A week had passed since Temi and her parents had that conversation and ever since, both Father and Mother, and the three boys, including her, had made the remaining time at home interesting for her.
Yes, she ought to have arrived at campus...
That at Uni. but, her parents had postponed her flight till a week as they wanted to spend more time with their daughter and spend more time with her to give her a memory...or rather memories.
Because they aren't going to be there forever...
Whilst in the car that would take her straight to the airport, Temi decided to browse through her Instagram page, only to remember that she hadn't told her parents about the news of Olivia and Ethan yet.
But as she opened her Instagram page, she was greeted by a post...
'What's up, guys? Today, my boyfriend and I @ethanprice, have amazing news for you all! And it's gon' be related to you guys at the London Heathrow Airport (LHR)!!! That's right guys, it is happening!'
Below the post, in the bio, she wrote;
'Can't wait...So excited...!'
'Can you guys guess what it is?' She asked her followers to guess what the good news was about.
Looking into the comments, some people wrote;
'OMG! Good news? Is that what I hear...?'
'The above writer...sure is! Can't wait to tell y'all soon!''
'Stop fooling with us already, just tell us what it is!' One wrote impatiently.
'The above writer...Don't worry...chillax, the news won't exceed today... promise!' Olivia replied.
'What's in the bag? Could it be a wedding proposal? Cause if it's a wedding proposal, I'm all in for the cake...!' One wrote excitedly.
'The above writer...hahahahaha... you had me there...phew, thank God it was only a guess...!' Olivia replied as she posted up a smiley emoji.
'Is it your birthday? (gasps) are either of you getting hooked up...?'
'The above writer...Stop making lousy guesses...you dream too much...!' One writer wrote.
'The above writer...excuse me, but, do I know you? 'cause I can't recollect having to befriend someone as rude as you!' The previous commenter wrote.
'I don't know you either, but I just want to tell you that don't make your dreams go too wild...!'
'They don't have what it takes...!'
'The above writer...why would you say that? How dare you say that?' The commenter that wrote asked whether either Olivia or Ethan was getting hooked up, asked as she was already provoked.
'It could have been her birthday or anything else, why would you have to guess that...?'
'It's 'her' big news and she asked 'us' her fans and friends to guess what the big news was and that's what I did! You have no right to tell me to control my dreams, because, everyone encourages one another to dream big and let your imaginations grow wild...so you dare not tell me to control how I dream and what I dream...it's my life to live and not yours!' The provoked commenter wrote.
'If you're not a friend of hers and you're only here to cause trouble, then beat it, your opinions are not needed around here!'
After this was posted, the writer that had cautioned the latter writer to control her imagination went silent.
Then another post came up from the 'imaginary' writer.
'You'd better focus on your life and your dreams instead of poke nosing into innocent people's affairs...that is, if you have any life, dreams, and imaginations tho...!'
This had Olivia's Instagram page in an uproar as people began posting their emotions.
'Whoa oh oh oh...!' Some would write.
'The one that was insulted...you just go hide your face bruh...you just got fried...!'
'Why would you say such a thing?' Some would also write.
'People have different dreams that they would want to achieve in their lives...you have to respect it, not abuse it...it shows disrespect and lack of integrity!' Someone else posted.
Once the post went up, people agreed with what this particular commenter had written as they placed thumbs-up emojis with hearts to express themselves.
Temi smiled.
She was enjoying where this was going.
'The person that had insulted the 'cautioning' writer must be feeling proud of herself right now!'
Temi thought.
As she was about to turn off her phone entirely, she heard a soft 'Ding' from her phone...
As if she had gotten a message or something...
Turning on her phone, she went straight to her Instagram app and was about to go straight to Olivia's Instagram page when she discovered that the 'ding' alert was a notification 'to' her that someone had commented a response on Olivia's post.
Heading straight for the notification site, Temi saw that it was Olivia that had responded to her post.
Frowning, she tapped on it and read it.
'Hey guys, calm down...relax please...you guys all know that I don't like fights on my page...so we're just gonna resolve this one and for all and get the car on the road alright?' Olivia wrote.
'The previous writer, that was too aggressive...I only asked for you guys to 'guess' not to make a 'fuss', why would you go on around attacking people like that?' It is so uncalled for and please I demand an immediate apology to the sweet writer that had bravely defended herself...!'
'This is 'my' site and 'my' page and 'I' asked everyone and anyone to make a guess and that's what they were all doing...!'
'You don't have any right, that you had just displayed to start up something on 'my' page!' Olivia wrote.
From the tone of her written speech, people could tell that she was angry.
'It is unacceptable...can you please apologize!'
'Yeah, go Olivia...!'
'Tell 'em...the b*tch needs to be taught a lesson...you don't just come up here and ignite an old grudge into a new fire...!'
'The above writer...can you please not say that?' The girl that defended herself wrote.
'I 'do not know who this trouble is and I certainly am sure that that trouble doesn't know me either!'
'Whooooo...who would have thought that this kind sweet little girl could be so aggressive?'
Temi burst out laughing.
"Is something funny Miss Temi?" An old man asked.
Temi raised her head to look at who has called out to her.
Seeing the old man smile at her through the rearview mirror, she also smiled.
Shaking her head in negation, Temi said;
"No...it's just one stupid post from Instagram!"
The old man smiled.
As the old man smiled, lines formed by the sides of his eyes as wrinkles also appeared causing his eyeballs to go inside.
Returning the old man's smile, Temi turned her attention back to her phone as she continued to browse through.
The old man had been part of her life as he had been working with Temi's parents for over twenty years.
Witnessing when she was born, she had almost mistaken him for her Dad...
Plus, he had been her chauffeur for almost all her life as her parents trusted him more than any other person that they had...
Taking her anywhere she was going...
Was it to school...?
The grocery store...?
Trips...?
Name it...
He was always with her anywhere...!
Other than her parents though...!
He had been so close to her that even girls from her school always questioned why she always related with like as if he was someone of great importance.
Her answer had always been curt with a smile as she always said;
"I don't know, I just take him to be a part of my family I guess!"
And then they would all start laughing as they would point at her and call her a weirdo.
But that didn't bother her, because as far as she got her results and they all contained the highest grades, that was lol she needed.
She didn't care what anybody said.
Other than her parents (and God), she neither had any friends nor companions that she could relate to.
