Kehinde who had become so dedicated to his profession as a Gynaecologist met so many women, both married and unmarried and attended to their health issues so humanely that women bec@mÂŁ so fond of him and were always looking out for opportunities to build a more inti-mate relationsh!pwith him. It was during one of such times that he met Toyosi, a beautiful young girl who just graduated from law school. She had visited the hospital to see the doctor as regards her menstrual disorder and Kehinde was the doctor who attended to her.
From the way he attended to her, coupled with the fact that he was handsome and seemingly generous, she developed instant attra-ction for him and began to build constant communication with him throu-gh calls and chats. Kehinde on his own p@rt liked visionary women and he saw one in Toyosi and as a result, he made himself accessible for her anytime she nee-ded to see or speak with him and from there they both bec@mÂŁ inseparable as they even go for jogging exercises together weekly .
“I like your spirit” he will always tell her whenever they were together on phone or in person discussing career matters.
đź‘‘
” I’ve found the woman to marry ” Kehinde told his parents in an unannounced visit and his mother jumped up in excitement and began to dance different dancing styles
đź‘‘
When the woman was done dancing, she sat down all smiles and the Oba (king) who was so impressed by his son’s re-adiness to settle down after years of begging him to get married and give them grand children.
“My son,” the oba called Kehinde smiling, then continued.
“I’m very happy that at last, you have finally found the woman after your heart who will also build the empire with you” he said and his shouted,
“Yes ooo. Oluwa ese oo” she exclaimed excitedly and her husband smiled before turning towards Kehinde again.
“Oma oba,” the oba called Kehinde who answered him warmly,holding his palms together as if he was struggling over something.
” You know you are my only son and also the heir apparent to the throne and you can’t afford to marry a woman who will bring problems and reproaches into your life and the kingdom at large,” the oba said and breathed down, then continued.
“Who is this lady that has won my son’s heart ? I mean where is she from and what information have you been able to gather about her lineage?” He asked looking very serious as he observed his son looking down and fidgeting. Kehinde that he knew was a fearless and a stubborn son except for the intervention of God who arrested him and he bec@m£ cool headed. He suddenly began to suspect that something was wrong as he and his wife exchanged glances. Kehinde suddenly looked up at them with a determined face and said,
“Ba mi , maami ” he called his parents in his Yoru-ba ton-gue, looked down and then felt obliged to make his parents proud. He made up his mind to mention Toyosi’s name to them, though he knew he was not yet inti-mate with her relationsh!pwise but he was very sure that she was crushing on him and would accept his marriage proposal without a second thought. His parents would be proud to hear that he was marrying a barrister from a well to do family and would also love her when they meet her because she was a beauty to behold.
Though he liked her for her smartness and visionary spirit, he didn’t have much attra-ction for her like he does for Sade. Secondly, he knew everything about Sade more than Toyosi who have been doing everything possible to plea-se him. Though Toyosi told him she was not in any relationsh!p, he had his doubts about her still and couldn’t go beyond normal friendsh!peven when she was trying everything possible to initiate a ro-mantic relationsh!pbetween them.
Her name is Sade…” He opened his mouth and mentioned Sade’s name before realizing that it wasn’t her name he wanted to mention. His heart began to beat fas-ter signalling trouble but de-ep within his heart, he had peace beyond description.
“She is from a small village called Igomu (not real name), in Ondo” he said and breathed down heavily as he watched his parent’s eyes fixed at him.
“She is not really from a wealthy family but her lineage has a good record..” He explained and watched his father nodded his head in response. He gathered boldness from within and re-leased the very words that have been troubling his mind.
” But, She… She’s a single mother” he said and fixed his eyes on them to face the outcome.
“Sorry?” The oba said trying to un-derstand what their son was talking about and his mother gave a disapproving scream.
“I mean she alre-ady has a child but it was a…” He was trying to explain but they both hushed him.
“St©p!!!” They both shouted in unison as if they planned it.
