Osas P.o.v

"Off to school now." I watched as Boma strotted to his class.

I had explained and given the form teacher my number in case of any emergency comes up and to call Ruth.

For the mean time, Boma is my son.

"Where are we of to ?" Nonso asked as I slipped into the car.

"The hospital." I needed to have a talk with dad.

"How're you feeling today?." Stella gave me tight hug.

"You'll kill me with your hug."

She laughed as she stepped back. " Isn't that what you wanted days ago."

" But not like this." I smiled.

Stella was a person that can turn a dreadful thing into a joke.

" Is he around?".

" Yeah but his in a meeting. It will soon be over."

" I'll wait for him then."

"His office is free sha."

We both headed to his office." So how is Seyi?." She asked.

"What do you mean?." I said cautiously.

"Ah ah. What is what do I mean.'

"Seyi is fine I guess."

"Why are you guessing?."

I sat on Dr Marx chair. It was mich comfortable than the rest.

"Well after he left yesterday I haven't seen him or talked to him since."

"Has your phone spoilt ?"

"No."

"Why don't you call him." She said as a matter -of- fact.

I nodded." What's the point of calling him. I have nothing to say to him and I've already thanked him earlier."

"I've already thanked him earlier." She mimicked. " So like that, you both want see each other again."

"We'll still see but until then I have nothing to say to him and he call me if he wants to talk to me."

Stella sighed." You both are acting like children."

"No we aren't stella. We are being matured here."

"Being matured. How is that?."

"Seyi is engaged and i have Michael."

Stella laughed." What is going through your mind that is making you say this."

"I don't get. I thought you-"

"You thought I was trying to ship you two together." She laughed." I thought you both were friends."

"That's a lie stella." I chuckled.

"Oya prove I'm lying."

"It's written all over your face."

Stella chortled." Oya fine. Maybe I was trying to ship you too because I think you guys make the perfect match."

Perfect match.

"But he's -"

"I know, I know. He's engaged and you have Michael but try imaging you guys together in your head."

I shook my head." There's no point in doing that cause it would never happen."

But that didn't mean I had not imagined it severally.
