CHRISTIANA'S POV.
"Hair Done, Nails Done, Clothes Ready.. We are so ready to get this diploma." Dera chessed as I made a video of my new hair. My hair was in Fulani Braids using a Darling Brown Attachment."Guyyy, we are graduating sha, what's next for you?" Dera asked excitedly sitting on my bed."Omooo, just rest until NYSC starts. After get my masters done and bag a job." I let out a sigh because I keep asking myself the same question."Me toooo, I'm not sure what I want to do my masters in yet but did I tell you I want to teach?" She said and I looked at with wide eyes shaking my head 'No'."Yeah or I will start a just business. Be a big boss." She added smiling."Period. ""Do you think we will still be close?" She asked with a faint smile."Why won't we? After all the three years of us being together. Times we ate weird combos because we had spent all our money on something stupid. Or when we started that clothing brand and after 2 weeks we stopped because we were lazy---""Ummm you were the one that was lazy I still continued. "She cut me off making me laugh."Point is you are my ride or die, you have been with my through bad times and good times. I love you and I appreciate you for everything you have done for me. So stop all those thoughts. You know you are my G for life. "I said tearing up and a single tear dropped from her eye."I love you too, and you have done a lot for more than you know. I'm sorry for even asking that stupid question. "She smiled clearing the tear that dropped from her eye and also wiping my tears making me chuckle and hug her."Do you remember when we didn't talk for a week because you didn't want me to date that stupid Micheal guy?" Chidera asked reminiscencing."God, I hated that guy. I swear through this 4 years we have dated rubbish guys." I told her and she nodded agreeing."That guy was for the streets and is still for the streets. Can't believe I was a bet and he won sha." She shook her head."How much did he win again?" I asked laying down on my bed."I think 20k, all his 4 friends gave him 5k each. He still watches my stories and likes my posts and comments." She answered."Men are scum, Richard still messages me sef even after I blocked him everywhere." I told her."Can't blame them, look at us." She hyped us twerking a little on the bed. I smiled shaking my head at her."Let's invite Aishat and Temi maybe even your bigheaded friend, Jonathan." Dera said coming back to my room."We can just drink, eat and reminisce then they can sleep over." She added excitedly as if she was already imagining it in her head."Oya naw but Johnathan will definitely not come, I heard there's a party tonight and he has been posting it everyday so that's where he will be." I told her already inviting Aishat and Temi."Okay, let me tell Temi to bring drinks. Because that girl always has alcohol." She chuckled to herself typing on her phone.I viewed a few people's status before standing up to go and arrange for the girl's night.******Later That Night."Okay, I had a sugar daddy, I am virgin, ummmm... I am in a serious relationship,Which is the lie?" Temi stated as we played two truths and one lie.We were sipping a red wine I bought a few days back."You are in serious relationship is the lie." Chidera said waiting for her to say something but Aishat shook her head and said," You are virgin is the lie, I am 1000 percent sure. "She said with her full chest and Temi bursted out laughing."Tiana, how about you? "Temi asked. I shrugged "I think I am going with Aishat."" Why would you guys think I had a sugar daddy? But anyways Aishat is right. "She said sipping her wine laughing."You obviously had a sugar daddy and has. "Chidera said making us all laugh."I swear I am going to miss you guys. " Aishat said tearing up as she still had a year left and she wasn't really close to people in her department."Me too, all of you I don't even know what I am going to do next." Temi spoke sadly."Don't worry when you graduate next year and you are settled down we will have a girl's trip. Maybe go to Maldives or Dubia. "Chidera assured getting excited.I swear she's always excited about everything."I'd like that. Who knows one of us could be getting married around that time" Aishat smiled faintly."Wait, wait, Temi is in a serious relationship? "I said remembering the two truths and one lie.Chidera and Aishat looked at her with wide eyes making her burst out laughing."Yeahrr." She smiled and batting her eyelashes."When? How? Who?" Aishat bombarded her with questions."I will introduce him to you guys soon. You have met him and know him too" She expressed smirking looking at me.Ummm..okay..She had dated a man she was really in love with only to find out he was married, she cried so bad that's when Dera and I first met her."Just tell us who." Chidera stated impatiently."Soon,soon" She said smiling at her."Omoo" Aishat mumbled before laughing."Time for alcohol and dancing pleaseee." Temi went to grab the liquor and I took out my phone connecting it to the speaker playing 'What Type Of Dance Is This By Dj kaywise Zlatan, Mayorkun and Nairamarley.'We danced and shouted, 'WHAT TYPE OF DANCE IS THIS' when it got to the chorus. We ate, had fun and reminiscing on the days spent in this university and glad we were finally graduating."Promise we will continue to be this close no matter where we are." Chidera slurred sticking out her pinky and we pinky promised with Temi and Aishat.I hope we do.YEARS LATER...ABUJA, NIGERIA."What's wrong with my wife? Where's my son?" James asked standing up as soon as the doctor walked towards him.His first child, the twins, Favor, Aunty Ronke and his mother were there with him. They had all come from far and near since it was close to Tiana's due date."Your son is doing well. Here." The nurse handed his new born son to him and everyone instantly fell in love with him."But your wife..." The doctor trailed off making everyone frown.James was in the labour room when Tiana pushed out their son but all of a sudden her blood pressure and her heart rate started to decline so they sent him out of the room."She fell into a coma due to haemorrhagia...." The doctor continued to explain and James sat down slowly and his mum tried to take his son from him but he shook his head. Aunty Ronke started crying and their daughter was confused on why everybody's mood suddenly changed."Where's Mummy?" Their 2-year old asked lowly."She's resting..." Tai
