Contd *** As Uncle Monday continued talking, the tears ran down Okiemute's eye but she didn’t allow its effect seep into her voice. It was a difficult talk for her handle and her heart was broken for her uncle's sake. At some point, his wife snatched the phone from him and continued to talk in an angry tone ''I'm so sorry aunty'' Okiemute explained. ''I don’t have the answers myself'' ''Your uncle borrowed that money and …'' ''He will be paid back, ₦80,000 plus he can sell the materials for extra cash'' ''This is so unfair because they signed a contract sef. Every how you look at this thing, your uncle has been swindled. We have written, verbal and even instructions sent via text message. We have all of them, I even munched some chat and showed Eka's daddy'' ''Aunty, who is Eka's daddy again?'' ''The lawyer in our church. I showed him the messages and he said wherever your uncle carries this case to, he will win. We are now considering…'' ''There is no need for that aunty. Don’t spend the small money you have to give any lawyer. Everybody is looking for where to chop but let God judge the matter for all of us'' ''We are not happy at all. Your uncle was walked out of that compound like a common criminal. You should have informed him earlier so he finds his square root. It was embarrassing to say the least. He had little time to pack all the things he bought. Why didn’t you tell us the moment he was told to leave?'' 5 Likes |

''Aunty, I'm so sorry but there is someone at my door. I will call you back and we'll talk some more'' immediately, Okiemute switched off the phone and stared into the distance. There was no one at the door but she was tired of the talk from Uncle Monday's end. They had been talking nonstop since he was sent out of the site 2 days ago. It was not only embarrassing but annoying for Okiemute. Ken had played her like a fiddle and at every turn, he had an excuse to give. She had accepted everything he had thrown her way but it was going to stop. If she allowed this one go like that, he was just going to keep throwing rubbish in her direction. He was using her to do yeye but he didn’t know the stuff she was made of. She was not a Delta girl for nothing. She had an ace up her sleeve and she was going to show him pepper! She was going to do what would shock him and make him sit up. By the time she was done with Ken, he would never take her for granted again. And so high on emotion and drunk with a mixture of insanity and anger, Okiemute reached for her phone again and switched it on. Next, she dialled a special number. She waited with some seconds but the call went unanswered. At the other end, Nat continued to stare ahead while the light from her phone emitted a red light. It was the sign that someone was calling but she couldn’t pick it. As soon as her meeting was over, she hurried out of the room and stared at her phone. The number was unknown but it probably had something to do with the plumbing contract. But why would anyone be calling about that unfortunate issue besides her husband had handled it. Maybe it was her tailor, she was angry with that woman because she had disappointed her as usual. Perhaps she was calling to tell her she had fixed the cloth just at the nick of time. That tailor was impossible but Nat could not do without her. The tailor was the best she had come across and she knew she was good hence her dengeposing. She knew how to disappoint her customers and whenever Nat left her store in anger, she could continuously call her starting with her number before switching to an unknown number. Nat wanted to ignore her today, but she decided to let it go. She dialled the number and a strange voice answered the phone before she got a chance to say a word ''can I speak to Mrs Natalie Abe please'' Then Natasha smiled and replied ''Natasha Abe you mean, who is this by the way?'' 5 Likes |

Then the stranger began to talk. It was meant to be a friendly call to intimate someone of her husband's mistress, but it quickly took a different tone. The stranger began to speak in a belligerent tone and Natasha froze in shock. At times the stranger wept then she would cry out in anger before accusing her of trying to sabotage her relationship? The stranger spoke a lot in a short while. She spoke about Ken, their affair, Uncle Monday AKA the plumber, the botched contract (this was clearly a sore topic for her) and her unborn baby! When Natasha found her voice she began to whisper in a croaked tone ''hold on, hold on madam, please come again. You said what? Pregnancy? For who? By whom? Yes, yes, Kenneth who? Come again please…'' And Okiemute continued to yell like a possessed woman. 4 Likes |

