The Series Of My Life - Season 1 - Episode 89

My flatmates thought that I was just being extravagant with Jennifer by inviting her everyday but when they started eating deliciously prepared foods everyday for Atleast one week, they began to find out that she wasn't going anywhere soon.
It was my plan and my money to make her cook everyday for the flat.

We hardly cooked food in the flat before her arrival but as soon and she came to live with us, we were partying with food on daily basis.
I gave her 400 euros to buy foodstuffs and store them up in the kitchen. She bought large quantities of fish and meat and stuffed them in the freezer.

She would cook with beaf on one day and the next day, she would use fish and cow head.
Everybody in the flat was happy but before they knew that she was there to stay, they had already been bought over with food.

I felt one or two of them would someday ask me to tell her to leave. They didn't know her well enough to leave her alone in the flat. The only way I believed would work wonders was through food and it worked.

I escorted her to the H&M clothing market where she bought new cloths. She had decided to abandon her belongings wherever she kept them. She had come with some money, I didn't know how much but it was enough to buy her five different cloths.
I on my own side, gave her extra 100 euros to buy more cloths. She mouth two pullovers and a trousers more.

After one week, the food ration began to reduce. I wasn't going to feed them forever even if I brought Lucifer into the house. I own the room where she slept and I already had a bargaining chip; food.

After two weeks, the whole Jennifer affair changed. Her Madam who brought her to Europe had been looking for her. She couldn't report to Police since she brought her illegaly into the country. She told few Nigerians. They suspected that she had ran out of the Country. They had even called Spain and Napoli to check if a new girl arrived over there.

One afternoon, a lady stopped me in Colombo business district of Lisbon and asked if I was Solomon. I nodded and asked who she was. She said her name was Mary and that she was the madam of one Jennifer whom she heard was with me.

There was no need denying her accusation so I maintained my composure and asked who told her she was with me.

*When in a difficult situation, ask silly questions to buy time*
'' Bros, if she dey ya house, abeg tell her that I want her back this evening'' she said.
'' we don look everywhere for am and we no see am'' she continued.

I stood there and fast tracked my thoughts on how to manage the situation. Suddenly and idea came; Attack with more silly questions.
'' she said her mother is in Nigeria, what kind of her madam are you'' I asked and stared directly into her eyeballs.
She said nothing.

'' she is with me but she said she want to travel to Nigeria. She asked me for help but I refused'' I continued, knowing that I was mixing up the truth with lies.
'' she said she had nobody to run to. She also said you will take her back to your house if you know where she is. I have spent over 1000 euros on her TC but if your return 1000 euros, I will bring her back to you.'' I said.
She looked surprised. I believed she didn't saw that one coming.

She asked me to wait, then she walked to a middle aged man who had been loitering around the area. They spoke for a few minutes, then she returned to me.
'' my husband say we no go pay anything. she said.

'' Goodbye then'' I said and moved quickly down to the taxi stands. She ran fast towards me while at the same time, motioning the man to come.
She was on a high heeled show, it prevented her from keeping up the chase.
I dashed down the concrete stairs and diverted right. Some cabs were standing there. I jumped into the first in the line and said ' Rossio''.

The Turkish Driver started the car and raced away. I looked back and saw the two comedians waving the taxi to stop but it was too late.

I called Jennifer on the phone and asked if she was at home. She was. I redirected the cab to the Madrid Hotel and stopped. I took another cab and drove to my house.

I didn't particularly know why I was running. I felt that the Jennifer-recovery squad were more than two.

I didn't also know how they found out she had been living with me but that wasn't the major problem. I knew that as soon as the food stopped flowing, one of the flat occupants would squeal.

I ran up the stairs and found the apartment door already open. I had called Jennifer as soon as I alighted from the cab in front of the house.

As soon as she saw me, she asked what the problem was.

'' Your Madam and one other man are looking for you'' I said.

She didn't show any sign of surprise, she simply walked back to the room and la!d on the bed.

That was it. The fear that had been following me had been confirmed, the suspicion I had been nursing since she came to stay with me had just opened up.

I walked to her and sat by the bedside.
'' Baby you know that they will come looking for you here'' I said.

She murmured something I couldn't hear but when I lowered my head and asked her again, she said '' let them go to hell''
It was all I needed. Time has come to battle it out with miss Madam but I was a little scared because those people were too involved with Juju.
