TARA



"I miss you. Can we see and talk things through.  I want you back."


Sesan quickly dropped 

his phone  immediately he clicked on the 'send ' button. It was so fast anyone watching him would think the phone was hot coals in his hand.


He stared at his phone, like someone half waiting for a monster to creep out of the screen of the phone. 


He knew he wasn't going to get a response from the recipient of the message.  Why he sent it in the first place, he had no clue. 


Sesan knew he couldn't blame it on the alcohol. He was too coordinated and calm to blame any of his misbehaviours on alcohol. He doesn't drink to get drunk. He keeps his sense and sanity in one corner before drinking and dons it back after drinking. So he knew exactly everything that happened tonight. 


Everything that started from when he and Tara got to the party, when she started drinking, talking loudly and flirting with Boye,  causing him to shrink in his seat and distant for the rest of the evening. 


Sesan had hooked up with Tara immediately he ended things with Kiki. An affair that was supposed to a fling had grown into a  full blown relationship,  with Insta pictures and lovey dovey captions. Of course not from him,  but from Tara. 


He was getting tired of her and her shenanigans.  She was everything he didn't want in a woman. Him bedding her was the biggest mistake of his life. 


How he missed Kiki.  His soul mate.  His queen. His woman.  Kiki was all shades of awesomeness. He was having the best time of his life with her till they fought over some irrelevant matter and that was the end of everything.


Sesan took one last look at Tara flirting outrageously with Boye and decided that was it.  He vowed to break up with her as soon as they got back to his house.  He couldn't drive her home again that night,  it was past midnight and she stayed on the mainland. 


He finished the  drink in his glass and said goodnight to the boys, and half dragged a reluctant Tara from Boye's laps to the car. 


They drove home in perfect silence.  He was grateful for the silence.  He needed the tranquility to process his thoughts and actions.  He was going to contact Kiki tonight unfailingly. 


They got home and Tara headed straight to the bathroom to shower.  He paid her no mind, tapped the screen of his phone to life and typed the message. He stared at the screen for what seemed like eternity before he clicked send and hastily dropped the phone on the bed. 


Tara came out of the shower almost immediately. 


"It's over.  This thing between us has to end tonight. " he blurted.


"What? " She squeaked in response. 


" You heard me.  I can't do this anymore.  I am not happy with you.  You are not happy with me too, so cut the crap and save us the drama"


His phone chimed as the notification of a message showed on the screen. He rushed to open the unexpected message.  It read : " I have been waiting for this for so long. I miss you too.  Our usual bookstore?"


He smiled.  Everything was falling into place.  He was going home finally. 


Tara's next statement dropped his jaw and hands, causing the phone to fall from his grip, shattering his bubbles.


"I am pregnant ".

A statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande , quotes Osinbajo as saying this while receiving a delegation of Christian Ministers Welfare Initiative also known as the Pastors ’ Forum , Taraba State , at the Presidential Villa , Abuja yesterday. “ This morning, I had a meeting with the President and he repeated to me twice, he said ‘ at my age , there is only one thing I am looking for , I want to see a great Nigeria . ’ He has no other objective and I feel very inspired by that . It is madness for anybody in our position to be looking for money. According to him , God put people in a position of authority for them to be able to do something for their people. I think if any Nigerian gets the chance to be President of the country , there is nothing he / she is looking for anymor...

THE WILDFLOWER MOVIE REVIEW.

  Think of The Wait and how it made you feel. How it brought things you have ever seen, heard of or experienced right to you, that is exactly how you would feel with this movie.  This is a movie that is a must watch if you are a mother, an elder sister, if you are connected to a female one way or the other, this movie is for you. Trust Aunty Biodun Stephen to always give you real life and realistic themes and plots. Hence the plot of this movie is so close to home that I could remember some scenarios. But the movie was dragged at so many points. If you are looking for a movie that would kick you in the punch at once, this is not that movie. This is the movie that you have take your time to go through the prolonged actions and scenes, which was caused by some actors, who unfortunately were key players. Anyway, overall, I'd give it an 8/10. Plot is cool. Directing is cool. Delivery wasn't perfect for a lot to cast, even the top ones. Everyone was just at their relaxed mood, whic...
