Thanks for your interest.

The man is whispering to the woman k. k. k.

I nodded again. I suddenly remembered Kike. I imagined she was right there and was witnessing the scene. I had no doubt she would feel that another lady was about to take over the soul of her man.

There was no doubt that was Yetunde’s mission. Why couldn’t I just tell her to go away with her soups? Why couldn’t I reject what looked like an outright ‘Greek gift’?

“When you taste it, you’ll like it,” she said.

I grunted and nodded.

“Do you want me to make the semolina now?”

That was the time I should tell her I was sorry I would not be accepting her offers. I should thank her, but politely reject them. But I could not.

“I think you go ahead and make the food now,” I said.

She nodded as if that was the answer she expected. “Alright.” She smiled at me. “You can go ahead and change from your office wears. Thereafter, you can come and rejoin me here.”

I nodded in agreement. “Alright.”

I left her for the bedroom where I changed to casual. This thing Yetunde was doing would not bring anything good, my mind said. Why don’t you stop her right away?

Why don’t you tell her to go away with her soups, before you find yourself in soup? I almost grinned at my self-reproach.

The truth was I could not bring myself to doing anything that would repel Yetunde or any of her moves.

I changed to casuals and went to rejoin her in the kitchen.

“The water for the semolina will soon boil,” she announced. “Then, I will make it.”

I nodded at her. But wait a minute, why was she suddenly behaving so nicely? Why had she changed so much from the haughty type to become almost patronizing?

She knew what she wanted, another part of my mind told me. She wanted to seduce me in a very subtle way. It was like the serpent in the garden of Eden.

Yes, in the garden! How subtle and cunning some beings could be. The serpent didn’t go there in a virulent manner. It didn’t go there blowing dusts of belligerency.

Rather, it went there coolly, softly but determinedly. And it succeeded in its mission.

Despite all these knowledge, I could make no resistant move.

My phone started ringing in one of the pockets of my trousers. I brought it out and saw that Kike was on the line.

As I received it, I moved away from the kitchen to the sitting-room.

“Hello, my dear,” I said.

“Oh, honey, how’re you?”

“I’m fine. How’s Steve and how was work today?”

“He is fine. Work was fine too.”

“Oh, we bless the name of the Lord.”

“Yes, the Lord be praised. Darling, I’ve been thinking of something.”

“What’s that?”

“Don’t you think it will be better if we’re all in Abuja together?”

My heart started hammering against my ribs.”

“I thought we’ve discussed this issue before.”

“Yes, we have,” she said quickly. “But on a second thought, I think I should be there with you.”

I sighed. Now, I had some guilt. She was talking as if she was watching what was going on in the apartment right now.

“Why are you having a second thought?” I asked.

She laughed briefly across the line. “Let’s just say I don’t want to give any Abuja babe any chance.”

The hammering against my ribs increased. “You don’t trust me anymore?”

“Trust apart, I shouldn’t give the devil a chance, should I?”

I nodded. Grimly, I realized that she was hitting the nail squarely on its head.

“But, there’s no point you worry about anything,” I said. “Everything is alright and will continue to be alright.”

If Kike should know that at that very minute, Yetunde was in my apartment preparing food for me in the kitchen, she would definitely believe that things were not alright.

“Promise me that no other lady will have a place in your heart,” she said.

Hardeybaryor:
Beautiful piece. Well done Sir!

Thanks to you.

I grinned. It was fanciful the idea of Yetunde becoming caring. “Fine.”

“So, how do you eat?” she asked.

“I eat out.”

“Poor you.”

What did that mean? I sighed.

“Anyway, I just called to know if all was well with you.”

“Thanks a lot,” I replied.

“Dream of me. Goodnight.”

Before I could say a word, she disconnected the line. I grinned to myself again. She must be a joker. There was no way I was going to dream about her.


The following day was Tuesday. Senator Osho said as a member of the House Committee on Agriculture, the team would be visiting some areas in Nasarawa State that day.

As the head of his media team, I would be following him.

We went in a Toyota Coaster bus with heavy security. I was impressed with the tour. From all indications, Nasarawa had very good arable land and it was easy to see why farming was thriving in the state.

We didn’t get back to the federal capital until late afternoon. I had good recordings of the day’s events and I was ready to write detailed reports.

As it was already few minutes to four o’clock, I decided I would take my laptop home to continue with the reports. When I saw a Toyota Corolla parked on the lot of the house, I didn’t think much of it.

I got out of my car to take my things. The driver door of the Toyota opened.

“Hello.”

I was surprised to see that Yetunde was the one inside the car.

“What? It’s you. What’re you doing around here?”
She flashed me a smile. “Waiting for you.”

“Oh, oh. I hope you’ve not been waiting for long. You didn’t even call me that you were around.”

“Well, I wanted to make it a surprise.”

What a surprise it was. I strapped my bag to my right shoulder. I could see that she was holding a small bag. I preceded her to my flat.

“Where’s your kitchen?” she asked as soon as we stepped inside the apartment.

I took her to the place.

“I brought some soups,” she said.

I could see that. There were two food flasks. One contained fried chicken and stew, while another contained ‘egusi’ soup.

“You went through all these troubles?” I said in surprise.

“I felt you should take real food made by a woman.”

I nodded, not knowing what else to say.

“I also brought some semolina which I will soon prepare.”

I nodded again. I suddenly remembered Kike. I imagined she was right there and was witnessing the scene. I had no doubt she would feel that another lady was about to take over the soul of her man.

There was no doubt that was Yetunde’s mission. Why couldn’t I just tell her to go away with her soups? Why couldn’t I reject what looked like an outright ‘Greek gift’?
