MOTEL BLUES (part One)
***
“I go marry next year”, Bella
said in her fabulous pidgin as
she busied by the dressing
mirror.
I froze as her words hit me.
She instinctively turned my
way and continued.
“I don dey old for hia. I no for
tell anoda babe, buh you be
my padi. I trust u finis”.
Her face was angelic. Strands
of the Brazilian weave she
fixed over her husk-like hair
curled around her ear lobes.
The undergrowth was
showing- stiff and wispy, at
the ridge of her forehead. We
gazed at each other for a
long while.
“Who go marry you?”, I
asked, patronizing her.
“Normal things- person go
show. But if nobody wan
serious, I go kokoma find my
way. I still get dey glitz- you
know… Oga Chris dey even
talk am”, she concluded,
turning her face back to the
mirror. She was beginning to
apply mascara. Something to
hide the age-lines that etched
across her beautiful face.
I felt pity for her at first.
