24 CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR THE COUNSEL OF A GOOD OBSERVANT MOTHER (1/2)

When they left, Tolu's mother called Tolu inside to have a mother and daughter friendly chat with her over what she observed while she was with Richie and Bianca.

She started by asking Tolu if she has any boyfriend? Tolu told her that that there is no way she would have a boyfriend without letting her know and be guided by her.

Hearing this from her the mother was glad, she said, ”I know you will not do it, but I just asked just in case”She continued, ”I have raised you well and you are following the path that I set before you, if you follow this path to the end you will not regret in any way”

Tolu asked, ”Mom why are you saying this to me tonight, did you noticed anything in me?” The mother said, ” No I did not notice any wrong thing in you, rather I noticed that you were irritated by your friend tonight”

Tolu asked, ”How did you noticed that?” The mother answered and said, ”A good mother notices what is going on around her hisband daughter, i don't want you to follow the way of Bianca, that is not the right way to be properly married. When a lady flirt with a man like that the man will see her as a person of easy virtue that he can use and dump, such ladies always get more than they bargain for and may be terribly hurt at the end.”

Tolu said, ”You have always been drumming this to my hearing since I entered into my teenage years, why are you repeating it tonight?

The mother said, ” I am repeating it because I don't want you to be hurt, you are very young or should I say you are younger than the world that you are currently walking with, and I will not want you to be taken advantaged of by any smart devil, all I am saying is please be careful, there are more wolves among men than humans!

when most of them comes to an innocent lady like you, they won't confess the lust that is in there minds, they will talk about love that is not in their soul, so please be on the look out for the whims and caprices of men!”

Tolu said, ”Thank you mom for your good advises all the time, and please rest assured that I will be very careful and by the grace of God I won't be a meal to wolves!”

”Can I ask you a question” The mother asked, Tolu answered and said, ”Ask mom I'm all hears”

”Do you love that Richie?”The mother asked. Tolu laughed and said, ”In love with whom, in love with my boss? Must I not know my league? He is older than me, he has seen the world, he can't even come lower to befriend a barely legal like me!”

Her mother cut her short and said, ”Tolu you did not answer my question, you only highlight why you think relationship will not work between you, and I disagree with you, love knows no league my dear”