“Ah! Is this how you want to pay us back ? By bringing a leftover food into this honourable home? Kehinde do you even realize you are a royal seed?..” His mother began to quarrel, raising her voice then turned to face her husband who was not talking.
“Are you not going to say anything? Will you keep quiet and watch Kehinde bring in a loosed woman who will bring this family and the entire kingdom shame? She asked the oba in anger and but he was lost in thoughts and couldn’t answer her a word.
” Mammi, she wasn’t a loosed woman and she is not… ” Kehinde spoke up in defence but the his mother won’t allow him to speak further.
“Short your dirty mouth! Foolish boy!” His mother fired at him to his surprise because his mother has never spoke so harshly to him, not even when he was living a rou-gh life.
“Listen, I will never be a p@rt of that union. If you can’t find a virtuous woman to marry, tell me and I will find one for you from this kingdom. But if you insist on marrying that Sade of a woman, count me and your father out!” She said in finality and walked out leaving the Kehinde and his silent father.
“Baba mi, plea-se try and un-derstand me. This is the only woman after my heart, besides, she didn’t wasn’t a loosed woman that jumped from be-d to be-d, it was…” Kehinde drew closer to his father thinking he could get throu-gh with him but he didn’t want to hear him out.
“I’m so disappointed at you. This discussion is over, when you are re-ady to marry someone reasonable, come back. You may leave my pres£nce.” His father said in dismissal and looked away.
âś´âś´
Kehinde drove back to the city with sadness of heart and kept rejecting Toyosi’s calls all throu-gh that day. Toyosi bec@m£ restless and thought that he probably was in danger but didn’t know how else to reach him because Kehinde refused to disclose his house address to her. She called few people whom she felt could know his place, but they couldn’t help her with the house address.
Kehinde did not want to make his intention openly known to Sade until he settle with his parents and get their approval before proposing marriage to her.
His heart was troubled over his parent’s reaction, though he expected them to react,but not to the extent that his father who always long for his pres£nce would ask him to leave his pres£nce.
He nee-ded to speak with someone in order to relieve himself and possibly forget what happened between him and his parents and Sade c@m£ to mind. He dialled Sade’s number and expected it to be switched off because the last time he visited her, she complained that her phone had gone bad and he promised to get her a new phone in his next visit. His heart skipped as the thought of Olori Ade buying Sade a new phone flashed his mind and he prayed un-der his breath that she should pick her calls so he could confirm it.
“Hello brother Kehinde” Sade was heard at the other end.
“Hello sister Sade, how are you?” He said calmly and suddenly found himself smiling at the sound of her voice.
“Am fine sir, how are you doing?” She asked, and her little daughter Toyin c@m£ running from behind, shouting,
“Bother Kehinde! Bother Kehinde!” Toyin kept calling as she ran towards her mother to speak with him.
Kehinde bur-sted into laughter on hearing Toyin shouting his name and asked Sade to give her the phone, but before she could do that, Toyin had gr@bb£d the phone from her mother and had started talking ceaselessly to him without minding whether he was listening or not. Kehinde kept laughing as little Toyin kept giving him account of things he didn’t ask her.
“Olori bought new phone for iya mi o” Toyin informed Kehinde excitedly and Sade gr@bb£d the phone from her and gave her a ha-rd knock on the head. She fearfully placed the phone close to her left ear but Kehinde was silent.

“Hel..lo ,hello” she stammered over the phone but Kehinde refused to respond…
Kehinde dropped the phone and held his forehead which had started aching.
“What exactly is wrong with her? Why is Sade finding it so difficult to rise up after falling. Lord plea-se speak to her heart, revive her love and fear for you. Open her eyes to see and know that you’ve got better plans for her life and that her mess can be turned into a message that will mend and mould other broken young people.