JAMES' POV.A FEW MONTHS LATER.I had been doing a lot of big things to be honest, my business was doing well and so were my family. I bought mum a house in Lagos since she wanted to start a new catering business in Lagos, mumsi doesn't even want rest at all, and it's easier for her to access the international airport there.My sisters were busy with the planning of the wedding and themselves. Kehinde has been getting brand deals back to back and she felt like someone who had won a Grammy. Taiwo was planning to travel out after our wedding to further her education.But Tiana and I....well, we haven't exactly been doing well. Even before I proposed, we have had better days. I remember Seun asking me this;"So James what exactly happened between you and my bestie? Cause at a point all of us thought you guys broke up then all of sudden you are proposing and buying her Lamborghini." He said and my friends nodded agreeing."After the rumour of me being with that South African girl, we talk
MONTHS LATER(NOVEMBER).....OMNISCIENT POV.Over the past few months, a lot has happened like a whole lot.Two weeks after Tamara and Matthew's one year anniversary, Tamara finally gave birth to a beautiful baby girl which Tiana strongly manifested and prayed for.During the naming ceremony, they announced to their friend and relatives their daughter's name as Fiyinfolouwa.Tamara and Deji's father came through for the naming ceremony with his second wife. Aunty Ronke, Tiana and Deji were pissed but completely ignored his presence. Tamara even saw him and acted like she didn't. He was dead to her.Daniel and Doyin were doing okay, except Doyin's normal jealousy fit. Daniel wasn't tripping about it yet, he would happily show her his phone and reassure her. He even bought her a new store for her business on her birthday in March and they both had been traveling around the country and world at large.Mustapha was courting a new Muslim girl he met respectfully while Deji was reluctantly g
MONTHS LATER.FEBRUARY 11TH.LAGOS, NIGERIA."Bi awon Omo de ma n se ni yen." Aunty Ronke told James'mum as they all arranged for the Women's Empowerment Program Fundraiser where a few celebrities will be performing.(That's how Children do.)"Orisirisi." James'mum said shaking her head. Tiana begged James to send his people to cook and all but when James'mum heard she decided to send her own people with herself to come cook. Even though she was in Contonou getting jewelry with Aunty Ronke. They got close around January when they met at Tiana's new apartment who they both disapproved that she needed. They became close because they both agreed Tiana should move in with Aunty Ronke instead and they just vibed."Shey the women don't want to learn how to barb hair too? I can help o." Johnathan said about to play with Tiana's head. "Mister Man, go and change your shirt jor or coordinate those children. Don't disturb me." Tiana said smacking his hand while walking away."I'm not wearing t
TIANA'S POV.28TH DECEMBER(3 DAYS LATER)LONDON,UNITED KINGDOM."Welcome to the UK, ma'am." A white man dressed in a black suit like in the movies said with his strong British accent as I walked towards him rolling my box. He held my name and I frowned a bit expecting to see Olamide or someone I knew."Thank you." I said lowly entering a white Mercedes-Benz. I adjusted my joggers and fixed my hoddie properly sighing.MY SUGAR 😋♥️Have you arrived?Did you see the man I sent?I just landed a few minutes ago.Kehinde💞Hey b, how u doing???Brother Mide said you were coming today💃Have you arrived??Lmk when you do.I have a surprise for you ♥️I'm just so excited to see youuuu!I chuckled reading her messages then replied;I'm excited to see you too.I just arrived and have absolutely no idea where I am going to.So I will call you when I settle in."First time in the UK,Miss Peterson?" The man asked."Yes, sorry I didn't get your name." I asked since I didn't just want to be in a c
"Good evening ma." Tiana knelt down greeting her very aged grandmother who sat with her uncles and aunts from her dad's side."How are you? We heard what happened to you." Aunty Ajoke asked her softly and Tiana smiled a little.The news about their kidnapping was all over social media. They weren't able to get the full information about what happened so they left vague descriptions on what happened on the news and on blogs. Even people at work were attempting to ask her about it, but fell back."Good afternoon grandma." Jasmine said interrupting any further interrogations about the whole matter.Everyone had been trying to talk to Tiana about it but she had barely spoken to anybody including James. This was like how she was after her parents died, maybe because of how scared she was when she saw the bullet graze James'arm.The only time she talked was to make sure everybody was fine. James,Tamara, Deji and Mustapha were who she was worried about when she heard gun shots. One hit James
