WHEN LOVE JUST HAPPENS 2 : EPISODE 51 – THE END
EPISODE 58
It’s already a month since Amaka told Dele she can’t bear children, and ever since then she hasn’t heard from, no seen him. She tried going over to his place to see him, but was told he wasn’t there. She knew he was around but was trying to avoid her. After several attempts to reach him but to no avail, she decided to let him be. If this is how he wants their relationship to end, then so be it.
In order to take her mind off him, she threw herself into her work, she goes to work very early, and leaves really late, most times she is even the last to leave the office premises. By the end of the day, she would be too tired to have time to think about Dele.
On weekends, she wears herself out with so much exercise activities.
By 6am she was already on the treadmill sweating it out, when her phone rang, she wanted to ignore it when she saw it was Jane calling.
“Hello Jane” she answered breathless.
“Amaka what is wrong, are you running or something?”
“Yeah, I’m on the treadmill, I’m exercising” she decided to stop the treadmill.
“This early? Aren’t you supposed to still be in bed or something?”
“And be doing what? Cuddling my pillow? Abeg running is the new cuddle”
“Nor vex abeg, na me find trouble”
“No wahala, why aren’t you still sleeping? It’s weekend aren’t you supposed to be cuddling with your husband?”
“Abeg I couldn’t sleep, what are your plans for the day?”
“Nothing much, why?”
“I was thinking if we could meet for lunch this afternoon? At that restaurant where we used to hang out, just like old times” Jane said cheerfully.
“Hmmm that’s not a bad idea you know, I can use some good company today”
“And some hug too”
“Yeah I really need to be hugged Jane”
“Then let’s see by 12noon, I will book us a reservation”
“All right then, see you by 12noon”
“Bye, and Amaka?”
“Yes?”
“I love you”
“I love you too Jane”
When she ended the call, Amaka increased the pace of her treadmill and exercised until her body couldn’t take anymore exercise. By the time she left the gym she could barely walk.
By 12 noon, she was already at the restaurant waiting for Jane, she has missed her company so much that she couldn’t wait to spend time with her. Jane has been so sick this period, going in and out of the hospital, so they rarely spent time together.
She ordered for some drinks, and as she was seeping on it, Jane came in.
Amaka smiled at the way she carried her pregnancy with grace, even with all the stress she has been going through because of the pregnancy, she still tries her best to look good, and classy.
“Why are you smiling like that?” Jane asked as she got to where Amaka was sitting.
“You are a true definition of; not looking like what we are going through”
“Awwwww, please stand up and give me a hug abeg” she spread her hands for a hug.
Amaka got up, and hugged Jane. “I have missed you so much”
“Even me”
After hugging, they sat down. “What have you been up to? Look at how trimmed you are looking” Jane complimented Amaka’s body.
“Your babe here, has been working out on a daily basis” Amaka said with an air of confidence.
“Hmmmmmm, now I’m jealous of you”
“Don’t worry your time is coming, so just relax”
“I hear you, please let’s order for food, I’m starving”
A waiter came to take their orders..
“How have you been Amaka? How are you holding up?”
“My dear, how else will I be? I’m okay, I have been busy trying to get my mind off him”
“Has he reached out to you since then?”
“No he hasn’t, I have been trying to reach him but to no avail, it’s as if he is avoiding me, whenever I go to his house, his security guard keeps saying he is not around, he doesn’t take my calls either, abeg I have decided to leave him alone abeg, dem nor dey die put on top the matter”
“I’m sorry dear, have you tried going to his office?”
“Someone that won’t take my calls, I should now go to his office? Abeg na pikin I nor fit born, I nor kill person. I understand if he is breaking up with me, I just expected him to say it to my face”
“Don’t worry everything will be fine”
“Yeah, it will, abeg let’s talk about something else, how are you and the babies doing?”
Jane was hesitant to talk about her pregnancy.
“It’s okay Jane, you can tell me, infact I really want to hear about your babies”
“We are doing okay, just that I no longer sleep well these days”
“What is the problem?”
“Ha, they always choose night time to start kicking, sometimes I will have to be begging them to stop so I can sleep” Jane placed her hands on her tummy as she spoke. “But during the day, they are calm as ever”
“Don’t worry very soon, you will drop them and everything will be over”
“I can’t wait, and please get ready because you are going to be having them over on so many days, as their godmother”
Amaka gasped in surprise, “I’m going to be your children’s godmother?”
“Yes of course, who else did you think is going to be their godmother? Aunty get ready to create space in your apartment for them”
“I will be honored, Jane thank you” she stood up and pulled Jane up for a hug.
“Get ready guys, because your godmother is going to take you guys partying” Amaka announced.
They both laughed and ate their food, as they talked about every other thing.
“It was really nice talking to you Jane, I feel so relieved, thanks for the treat”
“You are welcome, please I don’t want you to be thinking too much okay?”