Don’t let her fall the second time again lord, let your mighty strength and grace be made manifest in her weakness for it’s obvious her own strength can no longer carry her.
plea-se Lord, I can’t bear it if Sade sleep with that old man…” Kehinde prayed and suddenly bec@m£ too emotional as he couldn’t bear the thought of Olori Ade slee-ping with Sade. Tears dropped down his eyes immediately and he quic-kly wiped it off as a feeling of jealousy and anger sprang up in his heart when he remembered how bad he used to be before God arrested him.
His phone rang and he thought that Sade was the one calling back to explain things to him or better still tell him that Toyin was wrong, he picked up his phone with high expectations and was about sliding the green bu-tton aside when he found out that Toyosi was the one calling, he looked up at the wall clock and saw it was alre-ady past eleven pm and he bec@mÂŁ more angry.
“What exactly is wrong with Toyo, why is she calling me by this time of the night? plea-se I don’t nee-d any disturbance.” He soliloquise and switched off his phone, entered the bathroom and poured water on his head to calm before going to be-d. He rolled from one side of the be-d to the other unable to sleep as his mind kept wandering around from one thing to another and it continued till some minutes past one midnight. He decided to pray since sleep had deserted him also, climbe-d down from his bes a knelt down close his be-d and began to commit his parents hearts into God’s hands, but he didn’t pray about that for long as he switched over and began to pray for Sade.

The race started and the athletes who were about six girls took off, among them was Sade who was alre-ady taking the lead as she ran skillfully ahead of the other athletes and spectators were cheering her up to keep up the pace,so she ran with her head high but suddenly bec@mÂŁ distracted and missed her footings and fell headlong on the ground. The commentator cheered at her to rise and finish the race while the spectators expected her to rise and win the race because they so much believed she can still win regardless of her fall, but Sade remained on the ground crying and complaining.
“I can’t run to finish, I’ve missed the track and can’t find my footings anymore. Besides, I have disappointed everyone so there’s no point rising to make a fool of myself.” She gave reasons while the other athletes kept running, and they were only but two of them who had ran past her while others were still running towards the sp©t where she had fallen.
“Rise up! You are not off the track yet, you can still win the race!” A man urged her from the crowd but she broke down in tears and shouted back at the man
“I can’t rise, can’t you see am alre-ady exhausted?” She cried still sitting on the floor so the disappointed spectators bec@m£ angry and began to jeer at her as she cried. She cried the more as they taunted her with words then she woke up and found out that it was a dream. She looked around and saw her daughter slee-ping peacefully beside her,then murmured some words in her Yoru-ba dialect and sle-pt back.
âś´
“Sade! Sister Sade! Wake up I want to discuss something with you” the church mummy tapped Sade who was who was still feeling sleepy ,
“Open your eyes Sade and wake up from your slumber. You can’t keep slee-ping like this, your lantern will soon go off if you don’t wake up. I want to tell you a story about my life that is very familiar with yours …” The church mummy was still talking to her when Sade’s mother tapped her.
“Sade wake up! Wake up and get re-ady for today’s farm work. It’s getting late alre-ady” Sade’s mother woke her and in the process interrupted her dream.
“Oooooh! Maami you just interrupted my dream now.” Sade shouted in annoyance and her aged mother looked back at her with a mean face.
“Will you get up from that be-d? Do you think that you are in the city where you live your life lazily, sleep and wake up anytime you want and then go about misbehaving with young men?
Since you couldn’t keep your self in the city after all that your father and I did to train you throu-gh school, you better buckle up because you must sweat it out in the village. Even if Olori ends up marrying you, you must still join his wives to farm in his various large mas-ses of land. Get up Jaree!”
Her mother jeered at her as if they were quarrelling and Sade felt humiliated again. Since she joined her parents in the village,her mother suddenly changed and bec@m£ very used to taunting her with negative remarks each time she didn’t do what she likes.
She swallowed ha-rd and climbe-d down from the be-d, checked the time on her phone and it was ten minutes to 5am. She wiped off the tears dropping from her eyes with the back of her hands and picked up her tooth brush and paste to brush as her mother continued nagging at her.
