It’s been three weeks that Niniola has been avoiding her dad and Jamal’s mom, firstly she has been avoiding Jamal’s mom because she doesn’t know what to tell her and her Dad has been searching for her to forgive him ever since he heard that she now owns the biggest restaurant in town,Both Tomiwa and Niniola controls the best restaurant in town, they employed ten sales ladies who serves and six different women who cooks, they sells Rice, different kinds of rice, jollof and fried rice, coconut rice and rice milk, and so on, they also sells solid foods and different kinds of soups, they also make snacks and different kinds of fruit juice and ice cream, TomNinny Restaurant was the best in town,Thier cooks puts on a blue gown and a blue cap with a white apron and white shoes,while thier girls put on either yellow, or red or white tank top with a long black trouser and a black heels or black sneakers,Thier restaurant is well known to everyone in town,Niniola and Tomiwa were discussing in thier office when one of thier ladies came in and said
Lady:Ma, someone is outside asking for you
Tomiwa:I or Ninny and who is that?
Lady:It’s madam Niniola she asked for

Tomiwa:Ehm, Helen you can bring her in
Ninny:Bring who in, I said I do…
Tomiwa: Helen do as I said
Lady:Yes Ma’am (She went out)
Niniola:Why would you asked her to call her in? I don’t want to face her, I just want peace for my life
Tomiwa:And you think this is the right way right? Answer me Ninny is this the right way, believe me Niniola you can’t take care of this child alone, sooner or later the child will need Jamal, he or she will need Jamal, and you also you really wants Jamal, you love him but you are just not ready to open your heart
Niniola:Are you trying to lecture me now?
Tommy:We are friends and we need to sit each other down and talk to each other believe me or not if she comes in I will let her know that you are pregnant and I don’t think you will stop me from doing that
Niniola: Tomiwa if this is a joke just stop it because it’s getting too expensive, how can you say that?
Tomiwa:Just watch me because I will make su.. (Was cut short by Jamal’s mom’s voice coming inside)
Jamal’s mom:Ha Tomiwa you don’t need to stress yourself because I heard everything already (They both stood up at once for her, she sat down so also they sat with her) Niniola why, why? Almost three weeks have been trying to get through you, what happened, are you scared or what, For goodness sake having Jamal’s child in you will surely makes him to love you more, I hope you realize that Jamal is really sick(Niniola was shock)
Niniola:Sick how, what happened to him?How is he doing (Tomiwa just hissed on Niniola)
Jamal’s mom: So you love him,do you just see your reaction,do you see your reaction just now,you was shocked when you heard that he is sick,the day you left he travelled out the second day for a business and he came back last week,ever since he came back, Jamal has never be himself,we were told that a lot of mistake was done by Jamal,he couldn’t concentrate,he made several mistakes,if not that Jamal is the owner of the company,he should have been sacked,And ever since he came back he has been on the sick bed,He started feeling better just two days ago,Jamal sometimes do sleep in the living room,he said his room is bringing a lot of your memories to him,he really needs you right now,I personally need you and am sure you need me too,I need a daughter and that is you and you need a mother to take good care of you,most especially in this condition,we both need ourselves and that is the truth,I won’t come again to check on you,but please before it’s too late,come back home,the door is wide open for you, I know you are still experiencing some pains and heartbreak,come back home and I promise you to stand by you as your rock and as a mother, before it’s too late Niniola please come back home and take good care of yourself(She stood up to leave she touched Niniola’s stomach,she hugged her and kiss her forehead while she only hugged Tomiwa,She went out of the office while Niniola just sat back thinking
Jamal and his mom went to Jamal’s dad burial,Jamal’s mom was crying bitterly asking for his forgiveness,she refused to leave the burial ground until Jamal called David and Daniel from the car to help her stand up cause Jamal was a little bit weak and not yet ok,When they got home, Jamal was helped inside his room,His mom got him his medicine,she gave him to use and she gave him a cup of water to swallow the medicine,after that she helped him lay down on the bed,she said to him)
Jamal’s mom:I have found Niniola (Jamal sat up slowly immediately)
Jamal:Where is she?
Jamal’s mom:she is fine,but I hope you realized that she is pregnant for you
Jamal: Niniola,N…Ni.. Niniola is pregnant for me?
Jamal’s mom:She is,I think you should go after her once again,Don’t give up yet,give it a trial once again
Niniola was walking alone by the street,she just decided to have some walk,She was walking and at the same time thinking about jamal,She was thinking about thier kisses,thier great night together,She remembered thier funny moments together, suddenly she saw Jamal standing waiting for her,Tears dropped down from her face she ran to hug him but No! it wasn’t Jamal it was her imagination,She cried and said in her thought that
Niniola:Maybe they are right,Maybe they are all saying the truth,I can’t do without him, I think I needs him,and my baby wants him also,It was only in my dreams that he always appears but now I think he is in my imagination now,I love him also but I am just scared and I keeps on thinking on what is making me to be scared then I realized that I haven’t let go of my past and that is why am afraid and scared to fall in love again,but what about my promises to myself not to…(She was lost in thought that she didn’t Notice that she is standing at the front of her house but someone is blocking her way, she looked up to see who it was and it was Jamal standing at her front staring at her with a smile, he said
Jamal:It’s been awhile sunshine, How are you and how is my baby doing? (Niniola’s eyes almost popped out, She almost fall down to the ground because of what he just said but Jamal grabbed her by her waist staring at her, He kissed her while Niniola also kissed him back passionately, Niniola said
Niniola:I…..i thought it was my imagination again
Jamal:Of course not, it’s reality, Niniola I miss you, I really do
Niniola: I miss you more(Both locked thier lips on each other again while Jamal carried her in a bridal style straight to her room and on her bed, kissing every part of her body, taking off her clothes while she also helped Jamal with his clothes)

Rokanmi:I was just thinking about everyone I want to make sure that there should be a lot of food for everyone, it’s going to be serve yourself now
Tomiwa:Hmm, I think you are right about that, because am sure some people will bring some everlasting sacks and bowls since they already Knew that it will be serve yourself, maybe we should just do seventy bags, so that we can feed the world (Jamal couldn’t stop laughing, he said)
Jamal:Like seriously Tomiwa you are something else, which one is feeding the world, do you remember the show you put up in that eatery that day, you scared the hell out of the lady, but for real Daniel how are you coping with this girl

Jamal’s mom:If I hear pim, Common eat jor, She was unable to eat what they prepared for her this morning, If you know that you won’t eat, please help me feed my baby inside you, Madam take spoon and eat jor(Jamal was just smilling and staring at both his mom and his wife, they really look cute together, he went into a deep thought about how they first met, who would have thought that the two iron women will be so close as a mother and as a daughter, He was distracted from his thought when his mom hit the table shouting)
Jamal’s mom: Niniola you must not vomit that food oo(Jamal saw Niniola holding her mouth trying to vomit the food or something, he move closer to her, he gave her a pecked and collected the spoon from her mom he said)
