Sacrifices

The next morning, Sophia stayed in her room, and waited until Tunde's mom left the house before she came out of her room.

After what had happened last night, she didn't bother to keep up appearance by going to sleep in Tunde's room.

She needed to be alone, and didn't care about what his mother says or thinks of them sleeping in separate rooms.

She watched through the window of her room, as Mrs Makinde drove out of the compound.

She came downstairs and met Tunde in the sitting room as he came back from seeing his mother off.

"Good morning" she greeted him.

"Good morning, mom was asking after you, she said to tell you she has left"

"Oh okay"

"Going somewhere?" He asked looking at her dressing.

"Yes, I'm going to see my mom"

"Aren't you going to church today?"

"No I'm not"

"Can we talk?".

"I'm sorry, but I'm sort of in a hurry, probably when I get back"

"All right"
