I could hear a sigh on the other line. " Fine. But I warned you.whose the name of the woman. Let me see if I can do anything about her?."

"Her name is Osas and don't worry, I have her covered."

"What exactly are you planning to do with her?."

"Don't bother. Just concentrate on your plan and I'll on my own." I disconnected the call.

It's on Osas. Let's see who gets the man.

Osas p.o.v

By six, I and Boma were waiting for Michael.

"Hey big guy." Micheal said to Boma as we both entered into the car.

"You look lovely." He complimented.

I had worn a simple cobalt blue Drees.

"Thanks. How was work?."

"A lot stressful. Had to do some checkups and coding for an up coming app."

And he told me about the App.

An hour later we were at-

My restaurant!!.

"I didn't think you would take us here." I said staring at him.

He had a smile on his face. "Exactly."

"It's Aunty Osas restaurant." Boma said.

"Yeah."

The waiter treated me like a customer. He acted like he didn't know me.

What is going on ?.

As we got the upper roof a man bumped into Micheal and mumbled and apology.

As we got to our table, it was in a far side corner and rose petals were sprinkled on the floor.

"It's cute." Boma said settling into one of the seats.

I could feel a wave of panic coming.

"What's all this about?." I asked.

He still had a smile on his face."making up for last time we went on a date." He waved his hand for a waiter

This was more than making up !!!.

"Good evening." I glanced up.

It was head chef. He face was blank with any reason for what was going on.

"Just want to welcome you all to...... And I hope you have a lovely evening." He waved for a waitress who took our order.

"Why are they acting like they don't know you ?." Boma asked.

You can ask that again.

"That's because I told them to do so. I wanted Osas to realise how amazing her restaurant is to customers and how amazing her work is."

An hour later. We were done with our food and rounding up on desert.

"I have something to say ." Micheal nodded to someone and a soft music began to play.

He got on his knees.

Oh No!.

I could feel various stares boring at us.

"Osas. I know we just started dating and it's to sudden but I see no reason why I should wait any longer..." He dipped his hands into his pocket. His smile freezes as he frowned.

He began to frisk his pocket furiously. " The ring is gone." He mummered.

Somehow I felt relief.

He was still frowning as he continued. "The ring is missing. I probably left it in the car but still.. Osas will you ma-"

"Excuse me sir." A waiter broke in.

"What!." Micheal snapped.

"Micheal?." I said with shock.

His frown lessened." Sorry. I just.. what do you want to say?" he asked the waiter.

I could feel the irritation in his tone coarse through me.

"You car. The windows are shattered. One of the customers noticed and he informed us."

"My car!." Micheal was up on his feet.

"We have to go Boma." I carried my purse and  held Boma's hand as we headed to the parking lot.

How could there be a robbery at my restaurant. This will serve as a bad review.

The only good thing that came from it was that I was able to avoid his question.

I wasn't ready for marriage and what was up with him?.

He had told me a night ago that when I was ready for love I should do it at my own time. Now his asking me to marry him.

The car was a lot worse than I expected.

All the windows were broken. The tyres were punctured. It looked like somethings were stolen.

But why was it only his car that got affected.

"Was it a robbery ?." Boma asked Micheal.

"I don't know. Probably." He was ringing someone on his phone

"How are we going to go home ?." Boma asked.

"Can you just keep shut for a minute!." Micheal snapped.

Boma held my hand tightly as he moved back slowly.

"Don't you dare snap at Boma" I fired back.

"Well the boy should stop asking  dumb questions ! " He retorted.

"His a little child. Of course he will ask questions. Vent up all your frustration at me if you have too but not on Boma."

I carried Boma who had tears rolling down his face." Let's go."

"Where are you going to?."

"Home Micheal. We are using the official car. You can join if you want." I walked away not waiting for a reply.

He did not join.

As the driver drove us home,Boma was fast asleep on my laps and I replayed what just happened over again in my head.

My phone vibrated and I picked it up. A text message from an unknown number.

I clicked on it.

If you care about your life and your family especially that little boy with you stay away from Seyi Oyefeso. This is just a piece of  an iceberg.

Who could this be !!.

Fear and worry gripped me. It couldn't be Zina.

She's in Abuja with Seyi so there's no way she would know I was with Boma and what happened.

Michael can't possibly do this.

I stared at the sleeping child on my laps.

I have to do what they say.
