Re: My Husband......... by Flakkydagirl: 5:34am On Jan 14, 2015
Good Morning.

I hate to do this but I don't have a choice,I'm tired of apologising everyday,I've explained that I'm busy these days,or you guys think I like this work unfinished?


No,I want to get done with it,but where is the time?Each time I see a reader complaining about my epileptic update,it hurts me.Nevertheless I understand how it feels refreshing a page for two weeks without an update.

Perhaps this style will work,and that is if you guys will not crucify me asking me to update more. if you guys would not mind me dropping 5000 to 7000 letters per day.

I'm still trying to figure out,how I'll squeeze up time anyway..- need you to agree with that...

Hello everyone its smartshadow. I am currently using a friends nairaland account
Some of you might have read my novel(complicated desire).
Well thanks to the wise and mature minded moderators(and truly I say this with the highest level of sarcasm there is), I have been banned from this section and my work has been moved to sexuality section.
I must say that I wasn't by any means warned or alerted about this decision
It pains my heart because not only have I invested valuable time in writing this book, but there are nairalanders who have been following, supporting and enjoying my work.

It goes to show that its not everyone who can use a computer that actually has common sense.
I am in no way going to continue writing the novel because what inspired me to write in the first place was because I wanted to share in the intelligence and talent of writers and readers in this section.

So to everyone that has encouraged my work and who have been supportive, I say a big thank you.

Re: My Husband......... by Flakkydagirl: 7:27pm On Jan 20, 2015
Its another short update as usual..pls bear with me.


......
Adetoun glanced at the screen of her phone,she touched the silent button and continue to stare at the ceiling fan,She sat propped up on the bed her arms on her leg,she wore her hair down,with minimal make up on her face.If she was thinking it wasn't obvious due to the way,the magazine was spread on her leg.

She turned the pages absent mindly,staring at the pictures and the words,she saw her phone blinking again,she didn't pick the call for loss of what to say to her caller.

Priye had been calling non stop and he was beginning to get on her nerves with his frequent calls,she picked her phone and switched it off,she looked up when the door open.It was Rekia ,she was wearing a blue pinafore over a white fitted top,on her feet were a pair of flipflop.
"Babe." She called coming to seat by her on the bed,she brought out a set of necklace from her purse,stretching it towards her friend.

Toun collected it and examined it,"This is beautiful." She said fixing it around her neck,they were a necklace,bangles,earring made of delicate white stone."And I'm sure this must cost a lot,you don't have a job and yet you buy the most expensive things money can afford."

Rekia smiled,"All thanks to God and my late parent,anyway that's a story for the Gods o.How about we do lunch?"

Toun declined the offer on flimsy excuses to which her friend did not agree,after some persuasive words she surrendered.Rekia located a new African kitchen that opened of recent where they had a sunptous meal of pounded yam and egusi soup with palmwine to step down,the restaurant looked good,classy just the way she liked it and their meals palatable.They were about to leave but another car was blocking theirs.They had to inform the attendants who announced the plate number so that the owner could move it so as to make way for theirs,it was a surprise when Ade sauntered outside,he looked quite handsome in a brown tailored material and shoe to match.

He embraced Adetoun and carefully explained why he had not call,which was because he got robbed at gunpoint later that evening,his car,phones and other accesories were snatched from him,stating this as an excuse he quickly produced a phone from his pocket.Adetoun saw that it was a new one,which made her believe his story and why would he tell a lie anyway.she stored Hannah's number first and then hers.

"I know you have a lot of question to ask,but this is not the place to do that." Ade smiled,embracing Adetoun again before driving out his car to make way for theirs.He waved as the ladies zoomed off.If only he could back the hands of time,his heart raced quickly at the thought of a name that rang in his heart.Hannah.


Adetoun made good use of the journey home to gist rekia,not leaving out any detail on how things existed between Hannah and Ade and how things finally collapsed.Rekia only contributed a word or two,they were almost home now.


.........

