CHAPTER 3

Joy: "A day without eating your banana, it's a wasted day" she breathes, stroking my bazooka through the pants, and unbuttoning her blouse

Me (coming to my senses): The way I'm lit, if I take you, we're not going to end quickly, then very early in the morning like this, it's not good.

Let hold on for the evening ...

Joy: "Phew" (sighing)

You are right, until this morning, you are too elegant; seeing you my goatee just flow in ink

Me (smile): You better get back to your normal air, and stop turning me on

Joy: Otherwise ...?

Me: Nothing; where are we on the Group Event contract

Joy: We're waiting for your signature

Me: After leaving here tell the secretary to bring them to me.

What are the programs today?

Joy: There is a meeting with all staff at 10:30 am. At 2 p.m., we have an appointment with the CEO of Luxurious.

Me: Ok, you can go now.

One minute ; Why you were calling me boss earlier when I passed you in your office

Joy (smile): "I was just trying to be professional like you asked me to" she said winking at me

Me: Later

Joy: Toutà, Kisses!

Me (smile): You there ... (smile)

IFÈ

10:01 am

Today is the market day of Eko Idumota (Lagos market), I am

I am reconciled to go there to make some purchases, since the provisions are already running out.

Having already bathing this morning, I decide to put a little water on my body to remove the smell of cooking.

I scratch the water from my while being in front of the mirrors when I notice that there are still the traces of Godwin's hands on my cheek, I run my hand there, which again made me cry at once.

Many will say to themselves why, I am still with him, why did I not leave him.

What these people don't know is that marriage is like a bee, it stings only once, the rest will be noise. That is to say, when you left from your first marriage , the probability is high that you end up in your homeless life, since after your divorce, you will seek to put yourself together with another, but you will eventually understand that the men are like African presidents, the old is always better than the new.

It is true that being dead homeless is also not a crime; but for the moment, I still stand, and I will always continue to fight for my marriage; may the Creator will help me.

I leave the bathroom, go into the bedroom, tie my hair up in buns, do a light makeup, not forgetting to put the foundation well to hide the fingerprints on my cheek.

I then spin a basin sewn in Senegalese style, then place a sunglasses

I shimmer, and it's perfect!

11:11 '

Me: Aboki (ahussa: my friend), the onion is how much a dozen

Him: It's one thousand and five hundreds naira last

Me: I pay two dozen for two thousand and tree hundreds naira

Unknown: Hi Madame Ogunwusi

Me: "Hi! Who are you please?" I say taking off my sunglasses

Unknown: I am Carlos; Carlos Johnson, I am one of Mr. Ogunwusi's employees, I saw you once at the company

Me: Ok, Achanté, but you should be normally at work by this time.

Carlos (smiling): Yes! Usually ! But, I asked for permission to be able to do some shopping, since I am single, and as you know market day is beneficial for shopping, since things are cheaper than other days

Me: You are absolutely right

Carlos: Can I take some selfies with you?

Me: No worries

I put on my glasses, and he takes his selfi.

Carlos: See you Madam

Me: See you

12:30 '

After I finish my shopping, I call a wheelbarrow to help me transport them to my car.

Me: Aboki zo (ahussa: my friend come on)

"How much you are going to take to transport this" I said designating my goods

Him: Five hundreds naira

Me: Kínì! (Yoruba : what is the thing!)

You can't take two hundreds naira?

Him: For God sake Madam, call another wheelbarrow

Carlos: "Aboki, wait" he said, reappearing again

You too haven't noticed that it's a woman, and you leave her under this hot sun and you know that there she can't see another wheelbarrow nearby either

Me: It's bad even

The wheelbarrow: Her money is five hundreds naira without negotiation

Carlos: Ok, it's good, get on board

Me: Carlos, don't stress yourself, I'll look for another one

Carlos: Madam, it's a favor, and I'm begging him, let me handle this

Me: Ok, as you want

The wheelbarrow carries the goods to the car. Carlos followed us there and even helped the wheelbarrow load them into the boot, then pay him.

Me: Thank you very much Carlos

Carlos: All the honor is yours Madam

Me: How much do I owe you now

Carlos (smiling): "Nothing, can I get your number?" He said and hand me his phone

Me: Why do that?

Carlos: Just to make friendly cuckoos and then

I take the cell phone then I write it to him

Me: But ... Ounhoun ...

Carlos (smiling): I'll be wise with it

See you Madam

He takes my right hand, and gives it a kiss before leaving, which really shocked me

Me (shocked): See you!

I watch him until he disappears.

8:20 p.m.

After I finish cooking, I do the dishes.

Godwin: "Houn houn houn" he said clearing his throat

Which makes me jump on the spot.

I turn, then I see him leaning against the wall with a distorted face, and eyes of fire

Me: When did you get home?

Godwin: Anyone who sees you now, they'll say you're innocent huh!

Me (panicked): What did I do again?

Godwin: Where were you today between 11am and 1pm?

Me: At the market

Godwin: With who?

Me: I were alone!

Godwin: "What about this one?" he asks showing me pictures on his cell phone, it was Carlos and me.

The photos were taken at every place we had seen each other: from the onion seller to the car.

Even where he kissed my hand.

The person was very close and took a picture of us.

Godwin: "I haven't received an answer yet, eh, who is that?" he vociferates

Me: He's one of your employees that I met in the market today

Godwin: One of what?

"Paf!" do I feel on the cheek

Godwin: Ifè, do you dare to cheat on me, and lie to my face again?

Yet another slap, and I fall to the ground....
