EPISODE THIRTY TWOTheme: You can’t hide foreverArike’s POV“Busayomi needs you more than ever now.” I nodded in agreement. “And it means you have to travel to Nigeria.”“Yes ma, but she wants Iteoluwa to be her little bride.”“Oh that’s nice.”“But mommy..do you think it’s a good idea to bring iteoluwa to Nigeria?” I asked.“Why is it not a good idea? Oh because of Dayo?” She laughed.“Yes what if we run into him?” I asked,panic almost rising within me.“And so? Is he not the father of your child?” She snorted.Why is she acting like she doesn’t know the consequences of Dayo finding out about his child.“So you think Iteoluwa will let us rest if she doesn’t see her mom? Or you have forgotten the last time you traveled to Connecticut for a week,you need to see the way your daughter was d

EPISODE THIRTY FOURTheme: Thinking about himARIKE’S POV“Well I hope so too." I heaved a sigh."Come on, I know what you are thinking." She said as our gaze locked. "It's about Dayo right?" She added."I don't even know what to think," I said sincerely."You don't need to worry -""I am just worried about Iteoluwa." I sighed.Even though I had decided to face whatever will happen during my stay here,I am still worried about my child. I don't want her to blame me or see me as a bad mother. I don't think I will be able to take it if my child decided to hate me for keeping her away from her father."Don't think too much about it. And even if he finds out about her,I am sure he will understand your reasons." "You think so?""I know so."  She responded."I can thank you enough for ever

One of the things to prove that she was his child but I didn’t want to think about it right now.“Arike-“ Busayomi stopped halfway when she saw my position.I stood up and faced her. “I was just singing to her.” I said.“Oh! It’s alright.” She shook her head.“Why did you tell me your mom and Mr Paul were at your place?” I ask

EPISODE THIRTY EIGHTTheme: Nosy woman    ARIKE’S POV“Our wife! Our wife!” A lady in her fourties walked into the room.It wasn’t hard to tell that she was Mrs Chidinma, the one Busayomi had given me a full gist on.“Good afternoon ma.” Busayomi greeted.A phone beeped. “Sorry it is mine...oh It is Temitope.” Omolade said.“I hope nothing is wrong.” Busayomi huffed.“I will just go out and talk to her.” Omolade moved out of the room.“Wow! Your dress is beautiful. I hope you like it?” Mrs Chidinma asked.“Oh yes ma and I really appreciate your help.” Busayomi answered.Mrs Chidinma looked at me. “Oh,she is my sister.” Busayomi said.“I am Arike, and this is my daughter, Iteoluwa.” I did a brief introduction.“Oh..I must say you have a beautiful daughter.”

EPISODE FOURTYTheme: Lost but found           Arike’s POVMy eyes scanned the area and panic set in about two minutes after realizing that my daughter was gone. At first, I told myself that it was no big deal. Iteoluwa was probably over in the children book section checking to see if there would be an interesting princess book or if Barbie collection has been updated.When I got to the book aisle, she wasn’t there so once again I thought she would have wandered to the teddy bear collections. Iteoluwa was a sucker for teddy bears. And when she wasn’t there either, I became concerned.My heartbeat accelerated but I told myself to calm down and not overreact. But I couldn’t calm down, the shoprite mall was big with lot of people in it so I was scared even though I had warned her to never talk to strangers to and stay in one
