**continued from last scene**
“That was a very delicious meal, I never imagined you being a very good cook” Said Ben
“Really so you thought I was just like those crazy girls with zero wife material yeah” said Anne as she made to pack the plates to the kitchen.


Ben resumed back to what he was doing before the meal was served. Ever since he got into the house, he has been staring all around, he was really wowed about how majestic the House is, the house will easily pass for the House of the Vice Chancellor himself. Though it was a bungalow but it has everything that is needed in a house, very beautiful set of furnitures, a gigantic plasma TV, well tiled, everything in the house is beautiful especially with the blue setting.
‘This house is beautiful’ Ben said to Anne who just got back from the kitchen.


“That’s the umpteenth time you are telling me that in a space of an hour, if you really like it then come and buy it” she replied him jokingly and then moved closer to where he was sitting
Before Ben could spell jack, their lips were already intertwined, her lips were so cold and soft, he felt the taste of the juice they just had on her lips and it enabled him to sU-Ckle the lips really hard which made her m0an so loud.


The kiss continued and became more passionate.

All of a sudden Ben began seeing flashes and after that a vision appeared, a boy and a girl also kissing each other passionately, they were so engrossed in it and looked like they were enjoying it with their eyes closed and when the girl opened her eyes, she saw that the guy had turned to a skeleton, she untangled from him and screamed.


Immediately Ben snapped out of the vision too and freed himself from Anne who fell to the ground screaming, they were both afraid.
“Did you see it too” she asked with her heart pounding …….



**Unknown time**
Babatunji has now grown into a man, he is just a replica of his father Ajadi, Adisa fulfilled his promise to his father, he raised him to be a warrior like him and his late father, even better.
He took care of him and his mother Omolabake very well, he is indeed a true friend.


Labake who was strucked with madness when Ajadi died was well taken care of by the chief priest who tried all his ability to heal her but wasn’t able to do so.


Her madness was believed to be a rare one because unlike every other mad people, she always keep quiet, she only talks to her son and to Ajadi’s ghost that she keeps seeing even after all these years, sometimes she also speaks to Adisa.


Some people believed that she isn’t mad, that it was the true love that they had for each other that has refused to let her live a normal life after Ajadi’s death.


Tunji who has grown to take all of his father’s inheritance passed down to him by his grandfather Balogun was cultivating one of his farmlands when his lover Abeni joined him.


Abeni has always been his closest friend before they decided to take their relationship to the next level.


According to both of them and some villagers, their love was ordained from heaven because they were born on the same day and at the same time and also in the same place which happened to be at the Chief priest’s shrine.


Their relationship was the envy of the whole village, they practically act like they are married even though they were still staying with their parents.


Abeni brought food and water for him and watched him as he devoured the food like an hungry lion, she watched him with love, she was really very happy to have him in her life.


After he ate and drank some water, he decided to walk her down to the stream to fetch water.


On their way to the stream they heard someone shouting their names, Tunji recognised the voice to be Ashake’s voice.


Ashake is the only child of Ajadi, her mother died while giving birth to her. Adisa raised both Ashake and Tunji as his children. They were really very fond of each other, they really love each other and will do anything for each other.

‘Brother Tunji, Father is dying, he asked me to come and get you’ Ashake said panting heavily
Tunji didn’t probe further because he knew that Adisa has been sick for a while now, He ran home leaving Ashake and Abeni behind and they also kept running to catch up with him.


He got home and was surprised to see his mother who hardly leaves her hut where she stays behind the house, she was trying to give Adisa who was coughing profusely his medicine. He rushed to where they were and knelt infront of his Adisa.


“Babatunji Omo Ajadi Igo, abi o ri iya ree ni (look at your mum),she is administering my medications to me, she is even begging me not to die” Adisa said smiling.


Tunji turned back to look at his mother and just smiled and faced him back.


“After all these years that I have been begging her to live a normal life, she didn’t hearken to me and now she wants me to listen to her plea that I shouldn’t die” he said jokingly and as he was about to laugh, he began to cough again.
The girls have now arrived and Ashake was also kneeling infront of her father.


“Babatunji, take good care of your mother and your sister Ashake, Take good care of them, make me and your father proud” he struggled to say and then he gave up the ghost.


The whole house went up into flames of cries, Ashake’s crying uncontrollably and Abeni who tried holding her back was also crying out bitterly.
Even Omolabake was also crying, Tunji couldn’t hold back the tears also but instead of crying he just walked out of the house.



“Why am I so unlucky, why do the gods hate me these much. My father died even before I was born and now the man have always looked up to now is also dead” Tunji was speaking to himself, he was now crying too but kept walking.
He was really hurt by Adisa’s death because Adisa really took care of him but he wasn’t able to do anything to help him while he was dying. He was so angry about it that he thought about committing suicide but then again who will take care of Ashake and his mother if he kills himself….
