TEMISAN: A SHORT STORY. the concluding part

Tokunbo gave Temisan his complimentary card and told her to give him a call, ‘you will be doing yourself a whole lot of good if you call me’ he added. Temisan bored of the conversation already, took the card, entered the car, dropped the card in the car safe and drove off. Days went by without call from Temisan, Tokunbo's curiosity was at its peak, he couldn't understand why she hasn't called. He kept assuring himself that she will eventually call, they always do, he told himself.

Days roll into weeks, Tokunbo was beginning to think of how to locate Temisan when he ran into her at a restaurant close to the Estate on the afternoon of the third week of their encounter. Tokunbo walked to her where she was talking with a woman beside her car, 'why didn't you call me?' he asked. Temisan looked lost, she couldn't remember where she knew him. 'Do I know you? she asked him. It was obvious from his reaction that Tokunbo felt defeated. He wanted to introduce himself again when Temisan said 'oh I remember your face, you are the man that blocked my way inside the estate the other day, aren't you? Tokunbo couldn't believe his ears, 'is that the only thing you remember about me, he asked. She asked him if there is anything else she is suppose to remember about him. Tokunbo was lost in thought for a long time, asking himself series of questions. Who is this lady? Why isn't she interested in my status? Or is she just playing hard to get? Those were the thoughts that occupied his mind, the voice of Temisan brought him back, Temisan said she has an important meeting to attend at the office. Tokunbo told her he was also on his way to a meeting that was scheduled by his father and the Manager of the Estate, and since his father was not around he will be representing his father. Temisan just smiled and drove off to work.

Thirty minutes later, Temisan was in her office when her secretary informed her that her visitor is around. In few seconds, she was face to face with her visitor. 'We meet again' she said. Tokunbo could  not believe his eyes, 'what are you doing here?' he asked. He didn't wait for the answer before he spoke again, don't tell me you are the manager of the estate. But the owner of the estate, Senator Adeoye said the estate is managed by his only child, he added. He looked up at Temisan and saw that Temisan was smiling. So, you are the only child of Senator Adeoye, the owner of the estate. You are Temisan Adeoye, right? In answer to Tokunbo's question, the secretary peeped in and said 'anty Temisan, the mehanic said he is through with the car'.
