I left Ada’s house by afternoon after a romp which she s£duced me into. My mind was not there all through the thrusting and she noticed it. On her inquiry I gave her some flimsy excuse and the next one hour saw me going home in a cab Ada Hired.
I kept on thinking how to settle scores with my madam, it was then I realised the consequence of my deeds! I was so foolish. I kept on cracking my brain for an excuse but it seem my brain have suddenly shut down as no smart idea was coming forth.
I was jerked back to reality by the Taxi driver when we reached Bwari market. I gave him direction to drive towards Nigeria Law school he gave me a queer look but I was not perturbed.
When I arrived home I brought out my sim and inserted it back into my phone and immediately two messages popped in and hurriedly I opened it only to see “Do you know you can fly like winch?” for more details text FLY to 5506.
I hissed, When Mtn wan get sense naw?
But then the next message was from my madam!
I hesitated to open the message but when I finally did I was emotionally touched by its content. “What have you done? Why is your phone switched off? Hope nothing wrong went on. Call me immediately you receive this message”
I made to call her immediately but I paused.
What will I tell her? But it was too late my finger have already dialled her number.
And I placed the receiver on my ear as I listened to the beeping sound with my heart beating at a rate I can’t calculate.
“Hello” that was my madam’s voice no doubt. She sounded surprised and a bit curious or was it just my imagination playing tricks on me? I kept mute and I heard
“Hello!” this time louder.
“Hello ma” I replied with a subdued voice.
“Yes, Nnaji is that you?” she sounded troublesomely excited.
“Yes ma it’s me” I replied with a clearer voice.
“What happened? Where are you. Hope you are fine”
At this point tears almost flowed down my eyes, see how caring she sounds.
“Am fine ma” I managed to answer.
“Where are you?”
” am at home”
“O thank Goodness, atleast you are safe I thought something bad happened to you!”
“No ma, it’s quit a long story but am ok”
“Can you come over to the house? We need to talk this out you don’t seem ok”
“Alright ma, I will be on my way”
* Fast forward X 30mins*
I was in her sitting room so mute and sick not knowing how to explain myself. But the way she was taking everything cool was sicking me the more and I allowed my emotions rather than my intuition took a grip of my being and I started talking.
I narrated to her how I went to Ada’s place, how all I did was just plans to manoeuvre her and go see her Daughter Ada. It was too late to hold back my tongue. I never knew when I said that much as she I felt a sharp sting on my face. She just gave me a hot slap.
“Get out of my house!” she screamed pointing towards the doors.
I made to explain but she screamed louder, ordering me to leave immediately and I stuttered out of the room with face all sq££zed up and a crushed heart. I left for my house and arrived in the next one hour.
What the fuvk have I done? I kept asking myself and hated my being at that moment. You should never allow your emotions to take a better grip of your being. Women don’t like emotional men! Brothers take note. But for how long will I keep lying to cover another lie? I felt eased but still devastated.
That evening I decide to go out and un cloud my mind but I never knew I was about to face a bigger trouble out there.
As I went out I plugged in my earpiece into my ear and scrolled through my play list and selected Akon’s SORRY as the song blast into my ears I unconsciously mouthed some of the lyrics, I noticed My land Lord’s daughter waving at me and saying something I could not hear but I just waved and continued walking mechanically.
Just when I was about to take the bend that leads to the main road I saw some guys approaching, the red dim lights of their cigarettes sparkling against the dark background. I never thought much about them as I mouthed “…sorry for the fact I grew way too fast…” in a low tune. The next thing that hit me passed me away for some minutes!
