Episode 21

“If possible we will like the registry and traditional marriage to be fixed before the New Year.”

The elderly couple exchanged glances. There was a moment silence. Everyone looked at them in anticipation.

“Very well,” Ajibade directed his satisfactory gaze at them, “If it is what you want.”

Foluke jumped up and flew into his arms, “Thanks daddy.”
“Anything for my baby.”
The young man got to his feet, “We have an appointment with the Event Planner this morning.”

“Yes, we do,” she released her father and helped him to his feet.

“Hope you will visit before you leave for the U.K?” Ajibade beamed.

He nodded, “I will definitely visit,” he held his fiancee by the waist.

“It is a good thing that you will be completing your service year before the wedding,” Jibike grinned at her eldest daughter and got up.

Foluke smiled back at her.

Funmike backed away from the doorway, turned and walked towards her bedroom. She was very happy for her elder sister.

“Funmike…”

She halted at the sound of her name.
