One Love
It’s been more than a year now since Mr. Badmus proposed marriage to Esther, Mrs. Cole of which she gladly accepted. After all, it is all she every wanted. She is in love with him and ready to be with him for the rest of her life. Six months after he proposed, they got married and ever since they have lived together under Mr. Badmus roof with Bayo and Ayo. Mrs. Cole had now become Mrs. Badmus and she liked it.
Mrs. Badmus no longer go to work as her husband did not agree to it. Mr. Badmus however equipped the shop in front of the house with provisions and gave it to her. He also promised to build a larger place for her in the heart of the city if she so wished.
On Saturdays, the couple go out together to have a nice time. Sometimes Ayo tags along but most of the time she stayed back to study. If Bayo is home for the holiday, they all go out together as a family. On this very Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. Badmus went out together as usual.
“Mom, Dad, I’m home”, Ayo called from the sitting room. She had just returned from Bukky’s house and calling on both her parents before she remembered that her Dad’s car isn’t at the garage. ‘They must have gone out but the door isn’t locked. Who could be at home?’ she thought.
“Is that Ayo?” Bayo called from upstairs

. When he heard no response, he decided to come downstairs to the sitting room where Ayo was. He found Ayo sitting on the couch.
Ayo stood up immediately she saw her stepbrother and ran into Bayo’s open arm. She was glad he was home at a time she needed him most. “I didn’t know you were coming today”, she said. “I thought you said tomorrow”.
“I wanted to surprise you”, Bayo replied. “I guess mom and dad have gone out as usual”.
“Yes”, she answered. “I’m just glad you’re home”.
Bayo smiled. “What about Bukky?”
“She’s fine. I just left her place now”.
“Okay”.
They both sat down on the couch. Judging by the looks on their faces, they seemed happy like the perfect siblings.
“When are you going for the qualification exams?” Bayo broke the silence that has ensued between them.
“Next weekend”, Ayo replied looking down.

. She has been thinking a lot and it was obvious on her face. She wasn’t sure if she would qualify for the Mathematics Olympiad.
“Sis. It’s going to be okay”, Bayo comforted her. “Uhm”, was all she could mutter. Bayo noticed she was afraid and he has come to help her become strong both academically and emotionally. He knew her weak aspect which was her speed in answering questions and with his help she has improved to some extent.
“I have come to help you sis. Just trust yourself”, Bayo advised. “It’s all you ever dreamt of so hold fast to it. Do not let it go. Believe and hope, Ayo and success shall be yours”.
“Amen. Thanks for your advice”, Ayo managed to say, then smiled.
He smiled back.
