I turned back to look at the woman and said sorry did you just called my, “ tunji its me joy, unilorin, oke –odo remember? ” she cuts in.”oh my God I can’t believe it’s you joy “  she smiled and said yes  its me o,its just sad we have to meet again like this” common forget it jare,that one done pass,” omo you done change o” was the next thing  I said. “Yes o”  you too but I was still able to recognize you sha. Wow its nice seeing you again o, she said” I really appreciate your help  today am really greatful “, “oh joy please stop saying that now” I have a restaurant on the next street although I can see you are just coming from work but how be glad if you at least go with me so I can fix you something to eat, or madam is waiting at home, she teased “ I smiled back and said” madam ke “  I never get madam o. ok that leave you with no excuse than to go with me now.i smiled and said ok “  ok no problem”  . Now at the restaurant with a plate of rice and plantain with chicken lap” it’s my favorite I said to her, am not surprised sha most people have rice as their favorite she said from across the table were she is sited, so hope you are keeping in touch with your friends back then in school I said, no not really just a few of them , like ope you remember her ? absent mindedly I said yes because I was still enjoying the food, I was at her wedding last year ,men that girls father  is loaded o.if you see her wedding ehn,” wait ,wait first you know  opeyemi ?,  na wa for you  o so you have forgotten so fast , have you forgotten that she was once my roommate at the school hostel, since then we have been good friends, I pretended not to know anytin so I could get more gist from her so I said “ I heard she now has a son self”  “oh Benjamin, she had him while in school, then I said  “are you serious?”  then she said “ she got pregnant  and had to leave school when she became very sick, she never came back till we graduated although she later went back to complete her program after we left” heya “ so who was the guy she got pregnant for ?  “I don’t know o she said she got raped by a guy”. I opened my mouth and couldn’t close it .i was so lost in thought that  I didn’t hear everything she said after that “ ehn ehn I knew it! no wonder she’s so mad at me , no wonder she threatened or she’s dealing  with me, Oh my God so Benjamin is my son” a tap on my plate brought me back to reality “is anything wrong tunji  look you have spilled the drink on your suit” “ oh ehm am ok dear just that when I eat too much rice I usually have this  stomach upset” haaa pele dear  she said. You know what joy I really appreciate the food am very greatful I gave her  my phone so she could input her phone number ,  then she said “ I should be thanking you instead for saving me today” . you know what I have to rush home now I have am important meeting to attend tomorrow morning and I have to prepare for it, don’t worry i will give you a call , she said ok and hugged me as I stood up to leave. Lying on my bed now, I  started thinking of how my life became like this , I know  have done some things in the past but I didn’t expect them to be getting back at me this way.i thought about how I started from primary to secondary school and then to university , I could still remember  the day of the party , how I was so happy about the party hours before it started not knowing  that it was going to be a defining moment in my life, then I slept off thinking about what happened that night at the party.

 The next morning I was feeling better,” no way! am not going to quit now “ I thought to myself not now that I have a chance to get back at her  but most importantly now that I know there is a son between us. first of all I have to get her attention, I need to get her  interested in what I have to say ,I thought of it for a while then came up with a plan . 

at lunch that day I went to my boss office , I knocked on the door and he said “come in” as I enterd into the office I said “ oga ekasan sir” then he smiled at me and replied “ ha tunji bawoni”  then I said fine, so this one you came to my office today hope no problem because I know you must be angry with my wife so I thought  you were angry with me too. I smiled at him and said no sir its not like that sir, I just don’t want to be visiting here so often so that I wouldn’t be told that am neglecting my job downstairs again sir .he looked at me and I said I understand, have missed you around here too , my first few weeks alone was stressful ,it was hard planning  all my schedule and working on this files at the same time but have adjusted now sha.” heya   e pele sir” was my response , then it was just like he was reading my mind , like he knew I was in his office to in order to lay my hand on his phone, he said “ ehn ehn tunji have been having problem with this new android phone I just bought o, it uses  two sims but am only seeing the contacts on one , the other doesn’t display contacts, I asked him to bring the phone so I could fix it for him .luckily for me it was something easy , so I change the settings and the two contacts are now been displayed,  after setting the contacts I then scrolled all the names on it looking for his wifes number , it was easy to locate because he stored it with “sweetheart” I memorized the number then handed the phone back to him, he was very happy and thanked me well, I  brought out my phone then added  the number  to  contact, I stood up and told him that am leaving he said ok and thanked me again, I left the office feeling fulfill. 

The next day at work I picked up my phone and wrote a text message that reads “ I WANT TO  MEET MY SON  AGAIN ”  then sent it to opeyemi’s number. About  15minutes later a call came through to the intercom in our office , both john and I shear one intercom but its closer to johns table than mine so he picked it, seconds later he said its for you tunji , I smiled and took the phone from him , then I said hello  “ I want you in my office right now was all she said” I knew whose voice was that so I adjusted my shirt then went to her office.
