Bab 2: Chapter Two- Sweet And Teary Memories
Nife's POV
I spent the rest of the day with my two friends Ada and Collins having random gist and business talk. I drove down home to the three-bedroom apartment I was living in with my mum and…
Did I mention I have a son, my sunshine, one of the reasons l have been holding on all this while?
So, I drive home after I call it a day with my friends. I kept on asking myself if this was really what I wanted. How sure am I that I am making the right decision?
"Hmmm,"
I sigh inwardly and drive into the estate skillfully. "Welcome Miss Benson," l can hear the security man greeting, his voice filled with so much admiration.
My mind was not there anyway, so I drove straight to my apartment.
…..
"Mum!!"
My Son's lovely voice rings throughout the hallway the moment I step into the apartment and close the door behind me. I can not explain the joy and peace that filled my heart at that moment,
My smile widens more, seeing him running towards me in his sweet pajamas with his arms spread wide. I bent my knee a little and grabbed him into a warm hug.
"Mum, Xander baby misses you…" he said and kissed my face. My smile broadens more.
"Really?" I ask, pretending to be curious. He nods his head repeatedly, his chubby face shining under the colorful light.
"Yes, I do Mum, or does it mean Mummy does not miss me?" He asks me with his cute little voice.
I can't help but feel a certain emotion. He can't stop being cute.
"Say's who?? Mummy misses Xander, baby, more…" I replied making my voice sound cute. I kissed his face a million times. He giggles in my arms.
I carried him and stepped inside.
"You are spoiling him too much…" my mother reprimands as she steps out of the sitting room. I shook my head in disagreement. "Nothing like that Mum," I countered, refusing to believe a word she said.
No amount of love l shower my son is too much.
"Mum, Big Mummy, made my diet today!" My son excitedly said, I glanced at my mother who was smiling at my son's cuteness.
"Wow, did you thank her?"
I ask him. He looks at my mum and smiles.
"Yes, I did…"
"You Little one, allow your mother to rest first!" My mother started her African mother-style caution, making my son frown.
I chuckle at that. "Mummy… Am l disturbing you?" He asked me in his little cute voice. I just feel like laughing out loud at his cuteness.
"Not at all, Xander baby, but your Mummy got to freshen up first, okay,"
I explained and made him understand. He nods and smiles cutely, making his cheeks glow.
"Sure, Mummy, needs to freshen up," he said and moved to get down from me. I gingerly drop him to the floor.
"Ok, sweetie, mummy will join you later for dinner," I reminded him.
He jumps up with his two short legs in excitement and runs back inside the sitting room, probably to continue his thing. I shook my head,
"You better go and freshen up, before you can turn into your son's playmate…" my mother's voice reminded me she was still standing there,
"Mum…"
I called her lovingly.
"Don't Mum… me" she reprimands again, I smile and hug her side and kiss her cheeks.
"Thanks for taking care of him, Mum," I thanked her. She looked at me meaningfully.
"You don't have to, he's my grandson, oya go in oso… oso…" she concluded.
I could not help but laugh and climb upstairs to my room.
…..
I tucked my son in for the night after I joined them for dinner and made some chit-chat. I decided to relax a bit in the sitting room. I took a seat on the sofa, grabbed the remote from the armchair and patiently browsed through the channels.
[Beep beep]
I glance at my iPhone hearing the notification sound. I slide the screen with my thumb.
["Don't forget to update me on your decision about the get-together"]
Ada's message pops up, reminding me of our earlier conversation. A frown appears on my face and disappears immediately. I sigh tiredly as well and my mind travels down the trail of hurtful and sweet memories. My days of sweet tears and pains.
"Nife…"
I heard my name coming out from his deep, husky, and sexy voice. That's how much l remember it to be. The gentleness and warmness of his call.
"Haba, shuu… this girl don dey miss road ooo…" he will tease me and the rest will laugh like there is no return.
"DD Your charms don get am be that…" Deji, one of my friends' group in college, will add to fuel the conversation, making everyone laugh hard…
"What Yeye Charm?? Abeg if you no get talk, shut your toilet…" I will rebuke him with a deep frown. Others will laugh and make silly gestures.
"Eeh… una see wetin l dey talk… this girl, get mouth to insult me now, if for Dd's…" Deji continues to fuel the conversation.
"Deji, You are just looking for palaba, guys make una help me tell this guy if na craze dey worry am, Ada, get psychiatrist hospital for their hometown."
I said without biting my words.
Everyone burst into a very loud laugh including me. Deji frowned and started pointing at everyone in the picture.
"Shee una dey enjoy this baa??" He said annoyingly and threw the folded paper in his hands on me, which l dodged skillfully.
He slaps the tick ledger in his hands on Dd's head, who is sitting next to him.
The whole classroom was filled with laughter as we were the only ones left while other students had left the classroom only a few countable students were around.
I don't know how much time has passed. Since I was stuck in my memory train.
"Nife… Nife!!"
