EPISODE 46
OLUCHI’S POV
I waited for Kenneth that day, but he wasn’t forth coming, normally he would drop the children with me at the shop.
Then he would come back two to three hours later, and take the children home.
Now he came this morning to drop the children, and this is almost 7pm which was my closing time, and he is still not yet back.
When Kenneth came to drop the children with me earlier, i had pleaded with mama to take the children with her to her shop which she agreed.
Now mama closed since 5pm as that was her usual closing time, then before she went home, she brought back my children to my shop.
I got really pissed off seeing my children around me, i wondered what has been keeping their father from coming to pick them as he ought to.
So this man literally dumped this children with me to go and enjoy himself abii, what a shameless lazy man……..I blurted out angrily.
He didn’t have a phone, i would have called him, to unleash my anger on him.
My children sat calmly at one spot staring at me with fear in their eyes.
When it was 8pm, I angrily closed my shop, and went home with my children.
On my way home with the children i kept cursing on Kenneth, wishing him evil for the stress he made me went through that evening.
When we got home, I reluctantly bath them, and made dinner for them, which was noodles.
I couldn’t even eat dinner, I was still fuming in anger, waiting to unleash my anger on Kenneth, when he comes back from wherever he went to.
I stayed up until 12midnight, but still yet, Kenneth didn’t showed up.
Then I became more furious in anger, thinking something else entirely.
So this man has started cheating on me with another woman?
He will explain to me why he his out this late, let him come home first…….I said angrily.
I didn’t even have time for my phone because I wasn’t in a good mood.
I stayed awake until 2am, before I started dozing off, then i layed on the bed and slept off.
The next morning i noticed Kenneth wasn’t yet back, then i became worried.
Different weird thought began coming to my mind, could it be that I Kenneth was kidnapped…….I thought worriedly.
When I got to the shop that morning with my children, Mama came to meet me, but I was looking so unhappy.
This one your face is like this, what is the problem, has Kenneth still not come back home?…….mama asked.
No he hasn’t oh, I am beginning to get scared now oh, Kenneth has never spent time outside he always comes home…….I replied in a whisper, with tears flowing down my cheeks.
Is that why you are crying?
I thought it was something better sef……. mama said scornfully, hissing loudly.
But mama Kenneth is still a human being, his only crime was that he was poor…….I said sadly.
Isn’t it better that he is gone for good, forget about him, he is not a kid, he will surely find his way home………mama replied.
I paused for a while, and thought about what my mother said, Kenneth isn’t a kid, so why am I even worried about him sef.
He can’t be kidnapped, who in his right sense’s would kidnap him, when he is looking so wretched and tattered.
You are right Mama, he will come back home, same way he left, he might even be enjoying himself with another woman sef………I said sarcastically.
Abi oh….mama replied.
Ehen that reminds me, i went to that woman’s place early this morning, and I got the kayanmata from her……..mama said give me something that was tied in a nylon.
What’s this?…….I asked curiously staring at the stuff.
It’s the love portion you will use on Alex, it’s in a powdered form, you will take from it and prepare any food or drink for Alex, and gbam, he will be glued to you…….mama said boastfully.
