“My Chidera. Look at you, all grown up.” Her Aunt says almost like she couldn’t believe it. Dera turns to me completely speechless. She must be in shock that she can’t even comprehend that her family is actually here.“Dami…” She starts to say and I take in her glassy eyes like she was going to cry. “Dami…” I let her walk into my arms.“You don’t have to say anything Love. I’m just glad I made you Happy. I’m glad got to see that Beautiful smile. So don’t cry or you’ll ruin your Make-up.”“Dami we should start going. The guests are waiting.” Mama tells me and I nod. She rubs Dera’s back.  I wish you a long and prosperous life filled with Joy, Happiness and all things good. God bless you my daughter.”

DERA.   I must have cried myself to sleep because when I woke I’m lying on the cold tiled floor and my phone is ringing nonstop from somewhere in the living room. I find it underneath one of the couch pillows and I see thirteen missed call from Seyifunmi. Just when I’m about to call her back, I get an incoming message from her.I know you’re angry and upset that’s why you’re not picking up any of my calls but I need you to go online now and watch Dami live. I read the message a second time just to be sure I read it well.

I don’t want to share just yet. Besides, we have Damola.” He tells me as he fixes his tux.I nod. He didn’t say it but from what he just told me, I was getting the idea that he didn’t want any more children. After all, he has his heir.  “You should get going

DAMI.   Dera hadn’t come out of her room in hours. I had to call Seyi, Trisha and Seun to come over. I don’t know what I was expecting but I thought they could help someway. I explained everything to them and pleaded with Dera from the other side of the door but she didn’t say a word. It’s almost 11pm and I haven’t gotten a reply from her. At this point I was beyond scared of what she could be doing.“I should go up and check on her.” I suggest staring at the stairs.“Relax jor. I think we should just give her space. Banging on the door and yelling won’t get you anywhere.” Seun says surfing through the channels. Trisha was fast asleep on the couch with her head on Seun’s lap.
