TAKING CHANCES

EPISODE 2 The rest of the ceremony dragged on slowly, Jide's anger increased with each activities they observed that was stipulated on the program menu. When it was time to feed eachother the cake, Jide almost stuffed Daisy with the cake, that act had given him pleasure. 'serves her right' he thought to himself. Daisy had however tenderly given him his part of the cake, but inside she was burning with anger, Jide was really acting s.tu.pid and childish, she thought, he didn't have to be so wicked trying to choke her with the cake, so she would cough out her pitiable self infront of all these people. Well, she wouldn't retaliate because there was no telling what lay in the sleeves of this husband of hers, and so she carried on the facade of the happiest bride on her happiest day. How hard it was! Also, during the couple dance, No matter how ostentatious Daisy had tried to be, it was obvious that the rift between them was far from friendly much less conjugal, those who had an inkling that somethings were wrong with this couple could really rest their case. Because Jide had been miles apart from Daisy and seemed to be dancing with one of the female guests who had come to dance with them, even the M.C observed that and chipped in: 'It seems our groom here can't tell the difference between a lady on white and one on red' But jide was far from caring, if they wanted a dance, he reasoned, then dance he must give them, no matter who was on the receiving end. He so hated his wedding and loved every opportunity he could get to create a scene, that would atleast teach his manipulative family spearheaded by his grandmother to stop meddling with the affairs of a grown man, he had had his misgivings about working in the family company, which meant he had to see the face of his over bearing father and annoying brother almost on a daily basis, an interaction which had finally led him to this sham of a union. And although it was too late to turn back the hands of time, it wasn't too late to create a media scandal that would get through the thick skin of his family. This dance was therefore, short of the expectations of what lay ahead for them and their docile pet, Daisy. The wedding finally ended at about 6pm, Jide, to the chagrin of everyone wasn't available to give a 'vote of thanks', it was said by his father, he had left halfway during the presentation of gifts and his space was filled by Ade, that act had almost brought Daisy to tears, it took words of encouragement from Ade to calm her, he had said: 'Daisy don't work yourself up unnecessarily, Jide can be impulsive atimes, but he's a wonderful guy most times' 'yeah right' Daisy had snorted in reply. The other reason why she was smiling was because she was receiving gifts from the guests, gifts that seem to go on forever. The Olukoyas had friends who were very generous, she hoped she would soon get mixed in their world. 'Well, this is enough to compensate all my loss right now' she thought, calming herself. But at about 7pm, Jide still had not shown up, his number wasn't connecting and nobody could say for sure where he went. 'this is an exclusive case oh', it has always been the bride who gets missing before or after the wedding not the groom, this definitely is a shockker' Ade had replied dryly to Jide's father when he had asked him of Jide's whereabouts. 'That's how silly and childish Jide is, let me just set my eyes on him, he will surely have a piece of me' his father had replied angrily and stormed off to go quiz more of his friends. Ade had just shook his head, and walked towards the exit door, he was already tired of Jide's attitude and the drama of the whole evening, 'whatever happened to pretending' he said to himself. Daisy on her part had calmly gone to one of the rooms they rented in Queens hotel to moan her situation, she just wanted to be far from everybody. Although she did not expect the wedding to be so rosy, she hadn't imagined it would be this bad, she was starting to regret everything now. She wondered when her tears would break forth, she was showing so much strength and calmness than she ever knew she had. 'You never know how strong you are until you have to be strong' she said quietly to herself as she slowly lay on the bed she had been sitting on. Just then she heard a knock, she didn't feel like seeing anybody. 'Why wont they leave me alone for once' she cried silently without making a move to see who had knocked. The door opened and in came Jide's grandmother 'Daisy Omo mi' she said going to seat by her on the bed 'Am really sorry for all that happened today, Jide was so...' 'Mama its ok, there's no need to feel sorry' cut in Daisy then she squeezed herself more, her wedding gown protested the act. 'Only God knows all the pain you're going through now, noone envisioned that it would turn out this way, on behalf of the family, i must take the...' :::: Ladies and gentlemen,here we go again. Please invite everybody o I hope you guys are ready for this one?

EPISODE 3 'Mama please, if there's anyone to blame here, its me. Am the one who fell in love with a man like Jide, i did nothing to stop this imminent crash because of this...this...this...'she couldn't describe it. '...love, that is causing me so much sorrow' she completed, still lying down. 'Please don't be hard on yourself Daisy' Mama cooed, tenderly stroking her arm. 'Am okay. I just want to be left alone for now' She said. Daisy really loved this woman who has been more than a mother to her during her years in the United States, but right now, she was irritating her with her insistence of crying over spilled milk. The best she could do now, was to let her be. Mama as if reading her thoughts, stood up. 'I also came to tell you that Jide is around now, but he's having a word with his father. He will join you shortly' mama said walking away. Daisy said nothing, what was she expected to say Thank God? Jide could bloody well get missing again for all she cared. Yet deep down in her heart, she knew she cared. The reason she married him in the first place. When mama got to the door, she stood for some second as if contemplating what to say. Finally she uttered: 'please take it easy on yourself, it will be fine' then she shut the door quietly. Daisy still said nothing. She just slept still in her pile of white lace, she wasn't crying, she just didn't know how she felt. Some minutes later she heard a soft knock on the door, exasperated, she shook her head mentally 'why wont this people ever hear!' The door opened and in came her step mum 'Chinwe' her stepmother called softly 'Are you sleeping?' immediately she heard her Igbo name, she stood up quickly from her bed. There was only one person in the wedding who knew her by that name. 'Aunty, no am not sleeping, i was just...' she stopped talking and looked down at the bulge of her gown, she was tired of putting up appearances. 'oh Chinwe' her step mum said and went towards her, extending her arm to embrace her. Daisy walked into her open arm, she felt a heaviness in her heart, then she knew the tears would soon come. But why now in front of her? The very person it shouldn't. 'Am sorry i couldnt support you enough' her aunty said patting her back. 'You tried the best you could, i just wish...wish...my father was here now or even my mother' the tears had finally let down and Daisy was now crying. 'This was what your father had seen that made him put up strong opposition' 'Even if no one believes me, i love Jide, that's why i married him' Daisy said with a teary tone 'you don't know what you're saying child' her stepmother replied, Daisy disentangled from the embrace and her stepmum led her to the bed. She was still crying softly. 'He obviously doesn't love you back' aunty said as they both sat down. 'He...he...i don't know' Daisy had wanted to defend Jide 'Its okay, just relax, everything will be fine' aunty finally said. Daisy nodded her head and rested it on her aunty's shoulder. They stayed that way for minutes. This bond they now seemed to share was new to Daisy, it wasn't as if they were enemies, but they had always been distanced, each acknowledging the other but not really bonding. Whenever she came home to Nigeria, she often stayed in her father's house, she couldn't stand her step siblings attitude towards her, but the few times she did, Mrs Amaka Okechukwu was civil to her and treated her fairly well, Daisy hadn't cared to get any closer, afterall it was this woman who took her mother's place, keeping her at arms length was just fine. The relationship she had with her father didn't fair any better, she had one or two grudges against him, and the part he had played in this marriage would definitely fuel the grudge. Thinking about all these things made her cry the more. 'Calm yourself now' her aunty said softly. A phone rang just then, it was her aunty's. Mrs Amaka picked it up saw the caller and cut the call. Daisy shifted away from her as she made to stand up. Standing up she said: 'That was your father, obviously worried, i must get going now, you know how it is with Lagos traffic at night and on Saturdays?' She didn't really know but she nodded, wiping the tears from her eyes, they are now red and a bit swollen. 'just tell dad... everything was fine' she said 'I will' her aunty nodded knowingly. Her phone rang again. 'its him, i must go, pls take care and stop crying, everything will be fine. See you at the church tomorrow, Okay? Bye' she finally said and started walking away, her phone kept ringing. When she got to the door, she waved Daisy before stepping out. Then she closed the door softly behind her. 'Why is everyone saying everything will be fine when nothing looks fine' Daisy wondered as she started Laying down again, midway, the door opened, she stood up abruptly and in came the object of her woe, Jide. 'Mrs' he drawled 'its time to go, forever after awaits' he said with sarcasm. then started walking away, but stopped when he noticed she hadn't made a move to stand. 'And you better not keep me waiting!' he almost shouted and stormed off. Daisy slowly stood up and walked out to the future that awaits her. ****************

EPISODE 4 The drive home at half past eight was not smooth sailing, Jide was very angry and irritable all through, he cursed and yelled at any motorist who was unfortunate enough to make a reasonable mistake, or those that were not in line with Jide's 'driving rules'. He shouted at hawkers who came to sell their wares at his window and screamed abusive words at motorcyclist who flooded the road. 'Does it look like i need bread or anything?' he yelled at one of the hawkers who displayed bread on his window during the 'hold-up' 'okay make i call the guy wey dey sell champagne' the bread seller replied innocently. The guy had noticed that he was speaking to newly wed's, even though all the decorations on the car were gone and the 'just wedded' insignia that was pasted at the number plate of the car, had been ripped off by Jide and tore into uncountable pieces. 'you must be very S.tu.pid' Jide shouted hitting his hands on the wheel 'Abeg oga take am easy, no be marry, you just marry' the seller replied angrily. Jide wanted to come down and beat the lights out of the guy if not that the traffic jam they were in just cleared and the car in front of him had moved on, while those at his back started their impatient horn. 'God saved you' he screamed at the guy through his window before driving off. 'I don't know why this riff rats are allowed to stay on the roads to become such nuisance' he muttered angrily under his breath. Daisy was calmly seated at the other side, she would have loved the bread, at the mention of which her stomach churned, she had only eaten a hurried breakfast before the church service, and then there was that cake that almost choked her and a little wine she drank after the toast. That was all the meal she had eaten today. But she dared not mention it to Jide ears else he would turn her into white bread either verbally or physically. One thing she had learned about her husband was that he had a very bad temper which can make him irrational and impulsive, whether he regretted his actions later was one fact she didn't know or wish to know. She wondered what kind of newly wed's drove home by this time, but then, her wedding wasn't the conventional type, it was fraught with scandals and dramas, everybody in the Olukoya's family were angry, all except her offcourse, she was now part of the family indeed, this thought made her smile briefly, she caught herself and cast a side glance at the man who was now her husband, even now, she reasoned, he looked devilish and handsome- if ever a combination like that existed, that lips which had attracted and seduced her in the picture were now curved in a frown, she concluded that he had obviously eaten for him to have all the will power to stay angry. Her stomach was seriously rioting, none of the assorted meals that were cooked at the wedding tasted her lips. She just hoped she could find something to eat at the new home which awaits her. A home she was visiting for the first time. ********* Daisy woke up with a start, how long she had been sleeping she couldn't tell, she had slept off in between all her musing, she looked out of the window to discover that they were no longer on the busy road, they were on a street with identical houses on both sides, the houses were predominantly bungalows with few scattered one-storey buildings, they were patterned the same nevertheless, must be an estate she thought and stole a glance at Jide. He was driving slowly now and his face didn't hold so much scowl and anger it had some while ago. Whatever calmed him down she thought. Unknown to her, while she was sleeping, her gown had tumbled around her in disarray and her hair carelessly strewn around her face, the pins that held them up had fallen since, Jide had gazed at her, she looked prettier to him when she was asleep, all traces of sadness gone from her face. A sadness he knew he contributed in, even caused. The neckline of her gown had shifted a bit exposing her cleavage, they were lovely, just the size he liked, something in between big and small. Immediately he caught himself, not liking the path his thoughts were taking. He felt guilt for admiring a woman whom he had plainly shown he hated, 'well, she's supposed to be my wife' he defended, but deep down he knew that he didn't really hate her, he was angry over the fact that she allowed herself to be manipulated by his family, he should be justified for the anger he felt at everyone-his family and even his wife...what was her name again...Daisy. And so he forced himself to concentrate on the road. Not long after, Daisy had woken up. The car stopped in front of a black gate, Jide horned severally, no response, he was getting impatient and his temper was ascending. Daisy felt like cursing whoever it was that didn't open the gate.

SO SORRY I COULDNT UPDATE YESTERDAY

EPISODE 5 Just then a middle aged man dressed in a long flowing robe came out through the small gate, bowed and muttered something before disappearing inside to go open the bigger gate. 'The f.ool! always sleeping on duty' Jide said angrily. Soon they were driving into the compound, Daisy eyes instantly became busy scanning her environment. When the car stopped. Jide got out first and slammed his door, this jolted Daisy who gathered her gown, opened the door and came out. The gateman was already at their side. 'Oga, good evening' he greeted, Jide didn't answer him, he just pressed the lock button in his car keys and started walking. The gateman waved to Daisy smiling, she waved back. It really was a shock to him to see a lady on a wedding gown with his Oga who is also on suit. Jide had kept his wedding a secret, his house keepers didn't know, much less his neighbours, but then it was a 'mind your business' neighbourhood which suited Jide just fine. 'Oga, Madam fine well well' the gateman exclaimed, Jide heard him from where he was fumbling with the door. 'Why don't you stick to your business for once Adamu' Jide shouted back, before entering inside. 'Its okay, thanks for the compliment' Daisy said, she had a slight American accent, developed during her years in the States. 'what's your name?' she asked 'Adamu ma' the gateman replied smiling sheepishly 'Adamu it is then, see you tomorrow' Daisy said walking away. 'Ok madam' Adamu replied. He walked down to his tiny room that adjoined the gate, he looked back severally at the retreating figure of Daisy, he was going to like this his Madam he thought. Daisy walked inbetween the shrubs that led to the door. The shrub formed a 'Y' shape towards the front porch of the blue painted bungalow. It was well trimmed, the compound she noticed, was a bit spacious, to her left was a tennis lawn with an adjoining basketball post, 'no wonder he looks fit' she thought. To her right was a small swimming pool with few chairs arranged close by, that man sure liked to be comfortable. 'not bad...' she said 'i will surely need that'. She moved on, she had been standing during the exploration. When she opened the door, what she saw didn't amaze her, the parlour had the aura of a bachelor crib, It was decorated predominantly with blue. The settee were dark blue, the curtain that led to the hallway was blue, the wall paint was a light blue, they were hi-tech musical appliances at one side of the parlour, she could also see the dining room, typical male, she thought as she went to seat on one of the settee. 'Home it is' she said drily, kicking off her heel shoes, she felt sore all over. What a day indeed, she thought. Jide was nowhere in sight, 'good' she said to herself, she didn't feel like seeing him now. Slowly she lay on the settee, she was very tired and hungry. The pangs of hunger jolted her again, she sat up and now wished to see Jide, if atleast to get a meal, her eyes moved to the clock hung just above the Plasma television, it was quarter to 10! And she was still on her gown? This was worst than a nightmare! She almost exclaimed. Just then, Jide walked in, he was all freshness, he had taken his bath, the light jersey he wore clinged to his body just too perfectly, Daisy thought, that had earned her a feeling way down in the pit of her stomach. 'For Jeez sake, Daisy!' she chastised herself silently 'this man has treated you less than human and you still feel this way for him?' she mentally gave herself a knock. Jide didn't even act like they was someone in his parlour, he just walked past Daisy, picked up the remote on a nearby side stool, pressing it, he sat down on the chair directly opposite the television. Immediately the television lights came up and few seconds later, a wrestling match surfaced. He threw the remote onto a nearby chair, raised his legs unto the chairs and focused his attention on the match. Daisy was short of words to say, she felt so like crying, did he hate her that much? She thought. Yet nothing, not a move or realisation from Jide. It was then obvious to her, she had to make a move if she wanted to come out of these annoying gown, 'cos that man sitting over there doesn't seem to care one bit. As if to confirm her thought, Jide smiled, obviously at something or someone in the wrestling match. Maybe he had forgotten her or he was just pretending. Daisy wasn't sure. Daisy stood up slowly, she was too spent to feel angry, had she expected Jide to carry her high up in his arms unto their 'matrimonial' bed and give her the best wedding night ever? Yeah right that's if pigs finally knew how to fly, she snorted. 'Jide i need to freshen up and i'm hungry' she said calmly. Somehow she knew that she dared not raise her voice if she didn't want to bring his irritable temper to fore for that would only worsen her situation.

EPISODE 6 Jide didn't reply immediately, he just stretched forth his hand to pick up the remote where it sat. After which he started pressing its buttons, midway in the act he spoke: 'Mrs Olukoya' he drawled sarcastically 'the kitchen is over there through the dining and the bedroom is in the hallway behind that curtain' he continued pressing the buttons of the remote without as much as a glance towards Daisy. 'Besides...' he continued 'since this is technically now your home, i expect you do the maths yourself and explore it the way you explored the exterior' he completed, then placed the remote by his side, and stretched himself on the chair, a sign that she was dismissed. Daisy said nothing, so he had noticed? This was the longest he had ever spoken to her since this issue started a month ago, but then again, they hardly knew eachother well before the whole marriage ish began. she quietly bent down, picked up her shoes and walked out of his presence to go start her 'exploration' Jide still didn't move, he felt his temper rising and was fighting hard to control it. What was it about her that angered him so? He couldn't fathom, It wasn't worth the trouble now, he mused waving his hands mentally. Daisy feet took her first to the kitchen, she was really hungry and any food she saw now would be jackpot. But she was disappointed, the kitchen was sparkling clean, but no food was in sight. She only saw an unopened bag of rice, but didn't see any accompanying ingredient, but then she couldn't possibly cook now! Considering the time and the dress she was still wearing. Just then another issue hit her, what was she going to wear after she bathed? All her clothes were over at the family house in Victoria Island. This is gonna be a long night, she said to herself. Thinking about this, she walked out into the dining, there she saw some beverages on the table, immediately then she wished she had braved up to tell Jide to buy that bread back then on the road. Oh well, she should be grateful for this atleast. She made herself a cold cup of tea after which she walked down to go explore the hallway. **************** The hallway was dimly lit, they were four doors, two on both sides, Daisy wondered which, was the supposed bedroom, well explore he had said, and explore she would. She went over to the door at her left, it was locked, 'can't be this' she said, then over to the right door opposite she went, the door gave in without a sound, she peeped inside, it was the bedroom. 'quick luck' she said as she walked in. The room was sparsely decorated, the walls were painted white, a huge bed loomed in front of her, a large dressing mirror was close by and few steps away was the wardrobe. The room was neat, like every other part of the house, he must be a neatness freak she concluded. Few minutes later, Daisy came out of the adjoining bathroom, draped in a towel that hardly covered her, it was all she could find. The problem of what to wear resurfaced. She looked at the disgusting pile of her wedding gown. 'Ain't gonna be that' she muttered and marched to the wardrobe for more exploration. Few minutes later she was on Jide's T.shirt and walking down the hallway to the parlor. Shontelle's 'Nothing but your T.shirt on' song was playing in her mind. She found herself humming the song, Inspite of her situation, well it described her perfectly she thought. She was totally Unclad under this huge shirt of Jide's and oddly, she felt good about it, his perfume, though faint, exuding from the shirt did wonders to her nerves and she found herself thinking that everything might just be fine afterall. Maybe she was feeling a little sexy too. This made her smile. Daisy was a huge suckker for music, she didn't just love the rhythm, she paid attention to the lyrics even learnt it. Every song, she had reasoned address every life's experience, you just had to know when to apply them and let the song massage and soothe your nerves. Her love for music was so great that her mum her teased about it wondering why she wanted to read nursing instead of music. That was long ago before she passed away. Daisy was now in the parlor, the light were switched off. Though light from the windows illuminated it lightly. Jide was now sleeping and snoring away though not loudly, he had moved to the bigger chair and, television was off. 'so he even snores' she said to herself 'behind all those handsomeness' she giggled walking to the kitchen. In the kitchen, she stood, momentarily lost on why on why she had come. Then it hit her. Juice! She came searching for juice. She walked to the fridge and opened it quickly. Nothing! Just a few can of Star beer. She looked around, soon she was at the cupboard that hung up, even as she searched vigorously she knew it was futile. Whoever kept juice in cupboard she thought resignedly. She was a bundle of nerves now, So much for feeling sexy and good a while ago. The night couldn't get any worse! Daisy leaned upon the cooking platform, she felt a tear drop, this was the straw that broke the camel's back. How was she going to survive this Night when the cravings began, 'juice craziness' her mum had referred to it. Whatever it was, she never skipped it, the consequences were grave. But now she would, on her wedding night of all nights! She pitied herself and hated the love which so clouded her senses. Minutes later when she walked past the sleeping Jide towards the hallway leading to the bedroom, she wished that none of her friends or family would ever dare gamble with love and take the chance her foolish self did.

