...Mr. Taiwo was to go to his wife's house the following day and deliver her portion of the money their son sent. At first he was reluctant, but later mustered courage and decided to take the bull by the horn. At least for the sake of their children. The next morning, Mr. Taiwo got up early, had his bath and breakfast and then headed for his wife's house. On arrival, it took him almost five minutes to knock on the door, and when he finally did, he faced down with eyes closed.
"Come in!" was the reply from inside, but Mr. Taiwo refused to come in for fear of his wife's reaction. When no one opened at her response, Mrs. Iyabo walked up to the door and opened it, to see her husband standing at the door, faced down. Mr. Taiwo's heart rent into two when his wife opened the door.
"Oh, it's you. Come in" she said with a smile, to his utter amazement. Kunle had earlier written a letter to his mom, which she received a day before the postman delivered Mr. Taiwo's parcel. So Mrs. Iyabo had already decided to reconcile with her husband.
"I'm awfully sorry for everything I made you and the kids go through" Mr. Taiwo said with streaks of tears on his cheek.
"Please find a place in your heart to forgive me" he added.
"It's okay. I forgave you a long time ago" Mrs. Iyabo said as she walked towards her husband who was standing across her in her white-painted sitting room, well furnished with black leader sofas. She then kissed him before they embraced each other with deep emotions. Moments later, Mrs. Iyabo returned the keys to her apartment to the land owner before moving back in with her husband.
