NOT HER REFLECTION By Sobowale Olufunke Episode 7

When I got to Edwin's apartment, his neighbour told me that he hasn't been around since last week but I saw him yesterday, what is happening?

Well the reason why I wanted to see Edwin was to accept his request as his girlfriend, I'd rather be a cultist's girlfriend than being a prostitute.

As I was trekking to Mushin bus stop. I noticed that a young man was trying to get my attention.

Not again, I'm not going to let any man destroy my life again, but he caught up with me even as I tried to avoid him.

"Hello miss" he greeted me, he should be in his late twenties

"Yes, what do you want?" I asked

"My name is Biyi and I want us to be friends, please can you give me your phone number?". He asked.

" I don't give strangers my number".I answered

"Please, but this is not
 my first time seeing you, my mom's store is around here, so I do come here once in a while, please I won't disturb you". He begged

Afterwards, I gave him my number.

When I got to Oshodi market, I bought some foodstuffs and provisions for my brother.

Daniel wasn't back from work, so we arranged Shina's load into a big bag(Ghana must go)

The next day, Tofunmi and I followed Shina to the park.

 I wasn't feeling good, I was afraid, well maybe it is normal, I'll miss him but this feeling, I was scared.

Shina hugged us, then we bade him goodbye.

My phone rang, it was an unknown number
I picked the call.

" Hello, it is Biyi". The caller said

"Biyi?from where? I replied even though I know the person

" we met yesterday at Mushin"he replied

"Oh, okay" I answered

"Please, can we meet today? I want to talk to you about some thing". He replied

" can't you say it now?"I asked

"No, not something u can discuss on phone". He replied

" so, where do you want us to meet?" I asked.

After I ended the call, Tofunmi who had been listening, looked at me and started asking me questions

"Who is he?" She asked

"Amebo, we met yesterday and he said he wants to see me today" I answered

"So, are you going?" She asked

"Yes, he sounded serious" I answered

"Please let me follow you, I can't stay in that house alone". Tofunmi begged

" but where are you going to meet him "Tofunmi asked

" Ikeja mall" I answered

"But you have to change your cloth, let's go home first" Tofunmi said

"For what? You're not serious" I laughed

We didn't go back home to change, how I wish  changed my cloth but no transport fare

When we got to the mall, I saw Biyi sitting in a Restaurant with a man and a lady

"Good afternoon" I greeted the three of them

"Thanks for coming"Biyi smiled

I introduced my sister to him while they shook hands

" Ife, the reason why I called you was because we need a female model in our company and I want you to be our model".Biyi said

"What's the name of the company" I asked

"The Marlton" he answered

Marlton? That company is big and popular.I thought

"Are you interested??" He asked

"Yes, I'm interested" I replied him

Then Biyi told the Lady to bring some papers for me to sign, I signed all the papers and I was told to come to the company the following Monday.

I was happy, a model?to a very big company??

I told my sister everything, she was also happy for me.

I went to The Marlton the following week, and Biyi(the company's manager) gave me a bunch of key, I was confused.

"Didn't you read the contents in the paper you were given to sign last week?" He asked

Oh, I didn't read it.

"Well, your official car is outside and if you need a driver, tell me and your house is at lekki" Biyi smiled

😲I must be dreaming.

"Sir, I've a house and a car or what did you say?" I asked

"Yes, and I'd prefer you to call me Biyi" he said

"Okay sir,..Biyi" I replied

He called someone to drive me to my new house.

Oh God, this house is big, bigger than Daniel's house, I'm still confused o,I don't want to wake up from my dream.

What next?

Watch out for it