EPISODE 7 Daisy woke up rather late this morning for she was an early riser, the bed-side clock showed the time to be 7:30am, but Daisy made no move to stand, instead she curled up further into the blanket, she was feeling sick and her head really hurts. This was an aftermath of skipping her nightly dose of juice and as she had predicated, the consequence had been grave, it shook her like an earthquake. She had all but consciously walked to the kitchen at about 2am earlier that morning for that was the time the craving begins. Still not fully awake, she searched the fridge and cupboards looking for Juice, it was minutes later that it dawned on her that She wasn't in her apartment in Boston. But by then, the kitchen was a mess, things were out of their place and sprawled on the floor while cupboards and cabinets lay open. Daisy didn't care, she remembered then that she had searched before so she just walked like a zombie to her room, half noticing Jide who was snoring away, oblivious of the noise she had made. When she got back to the room, her trouble doubled, for minutes later, she started sweating profusely, her body shaking uncontrollably, the worms gnawed at her intestine and she felt a sickening sensation, she was a pile of wreck, more like a drug addict who didn't get a dose of drug. She was deeply addicted to juice, her hungry stomach compounded the problem and she found herself visiting the toilet to vomit now and then, nothing came out for her stomach was more or less empty, but she went back again nevertheless. She couldn't sleep, for hours she just sat on the floor, her back resting on the bed and her hands on her head. It was hours later that sleep came knocking and slowly she had dragged herself to bed. The reason she woke up late this morning. Daisy now rolled to the other side of the bed, she was still queasy. She suddenly remembered what Today was. Sunday! and it was their wedding thanksgiving service, still she made no move to stand. It wasn't as if there was anything to wear, and her phone wasn't with her, in all of yesterday activities, she didn't know who she had given it, and she was sure Jide wouldn't bother calling the family house. Well, she wasn't feeling any better herself. Soon she heard noises. She attuned her ears to it, it was coming from the parlour. 'Kilonshe gbogbo awon omode yi!' someone had shouted. She guessed it to be that of Jide's father, that must mean the family were here she reasoned. Slowly she started rising up, but stopped when the door flung open, and in came Mama. 'Daisy, what are you still doing in bed by now? It's almost eight, i don't know you to be a late riser, first service will end by nine and we are booked for then!...' Mama said, her voice rising with every sentence, she was now by the bed. Daisy was sitting down now, no movement, her expression blank. She didn't reply either. Mama felt her temper rising, if Jide was adamant, atleast not Daisy too. Noone seem to care. 'kilo de?' she asked in yoruba. Daisy said nothing, she just pulled the blanket up to her folded knee. Mama pulled down the blanket and fuming still, said: 'O fe dami lo hun ni? See the time, its sharp eight, you nor Jide is prepared, are you children bent on causing scandals? 'Daisy!' she shouted when Daisy still made no move to stand or reply her. Mama continued complaining in yoruba language, she did so, mostly when she was angry, Daisy understood all she was saying, her 10 years stay in the States hadn't eroded her knack for the language. she couldn't speak it fluently but she understood it quite all right, she had been perfect in the language due to her long stay in Ijebu-Ode with her grandmother before she left for Boston to stay with her mother, though the years took away her ability to speak yoruba fluently, Mama had made sure she never lost the language totally. She often than not converse in yoruba with her. Mama was ranting on about how Jide was so ungrateful, how children of nowadays were spoilt and disrespectful, how nobody seem to appreciate her one bit, how Daisy seem to have joined in frustrating her and so on...' Inbetween all of mama's ranting, Daisy had slide down into the blanket drawing it up to cover her face. You don't try arguing with Mama when she was this way. Having said her piece, mama sighed, her anger seem to have dissolved. She now sat calmly on the bed. When Daisy noticed Mama was no more talking, she stole a glance at her, peeping from beneath the blanket. 'coast clear' she said quietly to herself and pulled off the blanket. Standing up she said 'Mama don't overwork yourself already, i was feeling sick then' Mama immediately looked up from where she had bent her head wondering whether she didn't deserve how she was being treated. 'Sick! How? when? Why didn't you tell me...' she was now at Daisy side and touching her body. Mama and her fussing, Daisy thought resignedly. ***** HAPPY SUNDAY SWEETHEARTS

EPISODE 8 ...... ...... 'It's gone now, am okay. Twas because i missed my nightly dose of juice' she said in truth, maybe all of Mama's rant had somehow paid off afterall. 'juice? but they was more than enough at the wedding and You should have told Jide to get you some...' 'yeah right' Daisy snorted cutting into Mama speech. she wont be surprise if she got acid instead. Mama was still looking her over, she's like a mother hen when it concerns Daisy'. 'Mo wa pa!' Daisy exclaimed in a funny Yoruba accent and hugged Mama. 'you should worry about the clothes i will wear when i take my bath, all my...' 'oh, that has been taken care of, Jumoke is with it in the parlor, just get prepared' 'okay' Daisy said, blew Mama a kiss and bounded off into the bathroom. Mama smiled inspite of her initial anger, this was another reason why she so loved Daisy. ************* Down in the parlour, Jide hadn't found it easier either. A loud knock on his door earlier had jolted him from his slumber, opening it, he was surprised to see his dad, grandmother, Yemi, his immediate younger brother and Jumoke, his sister at the door. He had totally forgotten that it was Sunday and his supposed thanksgiving service. But then what's there to thank God about, he thought drily. His family were not smiling one bit, well, so wasn't he. Shaking his head and with a disgusted look he said: 'Hail the pack of trouble' and walked away to go lie back on the settee. 'Is that supposed to be a greeting or what?' his father asked 'or what' he muttered 'Omo de yi ti baje tan' put in mama almost shouting. She was also clapping her hands. Yemi and Jumoke left the bickering 'grown ups' to go sit down. 'Really Mama, keep your voice down, you don't wanna wake the whole damn neighbourhood' Jide said angrily, mother and son were at it again. He thought 'what kind of lazy neighbours sleep till this time and on a Sunday too? Mama retorted. no more clapping. 'My friend, just quietly go inside, take your bath and prepare, time is not on our side' his father said, he was sitting now. 'prepare for what?' came Jide's curt reply 'its your wedding thanksgiving service for God's sake!' his father replied, his voice high. Jide laughed briefly, this family of his were really something. He'd be darned if he moved an inch or dance to their tune, not this time around. Thanksgiving Ko, praisegiving ni. 'What am i going to thank God for? For a wedding that was forced on me? Or for a family that is driving me insane?' his voice had risen. 'I don't have your time, Nibo ni Daisy wa na?' mama had said angrily and walked off to go find Daisy. 'Kilonshe gbogbo awon omode yi?' his dad thundered. 'look Dad, am a grown man, you don't just come to my house to tell me what to do, havnt you done enough already?' he asked, really pissed. 'Yemi give him his cloth, look at the time, we are supposed to have been in church by now, in an hour time, the service would end, will they wait for us specially'. Jide's dad said, as if Jide had not spoken. He was middle aged, bulky and almost as tall as Jide who stood on 5'7. 'Its okay! if you think you can order me around like a child, we shall see where it ends!' Jide said shouting. Yemi tossed the bag he had been holding at Jide, he really didn't envy Jide now with father at his back, they were both stubborn and he wondered whose turf would hold. Jide, out of curiosity, opened the bag that was tossed at him. Soon His face held a deriding smile, inside was a cloth exactly the same material with that which his family were wearing, he guessed Daisy would wear just the same Ankara material, he never doubted that she would gladly without resistance adorn it, well that was her business, his was making sure he was not caught dead on this uniformed cloth with his annoying family trotting like an i.diot in front of a large congregation to go thank God for nothing spectacular he could name. No sir, he won't! 'you guys got all the bloody nerves' he said rather calmly and tossed the bag back to Yemi. 'did you actually expect me to wear that? Jide, wear the Ankara with...' He stopped midway, it was really not worth the trouble to keep the word exchange, he would just stay and watch who was gonna force the cloth on him and he would show that person a piece of his mind. His mind set, he picked up his remote to switch on his television. Noone pushed further, even his dad rested resignedly on the chair while jumoke rose to go meet Daisy and Mama in the room. The guys could tear themselves up for all she cared.

EPISODE 9 ***************** The atmosphere was still cooking with a kind of angry heat, when mama, Daisy and Jumoke walked in. As Jide had noted, Daisy was wearing her share of the family uniform, though her hers fitted her perfectly and highlighted her curves. The clock showed the time to be 9:10. Yet Noone in the parlor was making a move. The entrants quietly went to seat on different settee in the parlor, they too didn't know what to say or do. As they sat, each to his thought, Jide looked different, he hadn't taken his bath neither was he on the uniformed attire. Daisy had noticed a sort of glint in Jide eyes, in the split second he had paid them a cursory look when they came in, his eyes had lingered on her for more than required, and that her unsettled her a bit. Later, on her seat she translated it to mean admiration or at worse, a figment of her hazy imaginations. She wasn't sure, 'Must still be the juice' she thought. Noone said anything for the next few minutes and the silence was deafening, everybody was tired of the mulish Jide, His was a case of taking a horse to the stream and then leaving the drinking part totally to the exigencies of the horse for Jide still didn't show concern one bit as his gaze fixed on the Tele. Mama spoke now, she was visibly angry. If everyone kept their peace, Jide would end up having his way and today would be a total waste, Though Jumoke had called one of her usher friend at the church to shift their thanksgiving to the second service, the service was already 30 minutes underway! What kind of defiance was jide putting up? she thought fighting hard to contain her anger. 'Jide' she started 'please for the sake of Abike...' Abike was his deceased mum '...and for the sake of the love and respect you ever had for me and your dad, wole ko lo we, jó omo mi, jó ... am begging!' (enter go and bath please, my child pls) mama said with the softest voice she could mutter, 'cos inside she was burning hot. It was very obvious that Jide wouldn't respond to force, best to try the pleading way. 'Don't bring mum into this issue' came jide's curt reply few minutes later, as if he had been contemplating. Everyone kept mute, even mama. And after what seemed like ages, Jide switched off the television, stood up, hissed and muttered something, before storming out of the parlour. Silence still. Some minutes later, Jide resurfaced, he'd taken his bath and was wearing a black shirt on a jean trouser, he was also putting on a black speck, every eyes turned on him but he said nothing to his family, he just went past them outside. An impatient horn from Jide outside jolted them from their inertia, they quietly stood up and walked out, noone uttered a word. On the chair sat the bag containing Jide's Ankara cloth, it would obviously rot there forever, Daisy thought rather amused, this husband of hers was definitely a character. ******** Minutes later, they arrived at the headquarters of Love Word Assembly situated in Ikeja, mama had insisted on riding in Jide's car, even though he disagreed. Mama had said she could not take any chance with him, if not he would do something st.u.pid like dropping Daisy along the road and zooming off elsewhere, after much persuasion accompanied with another family drama in the compound, Jide grudgingly accepted. Their thanksgiving kicked off not long after they arrived for they came in quite late but in the nick of time. The family had hardly settled down when the Olukoyas family was announced to come for their wedding thanksgiving. Mama immediately got busy, soon, relatives and family were dancing to the altar with huge tubers of Yam, mama could not contain her joy, she danced from one corner to the other shaking her behind, she would dance front and dance back even to the amusement of the congregation. Jide felt so sill.y in the midst of his uniformed family, it turned out to be that some of their relative were also wearing the same Ankara material, he was angry, irritated and mortified, if not for the presence of a large congregation, he would have simply left. Mama's dancing was irritating him the more, she was dancing like she was the one who had wedded not him, Daisy on her part was all smiles and was shaking her body lightly to the praises being sang by the choir, not only her but all his family, his sister, father, brother, the relatives and well wishers from the church, he wondered if there was another reason this people were happy about if not the obvious? He just couldn't wait to be out of these clowns known as his family. Daisy on her part was having a good time, she had atfirst felt silly about the uniformed clothes everyone was wearing, soon she got used to it, even loved it, 'another reason to love the yorubas' she thought. She noticed her aunty and waved, her aunty waved back, she was part of the entourage of thanks givers, Daisy felt welcomed and at home in the midst of them all. she didn't regret her marriage at that moment any bit, she couldn't rein in her joy as she just let the music take over her and soothe her nerves, while she ignored the anger and irritation on Jide's face. 'He won't spoil my fun, not this time around' she thought happily as she danced away her sorrows. ********** Daisy waved sadly at the Olukoyas as they boarded their car back home while Jide waited impatiently for her in his car. The normal thing would have been to go the Family house to celebrate proper, but counting on Jide's acceptance was a tall order, so that would pass. Mama had promised to send in her clothes and phone later that day and she found herself wishing that she could drive home with them instead. As she climbed beside the visibly irritated Jide, she wondered what fate had in stock for her in her forever after. Jide zoomed off without as much as a glance or word to her. That night again, he slept on the settee in the parlour.

EPISODE 10 Daisy woke up by 6am, it is a normal routine for her because her body had grown accustomed to it, today was Monday. She went to the kitchen to see what she could fix up as breakfast for Jide before he left for work, much as she would have preferred a honeymoon, she knew it was as close as wishing for the moon so she thought it best to settle herself into her wifely role, even though she knew Jide would neither care nor appreciate the gesture. At about 7 when Jide came out from his study-for that was where he had moved his clothes to yesterday while Daisy watched with a sunken heart as the hope of them ever consumating their marriage slipped-he hardly paid a glance to the set dining table before he picked his car keys and left the house without a word at her either. Daisy wasn't hurt, she had half expected that to happen, it wasn't even as if she had fix anything spectacular for him to eat, she had improvise with the little food items she could find in his scanty kitchen and fixed him jollof rice cooked with sardine, she however applauded herself mentally for her super effort in bringing something out of nothing, so it was totally Jide's business if he decided to starve himself! Her piece said, she rose from the chair in the parlor where she'd been sitting and carefully carried the untouched food back to the kitchen then walked to the room to go arrange her legion of clothes, mama had sent them yesterday evening through the family driver. Though Daisy would have loved if Mama had came herself for she needed company to cope with the cold silence that pervaded the house after they returned, she consoled herself with the cartoon of juice mama also sent, it meant her 'juiceless' nights were over. As she hung her clothes in the now empty hanger, she sang along Alicia Keys' 'Super human' playing from her phone, she wondered where her husband would continue sleeping and wished he had rather slept here with her even if he decided to still keep his distance on the bed. 'As if that was possible' Daisy said to herself and giggled. ************ she was through with her clothes 'chore' and was now hanging her bags when she heard a noise out in the hallway. Stopping, she tiptoed to the door and listened closely by placing her ears by the door, she heard a noise like someone opening a door. Immediately she opened her door and looked down to see a guy trying to open Jide's study which was the last room at the left side of the hallway. She guessed him to be in his mid-twenties. So many thoughts coursed through her mind, was he a burglar? a friend? or at worst Jide's male part...... She stopped that train of thought, she didn't believe Jide would stoop that low! The guy, very oblivious to the fact that he was being watched had opened the door and was about to enter when he turned and saw Daisy. She was in between the half opened door. 'Don't come any further' she spoke now, alarm in her tone. The guy had been walking towards her then. He stopped midway and smiled very unsure. 'Am sorry ma, Adamu told me you were around but i....' he had this slight calarbar accent. 'Who are you?' Daisy interrupted still not pacified, she also made no move to leave her position. 'oh, sorry...' he apologised again 'i should have... Well my name is Okon Edet, i am the house keeper here, well...sort of' 'The housekeeper?' Daisy asked, she was getting a bit relaxed. 'yes, i come to clean every Monday, Wednesday and Friday' That's plausible enough she thought, her initial alarm gradually evaporating. 'oh...okay...hello' she greeted now and wanted to come out fully, but remembering that she was still clad in Jide's shirt now turned to her night wear since since he seemed not to need it anymore, she stopped. 'Hi' okon replied smiling. 'but how did you get the key to that room?' Daisy asked. 'Mr. Jide dropped it with Adamu, he asked me to clean it up and do other things there cos...' 'its okay' Daisy said, she couldn't care more. 'Let me leave you to your work then' 'ok ma' Okon said and walked away. Daisy closed her door and locked it this time, she wouldn't take any more chances with whatever housekeeper of Jide that came calling again. She chastised herself now for where her stray thoughts would have led her then and resumed her 'chores' singing along the song that was now playing in her phone, it was Beyonce's 'halo'. So much for the neat freak jide she had formed, for there goes the secret. She thought again. ************ THANKS GUYS

EPISODE 11 Jide was all angry when he drove into the family company building located at Eric Moore part of surulere. He didn't reply the greeting of people that he passed nor bothered about the look of surprise etched on their face. The moment Daisy knew better to keep her distance and stop annoying him more with the pretence of love, docility and submissiveness, the better for them both. What had she thought would be the outcome of her preparing breakfast for him? Did she think they were the best of newly weds? Maybe the surprise visit of the furniture persons would jolt her out of her fantasy. Jide thought angrily as he marched through the stairs that led to his office in the second floor of the two storey building they shared with another company. The olukoya's company occupied the first and second floor while the other company occupied the ground floor. Their company deals with the importation of household items and other sundry, the second floor housed the offices while the first floor served as the show room. Jide's presence startled his secretary who had been making a call that was obviously not concerned with business. 'goodmorning sir...i didn't know you would be coming in this morning, i....' the secretary stammered, she had carelessly dropped the land phone and the phone was now dangling carelessly by her side. 'oh really, did my schedule show that i will be absent today' jide asked irritated. 'no but since you got married on Sat...she started defensively 'that, Joyce is not your business, your business is to get me the invoice and documents that come into my section...' 'your father intercepted them, he said you wont be coming in today...' 'he what! What's wrong with everyone? just cos i got married doesn't mean am paralysed or that life wouldn't go on' Jide was saying as he marched out to his father's office. Minutes later, he was in his office. The way he had barged in startled the oldman who had been perusing a document. 'what the hell is the meaning of this?' he shouted. 'what right have you to intercept the document meant for me?' Jide barked 'Is that a new form of goodmorning? 'i didn't come here for pleasantries' jide shouted. 'why did you f.ucking redirect all my invoices to your section?' he asked again. 'come on, you and i know that you were not supposed to be in office today or even this week, you just got married and you ought to be on your honeymoon...' he was saying with a rather cajoling tone. 'give me a break 'dad' you can go honeymoon for all i care, i just need those invoices so i can get to work immediately' he interrupted still shouting. 'its okay, very Okay Jide, i quite understand, your document are still with Alice out there, you can get them on your way out' 'fine!' Jide barked and stormed out of his office, banging the door after him. 'foolis.h old people trying to run my life' he muttered. Jide's father was speechless, he regretted listening to his mother about forcing this marriage on Jide, For he wasn't sure now, if it had been the best thing he had ever done, though it had seemed so then. As Jide marched angrily to his office, the documents in his hand, he almost ran into Ade who was coming towards him. 'slow down man! why are you all smokes?' Ade asked smoothing his suit, he was one to care so much about his look for he thought himself handsome and the ladies delight. 'i really don't have the time to chat' Jide replied irritation showing on his face, but he didn't make any move to continue on his way. 'oh yeah, you should have said so man, rather than try to make me look all ruffled and on a Monday too!' he was still sulky over his suit. 'really Ade grow up, 'Jide said with an irritated tone 'its only a suit not your miserable life!' Jide retorted and started walking away. 'and aren't you supposed to be cruising the world with that damsel wife of yours for the honey...' 'not you too!' jide interrupted almost shouting and stopped 'why don't you f.ucking stick to your business?' 'its my business you know, i witnessed the marriage, i was the ring bearer, infact i ...' 'yeah, you could also go witness the honeymoon in my place' Jide replied now walking away for real. Ade was really an annoying pest and he could go on forever with this discussion. Jide was clearly not in the mood to banter with this friend of his who made it an habit to pester people. They weren't even best of friends, but then again Jide hardly kept friends. 'I'd love to!' Ade shouted to the retreating figure of Jide. Unlike Jide, Ade considered it a blessing for Jide family to have gotten him hooked with a 'kokolet' like Daisy, that girl was sooo fine and even though he wasn't thinking about marriage soon, he wouldn't have bothered much if Daisy was forced on him and he just might take up Jide's offer one of this days, he thought merrily as he waltzed with a funny step to his own section of the company. From then on, Jide made sure that nobody talked to him about his 'unfortunate' wedding or even mentioned something as close to it, if they didn't want problem with him. Everyone in his office respected his 'orders' and acted as it they hadn't trooped to Queen's Hotel on a pleasant Saturday to celebrate a wedding, things just went back to normal as if their second in command hadn't experienced any change. But the grapevine didn't cease their wagging. ************ Daisy was all dressed and sitting in the parlour watching a movie in Africa Magic, Okon was scrubbing away at the dining table, he was also whistling a tune as he worked, then out of nowhere he asked: 'Madam, do i also clean the room' 'what?' Daisy asked, she had been engrossed in the movie, she was also a sucker for Nollywood movies, they intrigued her. 'I asked if i could clean the room too, you know with you around and...'he was saying 'No no don't bother with that' she said and was returning her attention to the movie again but stopped and added 'you don't also need to clean...you know what, just continue' she completed and turned back to the movie. she had wanted to include the kitchen. Not long later, they heard a noise outside, it was rather loud and sounded like a big truck just rammed into the compound. 'what could that be?' Daisy stood now and was walking towards the door. 'it should be the fur...' Okon was saying when he zoomed past her, but she didn't get the last part of his statement, she didn't need to because as she got to the door, what she saw in front of the compound was a large truck with the name 'Johnson's furniture' written boldly on it, it was also accompanied with pictures of different house furnishing accessories. Immediately her heart sunk. But she wasn't sure why. Okon was talking to one of the men now, later two men climbed into the truck and came out with wooden parts of a bed, they were followed by two other men carrying a blue king size mattress. They were marching towards the house. She clearly knew why her heart missed a bit then, this husband of hers had show the greatest derision and disrespect she could ever imagine or handle, so this was what he had been cooking all along without even a breath of word to her? And to add to the insult, he had intimated his housekeepers with the info while she was left in the dark. She felt so invincible, She didn't know which was more painful, the fact that he had totally disregarded her in front of the world or the fact that he had openly shown that he couldn't be bothered by their marriage. She felt so hurt down to the bone marrow, her hope was slipping away gradually and the fear that the future was laced with cold and loveless days loomed in her heart. She quietly left the door to go sit on the chair so that the men could pass. 'Madam they want to...' Okon was saying but stopped when he noticed the expression on Daisy's face, it was gloomy. 'Just do whatever, its okay by me' she managed to say, she wasn't sure of herself or her emotions anymore, she could feel that ancient gland that held her tears starting to rise. Okon left her. This emotions would not be the death of me. She thought angrily and forced herself to concentrate on the movie. In the movie, Jim Iyke was then kneeling down in proposal to an actress, Daisy wasn't sure she had seen her before, but right then, that was the least of her problem. Infact it was like compounding the problem, she felt like slapping the two Id.iots who didn't know that marriage wasn't that rosy as the st.upid smile on the girls face. Infact, she simply lost interest and switched off the irritating movie, then started for her room. 'Her room' she thought painfully, she wasn't gonna be sharing it with Jide or anyone else for that matter so she had better start getting used to it. Her initial question about his place of rest was now more than answered. In the hallway, she met the men bearing the mattress trying to fit it through the narrow hallway to Jide's study now turned his room. Maybe that was what Okon had been telling her earlier in the morning she remembered. Well, It didn't matter anymore for now she knew. She quietly shut her door and locked it without a second glance at the struggling men. Later on her bed, she mechanically went to her phone's playlist and selected Beyonce's 'Broken hearted girl'. Even though she knew it wasn't the best of song for her nerves right now, she still didn't care, instead she set the song to replay then slowly drew the blanket over her. Minutes later, she felt those hateful stream of tears roll down uncontrollable. She spent the whole day locked in, she didn't know when Okon left or when Jide returned. The only time she left her room was around 2am when she practically sleep-walked to the kitchen to go take her nightly dose of juice.

