The ride to Lagos finally came to an end,Jide took the bags inside. Moreni just followed going into the bathroom to have her bath. Jide quickly change his clothes grabbing his phone
"I will be going over to the family house!"Jide shouted for Moreni to hear before walking out of the house,he rode his car to his family house and the first person he saw is his mom talking with Raphael's mom
"Good morning ma'am"he greeted the both of them,his mom's face lit up when she saw her son. Raphael's mom Mrs Korede just patted his back
"How was the journey to Ibadan?"His mom asked
"It was okay"he replied and Kike's image flashed on his memory. He smiled at least he is many distance away from her and hopefully he can kill all those desires before she comes over for her physical screening
"Where's Raphael?"he suddenly asked
"He is inside"Mrs Korede replied and they walk inside the house. They went over to his uncle Mr Korede's room and met Raphael sitting beside his dad,Raphael look up to see him and smiled
"You came!"Raphael said and Jide nodded sitting on a chair beside the bed
"How's he doing?"Jide asked
"Good,he was talking before sleep took him"Raphael said and Jide nodded
"Come over let's eat!"they suddenly heard Aunt Miriam's voice. They all stood up heading to the dining room,aunt Miriam prepared yam porridge, Jide quickly grabbed a seat sitting down. He loves aunt Miriam's hot porridge. Aunt Miriam served them and they sat at the table eating silently
"So how is it?"Aunt Miriam asked eagerly looking at Jide. Jide chuckled
"It's superb as always,my wife have to come and learn from you"Jide said and Aunt Miriam's smile grew larger
"So because I can't cook your wife can't come and learn from me?"aunt Victoria Jide's mom asked and everyone chuckled. It's well known Aunt Victoria is a disaster in the kitchen
"Mom... I didn't say that"Jide said trying to hold in his laughter,he never mind his mom doesn't know how to cook. He always had aunt Miriam and Mrs Korede to get him what he wants in the kitchen
"Ok ooo..."Aunt Victoria stressed "ehen what about you Raphael,when did you plan on getting married you know you're not a kid anymore. You're thirty years now"Aunt Victoria asked and all attention fell on Raphael
"I haven't see any girl worth getting married to"Raphael replied and his mom snorted
"Or you're not into women? I haven't even see you introduce one person to me as your girlfriend"Mrs Korede said and Jide snickered. If only they knew the kind of person Raphael is
"Mom! I'm into women hundred percent and I have slept with them too"Raphael said frowning and Aunt Miriam eyes went wide
"So you're not even a virgin"Aunt Miriam joked and everyone bursted into laughter
"Grown up man a virgin,this one that have loose it since his teenage years"Aunt Victoria said and Jide laughed,he's really enjoying everything
"Abeg leave my baby alone. He is my last born in my male children"Mrs Korede cooed and everyone laughed
"Raphael the last born"Jide joked and Raphael frowned
"That's Sarah abeg,Sarah is the last born not me"Raphael said and started eating, while everyone continue making jest of him
****
"I always knew time like this will come"Raphael said breaking the silence,Jide who is on his phone turn to look at him. The dining is over and they're presently inside Raphael's room
"Time like what?"Jide asked
"Asking me when I'm getting married,you even spiced everything up by asking Moreni to marry you"Raphael said and Jide snickered "By the way,how was the trip and family. Why did you come back so soon?"
"Hmmm!"Jide sighed "it was a long story"
"I have time"Raphael said looking curious
"Her family are okay, they're very nice including her extended family I was able to meet. I think the problem is me"Jide said and Raphael got confused
"How? I don't understand"Raphael asked
"I was crushing on Moreni's younger sister,I have to leave immediately"Jide said and Raphael's eyes went wide
"You can't be serious! Oh my God! Hope you have killed the feelings?"Raphael asked and Jide sighed
"That's the aim right now,I have to leave before I do something I will probably regret. You know me Raphael I'm not always like that,I didn't just know what happened and I can't seem to stop thinking about this girl"Jide said and Raphael remain quiet
"You know Moreni doesn't deserve this,she have been a good woman to you"Raphael said and Jide sighed squeezing his eyes shut
"Of course I know she's been good to me that's why I probably left to kill whatever is there,it's just infatuation nothing more. It will pass by with time"Jide said and Raphael nodded
"How old is this girl?"Raphael asked
"She's twenty"Jide replied
"Gosh! She's still very young"Raphael said and Jide nodded
"Let's stop talking about her and tell me about your latest catch"Jide said and Raphael groan
"I don't have any latest catch but I do have two one night stand"Raphael said and Jide bursted into laughter
"To say aunt Miriam thinks you're a virgin?"Jide said and this time around they both bursted into laughter.

