(Alex with his four friends including Arin are drinking in a restaurant. Alex looks at his wristwatch and it is 4.08pm)
Arin: you are going to have to accept that she is not coming Alex
Alex: she promised me she was going to come, something must have happen. I am sorry guys
Colin: (smiling) it is fine, we know how busy your wife is
Femi; (his face lightens up when he sees Rere come in) there she comes (the others sees Rere coming)
Rere: (smiling as she sits when she gets to them) I am so sorry guys, work happened
Bola: it is fine, we know how busy you are
Rere: thank you for understanding (faces Alex) hey babe
Alex: (without looking at her) hey
Rere; so why haven’t you ordered for food?
Bola: we decided to wait till you come before we order
Colin: (in a loud voice) waiter (a young lady comes to them and they order their food)
Rere: so Alex told me that you and Femi are going back tomorrow
Femi: yes, my family misses me
Colin: and I have a lot of work to do
Rere: what about you Bola?
Bola: there is still something I have to take care of
Colin: does those thing include a girl?
Rere: (surprise) oh my God, you found a girl in Nigeria
Femi: you should see her, she is beautiful
Alex: and smoking hot
Rere: Alex?
Alex: (laughing) I am sorry
Rere: I thought you guys rarely have time to even eat how on earth did you see a girl? (They burst into laughter)
Colin: ask him that will you?
Bola: Arin is staying back too, why are you not hounding her?
Alex: that is because she is staying here permanently, you are not
Rere: you are staying?
Arin: yes, it feels good to be home and….. (Rere phone rings and she sees Roti’s name)
Rere: this is work, I have to take it
Arin: of course it is work
Colin: where are your manners Arin?
Femi: please go ahead and pick your call (Rere leaves and comes back after two minutes)

Bola: it is fine, go
Colin: it means a lot to us that you honoured our invite even with your busy schedule