EPISODE 12 Daisy was feeling much better than she had these past few days, for two days after the 'mattress' incidence, Daisy had hardly seen the exterior of her room, even when Okon came yesterday for his cleaning rounds, she had totally ignored his knocks on her door. But today, after much thought and resolution, she was out & in the kitchen. She had somehow consciously come to grasp with her situation, and told herself that getting so down-beaten with any cold shoulder act that Jide sprang up would only give him pleasure if she kept showing that it affected her badly. She resolved to try play along his 'game of shoulders' and show him that if he was trying to pass across a message, she wasn't decoding! She would show him also that she was the least afraid of all his tantrums, his arrogance, his impulsiveness, his bad temperament, his ego and whatever package came with the man now her husband. However, she was going to make sure she didn't pay him back in his own coin, she would show him that two wrongs don't make a right and that 'evil' can be bought with good, though she knew it was going to be an uphill task. She would try her best to condone, comply and give him the much space he was trying to tell her he craved. Didn't the Bible admonish wives to respect and submit to their husbands with all the patience they could muster? Even though she wasn't really a 'Bible person' she remembered that the Pastor had said something like that during their wedding service, also, every book on marriage issues she had read or glanced through revolved around the same virtues; But she wasn't going to sacrifice her comfort and emotions on the altar, if it eventually came to that. This was the reason why she was up early and busy in the kitchen trying to fix breakfast for him again, even though there was little to work with today. She made a mental note to ask him for money to buy food items for the kitchen, for it was his damn responsibility, even if he was gonna go all smokes on her, she wont care. The jollof rice she had cooked on Monday had served her hunger needs yesterday evening when she emerged from her room to eat, for she had practically been surviving on juice before then. Bless Okon for heating it on Wednesday morning else they wouldn't have been any left to salvage. But now, she couldn't keep mute and starve to death, her Bank at the states told her it would take time for them to complete the money transfer to her new bank here in Nigeria, she didn't even know how far they've gone with it, due to the recent activities that demanded her time. After much deliberation, Daisy decided to boil water and fill the flask, then she arranged the tea items close to the down-turned tea cup. She surveyed her work and shaking her shoulders in resignation, she went to seat in the parlour, they was plainly nothing in the house, maybe that would give him an idea of it she thought. The time was 6:20 & since she didn't feel sleepy, she decided to watch Television. When Jide surfaced at about seven all dressed for work, Daisy who was engrossed in the musical video she was watching on Trace TV, didn't notice the surprise that appeared on Jide's face for a flint second. He was surprised to see Daisy in the parlour and the dining, set. For the past two days, she had locked herself in and now she re-appeared and was acting as if nothing had ever happened. He quietly picked his key from a side stool, a scowl played up on his face, then he thought he heard someone say 'hi' but when he cast a glance at Daisy, she looked deeply engrossed with the television. Was she trying to show him how resilient she could be? Jide thought angrily as he marched out of the house banging the door after him. The sound jolted Daisy, her gaze travelled to the door, then to the dining before it settled back on the television. She had said 'hi' to him then and had wanted to say more but the scowl on his face stopped her, she just feigned to be engrossed in the Tele instead. So much for her brave resolution then, for she knew now that it wouldn't be as easy as she had thought. She was far too weak, emotionally to keep up the game. She slowly lay on the settee, her mind blank. ************ Daisy opened the door to see a man in front of her, he looked very familiar but her brain was finding it hard to firmly piece him together. The man smiled now and extended a hand to her, she put out her hand to receive the handshake, but she still wasn't clear who he was or where she had seen him before. 'Mrs. Olukoya right?' the man asked as he cut the handshake. Daisy merely shook her head to his question, she wasn't sure if she should invite him in, he was also holding a large brown envelope that looked heavy. 'Good' the man said bringing out the content of the envelope '...I came here to deliver the wedding pictures, mama gave...'he was saying but Daisy had lost attention, the word picture had jolted her memories and now she remembered who the man was, she felt so silly for how hard she tried to recollect who he was. Her wedding photographer! 'The photographer!' she nearly screamed. 'Yes' the man said an amused streak on his face 'Do come in' she said 'okay' he replied and Daisy gave way for him to pass. Towards the settee, he brought out the picture album and gave it to her. Daisy got busy immediately flipping through the pages, she was visibly excited and forgot about the man or the fact that they were still standing. 'I will also collect the remaining payment for the picture' 'oh' she replied, that had definitely gotten her attention.'how much is it' she asked closing the album, her face didn't hold the initial excitement. '5K' the man said simply. 'I... I am sorry but...I don't have...i mean, the money is not ready, uhm...Jide...i mean my husband had no idea that...' 'I understand quite alright' the man interrupted. He thought the woman before him to be really amusing with the way she stammered with that American accent of hers, he honestly understood her plight. It would be best for him to come back and since the family was well off, his money should be ready then. 'Am sorry' Daisy calmly said. 'Its okay, I will come back... lets say Saturday...' 'It would be ready then i promise' Daisy cut in, the color now returning to her face. 'let me be on my way then...' he replied and started for the door. 'Is there anything i can offer you?' she called. 'Thanks but am in a hurry' he replied without looking back, soon he was out and walking down to the gate. Daisy heaved a sign of relief, then reopened the picture album and went to seat down. She had taken her bath and had been watching television before she heard the knock. She was over the trauma of the morning incident with Jide, that was one good thing about her, she hardly sulk for long or allowed her emotions weigh her down completely, except offcourse, in some instances. The picture before her now was the one where Jide had been dancing with the 'lady on red' during their couples dance, the picture brought back memories of the wedding celebration she had succeeded in blanking out, anger burned in her, just below that was the 'cake-stuffing' picture, she wondered if the photographer had intentionally arranged the 'ugly' pictures together because the previous pictures had been lovely, Jide seemed to be in his best behaviour then. It didn't get any better As she flipped through the next pictures, they showed how desperate Jide had been to create a scandal, just then, the movie scene of Julia Roberts in 'Runaway Bride' running away from her wedding on a horse flashed through her mind, she imagined herself in the same situation but this time in a Nigeria busy road as the horse galloped away through traffic, she smiled, that would be scandal enough for Jide and the nosy media she thought. Another thought struck her then: she hasn't browsed the internet to see if there was anything about their wedding, the Olukoya's might just be prominent enough to attract media attention. Her phone rang then interrupting her flow of thought, it was crying helplessly on the dining table. She dropped the offensive picture album and started for the Dining. The number that showed on her phone looked familiar, it bore the international code of Boston, Daisy had a feeling that she knew who it was. 'Hello' she said.

EPISODE 13 'hello!' the voice at the other end screamed, Daisy pushed the phone away from her ear to curtail the noise. She definitely knew who it was. 'Jeez Bren, you don't wanna bust my ear drums now, do you?' Daisy replied smiling while she sat down on one of the dining chairs. 'Spare me that Bullshit! 'ave been searching your number for days now' came the reply. 'And who let the cat out of the bag?' 'It was quite a search, i had to call Mama's house and the housekeeper gave me her Nigeria number and then i called there, then she gave me your number, jeez Dee, why didn't you call me Since you left?' 'Maybe cos i was pissed at you' Daisy replied. 'oh Dee, you know i wouldn't miss your wedding for anything in the world, but my exams...' 'got you!' Daisy screamed 'how i love every chance i get to make you whine like a dog' 'oh you! You know i would squeeze your neck for this if i get you' the other said playfully. 'you gotta catch me first then' Daisy giggled. She really loved Brenda,they were the very best of friends infact they were 'BFFs'. It was indeed her Master exams which coincidentally fell on her wedding day that stopped her from coming, she understood. 'So how was the wedding?' Brenda asked. 'so and so' Daisy replied, that question changed her countenance. 'And what's that supposed to mean?' 'lets just say it would have been bearable if you had been there with me' Daisy said, her tone laced with sadness, her eyes instinctively travelled to the album on the chair. 'oh Dee, like i knew that dude ain't worth the sacrifice, but you were so bent on your shortsighted perspective of love and affection, it beats me to know how...' 'really Brenda, i don't think you called to tell lash an 'i told you so' did you?' Daisy cut in angrily 'Chilax girlfriend, i don't wanna fight with you over the phone, i missed you that's why i called' 'well okay, forgive me, i missed you too'. Silence on both sides. 'that reminds me i saw Peter the other day...' Brenda was saying. 'Am a married chick now!' Daisy cut in. Peter was her Ex-boyfriend 'oh puleaseee, spare me' Brenda replied stressing the 'please' They both laughed. 'Talking about marriages, have you and your hubby done the deal, you know what i mean' Brenda said 'yeah right' she scoffed 'that dude would rather beat me into a pulp than make sweet love to...' 'oh no he didn't!' cut in Brenda with an alarmed tone. 'jeez sister, i was trying to make an expression here' Daisy replied exasperated. 'that better be, cos i know that man ain't tripping if he don't want me to be all over his face' This made Daisy smile, she knew Brenda was capable of all that drama, she was, as Mama referred to her 'agaracha ibo', she could really cos a drama when she set her mind to it unlike the calm and docile Daisy. 'He wouldn't dare' Daisy said 'not when you are there' They both laughed. 'I really miss Boston, you, the Hospital... everything ...even Peter' Daisy was sober now. 'I know, you don't know how i feel too, you are married now and can't come back...' 'Don't be too sure about that' 'It still wont feel the same, you know, am thinking of coming back finally to Nigeria, mother Africa calls' 'Not you too!' 'America holds no more splendor for me, i wanna be close to my friend and family' 'I can't wait for then, it will be just like old times' 'keep your fingers crossed girlfriend' 'they are most definitely' Daisy said. The two friends were really nostalgic. Daisy heard a knock just then. She cursed silently, when would this people stop springing up on her? 'A knock Bren, I'd just go get it then...' 'Oh no, i gotta go too, will call you tomorrow'. 'okay Bren, don't forget to. I'll Miss you'. 'I'll miss you too, byeee' Brenda said and cut the call. Daisy felt so alone now and wasn't curious to know who was knocking, the drama of today was overwhelming and she didn't need more. She slowly stood up to go see who it was that was knocking louder now. **************** Daisy walked unsteadily towards Jide's study, it had taken all the strength she could, to actually make this move. The photographer had to be paid, he would be coming on Saturday; there was practically nothing in the house to eat and She couldn't possibly starve! Her resolution firmer, she got to the door but hesitated some seconds before knocking softly, like the door would bite if she knocked any louder. No response from inside. She was about knocking again when she heard Jide's voice. She opened the door gently and stepped in standing an inch from door, she however made no move to go further. Jide had been writing when he heard the knock, he was surprised 'cos he knew there was only one person in the house who would be knocking & he was curious to know what she wanted. Now she was standing at the door and didn't seem to want to come any further, she was holding something like a parcel, he wasn't sure what it was, she didn't say anything either, she just stood lost in thought and glancing round his room. He considered the woman that stood before him, she was pretty, though not any prettier than his girlfriend. Grace qualified now as an ex, he thought drily, they should be of the same height he guessed, she was 26, he remembered his grandmother had said when he had inquired of her age, then he had accused her of wanting to get him hooked with an immature girl, but now as he examined her in that shirt of his she had annoyingly decided to turn into her nightwear, she wasn't immatured in any way, she had the curves at the right places with that bossom of hers that was guaranteed to drive him mad if he ever let his guards down, she was all feminine and any man would appreciate that she was their wife, but that man wasn't him, she wasn't his hand picked choice, she was forced on him through treachery and manipulation of his family and that grandmother of his whom he had loved dearly but obviously not anymore, she had betrayed his love and trust in the most unforgivable way. Jide anger rose automatically when he considered all this, he turned now to the document on his table, if Daisy was going to stand there forever, he would gladly watch her do so. Daisy stood lost in her perusal of the study now turned Jide's bedroom. It didn't look homely to her, it had a bed jammed to the wall at one side and a shelf stacked with books at the other, jide was perched on a chair and an adjoining desk, writing 'who knows what'. Daisy wondered why a warm blooded handsome hunk would decide to camp in this unromantic crib, when a sexy willing damsel waited with open arms just a room away, eager to fulfill his fantasies. She smiled at her silly thoughts and caught herself, realizing only then that she had been standing at the door without uttering a word. She looked at Jide now, he had continued writing and the expression on his face made all her earlier thought and strength shrivel and in place was an unexplainable fright. 'hi' she said softly. Jide continued writing, without a glance her way. His coldness got to her and she looked down at the picture album she was holding. Another painful silence. 'Daisy, what do you f.ucking want?' Jide asked angrily, he wasn't sure he could ignore her forever again, her presence was making him uncomfortable to his chagrin and he just wanted her miles away, if he didn't want to lose concentration or let his guards fall! Daisy flinched at his tone and her face became all sober and sulky like she would break down in tears the next minute. Jide noticed her facial expression and even though he wasn't sure if it was real or faked, it affected his anger, he found it melting down that he couldn't keep it up, this scared him more and now he really wanted her to be off and done with. 'I don't think you set out to come showcase yourself to me this evening, so say what you want and be off from my presence' he said, his tone however held not the trace of anger it had before. Daisy, finding strength in his renewed tone spoke: 'uhm, sorry to disturb, but i uhm...the wedding photographer came today and he...uhm, you know wanted...uhm, money for the pictures he brought in today and i don't...' she was stammering, her face down all the while, she did so whenever she was nervous. Jide was amused by the way she was speaking, it showed she wasn't all that strong and resilient as she had shown, he resolved to make it harder for her. 'don't you feel silly, standing there and talking to me about pictures of a wedding you know i don't care about?' Daisy stared at him now 'I...I...well...the man said on Saturday...I told him..uhm...promised him that his money...but my bank...' Jide was trying hard to stifle a laugh, that was surprising. Daisy was amusing him silly with all her stammering, he didn't remember her to have speech problems, and he thought that the faster she was gone, the better for him.

EPISODE 14 'is that all?' he asked and resumed his writing. 'uhm...no...I also...need...no...not me...just that there isnt any food...' 'food and pictures brought you here, which automatically means money...' he was saying. 'not exactly like that...' Daisy wanted to protest but jide's raised hand signalled her to stop. 'I have heard you' he said with finality. More like 'I have heard all your stammering' he thought amusingly but his face held no smile. He wasn't even looking at the pitiful sight of Daisy at the door. Daisy curtised mentally and left his presence closing the door softly behind her. Once out, she relaxed her back on the wall, she realised she was shaking inwardly, she raised her hand to her forehead and felt she was sweating too, She became angry with herself. What was it about his presence that turned her into Jelly butter, she thought. 'I bet Grace would be bolder in his presence' she said angrily as she walked to her room now. 'such a chicken livered Daisy!' she continued and banged the door of her room like it had been the one who upset her. Grace had been the caller of the afternoon, Daisy recognized her immediately as the 'lady on red' from the picture and wedding. She became a trifle jealous, because Grace was a stunner and she was as nasty as she was pretty too. She had gone on about how Daisy appeared from nowhere to steal her man and how she was not gonna give up without a fight, how she would wait for the day Jide would definitely push Daisy away with the messiest divorce she (Daisy) had ever known and how the pain would be greater than the scandalous wedding she had...bla bla bla... Daisy was all calm throughout the exchange, she was only grateful that her emotions didn't give up on her, the worst she could have done was to whimper and give up a tear in front of that woman! She wished she was all bitchty like Brenda her friend. She would have given her a piece of her mind too. But she wasn't and all she had done was to tell the irate Grace to kindly leave her home when she was done, then she had left her standing in the parlour. She didn't know when Grace left cursing fire and brimstone. She just went to her room to sulk, but bounced back to her cheerful self hours later and started preparing for the confrontation with Jide. Jide however, had not been aware of Grace's visit to his home, he had last seen her at the wedding. The next morning he dropped a considerable amount of money for Daisy on the Dining and that became his routine, dropping money weekly for Daisy on the dining to buy whatever things she needed for the home or her personal effects. she should well know that his love and attention wasn't hers, but she could eat and fatten up for all he cared. He however, never ate the food Daisy unrelentingly prepared and left on the dining daily for him, until weeks later, he reconsidered and started eating the breakfast and dinner that was readily and steadily available for him. He reasoned that since it was his money she used in preparing the food and couldn't possibly poison him, they was no reason skipping it and waste money eating out. But that was where the contact ended, he didn't go any further. They lived like familiar strangers up on till...