It was a very bitter friday when the remains of Lucy was placed in the heart of mother earth,her parents and family were there all clothed in black and shades.But Taliroyce was no where to be found.Even though she couldn't find him among the wellwishers,she knew he would be somewhere crying out his heart.She looked at Lucy's baby standing quietly beside her grandmother and she felt nothing but pure pity for the boy.Jane had cried more than the bereaved,this was because,she thought she could and should have helped her friend a long time ago.


But what could she do when Lucy denied her offer of assistance,she wept day and night after the incidence and this was beginning to get at her husband who had tried to comfort her to which his effort were not appreciated.She sniffled again,wiping the back of her palm across her nose,she picked the kleenex by the bedside.Everywhere she went,all she saw was Lucy pleading with her to speak to her mother not to punish her husband.

It sounded odd and it was beginning to drive her crazy the things she imagined,she needed to speak with Lucy's mother as soon as possible,and she didn't want to bother the grieving mother.she felt a tap lightly on her shoulders,she must have dozed off again,it was her husband.He was draped in his pyjamas.he held a tray containing bread jam,pepper ketch up,tea and a piece of watermelon in his hands.he placed it on the bedside stool,his eyes not leaving his wife.

"You should eat something now." He said,his eyes were cool and his hands gentle on her skin as he helped her out of her clothe.Jane was surprised to see her kids at the other end of the bed,fast asleep.Eve had her legs all over her brother's body.She got into the shower,and the warm water did a lot to soothe her heavy heart.By the time she was out,her kids had been carried to their room.Jane had a silent dinner in bed.


She heard voices or so she thought,but then she listened again,she couldn't have been mistaken,she pulled a shirt on and hurried down the flight of stairs.alas she was right,the voices had been coming from the sitting,her husband and one other man,Toye.

"Hey dear." Toye made to cross over the space between himself and Jane,but Jacob would not let hik,he kicked the stool and it stopped in front of his wife,his eyes throwing daggers at his wife.

"Toye this is a bad time,maybe later." Jane said forcing a smile.she placed her hands on the rail of the stairs,eyes closed.

Toye kicked the stood away furiously,and quickly grabbed Jane,"What happened to you? Did he harm you?" He asked in anger looking Jacob.

Jane disentangle herself from him,"I'm fine." A fine tear escaped down her face.Jacob must have done his calculations right,as two hard punches landed on toye's face breaking his nose in the process,blood streamed down his lips.jane came in between the making Toye to miss the third punch.

Jacob was fuming,"How dare you touch her." He shouted,his face was hard and his fist curled in a punch.

Toye looked from an angry husband to a wife who's eyes pleaded for mercy,he wiped the blood away from his lips and walked out with Jane running after him,she was pleading with him not to get mad.

At that instant,Jacob looked at his fist and rained heavy blow on the wall,he rushed up the stairs and grabbed his car key,charging down blindly,he rushed out and kick started the car,he was out in a minute almost hitting his wife as he drove away.

.........
Hannah carefully opened the blind to peep at the person knocking,she was surprised to find two men at the door,she quickly ran inside to call Rekia,who also peeped at the two men.

"What could have happened?". Hannah whispered into Rekia's ear.the other let out a silent hiss pulling her shorts tighter,"How can I know?this is strange to begin with,I'm not even prepared for a brawl this evening."

Another knock came on the door,it seemed the callers were growing impatient now,as one of them gently stamped his shoe against the ground."But Hannah informed us that it was Priye who asked to see her."

"What do you think we should do?" Rekia asked folding her hands across her chest.


Hannah sighed,"You open the door,while I get Toun,I think she's even ready." She put her words to action,while Rekia ushered the men in.It was quite an awkward moment when Toun arrived the sitting room,wearing a brown leggings over long white blouse and white sandals clutching a purse.she looked from one brother to another in surprise,it had been Priye who asked to take her out for a chat,how come he came with his brother?This question throbbed gently in her heart as she tried to find her voice.