“Yes mummy Jane”
After Jane left, Amaka decided to book an Uber ride back to her apartment. As she waited for her ride to arrive, she got a call from Dele, she decided to ignore it, after all the missed call she has given him, he is just decided to call her now.
After calling her for five times non-stop, Amaka decided to pick the call, and hear what he has to say.
“Hello?” She answered nonchalantly.
“For a while, I was thinking you weren’t going to pick up”
“Same way you haven’t been picking up my calls?”
“Yeah about that, I’m truly sorry”
Amaka didn’t say anything, she kept quiet waiting for him to say why he called.
“Can we see, please? We need to talk” Dele pleaded.
“All right no problem”
“So can I come pick you up?”
“Like right now?”
“Yeah, or are you busy?”
“I’m actually out, how about I come meet you, where are you?”
“I’m at my place”
When Amaka’s ride, arrived she changed her destination to Dele’s address. By the time she got there, he was already at his gate waiting for her, and the moment she came out of the car, he hugged her tightly.
“I’m so sorry”
Amaka who was caught off guard by his actions, didn’t say anything.
He carried her off the ground, and started walking into his compound.
“Dele what are you doing? Put me down” Amaka protested as they passed his gateman who smiled at his boss’s action.
When they got to his sitting room, he gently placed her on her feet. They stood still staring at each other.
“I have missed you so much” Dele broke the silence.
“I missed you too”
“I’m sorry I haven’t been taking your calls all these while”
“It’s okay, I understand you were caught off guard with what I told you”
“Come have a sit” he led Amaka to sit on a couch, it’s same couch she had helped him to pick out, when they went furniture shopping.
Dele stood staring at her, as she sat there.
“I can’t live without you Amaka, I just can’t”
“I can’t either Dele but I…”
“Please let me finish” Dele stopped her.
“You said the doctors said you can’t conceive right?”
“Yes”
“How many doctors have you been to?”
“Three different doctors”
“That’s still too small if you ask me”
“Dele they are specialists and ….”
“And we can try other specialists, better ones, we can even go out of the country and seek for help, but I’m not giving up on us Amaka, there has to be a way around this”
“And what if at the end of all of these, we don’t find a solution? What becomes of us?”
“Then…. ”
“Then what Dele?” Amaka asked tensed.
“Then we can adopt, there are so many homeless children out there who are in need of a family, we can adopt kids Amaka, or we can even have a surrogate mother help us out. There are so many things we can do Amaka, but leaving you is definitely not part of it, leaving you is not an option, because I’m going nowhere”
“Oh Dele, are you sure?” Amaka was already crying.
“I’m sure darling, I love you babe, and there is no going back on that”
“I love you” Amaka got up and hugged him.
Dele lifted Amaka’s chin with his hand, looking into her eyes, seeing deep into her soul, she drew him towards her with her eyes, he bent his head, and slowly lay his mouth on hers which was already slightly slit open.
Amaka wrapped her hands around his neck, as she opened herself to him. She loves this man.
“I love you baby” he placed his forehead on hers. “I don’t know what you did to me, because I can’t get you off my mind, no matter how hard I tried”
“Hahahaha…I did nothing to you babe” Amaka threw her head back in laughter, with her hands still wrapped around his neck.
“Yes you did” he dropped feathery ksses on her ne¢k, “and whatever it is you did, I don’t want you to undo it, because I love loving you”
“Baby you are making me laugh”
“Hmmm, I love making you laugh” he kept kssing her neck, making her giggle.

That evening after Amaka and Dele had made love, they both lay in bed. Her head was resting on his chest, while he caressed her bare back with his hand.
“How is work, how have you been enjoying your promotion?” Dele asked her.
“Work has been good, very well even, I now have a personal assistant” Amaka said with pride
“Is that so? My baby is now a boss lady, I’m so proud of you” he kssed her forehead.
She raised her head to look at him “thank you, so you should mind the way you talk to me, because I’m a boss lady, not your regular kind of babe”
“All right Amaka” he mimicked a salute.
“Amaka? What happened to calling me baby?” She looked alarmed.
“Well since you are now a boss lady, there is no need to call you a baby anymore, don’t you think so?”
“No, I’m still a baby, your baby”
He smiled and kssed the tip of her nose, “of course you are still my baby and definitely not the regular kind of babe, we need to celebrate this”
“Yeah” Amaka sat up on the bed, exposing her bare bbs. “You will make me one of those your nice meals?”
“I was actually thinking we would go out, you want us to celebrate indoors?”
“Yup, we will eat, and then cuddle and watch Netflix”
“I thought you said later? What are you doing now?”
“I’m trying to get enough energy to prepare you that meal you requested for”
“You are so naughty”

“Baby you need to calm down, I think you are getting worked up about nothing” Jeffery tried to still his troubled wife who was shaking from anxiety.
Vivian invited Jane over for lunch the next day to come meet her husband, and family.
“Jeff that man doesn’t like me”
“How do you know that? You haven’t even met him before, how can you be so sure he doesn’t like you?”
