Story: M.A.R.Y (Maria. Audrey. Rachael. Yvonne) - Season 1 - Episode 2

She prepared a nice meal of Egusi soup with turkey and some meat with pounded cassava and a pack of fruit juice and set it on the dining table. She sat down in the palour while watching a movie; after 20mins Max came down stairs and sat on the sofa away from his wife
“Honey, food is ready” she said
“Am not hungry” he replied with a straight face
“Am sorry Na, I didn’t mean what I said what I said”
“Ya you never mean what you say” he replied
“Please come and eat your food” she said, now he was angrier
“I said am not hungry, cant you understand that?” he said loudly
“Ok, if you say so”
They both sat quietly for 10mins watching TV until she said something
“I prepared egusi soup with turkey and goat meat with pounded yam” she said without looking at him. Immediately his eyes widened as he turned to look at her
“Ehn? What did you say?” he asked pretending not to hear her and she understood him
“It’s on the dining table” she said moving her head in the direction of the dining table. He ignored her and after about 2mins he turned to look at the dining table and saw that she was looking at him he turned his face away, she smiled and stood then walked upstairs. She knew her husband well enough, that pride in a man will not allow him stand up in her presence and walk to the dining table.
Max looked back and didn’t see her, he then looked at the table again then he stood up and walked to it and sat down. He knew that if he sat down there too long his wife would come clear the food and he wouldn’t be able to ask for it. As he sat on the table and opened the food it was as she described it, his mouth was full of saliva, he swallowed it forceful and his throat gave out a funny sound, he then thought to himself
“chai so this is what I would have missed because of one Mumu misunderstanding. God forbid” he said quietly to himself, he looked around to see if she was peeping at him before washing his hands and landed on the food. Maria then walked down stairs and saw him eating the food happily she busted into laughter but immediately held her mouth as she saw him staring at her with a ball of fufu in his hand
“What’s funny?” he said
“Nothing sorry” she said still holding the laughter, she sat on the couch
“chai this woman must be a witch, see as she dey laugh me because I chop the food, no worry I no blame you make I chop finish first” he thought to himself. He then tried to act been pissed with the food
“There even too pepper in the food” he said with a frowned face
“Sorry” she said immediately like she was expecting that word.
Max ate the food quietly while Maria watched TV. After 5mins Max had finished eating, he became happy, he sat down beside his wife
“Am sorry about what I said” Maria said, Max smiled
“It’s ok” he said and held her close…