"You,,,,you,,,came ..I ." Toun stammered

"Hey babe relax."Priye sent her a assuring smile,he walked towards her and held her by the hands briefly ."We're taking you out." His eyes travelled to Kelvin who had his hands behind him.And just like a rehearsal Kelvin brought his hands forward to reveal a beautiful bunch of rose flowers.Toun's eyes flustered in surprise.Kelvin nodded his head when she looked at him.

Hannah and Rekia giggled softly while exchanging a knowing look.



...............

She was cold and she shivered slightly pulling the cardigan closer to her body,the heater was on,but something deep inside made her tremble,she glanced at the wall clock and it was some minutes past eleven,the fact that her husband could have found solace in the arms of another woman made her shiver.

But it was unlike him, he should have come back.He had made her angry tonight,he hit her friend in anger and that annoyed her so much.she got up from the bed and began to pace around the room.What was wrong in asking after a friend,she was very offended with her husband's action tonight.

Clutching at her chest,she rushed to the bathroom,she needed her strength not this sickly nauseacious feeling down in her.she washed her face and returned to check her children,they were sleeping peacefully.

But sleep had eluded her own face,she knew she should climb in bed and try her eyes at sleeping,but that seemed a hard task to pursue.

............
Jacob knew his head would break,the way it was spinning,as much as he tried to get the image of that stupid neighbour off his mind,the more it glued.and it had taken him more than self control not to break the idiot's head.He picked the glass that contained his drink and swallowed hard.And to think his wife had rushed after him,oh shit,he banged the table,he just wouldn't accept it.

When the second bottle of vodka landed on the table,he knew he was a goner from that moment.He saw ten ladies walking towards him,and he made to grab them together.The female attendant let out a tiny whimp as she stepped back.

She had walked up to inform him that they were past closing time when he suddenly stretched out his hands to grab her."Excuse me sir." She said,pointing at the wall clock."We are closed for the day."

Jacob let out a bewitched laughter,"Good,is that why all of you want to carry me?" He asked,the attendant looked around,the other attendant was aleady closing the fridge who else was he referring to,but past experience had thought her that men in his situation could see hundred girls in one,his breath stenched of alcohol when he belched loudly.

It took the two attendant a whooping 30minutes to lead him to his car.they opened the driver's door and pushed him in before closing the door.

........

If anything at all,the sound of hammering filled his head,he sluggishly forced an eye opened,his nose came awake to the odour of vomit.His eyes became clearer and his head woke up too.

What was he doing in his car at 6am in the morning,he couldn't find a place for his foot ,a banging sound erupted from his head.The event of the past evening flashed in his brain,so he took his time to analyse what had happened.

He ignited his car and found himself at his gate after an hour of driving,his kids were about leaving for school,he couldn't even plant the regular'Goodbye daddy' kiss on their cheeks.he waved at them,quickly he gave orders for the car to be washed immediately and he disappeared into the bathroom.


It took him like forever to get out of the bathroom,he came out dripping water,a white robe on his shoulders and the fresh scent of bath hung around the room.He dried his hair with a towel and stood in front of the mirror.

He didn't even occur to him that his wife was missing,he glanced around the room for the second time."Where is she?'" He said to himself rushing down the stairs,he called Nnamdi and Aishat.

"Where is your madam." He directed the question to both of them.

Nnamdi took a quick glance at Aishat,he was scared to look at his boss in the eye.And for the second time that morning,he knew something had gone wrong with the family.

"She ..Aishat talk now." He. Said fidgeting on a spot.

Aishat shot him a glance that screamed'Are you crazy' she tried to clear her throat,"Hmmmm hmmmm,she went to see Oga Toye."

Jacob knew he was loosing it already as he tried to steady his foot in a place,"So where is she now?" He asked trying to contain his anger.


"She's still there,I mean she didn't come back home last night." The answer was short and needed no explanation.Nnamdi was shocked to hear that,he could see anger well upon his boss's face.

"You mean she spent the night in that house." The way he spoke one would think the house in question was a sacred one.Without thinking he hit his fist hard on the wall,breaking their beautiful wedding frame into pieces,his hands were bleeding but he didn't give a damn,all he wanted at that moment was Toye's head in a lunch bowl.

Thnks for reading..
