The Cat (version One) by wazupguy(m): 11:06am On Jan 02, 2016 |
He looked in the bag and saw a pair of green gbemisoke shoes. Gbemsioke is a renowed shoe designer in the whole of lagos city. The brand of her shoes is seen to be worn locally and internationally, it even flocked online stores such as jumia, konga, kaymu. Due to this popularity, the shoes were very expensive and ladies will die to have those shoes on their legs or in their wardrobe. Dave was suprised to see the shoe in amaka's bag, his wife, he was searching for his car keys when he came across it. Amaka had once told him that she would like to get those shoes, after seeing an advert placement by jumia. He quickly checked out the website for the cost of the shoe; it was #50,000. He further checked the bag and saw a wrapper with jumia boldly printed on it and the shoe tags and receipts. How did she get it? he thought; However, he remembered that he gave her that same amount in the morning which said she wanted to use to get foodstuffs for the house. Dave rushed to the kitchen to see if she bought anything, but it was as empty as it was in the morning. He's curiosity increased, and started suspecting that he's wife used the money meant for food to acquire shoes. That thought was unbelievable and absurd too. He went out to check the car perhaps she had not carried the foodstuff in, he ransacked everywhere and not even a cube Maggi did he find. "It was getting serious" And Amaka was at that time in the bathroom taking a shower. Dave went in and waited for her, she soon finished and came adjusting her towel. Dave stood there with the shoes at his right hand and the wrapper and receipt on the left. Amaka was shocked at the same time curious why her husband was going through her stuff. She collected it jokingly and kept it back, but Dave was not in the joking levels. That act even inspired his anger, he started questioning Amaka how she came by the shoes. She felt reluctant in answering so she continued what she was doing. This made Dave more angry, he started yelling at her and accusing her of acquiring those shoes using the money meant for foodstuff. It became dawn on amaka that this matter had gone far than expected, so she humbly tried to explain to her enraged husband how she came by the shoes. Dave wasn't ready for an explanation as he had come to a conclusion that his wife was extravagant in her spending. Amaka still trying to justify herself, went to get her phone: she started browsing through it like she wanted to show Dave something but Dave snatched it from her; she had already went to the message box before Dave collected it from her. He saw a messaged sent by jumia, this inspired his assumption so he opened it ; it reads Congrats dear"Amaka, you are a Lucky winner of a pair of green Gbemisoke shoes, dinner for Two at genesis resturant Please, do come to our office to Claim your prize." After reading it, Dave became ashamed of himself, and now the table has turned to his wife direction has continued from were her husband left but the difference was that hers was justifiable and she left afterwards. He was at the same time confused, what of the foodstuff? He thought! The doorbell rang, Dave went to get it. A man was standing with a book on his hand; I am asking after Mrs Amaka Boniface, he said, I am a delivery man from www.foodstuff.com he added. Foodstuff.com is an online grocery store were one can place order on foodstuffs; Amaka approached Dave and the delivery man she signed a booklet and he gave her a package and receipt, it was the foodstuff she had ordered, she brought out her purse and counted #50,000 in front of her husband and paid the delivery man. Afterwards, Amaka stuffed the receipt into Dave's pocket angrily and left. He brought it out, Amaka had ordered for the foodstuffs two days back and it was supposed to b delivered to her the current day. The cat has been let out of the bag, curiosity has being proven with fact not sentimental assumption or guessing. felt sorry for his stupidity. Perhaps if he had listened to his wifd the way abraham listened to sarah things would have resulted differently. without putting facts into consideration and most of all instead of asking or allowing his wife to explain, he said so many things he should not have said. Now he has to deal with what he dreaded saying most "I am sorry" all because of gbemisoke shoes. |
