    Yesterday was a day Tunji can hardly forget. The scenarios weren't just fathomable. To his Mom, she was surprised at the kind of guy Tunji was becoming. It was a brighter morning; The road was somehow busy with sounds of vehicles and motorcycles. The hawkers are not left behind too, with their sweet voices, *o lo gi de oo* and so on... Tunji woke up as early as possible. He can't just stop thinking about the pregnancy Joke claimed to be his own. Mrs Amelia woke up late. Yesterday was too strenuous for her and all what happened in her compound added to the long sleep she had.
    Sarah, for once in her life, had a sound sleep, after spending most of her life time in club houses, *STRIPPING*. The night was so Peaceful that when she woke, she regret all what she had done in past times. "Tunji come and cook for me oo" that was Mrs Amelia calling Tunji from his room. "I'm coming Ma". He stood up reluctantly and went straight to the kitchen. Good morning Ma, Tunji said. Morning, She replied. He was scared of his Mom discussing what happened last night with him. So, he planned on leaving the kitchen before she does. After putting the pot on fire and was about to boil rice, he was trying to leave the kitchen stylishly. Suddenly, the Mom called him, Tunji! He was so scared that the cup he was holding fell down from his hand. M.....a....a he responded, with some voice tunning.  Won't you wash the rice and set it on fire. He did that grudgingly with his hands shaking. While washing the rice, the Mom started; "Tunji, what has come over you, must it always be you, *bad companies!* You are the one, *pregnant lady!* almost likely to be yours, *stripper!*, certainly yours, *shé I wo ní kàn ló mo*" for the first time, Mrs Amelia speaks in Yoruba. By now, she was serious with all what she was saying. Tunji could not hold all of these and he started begging on his knees with some cry, m...o....m a...m s....or..ry. If Tunji's Dad was around, what would he have done? "Don't worry, I've heard you, but I want you to change because I know you are not a bad boy". "Thank you ma, Mom, one more thing", "what's that, hope it is not a problem?" He was about to tell his mom about Joke's pregnancy but his phone rang immediately. On the phone was joke calling. "I'm coming Ma". He rushed to his room to receive his call. "Hello, it's me joke, the doctor has confirmed that I'm not pregnant, So pls don't be annoyed with what I told you the other day. Bye". What's even happening; Tunji thought to himself. He was happy but at the same time felt indifferent. "Wo! All the best. Mom don't worry again". "Are you sure?" "Yes I'm  sure ma. What are we going to do about Sarah?" Tunji asked. "Don't worry, I will be taking her to her aunt's house after our breakfast. Don't be worried and remember to keep to my warnings". After the breakfast, Mrs Amelia took Sarah to her aunt's place and she was accepted and everything later became fine with Tunji and he made sure he heeded to his Mom's advice.

    THE END
