Chapter Five

Martha rushed back home with an excitement in her body she hadn’t felt in years, and just a little amount of fear. Today had gone far better than she had expected, but even more, she had gotten Alex to do something- and ended up further complicating her life.

She had tried to numb down on her excitement since she left the house ,but it was proving almost impossible. She felt like a teenager once again, and while that left a bubble inside her, it also made her feel a bit conscious. She didn’t want to go in over her head with this man for various reasons, not only was he totally out of her league, there was also the fact that he lived in another city entirely and would soon have to leave Abuja. When eh got back to Lagos, he would be reunited with the women there and would soon enough forget about her.

That thought was enough to douse her excitement just a little as she finally reached her house and went in. she locked up the gate and headed toward the building, where she found her father sitting in the veranda.

She slowed down her steps and smiled at her father, “Papa, mmekom o.” (Good evening)

He returned her smile, “mmekom eyen mi, idem mfo abadie?” (Good evening my daughter, how are you?)

“Idem mfo o” (I’m fine)


“Utom ake abadie?” (How was work?)

“It was fine, sir.” She responded, her smile reaching her ears when she remembered just how fine work had been today. Easily the best day of work for her since she began this job.

Her father nodded, “That’s good to hear, welcome oooh.”

“Thank you sir.” She stated once again, she made a move to walk past, and then decided to ask for her mother’s whereabouts, “Papa, where is mama?” she asked. It was only fitting that she take the success story of her latest trial to the person who had come up with the plan to begin with

“Aye mmoba ke esid ufok, I think she’s arranging some of the goods she received today.” (she’s inside)

“Okay, thank you sir.” She said, that damned grin refusing to leave her face.

Her father’s expression took on a confused form as she walked past him, “Martha.” He called just before she stepped into the house.

“Sir?”

He observed her for a while before asking, “Adodie abadie?” (Are you alright?)

She figured at that point, that her smile probably made her look a little out of it, so, she forced it back a little before responding, “Afon.” She responded.

He seemed like he wanted to ask more, but she didn’t stay any longer, to avoid whatever interrogation he had planned for her. She went into the house and headed straight for her parent’s room, giddy with excitement.

She knocked at the door and barely allowed her mother respond with her usual ‘Come in.” before bursting into the room, “Mummy, you’re a genius!” she exclaimed as soon as she was inside, she closed the door behind her and rushed to her mother’s side.

Edith looked a bit surprised at her daughter’s entrance and confused as well, “Ahn ahn, Martha, this one you are so excited, how was work?”

“He kissed me.” She blurted out.

Her mother’s eyes widened dramatically, “Ewurade!” she exclaimed as she moved the pile of Kente she had been taking stock of aside and focused on Martha, “Tell me all about it.” she said

“Well, I did as you said, paid him no attention and was as civil as you suggested. At first I thought it wasn’t working because he wasn’t flipping out on me or anything like that, then this afternoon, when I brought his father out for lunch, that’s when it happened….mama, it was so much better than I imagined. Alex is everything.”

“Calm down Juliet, no need to get all jumpy because of this man. Did he say anything to you?”

“It’s not what he said mama, it’s what he does. There’s this intensity about him, I can’t explain it, but, he doesn’t have to say much, he just does these things….” Her words flittered away, she found herself unable to describe Alex’ ways to her mother. He wasn’t like any of the men she was used to, there was no brashness in his ways. He was a man of actions and boy, did those actions make her head spin

Edith raised her brows in surprise as a smile brightened her face, “Darling, it sounds like you’re in love with this man.” She observed. She had never seen her daughter so love struck over anyone. It wasn’t like Martha to be all googly eyed over a man, she had had some crushes when she was younger, but none of them had ever been like this and she was no child.

Martha sighed and buried her face in her hand, hiding her goofy smile, “I don’t know mama, I don’t know what I feel for him. I just know I like him a little too much.”

Edith smiled and took Martha’s hand, “Well, I’m happy for you my child, and I pray you continue to have more reasons to smile and glow like this, but I want you to always remember to protect your heart. Never get too involved in your feelings especially with a man like your boss’ son who could be out of your life in a few days. I don’t want to see you get hurt.”

Those solemn words from her mother brought to fore, her own reservations about what she was feeling right now and caused her smile to falter. The truth in those words weren’t lost on her and while she wanted to live in the moment and not worry about the consequences of falling for a man who lived hundreds of kilometers away, a small part of her was still hopeful that even if Alex had to go back to Lagos, maybe, she would leave an effect strong enough to have him coming back for her.

However, for now, she nodded at her mother’s words, “I understand mama.”
