On getting home, his mum followed him immediately to his room.

‘’Won’t you even allow me to change mum’’ asked alex.

‘’You can change in front of me’’ said is mum and both smiled. He loves is mum more than his dad, he and his dad don’t get along that much.

‘’You know that husband of yours is too strict, always want everything to be done in his own ways and also loves having his ways at all times’’ said alex facing his mum.

‘’That is why I love him’’ replied tonia smiling at his son. ‘’Let me tell you a short story; you remembered I told you I met your father in U.S when he came for further studies’’ asked tonia and alex nodded his head in response.

‘’Beginning from the first day we met, he told me about adetutu. When he and adetutu were in the university, your dad had a serious accident on a bike in which he broke his is left leg and left hand and sustained some serious injury in other part of his body. He told me, few of his family members came to check on him but none stayed for up to three hours. Even is dad came twice just to give him money and he never stayed for up to an hour. He claimed he had meetings to attend to and you do know he lost his mum the day he was born. He told me it was only adetutu that stayed with him in the hospital. Even when lectures and exams were going on in school, he never left him alone. When he recovered, he was given a makeup exam in school and adetutu had an extra semester in school. Ever since that day, he promised never to leave him and never to allow anything to come in between both of them. His story melted my heart, since then I hold adetutu in high esteem and I and ife became best of friend when we saw the love that existed between our husbands.

When you were a year and five month, ife discovered she was pregnant with adeola. To end my story, the day, adeola was born, ife told me in the hospital, that she knows she won’t be around to see adeola grow into a wmoman. She made me promise her to take care of adeola and love her like my own daughter and have kept to this promise.

‘’Alex I know you and I also know adeola because you both are my son and daughter and I will never misled you. I am convinced that if you marry her, your marriage will work and love, joy, peace, happiness, babies and other good things of marriage will abound’’.

‘’ I don’t need you to say anything now, but I will be happy if you can think this through and give me your respond when you are done’’ said tonia.

She stood up from the bed and made for the door; as she opened the door, she turned back and said ‘’come to think of it, all those stares and looks you occasionally give her hmmmmm, one will think you are falling for her already, hmmm I guess a motherly thought……
