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)

Jamal’s mom asked tomiwa to turn the poundo yam, but she was like

(Jamal’s mom grabbed her by the hand and directed her to the pot)
Jamal’s mom:Oya, turn it!(Bunmi and Niniola giggles) and you Niniola
start slicing that onion, Tomiwa bursted into laughing, because Niniola
has always hate to peel or slices onions, it makes her to cry, They were
all discussing and laughing in the kitchen, Rokanmi came in, He saw
Jamal’s mom putting some salt to the soup the ladies saw him, but
Jamal’s mom couldn’t see him, he move closer to the chicken that has
been fried, he doesn’t want Jamal’s mom to see him, Niniola and others
couldn’t stop laughing silently, The moment he put his hand in the bowl
to take a chicken, Jamal’s mom said
Jamal’s mom:If you take that chicken, Rokanmi consider yourself gone

backing him, Everyone laugh out, At the dining room everyone was eating
serving thierslves, no maid was allow to work that day, they were all in
thier room resting, Jamal’s mom was the one to serve Jamal, but she was

to your house is done, you are now brave, no more medicine, no more
scary things, and you and your mum are back together, am happy that the
contract is done, I Know you love me, and I want you to know that I also
do the same, but I have made up my mind already, I have promised
myself, never to be in any relationship again, and am sorry to hurt you,
my wounds are still fresh and I don’t think I can jump into any
relationship for now, maybe later,I wish you a happy life, I hope you
get a better woman than me, and help me tell your mom that I love her
and the shoes she gave to me, tell her they are the best gift that I
have ever received, tell her I love her and am sure she will take care
of you, have a nice life, From Ninny (Jamal fell back to the chair
shedding tears while his mum who was already shedding tears rapidly
said)
Jamal’s mom: Jamal, you just lost a rare Gem, you shouldn’t have asked
her for a contract,Such a lady for a contract? I Know what to do, David
