As di sisi use one hand hold steering and kukuma use di order hand hold my kini, my body jus mellow.

I use corner eye look di sisi. Di sisi sef use corner eye look me. I see say e jus dey smile. Na dat time I sabi say no be say na mistake. Di sisi do am korokoro.

E tell me, “My dear Oga MAT, come down darling. Let’s go to the beach and have a good swim.”

As I hear dat one, e come be like say I faint.

So dis sisi sabi me well well? Who send am come? Person wey come our garage wey dey near under Ikeja bridge, pay me 100k make I teach am how to drive, now na how we go swim togeder for Bar Beach e dey tell me! Tori Olorun!

E come be like say di sisi sabi weti I tink, e tell me say “Yes, you heard me well sweetheart. Dat is my home.” E smile as e dey talk am.
