LARI'S POV

It's been somedays now and everywhere has been normal. I roll to the other side of the bed as I enjoy my morning sleep. The air conditioner is chilling the whole room and I just cuddle in the more into my warm blanket.

Best thing about staying here is that there is no time to get up from bed....

That's when from nowhere a hot slap landed on my lap, "Ye!" Soothing the part of my body that was hit.

"Yenegua ni, sit up johr..I want to talk to you" Mother said making me groan in annoyance , I immediately sit up

"Mommy what is it, it's five thirty in the morning" Glancing at the wall clock, "What do you want to say that can't wait for the sun to rise up"

"Wo Lari, I was praying this morning and the holy spirit ministered to me"

Ohwww, is this why mommy woke me up by this time

"Ehe"

"The holy spirit said I should tell you,  that you should start finding my son in law" Her voice very serious.

"That's what Emi mimo told you" (Holy spirit)

"Nitorinaa Mo jẹ opuro ahbi?" ( so I'm a lier ahbi?)

I shake my head, "You can never lie" I said in a sarcastic tone. "So mommy this is the spirit talking...Not you"

"Yes ohh, this is the spirit talking, to you and me....O gbọ mi" (you heard me)

I nod, I'm really sleepy right now .What happened to Ire's room or even Tobi's room.

"Listen to me Lari"

I nod in tiredness, my eyes are threatening to close.

"Ṣe iwọ yoo ṣe akiyesi......Listen!" (will you pay attention), tapping me on my arm making me groan with annoyance.

Which kin mama be this na

"Lari Bello, tell me....When last did you bring a boyfriend"

I instantly hissed

"Maṣe jẹ ki n lu ọ ni owurọ yi" (don't make me slap you this morning), "Will you answer my question"

I throw my face the other direction, rolling my eyes and murmuring to myself.

"Ah ah Lari, let me be able to look Mama Temi in the face and tell her shame to bad people, when I hand over your wedding card to her.....I want to dance when your walking down the ice"

"Mommy its aisle, not ice"

"Ah, Lari...You still have mouth, you will not ask Emi mimo to forgive you....Kini aṣiṣe pẹlu rẹ" (what is wrong with you)

"Ohw, mommy why is it me...What happened to Ire, Simi or even Tobi" I blurted out in frustration, all this talk is irking my ears.

"Tobi?, that your sister nilo prayers.....That man she has been going out with that has been buying her all the Nigeria, he hasn't even for one day asked to see her parents"

"Ah ah, maybe their just taking things slow"

"iyẹn ni pe igbesi aye rẹ slow, will you stand up from that bed...Radarada" (That's why your life is slow) Standing up and walking out.

I covered my face with my pillow and made a huge scream. Somebody cannot sleep again because they don't have husband.

To even think of it, Tobi has never been around, always going out with Mike and when I even got to see the Mike,....The man looked too old for her age and not somebody I can say is...
