***
Another 5 months had gone by and today Dennis was playing with his children on the rug. He made funny sounds which made them giggle. Ulo looked on in admiration. It was nearly a year and tomorrow was going to be a big day for her.

She had an interview with a company on the island. She didn’t want to expect too much; little steps they say go a long way. She was grateful she had been shortlisted and was willing to work hard in order to revive a career she had only dreamt of.

Suddenly, she realized her husband had still not given her the marriage certificate. It was somewhere in his bedroom and because all her educational certificates were in her maiden name, it was important she included the former for events of this nature. She made a mental note to hold on to it, in order to avoid such delays in the future.

Then she cleared her throat and spoke softly, ''dear remember the certificate, I need it tonight. Remember we've spoken about this already.''

Dennis sighed like she was asking for the world. He tried to get up but obviously had a change of heart and spat out ''you are just wasting your time with this interview thing? The kids are here now. They need you more than ever before. I can't get up to look for that thing check the wardrobe or the drawers. It's somewhere around.''

She took everything he said with a pinch of salt. Nothing on earth was going to prevent her from attending the interview.

''The key please'' she said stretching out her hand. He searched his pocket and threw it on the ground. The children turned and looked in her direction; the sound of the key had startled them and the older one began to cry. Ulo picked the key and walked out without a word.

Really? LOL

q

The interviewers smiled and nodded as she spoke however, there was a slender white woman who had an indifferent look on her face. She was slim like a model and she had wispy blonde hair on her head. She had not asked a single question but was staring at Ulo’s CV with the concentration of a surgeon.

It seemed like she had a special role to play in the panel and this was confirmed when the only man in the group cleared his throat and addressed her ''Madam I think it's your turn''

Suddenly the white lady began asking questions in rapid French. Ulo was completely at ease and began chatting in fluent French while the other members of the panel looked on in admiration.

It took less than 7 minutes before the white woman finally smiled and this was followed by handshakes and the promise of a follow up call.

The white lady personally saw Ulo out of the building and asked more questions about how she learnt French and her time in Cameroun.

Coincidentally, she had lived there for years before moving to Nigeria. She seemed impressed and told Ulo her French was the best she had heard all week.

Ulo got into the back seat of her car exhausted but happy. The driver started the ignition as they headed back to the mainland.

q

Ulo was stunned, Dennis was watching her carefully from the moment she began speaking in French. He was always cautious whenever she spoke French with her sisters or mother but she never complained when he spoke to his relatives in his native language.

Ulo was so happy she didn’t notice the look on her husband's face ''I can start this minute but I'd be reasonable and say next week Monday.''

''I got the job!'' She shouted the moment she got off the phone, ''they said I can pick up my letter of employment tomorrow!''

Dennis chewed his food slowly while watching her ''you are joking right? We have spoken about this from the word go. You knew nothing would come out of it but you insisted on the interview. The children are …''

Ulo shook her head in disbelief ''I don’t believe you! Over eight years out of work, now I get one and that's all you can say? Not even congratulations to begin with. C'mon now, you want to talk about from the word go? Then let's talk about where you first met me. Yes, behind a reception desk but I was working and happily earning my peanuts. You never told me you would have issues with your wife working. You sprang that on me, the moment we got married.''

Dennis pushed his plate aside ''Ulo you know my stance on this issue, you can speak all the grammar you want, but I won't change my mind.''

She laughed and continued ''but I don’t need you to change your mind. I've made up my mind and I am telling you what I will do. You can't and will not stop me this time. I want my independence back, I want my sense of self worth and I want what you took from me. I am taking baby steps but by God, I will get there someday.''

Then she began sobbing in anger ''you have held me down long enough and I refuse to remain there. I didn’t leave the University as the best graduating student for nothing. I didn’t have a distinction in vain; my parents didn’t send me on those foreign trips for nothing. I won't take no for an answer this time.''

Dennis spat whatever he was chewing back into the plate and knocked it to the ground.

''Look at this woman! Look at the way you are crying, making a mountain out of a mole hill. If someone walks in now, they would think I am about to strangle you. You want the devil to use you on this fine day eh? Some women would give anything to trade places with you because there is nothing you lack. You name it: frequent trips abroad, a comfortable home, cars, cloths, jewellery- shame on you! Before you breathe, you know I give you. God has been faithful and blessed us with children and yet you refuse to bring them up?''

q

Dennis narrowed his eyes as the unspoken resounded clearly while Ulo stared at him, defiant as ever. He calmly walked out without a word. However, Dennis who was never one to give up had a change of heart and walked back almost immediately. ''I know nothing about all you just said. Your accusations are baseless and it is news to me. Give me time to think about your request.''

She said nothing in reply. This was a battle she had won already. She would give him the small respect of thinking he still had the final say although but they both knew he had lost.

Her husband still had his pride intact. He would rather die than admit he was not the father of her children. She was not a fool either; there could be implications for her as well.

She didn’t intend to use this to her advantage ever again. Besides, she said nothing and he admitted nothing. That was the purpose of the joker and it had achieved the desired result.
