Episode 1 continues
While Yejide was preparing food at the kitchen outside her flat that she shared with some of her neighbors, she heard a man’s voice. It was the voice of oga Lucas as they normally call him. He was one of Yejide’s neighbors in his thirties who was not married and always had something to say whenever he came in contact with Yejide.

“My wife! How are you?” he said as he entered the kitchen.

“Oga Lucas, wetin you dey find?”

“My wife, I was, I mean I am looking at….I mean I am looking for you.”

“Oga Lucas, I know sey English hard but please I’m not your wife. Stop looking for me now”

“My wife, don’t say that now. Hmm, dis tin wey you dey cook, na for me and you abi?”

Yejide rolled her eyes at him before laughing. He was very annoying but he was also a funny man. He always looked and acted drunk even though he wasn’t a drunkard. It was just his nature to act stupid some times. He started singing when he saw that Yejide was trying not to pay attention to him again.

“My wife Yeji Yeji dey make me kolo eh, kolo eh…”

When he started singing, Yejide got really annoyed and frustrated so she told him to leave the kitchen. On his way out, Dupe was just coming out from the bathroom when she met oga Lucas coming out from the kitchen so she greeted him;

“Ahn ahn oga Lucas. Good afternoon oo.”

“Ahh Dupe, good afternoon oo. I just went to see my wife and she chased me away. Can you imagine?”

“Oga Lucas! You sef, you’re not tired? Yejide no gree now.”

“You be Yejide’s mind. No annoy me oo. Ah don dey go sef.” Oga Lucas said angrily while leaving Dupe behind. Dupe just smiled and retired to her room.

After Yejide was done preparing food for both of them, they ate together and rested. By night time, they were already dressed in their business outfit heading for their spot. They, that is, Yejide, Dupe and all the others used to lurk around one area in Lagos. That spot was very populated with prostitutes and even though several incidents had occurred there, they never seemed to reduce in size. That faithful night, Yejide met a young man who she thought was very good looking. In the essence that, he looked rich and he was handsome. She had been given a huge sum that night by the man and she had happily followed the man to the hotel as usual. After a night of fulfilling his desires, they slept until the following morning. That morning, she got up early and was dressing up when he woke up and spoke out;

“Where do you think you’re going?” Yejide looked at him in a confused state before speaking up;

“I’m going home.”

“Not until you give me back my money”

“Ahn ahn, see me see wahala oo”

“Why should I give you my money?”

“I will not ask you after this. Give me my money!”

“Shuoo, Oga which one be dis. Abeg no even start oo” she said before ignoring him, putting on her shoes and picking up her bag. As she was done dressing up and was about heading out the door, she received a hot slap on her face that made her fall to the ground. When she recovered from the slap, she looked up and found a gun pointing at her.

“Now! Give me my money!” the man said, leaving Yejide in shock.

She paused for a while, still in shock, before opening the zip of her handbag to bring out the money he had given her the night before.
