Episode 4
“Is it a sin for her mom to come to her school” Kunle, the funniest student of Miss Abosede asked. “Well that because it was the first time her mum would come to her school when it's not a PTA meeting” Miss Abosede replied with a grin face.
Mrs Alabi ignored her as she was looking at the girl beside her “Who is she” she asked. “She is my sit partner” Tolani replied. “Can this be true” the statement Mrs Alabi uttered. No one understood as Mrs Catherine, Tolani and Bimbo kept wondering what was going on.
“What happened” the principal said but as she was about to answer, Tolani interrupted saying she want to escort Bimbo. Mrs Alabi drew Mrs Catherine hands in a manner that made her think she is a Physco patient.
“I just saw Tolani with somebody” Mrs Alabi said. “Is anything wrong with that” the principal asked. “ Is she a lesbian” Kunle asked and everyone was curious to know. “No” Miss Abosede said.
“Tolani has not been with anyone she I gave birth to her. It was only her and her family. She is always on her own, she does not really relate with everyone at home. She loves sitting at a corner. Seeing her with someone means a lot to me. I know i have not been there for her but I want to make things right. I know she can improve” Mrs Alabi said feeling sad.
After everything she said, Mrs Catherine felt her pain and was ready to help. “I would try my best” she replied. Mrs Alabi felt relieved and as she raised her face to thank her, Tolani has almost gotten near her. Quickly she said “thank you ” as she moved forward to meet her. She held her hand as they headed home. Tolani school was in front of their house.
