She didn't have an exact answer to her troubling mind but she was afraid that he was gradually stealing her heart away.
At cedar court high, he had gathered some courage just so he would open up his true feelings to the girl he was badly crushing on. His hopes tattered when she declined his request to be his date and went after their class prefect, Frank.
May was sure she didn't like him then, she didn't see any thing special in or about him, she didn't feel anything more than being friends with him but now, she couldn't say the same. They were getting more acquainted as time passed by and she got to see some special attributes he possessed.
Mama Edric entered her kitchen and May followed suit, dropping her bag on the kitchen counter.
"I am cooking egusi soup," Mama Edric announced, taking off the pot's cover and stirring inside the pot with a cooking spoon.
May looked around in discomfort

MAY Chapter fifty four.
"May, I don't know how you'll take this but I have to make this request from you and it is important that you grant it. Since you divorced with my son two days ago, Maryam hasn't been eating properly. She has become suddenly stubborn and would refuse to come out of her room. The other night, I went close to her room door. I heard her sobbing which means she doesn't also get enough sleep. My heart is worried, May. I'm scared that if she continues this way, she might fall very sick. Would you want that to happen? I don't know for you but she is my first grandchild and I'll never want that for her. Please come live with us in the family house. I beg you. I know you just relocated to your new building so this would be hard for you but still remember you are not doing this for me. You are doing this for your only child. Consider this request so my Maryam would be happy again. Also, please don't prove stubborn or say you wouldn't come because if anything bad happens to Marya
MAY Chapter fifty five.
Maryam eyes filled with tears, "But I want you two to remarry, daddy. I am not happy, daddy. Family lives together not separately.""Enough, Maryam!" He yelled, shocking her. "We are not having this conversation again."After May had listened to their conversation, she went back to her room and shed tears. She knew that she felt like a free bird and was happy but her daughter wasn't. Their divorce was hurting Maryam and it was hard for her to accept her parents separation."May?" Edric called from behind her, pulling her out from the flashbacks she was having.May turned around from the window to look at him, "What?" She asked, tightly grasping the tea cup."Please listen to me." He begged, "I want to tell you something."She glanced at the old wall clock quickly and then faced him, "I have somewhere to be tonight but you have a minute,""Thank you. Ugh..

May stepped outside, shutting the door behind her silently. The cool night breeze welcomed her and she hugged herself. The stars far above them in the sky twinkled and the street lights shone brightly."What took you so long?" Tega inquired as he rushed to her side to open the car door for her. He was such a gentleman. She sent him a warm smile as she entered. He turned around back to the driver seat."I didn't hear you honking the car and I was inside my room, having some tea." She lied, not wanting to bring up her ex husband's name into the picture. "It's alright," He said as the car's engine roared to life, "You look splendid by the way." he complimented.
MAY Chapter fifty seven.
May finally received the dialer but unfortunately, it disconnected before she could even say, "Hello". Worried and confused, she called Iby back but his line was switched off.She didn't understand why such a thing would happen and it saddened her heart, yet, she was happy and relieved to have received his call after few weeks of trying to reach him but to no avail. He was back to Nigeria safely and that was something to be thankful for. She only wished within herself that she would see him before the week ends and maybe spend some time with him like she's used to.On the other hand, Tega drove in silence, unsure of what to say to her. He knew she was still mad at him for the scene he created at the restaurant, but he had done what he did because of the love he had for her. He had thought reprimanding the waiter would show her that. He really wished she would reason everything with him. He really wished she would change her mind and be his

Even if May tried hard not to smile, she did for reasons unknown to her. Was she actually having feelings towards her distraction? She wasn't sure. She pushed the thought away and bent down to wash the clothes.Half way through her washing, a pair of strong hands closed her eyes from behind. Her vision became dark and fear seized her breath for a while.But then, she relaxed a bit with the thought that Tega might be at it again, playing tricks like he was used to.She traced the hands up with her fingers like a blind woman, "Tega?" She asked, but no response only a giggling sound. She wasn't finding it funny. "Tega, would you stop already?"The unknown person lips and breath came closer to her ear after awhile and whispered softly, "Do you mind to tell me whom Tega is? Cause I am not him, Flower."Flower!It dawn on her that only one person calls her that. Also, his voice. Sh

She knew Tega was waiting for her outside the family house because he kept blaring his car's honk but she was too offended to go out and meet him. He didn't think after the lie he told Iby earlier she was still going to fall at his feet like nothing happened. If he thought so, then he was dreaming because May had changed her mind. No more club Bara tonight. She needed to talk to Iby and that was more important. Only if he would receive her several calls or reply her texts. May rolled on her bed restlessly, in the verge of shedding tears. Iby had never really ignored her like this so it was just too much to take in. A soft tap came to her room door and she hesitantly asked who it was at the door. "Tega is outside waiting for you." Mama Edric informed, "Seems like he wouldn't leave until you see him. Plea

"Hey, Hey, hold your horses there. Iby is not just any guy, Tega. At least, not to me. Why would you lie to him? Are we dating?"He drew closer to her with a smile, "Don't you think its about time we do? It's taking too long for crying out loud." He traced his fingers down the side of her face just like Iby would've. The only difference is, he wasn't Iby and this gave her a stinking feeling in the pit of her stomach.She slapped his hand off her, "We are not dating and we would never date.""Okay, I know you're angry because of my little lie so I'm sorry. But did you see how Iby was looking at you? I knew immediately that he has feelings for you and I can't stand that. It makes me so jealous, May. That's why." Tega explained, hoping to be forgiven."You're jealous to a fault, Tega." May shook her head in negative. "And that's enough reason why we can't be together. Not today, not tomorrow and not even in o
MAY Chapter sixty one.
As for Edric, he had lost hope in retrieving his money back from Bella. She was no where to be found and her line was never going through. It didn't take long for him to accept the fact that she had lied to him from the start about her family's background and now, had ran away with his money. That huge amount of money. It was frustrating, annoying and making him think alot that he lost concentration at work. When his boss couldn't take all the errors Edric would always make at work, he sacked him and that only made matters worse for Edric.He knew he couldn't get another job so easily since he wasn't a graduate but he tried his best, searching for other jobs. On looking at his curriculum vitae, his application was always turned down by the manager of the company saying that Edric wasn't qualified enough to work with them. When he tried more companies and was never accepted, it got him depressed. The sudden turn in his life was making him lose his mind slow