A week after Moreni went back to Lagos,she was in her office busy going through paper works in her desk when her phone started ringing,she picked the call without looking at the caller's ID
"Hello?"she said immediately after picking the call,she placed the phone between her ear and her shoulder.
"Agape"she heard Timothy's voice and gasped,she took the phone from her ear immediately looking at the caller's ID,she internally cursed herself squeezing her eyes shut
"What do you want?!"she said with venom spitting out of her voice
"Calm down Chica" Timothy said and Moreni swallowed,after thinking Timothy is finally out of her life and right now he's back to threaten her,she regretted and cursed the day she set her eyes on him
"I'm in the office and I'm busy,you better start talking"Moreni said and Timothy chuckled
"I won't waste your time,I will be coming to Lagos in three days time. We are going to meet around 8pm"Timothy said and Moreni look at her phone giving it an unbelievable look
"I'm living with my fiancé Timothy! I can't leave the house by that time!"Moreni said feeling very angry,she was tempted to throw the phone on the wall. She remembered that it was Jide who bought the costly phone for her and decided against it
"You better find a way to meet up with me,you wouldn't want me to rant you out to your fiancé"Timothy said and Moreni felt lumps growing on her throat
"Why are you doing this to me?! I thought you said you loved me!"Moreni yelled out of frustration
"Of course I did until you did the unbelievable,anyways I will send you the location. Start preparing the lie you're going to tell your fiancé,you have three days to prepare"Timothy said and ended the call. Moreni dropped her phone on top her desk running her hands from her head to her face,she doesn't know what to do with Timothy and she thought the best thing to do is meeting up with him and ending everything for once.
Suddenly her phone start ringing and she picked the phone shouting
"What is it?!"she shouted
"Oh sister it's me"she heard Kike's voice and calmed down a bit
"What do you want Kike?"Moreni asked
"I wanted to let you know I'm coming to Lagos tomorrow"Kike said and Moreni sighed rubbing her eyes
"Okay,don't worry I will ask Jide to pick you up when you arrive at Lagos"Moreni said
"You don't have...."Kike begin and Moreni ended the call throwing her phone on top of the desk,she sighed loudly before her head slumped on the desk

Kike look at her phone after the call came to an end,she wondered what was wrong with her sister to talk like that to her, she shrugged it off and turn to look at her mom coming inside her room
"Have you get everything ready?"her mom asked and she sighed
"I'm about arranging my bags"Kike replied and her mother frown slightly
"It's better you get everything ready right now. You shouldn't forget anything especially your files, everything should be intact"Mrs Rotimi said and Kike smiled
"I will mom,thank you so much"she said and her mom smiled
"Be a good girl, huh?"her mom said before walking away. She sighed again and took her small bag arranging everything inside,she had thought about spending a week with her sister before coming back to Ibadan
Her phone suddenly start ringing and she took her phone
"Babe"she heard Favour's voice
"What's up dear?"Kike said placing the phone between her ear and her shoulder while she continue arranging her stuffs
"I'm fine,are you still coming tomorrow?"Favour asked and Kike chuckled
"Of course I am. I'm even arranging my stuffs right now"Kike said and Favour sighed happily
"I'm so eager to see you"Favour said and Kike chuckled
"I'm eager to see you too. Just take good care of yourself for me huh?"Kike said
"I will my love"Favour said before the call came to an end.
Kike dropped her phone on the bed sighing rubbing her hand on her face before she continue arranging her stuffs,she can't wait to see herself in Lagos doing her registration and finally being an official student of University of Lagos. She wondered how the school is,new faces she's going to meet and only prayed she survive her days in the school