EPISODE 15 Any outsider who examined how the marriage of Jide and Daisy came about might come to the conclusion that Daisy is a gold digger or was paying back a debt to Mama or at worst a confused girl who allowed her emotions direct her blindly. But Daisy might probably not be that because, for as much as anyone cares to listen, she truly loves Jide, hers is a love that budded and flourished for over 6 years that even sometimes she wonders if such a love could ever exist. It all started with her sojourn to America and her later acquaintance with Mrs. Bimpe Olukoya, preferably called Mama by all, a meeting whose history was both eventful and tragic. Daisy Chinwe Adelade (for that was her maiden name) was born to Laide Adelade and John Okoye, she was however a product of a love affair gone sour, born out of wedlock and raised without the love of any of her parents, She grew up with her grandmother. John's parent had bluntly refused his marriage to Laide when he had intimated them with her pregnancy, they told him to concentrate on his studies and leave the Yoruba girl who might just be deceiving him afterall. John, regardless of how his parents wanted and eventually made him deny the pregnancy knew he was responsible, but wasn't courageous enough to stand up against them or rather it was more about his cowardice and fright that controlled his choice to finally deny his responsibility to the distraught and heartbroken Laide. Iife continued. Someway, somehow through America Green card winnings, Laide left for America, happy for the chance to pick up her life again she left behind barely one year old Daisy in the care of her grandmother in Ibefun, Ijebu-ode. She however, didn't relent in making sure that Daisy had all she needed Financially, but she could not give her the love of a mother that every child so craved. And so Daisy lived her early life wishing for the acceptance of her father and the love of a mother after she learnt of the circumstances surrounding her birth, but when that didn't happen, she gradually relapsed into hatred for her father and anything that had to do with the Ibos, she felt that it was some unnamed customs of her father's tribe that had somehow influenced his decision to not marry her mother, she grew up with a grudge against him. Although he much later pushed to be associated with her and even invited her over during those years she was living in Boston. But Daisy couldn't totally erase her ill feeling towards the ibos and had subconsciously craved for a means where she could detach herself from every trace of her paternity, that was one of the reason she had taken the chance with Jide, for he represented amongst others, the life that would align her with the yoruba people she was more at home with and whose blood ran through her veins nevertheless her half relation with them. Her father however, wanted otherwise, that being the reason he had opposed her marriage with Jide wanting her to marry an Igbo suitor of his instead. ************** Daisy was invited over to Boston by her mother when she was about 17 years and just through with her Secondary school. Excitedly she bade her friends and family goodbye, it was a dream come true for her because it afforded her the opportunity to be closer to the mother who had loved her from afar in years past, and in addition, she would live in America where everyone craved to be, she was going to live a beautiful life and get the best of education. It was a rare opportunity and she welcomed it with open arms, whatever grudge or fault she ever had against her mother forgiven and forgotten and she also found herself letting go of some of the hurt caused by her father. She was all ready to experience that bond that she had always envied in other girls and their mother and she reasoned that it was better to concentrate all her energy there. her Life wasn't so unfortunate afterall. Laide didn't disappoint one bit, it was all too obvious that she ached and had been waiting for the reunion all her life, she wasted no time and grabbed every opportunity she could to make up for the loss and the years she had missed in the life of her only child and daughter for she was married to a white there in America, but had no child to that effect. Just a year after her sojourn and reunion, catastrophe struck, Daisy's mum was diagnosed with cancer with the doctors predicting that she had just few months to live. Daisy got busy, Most of her educational trust fund went into the treatment in the hope that something could still be done to save her mum from dying. Laide however did not buy the idea of tampering with the money she had stashed away for her daughter's education but Daisy was obstinate and cared more about saving her mum whom she was still getting to know. Since she was a co-signatory to the trust fund, she spared nothing atall.

EPISODE 16 However, all her efforts proved futile, Daisy lost her mum some months later, she felt her world crumble. She was a little fortunate that she had completed her registration at Boston University and was a fresher reading Nursing there before her mum's death, now she worried about her chance of ever completing her education, considering the fact that most of the money for her schooling had gone down the drain. Daisy considered herself an orphan, she held no grudge anymore against her mum but transferred it to her father, reasoning that he and his people caused her mum to come live far away from home thereby making her prey to death. If Daisy thought her nightmare was over, she was mistaken 'cos months after the death of her mother, her mother's husband started making advances towards, his excuse was that he'd always have a thing for African beauties and Daisy looked so much like her mother, therefore she could continue where she stopped while he would provide for her always. Daisy could not be more angry and repulsed at his offers and one day, she quietly packed all her things out of his house to go see what the future holds for her. ******** Daisy, now living more like a destitute was switching between two jobs, working as a part time cook and a waiter at an African restaurant there in Boston, due to the nature of her job, she changed over to part time in her school in other to meet up with the demands of her job and her education. It was while working at the restaurant oneday that she met Mrs Bimpe Olukoya. Mama took a liking to the young African lady who had a sadness about her inspite of her open cheerfulness and she was curious to know what her story was. Experience had taught her that most Africans who found their way to America had a story or two to tell. When they finally got talking, Daisy intrigued her the more, she found out the sorrow that trailed her and her attempts at surviving, she also loved that Daisy was technically yoruba and spoke the language fluently too and she was moved to compassion for her. One thing led to another and they became good friends, the elderly woman decided to strike a deal with the younger: she wanted Daisy to resume full time at the College, to drop her job with the restaurant and come work for her part time as a 'practicing' nurse. While she contributed to Daisy's education and Daisy could pay her in the future when she graduated and was working. Daisy was elated, it seemed fate wasn't really cruel to her again, she accepted the offer and promised to pay back the money as soon as she could. She however secretly kept the cooking job because cooking was one of her passions, though she bargained for lesser days and shorter time. Mama later got to know of it, but she didn't seem to mind. And so, their relationship went beyond nurse and patient affair, Daisy was family and like a daughter to mama and soon she became her unofficial assistant, helping her run errands for the company. Mama was the over seas representative of the Family company down in Nigeria, she took care of the purchase and exportation of the household items in which the Olukoyas company deal on and Daisy naturally offered assistance wherever she could, but still maintaining her job as mama fussy nurse. Since Daisy practically was family, Mama introduced her to her son and his children down in Nigeria, it wasn't a physical introduction per se, just through conversations, anecdotes and photographs, Daisy gathered that Jide was the stubborn and favourite grandchild of mama and that had intrigued her young heart. When she eventually set her sights on a picture of Jide amongst the album mama kept and showed her, he caught her fancy the more and unconsciously held her heart, she never knew she had fallen blindly for him, until when years later he had visited Boston for official reasons, Daisy who was 22 then, saw her Picture idol come to life and that had cemented and strengthened the feeling, she knew then that she was sold out completely to the handsome, stubborn, arrogant man who was so sure of himself. Jide on his part, wasn't any particular about Mama's little assistant, he was simply civil to her the very few times they met in mama's house, but then he only stayed a week before traveling back to Nigeria, America and its fancy wild girls held no allure for him and he was glad to be done and off with. Daisy however felt more, Jide was the perfect man she felt could rescue her and give her the fulfilment she had long craved, she let her young heart dream on and on about him. She became mildly absorbed with fantasies of him, so much so that she had secretly stolen that picture of Jide and stashed it away for keeps. When she wasn't into bickering and girls stuff with Brenda or running around and taking care of Mama, keeping up with her studies or trying to make her relationship work with Peter, she was busy building up fantasies of Jide and her. Even though Daisy was matured enough to know that at her age, she should be able to tell the difference between love and infatuation, she cared not neither did she try piece the difference when it concerns Jide. It was years later, that Brenda caught on to her friends secret admiration and she very well didn't approve of it, to her, it was so pointless that a pretty and matured girl like Daisy should waste her precious time pinning over a guy that wasn't aware of her affections nor was guaranteed to return them if he ever knew. But Daisy always got defensive when she tried to set her straight and since it became a bone of contention in their friendship, Brenda just allowed the matter slide. It wasn't worth it for it was Daisy's life and most definitely her heart which would receive the heartbreak when the time comes. She reasoned. However, Brenda let go of the issue only too late after mama got wind of the situation, it had first amused her and she had hoped Daisy would snap out of the illusion. But when reports of Jide's bachelor behaviour filtered in. Her diagnosis was to get Jide settled down and the most appropriate candidate was her very own Daisy. She counted on Daisy easy acceptance but hadn't anticipated that strong opposition would come from her dear favourite grandson, Jide. ********

EPISODE 17 Daisy stretched lazily on the sleeping chair close to the swimming pool. She had had an hour bout of lazy swimming and now lay facing the sky, intermittently sipping from the glass of orange juice that nestled on the table close by. 'Life can be good sometimes' she murmured contentedly, raised herself up slightly and sipped once more from her juice. Lying back, she caught the gateman Adamu, staring at her. When their eyes met, Adamu looked away immediately and fondled with the broom he was holding in pretence of sweeping. Daisy grinned and stretched further on her back, she couldn't care less if he stole a glance or two at her. 'so long as he can't touch, Let him indulge himself' she thought. Daisy knew she had the right curves to turn masculine heads anytime. With a skin like the evening sun, a heart-shaped face and a pair of eyes which Peter had once described as 'deep and innocent', Daisy knew that both old and young men would fall for her charm, if she ever set her mind to, but charming men wasn't particularly one of her passions, especially when she knew that the charm couldnt capture the attention of the only one man in the world that her soul craved. So what was it use? Daisy mood became threatened by the road her thoughts were taking, why did thinking about him these days not hold so much 'lily flowered-fantasies' it previously had? She wondered. It was now three weeks into their marriage and they were still like total strangers, he had only recently started eating the food she painstakingly prepared and kept for him consistently daily. She had been all surprised and hopeful the Tuesday she had perfunctorily gone to clear the dining, knowing fully well that it would be the way she had set it earlier. 'So he had finally decided to eat' she had exclaimed happily. The fried eggs was half eaten and the bread nylon was undone, proving her right, if it had been Monday she would have thought Okon had helped himself to it, because he had always been the lucky beneficiary of Jide's untouched meal, but it wasn't! Daisy had remained cheerful throughout that day, even taking extra pain in preparing the dinner of that night. She had also gotten a reward for her effort too, because he downed every bit. 'what an appetite!' She had said, satisfied with herself and thanking her stars that they was a tiny light to work with afterall. But that was where it had ended. Nothing changed. Noone said anything to anyone. The few times she had tried saying 'hi', the silent response she got had put her off, finally she stopped trying. Daisy knew her life was downright monotous. Wake up by Six. cook. Bath. Watch movies or whatever. Chat with Okon whenever he came. Surf the web with her phone whenever she was bored.Listen to the endless music on her phone. Cook dinner. Sleep. Wake up for midnight for her juice-dose. And back to waking up at 6. Daisy smiled sadly as she mentally listed her life's routine, 'circle of the bored', she tagged it. Add occasional swimming she mused and you would have the life of Daisy Olukoya at your fingertips. No action, no lovemaking, no petting, no care, no love! No companion too. She completed. Mama had visited last week to intimate her of her trip back to Boston because business calls. Daisy had sadly wished the elderly woman a safe trip back. She understood quite alright, but was sad to see her 'mother' go, she would definitely miss her. Mama had promised to keep intouch too, the loss of her 'assistant' wasn't easy too and she felt like a grandmother going to one of those 'homes for the aged' that characterised American family life. Daisy mood was now totally ruined, she slowly stood up, tied the transparent scarf over her moderate swim wear, for it covered her perfectly while still flattering her figures. 'that's all swimming for today' she muttered and picked up her the glass of juice, then bounded off for the house. Today was Friday, she needed to plan her Saturday purchase for the market tomorrow. Especially now that Jide had started eating his meals. Those thoughts of mama brought back memories of another time and another place, barely a few months ago but now seemed like a thousand years had passed. It was the day mama had broached the marriage issue to her, and slowly but vividly her mind replayed the scene. ******** 'Why are you up till now? It Ain't good for your health you know' Daisy said as she made her way to the back of the chair mama sat. She was spending the weekend at Mama's residence, it had been a routine since her sophomore year, and though now she has graduated and even working, the tradition still stuck. Daisy had been watching a late night movie when she noticed light rays from Mama's study, she had then decided to go check on her since the movie had also ended. 'am stronger than you think' mama replied smiling, her eyes shut as she relished the pleasure from Daisy's hand massaging her shoulders. 'its midnight already, you need rest.'Daisy replied continuing her act. 'or did a new order arrive from Nigeria?' she added. Mama always worked into the night whenever that happened. 'yeah, that and a lot more' replied Mama sitting up. Daisy stopped the massage. She had sensed something was amidst through out the day. Mama wasn't her cheerful self. And now her words just confirmed it. Daisy walked past mama, drew a chair and sat close to her. 'I know something is wrong, why don't you tell me what it is?' she said. Mama gave a painful smile, took down her reading glass and cast a glance at Daisy. Her expression unreadable. Daisy pulse raised involuntarily, she was worried. 'Daisy Omo mi...' she began 'i don't know how to put this across to you...' Daisy heart beat faster, that was a bad line to start with, the two women were so close that no secret existed between them, why was Mama sounding like that! Daisy made to speak, but mama shook her head signaling her to stop. 'jó kin soro tan' (please, let me finish speaking) she said. Silence ensued for what seemed like hours to Daisy, she was beside herself with worries, different thoughts coursed through her mind and she couldn't rein in her desperation. Mama spoke then. 'My son, called me just yesterday from Nigeria, it doesn't seem ok over there. Jide...' 'Jide what happened to him? Hope he's ...' Daisy cut in. Mama smiled shaking her head. It wasn't going to be hard afterall, she thought. 'Daisy, ni suru, mo ni pe ko Je kin soro tan' mama calmed the agitated girl. (Daisy be calm, i told you to allow me finish) 'quite alright, Jide is the reason for this discussion now, but nothing bad as you think has happened to him. omo jati jati yen wa da da ni, tori yen lon fin she yeye si nigeria' mama said raising her voice in the last statement. (that silly boy is very fine, and that's the reason he's misbehaving in Nigeria). Daisy heaved a sigh of relief. Her man of dream was okay, then what was wrong she thought. Mama continued. 'my son called me, and he was relaying to me how irresponsible Jide has become, especially with women, Jide ngbe awon Omo oloriburuku obirin to po si ile eko!(jide mingles with iresponsible women that are all over Lagos) can you imagine that, at his age, he's not settled down, omo mi Adekanbi was married and has given birth to him and his brother at that age. Yet he feels sleeping around is best for him...'mama was shaking with anger now. 'pls calm down mama, are you sure of this...' Daisy cut in, she was hurting with all mama was revealing and still worried over her working herself up because of her health. But Mama was not deterred. There really was no stopping her when she became like this. '...ofcourse am sure! And to think his father and i are working hard to see the company grow and see that our family name is untainted, yet he disobeys him and even refuse to come to work, he keeps late night, going from club to club, dancing around his life! ah! Ko ni da fun gbogbo won, i swear!' (it will not be well with all of them) mama completed heaving with anger and a tear stained eyes. Daisy watched on quietly, she was heartbroken, the picture mama had painted made her feel Jide was actually cheating on her. A tear rolled down her cheeks. Mama saw the tear and held her hand gently. 'Daisy omo mi, ma ke' (my child do not cry). 'its okay, am fine...' daisy replied with a weak smile, there wasn't any plausible reason why should she be crying over the issue, how would mama take it, it wasn't as if jide was married to her or something. Only she knew her secret fantasy, what she should do now was console mama and not bloody cry! She wiped her tears. 'am really fine, am worried about you that's all'. She added and looked down Mama considered the younger woman for some seconds, Daisy actually crying confirmed what she already knew and she was secretly glad because it meant her plan would perfectly work. 'crying would not solve OUR problem you know...'she said. Daisy looked up then to find Mama smiling and staring at her. She was confused. 'i know you like him, i know everything, even though its recent'. She continued

EPISODE 18 Daisy said nothing, she was dumbfounded. How had mama known, she had guided the secret carefully. But mama was insinuating otherwise. She was still aching inside from the hurt and even felt a strong force to protect her man from the claws of those 'oloriburuku' girls that filled Lagos. Mama stroked her arm gently, 'am really glad that YOU are the one who likes Jide, maybe also love him, and even though he might not seem the best option of a man for you right now, i believe that you are what he needs, your charm is enough to get him on the right tracks, and i want you to help me' 'Me? What can i do' daisy asked confused, she wasn't sure where mama was headed. 'Yes you, iwo ni mo fe' (its you i want) 'mama i....' 'its my plan to get him settled, and i want you to be his bride'. Mama dropped the bombshell, it hit Daisy like a tornado. 'Bride!' daisy exclaimed standing up. 'you don't...are you...i...will he...i mean...its sudden...i don't...there's Peter...and what...' she was stuttering for She was nervous. 'Daisy calm down please' mama pleaded. 'i know you and Peter broke up last month, or did...' 'No we've not' Daisy replied 'Then that's not the problem, please think over this issue I know it's a bizarre request i make, but help me out, lets save this man we love' Daisy sat down. What was she to make of this request? Marry Jide! Like Marry Jide! Was that a dream come true or what? She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She slowly raised her head to see the expectant look on Mama's face. Mama was indeed serious! 'what about Jide, has he agreed to this?' she asked. 'He has...i mean he will, he has no option than to, your acceptance is what i need now'. 'Let me think over this' Daisy replied calmly. Painful Silence. Mama stood up and patted her back. 'Goodnight my child' she said and walked out. Daisy kept still, she was deep in thought. Was he worth the risk? The next morning, Daisy had told the over joyed woman that she accepted. That became a catalyst to series of quarrel, fights, austerity measures to subdue Jide. Soon the proposal was 'exported' to Nigeria, its 'importer' Jide's father and the 'consumer' Jide himself. It hadn't been easy but the wedding occurred at last amidst fire and brimstone. Daisy placed the last of the food on the dining table, the time showed that Jide would soon be back. All that travel through Memory lane was making her dizzy and emotional, she needed so much to rest. If she had been thrilled and happy then, when she had accepted the proposal a month ago, she wasn't now. She was living on hope that the man whom she had left everything in Boston to come 'save' would one day, see and and atleast thank her for her unsolicited gamble of taking chances with him. She left for her room when she heard the noise of the gate signifying that he was back. ********* ******** Jide walked into the parlour and headed for the dining, he was really hungry, today had been so hectic that he had skipped lunch, the only food he had eaten was the Fried plantain and eggs Daisy had prepared this morning. So far so good, his choice of eating her meals hadn't been a bad idea, she didn't do bad atall. He opened the dishes in front of him. Rice and stew it was, not bad, he thought and went about the business of dishing it. After two spoonful of rice, he noticed something was amidst, what was it? he ruminated. Bingo! It hit him, the parlor was unusually quiet today, Daisy would have been in that favorite seat of hers directly opposite the television, lost in the world of all that make-believe she so enjoyed, for him Africa Magic was disgusting, they showed nothing but annoying Nigerian movies all day, Then there were Mnet, MTV base, Channel O, Trace TV, E! these were the Stations he would see her watching everyday, whenever he passed on his way out or back to the house, that was what his 'dear' wife dedicated her time to. He grunted, it was totally her business if she decided to stay out of reality. She practically owned the television set, not that he minded for he didn't have time for all that nonsense, give him his Super sports and then, sometimes CNN, then he was ok. He completed taking a sip of water. Soon Jide was perched in a chair watching a repeat broadcast of a football match on Super sports, he was filled to the brim and satisfied, Daisy had been right when she had noted that he had a big appetite for he had downed most of the rice. He looked up at the clock, it was few minutes to eight, he expected Daisy to walk in any moment, there was this soap-Tinsel or something-she was so crazy about, he knew that it started by 8pm, and if he happened to be in the parlor by then, he would press away at his phone to kill his boredom and irritation. She never missed it. Watching television at nights had always been done like an unspoken agreement, Daisy would watch all her innumerable movies and soaps till 9pm then he would take over to listen to the newscast of the day after which he would retire to his room and Daisy would continue with her 'business' till way into the night. He wondered how she managed to wake up early inspite. They always watched in silence, just the way he liked it. The cold silence pact they signed was yet to be dissolved. Jide knew that it might just as well stay that way for a long while to come. The time now was half past eight, yet there was no sign of Daisy. That was strange he thought. 'oh well, maybe i get to colonise the television for today' he said, stretched lazily and picked up the remote. Tomorrow was Saturday and that meant no work, unless something came up, he doubted the possibility of that happening, therefore there wasnt any need to retire early. Hours later, Jide gave up the fight of trying to stay awake. Listening to the news had proved the hardest task, he had had to force himself to stay awake through out, he realised then that maybe Daisy's presence the other nights had beefed up his ability to seat through a programme, that thought angered him. 'What was that supposed to mean?' He asked no one in particular as he switched off the Tele and started for his room. In the hallway, he stopped in front of Daisy room, he heard no noise from within, that again was odd, he thought. That girl never kept quiet especially when she was inside, she would unrelently sing alongside her phone, sometimes that had irritated him, other times it had amused him. He couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with her this night? For close to a month now that they've lived together, he very well knew her nightly routines. He wasn't sure about daytime for he was mostly out by then. He made a mental note to call Adamu later and confirm if she was actually in the house. That said, he continued to his own room, but again he stopped, cast a glance back at his former room then at his study now his room, he felt his anger rise, it wouldn't have been like this. He, jide, now settled with sleeping in a room that had been his study ever since he packed in. His anger increased now. He entered his study banging the door. Now on his bed, his mind slowly drifted to the very discussion that had changed his life for good. ********

