if he could find favour with Amarachi.

++++++++++++++++++++++

Amarachi sat quitely in her office busy with the computer set on her table. Her Boss had gone that morning on the official training trip. She was left with a lot of work to do which were not necessarily her duty.

Before Dennis left, he came into her office to say goodbye planting a kiss on her forehead before he left. He had just gone few hours and she was feeling like he had gone for years.

A knock sounded on her door interrupting her work. "Yes, come in please"

Dennis' secretary walked into her office full of smiles as she curtsied, "Good morning ma"

"Good morning" Amarachi replied, surprised at seeing the Secretary smile at her for the first time.

"Are you busy?" She asked gently

"No, what can I do for you?" Amarachi answered, eager to know her mission.

"I brought this for you, you need to check it and add to it from your research before I print out the final copy"

"Okay" Amarachi collected the document and scanned through it.
"Alright, thanks, you may leave " she said, dismissing the secretary who didn't move away .

"You can go" Amarachi repeated looking up at the secretary who was standing like a small kid being corrected for doing something wrong.

"Sorry ma, I just wanted to apologize to you for the other day I insulted you. I'm sorry, I was being misled by envy. Please forgive me ma" the Secretary finally said.

"Ermmm..." Amarachi was unsure of what to say. "It's okay,I hold nothing against you"

"Thank you ma" she curtsied once again and turned to leave.

"Wait" Amarachi stopped her. "Please, stop the ma. It's making me uncomfortable, just call me Amarachi"

"Okay Amarachi" She said smiling sheepishly

"I don't know your name"

"My name is Cynthia"

"Alright Cynthia"


Amarachi watched her as she left the office still wondering what could make the secretary who had insulted her a week ago become so meek and gentle to her.


++++++++++++++++++++++

"Hi " Ini got a WhatsApp message from an unknown number. She clicked on the profile to check the display picture and recognised the person at once. It was Sandra Benjamin, she didn't remember to save the number when Sandra had called her.

"Hi Sandra"

"How are you? Are you on break now cos I'm on break here"

"I'm Fine, you? I'm on break too"

"Okay smiley "

"Yeah, how has work been today?"

"Great, thanks Ini. You know what?"

"What?"

"I like your personality, that's why I want to be your friend. I barely keep friends but I saw the way you talked and composed yourself, I concluded you must be someone great to be friends with"

"Wow, thanks. Nice words"

"You're welcome, I'm just being truthful though"

"Thanks all the same. It's nice to meet you too, it takes a great personality to know another"

"Hmmm"

"Yeah, so how are you coping with work there?"

"I'm managing, just managing. I really don't like working under a man"

"Why? That's strange. Most times, Men are the Bosses in the offices"

"Yeah, I know. It's just that most of them reminds me of my ex boyfriend"

"Was your ex boyfriend that bad"

"Yes, he was a notorious cheat and a violent person"

"Eeyah! That's bad, I'm wondering how badly he would have treated you"

"Oh! I just thank God most of the scars I got on my body from the relationship are cleared now"

"Awww! That's really bad. How did you get into such a relationship?"

"Just lets forget about it. What brought it fresh to my mind was seeing my Boss' girl friend come visit him in the office last week"

"Oh! Which of your Bosses?"

"Same one you know, Mr. Kelvin"

"Mr. Kelvin? Are you sure she's his girlfriend?"

"I believe she is, he hardly entertains unofficial visits so I strongly believe she is. I just pray he's not abusive and does not spoil her pretty face "

"Are you sure of what you are telling me?" Ini replied, her hands shaking as she typed.

"Lol, why are you acting so concerned? I'm sure about what I'm saying, the Lady's name is even Amarachi, she's fair, has dimples, well she's really pretty",Sandra perfectly decribed Amarachi facial features.
"Please let's talk about something else jor. Lets talk about you and your work"


"Wait, is this the Lady you're talking about?" Ini attached a picture of Amarachi to the message.

"Yeah, wow! So you even know her"

Ini's phone dropped from her hand as she read the message, her eyes filled up with tears. Amarachi and Kelvin had deceived her, Amarachi must have been visiting Kelvin during her stay at home. Bola was saying the truth after all.
