Story of Addiction (S02 E30)

I woke up around 8am. I knew Chidinma would come around in an hour time. I dashed to the bathroom for my early morning drills.
I connected a call to Sarah. She picked. She reminded me of tomorrow. She pleaded that I should keep to my promise. I ended the call when I heard the bell sound; I guessed it has to be Chidinma.
I rushed to the gate and I guessed right. It was Chidinma quite alright but just dressed more formal that makes her more mature. I opened the gate and we chitchat while walking into the house.
Chidinma: Good Morning Femi

Me: Good Morning.... welcome.
Chidinma: so have you made up your mind about me taking you.
Me: (confused) What do you mean?
Chidinma: your mum explained everything to me... she told me why you dint want me to take you.
Me: (mummy sef) hmnnnnn... so what was your reaction after she told you?
Chidinma: does it really matters? Your decision is final.
I already know that I'm stuck with her but with our conversation now; she doesn't know that. I just have to swing the situation to my favour.
Me: Okay... I'm sorry. I have talked to one of my friends home tutor and he has already accepted to start tomorrow.
Chidinma: (looks sad) okay then... I think I should get going. your mum told me to expect something like that from you.
Me: it's okay then
She stood up to leave. Then she suddenly let me into her innermost secrets.
Chidinma: (voice low) I'm sorry to be bothering you but I just have to plead with you on this job.
Me: what do you have me do now? I had already told my new tutor to resume tomorrow.
Chidinma: (voice still low) you can still tell him about me. He has other students. I just need this job. We are on break now. I just have to raise some money before going back. (paused then continues) my parents only managed to pay my school fees. I can't tell them that I still have some departmental levy that's not included in the school fees. I still need to... (now tears rolling down her eyes) .
She kept talking with the tears still rolling down. I felt for her that I just had to stop the play acting.
Me: it's okay... You can have the Job.
Chidinma: thank you... thank you...
Me: but only on one condition....
Chidinma: anything...
Me: I won't be available for all the lesson days and you will not dare tell my mum.
Chidinma: (surprised) why won't you be available?
Me: not always... maybe once in a week, at most twice.
Chidinma: it's okay then... thank you for the job.
We dint even talk about anything about Chemistry. Maybe she's afraid that it might upset me.
Wetin concern me? I don't want the tutorial sef... Na my mummy wan just her waste money.
