ONE YEAR LATER
It's been a year now since I had gotten back to lagos, father and mother seemed to be even more closer now and we might be having a wedding soon. Karina travelled out for her master a month after her graduation with a scholarship to the united states. I am working in one of the best hospitals in the country and I absolutely love my job. I and Ridwan are still always in contact and he had invited me out on a date tonight. I was also starting to think about moving back to Abuja and so we can start our session with the marriage counsellor.
I recieved monthly updates from his therapist about how he is doing and he is doing pretty well and might even end therapy soon. I was happy for Him, for US.
I searched through my wardrobe for the best cloth in it. I was excited to see him. The last time we had seen was three months ago when he came to lagos on a business trip and had stopped by the house.
"I see someone is excited about this date" mother said after walking into my room.
"Mother, I am just my normal happy self"
"I know you so well Teslimah and this is you overly excited. It's okay to be, it's still evident you love him alot anyways" mother said.
"I am just really excited to see him, it's been a while" I said.
"I understand" mother said
"I am thinking of moving back to abuja too" I said
"About time already" mother said smiling.
"Are you kicking me out of the house" I said and we both laughed.
"I would greatly miss you and you know but I guess it's about time you stop being scared of what could be and live. You both love each other a lot and Ridwan has proved himself worth for a second chance so why wait" mother said.
"I guess so and what the deal with you and father by the way. He comes here every day now" I teased
"We don't know but things might just happen soon"
"Like a wedding right" I said excitedly "something like that" mother said blushing
"It better be" I said and we laughed.
I got to the restaurant and sighted Ridan from afar. He looked as handsome and ever and suddenly I felt butterflies in my stomach like the very first date we had and at that moment I decide it really was time to move back home.
"Hey, you look beautiful as always" Ridwan said after he helped me with the chair to sit.
"Thank you" I said sitting down.
"You look great too"I said
"Thank you"
"My therapy is ending soon by the way" Ridwan informed.
"Yeah, I was informed" I said.
