All of us in the room were dumbfounded. My mind raced all over the place trying to grasp an answer. Well, while my mind was racing all over, even as he was on his knee, Gloria began a thorough questioning session
“Are you gay, Femi?”
“Hell no, I heard all about that, and no, I haven’t become gay in Hollywood”
“Are you married, Femi?”
“Never been. Couldn’t quite settle into the American culture that well”
“Are you a woman beater? Do you have a child? Are you terminally ill or impotent?”
“No, No and Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeell No!”
“Are you…”
“I’ll need to think about this,” I interrupted Gloria, my own voice sounding very weak even to me.
“Of course. I’ll give you time to think. You can always reach me through Biola”.
“Who is Biola?” I asked, puzzled
“Your pastor is Biola to me,” he said with a slight chuckle as he finally stood up.
“Oh,” was all I could manage before he was out of the door and I shut it behind him. I turned around and it was just us again, me and my girls.
“So?” It was Toke. I raised my eyebrows and said “So you go first Toke.”
She shrugged her shoulders and responded without missing a breath “there’s nothing to go on about in my case. The man haff not wanna marry again, and I am not a small child so I’m gonna have the baby. And he can go and hug a wet transformer, cos I’m not having him anywhere my child.”
“Toke, are you sure…” Gloria queried. “I couldn’t be more certain,” she responded with a smile and then turned to me with a mischievous look on her face “So, so?”
“All those things Gloria asked him need to be confirmed first before I can even begin to consider”. Within minutes, Toke was on the internet and we had everything before us in black and white on Wikipedia and all the other places on the internet that keep such. No Femi wasn’t married, had never been married and didn’t have any children.
Much as I would like to trust Wikipedia with my future, I’d rather find out the old fashioned way. And unlike Femi, I didn’t try to clear up my mess-up with Hawt Pastor by using my friends. I picked my phone and called him. He seemed to have been waiting for the call, because he picked it on the first ring. His rich voice filled the room as I put him on speaker.
“Hello Oyin,” he said
“I’m really sorry about how…” I began but he cut in and cut me short on that
“It’s okay Oyin, I understand perfectly well how you felt. I take it that Femi has come to you to speak for himself, otherwise you wouldn’t be calling me.”
I suddenly felt very shy “Yes, he just left.” I responded.
“And?” he asked and I actually saw his eyebrow raised in my mind’s eye.
“Can I come and see you?” I asked
“What kind of pastor would it make me if I refused to see one of my own flock?”
“But I’m coming to see you, not as my pastor, but as Femi’s friend,” I stated
“Hmmm,” he mumbled. After a brief pause, he responded “Okay, I’m still in the office.”
With that, I hung up the call and we all jumped into my car (yes, they followed me, as they could not wait at home for gist, aproko that they are) and we were in church in minutes.
Moments later, I was knocking on Hawt Pastor’s office door the second time that day and again, he unhinged the door and opened it himself. “I see you brought the cavalry,” he said with a smile as he saw Toke and Gloria right behind me. Those girls en! “Y’all can come in though, there’s nothing we’ll say in this office that you’ll not be either bb-ing to each other online realtime or download as gist later, so you might as well hear it firsthand”.
We shuffled into his office like a file of schoolgirls and sat opposite his desk. This time, he went around to his own chair and sat facing us and then addressing me, he asked “so?”
Glo and I looked at Toke and laughed cos he just stole her line. “What?” he asked. “That’s Toke’s way of asking for gist,” I responded. “Ah,” he chuckled, “great minds think alike”
*cough cough* that was me.
“Femi proposed to me, and while I should be happy, I feel more of concern. I have a thousand and one reasons to be skeptical, and frankly, after my Yomi experience, I don’t even want to consider anyone except I know all there is to know about that person. Femi’s time in America is a black box to me, and his actions the last time we saw tells me he is a different person from the Femi I dated. So, pastor, I have a few questions for you.”
“Go ahead…” he responded
“First the basics. Any baggage? Is he or was he married? Does he have any kids? Any legal issues? Any reason, ulterior to desperately want to marry me?”
He clasped his hands and looked at me seriously for the first time that evening “He’s my friend and you are my church member. If I knew anything of that nature, I would have made sure Femi could never reach you a second time. Just so you know, after what he did the last time, we had a serious falling out. I’ve been friends with Femi for 27 years and it was the first time we quarreled that seriously. Because I felt he used the fact that you guys met again through me to win your trust so quickly and I don’t let my members be treated that way. We didn’t talk for over three months.”
He paused and walked over to his fridge “my manners, I didn’t offer you any drinks.”
I slapped him inside my head, which kind of interruption was that. Abi did I say I was thirsty ni. He took his time to bring the drinks and serve us and then went back to his seat. By this time I was literarily clawing my thigh but I kept a calm face in order not to fall hand.
“He called me around your wedding time and after apologizing to me and all, he began to continually ask if I could help him set a meeting up again. He was very disappointed when I told him you were getting married but he did not rest it. He almost came into Nigeria around that time to, in his words, fight for your hand. I firmly told him not to, since you had decided to marry Yomi.”
I let my mind roll to what would have happened if Femi had appeared at that time. I would probably have rubbed Yomi all over his face really. It was a good thing he hadn’t come.
He continued “I didn’t tell him the story of how the wedding went until about two weeks ago. When he heard you were still single, this time he didn’t bother to tell me he was coming. He simply appeared in my house. And it took him a week of convincing me he really is serious before I reached out to you. So in my opinion, and with how well I know Femi, he has never been more serious about anything.”
When he finished speaking, the room was quiet and all the eyes, including Toke and Glo where now firmly on me.
I only hesitated a moment. “Yes,” I said, as a smile rose from inside me and spread across my face. “Yes, I will marry Femi”.
And everyone in the room jumped for joy.
We did not get married immediately. Femi had been gone for years and I knew he would have changed, and I guessed he still carried the image of me of back then in his head, I have changed too. About three months later, Oyin Clegg became Oyin Omotosho in a very small, private ceremony. Hawt Pastor joined us and the only dramatics was from my mama. She dance pass me that day sef.
And as things happen, we didn’t know that the “so?” joke of the day had started something. But start something it did. Hawt Pastor and Toke are dating! Yes. There’s drama around that though, but it’s not in Finding Hubby. Suffice to say that church members and elders did not take kindly to the fact that their pastor was courting a pregnant woman.
Gloria eventually relocated to UK. She thought it was the best thing for her to do since the pressures to marry were less there. She tells me she will eventually adopt a kid and she seems pretty happy.
All in all, I learnt that everything good will indeed come.
Thanks for reading and enjoying Finding Hubby for the past 6 months. It’s been a joy to write this series. A new series, Tricia’s Nightmare starts next Monday and you can be sure that it will keep your Mondays as exciting as the delectable Oyin Clegg (sorry Tosh) has. Now, since Oyin’s story ends today, I decided to post a snippet of Golden Sand for you today. Golden Sands would become available for sale on Monday October 15. Do not sleep on a bicycle. Plan to buy. And I’ll be somewhere close to you to read from Golden Sands, sign (and sell) books and discuss your thougts on Oyin Clegg. Once again, thank you, arigato!

