Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 26

“Bia nwokem, wetin be dat? Na

who give u permission to collect

from dat polythene?” I barked

with an angry face.

“Di-anyi, e be like say you know

well o. How I wan take ask

before I chop food wey dey my

house kwa? Who even bring all

doz things for you?” Uche replied

while dodging my initial

question.

“Na Ifeoma bring am. Dat gal I

dey always call for midnight call”

I answered while opening the

bag to have a look at its contents.

Inside the bag was another

bunch of banana, apples,

groundnuts and finally a few

oranges. “Dis gal really tried o…

My night food don set be dat” I

said to myself while admiring the

goodies.

I kept communicating with

Ifeoma over the phone every

now and then although she did

most of the calling while I only

waited till midnight to return the

favour. We booked another

appointment to meet over the

weekend. This time around she

would be sleeping over since

Uche told me he would be

travelling to Enugu town to

spend his weekend. He is always

on the move; hardly staying at a

place, no thanks to his financial

‘weather’ (we’ll get to know

more about him later).

Hmmm, this would be my first

time of hosting a lady overnight.

I was nervous at first but I still

went ahead with the plans

because I needed the experience.

Ifeoma, on the other hand,

would lie to her relations that

she wants to spend the weekend

at their village which happens to

be the next village after Agbani.

Friday morning came and I

wished Uche well on his journey.

I quickly arranged the room

before I set off to the market to

buy some stew ‘things’ as I

wanted to prepare rice and stew.

I met a friend on my way to the

market and we decided to

branch at a local game house.

We’ve had this argument for long

now on who was a better PS2

Pro Evolution Soccer player and

so it was time to turn our brags

into action. We took our sits in

front of the TV after we had paid

for ‘express’ playing because of

the people that were there

before us. He selected Barcelona

FC while I chose my usual Real

Madrid in their all-white uniform

before arranging my formation

in a 4-1-2-3 attacking mentality.

“We’re up and running” the

commentator said signalling the

kick-off of the contest. I used the

first few ‘minutes’ to study his

game pattern as this will help to

counter his further moves. After

my study, I began my ‘shadow

marking’ technique which

frustrated his moves, giving me

enough time to launch counters

and pace football with my

C.Ronaldo operating from the left

flank. The match ended 3-0 in my

favour. We shook hands before

departing to our various

destinations.

I bought the things I needed

from the market and headed

home. I got home, wore my

apron and waltzed into the

kitchen. The food was ready in

no time.

Ifeoma arrived my house a few

minutes before 7pm. We ate,

took our bath together to the

bewilderment of my neighbours

and then retired to bed. I retired

to bed with high hopes of things

to come not knowing that one of

them would nearly cause me

high blood pressure.