“Because I can feel it Jeff, I can feel it within me, that man doesn’t like me”
“He doesn’t hate you, if she did, he wouldn’t have invited you over, I think you should just calm down and relax”
“You won’t understand, infact I’m no longer going, I will just call Vivian and tell her I’m not coming”
“And what is going to be your reason? You know she is really looking forward to your coming, she really wants you to meet her family”
“I could fall sick, or something, I’m pregnant so it’s expected”
“Mrs. Jane Ademola?! I didn’t know you to be a lier” he reprimanded her.
“Ehn… It’s not like I’m lying, I might actually fall sick by tomorrow o, you know I have been feeling this pain on my lower back” she pretended to be in pains.
“Hehehehehe… Babe I know you are scared, but not to worry, I’m going to be with you”
“You will go with me?” Jane’s eyes lit up as she asked.
“Yeah, I will be coming with you, so you don’t have to worry”
“Thank you so much Jeff”
WHEN LOVE JUST HAPPENS 2 : EPISODE 51 – THE END
The next day, after they got back from church, Jane and Jeffery had lunch, and rested for a while before they got dressed and Jeffery drove them to Vivian’s house.
When they arrived, Katherine came out to welcome them.
“Jane I must say you are really carrying this pregnancy so well” Katherine said to Jane as she led them into the house.
“Oh really? Thank you” Jane replied, she was too nervous to be bothered about how Katherine thinks she is carrying her pregnancy.
Jeffery who already noticed this, held her hands in his, giving it a gentle reassuring squeeze.
“Yeah, look at how beautiful looking you are in this dress”
“Thank you, please where is Vivian, sorry my mother?” She is still hasn’t gotten used to calling Vivian her mother, the last time they met, Vivian had requested she calls her mother. Jane agreed to it, but most times she still catches herself calling her Vivian, instead of mum.
“She is in the kitchen, she will be out soon, sorry I can’t stay for lunch, I have a date” as Katherine spoke, Vivian came out of the kitchen, looking elegant and beautiful as ever.
Jeffery smiled as he began to see the resemblance between mother and daughter. Even though Jane is dark skinned and Vivian light skinned, there’s still a lot of resemblance between them. They both have same slim thick shape, and walked almost the same way, and smiled the same way too.
“There you are, I was about to call you to know if you had changed your mind” she went to where Jane was standing, and hugged her, something Jane has gotten used to anytime they meet.
“Good afternoon ma” Jeffery greeted. He has taken to calling her ma, since he discovered she is his mother in-law, even though it was weird at first, because they both use to go on first name basis.
“Jeffery, how are you doing?” She smiled at him.
“Very well thank you”
“Please have a seat, while I go get the children and my husband” Vivian disappeared to get her family to come say hello to Jane and her husband.
“What if he doesn’t like me?” She whispered to Jeffery who was sitting close to her.
“Then I will pun¢h him on his nose, and we will leave, I don’t take it likely when people don’t like my wife” he whispered back, smiling.
“Okay I trust you, but we will eat first o, after eating you will now pun¢h him” she said childishly.
“You are thinking about food? I thought you were worried of not being liked?” He looked at her like she was going crazy.
“What? I’m hungry, and that coconut rice smells really nice, I’m sure it’s going to taste nice as well”
“How did you even know it’s coconut rice, that’s being prepared?” The look of disbelief not leaving his face.
“I just know, can’t you perceive the coconut coming from the rice?” Jane turned her head towards the direction of the kitchen, and continued to sniff.
Jeffery was still trying to comprehend what his wife was doing, when Vivian came back to the sitting room, in the company of a tall dark middle aged man, and two beautiful teenagers, a boy and a girl, the twins.
“Sweetheart meet my daughter Jane and her husband Jeffery” she smiled happily as she introduce them.
“Oh the famous Jane” he said smiling as he got closer to her, and she greeted him.
“How are you doing?”
Jeffery gently squeezed her hand, to assure her, he was there for her.
“I’m fine thank you sir”
“Oh please, you can call me daddy, if my wife is your mother, then that makes you my daughter as well”
Jane was taken aback by his statement, so she kept quiet, staring at him.
“But if it’s not okay with you, then you don’t have to call me that if you don’t want to….”
“No no, I’m okay with calling you dad, I just wasn’t expecting you to say it”
“You are a part of the family Jane” Vivian announced. “George and Georgia say hello to your sister” she pushed the twins forward.
“Good afternoon ma, good afternoon sir” they both greeted in unison as if they had rehearsed it.
When they were done exchanging pleasantries, they went to the dinning to eat, and true to Jane’s prediction, they were served coconut rice, with chicken coleslaw.
Jeffery looked at her, as she smiled as she was being served.
At the end of the day, they were all laughing and sharing jokes, the twins inclusive, Jane felt so happy that she never for once felt out of place for one minute. Contrary to her thinking, Vivian’s husband is quite jovial and welcoming.
