A family portrait hangs on the wall close to the TV, while the home theater keeps making a harmonious sound of "Alagbada Ina" by Nathaniel Bassey. Everything seems orderly and neat as Ajoke keeps cleaning the living room. Just before she could turn and place another family portrait, which she was holding, her mom came in, looking all stressed but beautiful.

Ajoke: Èkáábò mà (Welcome)

Mrs. Lola (now Miss Lola): How are you?

Ajoke: I am fine, how is work?

Mrs. Lola: We thank God. What about Akanni?

Ajoke: He isn't home yet, and...

*Akanni entered*

Ajoke jumped on him; she couldn't hide the feeling of having her brother back home. She missed him a lot.

Akanni: Ekáásàn mà (Good Afternoon) *Akanni prostrated*

Mrs. Lola: káábò òmò mi (welcome my son)

After several greetings, Akanni went in with his mom to discuss what really happened. Mrs. Lola explained without leaving anything out; Akanni could feel her pain but couldn't judge her actions. He hugged his mom and talked her to sleep.

Finally, he was alone in his room, and thoughts of the whole day kept rushing in his brain. He couldn't fathom what really caused him to contemplate suicide because after all the problems, he still has a home to return to – "his mom and sister." Night slips in, but Akanni couldn't sleep. All that he could think of was the letter the landlord gave him. Although he hasn't opened it yet because the landlord was extremely furious when he gave it to him, the mood he met him in was unprecedented. After giving much thought, he decided to open the letter. Hours passed, and Akanni was still awake and sweating profusely. He couldn't find the letter anywhere... where could it be? *He became confused.*

*Where could the letter be?*