finally………happy for them girls. this should be a lesson for every one. somewhere in the world, this piece is a true life story and its happening here in Lagos. It’s well with us
Tunde Leye, to be honest, this was not the ending I expected for such a hit series like this!!! The ending was very bland and not intriguing at all! I think you had lost the plot weeks ago!! It would have been nicer if you had made the last few episodes a bit longer, sustained momentum and retained followership (I might not be as addicted to Tricia’s Nightmare) by have a spectacular ending. This episode in particular seemed to potray you as being tired of writing (You were probably suffering from writers block….lol) Anyways, the next series awaits, please emphasize quality over quantity! I aint no hater oooo… Just giving you my 2cents!
Pls allow me thank you for keeping us all entertained for the past six months… 🙂 Cheers!
@ Moi, This was the best way to end. Oyin has had so much drama in the past, that a quiet wedding was expected and a brief into Toke and Glo’s life after. Afterall, na Oyin dey find hubby. Well done TL, looking forward to Tricia’s Nightmare!
:’) such a wonderful story….I miss the power puff girls/3 musketeers already tho *sniff sniff*
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. One word » Fantamawonderfuloawesome

I’ve been following this series since the third episode and i actually read it all from episode 1 to the end today (i’m a critic) to find if you were just one nollywood writer that decided to toy with our minds by making it weekly. but I must say, u are amazing, u paid attention to details, infact no words to describe this piece, altho there were a lil errors but just minute ons so i’ll give you 99/100. keep it up. can’t wait for Tricia’s nightmare.
Cool>>>cant wait for the next 1.
Cool…can’t wait for the next 1

*screaming* I have been reading this story since morning and I just realized that TL is a guy. Clap for yourself how did you get into the head of woman to know how ‘some women’ think?

okies its fiction
Wow! So intriguing, captivating and interesting. I just stumbled on this blog and read the whole episodes. Very good write up, kudos to u.
So captivating, I had a wonderful time with these series, couldn’t stop till I read d whole series. Its a job well done.
Whao! What a great story! I can’t wait to read more. #thumbsup Tunde Leye
Very interesting story in plain English; a story line any average Nigerian could relate with. I am glad I was spared all the suspense because I read all episodes today. Thumbs up ‘Leye, you are indeed a good writer. Keep it up!
Ur simply an incredible writter wao! Bravo!
TL……..!!!!!!!!! You have officially won me over with this one! (Gosh y did I discover this blog this late… better late than never) I am completely blown away by the ‘originality’ of this story! Anyone can relate to it. Such creative writing! It has a ‘matching’ title, awesome storyline, followed a sequence, filled with suspense, so intriguing, thrilling, captivating…(I cld go on)… and a brilliant ending! This story should be adapted into a movie I tell you; it would SELL! (Omotola as Oyin, Yvvone Okoro as Toke and Stella D as Gloria 😀 ) just saying oo 😀
I felt like I was seeing a movie in my mind! Its a good thing I read all episodes at once; can’t begin to imagine how waiting for ‘next’ episodes week in week out would have felt for me in those six months the series ran. He who reads last reads best! 😀 *Standing ovation with a resounding round of applause* WELDONE!
There’s a difference between having talents and knowing how to use them. I just read the whole piece. I must say you are blessed TL. Please, keep blessing us with your talent. Kudos
