PART 9
" THE SHENANIGANS"
©️Opeyemi Akintunde 

"This is my wife Osas!" Wisdom said .Osas stretched forth her hand for a handshake but Lefty couldn't imagine himself shaking the hand that looked like Icecream.

"Lefty!" Wisdom called his name to get him out of that state he was in..

" I am sorry ma, I can't shake your hands, my rough hands is an insult to your beautiful hands ma" Lefty said sincerely but it sounded like a joke in their ears as everyone burst out in laughter...

" Yeah, that's because she is the one that spends all the money I make from scouting all around the world"

" No, you met me this classy!" Osas said cutely.

Lefty felt something move in his heart. He knew that familiar feeling. It was the feeling of falling for someone.  

"Guy, you are crazy oo, your village people have escorted you here, you better don't end up in prison for falling for your helper's wife" Lefty cautioned himself 

Lefty intentional took his mind off her and by so doing he avoided any eye contact even though he could sense she was staring at him. She had beautiful piercing eyes.

Lefty reminded himself the reason he was in that house; he needed to get the meeting done with and return to his house...

"This is Aunty Gloria and the girl I told you about!" Osas said

" The one who gave you sleepless night?" Wisdom asked feigning ignorance. 

" Yes the very one, it felt like someone sat by my side of our bed reminding me about  her. You sure pray a lot?"Osas said smiling

" Not really, but I am a church girl; I pratically go to church almost everyday." Morayo said trying to maintain balance. She didn't want to be seen as too churchy.

"Then your everyday church has paved way for you" Wisdom said smiling so cutely

" Her husband is so handsome" Morayo said within her.

" Not only that, her mother was a good and godly woman, she was my neighbor, unlike other troublesome women, she was the only Neighbor who never fought with me. The others were envious of my business sucess" 

" That's good to know." Wisdom said faking his smile. He needed to get the nosy woman out of their game.

" It was nice meeting you ma. We have an online meeting to attend to" Wisdom said referring to himself and Lefty.

" Ok sir, I will be leaving soon as well." Aunty Gloria said implying he should show some benevolence towards her. Wisdom immediately got the drift. 

" Honey, please can you give Aunty 500 for her taxi"

Aunty Gloria felt like she had been slapped. What an insult! Five hundred Naira. They had spent close to Five thousand Naira to get there.

" Don't bother, I have enough for my taxi. I am just doing this for her mother's sake, I believe she will pay me back in the future" Aunty Gloria said

" Aunty Gloria, you don't want five hundred thousand?" Osas said winking at Aunty Gloria. 

Time stopped immediately for Aunty Gloria, Morayo and Lefty. 

" Five hundred thousand?" Osas repeated again with her eyes widely opened this time

" Aunty!, you thought I meant Five hundred naira! That would be ridiculous ma!" Wisdom said

" Ha! My...in..law..I mean sir... Governor, I mean President sir.." Aunty Gloria's brain wires started sparking...She instantly lost her sense of coherence...

" Aunty Gloria!" Osas said laughing " It's fine!" 

" Alright honey! I will be in the meeting for a while" Wisdom said as he led Lefty into a beautiful furnished Study.  The Study had its own Living room and conference table. Lefty had never seen that kind of elegance and sophistication in his life. 

"Please have your seat Lefty, while I set up the meeting." Wisdom said

" Help yourself to any of that!" Wisdom said pointing to a small bar in the corner of the room.

" I am fine!"

" You don't drink?"

" Yes!"

" Hmm... Coach will definitely like you!" Wisdom said as he settled down to the Ultra Slim Laptop on the table with his back to the TV screen. The Large TV screen popped up and Lefty guessed whatever Wisdom was doing on the Laptop was being projected on the screen.  Lefty saw Wisdom clicking on an Icon "SHE". He typed his username and password. At that point, Wisdom looked up and was shocked seeing Lefty staring at the screen behind mind.

" What the...." Wisdom shouted... " My bad! So sorry, this was not meant to be connected" Wisdom couldn't believe his carelessness.   Whoever used the project house last had some serious explanations to give. He or She didn't disconnect the system from the TV Screen...

" I actually didn't see anything, I was just taken away by the size of the screen" Lefty said trying to make light of whatever error he must have committed by seeing his username and password.

" Oh! You have never seen a screen as big as this?" Wisdom said trying to calm himself down

" Yes!"

" Well, one day you will own one of these, because this is the kind of big screen players use in watching games"

" Oh Really?"

" Yes!"

"Mr Wisdom, please help me, I assure you I will be a good boy!" 

Wisdom stared at him...