*** As soon as Ken got back home, he knew something was amiss. Normally, Nat would come out and welcome him but today it didn’t happen. He had spent some minutes downstairs looking around and even getting a glass of water but she had not made her way downstairs. He knew she was home though because he could see her car in the drive way. He hoped she was fine. As he walked upstairs he yelled out her name ''Nat, are you home? Honey are you back?'' The house was eerily quiet and their bedroom was locked. He knocked on the door but it remained locked. Soon enough he began to mutter under his breath ''han han, what is this about nah? Natasha are you not inside?'' he continued knocking but she didn’t budge. He kind of suspected she was in because he could hear the air condition humming. He continued knocking on the door before he heard a rustle behind. It was their housemaid ''welcome sir'' she greeted. ''How are you?'' ''Fine sir'' ''And where is your madam?'' ''Inside the room sir'' ''You mean she is inside this room?'' ''Yes sir'' 4 Likes |
Re: Three Paths by Fantasyisland(f): 12:51pm On Jan 15, 2016 |
''This room I've been knocking on the door since?'' ''I'm sure sir; that was the last place I saw her sir. She sent me to buy Panadol for her. I've just brought it'' ''Okay, go ahead and give her the medicine'' then the maid knocked on the door once and announced her presence. Some seconds later, a teary-eyed Natasha opened the door and collected the medicine from the maid. All the while, Ken was staring at the scene in surprise. As the maid turned around to leave, Natasha called her back ''dish food for yourself and the gateman and afterwards, you can close for the day'' The maid thanked her and hurried away while Ken stepped inside the room. He noticed the curtains were drawn together like it was early in the morning. He tossed his bag aside and continued to look around in wonder ''didn’t you hear when I was knocking?'' he asked. She ignored him and he continued to stare at her. After some seconds he asked the next question ''what is the problem dear?'' Natasha stared at him from the corner of a room but she said nothing in reply. She was seated on a large arm chair and it seemed like it had swallowed her slender frame. Ken watched as she slowly took a sip of water and swallowed the pill. She had her back propped against a pillow and she was still wearing her work clothes save for her jacket. Ken was worried but he tried to remain calm. He took off his suit and sat on a nearby chair ''you are scaring me dear'' he whispered. ''Did something happen at work? Did someone say something? Did you get a call from home or…'' ''She called me'' Nat whispered. ''Who?'' ''Your mistress'' ''Ehn?'' ''Okiemute'' ''She is a bástard!'' 3 Likes |
Re: Three Paths by Fantasyisland(f): 12:51pm On Jan 15, 2016 |
''Perhaps she is but not her unborn child'' ''Jesus is Lord!'' ''Yes he is'' ''Nat, it is not what you think. I know that lady but not in that way. I am not responsible for whatever she bears'' ''Really?'' ''I am not and just because I told her that, that is why I am in this mess today. I know I erred but I am not responsible for her pregnancy'' ''I wasn’t born yesterday Ken'' ''Would you believe her over me? Would you believe a stranger over your husband?'' ''She said it's been going on since the first quarter of last year'' ''That means nothing'' ''I agree but would you look me in the eye and swear that for every time you met with her you used a condom?'' ''Don’t make me do this. Don’t make me start recounting and stuff like I'm a bloody teenager'' ''You've behaved worse than a teenager. You've acted like a toddler with a toy and in your case your toy has been your pe**nis!'' 3 Likes |

