Dirty Hustler - Season 1 - Episode 6

☆☆☆☆☆

After Broda had handed me the paracetamol, I thought of ways I could meet him again and most importantly, get him to talk to me.
“Nkiru, guess what?” I asked my sister who just got back from school as she sat down to eat.

“What?” She asked with a mouth full of rice. She was gobbling down on her food like it was her last.

I looked at her with disgust.
“You eat like an animal.” I hissed.
“We dey share the same Belle?” She licked stew of her fingers with loud slurps. “Talk wetin you wan talk.”

I ignored her irritating habit.
“I met that cute guy today.” I smiled with pride.

Nkiru’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

“I talk am!” She poured the rice in her palm back into the plate.

“I know say you get mission. When you tell mama say you no fit go work na im I begin to suspect say you wan see the guy…”
I laughed. “I be just wan see how him be…you hype am na, wetin you be want make I do?”

Nkiru eyed me. “Hmm..hmmm…” She pulled her ear. “Be careful o.”
“Nothing happen na. I just go ask if he get paracetamol. He no even talk anything. He just give me the paracetamol.” I pulled out the sachet from my pocket to show her.
She looked at the sachet and continued eating her food. Her silence made me queasy.
“Na wetin happen be that…” I frowned and kept the sachet back into my pocket.
“No throw yourself like that for man, he suppose come meet you.”

I was taken aback by her words. My face felt hot.

“Which…which kind yeye talk be that?! Ehn Nkiru??”

“Sister calm down, I know you well, if you no like the guy you for don dey yab am since. You no talk any bad thing about am. E mean say you like am and I just dey tell you say make you no go meet am again.” She explained calmly.

“You dey craze! I say I just wan see how him be! I no blame you sef, na me carry gist come give you.”
I stood up and slammed the door hard as I walked out of the room.
I walked angrily into the compound to sit on the well. Nkiru always got on my nerves with her useless advice. She always tried to prove she was wiser.

“Good evening.”

The baritone voice startled me. I turned to see him sitting on the other side of the well with a charming smile on his lips.
