BETTY: alright, that song na mama daniella’s favourite oo
ME: really?
BETTY: yeah, she loves playing it always. Infact, the song is her ring tone and caller tune
ME: eyah, I love it too sha, the guy tried in the song, I just hope he sings another one better than this soon, or else, nigerians will just forget him like azadus.
BETTY: **laughed** funny you, and coincidentally, that phone rang at the exact time my daddy dialled aunty bimpe’s number.
ME: ****mo daran, “I don enter am”****** really?
BETTY: yeah, or is she with you?

ME: no vex jaree, don’t mind me.

ME: he stepped out just now as his phone was ringing, he went to pick a lady from the bustop, the lady was the person calling him, maybe when he is back sha,
BETTY: ok dear,
ME: let me meet your dad dear
BETTY: not yet onihaxy, I haven’t discussed about you with him. Let me do that first, then the introduction will follow
ME: alright dear. Hope you are hearing from sister bimpe?
BETTY: yeah, we spoke together very early this morning, but my dad is with her on phone presently, I will talk to her later.
ME: ok dear, my regards to her when you speak with her.
BETTY: ok dear. Onihaxy please I will call you back, she just asked to speak with me.
ME: ok dear
BETTY: ***hanged up****
I stood up from the bed, picked the keys to my new apartment and also picked the envelope. I walked towards the door and opened it, I saw bimpe sitting on the staircase speaking to someone on phone whom I believed to be betty, she sat at the center and hence prevented me from walking through. I had no choice than to stand behind her till she ended her call.
When she was through with her call, she turned to the back, stared at me from head to toe and held my leg.
ME: bimpe, let me pass,
BIMPE: no, we are going back inside.
ME: no na. Don’t let us do like that, remember we had an agreement.
BiMPE: **smiled**** just kidding dear, or do you want to touch another man’s property?
ME: why not?, if the property is worth touching na.
BiMPE: you no well, you no dey fear thunderbolt abi?
We both laughed and cracked jokes as she stood up from the stairs and we both walked downstairs to the living room. We sat down on the same side of the chair and we continued cracking jokes as I told her what betty said to me on phone and we both laughed over it.
BIMPE: that your wife sef!!!
ME: wetin do her oo?
BiMPE: she saw something, picked it and wanted to kill herself ontop of it, what does she want the person who lost the thing to do?.
ME: na two of una sabi.
BimpE: ***laughed** na the two of you no well
ME: thanks so much bimpe for all your care and concerns for me since my arrival in lagos. You have been so wonderful and you make me to wonder if this is not the same bimpe that had been terrorising me in the past.
BIMPE: na me be the terror niyen oo abi?, na me be mrs evil abi?
ME: no na. Not like that
BiMPE: **smiled** just kidding, you are welcome onihaxy. You know, there will always be a time in an individual’s life that you will just have to let go of war and embrace peace.
ME: hmmm, true talk dear. That reminds me bimpe.
BIMPE: what is that dear?
ME: I have always wanted to ask, why is daniella not having a younger one at her age. Or is there no plan for it yet?
BIMPE: *** mood changed and took a deep breathe*** hmmmmmmmmmm
ME: why the deep breathe Bimpe?, or is there something hidden about it?
BIMPE: nothing hidden dear, just that I have been pregnant twice after the birth of daniella.
ME: what happened to the pregnancies?
BIMPE: I had miscarriages, the first was after 2 months while the second was three and half month old pregnancy.*** feeling sobbed ***
ME: ***moved closer and pat her on her back*** I’m so sorry about that dear.
BIMPE: its alright.
ME: have you guys consulted a doctor concerning the issue?
BIMPE: yes we did. I have been placed on medications.
ME: I pray it works sha.
BIMPE: I hope so dear. That reminds me, how about your friend?
ME: who?
BIMPE: segun or what is his name?
ME: oh! Segun, he is fine. Its been long I spoke with him sha.
BIMPE: long kee?, why?
ME: since I started this banking job, I had been disconnected from everybody, I hardly chat with people again these days.
BIMPE: eeyah, I know you must have discussed about me with him, don’t lie onihaxy.
ME: not really, I just told him you are the wife of betty’s elder brother.
BIMPE: is that all?
ME: yes
BIMPE: he told you to harm me shebi?
ME: rara ooooo,
BIMPE: then what has he said?
ME: nothing. He just said we shouldn’t fight anymore since our spouses are related, that’s all
BIMPE: are you sure that’s all he said?
ME: yeah
BIMPE: ok, good. Just that I don’t trust that boy. I’m very sure he must be planning a harm for me through you.
ME: no na bimpe. Segun is a very nice person oo, he was just angry because of the double stunt you played while you were in akure.
BIMPE: hmmmmm, I hear.
ME: bimpe, thanks for the apartment you got for me, I’m so grateful and I so much appreciate. May God continue to bless you.

ME: bimpe, sincerely, I don’t do all these spiritual stuffs.
BIMPE: huuuuuuh!!, sit down there, let me tell you, everybody seek for power and spiritual help, just that people don’t just loud it. Its never a sin as long as you don’t use it to do evil or harm another person.
