Chapter eleven

She continued hissing as she tried to explain something’s to him, Dayo kept asking her to tell him what was wrong but she shrugged, then when she couldn't take it anymore she stood up from the chair she was sitting and hurriedly moved to the bed, Dayo became excited as he felt that was a perfect opportunity for him to touch her, he waited for some time as he kept asking her what was wrong, but she continued to keep mute, it was then that he stood up and moved to the bed to join her, he laid on the bed so could be facing her as he insisted on knowing what was wrong, yet she remained mute while Dayo hesitated for a while before moving closer to her, then like he knew what she wanted he wrapped his hand around her body, she quiver a bit but he held her still, so she couldn’t move but before he could make further moves, they heard a knock on the door.

Rachel was quite eager as she knocked on the door of the room, she wasn’t sure of what she could ask Funmi, but she went ahead to knock on the door, she heard her voice on the second knock, as she said "hold on please”. Rachel was beginning to feel suspicious as it took her few minutes to open the door "na wa o, were you sleeping?" she asked, Funmi was a bit reluctant to respond as she held onto the door, hoping that she would just asked for whatever she wanted there, she stammered as she managed to reply "sorry Rachel, I was about to sleep”, Rachel took a step towards her, making her intention known that she wants to enter the room, Funmi had no choice than leaving the door for her to go in.

Rachel was good at hiding the shock she felt as she walked into the room, so many thoughts went through her mind as she couldn’t believe she could find Dayo in Funmi’s room, not only that, he was there in her room, but he was sitting right on her bed.

“Hello” she said as she tried to act like she wasn’t feeling anything, Funmi tried to cut her visit short as she demanded what she wanted" Rachel, what brought you to my house today?”, Rachel looked shocked as she wasn’t expecting the question from her, she thought Funmi wasn’t the rude type “na wa, you didn’t even ask me to sit down” she asked jokingly,

Funmi was about to talk when Dayo interrupted "wait seems I have seen this face before” Dayo asked,

FUCK YOU !!!, Rachel thought in her mind

“Yeah, she’s from our department" Funmi replied,

"Wow, that’s great, how are you dear?” Dayo tried to be friendly but to his surprise,

Rachel turned to look at him then made a loud hiss, she turned back to Funmi then said

"I thought you will appreciate me coming to saying hello”, she hissed again then left the room.

Chapter twelve

Dayo was angry this nonsense Rachael has come to spoil his chance, now he has to start all over again. Funmi refused to lay back on the bed as she insisted they continue with the lesson, but Dayo was serious now, he demanded to know what happened before he could continue with the class "Funmi I can’t concentrate either, your condition is getting to me too, you don’t understand, how can I be okay if you are not?” he said with a serious facial expression. Funmi felt the goose pimples that covered her skin as Dayo’s words magically worked on her, she couldn’t take his pestering anymore so she thought for a moment then said "you don’t have to be like that Dayo, I will be fine, it's just a mild headache” she lied, Dayo refused to go on with the class as he insisted on she taking some drugs before he leave.

He was about getting up from the bed when his phone rang, he looked at the screen and surprisingly it was his dad,

”good evening dad” he said with a low voice as he picked the call, he wasn’t expecting a call from his dad, he thought the man was still angry with him, he could remember the last time his dad called was few days after that incident at his office, and that was to inform him that he was travelling out of the country for some business seminar, but since them he hadn’t called him, and he too never bothered to call, now hearing his dad’ s voice made him wonder, as he said

"Evening Dayo, how are you?”

Dayo replied almost immediately "fine sir” but to his surprise his dad said

“Dayo is this how irresponsible you have become? You did not even bother to call, you did not even care to know how my seminar was going”.

Dayo almost burst into laughter as he was surprised by his dad’s words "so this man even missed me” he thought to himself before saying

"I'm so sorry dad, it’s not what you think,I have been so busy these days that I hardly have time for myself, but one thing I never forget is praying for you “he knew the right words to used when it comes to dealing with his dad, the old man never jokes with prayer, so he had used that to calm him down, just like he had predicted the dad said

"Really? Thank you son, I never forget you in mine too. So how have you been coping without money?

Dayo’s smile widened as he heard the word 'money',

"I have just been trying to adjust to the situation” he replied,

“What situation is that?” his dad asked

Dayo smiled and answered “the situation of not disturbing you much for money... "His dad interrupted him before he could finish the statement, "young man, do you have another father apart from me?”

Dayo smiled again "no dad”

"so, what are you talking about, anyway check your account tomorrow I will send some money to you” Dayo was so happy, he quickly made a promise to go and visit him during the following week before hanging up.

Chapter thirteen

It was Tuesday morning ,dayo struggled to get out of bed ,he looked at his watch and saw that it was 9:39am ,he's heart skipped as he thought he was late for class ,he quickly rushed to the bathroom to brush his teeth, during the process of brushing his teeth ,he remembered what his course mate said the previous day

"Oh today is even a public holiday" he knew he had nothing much to do so he picked up his phone and dialled his father’s number.

"Good morning dad" he said as he heard his father’s voice at the other end of the phone,

“morning dayo his father said" dayo didn't wait much before saying

” hope you are not too stressed with work dad"

"Not really, most of the work has been assigned to the staffs ,but have only got a few of them on my table" then the sound of the wall clock in he's fathers office sounded.

"Dad don’t tell me you are in the office o" dayo asked

“Well I don’t have anything I am doing at home, so it’s better for me to come and finish up this little work " dayo sighed

I don’t know why you like stressing yourself this much, anyways that will save me the stress of going home, I will be in your office soon"

It was noon before dayo arrived at his father’s office, he schools within the state so it was easy for him to travel from the town where he schools is located to the capital of the state where he lives, and has his dads office.

"Good afternoon sir" dayo said has he walked into the office ,he was a bit nervous ,the memory of what happened the last time he visited was rushing through he's mind ,

"Afternoon dayo, what took you so long,? “his father asked

"Don’t mind me, i ran into a little traffic"

He looked at the desk and noticed that some papers were littered on it, without thinking too much he moved towards the table and began to pick up the papers

"Are you working on this papers dad?" He asked, his dad looked in he's direction and said

"Yes jare, that's the file that brought me to work today, I need to finish it up before going home" dayo smiled ,as he arrange the papers

"You work like you don't even own the company, this things are meant to be done by your staffs”.

Just as he was picking up the papers he noticed that the calculation on the papers were familiar,

"Wait I can do this now” he thought to himself, he looked at his father then asked

"Are you through with this ones? Without’’ wasting time the dad said

"No, I just need to rest a little i will continue with that later”

dayo saw the opportunity to impress his dad ,he pulled out a chair ,sat on it then began to do the calculations, he was even more happy when he applied a formula that funmi once thought him.

He didn't hear anything from he's dad so he decided to take a peep at him,

“mhen see this man done sleep sha "he said looking at his dad’s direction ,he shrugged then quickly rushed through the rest of the work .