Am now ok friends.Thanks for your prayers. I am reposting these epi.19,20,and 21 because we lost it here. EPISODE 19 ****** Jide drove in his Blue Sedan car into the family house of the Olukoya's situated in Victoria Island, Tuface's 'For instance' track reverberated in his car. He was feeling really high. Jide horned loudly when he finally settled his car in the garage. As he came out, the music wafted out disturbing the tranquility of the compound. Jide didn't seem to care, he threw some steps as he sang along the music. In this bright Saturday morning, what could possibly go wrong? He thought. After some minutes of musical 'performance', he went back into the car, switched off the music and started for the house. 'Let get this over and done with' he said to himself. 'Iwo omode yi, what is wrong with you?' his father 'greeted' angrily as he set foot into the parlour. The noise of Jide's entrance had distracted him, and now the newspaper he had been reading lay carelessly on the table. 'Morning dad' Jide simply replied and went to sit on one of the settee. 'O ni da mi lo hun ni!' (wont you answer me) his father pressed. 'Really dad, the time is 10 in the morning and i don't wanna bicker with you, simply tell me why you asked to see me, then i take my annoying butt, outta this house. Simple as that!' he replied. 'Its early as you say, yet you disturbed the peace of this house with ur music and all...' 'If that's the contention here, please accept my apologises and lets move on, i haven't got all day you know' Jide cut in. 'Exactly the issue, you haven't got all day and yet we wont see you at the company...' 'my apologises again! But i've been in touch with my department, Joyce tells me if anything comes up that requires my attention, and since Tuesday she didn't call me, so i supposed...' 'Hear yourself Jide! Just hear yourself, you relegated your responsibility while you frolic around Lagos doing God knows what' his father shouted. 'oh well, i knew we can never come to an understanding, since i didn't come here to be shouted at, i'll just kindly leave' Jide said resignedly, stood up and made for the exit. 'Jide come back here, mo ni ko pada wa! His father shouted again. Jide stopped in his track, stood for some seconds and retreated back to his seat. This overbearing attitude of his father was definitely gonna make him give the old man a piece of his mind, he thought angrily. 'We are not done here...' 'oh, gush! Jide exclaimed angrily 'why don't you get on with it then!' 'Ma kigbe fun mi, sho gbo (Don't you dare shout at me, you hear!)' his father shouted back. Jide sat quietly. He wasn't in the mood for his father, shouting back wouldn't solve any matter, the time was fast moving, today was Saturday, there was so much fun to catch, why is this man trying so hard to get on his nerve! He seethed. Silence. As no one spoke to the other. 'well, your irresponsible behaviour these days is a cause of concern for your grandmother and I, and we cannot seat back and watch you destroy your life, so...' Jide wasn't listening, his irresponsible Behaviour? Grandma! He just couldn't wait to be out of here, just because he personally decided to skip work since Tuesday and relax his aching bones, Groove the town with Grace and his hommies for a while longer than the two days he got weekly, didn't mean he was going bad or anything. The next time he stood to leave, he would walk out for good! He thought shaking his head. 'Did you hear what i just said' his father asked. He had expected a fierce reaction, not this calm distant look on Jide's face. 'I heard and i agree. I'd love to be on my way now' Jide lied and stood up. His father was confused, he doubted Jide had heard him. There was no way, this son of his would calmly receive the news he had just dished. 'Dad don't sweat it, i heard you, so see you later' Jide added and started walking away. Mr Olukoya was really confused. 'So you would marry her then?' he asked, just to be sure. Jide stopped, glanced back at his father, he wasn't sure he heard well. 'Marry...i don't understand' 'Daisy, that mama's nurse in Boston' 'yeah, what happened to her?' he asked. 'Have you been listening to me? Your grandma and I have decided she is the right bride for you' 'i still don't understand, i never knew they was a marriage somewhere...' 'oh, Jide, you weren't listening then. It's your marriage, Daisy is the choice. Try listen to discussions'. His father said with finality and made to pick his newspaper. Jide laughter halted him. He knew now that it had hit home and he braced up for the aftermath. 'Like dad, could you recap or something?' Jide asked. His father said nothing. He Just concentrated on the newspaper. 'Like Dad, don't f.ucking keep quiet, am talking to you! He screamed. 'Yes, and i spoke English. Your granny and I decided to get you settled, tame your wildness and we have the perfect bride for you' his father replied without a glance his way. Jide smiled bitterly, this father of his was damn joking, maybe a little crazy. It wasn't even April fools day, so if it wasn't a prank, maybe a...whatever, he was definitely leaving here for good. 'ya all must be kidding me' Jide simply said and thundered out of the house, got to his car and zoomed off. His father hadn't tried to stop him. Jide might not have taken the matter seriously initially, he most definitely did when Mama landed into the country the next Saturday with a mission to conquer and subdue. Jide ears was troubled with 'you must Marry Daisy!' everywhere he went, it had been as if the whole world was against him. Threats of 'i will disown you!' 'i will Bankrupt you!' 'i will kill you myself!' were shooting from various directions, before he could say 'jack Robinson', Daisy flew in and preparations started earnestly, Yemi represented him at the introductions in Daisy's father house, even though that side had met obstacle, nobody had paid attention. Jide couldn't understand why Mama whom he loved and trusted for she had been a mother to him and his siblings when their mum passed away while they were still young, would be the leader of the pack, she even came up with threats of 'Killing herself!' if he didn't oblige. Then, Like a flash of lightning he had found himself, Jide, 32 years of age, Matured and sane enough! walking down the aisle with a girl he barely knew, or had ever spoken to. Worst of all was the fact that the silly girl hadn't relented or objected even in the face of opposition from her father. 'crazy s.h.it that was' Jide said after what seemed like hours. He had stood, relaxing his weight on the reading desk and ruminating over the marriage craziness. Just a careless impulsive action of his had gone this overboard. If he had known, he would just have remained straight up and not skip work that eventful week. Months after, he wasn't sure how he felt, funny enough, he wasn't that angry anymore, it would be a waste of emotion to stay angry, he thought. He just had to stick through the marriage and wait patiently for the time when Daisy would be fed up, pack her bags and quietly leave. He was going to make certain that happened. His mind set, he staggered slightly to his bed and let the sweet embrace of sleep soothe his angry nerves.

EPISODE 20 & 21 Daisy gently opened the door to Jide's study, she simply couldn't take it anymore. All her insides were on fire and she desperately needed liberation. She felt like one in need of water after 3 months of thirst in the Sahara desert! The only rational thought in her head right now, was to take another desperate chance with Jide. At the state she was in, she could go at any length to quench this flame that threatened to consume her, even if it meant her crawling on her knees. Three painful months had passed, where Daisy had indeed lived in a fiercer desert than Sahara. If she had ever imagined that she would be strong enough to remain celibate till Jide came around, she was highly mistaken. For now, Daisy's desire was finally ruling her senses, while her once proud and irresolute feet were leading her to another dare game, she was going to try her luck with Jide, even if it meant a 'one night stand'. The door gave in easily as if it urging her on. Jide raised his head where it had bowed under his hands and stared at the intruder with disbelief and anger. Not you now! he thought angrily. He had been arguing with Mama on the phone over a discrepancy in the last shipment, formally it wouldn't have called for raised voices. But for the fact that the two were still nursing hurt & anger over the wedding incidence, temper had risen and smokes had puffed out of the heated argument they had had. So much so that Jide hadn't heard Daisy soft knocks. Daisy stood transfixed, that angry look of his always had a way of turning her paralytic everytime. She felt ashamed immediately, more by the skimpy nightwear she adorned than with the knowledge of what she had come for. It was the 'wrongest' time for Daisy to hatch her week long plan. 'Daisy what do you want?' Jide almost barked at the inappropriately clad woman who was so not unconnected with the heated argument of minutes ago. 'I...I...I...came for you...you. .to .know...'Daisy had relapsed to her nervous stutterring. She felt like crying. 'really now, am not in the mood to hear you stammer like some craz.y person, say what you want and be out of my goddam face!' Jide cut in. He was at boiling point. 'Am sorry' Daisy simply said in a teary tone. Where was his anger coming from again? she'd thought it was fast fading away after 3 months. Even though they weren't normal couples that conversed in conjugal companionship, they weren't exactly enemies too. So what had happened? 'Sorry! is that what you came here dressed like some cheap girl to tell me!' Jide shouted angrily. The voice had frightened Daisy and in panic she screamed 'no!' 'For jeez sake tell me what it is then!' Jide screamed again, his temper totally lost. 'I came to ask if you could spend the night with me' Daisy replied shaken, her heads bowed. Jide's wicked laugh stunned Daisy who looked up at him, hot Tears burned at her eyes. 'Not only are you pathetic, you are also damn shameless!' jide replied with all the venom he could muster. So this was how God had chosen to comfort him for the way the wicked plotters had snatched his life away from him! Their very docile puppet was standing right there, craving a night with him! He would definitely make the most of it. Now was the time to bite off a sizable chunk of flesh, an opportunity to hit back at Mama and his father. He wouldnt fail to drain dry the cup of opportunity. 'please' the highly shamed and hurt daisy cooed softly. Jide snorted, so now she'd resorted to begging? Grim luck it was. 'kindly take your pitiable and cheap self outta my sight while you still have an iota of dignity left' he retorted, the venom very well still in his voice. 'Please jide'Daisy cried softly. Jide gave a wicked smile. 'obviously, my manipulative and overbearing grandmother forgot to tell you about this part, did she? Neither did your narrow and shallow mind imagined it would come to this. This here is reality sting Daisy! I cannot bear to lay my hands on an irrational forced filth like you. This is not some African magic sh.i.t, you know, so get it into your f.oolish and over the cloud brain that you weren't my choice for a wife, not then, not now, not ever! Okay! He finally shouted. 'please' Daisy cried again. This time however, She wasn't pleading to be laid again, she was pleading for help, for comfort, for love from anyone out there. 'you obviously enjoy it the hard way then, don't you?' Jide replied without a trace of pity, stood up, held Daisy by the arm and pushed her out of his study. 'go please yourself out there!' he shouted and banged the door, making sure she held the sound of his door, lock. He was feeling really satisfied for She definitely shared in the plot and scheming and this was her own dose. Anyone who cared, could call it transfered aggression or nemesis, it just didn't matter. What mattered was the fact that he hadn't felt any better than he did tonight. 'you most def. reap what you sow' he said happily to himself and strolled back to his seat. Out in the hallway, Daisy dragged her pitiable self slowly to her room. She couldn't control her tears. Noone had ever treated her this way in all her miserable existence, not even her parents who had abandoned her when she needed them the most. 'oh, my poor poor miserable life!' she cried. On her bed later on, the foolishnes.s of her very earlier decision hit her like a tornado. Marriage wasnt like what you see in the movies, nor read in harlequin romance series, it was deeper than that, love and friendship should be topmost, the exact items that were so lacking in theirs. This realization left her torn and heartbroken. ************ If jide had felt remorse after how he treated Daisy, he didn't show it neither did Daisy see it. Infact it became a catalyst to a side of him, Daisy had never seen. He started keeping late nights, he hardly ate the food Daisy kept for him and reduced the amount of money he dropped for house upkeep on Saturdays. Daisy, already a shadow of her cheerful self, didn't seem to notice the reduction in money, while the late nights were a blessing to her. They meant she could be free from his tortuous presence for a little while. She would gladly return the untouched meal to the kitchen and replace with another on the morrow, So far he kept his distance. She had withdrawn into an impenetrable shell, frightened stiff of Jide, his anger and temper. She would prepare his breakfast earlier than usual and resign into her room, coming out only when she was sure he had left for work. And at night, she would retire to her room after she had placed his food on the dining, resurfacing again when she was sure he had retired to his room. Anything she could, just to blot out the pain and trauma of that faithful night. She couldn't face him anymore, she would always cringe in pain and shame whenever their paths accidentally met. Jide, on his part would make sure she saw him gloating. So she made it a business to avoid him at all cost. The saying that 'hell hath no fury like a woman scorned' didn't pertain to her, what Daisy craved was a haven where she could nurse her scorn, not vent her fury . Every scales that had previously clouded her eyes, were falling down now in painful places. She lived only to eat, watch whatever programme the cable stations dished, make her weekly trips to Aguda market, for she loved to hear the market women call her 'iyawo America' because of her slight American accent, she would light up a smile or two then. Daisy had no friend in the neighbourhood, she carefully avoided making friends with the women who called out to her or tried to start a conversation whenever she decided to take a stroll round the estate, she just didn't want their pity or companionship. Their lives were rosy as it was, they didn't need to rub it in. Sometimes, she found herself wishing Brenda was in the country, even Peter her ex too. For they where pretty close nevertheless their failed relationship. The distant correspondence through calls didn't satiate her longing to once more be in the company of those who loved and cherished her. She missed Mama too, but sometimes, she felt anger towards her. She reasoned that mama had also contributed to her present plight. At times, Jumoke, Jide's sister would come calling, Daisy appreciated her visits but it didn't change much, the two women seemed worlds apart, one was 22, the other 26. Daisy had once considered working at any hospital to atleast change environment, but she didn't know how to go about the job search, so it eventually remained at the thought and wish level. These traced the mundane existence of Daisy after that night's event, it was like an eye opener that demoralized her for quite a while. ******* Okon had also noticed how withdrawn Daisy seemed these days, but reserved his comment. Even though he liked his cheerful and hospitable Madam, he couldn't help but wonder where she appeared from. The only girlfriend of Jide he knew and had met occasionally was Grace. Then when did the love affair of Daisy and Jide bloom to the extent they ended up married? he wondered. He guessed it was an arranged marriage or something reasonably close. Judging by the fact that the couples lived apart, there was no other reason he could fathom. The little he had learnt about her from the few conversations they had revealed that she had lived in America and was a nurse before she came down to get married. He pitted her, she was too pretty and nice (for he always got a meal after every clean up) to have accepted a marriage that was only making her sad. But since pity and worrying wasn't part of his job description, he let it slide.

Hmm wat jide did was very very bad..i dont tink i hv dat kind of patience oo anyway i wont even get into an arranged marriage b4....tank God u re alrite nw @blessedgirl nd tanks 4 d update

The perils of an arranged marriage, poor Daisy! Just remain strong and cheer up. Redirect yr cries 2 heaven cos God still answers prayers. Stop making yrself an object of pity dat even yr domestic staff now pities you

@Blessedgirl These were yesterday's update oo, so we are still looking forward 2 dat of today.

Wetin dey do dx Jide gan self who did he tnk z he

@Blessedgirl, i never knew u were sick oo. Pardon me pls!

EPISODE 22 'oh! Forgive my 'patheticness', like for real you're gonna be in Nigeria!' she asked, still excited. 'real as hell, told you Africa calls' 'And a lovely sound she made too!' Daisy added. 'So Girlfriend, get prepared to get your life back.' Brenda said matter of factly. 'you are the life i need Bree, God i can't wait!'. 'Next Saturday and am touching down, so keep a date with me' 'I definitely will!' Daisy replied excited still. 'get good life till i come' 'i will!' Daisy replied differently for the first time since she had been hearing that phrase. 'catch ya later then' Brenda said and cut the call. Daisy gave another bout of scream before slumping on a close settee. Nobody can ever imagine what it meant for Bree to come around! A family and a friend, that's what she is. She would definitely get her life back, Jide wasn't gonna stop her, infact she would work on moving on and forgetting the one mistake she had made. Life wasn't so cruel to her afterall and she wasn't gonna be miserable. 'Am coming home, coming home, tell the world...'she sang happily to J. cole song. For It expressed how she presently felt. All the heartache for five painful month locked in this marital sham, was gonna soon be over or atleast bearable. She smiled once more and sang on happily. ******** Jide drove into his compound at about 6pm today. Adamu had opened the gate with eyes wide open, it was unusual for his boss to be home at this time. Not on a Friday anyway! Jide manoeuvred his car swiftly to the parking space specially designated for his prized 'baby'. If Adamu's face had registered surprise, he hadn't notice. He was simply happy, today was Friday. It meant fun and relaxation, he wanted to enjoy it to the fullest and spend it with his wife. He smiled at the thought. when had he finally realised what the word 'wife' meant? And why was he even referring it to Daisy? He halted that line of thought, switched of the car stereo and climbed down. 'home sweet home!' he said to himself. How lovely a feeling it was, returning to a house that didn't exude the former emptiness it had; to companionship-visibly scarce but palpable nonetheless; then a wonderful meal; and a pretty movie-crazed wife. He chuckled at this & made for the house. Jide couldnt place when and how he had started looking forward to coming home, all he knew was that he had suddenly developed the urge, somehow, he'd gotten tired of staying out late to spite his wife and prove to himself that he was in control of his life. Few minutes ago he'd envied a young couple he'd seen while driving. They were gardening outside their home, oblivious to the world around them. Even though he wasn't one to muddle in dirt, gardening, he knew they was an intrinsic value to what they were doing, something he and Daisy didn't share. Anger ate him up at first, then gradually he turned green with envy. He had unconsciously craved for what they shared, even decided to work towards building one. Now in the parlor, he frowned. Daisy was nowhere in sight, a glance further, revealed his food awaiting him on the Dining, that was a normal occurrence. He hadn't failed to notice that Daisy had avoided him successfully the past months, infact it had always been the highlight of his evening whenever he happened to return early. But today, the emptiness strangely affected him and he desperately wanted to see Daisy. Even if they didn't get to talking, her presence would suffice. When last had he even seen her? He wondered. Jide moved further, stopping only to cast a disappointed glance at the arranged plates on the dining, he was hungry quite alright, but the food wouldn't quench all the hunger raging in him. At the hallway, again he stopped in front of his former room. He felt a powerful urge to open the door, if only to take a peek at the one woman who he was strangely missing this night. But He didn't get to doing that, the knowledge that she'd be surprised at this attitude of his, stopped him midway, just inches to the door knob. He sighed, pulled back his hand, then made for his own room; surprised stiff at his thoughts and action this night. In his room later on, he felt a painful constriction in his heart as he saw the room for what it was-'a study'. He couldn't wait to be out. ****** Jide hungrily dug into his dinner of semovita and Egusi soup, the quietness of the parlour forgotten and the cravings and wanting to see Daisy relegated to the back. He chewed on a piece of meat for a minute and then sipped the glass of juice he had helped himself to from the freezer. Even if he hadn't personally bought them, he knew there was never a shortage of it in the house. Somehow he had caught on with Daisy love for juice, even wondered why but couldn't pursue further. They weren't in talking terms anyway. Whoever had postulated that the way to man's heart was through his meal, jide thought, weren't wrong one bit, for his heart was satiated with this meal and each balls of semo he swallowed increased his love and admiration for his wife this night. His lovely wife, he thought again. They were so many questions he wanted to ask her, questions like why she took daily nocturnal trips to the kitchen to take juice? He also wanted to know why she so loved music, movies and all that silly stuffs she watched? Then where had she learnt to cook this well? Howcome she had all the characteristic of a Nigeria-made wife, yet had lived in America? For how long too? He wanted to know. These were pointers that there was a history to her, a history he so wanted to unravel, he most importantly wanted to know why she had agreed to marry him and stick with him against all odds, was there something she saw in him that he and other women he'd dated didn't see? He needed these answers desperately. But he didn't fail to note that getting these answers depended on the chance of them ever getting together. Not that he was planning on giving up the chase anytime soon. These were the thoughts coursing through his mind when Daisy walked in and headed for her favourite chair directly opposite the television.

