VIII
"Martha I need a very cold tea for breakfast and
little milk and then two slices of bread. I want it
ready before I finish dressing up"
"okay sir. Oga please I wanted reminding you
about the money I asked you for "
" what money! I don't know I now pluck money
from trees. Ohh I see, it seems you are getting
too comfortable in this house that's why you
have the guts to ask me for irrelevant things, will
you get out of my sight now! " Ade curled his
hand into a fist as he watched Martha hurrying
back to the kitchen. He hissed and entered into
his room.
" he is just too mean and I will teach him a
lesson. I wonder why he hates me this much".
She scooped some milo into the tea cup and put
some milk in it and stirred in some water then
she smiled to herself "now it is time to make
tea"
She rushed to her room and brought out a
whitish powdered substance in a small white
leather and proceeded to the kitchen.
" blessing told me a pinch but I will put all of it...
Yes! "
She emptied the whole content of the leather
and stirred the contents of the cup. " Martha
where is my breakfast am running late! "
" am coming sir! ". She rushed to the dining and
gave it to Ade who kept on gulping the contents
of the cup till it got empty.
" why does this tea taste so different today
Martha? " he began to pack his files and put
them into his briefcase. She smiled at least he
will have my time now this is the right moment
to tell him this.
"ehmm oga I am pregnant, we are going to have
a baby" she jumped as she concluded. She was
brought back from her joyous journey by Ade's
hysterical laughter.
"Martha are you serious! " Ade asked again
laughing harder this time. Martha smiled and
joined her boss laughing, she would give her
friend a huge amount of money after this.
" wow.. That's good news my dear. Just wait till
I get back from work". He grabbed his briefcase
and headed out. Martha jumped and did a small
dance and proceeded to her room, she needed to
call blessing and tell her the good news.
*************************
Romoke smiled sadly she replayed the scene she
saw at Ade's office, she had seen the lady he
was with, It was that same lady that slapped
her. She groaned inwardly, she had really been a
fool falling in love with her Boss, Edet had
warned her but she didn't believe him not until
she saw it herself. And since then she had tried
avoiding him she was happy when his secretary
came back from her leave of absence. Romoke
had moved back to her office on the first floor
and Ade had behaved like nothing really
happened not that they were dating anyways.
She sighed, the intercom buzzed again
"Miss Romoke.... Oga Ade wants to see you in
his office now. "
" okay " her heart beat suddenly increased and
she suddenly started feeling hot even inside an
air-conditioned room she touched her chest and
wondered what he wanted to say to her but
whatever it was, she assured herself that she
isn't going to be his next prey.
Ade kept on pacing up and down his office he
stopped to look through the window, Martha is
pregnant for him? No it can't be it was only
twice and he didn't spill his seed in her. He
loosened his tie, now he had another problem
Romoke. He had been avoiding her because he
had been to ashamed and too proud to
apologize, now what would she think of him? but
he didn't realize he had fallen in love with her
until the Dara's incident, he has really missed
Romoke's gists, advices are company. He heard
a knock on his door and quickly went to his seat.
"come in " he has never seen her on trousers but
she really looked good in her black office trouser
and a cream Blazers and it seemed as if she
wore a new hairstyles, ah! Yeah, the black braids
really brought out her face and made her smooth
V-shaped face glow.
" you sent for me sir? " why is she acting all
formal.
" ah! Yes! Romoke please sit"
Romoke tried not to look at his face cause she
could feel herself shaking but she was going to
stand her ground, she can't keep loving a man
that doesn't care about her feelings. He even
looked quite handsome, his beards were quite
shaved and she could see through the shirt he
wore how broader his shoulders are, she cleared
her throat this is not her first time seeing this
guy so why is noticing all these now, she shook
her head as if to burst lustful imaginations but
they seem to increase, she was thankful when he
broke the silence.
"ehmm, you see Dara is my ex. I mean ex
girlfriend. So whatever happened was just
nothing and am sorry it happened".
It meant something! You cheat! You hurt me!
She wanted to say all those but she sat tongue
tied and the only thing she kept on saying was
" no problem sir "
" Am serious Romoke it means nothing, am really
sorry about it" and I love you he wanted to add
but he felt it was too early for such.
"it doesn't matter sir it's not as if we are in a
relationship. So don't feel sorry sir". Romoke
blurted out before she could stop herself, she
pinched herself and looked up to meet Ade's
burning gaze, he was not happy why would she
utter this statement he thought.
"okay, but you didn't tell me you and Edet are in
a relationship... But I hope we still remain friends
Romoke? " she shook her head, was he jealous
ohh it was because he saw them that day.
" no sir we are not dating, we are just colleagues
nothing more " Ade felt his heart do a somersault
atleast she is still single.
" okay.... Can I atleast take you to lunch this
afternoon please? " She smiled she was loving all
these but she would still make sure she doesn't
fall into his trap as she doesn't want to be
deceived she thought
" no problem sir"
"it's not sir.. It's Ade " he smiled even though
Martha's discovery still lurked somewhere in his
mind he was going to deal with that when he
gets home.
**************************************************
Dara picked up her phone and kept on dialing the
number on her screen but she kept on hearing ''
the number you are calling is busy''. She threw
the phone on her bed in frustration as she kept
on pacing round her well furnished room. a
smallish fair woman peeked into her room and
walked in fully she was Dara's carbon copy
except that she looked older. Mrs Sarah Davis a
woman of high standard and respect she owned
a thriving secondary school as well as a
university. Rumors had it that it was after the
death of her husband 28 years ago that she
started flourishing but she didn't seem to care
about all those rumors all she cared about is to
make her money, attend parties and also to paint
the town red with her sugar boys. Yeah
sugarboys! She sure has them plenty both the
models, the athletes and even the mechanics, a
friend of hers once asked her "Sarah why
mechanics of all men?" she would say "because
they make a dirty work clean and their machines
are strong and well lubricated". Her only friend is
Ade's mother though they hardly see because of
her schedules but they spoke almost all the time
on phone.
"Dara.... What's wrong? I was told you haven't
touched your food? " Dara sat on the bed and
began to sob.
" why will Ade keep treating me like trash mom?
I did what you adviced me to do, I went to his
office last week and since then he hasn't even
called me neither has he picked my call".
"is that why you are unhappy? Ehnnn Dara? Oya
clean your tears". Dara cleaned her tears. She
wondered why guys always dumps her but just
take a look at her plumpy mother, most men
would prefer been with her mom rather than her.
But why? She asked herself and stared at her
mother who was busy chatting away on her
phone before she met her daughter's gaze.
"why are you staring at me now madam?... So
you said Ade doesn't have your time right? "
" yes mummy "
" good.. So is he seeing anyone? "
" hmm no... well I don't know but I heard him
mention one name ehmm Romoke ". Her mom
stared at her like she was still trying to process
the name.
" Romoke? What kind of local name is that? So
you mean your rival is Romoke? I haven't seen
the person but the name sounds local". She
stood up and started to walk out of her
daughter's room
"mom... Please I need Ade to look at me at least
as his girlfriend " she concluded as she walked
up to her mom.
" ehnnn that is a small issue now, u just get her
surname but for the main time I will talk to Ade's
mother".
"thks mom you are the best! "
" oya come and eat your food, I will be going out
so don't expect me tonight "
" okay mom... " she replied sadly and her mom
walked out of her room. Sometimes she felt her
mom is too wild to be a mother cause which
woman in her right senses will always party and
have lots of sugar boys. Well atleast if she gets
back with Ade she would marry him and leave
her crazy mother alone, she sighed and walked
to the dining table to devour her food.
