Abímbólá travelled to Ado-Ekiti, She told her sister she want to stay in Ado-Ekiti and need a house to stay.

Olutayo wasn't in support of her, leaving her husband, but Abímbólá told her sister, She is human.

Olutayo understand Abímbólá now and is ready to help her, she helped Abímbólá to get a house.

Abímbólá had previously shown her interest in the business Olutayo and Oye are doing and now... She need a shop.


However, there was no vacant shop at the sawmill in which Olutayo and her husband stays. So through one of Oye's friends, Baba Karimu.
They got a shop at Olorunsogo plank market.

Unlike the Sawmill, where Olutayo and Oye are, where logs of trees are been cut, trimmed to planks and produce for sale, Olorunsogo sawmill is a plank market.

People at the Plank Market buys planks from the sawmill and bring it to their shops, to sell, so buyers like the Furnitures, Carpenters and others come to them and buy from them.

Abímbólá got her shop and began to sell planks in the market, she buys it from Irewolede sawmill where her sister and her husband works.

After a week, Abímbólá sent a letter to James.

In the letter, Abímbólá thank James for his love for her in spite everything, she sent her greetings to Bunmi and her twins, to Mama Agba and other members of the family.
However, she told James that she now reside in Ado-Ekiti. She told James about her new business and gave her address. She told James that she is still his wife and will forever be his wife.

Meanwhile, James was wondering why Abímbólá hasn't return back home after a week, but when Bunmi told him how much of her things she took along, James understand that she could be staying longer than a week.

In the second week after Abímbólá left, James received the letter Abímbólá, sent and was shocked.


The next day, James traced Abímbólá with the address she gave in the letter.

James arrived in Ado-Ekiti, he finds Abímbólá's house but she wasn't at home she was at the plank market.

He was directed to her shop at the plank market by her neighbour.

When he got to the Market, he was looking around but couldn't see her, he then asked of help from one of the traders at the market who lead him to Abímbólá's shop.


Abímbólá was sitting on a bench and was watching some groups of men in a shop, very close to her as they discuss, talk and argue about issues. From politics to traditional rulers, communities and even the market where they are.

The truth is there is always something to talk about for them as they assemble together when there is no customer coming and when there is no light to operate the machines, and... Their discussions are always interesting.

Other people are seen in the market, some are either sleeping, eating, attending to customers, having a discussing or playing since there was no electricity power at the moment.

James greets some of the traders as he followed, Baba Yomi, one of the traders in the market who lead him to Abímbólá's shop.

James saw Abímbólá where she was sitting,When Abímbólá saw him, she was surprised.

James thanked Baba Yomi and Abímbólá thanked him too, Baba Yomi left but not after greeting other people in the next shops.
