Episode 23
..... Felix smiled.
I really want you to meet with my brother, my younger brother.
He has been asking so many questions about you.
Felix said.
Really?
Mona replied blushing.
Yea,
Don't worry,
I know he'll really like you.
Felix added.
And Mona smiled.
We are just two left.
My younger brother and I.
Felix started.
I told you one time that my parents are abroad.
They are Yorubas.
Dad is an Engr and mum a lecturer.
My younger brother is actually a twin.
Taiye and Kehinde.
He lost his older twin in a tragic manner.
Taiye actually committed suicide back in secondary school because of a lady he was in love with.
Kehinde his younger brother is left with me.
Felix adjusted and said, do you know that he always wants me, his elder brother to be his twin after he lost his original twin.
Felix laughed.
Mona paying attention, just smiled.
So it's just you and kehinde left?
Mona asked.
Yes.
Felix replied.
He nicknamed himself K-star, "K" being the initials of his name.
And his nickname has actually ended up swallowing his original name 'Kehinde'.
Like K-star?
Mona asked.
Yea,
Felix nodded.
Am a graduate and he too is.
He's through with his Masters and presently working in Abj.
Felix said and paused.
You'll meet with him soon before I finally travel out.
Any question?
Felix asked, looking at Mona who was starring at his face.
Yes,
Mona said.
Are you still traveling out??
Mona asked, wearing a sad face.
Sweetheart,
You know I have to.
Felix said, touching her on her chin.
How long will you be away?
Mona asked.
I can't tell for now,
But I won't be gone for so long.
Felix answered.
I want you to go back to school.
Felix added.
Yea,
I've been thinking about it too.
Mona replied.
Good!
So what have you been thinking?
What do you have in mind?
Felix asked.
Just want my baby to be a little grown up, then I'll go back to another campus, not my previous school.
Mona replied.
How about National Open University?
You could do a part-time and online study you know, Felix introduced.
That's expensive, and I haven't saved enough for that.
Mona said.
Oh,

That's nice,
But I'll take care of your school expenses till you graduate.
Felix said smiling.
I won't let you do that,

But why? Felix asked looking surprised.
Because am not yet your responsibility until after marriage.
