‘wh…what are you talking about daddy?’ Alice asked.

Suddenly she saw butterflies. Her dad wasnt there.
‘daddy!Daddy!!Where are you? Daddy,dont leave me alone, daddy please!’

Kofo and Angela watched as Alice kept shaking her body muttering some incohorent words.
‘daddy,dont leave,me please!’ Alice kept shouting.Then in her unconcious mind, she grabbed Kofo’s skirt.
‘daddy,you promised that you will never leave me alone,daddy please!’

Kofo out of anger beat her hand away with full force.
‘idiot!Wake up!!!’ Kofo screamed.

Immediately Alice opened her eyes.
‘daddy,daddy,daddy’ she continued saying.
‘will you shut up you fool!Who is your daddy?You better get up before i descend on you with hot water!!’ Kofo said with a smile.
Alice jumped up immediately sweating heavily.
‘what happened?’ she asked.
‘mtcheew! I am so sorry Angela for accusing you for nothing. This stupid girl just wanted to be shameless again. Thank God we didnt take her to the hospital!!’ Kofo said turning to leave, then she sighted the briefcase and stopped.

She turned to Alice pointing to the suitcase.
‘you sure do have an explanation to this, dont you?’ Kofo asked.

Alice froze as she stared at the suitcase wide eyed.
‘will you answer me!’ Kofo barked ‘where did you get this from eh?’ she asked.

Alice panicked. She stared at her mother with fear.
‘i….i…your room’ Alice stammered.
‘you need a braincheck’ Kofo said.

**********

Nneka could neither eat nor sleep for days after learning of Fred’s death. She had wanted to attend his funeral but she was scared, scared of Queen Lateefa.

Whenever a KUVUDU member dies tragically, no member is supposed to attend, be it your brother, or your husband or what have you. Should you attend, then your burial will be next.

She couldnt believe that Fred was gone. Even though he was no longer a part of her, or even married to her, she knew she was greatly disturbed and pained over his death, probably even more that his own wife.

She rolled on her bed uncomfortably, shedding tears quietly, for Fred. For Fred who was no more, for Fred who never married her, for Fred who despised and rejected her, the more she remembered how Fred had humiliated her front of his wife 29years ago, the more she cried.

She had vowed never to forgive Fred and hate him for the rest of her life but she still loved him no matter what.
‘you this married woman running after a married man like me, stay away for me!!!’
It echoed in her ears. It was Fred’s birthday so she wanted to surprise him. She had lied to her husband that she was going to visit her mother then.

When she got to Fred’s house, she was shocked to see another woman, a pregnant woman for that matter. She was shocked. Who was she and what was she doing here?
‘who are you?’ the pregnant woman who she later learned to be Kofo asked.
‘i should be asking you that question! What are you doing in my boyfriend’s house?’ Nneka asked violently.
‘excuse me? What are you talking about?’ Kofo asked.
‘dont play dumb with me jare! Why are you in my boyfriend’s house and who are you sef?’ Nneka asked.
‘this is my husband’s house. Sorry, you missed the address, try next door’ Kofo dismissed.
‘husband’s house? You are the one who missed the address my dear. This is Fred’s house, my boyfriend, so try next door!!’ Nneka said angrily.

Kofo suddenly burst into laughter.
‘honey! Honey!! Come oo. One psycho just disappeared from a psychiatric hospital’ Kofo called amidst laughters.
‘what?! Who is a psycho? Look, respect your pregnancy and leave this house, right now! I mean this moment and never…… Eh eh, Fred is here sef, who is this monkey here?’ Nneka asked af Fred entered the sitting room with an open mouth.
‘what are you doing here Nneka?’ Fred asked.
‘that didnt answer my question Fred. I said who is this monkey standing here?!’ Nneka said angrily.
‘watch your language Nneka because she is my wife and not a monkey’ Fred said.
‘wife? What wife?!’
‘are you clear now? Fred is my husband. My dear, go and display your market somewhere else, my husband is not available for you oo’ Kofo said with both hands on her waist.
‘Fred…..’
‘you this married woman running after a married man like me, stay away from me!’ Fred said sending triggers into her spine.
‘oh,oh! So you are the slutty mrs who has refused to stay one place eh?!’ Kofo said in a mocking tone.

With the way she sounded, Nneka knew Kofo already knew, she felt betrayed. Tears flowed down her cheeks.
‘Fred….you betrayed me, betrayed my love, betrayed my trust, you!!’ She whimpered.
‘hey, hey, dont even go there! Were you expecting me to marry you, you? A married woman, dont you know what is called taboo?’ Fred asked.
‘but it wasnt a taboo when she consistently slept with me without stop abi? You used me Fredand then you say its tabboo? Ah,Fred youare heartless!’
‘you are the onewho is heartless! You that is sleeping withanother man whenyouare married nko?’ Kofo hissed
