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.