🌟
All throu-gh the work on the farm, Sade kept ruminating over the dreams she had in the night but couldn’t make any meaning out of them. She wished her mother didn’t wake her up, so that she could at least hear the story the church mummy wanted to tell her.
She sighed sadly as she felt exhausted but couldn’t st©p the work in order to avoid another round of insult from her mother’s venomous ton-gue. She thought about her appointment with Olori Ade later in the day, and smiled to herself. She promised to sleep with him for the first time that very day and Olori had made arrangement for their meeting in a local village h0tel where the act would take place in the evening. She had a brief reflection over whom she used to be before Kolade c@m£ into her life, a firebr@nd for God who loved and reverenced God with her b©dy.
“All that are in the past now. I just have to survive anyway anyhow” she said silently and waved the thought aside as she waited anxiously for the evening with Olori to taste what real S-x feel like…
🌠🌠🌠🌠đźŚ
Kehinde woke up by few minutes past five in the morning to find out that he was slee-ping on the floor in his room and not on the be-d,then he remembered that he was actually praying on his knees but when his knees began to ache, he l@ydown on his tummy and continued his prayers then probably dozed off from there. He ru-bbe-d his eyes and felt a sharp piercing head ache indicating that he didn’t sleep very well in the night, but he managed and got up to his study table for his devotion.
â–¶
A thought dropped in Kehinde’s mind when he was less busy at the office and he was meditating over it when Toyosi knocked and walked into his office. He wasn’t surprised that the health as-sistants allowed her in because he was the one who gave them the instruction to allow her in whenever she wanted to see him. She observed his face as she entered and suspected that he was probably going throu-gh some emotional stress.
“Welcome Toyo” he managed to say as he tried to f0rç£ out a smile, though he wasn’t happy that she c@m£ in when an important matter that demanded urgent attention was rising in his mind.
“Kenny I’ve been calling you, all throu-gh yesterday I was worried sick because I thought you were in trouble. Why didn’t you pick your call or even returned my calls?” She asked pointing at his phone which was on the table. He scratched his head r0ûghly and searched for the right words to calm her with. He wasn’t in the mood to talk to her, but it wasn’t in his nature to hurt people who care about him, and women are the last set of people he would hurt.
“By all means, treat women with love and care.They nee-ds it more than any other creatures God created.” He always tell himself when dealing with both married and unmarried women.
“Toyo plea-se sit down first,” he said still scratching his head. She swallowed ha-rd and sat down trying ha-rd to hide her anger.
“maybe I should just let her know I have no feelings for her. No, that would be too harsh.” He thought within him, then looked up at her.
“Toyo dear, am so sorry I didn’t pick nor returned your calls yesterday. My relationsh!pis going throu-gh some troubles and am not really in the right frame of mind to talk to anyone.
I just nee-ded some solitude to think right and sought things out with my woman..” He began to express himself as if he was alre-ady in a relationsh!pin order to discourage her from pushing further on whatever she might be thinking in terms of building a relationsh!pwith him but st©pped when he saw her cheeks fall like a park of cards.
“Toyo plea-se I nee-d your prayers, I love my woman so much I don’t want anything to happen to my relationsh!p..” he said cunningly and placed his head on his office desk as if he was crying and it got Toyosi more jealous.
“Do you nee-d my help in any way?” She said with a soft tone, trying to feign concern.
“I just nee-d your prayers, pray for my relationsh!p” he said, ru-bbing his palms as he lifted his head and avoided her eyes because he wouldn’t want to see her hurt.
“You can now bring me the folders” he made a fake call in order to dismiss her.
“Toyo, let me quic-kly attend to some patients’ folders. I will call you later in the evening, I promise. ” he said and she un-derstood that he wanted her to leave. She stood up in anger and walked out of his office without a word and he breathed down a heavy sigh of relief.
