WuraSerano:
We waved at each other and he drove off. It was getting to dusk. I moved to the residential building, thinking of a successful outing.

In my room, still in my outing cloth, I lay on the bed and imagined things. I thought of the possibility of marrying Tayo and decided that it was not a bad idea.

There was no doubt that I had to psyche up myself to marriage life. When I said marriage life, I meant the normal one between a male and a female. It was one reality I could not keep running away from.

There was a soft knock at the door that brought me back to reality. I got up from the bed.

That must be Bimpe, I reasoned as I moved to the door. I opened it and was surprised to find Dr. Shitta, madam's husband at the doorway.

'Good evening, sir,' I greeted in full courtesy.

'Good evening, Simi. How're you?'

'Fine, sir.' I stood at the doorway.

'Can I come in?' he asked.

That was another surprise.

'Yes, sir.' I stepped inside to allow him to come in.

He sat on the only chair in the room while I sat on the bed.

'Maria tells me you're really hard-working,' he said.

'Thank you, sir.'

He stared at me. 'I like it when a young lady like you channels her energy into something very positive. I like it when someone shows dedication and commitment. Keep the good work up.'

'Thank you, sir.'

There was a brief pause and I wondered if his purpose of coming was just to commend my commitment.

'Em, Simi, I have a deal for you.'

That was another surprise. What kind of deal would Doctor Shitta have with me?

'A deal, sir?'

'Yes, a deal. You studied Pharmacy, right?'

I nodded. 'Yes, sir.'

'Good.' He paused briefly again. 'After many years of practicing medicine both here in Nigeria and in England, I want to set up a hospital here in Nigeria, and when it starts, I want you to work there as Assistant Medical Director.'

I was visibly surprised. 'Oh, that's very considerate of you, sir.'

Then, I remembered I was under an obligation with his wife.

'But, what about madam, sir? What about the fact that I am already working for her?'

The man grinned and waved his hand dismissively.

'There's absolutely no problem with her. She has totally agreed with me. But don't discuss this with her, yet. When the time comes, she will be the one to bring the matter up for discussion. Just know that it's the plan we have in the offing.'

'Thank you, sir. Thank you for your consideration.'

'You're welcome. So, how's your weekend?'

'Fine, sir. All is well.'

There was another slight pause. 'You're very beautiful, Simi.'

Oh, my God, I caught a glimpse of lasciviousness in his eyes. Even madam's husband would eye me in a salacious way.

'Er, thank you, sir,' I mumbled.

'See, if you don't mind and if you know what I mean, I can take good care of you.'

That was it. That was where he was going all along. I realized that his offer of making me Assistant Medical Director was to 'wet the ground.'

'I don't understand what you mean, sir,' I said.
