Aunty, why na? Like seriously, I never saw things from that angle. At least, not yet.
That part came up because I wanted to show you another side of Taiwo. Simple!
Serena won't follow her mum's footsteps overnight and the story won't run forever. So, u can rule that out.

Where on the surface of the earth did they get the car they drove home from the airport. You explained that they had to board several (two) busses before getting there. They car the car for head?



And Do we still have dumb girls like Serena? A part of her wants to give him a quick yes? (as in no thinking? No weighing out your options?) oga, the gal dumb jor.


Another side of Taiwo? I hope you ain't planning any magomago o. If this "other side of Taiwo" doesn't justify the Taiwo we know. The Ninty seven, we go fight o.

I think you missed something. When Mr Thomas left home, he left with a car wich was parked at d airport.
Which is the Taiwo you know?

__________________________________________

Serena followed the address given to her by Dave and she got to the supposed estate where Taiwo lived with her family. Once her bike stopped at the estate gate, since bikes are not allowed into the estate, she paid the bikeman and approached the security post. She stated her mission, her final destination and when the security men are conviced that she posed no threat, after conduction a thorough search, she was allowed into the estate, with a paper map leading to different houses plus the names of the families occupying each house.
"Thanks." She said as she walked down the tarred road towards the Akinyemi residence.
Five minutes later, she stopped at the gate numbered 106 and pressed the bell.
"Am coming." A female voice said to her through the speakerphone and a minute later, she heard hurried footsteps approaching the gate.
"Good afternoon." Serena greeted the young lady standing in front her. To say she was ugly would be a total disrespect to ugliness and the ugly, awful was the right words.
"How may I help you?" She asked.
"My name is Serena and I suppose this is the Akinyemi residence. I am Taiwo's friend." Serena replied.
"Where are you from?" The lady asked.
Serena wanted to say the planet Mars, but the thought of being denied entry by this obnoxious and annoying lady who seemed to develop hatred for her because she was good looking made her answer politely.
"I am Taiwo's friend." Serena repeated.
"What if you are not?" She asked.
"Are you saying I am lying to be someone I am not?" Serena asked a little bit offended. "Why not invite Taiwo and let her confirm if she is my friend or not." This was not going as planned. Serena's plan was to shock Taiwo by meeting her at the front door or already seated in the living room.
"Come in. The sun is too much." The lady said.
Afterall, she has her good side too. "Thanks." Serena said as she stepped into the compound inside which a massive duplex stood with nothing disturbing it.
The vast compound alone looked beautiful and habitable enough, such that she wouldn't mind passing the night in there, so far there won't be rain overnight. The garage was locked and Serena could swear with all she had that the locked garage is housing two cars, probably new cars, while three cars were parked inside the compound. She recognized the Mercedez benz G-wagon which she had seen Taiwo's father drive when she sat her UTME weeks ago. That gave her the conviction that she was in the right house.
Minutes later, a casually dressed Taiwo walked out of the house with an angry stare.
"Hi." Serena greeted once she stopped in front of her.
"You can go." Taiwo said to the ugly lady who nodded curtly and excused herself.
She stared at Serena for close to a minute without saying a word. Serena tried to lighten the tension by smiling, but it seemed Taiwo was ready for her.
"Why are you looking at me like that nau?" Serena asked jokingly.
"Shut up and come with me." Taiwo muttered, took hold of her left hand, as she dragged her towards the house.
Serena wanted to have a look of the compound as she walked into the house, but Taiwo gave her no chance as she dragged her, such that Serena almost fell at a point.
Once they were inside the house, Serena couldn't shut her mouth as Taiwo dragged her accross a place she called, the visitor's room, to say the interior decor of the house was beautiful was and understatement.
"Welcome to my room." Taiwo said as she shut the door into a room which is almost twice the size of Serena's room at home.
"What should I offer you?" Taiwo asked.
"I am okay for now."
"For where? You can't be okay. In short, you are not okay. Be right back abeg!" With this, Taiwo zoomed out of the room excitedly.
She returned minutes later with a one litre pack of fruit juice and a glass cup, a disposable plate sat beside the fruit juice pack on a flat tray.
"Here, they are yours." She said as she dropped the tray on a stool.
A minute into her drink.
"Am sorry for the other day." Serena said?"
Taiwo laughed. "I am over it already. I just want you to apologise, that explains my reason for not chatting you up or calling."
If there was a thing she loved about Taiwo, it was her bluntness. She was someone who dwells not much in the past, and she doesn't ask too many questions.
"But seriously, you are a big girl o. The things in your room alone is more expensive than the things in my house." Serena said.
"Seriously, you are crazier than I ever thought you to be." Taiwo said playfully.
"But, how do you manage? I mean, with all these things and one could hardly tell if you are rich." Serena asked.
"Na God." Taiwo replied.

