LOVE AND VIRGINITY

PART 13

.

I will send you N200,000 for you and

Junior.”

She then said. “His name is adeoluwa .”

I took a pause and looked at him, he was

already asleep. I didn’t know whether to touch

him , carry him or something. I was just too

unprepared for these before me.

She then said. “I cannot stay here in Kogi.”

I then said. “Then where do you want to stay?

You can’t come with me to Lagos”

She said. “adeoluwa , I have nobody, nobody. I

have been rejected by my family, friends and

relatives. The only person I have is you and

my baby. I can’t stay far away from you…

Please.”

I said. “Tope, a lot has happened these few

years. I have moved on and you being close

could affect everything my mother has

established for me, everything I have worked

hard for recently. It can destroy me Tope.”

She then said. Adeoluwa , I understand but I

need someone to run to, someone to depend

on. I will never interfere in your life again. I

just need a new place to start all over, I don’t

want my baby to go through what I went

through. I need to further my education, you

helped me once and I know you can help me

again. I can’t provide for and protect our child

Adeoluwa……

I started to reflect on everything she said. I

looked at the child, my child and I felt so

sorry. I knew I can’t deny them solace, cant

deny them what they want. That’s my blood

she’s talking about. I was hasty in conclusion.

I looked at my watch and it was almost 1 pm.

I then said. “Tope, if we have to go to Lagos

we have to go now. Go pack your things, I will

be waiting in the car.”

It took us about 5 hours to get to Lagos. I

lodged them in a hotel and handed her

N50,000 in case she needed anything urgent

that night. I then left for home. I avoided

everyone and went straight to my room. I was

very unsettled and completely in distress. Ella

had been calling me but I was too weak to

pick her calls.

The following day, I drove to pick Ella so we

could go to church. She noticed I was not

myself and she asked me. “What is wrong

Adeoluwa ? you have been acting strange.”

I said to her. “I am pretty ill, but I will be

fine.”

I insisted it was a flu.

After church service, I dropped Ella at her

place and I went home to get some stuffs for

Tope and Junior. I got Tope a new Phone and

Junior, some of my old toys and lots of

candies. I got to their hotel room and she

appeared more relaxed. Next thing I heard

was. “Daddy!!”.

I saw the excitement on his face, it sent a

cold chill through my spine. Then Tope said.

“Junior, come on stop that. He is uncle not

daddy.”

He then said. “uncle!”

I smiled, for he looked so adorable. I gave him

his goodies and he said. “Thank you uncle.” I

was amazed and there was this urge inside of

me to spend time with him.

I then said. “Tope, try and relax today,

tomorrow you will go shopping with Junior.

Here is N150,000 for you 2. The driver will

come tomorrow in the morning, he will also

help open an account for you as well. I have

told him to secure an apartment for you in a

very good environment. It will take you guys 3

days at most to furnish and set up the place

to you taste.”

She then said. “Are you not going to be

around?”

I said. “I told you I will be traveling this week

and will be very busy. I may not see you till I

return from my trip. But I will always call

you.”