''All I'd say is that lady is a liar, she is a promiscuous soul and she would say anything…'' ''She is all of that and yet you have been frolicking with her all these while?'' ''Natasha dear, say anything but her child aint mine'' ''I'll believe that after she has put to bed. I'll accept that after the baby goes through DNA test in a hospital of my choice. And there will be no hanky-panky; I will have my representative on hand to ensure all goes well. In the meantime, I want you out of my house'' ''Don’t do this Natasha, I beg of you'' ''You have nothing to fear. She is weeks away from having her baby - slightly less than 2 months. Now don’t be shocked, I told you she told me everything! I want you out before I return from work tomorrow and you will get your respite once I'm happy with that test'' The room was suddenly quiet and Natasha continued to stare at her husband ''you would agree I've been fair on this issue, haven’t I?'' she continued. ''It was a mistake'' Ken whispered. 3 Likes |
Re: Three Paths by Fantasyisland(f): 12:53pm On Jan 15, 2016 |
''Oh so you are admitting now? We don't need the test anymore? Wow!'' ''I am sorry. It was the devil that pushed me'' ''No it wasn’t. Your mistress has been speaking and she talks - nineteen to the dozen! You knew what you were doing. You had this all planned out and by a stroke of luck, your plans went awry because someone lost his plumbing contract. Your so called business contact and her uncle dearest - I've been so stupid!'' Immediately Ken went on his knees and began to plead while Nat stood up and continued to yell ''such treachery! What did I do to deserve this? You stabbed me a hundred times, you did it while looking at me in the face and while I was on bended knees'' ''I am so sorry Nat'' ''I don’t blame you though; you are a man after all and you have every right to look elsewhere if I can't give you what you need. But you know I've tried, I was to commence another round of IVF at the end of this month but of course you couldn’t wait'' ''I can dear, it's only a matter of time so…'' ''And it was the time you didn’t have. It's okay, I accept my fate, but you should have been man enough to make your decision and leave me the hell alone. You should have left me alone while trying your luck outside'' Ken got up to where she was and tried to touch her but she screamed at him ''don’t you dare touch me unless I'll fling something hot in your face! I want you out of this house tomorrow. I want you out! I don’t want to come from work and meet you here…'' ''This is my home too'' ''No its not. It is in my name and my name alone. With all the attitude you've been giving me and my precarious position in this home, you didn’t think I'll be a foól two times over, did you? Abi you nor know who dey cry dey see road? You think the only reason I chose Ebube to do the legal work is because she is my best friend? You must be out of your God damn mind! My interest must be protected and that goes for the property in Warri and Abuja'' 4 Likes |

'It's always been about the money with you isn't it?'' ''You're damn right Mr cos I can say the same for you. If it were not for the money, you would have kicked me to the curb long ago'' ''Natasha, I know you are very angry now but I plead with you to tread softly. I beg you to reconsider for the sake of our marriage. I plead with you from the depth of my heart. I use God and God alone to beg you. The devil is trying to break my home at the verge of a miracle. There is no perfect man anywhere. No man is completely innocent and that’s why I've been on my knees…'' as he continued speaking, Natasha picked some things and walked out of the room. He ran after her and made the mistake of holding her hand and she blessed him with a sound slap ''leave me alone!'' she screamed. Then she shut the door with a bang. It was so bad, it seemed like the hinges would come off and when Ken opened the door, a nail dropped to the floor. 4 Likes 1 Share |

*** It was a week of wonder for Belinda and Blossom but on Monday, Cosmos was due back. His return flight had departed the day before and Blossom was expecting him anytime from 12noon. Belinda was getting ready for work while Blossom watched her apply a light makeup. ''I had fun'' she whispered. ''Thanks for coming'' ''I hear you. This could have been our life but you had to ruin it. See how happy we've been with the kids this past week'' she smacked her lips and applied another coat of pink lip gloss'' Blossom ignored her statement and continued to stare at her wistfully ''I'll pay you a visit say this weekend'' she continued. ''Suit yourself'' Belinda replied. She tried to get up but Blossom held her hand back. She (Blossom) leaned closer and gave her a quick kiss ''thanks for everything dear. Thanks for coming and thanks for spoiling the kids rotten… and please don’t say anything silly, you are leaving so let's just bask in these final moments'' ''Okay, no more whining and griping'' ''Good. By the way I love the pink lip gloss. It suits you, you should wear it more often'' 4 Likes |
Re: Three Paths by Fantasyisland(f): 12:55pm On Jan 15, 2016 |
''Do you want it? You could have it, I've got loads of them'' then she got up and tossed it on Blossom's lap. Blossom got up too and they kissed again. Almost immediately, they began to laugh like children ''I know you wanted to do that'' Belinda joked. ''When you go on and on about something as dumb as my lip gloss, I know what you really want. I know you chic'' she ran a hand along Blossom's arm and they kissed again. This time it was passionate but unbeknownst to them, someone had opened the door softly and was peeping through the small opening she had created. Suddenly Nkem, pushed the door wide open and called out for her mother ''mummyyyyyy!'' it sounded like an astonished cry as opposed to the regular call. ''Fúck sake!'' Belinda swore quietly.
