Complications...........vita brevis

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! For a week, she refused to greet me or study along with me, my beloveth; malt was very scarce. The store seems to be an earthly hell; I heard curses and hiss(s) every corner. It was the worse week of my life. I owned no explanation to Yemisi, and I am not going to grovel at Bisola’s feet. ***************************************************************************** “Hi” I looked back and saw a fat Busola looking at me; she was ‘sizing me up’, I replied shortly “yes?” “Is that how to greet your in-law?” she questioned. I laughed, “These girls has the same tactics” I said to my self. “I heard you are a proud guy, my name is Busola” she smiled “I realize we don’t talk, can we be friends?” she gave me a funny face; I was not in the mood for kids play. “Will you teach me too, I will also be your girlfriend, I will give you money and anything you request of me” she continued. On hearing that, my muscles cried for joy. “Let me think about it” I repl...

Bisola came to our room one late Sunday; it was a surprise, something no one was expecting. Her kid sister was ‘Uche’s friend now, she even bought a phone for him. “You have been avoiding me for several weeks since we came here, why are you here? I asked, faking a frown. After our first encounter at the store, she has been avoiding me; she was always in her mum’s office. “I am not avoiding you” she snapped. “I don’t know you to start with” she concluded. “Whatever, how may I help you? She sigh “The other day you were quoting something from physics, am not a fan of physics but its compulsory I pass it” “So? “Can we study together? She asked. She was pleading with her eye. “Am just a commoner, what makes you think we can study together? “Uche told me” “I go kill dat boy” It seems Uche is now part of the family “How much? She asked, getting impatient I laughed “Do you think you can buy me with money? “I know you lost your parents before they could teach you mann...

  “I’ll take the senior, you take the aburo” I said with a smile “You dey mad, why uno take the junior while I take the senior? Uche said with a frown I replied angrily, “e be like say were de your head, ema wo oloriburuku yii oo, nobime give u d plan? “I don turn your oloribuku abi? “Just accept it like that” I smiled at him. “What are you guys talking about? Mo’ asked. “It seems am being left out” he concluded “Google it” I answered him. ‘Uche and I bust out laughing……………. Chief Bankole was our boss, he is businessman who owns a fish farm, he is also into car dealership, his wife; Chief Mrs. Bolatito   owns a retail outlet, more or less like shoprite, she employed me as a sales boy. Busola and Bisola were the only daughters they had, they aged 16 and 18 respectively, and personally they cannot be considered as pretty girls but considering the circumstances, we have to accept them. Bisola was preparing for her A’ level examination, she helps her mum in sh...

“Bastards” the chief shouted with much disdain in his voice. “Wait let me get my gun” he concluded with his back turned towards us. We quickly gathered our bags and cloths off the floor and fled the compound, it was a race for life; adrenaline pumped in my system. At last, we looked back and laughed……………………….. Six months ago I was a village boy, schooling and hustling; my parents are dead. I lived with an uncle and aunt who don’t care how I lived my life. I was coming from farm one day when I saw Toyin’s mum in front of our mud house; Toyin was my last girlfriend in our village. She sat down wailing and cursing her self, her mum was also cursing me. That was the day I was waiting for, I entered my room through the window, packed my secondary school certificate and the cloths ‘corper debby’ bought for me. ‘Corper debby’ was a very endowed teacher, she was posted to our village for her youth service corps. She was a nymphomaniac, she initiated me to the world of kumasutra; I ...
