"Bukola, my dear" she runs to her as they both greeted each other, the noise from the entrance got into Bamidele's in the room.

"So mom, this is how you always sneak to enjoy in your own son's house leaving your husband alone at home abi" she teased her mother as they both walked down to the dining room.

In the middle of their conversation, Bamidele walked down to the living room to join his mother and her sister.

"Baby Sis, sorry that I couldn't pick your calls yesterday, a lot happened altogether" he said, looking all tired as he speaks to his sister.

"Well, I have made us breakfast even though I do not know your sister will meet us here today" mama beamed as they all walk down to the dining room.

It was from one gist to another and before they knew it, the morning has moved down to evening time.

"Wow, it's already past 4 and I almost forgot that I have laundry to do" Bamidele said as he walked down to the laundry room.

The weekend happened faster than the usual having the family around to keep Bamidele's company.

Days rolled by and it had been two weeks that mama had left as well as Bukola who only stayed for Saturday and Sunday before going back to her place.

On a beautiful Monday morning, the Board called for a meeting which includes all staff of the company Bamidele works in.

After a few deliberation, a new staff was introduced and everyone welcomed the new staff with rounds of applause while the new staff stand to introduce herself.

"I am Justina Oke and I will be assisting the Head of Marketing Department" she said as everyone exchanged pleasantries.

Justina was a light skinned young lady with dimple, her long hair was out of this world with her nerd glasses.

Miss Justina's office is adjacent to that of Bamidele and they got to connect faster than any other person in the company.

Justina was already counting days and days turning weeks into months as the unexplainable friendship was growing between Justina and Bamidele.

Weekends were now for other outings that Bamidele was almost skipping his boys night hangout.

One of the afternoon, his two friends called to see him by the coming weekend to catch up with so many gist.

The weekend was around the corner and he wasn't sure of his availability to his friend as his friendship with Justina had gone to the next level.

"Hello guys, can we make the meeting 7 instead of 8 because I have another meeting by 8:pm and I won't want to disappoint" was what he was saying on the phone to his friends that noon.

It was weekend already and Bamidele finally met with his friends after skipping about 5 meetings already.

"Guy, tell us wetin dey sup na" Femi had said but before he could round up his question Olu walked in with 3 cups and a drink in his hand.

"Alaye, wetin dey sele (what's going on)?, you are just scarce" Olu had said.

Bamidele apologise for been unavailable for the past few weekends now, he also added to the gist by telling them about his interest in the new staff at their work place.

"Guys, I'm going to be meeting with her family next week. She invited me over for a dinner" Bamidele said with smile on his face.

"Oshey baba mi (well done)"  Olu shouted while Femi raised his cup up and request them to do the same as they made a toast to Bamidele new found love.

The meeting ended that day and they all departed to their separate ways.

Finally, the day was here to meet with the family of Justina. Justina been the only child made her to be over pampered and over cared for.

"Good evening sir, Good evening ma" Bamidele greeted the parent prostrating.

"Is this not Bamidele Tomori?" the mother exclaimed.
