CHAPTER 16
I went down stairs to make breakfast.
"Good morning ma" Ayo said as she walked up to me from her room.
"How are you this morning dear" I asked with a smile as I walked into the kitchen.
"Very well thank you" Ayo responded
"You seem very excited this morning ma, I haven't seen you like this in a while" Ayo said and I just
looked in her direction with a smile.
"I am just really happy today" I said
"So, we are making Jollof rice this morning, can you please help me bring the rice out from under
there" I requested.
"Here ma" Ayo said handing it over to me.
I poured the rice in a bowl and as I was about to rinse it, I looked in Ayo's direction and realized she
wasn't really looking as jovial as she always did.
"Is something the matter" I asked
"I want to talk to you about something that's it" she responded.
"Okay, I am all ears" I said
"Our exam form came out last week and i just wanted to let you know that registration has started" She
said in a rather low tone.
"Is that it, I was the one who told you to inform me anytime it is out, you should have come up to me
since" I said
"You haven't really been available that's why" She explained
"So, I will give you the money today, remind me once I am done cooking and then we will sort it all out"
I informed.
"Thank you very much ma" Ayo said with a smile.
"There is no need to thank me really" I said.
"And I will be doing the cooking so just go to your room and read for your upcoming exam. Alright" This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Thank you ma" Ayo said and she walked out to her room. She was such a lovely girl to be around and
she reminded me so much of my self as a young teenager.
As I was cutting the onions, I felt a hand behind wrap around my waist and as I looked over my
shoulder I realized it was Ridwan. I smiled and he turned me around as I dropped the knife in my hand.
His hands were still around my waist as he pulled me closer to him. I wrapped my hands around his
neck as I gently played with his hair. He kissed me on the lips while I just smiled thinking about how
much I missed us like this.
"So, is there no work today" I asked curiously.
"Do you want me to go" he said with a smirk
"Of course not, I miss you so much, you do so much work these days." I said
"I decided to spend the day all alone with my favourite person in the world. So today is my day off"
Ridwan said and I just smiled.
"That's good cause I have missed my husband so much" I said leaning in for another kiss.
"I miss you so much to" Ridwan said as he kissed my forehead.
"I will soon be done with the food, I just need a few minutes more" I said
"Anything I can help with" Ridwan asked.
"At all, There is nothing I can't handle alone" I said.
Ridwan let go of his hands on my waist as I then continued to cook.