" Speaking about being a good boy, I guess it would be best if we discussed my commission in all of these if Coach signs you up."

" What's your offer?" Lefty asked

" I am not greedy, so let's do 70/30 on all your income for the first five years. After that,  whatever you give me will be  of your free will."

" Who will be taking the 70%?" Lefty asked

" Me!" Wisdom said

" Oh! No problem sir! The money is not what is important to me. Just seeing myself on a Mayor Club's Jersey will be the highest point of my life."

" Ok! You just passed the first test. I am taking 30% not 70%, i wanted to be sure you are not the greedy type."

" I am not sir!"

" Then, let the game begin!" Wisdom said smiling. He smiled at his victory. This game was very desperate and desperate games are easy to be hunted down."

******
Morayo had not recovered from the five hundred thousand naira taxi fare. She kept staring absentmindedly at Osas who had brought out  the cash of five hundred thousand from the room.

" Osas, this husband of yours na big jackpot ooo" Aunty Gloria

" Yes ooo, he works with all these popular footballers, you see that guy that just went in with him, months from now, you won't recognize him again. He will help him to be signed up by one of these foreign clubs that pay big money. Any lady who is fortunate to grab the guy now will thank her stars in the next three months" Osas said strategically planting that thought in Morayo's heart for future use...

******
Adio saw himself on his farm. The farm was not yielding anything. He sat down disappointed in himself. From where he sat, he saw his children trying to plant some seeds. Almost simultaneously, from behind him, a hand tapped him and said to him...

"Though, your land has not been productive,  if you can encourage your children in their planting, you will eat from their labour. Rise up and encourage them instead of wallowing in self pity and drunkenness"..

Adio looked towards where his children were, but one of them was missing... Morayo...

" Where is your daughter?" The man asked him...

" Where is Morayo?" Adio asked himself

*****
Adio struggled to snap out of his sleep thanks to his hangover. He remembered faintly he had a dream but he couldn't remember what it was about,  but he could remember a statement...

" Where is your daughter?"

Evil 1

Evil 1 ……………………………….. Ruth walked along the pedestrian way with bags hanging from her hands. She dragged her tired feet with her mind focused on reaching her destination; her home. She’d gone out as usual to sample some textile materials to people and hoped they would buy. That was her business and the family depended majorly on the income from it. Her husband, Tunde, had become almost dependent since after losing his job in a bottling company some years back. Since then, he had refused fo seek for a permanent employment and only engaged in ‘adhoc’ employments which came once in a while. Sadly, she made no sales that day after trekking around the town under the scorching sun. As she walked carrying her bags of textile materials and hoping to get home before her tired legs would give way, a mad man walked briskly past her. It was not a thing to worry about as mad people were common sights around the town. But after taking a few steps forward, the mad man ran back and tapped her on the s...

COMING TO LAGOS      CONTINUATION. . . Coming To Lagos. . . Ep 12 Anita. I haven’t called her yet since the dream I had. I decided to try her number. “Hello! Hello!!” I said into the receiver as I couldn’t hear anything from the other end but she had picked the call. I had to put my phone on speaker to support the normal speaker and that was when I heard it. “What’s wrong, Anita? Are you crying?” “He wants to kell me.” “Who? Who wants to kell you?” I asked sitting up on my bed. “My boyfriend. . . He. . He wants to kill me.” “Where are you?” “I’m inside and I have locked the door. I heard him stepping out and once he returns, he’ll kill me.” “No matter what us happening, you can’t sleep there tonight. Have you called anyone whom you can stay with?” “I just called two of my friends but the said they’re not around. I’m dead.” She begins to weep again. I couldn’t help but wonder what must have happened but he’s just her boyfriend, why would he hit her? After few minutes of si...

My mother married my husband 6

-
My mother married my husband Episode 6 I didn't have anywhere to sleep, I couldn't go back to the village. People will begin to ask questions, I sold all the jewelry Femi bought for me since we got married. I used the money to rent a small apartment, got a bed, and other little things I needed.  The compound wasn't much but I had to manage knowing it's my starting point in life. I never got rid of my son's clothes, I made sure they where still safe in his boxes. Sometimes I sleep on them, imaging he was there with me.  I got back to the hospital for my son's body, I wept so much when I saw jimmy cold and stiff in a white dress. I took to the general cemetery and buried him, my tears that day knew no bounds.  I felt like dying with Jimmy, I felt like all hope was lost. I sat close to his grave singing his favourite gospel song, telling him how much I miss him and love him.  "Jimmy I promise you on this day January 3rd 2015, I will never forget you, I will ne...
