TEMISAN: A SHORT STORY. contd

Tokunbo was at the corn seller's stand around the same time she saw Temisan the previous day, but to his disappointment, Temisan was not with her. He was tempted to go and ask if Temisan has been there or would still be coming, but he decided otherwise. He decided to go back home, as he was entering the estate, he saw Temisan's car approaching, Tokunbo parked his car in such a way that it will block Temisan's way. Temisan pulled over to see what was wrong with the driver, Tokunbo stepped down, leant on the side of his car and gave Temisan a long look, Temisan asked him what the problem was, Tokunbo kept staring without saying a word.
When he finally spoke,  he said "I saw you yesterday at the corn seller's stand, and even the day before yesterday, is it that you love corn that much or you just love inhaling the smoke?" said Tokunbo. Temisan looked at him, looked beside her and looked beyond Tokunbo's shoulder to be sure he was referring to him. "Do you go about the place looking for people that sit with corn seller?" asked Temisan.
Tokunbo was shocked at the question, he is not used to people talking to her in that manner, are you always this rude? asked Tokunbo. Temisan couldn't restrain herself from laughing, "see who is accusing someone of being rude". What do you call your action? she asked. You parked on the way, and all you could say after a long silence was to accuse me of sitting with a corn seller.
Tokunbo was beginning to get furious, no lady has ever talked back at her in such a manner, and his anger is beginning to show on his face. Do you know who I am? He snorted. Temisan couldn't believe his ears, what kind of man is this, she said to herself. Not ready to create a scene, she pleaded with him to move his car so she could go. Tokunbo felt defeated, she didn't even ask him who he is, everybody always ask, why is she different, he kept asking himself different questions. He said to himself, "if she refuse to ask who he is his, I will tell her, so that next time she will learn to respect him"
By now Temisan was on her way to where her car was parked, she heard Tokunbo coming behind her, she was about to talk when Tokunbo said " I am Tokunbo Coker, the only son of Chief Olufemi Coker, the richest man in this Estate." Temisan looked at him with a smile on her face, Tokunbo was happy to see the smile, he said to himself, that always does the magic, they only need to hear the name...

The last part of Temisan will be coming on Wednesday, 26th.
