Romoke ,episode 4 by swankmee



******************Maami rose up and started
wailing, while the other wives trooped in from
different angles.
"ahhh!!...... Egba miii oooo (please help me),
Romoke has killed me " she rolled on the ground
while her daughters and the other wives helped
her to sit, Babatope was already on his feet
shaking his head angrily this time around he
spoke out, " see! Iya Romoke, if you don't bring
Romoke to my home tomorrow then be ready to
pay back my money! Tell ur husband what I said!
Aremu let's go" with that they left. Maami kept
on shouting "ahhh Romoke has killed me". Some
of her co-wives kept on mocking her especially
Iya Bisi. When the people trooping in were too
much, Nike got up to shut the door just then
Baba walked in. Baba is in his late 60s, hw is a
very poor farmer and a lover of women, his teeth
were already coloured as a result of the drinks
and kolanut he took, Baba cared less of his
children, he doesn't even know all of them all he
cared about was sampling women.
"what is happening here? " he bent down to feel
maami's body temperature then he sat on one of
the cane chairs.
" Baba..... Romoke is no where to be found "
"..... Romoke?" he scratched his Grey head again
and squinted his eyes trying to remember who
Romoke is. Then Nike spoke up angrily, "Romoke
is my younger sister........ The one Babatope paid
her brideprice"
baba suddenly opened his eyes wide "ahhh...
Romoke, I remember now so where could she
have gone to"
Maami sat up and stared at her husband
"my husband.... Huhmmm Babatope is so upset,
he said we should get ready to return all the
foodstuffs and money we took from him if we
don't find Romoke.... ". She sniffed again
whipping her eyes with the edge of her wrapper.
"..... And that is the most painful part..... Don't
worry we will find her" with that, he stood up and
walked out of the room.
***********************"am sure they would have
been looking for me by now". I handed the cup
back to Bola and stood up to face the window, I
felt tears on my cheeks. "Romoke...... Stop
thinking, u are here now and we shall both leave
this village by tomorrow". Bola has been my
friend right from primary school, she's not from a
polygamous home like me, her parents are
Christians but are separated, she lives with her
dad in Abuja and comes home to see her mum in
the village. Unlike me she already has a suitor
and she also works in Abuja. I cleaned my tears
as I struggled to talk "Bola...... Thank you, God
bless you"
"oya,.... Come and help me pack my things
Romoke ".
I smiled surely the future is going to bewhen will you stop living
alone
Ade? " his mother's words rung in his ear as he
siped the hot tea from the China cup. He sighed
and dropped the cup, this time around hitting it
hard on the table. He glanced at the wall clock,
he exclaimed as he was already getting late for
work. He went back to his room to take his car
keys, jacket and briefcase he bumped into
Martha who was just coming out of his
bathroom. Martha is his housemaid, quite
attractive but not beautiful, dark in complexion
and a perfect body shape which doesn't rhyme
with her face, as her face was a mixture of burnt
black and red as a result of constant bleaching.
Martha has always liked her Boss and wanted
having a sexual relationship with this cute rich
man. She has always seduced him and tried to
lure him to bed with her, however she finally
succeded when one cool evening at around 7:30
pm, he came home drunk and then Martha
helped him into his bedroom where she started
caressing him, how they ended up under the
sheets he couldn't remember. He stared hard at
her with disgust he could not imagine that
himself, Adekunle Jacobs the CEO of Emmanuel
Textile Industry and a prayer secretary in church
could stoop so low to sleep with this disgusting
maid of his, well it was just a one-time mistake it
can't happen again, he assured himself. He
didn't say a word to her, he just brushed past her
to pick his things but that didn't help as he
noticed that he was getting aroused "I reject the
spirit of lust", he whispered to himself. He made
to search for his car keys, he raised the pillow,
checked his wardrobe but he couldn't find it, he
stared at Martha who was picking her up her
clothes at the other side of the room, he just
hissed and continued his search before he heard
"are u looking for this? " Martha stood akimbo
watching him. good gracious! This is going to be
a tough battle, he said to himself again. He
quickly grabbed his key from her then he raised
his hand to warn her
" look..... I want you to leave this room fast, go
back to where you belong okay? Whatever
happened yesternight was a mistake ".
She swallowed advancing towards him. This guy
is still proving stubborn s said in her mind. "
come on boss, am sure u enjoyed every bit of
the action yesterday so save me your pretence".
She smiled at him. Good lord! She is doing it
again seducing me! Ade muttered, he was
confused he needed to get this girl out of his
room before anything happens again.
"Martha get the hell outta-here! " but Martha
wasn't helping matters too as she loosen her
towel the angry Ade suddenly turned gentle Ade.
Muttering '' Lord have mercy", he grabbed her...