EPISODE 23 Jide pushed the food away, he was satisfied already, carried the dishes to the kitchen-something he'd never done-then went to join Daisy in the parlour. Daisy was surfing through the stations then. Two guesses and you would get where she would land. He thought amused. And he was right, Daisy stopped at Trace Tv, settled comfortably in her chair and concentrated on the television without as much as a glance his way. Jide wasn't sure if she'd seen him or was simply pretending. Whichever, he didn't care, he was satisfied with his just concluded meal and this luck of seeing Daisy afterall. The quiet company she would share was worth millions at this hour. He would even be willing to allow her usurp his 9:00 news hours just so she could linger more. It would soon be 8pm which meant her time would end in an hours time if they were to go by their previous 'agreed' viewing time, that was offcourse, before that fateful night. He could swear that, that had changed a lot. Well, he mused he was out to make it right and somehow get Daisy to love him once again, her present countenance spoke volumes that she was done with and couldn't care less about him. ******** Daisy swam round, lazily in the pool, though today was Saturday, she wasn't making her weekly trip to the market, that and much more had been covered yesterday. Today was designated to swimming and then off she would go. Daisy was feeling unusually happy, it wasn't just because Brenda was arriving today but also because she had finally broken off the senseless fright Jide's presence created in her. Last night was evidence enough. The Daisy of months ago, wouldn't have dared come out while Jide was around, much less braved up to watch TV while he was right there in the parlour! She had quickly switched off the television and scurried to her room when she heard the early sound of his arrival. But after much deliberation and chastisement on her weakness, she'd finally decided to take Brenda's advice to get a life. And that began with shaking off Jide's hold on her, emotionally, physically and psychologically. She'd noticed that Jide's countenance had been different, his face didn't hold that scowl it always had, infact she'd felt him staring at her from where he sat across her. He even spoke to her for the first time ever! 'its okay, you can leave it here' he had said when she had picked the remote to switch over to a news station for him since it was his turn to watch the Television. That had halted her. She'd been stiffened by the fact that he'd actually spoken to her and not because of what he'd said. 'Nothing new's happening i guess' he had added rather calmly and patronizing! Daisy was all smiles now with the way she had reacted then. For She had changed the channel regardless to CNN, stood up and left the parlor without a word or reply to him. 'thumbs up Daisy, you actually have a star in your 'getting a life gig' Daisy hailed herself and plunged deeper into the water. Much as she didn't understand what had happened or had gotten into Jide, she wasn't about to turn all jelly and putty on him. Not now anyways when operation 'get your life back' was underway' The sound of a car honk startled Daisy out of her musing, she raised up her head to see a car drive into the compound. 'now what's that' she said. The occupants came out amidst loud music from the car that reverberated the atmosphere, they were three guys and one of them seemed familiar to her. They were now dancing unpreturbed to the music that filtered from the car. They hadn't noticed her, but then she was out of view, the 'Y' shaped shrub shaded her, so that she alone could see them through the shrub. One of the guys entered back into the car, and soon the ceaseless honk was heard, piercing further into the already noisy atmosphere, making a disorganized sound. The other two didn't seem bothered by the sound, instead they intensified their dancing. 'Jeez!' Daisy said rolling her eyes. 'bunch of noise makers' she added and plunged again into the water. Minutes later, when she noticed that the sound had died, she went back to her peeping hole through the shrub, She saw that they were at the other side of the pathway, standing at the basketball court. Jide had joined them now, and guess what he had offered them? her juice! What happened to his stock of wines resting undisturbed in the cabinet at the kitchen? Daisy cursed silently. But then again, that actually was the least of her problem, problem now was how she was going to pass through into the house, dressed in swim wear! She had left the towel hoping to sun-dry after swimming and the big scarf she had opted for wouldn't suffice.

She had left the towel hoping to sun-dry after swimming and the big scarf she had opted for wouldn't suffice.

EPISODE 25 It would have been appropriate were the circumstances different, like maybe she was in a beach at the States or at one somewhere in Lagos. But right now, it was a 'No no'. These were Jide's friends, friends whom she was meeting for the first time. And what was it they say about first impression? Daisy sighed and wished Jide would get the inkling to lead them out of the compound to anywhere, but the impression she got with the way they relaxed on the tennis table sipping their juice as if that was their only care in the world! She knew to wish otherwise. She couldn't possibly wait it up for She was tired of swimming and the morning sun was turning harsh already. 'phew!' Daisy finally said and braved up for the passage. ******* 'What is it you say Jide?' one of the guy named Dave asked, feigning annoyance. He was fair with and huge in stature but wasn't any older or taller than his other friends. 'yeah dude, you stood us up yesterday just to rush home and do what?' another chipped in, he was named Dele, dark complexioned and lesser in body build of the three friends but wasn't shorter or older nonetheless. 'Guys relax, i just didn't feel like clubbing, that's all' Jide replied. He wasn't in the mood to argue. Theirs was a relationship that had flourished and became stronger months after his wedding. He wasn't one to keep close friends, but these guyz were exceptional, that was offcourse, if you ruled out annoying and pain in the a.rse Ade, he was exceptional at irritating him. But even he had some worth in his life being his first ever friend anyways, Jide concluded. '...are you even listening to us?' Dele asked, he'd noticed Jide distant look 'lets just settle this with few rounds of basketball' Jide offered. 'count me out man' Ade said without looking up from his phone. 'basketball or whatever! you missed! the club was hotter than fire yesterday!' Dele continued, he was the more chatty of the friends. 'yeah, and that girl you hit on last week asked of you' Dave put in. 'F.uck! these f.oolish girls don't know what a night stand meant' Jide said irritated. 'Grace sure gave her a run for her money too' Dele replied. 'Grace was there?' Jide asked. 'question' Ade cut in irritated. Grace and he had kicked off their relationship a month after his wedding, getting more intense after that night he'd sent Daisy out of his study. Although he had let her know that he couldn't offer more, she'd hanged on with the hope that she would eventually reclaim her position, when he divorced Daisy, she'd been sure it would happen. Even if he had believed it would definitely happen then, he didn't anymore. Not with the way he was getting these days. 'Now we know why he stood us up!' Ade exclaimed suddenly. Daisy was passing through then, draped in a pink scarf that hardly hid the blue bikini she was wearing underneath. Every eyes followed Ade's as it travelled and rested on Daisy. 'hi' Daisy waved shyly and walked faster into the house. She had hoped that they would be engrossed in their discussion to notice her. Obviously not. Silence followed her departure and no one had replied her greeting. 'Man! that chick is hot!' Ade exclaimed breaking the silence. 'and in that chick, you mean Jide's wife?' Dave asked 'yes, one and only...uhm..Daisy, yes Daisy! Gosh i had almost forgotten about her!' Ade answered. 'But then, Jide hardly spoke about her' Dele quipped in '...that we so forgot that he was even a married man!...' he continued. Jide didn't join in the discussion, he wasn't even listening, he was angry at Daisy for daring to appear clad shabbily while his friends were around, did she think this was America? He'd had no idea that she had been swimming, maybe he'd have tried to distract them somehow. He was also angry at his friends. They had immediately switched topics, no more discussing about his absence at the club, but now discussing Daisy like she was why they came. And Ade who had seemed nonchalant minutes ago, was now an oracle of information, supplying details about the marriage to the other guys. They had not attended the wedding, they probably didn't get the information then. 'I will go for her to see...' Ade was saying. 'go for who?' Jide cut in. Everyone fell silent. Mischievous expression on their faces, Ade was even gloating. Jide wished then that he had paid attention to what they'd been saying. 'well, Ade was filling us on how the marriage...' Dele offered 'I didn't employ you to discuss my life or...' Jide cut in angrily. 'oh man, please relax, its not no big deal...'Ade said and shrugged. 'it's not your f.ucking business!' Jide replied angrily. 'tis mine big time' Ade replied '...and Don't come up acting like some jealous husband, cos we both know that you don't even care'. Ade replied, He always enjoyed making Jide angry. 'What do you even know about me?' Jide was fast losing his temper 'i know enough to know that nobody can even guess you're married, so just chilax okay!' Ade retorted. 'Am gonna hit...' 'Relax Jide, no need to hit someone here. And Ade you shouldn't push further, its really none of your business' Dave intercepted. The word exchange was threatening to blow up. 'whatever man' Ade replied unrepentant and moved away from the group. 'your offer's still up?' Dave asked. 'Basketball you mean' Jide replied trying to calm his temper 'no way that happening, we ain't clay, the sun...' Ade cut in 'just f.ucking shut up else i hit you good this time...'Jide said angrily walking towards Ade now, But Dave restrained him. Ade put the phone he'd been pressing into his pocket, and waited for the showdown. 'can you guyz get a hold of yourself, we ain't chicks for crying out loud!' Dave said angrily. Dele Laughed all of a sudden. All attention turned to him. 'sorry guyz, i quite find everything funny' Dele said another bout of laughter threatening to escape any moment. They ignored him, it was a thing with him, silly things amused him and he never even tried to control himself. Jide shrugged off Dave's retraining hand and walked towards the house. He would one day show Ade that this irritating attitude of his, would get him beaten, and he wouldn't let go without drawing a blood or two from his annoying lips. Why was the guy always on his skin anyways? He cursed bitterly. Dave and Dele followed him, Ade trotting behind. ***** The guys sat in the parlour, their attention focused on a football match showing on Supersports, a glass of wine sat on each side tool. Their faces didn't hold any trace of the previous brawl, instead, anticipation etched on their faces as their body moved in line with every shot, players in the match took. The fragrant of a perfume caught Jide's attention, turning around, he saw Daisy at the Dining, she was picking up something. Her phone probably. He'd seen it there earlier and had....it didn't matter anyways. Soon, all their attention were on her as she walked towards them. The clock showed the time to be past eleven. Daisy was casually dressed in a blue body fitted top and black jean. She also hung a matching bag, evidence that she was unmistakenly going out. Jide thought she looked breathtaking. Daisy stopped midway and smiled shyly. She was nervous and prayed that her stutterring didn't betray her now. 'uhm hi...i unavoidably need to be somewhere...so I'd be seeing you guyz another time?' she asked and smiled very unsure. Without waiting for their response, she headed out, without as much as a glance towards Jide. As before, they momentarily fell silence. A shout by the commentator, jolted them out of their inertia, Dave and Dele returned their attention to the match but Jide couldn't. He was boiling with a rage he couldn't understand. Ade stood up then, smiled and rushed out of the parlour. Eyes trailed his exit then settled back on the match. Minutes later, Ade returned, he smiled mischievously and settled contentedly on the settee. Curious eyes turned to him again. 'so?' Dele asked impatiently when Ade didn't seem forthcoming. Ade grinned. 'what else man, i got her number' He said and returned his gaze to the match. He didn't notice the angry look plastered on Jide's face nor the amusement etched on the face of Dave and Dele. 'and what do you intend to do with it?' Jide asked angrily. 'oh chilax dude, i plan on taking up your offer, remember?' Ade replied nonchalantly, his eyes fixed on the tele. 'you are gonna get it one day' jide retorted angrily, hauling his fist at Ade 'whatever man' Ade replied, hardly paying Jide a glance. silence fell on the group once more, as everyone relaxed, each man to his thoughts. They focused their attention to the football match. The Saturday was sadly turning into ruins for the four friends. ****

U have posted dix b4 in d last update I mean episode 24,we already have it as episode 23 b4

EPISODE 26 Jide paced around the parlour impatiently, his eyes darting at the clock, every now and then and his impatience increasing with every tick of the clock. The time was 7:10pm. His mind wandered back to the afternoon he had spent with his friends. They had eventually left around three, but not without leaving a messy kitchen and Parlour, in their wake. The guys, after all the banter and argument over sports, girls, cars and all other guy's talk, had rummaged the kitchen looking for something to eat when they felt pangs of hunger. Dele had been the first to complain of hunger, and Soon, all four had marched to the kitchen to fix up something for themselves. The soup Daisy had prepared yesterday had been the most hit. It was now cooling off in the freezer with almost half of its content gone. Ade had been the super chef of the day. Even now, remnant of Semovita flour still littered the floor, dirty pots and dishes awaited whomever was in charge of domestic works, Okon or Daisy, Jide didn't care, infact, given the fact that today was Saturday and Okon would be nowhere near the house, the onerous task rested on Daisy. Served her right anyways, Jide had mused. But then, that was actually the least of his problems. Where was Daisy, his supposed 'beloveth wife'? Was this how she behaved and had been pretending otherwise since? Leaving her 'matrimonial' home to go on an undisclosed spree? Without a word or glance his way? Who did she even think she was? Making him all angry and jittery with worries over her? And why did he even care? These and other questions raced through Jide's pacing form. Months ago, and he wouldn't have bated an eyelid, infact he had even wished she would oneday quietly carry her self, baggage and other personal effects and simply vanish into thin air. He would have compensated her with the television and decoder if she wanted. As long as she took her imposed self out of his face. Then also, he had frowned, when he learnt that she sat home all day doing God knows what, courtesy of Adamu, who supplied unsolicited information. But Now he wished she stayed home. 'Everybody's damn so messed up in this house' he spat bitterly and slumped onto the settee. His eyes travelling back to the clock. It was 7:30 now. Jide rolled his eyes and gave up a sigh, his rumbling stomach wasn't making things any better. Soon he dozed off. ***** Daisy smiled cheerfully at the bent form of Adamu as he curtised before her. 'hi' she said and walked on. That man was something else she thought amused. Today had been spectacular, she was so happy to finally see Brenda. From the Airport they had driven to her family house in Ikoyi, then the fun party had moved to interesting places lagos had to offer. Emeka, Brenda's brother had been the tour guide. Brenda had been excited to be back in the country, while she had been excited to finally see her friend, so they'd drove around, hardly noticing that the time was far spent. There was nothing to come back to at home anyways. Daisy's heart missed a beat, few steps ahead when she saw Jide's Blue Sedan car parked in the compound. It meant he was around. She had not counted on him being home when she came back. Suddenly, She felt that old fear creep up again, immediately she pushed it away. She had done nothing bad whatsoever, so what was up with the feeling of fright? She chastised herself. Yet walking further, Daisy still felt uneasy. Silently, she wished Emeka had not insisted on driving Brenda back home after they dropped her at the gate. She sure needed the strength of her presence now. What was it about this man that turned her jelly with fright and unexplainable emotions. Daisy wondered angrily. And after a minute hesitation at the door, she said a silent prayer, braced up for whatever was to come and pushed open the door. The disarray of the parlor greeted Daisy before she noticed the sleeping form of Jide crouched on the settee. Her eyes travelled to the clock, the time was 8:20pm, Daisy sighed. She had not been aware that the time was far spent. Daisy resorted into tiptoe as she passed Jide to her room but a sound from him halted her. He was turning on his sides then. When she heard nothing afterwards, Daisy resumed her slow and steady step only to be halted again by his voice. 'what do you think you're doing?' he asked sitting up. Daisy said nothing, her eyes darting at all corners except on him. She felt foolis.h. Was that question even for her? 'I don't think am invincible, neither should you think you are, what says your time now?' he asked angrily. Daisy eyes went back to the clock, she thought herself foolish, for she'd checked it before. Jide was far from done. 'you proclaim yourself a wife, yet this is when you arrive since morning you left...' he continued. Daisy just stood there like a statue. She was nolonger paying attention to his ramblings. What the hell had gotten into him? She wondered. This was actually the longest he had ever spoken to her, and when did she start owing him an explanation for her actions? Daisy's anger was fast rising. But Since she didn't trust her voice to utter perfectly the way she felt, she'd just let this pass. Her mind set, she started walking away. '...did you not hear what i said, am hungry and i don't eat late but obviously whomever graced your day is more important...' Jide was standing up now. Anger shaking his form. 'food' Daisy cut in unbelievably. Here she was thinking that there was more to his strange behaviour this night, and here he was whining about food! '...yes food, since that's the only wifely duties your little pretty head can come up with as the need of a husband, then get me my dinner. Or what happened? you've forgotten to drop it on the dining as usual and hide...' 'oh stop already! food you want, food you will get!' Daisy shouted, surprised at her boldness, Flung her handbag on the closest settee and dashed to the kitchen. Jide grinned and slumped back on the settee. They'd actually had their first Fight, he thought conceited. Maybe not your normal couple fight, but given the circumstance, this was a start. Jide stretched his legs, the grin still plastered on his face. 'oh God!' came Daisy's sudden shout from the kitchen. Jide grinned harder, almost denting his handsome face. Daisy must have discovered the state of her kitchen and soup he thought smiling. 'bless the boys!' he said. For once, he was glad they came. It served her right too, leaving her home to go frolic around 'God knows where' doing 'God knows what'. His dinner was what he wanted now and he didn't care how it would manifest. What a day to start working towards building a family. He thought. Daisy wasn't finding it funny in the kitchen, the whole place was a mess; like a football team had ransacked her kitchen, plates and pots laid carelessly around, the semovita had stuck hard to them, the tiles were covered in white, and oh no! Not her juice too! Empty packs of it laid about. She moved slowly to where it laid, to ascertain if they had even left a cup for her. Luckily some packs remained. Daisy sighed and went back to the cooking platform, she had decided to fry plantain for Jide. She had earlier planned to cook rice when she returned but going by the present situation, there was no way she would stress herself. Thankfully the stew had survived the rampage, too bad for the soup. She sighed again. 'show me your friends and i will tell you who you are' Daisy muttered under her breath as she got busy on the plantain. Minutes later, she set the last plate containing fried eggs on the dining. She was looking a mess, white particles perched conspicuously on all parts of her body, Daisy was really pissed. Too angry even to analyse the events of the last hour. She looked towards the parlour, Jide was sprawled on the settee again, either sleeping or pretending to, she wasn't sure and didn't care. She just needed a means to get his attention. She shifted one of the dining chair noisily and that did the trick, for Jide rose up. Daisy then walked slowly to where her bag laid, picked it up and made for her room without a second glance Jide's way. 'and where do you think you are going?' Jide asked. He was on his way to the dining. It was more out of something to say than that it was a required question. Even he knew where she was headed. Daisy rolled her eyes and shook her head exasperated. He's gotta be kidding me. She thought still moving. 'am sure i asked a question' Jide pushed further. 'where else do you think am going?' she returned curtly and disappeared through the door leading to the hallway, muttering angrily under her breath. Jide smiled mischievously. He had just wanted to hear her speak to him, nothing more. Infact this was the start to more conversing and bickering to come. Feeling unusually happy with himself, he settled to his meal. Daisy once in her room went straight to the showers. She was damn pissed at Jide and his good for nothing friends. It was only later on her bed that she went over and analyzed the events that transpired that night. Jide was acting up real strange and funny, but she was glad that she had held her turf better than she would have, months ago. She appreciated fully the presence of her friend. It was like a catalyst nudging her up from her deplorable and fast-sinking existence. 'Thank you Bree' she said quietly and let the sweet embrace of sleep take over her tired being. Tomorrow was now a day to look forward to.

