Adejoke

I slowly and nervously walked towards her.


"Follow me!" She said as she walked up the stairs to her apartment.


I walked inside, looking round the sitting room. the woman smiled, as she looked me from head to toe.


"Your complete name please" she said in a complete polite tone.


"Sorry... Adejoke Chiemelie Francis Onuigbo" I answered nervously.


"Yeah, Igbo and Yoruba" I said feeling a bit comfortable.


She dropped heavily on to sofa and giggled making her big bust quake like an earthquake.


I stood with my luggage poised to leave.


"Come on boy this is my house, you can live with us for the meantime" she said, her hands on my palm.


"And this wounds, what happened?" She said with a tone of concern.


"I was beaten up by some boys in the street,ma'am" I lied.


"Don't call me ma'am, you can call me by my name or call"mother" she said patting me on the shoulders.


Soon after, she got me food and drinks.


"You must be hungry soon, eat up". She said.


I was offered a chair and I ate the food hungrily.


Soon,i was done eating and she dropped the plates in the kitchen.


"Ma, how many kids, you got?" I inquired.


"I got three kids, 2 girls and a boy" she answered.


"My first daughter will be back today, she went to visit her sister in Nigeria, while my son is in school" she explained.


"Ohhh, you got the same age as my twins"


"But why do you say "My first daughter" and "second daughter?" I inquired.


"That's cause one got outta my womb first." She explained.


  I was really enjoying my stay in Bolgatanga. I liked the woman cause she was friendly unlike Ma, who would abuse you and shed tears.


"Would you take your bath, 'cause you stink already?" She said dropping into laughter.


"Yeah, sure!" I said quite embarrassed.


She showed me the bathroom, I went in with my towel and sponge. I whistled, danced, singing and talking to myself just to remind Mrs Maya, that I was in the bathroom and should keep off. I was done, I wrapped my towel round my waist and my sponge round my neck. 


And then I jerked the door open and guess what?


I saw her. The same girl I saw in the train, the same girl who almost killed me with her stare and the same girl I gave attitude to...


Ohhh,I was getting so uncomfortable,I took my sponge and covered the robust and muscular chest of mine.


"What are you doing here, Mr attitude?" She asked.


"Err..... Em...I got... an..... well, why do you wanna know and what are you doing here, huh???" I asked thinking she was also brought in by Mrs Maya.


"Err,, son, this is my first daughter, by name Eva" Mrs Maya introduced.


"Eva, this is Adejoke, he's from Nigeria and he got lost so I took him in" she explained.


"Nice to meet you!" I said tryna look innocent.


"Eva would you mind taking him to the empty room" Mrs Maya said giving me a smile.


I smiled back, I felt at home. I felt and wished that I was born into this lovely and friendly home.


"You know that bandage gonna smell, when wet" Eva said.


"Ok, I'll get your bag" she said heading to the living room.


It was such a big room, man, there was a standing fan close to the bed. I smiled. I really love this room.


"Mr arrogant here's your bag" she said leaving the room.


I dried my body, put on some essential oils Ma bought me and then put on my cloths. I went to the mirror stand and sat on the wooden chair opposite the mirror.


Give me a follow and leave me a comment.
