Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 3
My friend, Busayo, stopped by on her way to
get her wedding dress and accessories. The
joy she radiated as she tells me about her
fiancé made me jealous. We were classmates
in the university; she was busy pursuing a
career when I married Raymond. I’m happy
that she has found her right hand man now.
“Tonia, Peter is the man I’ve been waiting for
all my life.” She spoke so gloriously in her
British tainted accent.
“Oh, I’m so happy for you. I’ve been waiting
all the while for this to happen.”
“Thank you Tony-baby, I was wondering if you
could accompany me to purchase my
wedding accessories.”
“That’s no problem. Raymond and Odin have
gone to school and work, what will I be doing
in this house all alone? Let’s go get some
amazing things in the market my dear.”
“Hey, I’ve got news for you. My husband is
organizing a small party for just close friends
this Saturday; I would love for you and
Raymond to be there.”
“I hope Ray will not be in the office this
week-end like he does nearly every week in
the name of supervising his accountants and
auditors ooo?”
“I pray so dear because I would not be happy
at all if the both of you can’t make it; who
else I know again?.”
“So how is peter?” I asked.
“Trust me, my Peter is the best man that
have come into my life. He’s handsome,
hardworking, caring and really romantic.”
“You are highly lucky my dear.”
“Why are you saying that? What about Ray, I
used to have a crush on him ooh until I met
Peter.”
“I hope you were not playing with my
husband?”
“Nope, how can I do such a thing; that’s the
last thing I would do, no, not to my best
friend.”
“Give me a minute dear; let me quickly
change so that we can go shopping. This
reminds me of the day I and Raymond were
going shopping for our own wedding
ceremony.”
“I’m also happy for you two.”
As I turned, going to my room and channeling
the Dstv to Telemundo, I rushed to my room
to dress up. It’s been long I wore any of my
innumerable jean trousers. I decided to go so
youngish by wearing a jean trouser with a
white top. When I came to the sitting room,
Busayo blurted: “What is this, are you going
on a date?”
“Date ke, I need to relax in something simple
once in a while since I’m not with a
stranger.”
“That’s okay but I’m jealous ooh. Are you the
one getting married or I am?”
“Better mellow your mind and let’s go
shopping.” I burst with excitement, laughing
out loud as I switched off the Dstv and telly
respectively.
——————–
After shopping, I sighted Mr. Kayode entering
his car as we just got out of the shopping
mall.
“Kayode.” I called but he didn’t hear me.
“Kayode, Kayode, Kayode.” I shouted and he
turned, facing me.
“Hi Mrs. Raymond.” He was polite but not
like the other day when he was calling me
‘ma’am’ like I was an elderly woman.
“Hi Kayode.” I responded gently and gingerly
as Busayo pinched me, asking who he was.
“He’s my husband’s employee.” I told her.
“I can see your hands are full, that’s
evidence of extravagant shopping.” He said,
smiling.
“My friend is about to wed and we came
buying her wedding accessories.”
“I can see.” He said, saying hi to Busayo as
she responded simply.
“What brought you here?” I was prying into
his affairs.
“I actually stopped by to see my wife before I
leave for the office. I’ll be working long hours
today, so I came to let her know.”
It’s not as if I expected a man of his age to
still be single but I had to admit, I was
envious and disappointed in finding out that
some lucky woman out there was getting all
of him.
“That’s good. You are a good husband.”
“Ok, I have to be on my way now.”
“That’s alright, bye!” I said as I turned,
walking to Busayo’s car, shaking my butt as
his eyes were all on me.
“What did you just do? You know you’re a
married woman?” Tonia said, making a fuss.
“Don’t worry, he’s just one of those diligent
employees of my husband.”
“But you saw how you shook your behind and
he was staring at you like his girl friend.”
“Oh, he was staring at me, don’t mind that
man joor. Let’s get going.” I turned around to
see if he was still there with a huge smile on
my face.