EPISODE 27 ***** Jide rolled severally on his bed, only waking up abruptly when he realised that he was on the verge of falling off, he had been having a wonderful dream. With an angry sigh he sat up his eyes traveling to the clock, the time was 8:20, Sunday morning. Jide got up immediately, that his plan of going to church with Daisy for the first time after their wedding, was almost ruined. How had he slept off so st.upidly? He wondered angrily. Few seconds later, he was standing in the parlour, even though it was looking better than he left it yesterday, it felt empty. His food laid covered on the dining but there was no sign of Daisy. He went back to the hallway and stood in front of Daisy's room hoping to hear movements or sounds. Nothing. Hesitantly, he turned the door knob, but it was locked. Immediately, Jide dashed out and soon he was walking towards Adamu. Adamu was sweeping and singing an hausa song when he noticed Jide walking towards him. He stood upright and stopped singing. 'Goodmorning Oga' Adamu greeted, genuflecting in the process. 'morning' Jide answered impatiently 'have you seen Daisy?' he asked. 'Daisy...' Adamu said scratching his head, he momentarily forgot who bore that name. Then it hit him '...oh! Madam!'. Jide sighed, irritated. 'so?' he asked impatiently. 'yes, madam don commot' Adamu replied smiling sheepishly. 'To where?' 'Church oga' replied Adamu. 'Did she specifically tell you that' 'specifically...' Jide hissed again at the dunce of a man. 'she tell you say na there she dey go?' he interpreted. 'She being dress fine and since today na Sunday so i...' 'That's ok' Jide cut in and walked away. He didn't have time to banter with the old man, given the chance, he would go on and on about things that weren't his business. As for Daisy, she was gonna hear from him when she came back. ********** 'Hello' Jide said, the phone hanging between his chin and shoulder while he busied with his shoe lace. He had finally decided to go out, he had waited in vain for Daisy to return but now, the house felt empty and suffocating. The time was threatening to hit 1pm soon. 'Jide love...' the voice at the other end was saying. 'Grace?' he interrupted puzzled. Jide halted the fumbling with his shoe lace to peer at the phone screen. The number had no name. 'Jide darling why are you treating me this way' came the response of the bereaved woman. 'what's with this joke' he asked frowning and went back to his lace tieing. 'its no joke Jide, why are you refusing to pick my call?' Grace asked. Jide sighed and stood up, his shoes now firmly tied. He wasn't in the mood for Grace's nagging. 'thought we ended this days ago' he said walking to the dining. 'am sorry if i angered you then, but lets talk about this okay?' she begged. 'really Grace, i told you from the onset not to expect the more, i am a married man and...' 'please don't give me that poo! But i thought, no! knew we shared something deep and lasting, when did we finally lose it?' whined Grace. 'I really don't have time for this, why don't you understand that it was fun while it lasted, now i want to concentrate on making my marriage work'. He said resignedly. Jide didn't enjoy treating Grace this way, however she nolonger excited him, she was the one pushing herself on him, and he wish she didn't, she was the one to get hurt at the end. Grace was pretty alright and a good bedmate too, but he had problem with her inability to cook well like Daisy and she was bad at nagging. These were the little fault he had capitalized on to end their illicit relationship few days ago. It was as if she had had it coming. He shook his head, it was better they both forgot eachother and moved on. 'Jide! Jide! Are you even listening to me?' Grace cried, Jide had not responded to any of her last questions. Jide had been standing by the dining lost in thought when Grace's voice jolted him. 'am going out, got no time...' he resumed. 'Great, come over lets discuss, i cooked today and guess what would follow...' Grace cajoled. But Jide wasn't paying attention again, noises coming from outside were distracting him now. 'Let me call you back' he said quickly and cut the call without a response from her. Quickly, he tucked the phone in his pocket and made for the door. ****** 'Nice crib hunh' Brenda said coming out of the passenger seat of her car. Her American accent more developed than Daisy's. Daisy came out of the driver seat, she had decided to drive them back. Having long itched to ride a car again. 'something to write home about' Brenda continued, her eyes sweeping round the compound. Adamu was still standing at the gate staring foolishly at the two ladies. 'lets go in, you don't wanna get a tan now do you' Daisy teased. 'on my chocolate skin? No way that happening' Brenda replied. Both girls giggled and made for the house. 'welcome to my solitary, suffocating and...' Daisy was saying cheerfully as they entered the parlor. She stopped when she saw Jide standing in the center of the parlour, his expression unreadable. Everything seem frozen in time as each party studied the other. 'so he's the mother f.ucking hunk, that's been tripping ain't so?' Brenda said melting the silence. 'uhm...Bree, that's...' Daisy started her nervous stutterring. She hadn't expected him home again today! 'Don't trip girl, i know who this dude is' Brenda cut in waving her hand carelessly. Then she strutted to a settee, slowly sat down and crossed her legs, putting all the flamboyant effort she could in the action. Jide eyes travelled from his immobile wife to the sassy stranger seating in his parlour. She was dark complexioned contrasting Daisy light skin, slim shaped, should be about Daisy's height and age. She was on dreadlock and wore a black fitted top on a black trouser, matching the combination with red dangling earrings and red high stilleto that climbed up to forever. Jide was sure she was also pretty behind that big black shades that adorned her face. She reminded him of rich pampered and independent girls in Nigeria he hated and never ever dated. she also looked like those black American girls he watched in American movies, they had this sassy, bitchty, condescending and disrespectful attitude towards people. He feared that this rude human was actually a friend of Daisy's. If she had been the one forced on him, he could bet his a.rse that they wouldn't have lasted a week much less months, it was either he sent her packing or she sent him packing. Things couldn't get any worse, just when he had decided to start working towards... Brenda coughed noisily, the silence in the room was getting unbearable and irritable. What was wrong with Daisy by the way? standing there like some nailed statue, making no move whatsoever. Was this how she reacted to this a.rse hole of a man. Brenda wondered angrily. 'really Dee, get me something to eat or drink, and stop standing there like some goddam idi.ot' Brenda said angrily, removing her eye shades. 'sorry' Daisy said softly and smiled at no one. What indeed was wrong with her? She thought angrily and sat down. Jide looked towards Brenda again, as he had suspected, she was pretty, like the black American girls he so loathed. She was frantically eyeing him now. 'your friend hunh?' Jide asked the thin air and started walking away. No wonder Daisy had been acting up this few days, now he knew where she drew her power from. she cared no more about him, what an influence to align with! He thought shaking his head. 'remind me to hate that girl' he said to himself, minutes later as he drove out of the compound. Back in the parlor, Daisy eyes glance fixedly at the black-blue tiled floor, she felt Brenda's annoyed gaze bore into her skin, but said nothing. 'Daisy what went wrong back there? Brenda finally spoke up, rage in her tone. The mortified Daisy refused to look up at her friend who would be really cross with her right now. 'Is that how you behave in front of him?' Brenda further asked. 'I didn't know he was around okay' she defended. 'duh, the dude lives here so why wont he...' 'He's always never around, that got me off balance' Daisy cut in. 'you shouldn't be for any reason, he might be hot and all, but he ain't a gentle man and don't need soft...' Daisy sighed. 'Can we drop the subject...please' Daisy said softly. Brenda sighed resignedly, her anger dissipating. Daisy wasn't your regular bold and daring girl, her wiry attitude hasn't fully rubbed off on her, much as she would have loved it. Besides she could see how deeply her friend loved this man, if his presence only, could affect her like this. 'He's hot quit okay...' she said on a lighter note '...but he ain't been to Madam Teresa's school for the well behaved gentlemen' Daisy smiled and looked up at her friend who was also smiling. It was a private joke they shared. Any man who acted rudely to them, they concluded, hadn't gone to that school where he would have been trained otherwise. But then the school was non existent, they formulated it. 'No he ain't been to one, and they got none in Nigeria too' Daisy added cheerfully. 'obviously girlfriend' Brenda called out, snapping her fingers with each syllable she said. 'come let me show you around, then we'd go prepare something to eat' Daisy said standing up and pulling her friend with her. Brenda obliged. And both giggling like teenagers, they made for the hallway to go explore other parts of the house. Brenda was affected by the resilience of her friend, little things hardly weighed her down for long, she always managed to bounce back to her cheerful self. She felt a strong urge to protect her against Jide who obviously didn't appreciate the wonderful woman that was his wife. Well, it was only day two of her arrival, Daisy still had a long way to go, and she still had rules to teach on how she would successfully subdue and stand up against her husband. Today, they'd just made do with catching up on old times. Handsome, irritating Jide, would occupy the back space. ********

I will drop another one later today. Happy weekend

EPISODE 28 Jide rode aimlessly around surulere environs, his thoughts were in a haze and he was feeling really angry. Minutes ago, he had rolled up the glasses of the car, settling instead for the A.C, it was like a defence mechanism, for he really didn't want law-breaking motorists or the damn drivers of Molue commercial buses to get him more pissed. They seemed to be everywhere, gliding in and out of lane trying to beat whatever target they'd set for themselves. Wasn't today supposed to be Sunday, why were they not resting or something? He wondered. Busy city indeed was Lagos. He concluded with a sigh. As he approached the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Surulere, he reduced his speed and considered going in. 'To do what?' 'Whatever there is to do'. He answered the questioner in his mind. Then Slowly he ebbed his way out of the road and made for a parking space quite close to the entrance of the stadium. His stomach rumbled then as if reminding him that it had not been settled. Jide winced glancing at the time piece, it was quarter to two, and he hadn't eaten! The realisation turned his hands on the wheel into a fist, he couldn't remember when last he'd have to eat lunch late apart from when he had a pile load of work. Well, not after he got married anyways. Maybe what he needed now was food and not a day in the stadium. He concluded and pulled back to the road, his sights set on any eatery close by. What was with the new attitude of Daisy he thought as he drove, no doubt, that sullen rude stranger he met earlier on was the smoke behind the clouds, she definitely had nothing palatable to offer, 'whoever she was, whatever was her name and wherever she appeared from'. Jide cursed bitterly. If he had his way she wouldn't even be a mile close to his house or his wife. She was nothing than another cog in the wheel in his progress of building up a home he had recently started craving. Jide eyes shifted to his phone now shrieking helplessly on the passenger seat. He didn't feel like talking to anyone so he ignored the call, parked at one side of the road and set to choosing where to patronize between the two eateries facing eachother. He wasn't a pro at this things, he didn't have a favorite 'cos he hardly patronized them, thanks to his secretary anyways. The phone resumed its cries, its vibration paining the hell out of Jide's ears, angry and irritated, he picked the annoying thing. The caller's ID was hidden. Pressing the receive button, he switched the phone to 'hands free' and said nothing, as a rule, he never was the first 'hello' to calls like this, if the callers weren't bold enough to call, they didn't deserve his courtesy. 'Jide, are you there? Why did you cut me off that way, you promised to call and I've been waiting yet...'came the hysterical voice of a female Jide sighed and shook his head 'Grace, what's the meaning of these?' he asked calmly. 'what!' she shouted. 'why the hell are you calling me with strange numbers and...' 'since you've made it a duty to ignore my call, when i call with...' 'you are better than this'. Jide interrupted. 'Really now, am I?' she snapped 'Okay okay, I know Jide, but am desperately...' Grace resorted to whining. Not the desperation word please! Jide cringed in disgust. He hated clinging and desperate girls, just like he had envisioned Daisy then. But obviously now, she seemed to be one to keep her distance. To an extent, he was okay with it. 'Grace what do you want? Am sorry we ended, but you gotta move on...' 'No!' Grace cut in vehemently 'lets talk about us, the last time you were in a fit of rage and...' Jide sighed. There was no reasoning with her. 'look am damn hungry and i got no time for...' 'I cooked! Yes i did' Grace cut in, a hint of excitement in her voice '...specially for you'. No response from Jide's side. 'Am working on my cooking okay, Stella is helping me with it, am...am getting better just for you...' Jide sighed again. Better wasn't what she'd prepared last, but since he was really hungry, it wont hurt to give her the benefit of the doubt. Fast foods didn't thrill him anyway. 'okay okay' he cut in resignedly. '...give me some minutes, i will be there'. 'Oh! Thank you, i promise you wont regret it, am gonna treat you real good, give you the best...' Jide kicked start the engine drowning out her ramblings. That girl could talk all the way to her house if you let her, 2 year since they had been dating and she didn't know what kind of man he was? He wasn't one to give in to so much talk. Everything needn't be settled by talking always! God! Her nagging had become unbearable of recent. '...okay, I'd be waiting for you.' Grace came to an end, she'd noticed Jide wasn't responding either. '...see you then?' she wanted to be sure. 'Grace am coming' Jide replied irritated after seconds of hesitation. 'okay' she said quite inaudibly and the air went silence. She had ended the call. Jide gave out a long breath. You gotta give it to Grace to talk and nag out your existence! Thank God Daisy didn't seem to nag or maybe she was successfully covering that aspect of her wifely self, as far as he was concerned, women couldn't help the act, twas as if they were all born with it. Whatever the case, He was really done and over with this particular nagging chick. She was pretty, independent and all but she had no hold on him anymore, he felt pity for her, but he couldn't help it, he hadn't caused it either, the blame rested on Mama, his father and on their choice-bride. They had usurped her position while Daisy somehow finally managed to grip his heart. She could have very well been the Mrs Olukoya, when he eventually decided to settle down. Too bad, he was as helpless as she was in this situation. Jide could sight her compound now, she lived at an apartment in Ojuelegba, like 30 minutes drive from Aguda where he lived. Everything had worked good for them then...the closure and all. But now, everyone's got to move on he concluded. ***** 'welcome darling' Grace said as she moved seductively, towards Jide, her hands wide open for a hug. Jide raised his hands, his palms facing her, symbolizing her to stop. Grace grimaced and stopped in her track, slowly bringing down her hands. 'a hug wouldn't hurt' she said pained. 'nor take us anywhere' Jide replied walking past her. 'we used to be so good, everything was perfect, we were the best around...' Would she allow him land before she began her sorry speech? Jide thought, irritation visible on his face. 'I didn't come for that...atall' he said and slumped unto a settee. 'what happened to us?' Grace continued unpreturbed, she was near tears now. Not the tears! Jide thought bewildered. Grace was stronger than this, what was wrong with her today. Maybe this was a bad idea afterall, but then, what had he expected? '...why don't we talk about us, our time together. I love you like I've never loved another, 2 years of my life i gave to you, why are you suddenly treating me with so much disgust, did you ever even loved me?' 'I surely did, but now I...' 'But now what? some dumb ass ninny from planet Mars came into the picture, and voila! Am outta the album, just like that?' Grace voice was ringing out now in anger. 'You make it sound as if i did it on purpose!' Jide matched her tone. 'you bloody well ain't doing anything otherwise!'she screamed. 'otherwise like what!' 'Like send the annoying thing outta the house and bring me the rightful Occupant in!' 'you don't f.ucking tell me what to do, neither do you run my life, you hear me! Okay?' he shouted staring at Grace who was now towering over him where he sat. 'obviously i don't! Your grandmama does!' she retorted. 'that's it!' Jide said standing up then started walking towards the door. 'like i said, I didn't come for this atall'. What was wrong with these people anyways, was this a set up to keep him hungry and angry today? Before he could get to the door, Grace zoomed pass him and was now shielding the door with her hands wide outstretched. 'please get out of my way' he said angrily. 'Don't go please, am sorry, i didn't mean for this to happen, my fear of losing you made me...' Grace was pleading. This woman was a nutcase Jide thought angrily and lurched to push her away. If he didn't get out now, with all that was going through him, he feared what he might do. But Grace didn't bulge, regardless the push. Hers was the case of a woman fighting desperately to hold on to a man she loved. Resignedly, Jide ceased trying to pull her away, he was as spent as she was and just wanted to settle this amicably...if that was ever possible...and be out of her life for good. All her drama was actually stirring his well of hatred towards her in the negative. Grace broke down in tears just then, this wasn't how she had wanted it to end, she had hoped to make headway with winning back his heart and love. But look where her tantrums had ended her efforts.Jide stood, unsure of what to make of this, he'd never seen her cry before. Suddenly, the weight of how deeply he'd hurt her rested on him. But then, he had told her not to expect more, maybe he hadn't been convincing enough or she had hadn't been listening atall. But what was wrong with him? How could he just abandon a journey of 2 years for that of few months? Grace sniffed back tears now and said 'tell me Jide, do you still love me atall' 'Don't make this any harder' he replied softly. 'I can handle it, just tell me' 'I can handle it, just tell me' 'I don't, as much as before' Jide said slowly 'but that...' he was adding 'that's ok, you don't need to explain' a pause, then, 'do you love her...your wife?' Realising only then that she didn't even know her name. Or maybe she had forgotten, didn't matter anyways.

EPISODE 29 'I...I...I' Jide stuttered, angry at this sudden speech impediment. 'nothing but the truth' Grace cut in. 'if what i feel for her can be called love, well...' 'I thought you hated her, how come you now have unexplainable feelings for her' she said with sarcasm. 'I don't know how it began, but gradually she wound her way to my heart, all the things that irritated and angered me about her then, seem to draw me closer to her now. Sometimes I wonder why she chose to marry me' Jide replied dreamily, missing the sarcasm in her question. He felt relief, for he had so wanted to express this feeling that suddenly emerged from nowhere. Grace felt jealous and angry. Why had she decided to marry him? Simple! She was a home-wrecker, a joy-stealer, nothing more! But she dared not voice her observation to this new Jide, gone was the man that came crying on her bossom, complaining about how his family ruined his life with a 'movie-crazed' puppet. Now he was the 'whatever-her-name-was puppet. And she was the fool at the end, the pure loser! Sighing, she moved away from the door. 'The food must be cold by now' she said heading towards the kitchen. 'do you think that's still necessary?' he asked 'come on, i cooked it specially for you, you wont deny me that atleast' she replied walking still, not a glance back. Oh well, no harm in it. Jide thought and slumped on a settee, his anger relegated to the back. Minutes later, clanging cuttleries signified that they were onto a meal of rice and stew. Jide thought the food better, but didn't think it surpassed that of his wife, however, he complimented her efforts anyways. In silence they ate, until out of nowhere Grace asked: 'Why din't you divorce her then?' 'she's quite harmless and simple' Jide replied simply and continued grinding his chicken bone. That was Jide, he never undervalued good food and he was a big eater too. That struck an anger cord in Grace, but she said nothing. That girl wasn't only harmless, she was dangerous! She was the reason why her life was crashing before her, 26, with no man of her own, prospect of starting over building a relationship! Yet here he was calling her harmless! As she watched Jide deal with the chicken, she knew she'd lost him for good. The best thing she could do was to move on as he said. She silently prayed for God to help her forget him. ******** Jide drove into his compound at about 7 in the evening. He was feeling tipsy, consequence of the few hours he'd spent alone at a bar drinking whilst he glanced absentmindely at a repeat broadcast of a match between Chelsea and Barca. He had left Grace's place at about 4pm, not feeling like heading home just yet, he'd opted for a bar instead. Hopefully Daisy and her friend would be over and gone when he returned. He thought. He hadn't felt like hanging out with his friends either, and though he'd thought of calling Dave since he was the one he could relate more with, he had stopped short before he completed the task. Dele was strange enough and Ade was simply badluck, he could still felt the sour taste of his last gimmicks. And after all that's said and done, he kept to himself and enjoyed it too. Jide pushed open the door to see Daisy relaxing comfortably on the settee, wriggling her legs in pleasure while she answered a call. She didn't notice him at first, but when she did, her countenance changed and she hurriedly mumbled some words and cut the call. Jide walked forward, he had half expected her home, since that happened to be the new status quo. He noticed she was wearing a pink short gown, he'd never seen it on her before, grudgingly he admitted that it flattered her complexion and made her look more sexy than he could ever remember she was. But he wasn't appeased. 'madam' he stressed with a sarcastic tone, 'I see things are uping wonderfully well in your camp?' he added. Daisy said nothing. She forced her eyes to stay on the television, while she wriggled her hand frantically. How had Brenda 'coached' her to react to him? She wondered helplessly. Yes! cool! Brenda had said: 'act so cool and nonchalant when he brings up that attitude'. Daisy glanced at her shaky palms and exhaled, so much for acting cool. She thought drily. Jide stood now, considering the form of Daisy as she sat there pretending that he wasn't even in front of her. Her and this pink gown of hers which exposed her thighs conspicuously and a neckline which revealed a tip of the pure haven he was sure lay just below, he felt a sudden urge to drag her up and kiss the immobility out of her limp body and draw a sound out of her silent lips. God! She was teasing and driving him insane with all that annoying docility of hers. Daisy felt uncomfortable, she sensed his hot gaze on her skin, suddenly she felt weak and started blaming herself for not running to her room when she heard his car drive in. Losing fate but determined to leave the parlour, she stood up, colliding directly into him. Jide made no move to shift. Daisy muttered an incomprehensible apology or something and made to by pass him, but before she could take a step forward, strong hand grabbed at her arm and pulled her back. Daisy found herself in facing Jide, it was the closest she had ever been with him, immediately her heart started thumping. The smell of alcohol wafted to her nose, she couldn't bring herself to stare at his face. Her height perfectly matched his, though she was a trifle shorter. After what felt like hours since they'd been standing, Jide finally spoke between clenched teeth. 'don't think you call the shots around here, because of your seeming new acquired power, i still remain the MAN here, hopefully, you're not planning on remaining 'chaste' forever are you? Cos i own every damn thing about you,' a pause, then 'Everything' he stressed. His eyes travelled appreciatively then, from her face down, lingering on her bossom, then sliding up again to her face, where his eyes met hers peering intently at him. Their gaze locked. One defiant and unyielding, the other surprised and awed. Somehow, those words of Jide had melted something in Daisy's heart and she had found herself bravely staring up to match his gaze. The expression she'd seen and read on his face dissolved all her senseless fright and in its place was a renewed feeling of strength and power. This man that had terrorized her in fantasy and reality was finally falling for her! As that realisation struck her, Daisy found her heart pinning for revenge, a desire to make him suffer just the way he'd made her. If love had ever inhabited her heart for this man standing before her, she didn't feel it at that moment. Jide on his part, had become lost and awed at the depth of her eyes, he didn't know they were this beautiful and compelling! But then this was the first time ever he was actually seeing this woman that was his wife. She was indeed charming with an angelic face, he felt he would happily get lost in the spell her eyes cast. Daisy smiled slyly then, a grin playing at the corner of her lips. Jide could bet that that smile of hers could light up the whole house, even his heart was already electrified by its warmth...no, maybe not warmth, the eyes held...something like mischief? 'i heard you perfectly well' Daisy replied his earlier taunt and gently tried to pull her arms away but Jide held on tightly. 'we are not done here yet' he said calmly. 'then be over and done with' Daisy replied curtly. Her tone hit Jide. He knew instantly that his worst fear was finally coming to pass, Daisy had never spoken that boldly and rudely to him before, and now she just did! Slowly he loosened his hold on her palms, feeling momentarily lost and hurt. Daisy smiled another wicked and sly one at him again, wrenched her arms free, then walked out on him heading towards the hallway. Her head proudly lifted high. 'you don't leave this house without my knowledge' he suddenly called after her. 'that's not an issue' she replied without a glance back at the distraught Jide. When she got close to the dining she mocked: 'food, dear Jide'. Then laughed quietly to herself and disappeared through the curtain leading to the hallway. She had personally broken the hold Jide had on her. Now Grace could successfully come in. She thought smugly. ********

