“No!!” I shouted as I quickly ran inside for my car keys and the next minute I was on the major road on high speed, the car was no where to be found . I parked my car in a safe spot and alighted from it, I was confused as I didn’t know what to do, I had to turn to my best friend Matt, he might be of help. ” Hello matt, Ann has been kidnapped, my girlfriend has been kidnapped” I shouted as soon as Matt picked up the phone, ” By who? How? When? Where?” Matt asked, ” See, I can’t explain now, just come over and help me, please I am confused now” I told him as I loosed the first two buttons of my shirt, ” Israel, calm down, if she has been kidnapped, then they will definitely ask for ransom, they will call” Matt said calmly, ” No Matt, this people dont look like they want money, they are fighters, I mean real fighters” I explained, ” Wait Israel, do you expect Bricklayers or Barbers to come kidnap Ann? Anyone that might have kidnapped Ann must know who you are and thus they sent the right people for the job” He told me while I nodded my head in agreement, ” Then Who could that be, only Newriton knows who I am, who else? ” I asked feeling frustrated, ” Remember bro, Daniel is out” Came his voice, I went quiet immediately, Daniel is out and certainly, he is out for revenge, an evil revenge. ” Israel, Israel are you there?” I heard Matt voice over the phone, I immediately ended the call and went into my car.

” Slowly, slowly!!” Adanna shouted as I hit the high way with great speed, it is already use to me, I hate driving slowly. ” Why are you scared? Trust me” I assured her taking a sharp turn, ” Remember the last time you ask me to trust you, when you said I should allow you fry the plantains for the rice, remember we later ended up having no plantain to eat that day, you ate up everything while frying, remember back in the village when I use to trust you with my water pots, you broke them all” She reminded me, ” Hey, that is different, we are on the road here, just trust me on this ” I assured her again, she gave me that look of doubt but still gave in. ” Watch out!!” She shouted while I quickly applied the brakes, I had been taken away by the speed that I didn’t realize I was about hitting a small car driving slowly in front of me. I applied the brakes late and I ended up hitting the car from behind. The car stopped immediately, so also my car. ” Mr Man, what is the meaning of this?” The owner of the small car shouted as he got down from his car and came towards me who was already out of the car, Adanna was with me. ” Am sorry sir, it was a mistake” I apologized although I knew it was useless, Nigerians have nothing to do with your apology, pay for your damages. ” Will sorry repair the car ?” He asked in a loud voice, car owners could now be seen surrounding us, typical of Nigerians. ” Can you imagine this idiot, he was over speeding and hit my car” The man told another man who had come to witness what was happening, ” My husband is not an idiot, he barged your car and he is going to pay for it” Adanna interfered standing in front of the man and staring sternly at him, ” Then let him repair it” The man shouted and laughed a mockery laugh, other men joined him. ” Small boys of nowadays, they make small money and start feeling on top of the world” Another man from the crowd said, ” He will pay for it but you have no right to call him an idiot, idiot” Adanna cursed while the crowd shouted, words like ” This small girl” could be heard from some of those in the crowd. I drew Adanna back gently , she do over react sometimes. ” Am sorry Sir, how much for the damages?” I asked him calmly, he was still staring angrily at Adanna. ” Fifty thousand naira” he blurted out, what an hungry man. ” No, its a million naira, thief” Adanna interfered again, ” Joy!” I called and she kept quiet. ” Sir, you know this isn’t up to fifty thousand naira ” I told the man calmly, ” Young man, I am the owner of my car and I know how much everything in it is worth” he told me angrily. ” Excuse me” a man from the crowd came forward, he looked dirty. ” I am a mechanic, and I can repair this break light with 5 thousand naira” he informed, ” Okay then, dear please lend me five thousand naira ” I turned to Adanna, who simply eyed me and brought the money from her wallet. ” Sir, this mechanic will repair your car for you, and if he doesn’t do it well , you can call me” I told the man and gave him my number, I gave the money to the mechanic and walked into my car as the crowd dispersed. ” why are you always bent on disgracing me?” Adanna asked as we got back into the car, ” How?” I asked back. ” Firstly, I told you to drive carefully but you won’t listen and now you hit someone’s car. That isn’t the painful part, just look at the way you were behaving like a weakling out there, so pathetic” she shouted like she was ready to fight me, ” Joy keep shut” I instructed, I knew it was a useless instruction ” Oh, I should keep shut? Okay then ” She shouted and folded her arms in anger, but at least, she kept shut. I drove off till we got to the cinema, I looked for a good parking space and parked my car. ” Okay, am sorry” I apologized as we made to alight from the car, ” Just keep shut ” She ordered while I bursted into laughter, ” Wait, you think its funny? Do I look like a joker to you, you are taking me for a fool?” She asked angrily, ” Haba, Adanna, it isn’t up to this now, am sorry forgive me” I begged stretching my hand for hers, ” Don’t touch me!” She shouted, ” Am sorry to be the bearer of the bad news, I will” I said and held her hand. ” Leave me alone” she removed her hand away from mine. ” Adanna, am so sorry” I begged again, ” No, it was annoying, i was trying to tell you something and then the next thing was for you to ask me to keep shut ” She said , ” You weren’t telling me anything, you were yelling at me” I corrected, ” Are you correcting me?” She asked while I shook my head negatively, ” Okay, am just sorry” I apologized again. ” Hmm, you are forgiven, but you still have to be punished, I will have to punish you”she said, ” Okay, what’s the punishment? ” I asked her, ” As we go out now, let me do all the talking” She said while I nodded, ” Okay then, you are forgiven ” she said and gave me a light kiss. ” Remember, all the talking” she reminded, ” Okay” I answered as we walked to get a ticket. ” Good morning sir” the lady greeted me but Adanna answered, ” Good morning, he is my husband and he is dumb and deaf” she told the young lady, ” Oh, sorry, what a fine man” the lady lamented, I just stood where I was unable to say a thing. ” So what movie are you viewing?” She asked Adanna, ” Jumaji, I have hopes in the movie” Adanna said happily, ” Have it, your tickets” she stretched the tickets over to Adanna who paid for it and drew me away, ” Good boy ” she whispered to my ear happily, ” I dont like this” I told her, ” Remember, your punishment” she reminded , ” wait here, let me go buy popcorn, I forgot earlier ” she ordered and ran off to get a big cup pop corns and drinks. ” Now, let’s go” she ordered as she came back and i followed. ” Okay, my love, I forgive you, now you can talk” She said as we were about to enter the movie room, I only hissed and made to pass her. ” Go and stand the chance of getting punished again or you better come hold me now” She said standing by the door to the movie room, ” Adanna you are troublesome, I won’t take you anywhere again” I said as I held her hand and led her to the movie room, it was almost filled as the movie was just about to start, I led Adanna to the uppermost section to sit. A little bit above the upper section is a small hole where the movie was being projected from to the big white screen, trying standing in front of the hole and you might possible see yourself on the screen, not yourself, a shadow of yourself.
” wedding party, wedding party,wedding party” Adana kept on calling , her head was on my chest again and she was helping herself with the cup of popcorn. ” Won’t you eat?” She asked me , ” No, am not eating ” I replied staring at the advert being showed on the screen, ” You are angry bah, okay am sorry, okay punish me too” She said raising her head and staring at me, ” Adanna, just be calm for once” I begged, ” No, I won’t be calm unless you eat the pop corn” She said handling the cup to me, ” Okay ” I collected it and dished a handful into my mouth. ” That’s my husband” She smiled and pecked me, ” Adanna, we are in public” i told her, ” Does that mean I can’t peck my hubby?” She asked while i kept quiet, the movie started.