__________________________________________

"You must be high on mango leaves, you are thinking of going over to see Jake. Are you okay at all?" Taiwo asked when Serena was done with her story.
"Taiwo, I am fine. He is still my friend and I can go to see him anytime." Serena replied.
"I can see you are sick in the skull. He is still your friend, after all he did to you? Is that what friendship is all about? Are friends not supposed to love one another? Did he love you at all? No strings attached, did he love you?" Taiwo asked angrily.
"Taiwo, you can't understand."
"Of course, I do. He has been ur dream man since like forever. Your shining amour, isn't it? You obviously was in love with him and you still are, but the boy felt nothing for you. He realised your gullibility a long time ago, and decided to play with your emotion. He has been in love with that witch, Steph, but decided to pay with your head small." Taiwo ranted.
"Seriously, Tee, I don't know why you are taking this personal. Afterall, its me, and seeing him doesn't change anything." Serena replied.
"Serena, believe me, I will continue to take this personal until you grow up. Maybe you don't know, your brother and my sister are billed to get married, which automatically makes you my in law, their union makes us one family and anything that goes wrong with you goes wrong with me too." She paused and gave her friend a long look.
"I understand you perfectly. Jake is dating Steph and they are obviously in love, nothing can change that. He invited me just to talk.."
"Talk about what?" Taiwo cuts in angrily.
Serena opened her mouth, but no words came out.
"Look here, he has nothing to talk about. It is one of their usual tricks. Is he not a guy? He will probably apologise to get back into your heart and probably make you a side chick, remember that you are on probation with your dad, and him seeing you with Jake who already made him believe you are forcing yourself on him will only disappoint your dad more. Serena, come on think! Grow up!" Taiwo explained shaking her friend vigorously.
Serena kept quiet and though over her friend's word for sometime.
"And I must confess, you dad is a very gentle man. If it were to be my dad, despite the fact that he doesn't care about us, if he should see a guy with you, he could kill you, now think about his reaction if he realised that any of his daughters is forcing herself on a man. You can ask Bro Dave how he felt the first time he met my dad. You need to feel the tension before my dad shook hands with him and accepted him. Thats for my big sister who is not a kid, now think about me, a small girl." Taiwo explained further. "If you check my contact, you can't find a single male name on it. If my dad should see Emmanuel on my phone, I must call that Emmanuel and if God want to punish me, the Emmanuel should just jokingly say 'hello dear' at pick up. Then I am in for it. Serena, you don't need this now. I understand our different upbringing, but, even if you have a guy you love, you should put him down below your list of priorities, you still have a long way to go." Taiwo explained.
Serena was hugely impressed with Taiwo's brilliance and fluency. Even though all that she said were not new things. She herself knew that going into a serious relationship could mean doom, but there is something like situations that we couldn't help and before you knew it, you are deep inside it.
"And if you don't mind, we can play with Jake's head." Taiwo said with a smile.
"How?" Serena asked.
"Are you in or not?"
"Of course, I am." Serena replied.
"Good. Pick up your phone now and send Jake your reply. Tell him to meet you at Mr Biggs at Idi ape. That should be about a thirty minutes drive from here. Let him spend two or more hours there, after which you'll tell him something came up and you couldn't come again." Taiwo explained like a movie director who has a movie script already mastered.
"Taiwo." Serena drawled.
"Just do it. He must cry too." Her friend replied. "Wait for the next line of action from me. I'll be back, lemme go take my bath."
"You mean, you haven't taken your bath today? 11am?" Serena asked, shock written all over her face.
"What's so spectacular about that? I am in my father's house, no Jake to impress, no Obi to look good to." She said mocking as she picked her towel and walked towards her bathroom.
