Niniola was discussing with Tomiwa in Jamal’s room
Tomiwa: Niniola what do you want to do, You can’t just leave Jamal alone like this, he really needs you, and now you are having his child in you, Niniola just please, consider Jamal, cancel this contract so that both of you can start afresh, please Ninny,you love him and you know that he really loves you to,then what’s stopping you, please Ninny just consider him
Niniola: Tomiwa please stop, I have said mine and that is all, and this baby I am going to keep it, Jamal must not know about it
Tomiwa: Niniola you must be crazy, How can you do that to him, this is his child and he is having full right on this pregnancy,oh you think I won’t tell him right?
Niniola:You dare not tell h…. (Suddenly, Rokanmi, David and Daniel brought in Jamal, he was a little bit tipsy, They put him on the bed while everyone went out of the room leaving him with Niniola, he was a little bit burning up, his head seems to be hot, Niniola got a bowl and towel with some cold water,she put the towel in the bowl of water to place the towel on his head, after some minutes, she lifted his head up to put it on her laps,just to cuddle him and to let him sleep

The next morning, Jamal woke up feeling weak and having some headache, He could remember all what happened yesterday,Niniola was on her way bringing him a cup of coffee, suddenly she went straight to Jamal’s mom room, she met her sitting on the floor, she must have cried all through the night because her eyes are just like a thief that has been beating mercilessly, Niniola put down the tray in her hand, she helped her up to the toilet to washed her face for her, she gave her a towel to clean her face, Niniola checked her wardrobe to get her a gown to change into, after she had changed into another gown,tears dropped down on her face while Niniola whipped them with her hands she smile and said
Niniola: Everything is gonna be alright,stop crying ma
Jamal sat on the bed feeling so weak, suddenly someone came in, he thought it was Niniola or Bunmi or David or Daniel, but was surprised to see his mum carrying the tray that Niniola was holding earlier
Jamal:What do you want?
Jamal’s mom:I… I brought you a cup of coffee
Jamal: Thanks I don’t need it, Niniola! Niniola!!(Calling out Niniola)
Jamal’s mom:Alabi(Jamal was shocked,she has never for once call him that before, only his Dad called him that, but the way his mom called his name sounds different to him, it was more adorable than how his dad called him)
Jamal: What did you just call me?
Jamal’s mom:(She put the tray down, she move closer to him near the bed, she knelt down, sobbing) I am so sorry, I am sorry, I was blinded with money and golds, I realized now that they can never give me what i want, but you,only you can give me joy, Jamal am sorry, Alabi am so sorry, please, I don’t know if your dad will ever forgive me, but I promise to restore everything back, I will never for once leave you alone again, am deeply sorry for everything, Alabi am so sorry (Jamal hug his Mom tightly, both crying bitterly, Niniola was at the door listening to everything, Niniola couldn’t stop her tears, she really missed her mom that moment)
