Once Bukky had finished hers, mama continued talking ‘’thank you but I no longer drink things like this; small time now jedijedi go catch person. I dey find money to complete house nor be to treat sickness. I tell you what I need, I need help quick quick. I need money to move away to my hometown and complete my house. I miss home and I need to be around my own people. I have stayed in this city for too long and now it’s time to go. The crocodile loves to sunbath by the riverbank but he knows when to dive into the river. Bukola, my spirit is worrying me and telling me to hurry up. I don’t want to die here’’

‘’Mama, you are putting too much pressure on me. Unfortunately I won’t be able to bear this burden this time. My husband and I have been quarrelling over Jesuorobo. That young man is bent on sending me out of this house!’’

Then mama held out a hand and stopped her daughter ‘’I’ve warned you several times but you have chosen to ignore me. I’ve told you to leave Osazuwa’s children alone. Anything to do with those children, my hand nor dey oh! The best you can do is talk and talk but don’t ever take any rash decision where they are concerned. If you push too hard that will be your undoing oh! Even that one that you think is harmless and is stuck up in the north, she is as powerful as her brother you see everyday’’

‘’Hmmm!’’

‘’Yes nah so don’t be carried away that the one you are seeing everyday is the thorn in your flesh. Let me tell you something even if Jesuorobo is planting his igbo plant on your head and raking it morning, noon and night my advise remains the same – leave that boy alone. I don’t want to talk too much but there is an impenetrable hedge around those children’’

‘’Hmmm! You keep saying that and sometimes I don’t understand what you mean. If there is a hedge around them then I have a hedge around me too. At the end of the day, we are all serving the same God’’

‘’My daughter nor be so ohhhhhhh! It is not everything that a wise man says and there is wisdom in counsel. The quickest way for you to leave this house will be to poke a finger in lawyer or doctor's eye. Talk all you want, rant until the sky falls but don’t touch them. That Jesuorobo that is doing like a mad man, he is not normal oh! Bukola, draw your ears and listen to me - LEAVE OSAZUWA'S CHILDREN ALONE! I told you earlier that I know how to pick my battles so let's leave it like that’’

Suddenly a dead silence pervaded the room as the unspoken reverberated around the parlor.

the interesting part of this piece is that you don't know what will happen next until the op spits it out.

''I don’t know these things. The presumption is that he is fine. He has kids already and I am the one who has never borne a child''

''Oh my daughter! Are you one of those fo.olish people who believe every infertility problem stems from a woman? You see your life? You are quick to assume you are the cause - what a shame! I have always drummed this thing into your ear but you never listened to me''

''Mama, God will do it in his time. Nothing is wrong with either of us. The doctor has assured us we have nothing to fear''

''What doctor is that? Is the doctor Osazuwa's friend? Did the doctor examine him? What doctor would say that without common SFA? Bukola, wake up and smell the coffee. I don’t need years to convince a loving man who is anxious to have a child with me. I don’t need to speak too much grammar before such a man goes for common SFA test! If Osazuwa is pretending he has no problem, then you pretend and let another man help you help him!’’

‘’Jesus Christ!’’ Bukky uttered. She staggered back in shock then mama eyed her and hissed before delivering another announcement ‘’siddon there carry last! Agbekpo!’’

one thing about touchmeder is that there is no dull moment about his story. It pains me that other of your story are not available because of plagiarism

‘’You heard me right’’ Osazuwa replied. Then he turned a generous amount of water into his tumbler and finished it in one gulp.

‘’Darling, the old man insulted me!’’ Bukky cried out.

Then Osazuwa stopped her again with another sermon ‘’he is not called old man. He has a name, his name is Mr Rabiu and he is far older than you. He might be your domestic staff but he deserves to be respected. Show him some respect Bukky! Once upon a time you worked for me. If I treated you like trash I’m not sure you’ll be here today’’

‘’He insulted your wife in Hausa and when I confronted him, he switched to English! That old man … I mean Rabiu didn’t break a sweat the whole time! He is a sneaky fellow. Don’t be deceived because he walks with a slight limp or because he is an elderly man’’

‘’Bukky, how many seconds would it have taken to call me?’’

‘’Meaning?’’

‘’Meaning you must learn how to control yourself and respect authority. I employed that fellow for reasons best known to me. If you had problems with him, the correct thing was to wait for me. By the time I return, tempers might have calmed down and we would see things differently’’

‘’How can I see things differently when I have been insulted in my own home?’’

Osazuwa ignored her and continued ‘’if you could not wait for me, you could have picked up your phone to call me. As long as you didn’t employ him or pay his wages, you had no right to fire him without my approval!’’

Then Bukky got up, pushed her chair aside and announced ‘’Osazuwa, you should fight for me if a worker dares to disrespect me. It’s the same thing you do when your son disrespects me…’’

As she made that statement, Jesuorobo sauntered into the parlor and greeted his father. Then he announced in a mocking tone ‘’what have I done again?’’ the pair ignored him and Jesuorobo strolled out to take his evening smoke.
