Do You Have Mind?

Ify became scared and completely out of place when Christian left. He knows her pregnancy is fake. What if he let’s it slip out to K’s mother or even the Governor? She would be doomed if that happens. The Governor only let her off believing she was carrying his grandchild. But if he gets to know she had tell a lie, she would be kissing her ass six feet beneath the earth. She bit her finger wondering what to do. She picked up her phone and called her aunt. Her aunt would no better. Her mom would never help her out.

Ify puts pressed the red button before the phone could even ring twice. She was having a rethink. Her aunt has just come out of cell, she wouldn’t want to disturb her. But it turns out the call had already gone through before she ended it. Her aunt called back her phone. Ify picked it up and answered her call.

“Aunty Ada good afternoon”. Ify greeted. Mrs. Okafor told Ify it was still morning. Afternoon was still a few hours away.

“They are all the same thing. How are you doing?” Mrs. Okafor asked Ify. Ify told her she was not fine not did not want to disturb her.

“I saw that you announced that you are no longer getting married to Kehinde. Ify, you better not be stupid o. Do not allow that girl you use to call your friend win. In case you do not know, she was the one who released those videos on the internet. I just come to realise it, I should have realised it soon enough. Lanre was the one who framed me up. She had come to see me in cell. That girl is pure evil. If she could do that to me, then she must have been the one who uploaded those videos just to make sure your engagement gets called off. Ify open your eyes”. Mrs. Okafor said.

Ify clutched her phone. If her aunt is right which she was sure she’s right, then Lanre was going down with her. She would reveal the truth even if it is at her own risk. She was not afraid of anybody’s threat. She was not afraid of Christian either.

“Aunt, Kehinde’s friend is aware I’m faking the pregnancy. What should I do?” Ify asked.

“Ify, do you have mind? My children failed me. Even Anita who I thought will have sense is misbehaving, but I want you to be wise. If you don’t Kehinde, you will get another strong politician. I want you to have a bright future and live a good life because I take you as my own daughter”. Mrs. Okafor said to Ify over the phone. Ify sighed. She felt her aunt was talking too much. What she just want is how to solve the issue at hand.

“Ify, this friend of Kehinde, I you to get close to him. Then I will tell you what to do later”. Mrs. Okafor said.
