013

I was hurt. This time, I was angry. I was angry at a friend I trusted so much. A friend on whose shoulders I had always cried and sought comfort. A friend I could sacrifice anything for. But this friend had now turned to hurt me, by sleeping with my ex behind my back.

Yes it has been two years since I broke up with Dayo. But he was still my ex. Temi knew how much I still loved him. How could she stoop so low to dating and sleeping with a man I had loved so much. I could not believe she had been hiding it from me all this while.

Temi was pretending to nurse my broken heart, and wipe the tears from my eyes, while in reality she was behind the tears I cried. No wonder Dayo broke up with me for no reason. I guess he could not stand dating two friends.

At that moment, it dawned on me that all this while, Temi had always been jealous of me. She had always been envious of my relationship with Dayo. On several occasions, she wished she was me. I felt so disappointed in her.

My heart sought revenge. I wanted to make Temi feel the pains I felt. I felt like walking right through the gates and landing a thunderous slap to her face. But then, confronting Temi was useless. It was only going to end up in an argument and a futile fight with her. I had known Temi to well, to know that she was not a person to be sorry when she does anything wrong.

I bit my lips with my teeth, and hit the steering wheels angrily. Temi had stolen the one man I loved and deserved to feel same. I needed revenge for all three of them, Dayo, Temi and Alex. I wanted to bring them pains without killing any of them. I wanted them to cry a bitter cry.

At that point, I immediately thought about to General Abdullahi; Temi's sugar daddy. I remembered how he had always lusted after my body. As a man in charge of the army, he was in a better position to give me the revenge I craved for. I was going to use him to teach Dayo, Alex and Temi a lesson. I will make them regret ever crossing parts with a woman like me. They will pay for their actions and for all the pains they had caused me. I picked my hand bag and pulled out my phone. Quickly, I dialled General Abdullahi's number. "My baby, My baby" General Abdullahi's voice echoed coarsely through the phone. "Hello General." I spoke sweetly, with my neck slightly tilted to the side. "Kai Kemi. I swear your voice is very sweet pa. Very very sweet." we"Thank you General. Hmmm General can I see you later today?" I asked in a rather urgent tone.

"Today! E get any problem? Is their wahala?" (Today! do you have any problem, Is there trouble?) He asked worriedly.

"No General. I just wish to see you, I want to discuss something with you, but I need somewhere secret to talk with you."

General Abdullahi laughed and cleared his throat. I imagined him robbing his pot belly just the way he usually did when he laughed.

"Toh! secret ko? (oh! secret) Will you come to my hotel so we talk it? I think that place is very secret. We can talk any secret better there." "No problem Alhaji. What time shall I meet with you there?" I asked. "Meet me by 6pm today ko. I will be there."

General Abdullahi and I laughed as we both ended the call.

I turned on the engine of my car and sped off. I had now become a very hurt and desperate woman, angered by the action of the ones she truly loved.

I had made up my mind to see General Abdullahi.
