“Is anyone home?” She shouted to Temitope hearing. She dropped her phone on the bed and rushed out.

“Ah, my sister-in-law, good morning ma. How is everyone and family? She greet her.

“We are all doing fine. Why did mama sleep here and with a mopping stick beside her?” She asked.

“Oh! She said that she love sleeping on the chair and for that mopping stick, I was the one cleaning the sitting room before I rushed into my room to pick my phone”. She lied

“That’s good, I just want to play with you guys today, that was why I come”.

“What should I offer you ma?”

“Orange juice is okay for now because I have eaten at home before coming here”.

“Alright ma” she went to the fridge and poured the juice into the glass cup before handling it to her.

“Thanks my wife” .she thanked her while she went into her room back.

Rebecca dranked the juice finish and started watching movies. She got tired of watching it and slept off.

Not long,
Mama woke up and found Rebecca sleeping, tope also came out of her room.

“Your job-less sister is here to see you but unfortunately for her, she met you asleep. Now listen and listen good. If she wakes up and ask you any questions, tell her not to worry about you and start leaving. You must not tell her anything, if you does that….you know we are the only person living in this house, I will deal with you during her absence”she warned mama while she nodded her head.

“That’s good, what should I prepare for you, since your sister is around, let me prepare the food for you guys and mind you, the food I prepre for you this afternoon will be the last food you will receive from me today, understood!

“Yes dear” mama replied while she went in to cook for the family.

Back at ibikunle place.
He called his wife on the phone but she didn’t pick it. He sighed out loud and pick up a newspaper. He read the first and second content but still yet …..

His mind is with his wife. He walked out of the hotel room to the bar and ordered two bottles of wine.

He just poured the content in,side the glass when jumoke startled him.

“Gotcha!!!! She exclaimed while he spilled the wine on the table.

“So, you are not a man, see how startled you are…..

“But, what is the meaning of all this? Is there something wröng with you?” He asked in anger.

“I know what makes you angry, I will clean the mess. She bend down and clean the table with a smile. Ibikunle looked away. He don’t understand the reason why a lady will be that tro-ubles-ome.

“Why don’t you call me?” She asked sitting in his front.

“Wait! Are you monitoring me all around?” Asked her with a big frown on his face.

“I am not monitoring you, let’s say coincidence. So, why don’t you call me?”.

“I am married and I don’t call single ladies. I don’t like ladies at oooooollllll”.

“Really?”.
“Can you prove it to me?” She. Jokingly asked.

“Are you tempting me to….

“Let’s wait and see” she said picking up his glass cup and gulped down the content.

“This taste so nice, you have eyes for good things. Won’t you entertain me?” She asked him.

“Excuse me young lady” a baritone voice interrupted her while she looked up.

A man in his late forties is standing beside her.

“Can I see you for a moment?” He asked while she look into ibikunle face for a go ahead.

“You can go, what concerns me there” ibikunle shouted at her while she left with the man.

After she left, he felt a ting of jeal-ous in him but waved it off.

Jumoke didn’t ret-rn on time. He stand up to look for her.

The truth is…..
He always enjoy her company….
She is jovial…..
