Relief washed through the entire length of me as my phone lit up with Tobi's call.
It was as if a dead weight had been lifted off of my chest making me feel so much lighter.
My mind buzzed with all the questions I wanted to ask.
Was he going through something?
Was he hurt?
Did any family-related issues occur?
Did I do something wrong for him not to pick up my numerous calls?
I eventually settled with an uncertain "Hi" just as I picked up the phone.
"Hey, Chisom. How are you doing?"
The sound of his voice immediately brought a sense of calm into me.
How I had missed that voice.
"I'm fine and what about you?" I asked.
"I'm very well," He said.
A long pause followed. I wasn't sure of what to say and I didn't want to bombard him with questions that stemmed from my jealousy and insecurity.
"So, long time, no talk...are you alright?" I enquired, genuinely concerned.
