CHAPTER 1

AUTHOR PAMELA.

One could begin with the dust as
Richærd Boyowa drove down the
expressway to Ibadan.
He sighed,he was going to have the
most boring month ever,a month to spend
in the village when his older brother whom
he could talk to as mature men was in
Uk.If he doesn’t visit now and his one
month leave expires,Baba might not
hesitate to travel to Lagos and berate his
ass.
He had already given him another
name,
“The prodigal son”.He really had to
see his family again, it’s been awhile.He
just had to make the best out of his stay
in the village.
When he finally arrived home,it was
late but just as he expected,Baba didn’t let
anyone go to bed,he had gathered them
up to welcome him…..his two wives and
five children excluding him and Tayo,his
older brother whom he had mentioned
earlier.
There was a shout of joy from the
household, which slowly subsided after
hugging everyone.They made merry,he
had a few drinks with his father before
retiring to bed for a good night rest.
Richærd was woken up terribly by a
hærd knock on the door,he angrily got up
to see who it was that disrupted his
humble sleep.
“Brother Kayode,Ekaaro”Remi
greeted,he was his immediate younger
brother.
“Ehh….Kilode?”He snapped.
“Baba wants to see you”Remi replied
and walked away.
He walked towards the front of the house
clad in just a singlet and pair of trousers.
He found his father in the company of
his friends.At this early hours of the
morning!He had already called his friends
together to listen to his sons
achievements.
“Ekaaro,Baba”He greeted and also
greeted all the old men.
Then Baba started talking,he told his
friends that his first son was doing well in
UK and his second son who was Kayode
as it was Richærd’s native name was a
graduate from unilag,had his masters in
London and was currently working in a
multinational company.
Richærd yawned,he needed more
sleep but Baba wouldn’t let him leave,he
wondered why old men love talking and
bragging.If he ever grow old,he didn’t want
to be a parrot like his father.
Bisi smiled seeing on seeing Richærd
walking into the kitchen.
“Ekaaro maami”He greeted returning
her warm smile,his mother had always
been his inspiration.He picked up a potato
and started peeling off the back.
Bisi loved the fact that the three boys
she had for her husband was doing very
well.A thought strucked her.
“Kayo, when will you bring home a
girl?”She asked, seriously.
Richærd thought about Christine,his
girlfriend,well,if he would marry her,it
wasn’t going to happen anytime soon at
all,he still had to enjoy life to the fullest
before getting focusing on one woman.
“Maami, I’m still young,you don’t
have to worry about that”Richærd assured.
Bisi sighed”That’s what you always tell
me”
“Relax,soon you’ll get to meet her, but
don’t misinterpret my ‘soon”He warned.
Bisi swatted him on the arm playfully and
they laughed,this son of hers had always
been so hærd to understand.
Richærd could hear someone shouting
that she wanted to buy water,no one was
around so he headed towards where they
had a pipe borne water at the side of the
compound.
He got there and met a girl standing,
her back was to him with a big black bowl
on her head,he turned on the upper
pipe.He didn’t know how to ask her for
money,if he should speak pidgin,Yoruba or
English, which one would she
understand.He decided to give it a try.
“How much for a bowl?”He asked.
“Twenty naira”She replied.
Richærd sighed and stared at the bowl on
her head,soon,it was filled up,he turned off
the tap.
She turned around to give him money
but he couldn’t move any part of his
body,she was extremely beautiful,a brown
skinned girl,her hair was packed in a
messy bun,well curved eyebrows, long
eyelashes, pointed nose and her lip were
full and curved like a well written
three…..oh!her br-asts were big and…….”
“Take”She said cutting him short
from his admirations.
“It’s free”He blurted out.
She frowned but thought it was her lucky
day.
“Thank you”She said and started
walking away.
Christ!Her buttocks were big and well
rounded as it shook with each step she
made.
Dimly,he was aware that his trousers
were getting so tight.
“Brother Kayo, Ekaaro o”He heard a
voice greeted him,he turned around,It was
Remi.
Richærd frowned.”How many times will you
greet me?”He asked, annoyed and str-de
towards the house,he knew that was just
a greeting to snap him out of his fantasy.
Well,he shrugged,his stay at the village
wouldn’t be boring after all for he had just
found a jewel.
The same girl came to buy water
again, though different girls came but
there was not a day that she didn’t come
to buy water.It was a daily routine, while
loverboy always tried to start fruitless
conversation with her but she seem to be
too busy to talk.Richærd too had taken it
as a daily routine to sell water to all the
buyers so as to always see this village
beauty.
One day,she came to fetch water
looking so pale.
“Are you okay?”He asked.
She nodded weakly.When her bowl was
filled up,she started walking,as she
walked on,she staggered.
Richærd hurried towards her,she
seemed like someone who would fall at
any time.As he got very close to her,she
couldn’t support the weight of the bowl
anylonger and gave up,the water poured
on Richærd soaking his clothes.He was
awestrucked.
“I….. I’m so sorry”She muttered.
“Oh!Maami funmi would kill me”She
added, staring at the empty bowl on the
ground.
Richærd closed the distance between
them,he was taller than her.
“You look really sick”He said bringing
his w-t hand to her forehead.
She flinched.
“You’re burning up!”He exclaimed and
held her right hand,he grabbed the bowl
then he headed back home,they stopped
at the front of the house.
“Wait here”He instructed and took
few steps.What if she leaves?He turned
around.
“You can’t go anywhere, wait here”He
warned and str-de off.
Richærd came back and found her
sitting on a rock nearby,he gave her some
medicines.
“They’ll help to bring down your
temperature”He said.
“Thank you”She muttered.
She watched as he did a shocking thing
by putting her bowl on his head,he called
out for Remi to come over and turn the tap
on.
Remi came and scoffed taking in the
scene.A playboy would always remain
one, this was his brother’s way of leaving
a good impression on this girl.
If Richærd had known that this bowl
was so heavy,he wouldn’t have
volunteered to help her,as he staggered
towards the direction of her house.She
laughed at the way he walked.
He shakily turned to face her and she
stifled it,she had already taken some of
the medicine he gave her.
When they finally got to her house,he
couldn’t thanks the heavens enough,he
poured the water into a big drum.He felt
his neck in a stiff position as he emptied
the water.
“Thank you so much”She said,
gratefully.
“It’s nothing really”He replied trying to
be cool and collective.
He stared at how her hair highlighted
those huge eyes and delicate lines of her
jaw and neck making her look so pretty,it
made him wonder how it would feel to be
in,side her body.
“I’m Richærd Boyowa but my family
call me Oluwakayode, Kayode for
short,who doesn’t know me around
here?”He asked, jokingly.
“City boy”She smiled.
Damn!She had dimples….they were
simply enchanting.
“I’m Tanure Ojaide”
“What a beautiful name for a
beautiful lady”He said and smiled inwardly
noticing that she was trying hærd not to
blush.He placed his hand on her shoulder
and stared into her eyes.
“Get well soon, okay?”With that,he
walked away.
Tanure watched as he walked stylishly.He
was really goodlooking and she wanted to
see him again.
A warning went off.
“He’s a city boy and city boys always
bring trouble”Her subconscious mind
reminded.
