I was just joking around.



Shola entered. I knew there was trouble. She headed straight for Ben.
'You are mad', she shouted. And moved towards yet did nothing. She looked at his eyes and retracted.
I wondered why he stood looking at her.
'You areca bastard', she shouted again and moved towards him.
Why was he not talking? I wondered.
She held his cloth and dragged it. ' you nincompoop'.
He shook his head and I knew there was more to more than the eye can meet.
He gently used his hand to ward her off.
'I'm coming back for you', she shouted and left towards the boutique.
His eyes widened. I swallowed as I wondered what was wrong with my neighbour.
He had abused Shola, the owner of Rich Beauty boutique. And had even fought her. He dragged her outside until he received a phone call. And he left her.
I even thought he was mad.
Now, as she left his side, he opened his mouth, widened his eyes, and swelled. I perceived he held his breathe.
She opened the door and the shop exploded.
'Noooi' He shouted and ran towards the shop but another explosion rocked the place and threw him back, making him go unconscious.
He knew something. I was sure.
