VII
Martha and her boss lived like cats and rats, Ade
was doing his very best to avoid her and she on
the other hand was trying to get his attention
but all her efforts proved abortive, she thought
of trying plan B the one blessing told her about
but it wasn't going to be easy at all cause this
man slept with her about a month back and she
still saw her period after that.... So how is she
going to impose this pregnancy on him which
clearly isn't his own. "huhmm" she sighed aloud
the tumbler she was trying to clean suddenly
slipped off her hand and scattered on the floor.
She hissed and stood there looking at the
shattered glass. The noise of the shattered glass
interrupted Ade's thoughts, he hissed and tried
focusing on the newspaper he was reading but
his mind wandered off to Romoke the lady Dara
had slapped thinking he was sleeping with her,
funny enough he didn't know why he was
thinking about her, it was not as if she had a
unique or striking figure that could turn heads
but her smartness, innocence and there is this
aura of beauty that surrounds her and he finds
himself loving it. He remembered when he took
her to lunch to apologize for Dara's attitude, she
was so shy and couldn't even look up at his
face... So humbling, he had never experienced
that with any lady he went out with in the past.
Even the ones he had just flings with clung to
him like a desperate housefly he shrugged with
irritation.
"excuse me sir, are you okay? have been
speaking to you but u didn't respond"... Ade
snapped out of his thoughts to find Martha
talking to him. He was angry, he stood up and
carried the paper he was holding and walked into
his bedroom leaving Martha in the sitting room.
She followed him almost immediately into his
room but was stopped by his statement... "don't
even dare follow-me.... Or else.." he barked at
her and snapped his fingers at her and started
walking further into his room. Martha was angry
and frustrated, she was about to turn back to go
to the kitchen when Ade called her back "what is
it you want this time?" she pouted her mouth and
rolled her eyes.. "I just wanted to let you know
that I have set the dinning table"
"look.... Just give to the gateman or better still
the dogs". With that, he shut his door leaving
Martha surprised.********************
"but where could she have gone to?" Baba asked
Maami who was sitting beside her on her old
spring bed.... Baba stretched himself on the bed
and covered maami with her wrapper for she has
been sick since Romoke left home, followed by
Babatope's fight as a result of the money Baba
collected from him. Maami was also not spared
in this tantrum..... As she was severely beaten
by Babatope's men, this made Maami fall ill.
"it's been months and yet no sign of your
daughter "..... He coughed slightly and kept
staring into space. Maami stood up as if an
unknown force pushed her up... She started
putting on her clothes.
" her disappearance has made me a laughing
stock in this village "..... She shook her head
" infact.... Baba am going to the shrine... I need
to pray to ogun it seems as if he's sleeping "...
" be careful o... Iya Romoke don't annoy ogun "...
With that he stood up to leave
" ahnn, Baba are you not going to follow me.....
There are some sacrifices we need to carry "....
" please go and carry the sacrifice for your
stupid daughter... Please don't disturb my peace
"..... Baba marched out leaving Maami sobbing.
********************
" am scared blessing seriously... I don't know
what to do he just shouts at me all the time ",
Martha sniffed and continued sobbing. She had
gone straight to her friend's shop in the market
when she Ade ordered her to get more foodstuffs
from the market. Blessing stood up to take her
black bag which she hid on a Shelf, she opened it
carefully and brought out a whitish powdered
substance in a small white leather and handed it
over to Martha.
"what is this.... I thought you said you have the
solution when we spoke yesterday "
" yes nw.... This is the real solution.... Sharp
sharp one "... She gave a short laugh and
continued " you put a pinch... In his food and he
will love you the more.... He will be yours
forever... Seriously "... Martha stared at the
substance and smiled..." ehnehnn.... But my
friend am scared o.... Hope this will not kill him"
"haba no nw.... I paid cool cash for this medicine
o seriously.... " Martha noded in satisfaction and
put away the substance in her bag, she then
stood up to go but stopped to look round
blessing's shop. " my friend your shop is getting
fuller o! Tell me the secret who is the
unfortunate man".... Blessing bit her lips and
smiled.." don't worry with time you will know the
unfortunate man"....
"okay nw... Let me go.. I will see you later"
"okay now... Apply the thing well o"... blessing
smiled as she watched her friend walk further
into the market.
**************************
Ade smiled and adjusted his tie, his heart was
beating fast even though he thought the elevator
was to slow, he wanted to see her again
yesterday they had spoken at length about some
unimportant issues but sounded interesting to
the both of them but he wasn't quite sure of
asking her out yet but she is really fun to be
with, he hummed silently and marched out of the
elevator as soon as it opened... And he felt
disappointed at the sight he saw..
"you should have gotten yourselves a room to
yourselves.. This office is no place for such! " he
said with a tone of finality an rushed to his
office stone faced.
Romoke adjusted her clothes and gave an
unexpected Edet a dirty slap, he was the cause
of all these rubbish, she was trying to pick some
files on the shelf when Edet grabbed her from
behind and started smooshing her and before she
could regain herself Ade had seen them.
"in your entire life don't ever try that with me in
your life.. U get " she hissed and sat back on her
chair fuming leaving Edet who was also adjusting
his shirt, " Romoke you slapped me..... Ehmmm
no problem since Oga have started pressing your
oranges you think you are the only one abi....
Someone that presses different kinds of fruits
banana inclusive and we record different kinds
of ringing tones then in this office..... Ohh you
think you have seen better man abi... Instead of
you to come to me... Correct calabar man to
take care of you... No problem Romoke.... U dare
slap me because of oga Ade no problem "... With
that he walked off to his office. Romoke hissed
and tried concentrating on her work before the
intercom buzzed
" I need that document typed under 20 minutes
now! "
" yes.. Sir" and he hung up. She stared at the
intercom and wondered if it was just Ade that
spoke to her or someone else. Then she stood
up to check for the document among the piles
Of files on her desk, then she knocked the cup
which was sitting on her desk over, she sighed
hoping the contents of the cup hadn't poured on
the keyboard. She froze when she saw the
computer go off, the content had spilled not only
on the keyboard but also on the entire
connection close to the socket, she picked up
the file and marched off to the next office to get
her work done.
****************
She smiled when she saw that the secretary's
door was open and she wasn't on seat atleast no
one is going to stop her she smiled and
seductively walked through the office and
opened the door leading to Ade's office.
"Romoke am highly disappointed in you seriously
how could you.... " his voice trailed off when he
looked up to see her, shewas wearing a nylon
knee length gown and off course she wasn't
wearing anything under those cause he could see
her tips, he groaned and rubbed his head" "ohh
my heavens"... She walked over to his desk and
sat on his legs and kissed him on his lips and
she started struggling with his belt " Romoke
right?...... What a local name... Now am here... "
" this is an... O..ffice "... He tried completing it
but he got carried away and soon she kept on
shouting" ahhh.... Ade.... Harder!! "
And the next thing he heard was Romoke's "
omg! Am sori to disturb" and the fast shuffling of
her feet.. He smiled to himself she had hurt him
this morning now was his turn to hurt her he
smiled as he increased his thurst.
