“What?! Excuse me.”

“Your birthday gift is right here in Abuja.”
“Sinister,” she narrowed her gaze.

“Not quite.”

“Wicked.”

“Wicked is good.”

“Since when?” she made her way out of the building.

“When you come to Abuja, you will get your gift.”

“Send it.”
“No way.”
“Suit yourself.”
“How is my girl?”
She sighed loudly, “Can’t wait to move out of that house.”

“I feel you.”

She boarded one of the cabs heading to the campus gate.

“I saw your sisters’ birthday pictures online.”

“Hmm…”
“You share the same birth month.”

“Oh… November children.”

She chuckled and alighted from the cab.

“My birthday is three days before Christmas.”

“Eeeh!”

“I am a young…”

“Let me call you back,” she saw a black Range Rover jeep parked at the hostel gate. It belonged to her father.
