"Well, as much as I know that the God I serve isn't an author of confusion, I'm sure it's not this house you are bringing that your single mother to. Laye! Ko jo (impossible)". She responded with so much pain and anger all written over her face.
"My dear, Bamidele is a full grown young man who is old and capable enough to choose what he sees to be the best for him" Bamidele's dad replied calmly.
"Ori mi ko, Eleda mi ko (I reject it, my creator rejects it too)" the mother started lamenting and reminding him of how much single girls are plenty in town, in church and other places. Why is he not praying and having interest in those ones.
The night was all cold for Bamidele as he couldn't get his thought together with little or no believe that the reaction at home will be that dramatic.
Everyone went to bed that night without saying much to each other.
A week later, Bamidele called his sister to help him talk to Mummy because she was the only one that was not giving in for Bamidele to bring the lady home.
Bamidele had told Tina how his mom reacted and they both kept it at praying that God should touch mommy and change her heart so she can take Tina in at 100%.
Every ways to change the mothers mind proved abortive.
One of the weekend's that Bamidele had to bring Tina home to finally meet with his parent, it was obvious that the mother was not really cool with Tina.
"Only God know if it's her parent that didn't teach her or maybe she was taught and she chose to disgrace the family" this and many more was all Bamidele Mom was saying in the house.
The one that left Tina all teary and pained is when she heard her ranting that "only God knows how many men she has slept with before giving birth".
Seven months down the lane that Bamidele and Tina had stated their love in Tokyo game, Tina's family had called for a mini introduction of the both family.
They had planned to make the meeting point to be a neutral place rather than any of both family house.
Bukola being an extrovert and a free spirited social person had gone round the town to see the best and suitable place for such gathering.
She picked one of the fast rising popular decent and not too expensive eatery in town and they all fix the time to 6:00pm in the evening so that everyone wont have any excuse to be late.
It was also that time of the session that the students were on holiday which automatically make Princess to be around for the meeting.
The Tomori's family arrived at the meeting venue a bit earlier and they were waiting for Tina's family.
"You know we are running late, just do a light make up and let's catch up with our parent as they all would have been waiting for us" Bamidele tried to hurry Tina.
"You know I have to look all good for you baby" she replied with a smile.
Bamidele's mom had not fully taken her in but she doesn't want to be the hindrance in the happiness of his son so she had to calm down a bit.
Tina's family, the Oke came a bit late but still in time around 5:58pm and Bamidele with Tina also joined them from behind.
The day had finally come and both family needs to meet.
But they are all left with the biggest shock as they approach the meeting point.
What happened next?
Watch out for the next episode.
