SLEEVELESS Episode 2

The sight got all blurry and focus weren't clear as flash light from both side of the road were pointing to him to stop.

As he was getting closer, the pace in which he was driving was getting slower. He thought to himself that why will the police officers be operating this late inside the rain.

"Young man, stop this car" a tall guy with a deep bass voice said and immediately, he commanded Bamidele to roll down the window. Bamidele did but trying to clear his curiosity and asked immediately "How may I help you sir?"

The man laughed sarcastically placing his hand on the car saying "what if you are the one that needs our help?"

This left Bamidele more confused as the man kept laughing, Bamidele's heart beat was increasing like someone trying to mix a beat in mind.

"In what sense sir?" Bamidele asked but to his uttermost surprise, the man said to him that they meant no harm.

"We got a call some minutes ago that the bridge that is leading to Road 3 has been damaged, that's why we were instructed by oga to come and stand here to direct people" he smiled as he asked Bamidele to go and drive gently.

Bamidele who was nervous already, sighed heavily as he drove away but all through the time he was with the officers, his phone had been ringing but he didn't know.

Minutes later, he arrived at his apartment just to find his mother waiting and sitting at the gate of his house.

"Mama B" as he fondly call his mother "you didn't even tell me you were coming over" he said as he was closing the car door, having his suit laid across his other hand and his tie sagging down on his shirt.

"So I have to take permission before coming to see my own son" Mama replied raising her eye brow.

Bamidele assisted Mama who was looking all tired and fagged out in her Ankara skirt and blouse and her small handy leather bag.

"Mum, but how long have you been waiting outside and why didn't you call me so to hasten my coming home?" Bamidele said out of concern but mama shoved it all out by letting him know she's tired and she needs to rest first.

As tired as mama was, she had gone to the kitchen to prepare rice so that she can eat and Bamidele as well.

Bamidele had the chance to check his phone and realised mama had called for about 7 times but he missed her calls.

He dropped his phone and went straight to shower as well as freshen up. The drama that happened during the day kept ringing and playing in his head.

"Bamidele, come down oo! Your food is going to get cold" mama shouted.

Few minutes later,  Bamidele joined mama at the dining table as they started mother to son gist.

"Mom, this your food is just so delicious, that's why dad keep looking so fresh and young" he teased his mom but mama wasn't even ready for the whining because what she had on her mind was far way deeper than that.

"Bamidele my son, I have something very important to discuss with you"

What did mama want to say?