EPISODE 30 Jide woke up earlier than usual this morning. He hadn't slept a thing the night before. To his irritation and annoyance, he found out that thoughts of Daisy assailed his dreams. In the dreams, he saw daisy laughing at him with scorn and hatred, dressed in that pink gown of hers. At other times, he saw himself drowning in a baseless depth, one he couldn't quite fathom or imagine, even though he hadn't been frightened. Then at those times when his eyes simply refused to close, his heart, to his irritation, seemed to have a mind of its own, analyzing the events of Sunday night which they should have known better to push aside. Jide could not explain why he was suddenly feeling like somethings were missing in his life, like his heart was in a form of pain. Jide really wished the feelings would go, even if only for that night. He wanted to be angry again so he could return to his complacent state, willing that his anger would become the defense shield he needed to fight whatever it was that threatened to engulf him now, but he couldn't seem to keep aflame that part of him, especially when it concerned Daisy. Jide feared that they were the signs of deep affection developing towards his wife and he so wanted to deny it. And at the end, he gave up the fight of trying to stay awake. Having sat most of the morning on his unappealing bed, which seemed to have grown larger to him now. Jide felt it would suddenly swallow him, and he sighed at such foolishness. Jide found himself wishing that somehow, he could be in another room, on another bed with a certain someone, doing some certain things... But then, he mused, if wishes were horses, beggars would get a pleasurable ride on it. But the Daisy he had experienced last night was a transformed one. One that was far from obliging him a ride any time soon. Not that that was what he only craved for anyways. Seeing that his attempts at returning back to sleep were proving futile, Jide decided to use the opportunity to clear up his desk and rid it off unwanted documents and papers. Atleast his wake keep wouldn't amount to nothing, he reasoned. At the end of his self imposed chore, his study became a pool of papers and debris but Jide cared less, certain that he would not return home to the mess, courtesy of Okon. Much later, at around 7am when Jide entered the parlor all set for work, he still wasn't feeling any better, nothing was able to change the fact that he had woken up on the wrong side of the bed. He just cast a distasteful glance towards the dining table, half expecting it to be empty, it wasn't. Still he had no appetite whatsoever. He simply grabbed his car keys on the table and made for the door. He couldn't see Daisy anywhere. Out in the compound, as he made for his car. He sighted Daisy swimming with abandon in the pool. He found himself exhaling in relief, maybe because he had subconsciously nurtured a unknown fear. Whatever it was, Jide didn't deliberate further on it. He just Entered his car, without another glance towards the swimming form of Daisy. However, he paused for a while at the gate and peered undecidedly at the fluttered form of Adamu, who was holding the gate in a bid to restrain it from closing while his employer left. Adamu wondered why his Oga should, uncharacteristic of him, stop at the gate to stare at him. Was it something he did or said? But few seconds later, Jide honked once and zoomed off. He had successfully fought down the momentary urge he had of telling Adamu to notify him through calls if Daisy happened to leave the compound later on. Later, as he caught up with the morning traffic Lagos had to offer. Jide rejoiced at the insight and self control he had exhibited then, thanking his stars that he had not allowed his insane emotions over rule his better judgment and make him do something he would never ever have imagined himself doing. Stalking a woman, nevertheless she was his wife! Then discussing his personal affairs with loud-mouthed Adamu. The shame of it! 'Daisy...' he said calmly to himself then, '...see what you would have made me do' ******** 'Dee come quick, it's about to start!' Brenda excitedly called out. 'just a sec please' Daisy replied from the kitchen. The girls had been warming up all morning to see a movie which had gathered so much hype on Mnet ever since. When Brenda came in later on, Daisy had let her in on the gig and together they waited in anticipation for it. And now, it was about to start. 'oh my God! Daisy screamed at a name displayed on the screen, she was holding a tray containing popcorn and juice. Then Settling it on a table, she hurried to go sit on her favourite place directly opposite the television. Soon, two pairs of eyes fixed at the screen in excitement, while their hands dug into the popcorn dish at intervals. The subject of their excitement, a movie premiere on Mnet. When the film ended two hours later, the girls couldn't stop talking about the heights and fall of the movies: who should have done this or that; why the girl hadn't shown the other her stuff, how if it had been her (Brenda), she would have done more than required, bla bla bla... Daisy hadn't contributed much herself, she was no longer a fan of romance stories, they served better as entertainment to her, but she couldn't allow herself be taken in by the fantastic life they portrayed. Her life was tale enough. The kind of love people in the movies felt, was scripted, it told nothing about real life. And with a sigh she watched Brenda chatter on and on about the movie, Daisy thought Brenda needed an experience just like hers to change her mentality about love. However, she knew her to be wiser enough to tell apart fairytale from reality, unlike her. Brenda on her part, hadn't noticed that she had lost her friend in the movie frenzy. She kept on her analysis and criticism until she noticed her friend was quiet. 'why are you suddenly quiet?' she asked, her hands caught in midair. 'really? Am I?' Daisy asked. 'ofcourse you were!' she said her hand resting on her laps now. 'you've not said much about the movie' she pressed further. 'i said something! but since i don't know what to say again, i locked up' Daisy shrugged avoiding her eyes while she busied with the empty bowl of popcorn. 'Dee has nothing more to say about a movie as sizzling as that? Brenda scoffed. 'And stop already with that bowl, its empty!' she screamed in anger. Daisy smiled and left the bowl. 'you are not the Daisy who left Boston' Brenda started. 'why? I've grown tail, horns and sharp nails' Daisy joked. 'come of it, am serious! You seem to have this ambience of of...' she paused trying to get the suitable expression, seconds later, she was still grappling with the right words. '...you mean an air of maturity' Daisy offered drily. Brenda snapped her finger 'yeah! something like that' she said. Daisy smiled again. 'must be cos am married' she added drily again. 'oh! come of it, that's not the reason!' 'well...i think i know what you mean, it is I who changed, am conscious of it. Its just that somehow i've learnt that life isnt all like the movies atall. And though I've always seen them as a means of escape, but allowed them shape my perception of reality. I mean i wont be in this mess, if i knew that i am not a Sarah Parker, or some Angelina Jolie, or even a Mercy Johnson acting out a part where the crushed upon, suddenly turns around and say: Oh Daisy, you've loved me enough, why don't i love you back! I mean the silliness of my decision is annoying. I was coming to save the beloved? But he sure don't need my salvation, and now am the one in need of saving' Daisy ended, her body shaking in anger. 'oh my baby is finally growing up!' Brenda said clapping her hands. 'am not joking here' Daisy protested feigning anger. 'that girlfriend! is exactly what I've been trying to pass across ever since!' Daisy rolled her eyes then and sighed. 'reality bite i guess' she said. 'you can said that again! But then again, life's a bit.ch, and only the bitchty can stand up to her' 'jeez! Where did you get that phrase from?' Daisy exclaimed. 'your girl here's been building up her vocab' 'with the wrongest words i see' Daisy said rolling her eyes. 'just don't tell dad i said any bitchty words again' 'the oldman's on your neck?' Daisy asked picking up the remote. 'stale news' Brenda said drily. 'asking me to come join the company and all'. 'that's why you came back anyways?' Daisy said her attention still on the television. 'yeah, but i gotta have some time to myself for a while! That man got to like chilax! Few days in the country and he's talking about managing the branch firm! For pete's sake! Am not a dude or something!' 'you should be glad and not complain' Daisy said. 'don't be all good girl on me puleaseee!' she replied snapping her fingers. A pause and then: 'that reminds me, with this boring work talk and all, is that where HE went to?' she asked. Daisy lightly flung the remote on the table. 'like normally' she replied nonchalant. 'yeah normally' Brenda scoffed. 'that reminds me too! something exceptional happened last night, at the hour i called you!' Daisy started excitedly. 'what?' Brenda drawled not a bit excited. To her, it was another vague story of how bold Daisy stood against Jide. If boldness what was Daisy called her skirmishes, then the mice shouldnt be called timid. With the way she had reacted after she found her kitchen in a mess, yet went ahead to cook the culprit a meal! That didn't define boldness to her. Who slaved for ungrateful people anyways!

EPISODE 31 'Bree, are you even listening' Daisy asked noticing her friend far and nonchalant stance' 'ain't it another one of those stories' she said drily shaking her heads. 'much much better!' Daisy countered. 'okay, am all ears' Brenda said with a nonchalant tone. What were friends for? She shrugged. Daisy would equally listen to her silly tales when she had to tell. But that was if actually she HAD one. 'okay! It was just about the time i cut the call, then he walked closer....' Daisy went on with the narrative of the night before, details by details. Brenda's interest piqued and picked with every detail she heard. 'oh my God! She exclaimed now. 'He didn't actually said that!' 'every word!' Daisy answered. 'oh my God!' she exclaimed again 'and how did you react this time?' she asked. 'better than i could ever imagine!' 'with you, i wouldn't count on better' Brenda said a sceptic look on her face. 'trust me when i say I was better, i was better' Daisy said. Immediately her countenance changed into a forlorn look. 'it was as if his words untied a cord in my heart, what i felt then was revenge...' 'revenge? Hmm, that's a starter' Brenda interrupted. They were indeed heading somewhere. 'i also felt like hitting him hard, just the way he did me. I want him to suffer more' Daisy continued with vehemence. 'easy now, are we not talking about the same Jide here?' Brenda asked surprise. Daisy gave an i-couldn't-care-less look. 'whoa! what actually hit him?' asked Brenda. 'i dont care' Daisy replied drily. 'maybe he was drunk as you said and not thinking straight' 'maybe. But what i saw in his eyes then' she humped. 'it can't be mistaken. 'like seriously! he couldn't possibly be in love with you now! Maybe he's just lusting, that's pretty normal right?' 'lust or love, they mean the same to them guyz' Daisy stood up now, '...and if he feels he can be all over my bum just like that, then 'he got a long way to go'' she completed singing the tune to the chorus of Cassie's 'long way to go' music. 'that's the attitude!' Brenda shouted excitedly and stood up too. 'wait wait, i got that song in my collection' 'play it girl!' Daisy screamed excitedly. Warming up for the dance. Cassie's 'long way to go to go' music rang loud from Brenda's Blackberry Porshe, and soon the friends were singing along excitedly. When the chorus came up, Daisy's voice rang the loudest. 'you claim that you're so hot that you got skills in the bedroom, say you wanna come see me, that your little girlfriend wanna be me...' They sang and danced happily, later pushing the table aside to create space. And after cassie's piece rolled by, other songs came up, they danced with no less fervour. At the end of the visit, Brenda and Daisy mapped out a day to go clubbing. ******** ******** 'Going out today, Daisy' Jide read from a piece of paper lying conspicuously on the Dining. He hadn't meant to eat before leaving for work, sitting down to a meal this days didn't appeal to him. The way Daisy had taunted him about food that Saturday night still left a bile on his tongue, it was just the folded paper that had caught his attention & now he was angry at its content. Jide squeezed the paper into a pulp and flung it angrily at the wall. Daisy was indeed having a field day and really acting up, feeling like she had all the cards to her favour in whatever game she was playing. Today was Thursday and yet the rift between them was far from closing. He was far from normalcy, his feelings threatened to engulf him if any moment. Daisy on her part was making matter worst, she has changed so much. Every move she made these days deliberately teased and taunted him. Where had she gotten those stock of breath taking gowns she wore always at nights anyways? Sighing, he left the dining to the parlour, picked his keys and headed out. He knew where to find Daisy for she had suddenly developed this knack for a session of swimming every morning. True to his words, he sighted Daisy in the pool. Jide had meant to ignore her totally but somehow his feet betrayed and lead him directly towards her & now he was towering over her swimming form. Daisy was doing a backstroke then when she sighted him, but she went on with her activities like he wasn't even there. After some painful seconds, Jide had no other option than to speak else he would just stand there till infinto while this annoying wife of his ignored him totally. 'can i talk to you for a sec' he said with clenched teeth. Daisy swam towards the other end of the pool, rested her back on the wall and wiped the water dripping from her face. 'what about?' she said drily. 'and where do you think you are going later today' he asked. Daisy grinned. 'Is that what this is about?' 'just answer the damn question' Jide retorted. 'I don't think i should answer that, i obliged your request, now leave me alone already' Daisy said sharply and plunged into the water. She was more of an expert in swimming, her long stay in the riverine area of Ijebu-ode had developed her passion for swimming while Boston had perfected her capabilities in the act. Swimming for her was a means of relaxation and keeping in shape. But Throughout those months when she'd been down, she had lost the urge for swimming, but now, it was the first thing she thought of every morning, after Jide anyways. Jide watched the pool in anger and irritation, soon it turned into fright, Daisy was yet to resurface after plunging in a minute ago! Though he wasn't a pro at it, but this length of time to be submerged in water wasn't normal! he panicked. He couldn't dare it anyways. Just then Daisy resurfaced gasping for air, her face held excitement but it changed into a frown when she saw Jide crouching by the pool, a worried look on his face. 'you're still here?' Daisy said 'Please be gone already, i don't owe you an explanation!' she screamed. Jide stood up, an angry grimace on his face, he shook his head and headed for his car. 'have a wonderful day at work today, because i definitely will!' Daisy called out to him in mockery. And with a smug feeling, she plunged into the water again. This is just the beginning! she thought. ******* Jide drove into the office complex at about 8am, he had fumed and cursed angrily at defaulters on his way. Even now, he was still angry he ignored the greetings of people he met and marched straight to his office. 'anything for me yet' he asked his secretary soon as he stepped into her office that adjoined his. 'morning sir' she said standing up. 'so...' Jide asked impatiently 'No incoming invoice yet but your father requested your presence soon as you come' 'he's in already' Jide simply said and matched on to his office. Seconds later he thrust his head through the door. 'and get me something to eat' he barked and banged the door. 'yes sir' Dorothy replied. She had been making to sit when his order came. She came out of her desk now and made for the door, contemplating what she would get her boss for breakfast. Before now all she had bothered about was getting his lunch, but since this week had began, he'd kept asking breakfast from her. She wondered what could possibly go for breakfast in an office. It wasn't a secret that her boss and the American wife he had wedded that Saturday were not in good terms. Infact she could confidently attest to the fact that her boss was still seeing his former girlfriend. Courtesy of the calls she received from her on his behalf. If anyone asked her, Grace was very okay, atleast she occupied a respectable position at a media outfit, but she wondered why her Boss had suddenly gotten married to another woman. Poor Grace! But where had this his wife even come from?

Where had she gotten those stock of breath taking gowns she wore always at nights anyways? Sighing, he left the dining to the parlour, picked his keys and headed out. He knew where to find Daisy for she had suddenly developed this knack for a session of swimming every morning. True to his words, he sighted Daisy in the pool. Jide had meant to ignore her totally but somehow his feet betrayed and lead him directly towards her & now he was towering over her swimming form. Daisy was doing a backstroke then when she sighted him, but she went on with her activities like he wasn't even there. After some painful seconds, Jide had no other option than to speak else he would just stand there till infinto while this annoying wife of his ignored him totally. 'can i talk to you for a sec' he said with clenched teeth. Daisy swam towards the other end of the pool, rested her back on the wall and wiped the water dripping from her face. 'what about?' she said drily. 'and where do you think you are going later today' he asked. Daisy grinned. 'Is that what this is about?' 'just answer the damn question' Jide retorted. 'I don't think i should answer that, i obliged your request, now leave me alone already' Daisy said sharply and plunged into the water. She was more of an expert in swimming, her long stay in the riverine area of Ijebu-ode had developed her passion for swimming while Boston had perfected her capabilities in the act. Swimming for her was a means of relaxation and keeping in shape. But Throughout those months when she'd been down, she had lost the urge for swimming, but now, it was the first thing she thought of every morning, after Jide anyways. Jide watched the pool in anger and irritation, soon it turned into fright, Daisy was yet to resurface after plunging in a minute ago! Though he wasn't a pro at it, but this length of time to be submerged in water wasn't normal! he panicked. He couldn't dare it anyways. Just then Daisy resurfaced gasping for air, her face held excitement but it changed into a frown when she saw Jide crouching by the pool, a worried look on his face. 'you're still here?' Daisy said 'Please be gone already, i don't owe you an explanation!' she screamed. Jide stood up, an angry grimace on his face, he shook his head and headed for his car. 'have a wonderful day at work today, because i definitely will!' Daisy called out to him in mockery. And with a smug feeling, she plunged into the water again. This is just the beginning! she thought. ******* Jide drove into the office complex at about 8am, he had fumed and cursed angrily at defaulters on his way. Even now, he was still angry he ignored the greetings of people he met and marched straight to his office. 'anything for me yet' he asked his secretary soon as he stepped into her office that adjoined his. 'morning sir' she said standing up. 'so...' Jide asked impatiently 'No incoming invoice yet but your father requested your presence soon as you come' 'he's in already' Jide simply said and matched on to his office. Seconds later he thrust his head through the door. 'and get me something to eat' he barked and banged the door. 'yes sir' Dorothy replied. She had been making to sit when his order came. She came out of her desk now and made for the door, contemplating what she would get her boss for breakfast. Before now all she had bothered about was getting his lunch, but since this week had began, he'd kept asking breakfast from her. She wondered what could possibly go for breakfast in an office. It wasn't a secret that her boss and the American wife he had wedded that Saturday were not in good terms. Infact she could confidently attest to the fact that her boss was still seeing his former girlfriend. Courtesy of the calls she received from her on his behalf. If anyone asked her, Grace was very okay, atleast she occupied a respectable position at a media outfit, but she wondered why her Boss had suddenly gotten married to another woman. Poor Grace! But where had this his wife even come from?

EPISODE 32 The grapevine had it that she, whatever her name was, had been Mama's assistant overseas. And every hand pointed to mama as the brain behind the marriage. Her boss had not been very pleased to be married then and even now, she could bet he still wasn't pleased. Oh well, it was the life of the rich, and they had funny ways of living it. Her boss wasn't the type to give in to gossip and frivolous talk, she sure stood at a risk of running into problems with him if he knew she had been supplying the grapevine tiny details about him. since she didn't want to lose her job, the best thing to do now, was to provide food for him and then start minding her own business. 'where are you headed with your head in the clouds?' Ade asked startling her. He was eyeing her with a flirtatious grin now. 'goodmorning Mr. Ade, am off to get...' 'Its okay, i trust you know where you're going' Ade said uninterested. 'sure' Dorothy replied and made to leave. 'and is he around, your boss?' he asked. 'yeah' she replied making to leave again, but Ade held her hand now. 'you are yet to give me a suitable feedback on my proposal' he said softly. 'with all due respect sir, this is an office and...' she was saying, gently pulling her arms from his hold. 'that's okay' Ade said, slightly irritated and loosen his hold. He didn't care much for low class chicks anyways, he had class and they came in only as alternative. Soon he was waltzing away, not a glance back at her. Dorothy looked scornfully at the retreating figure of Ade, hissed and rolled eye. 'ashawo lo omo' she cursed under her breath and continued her journey. ****** 'hey man, whats up!' Ade said soon as he stepped into Jide's office. Jide didn't look up from the document he was perusing, and didn't act like he'd heard someone speak. 'come on, don't give me that, i only came to say hi' Ade pushed further. Jide hit his desk in anger then. 'I would count it a favor if you just left' he said between clenched teeth. 'calm down dude, am not here for a fight or something' 'your presence alone is repulsive, it makes me feel like hitting the life out of you, so please just leave my office' jide shouted angrily. 'was there something i did?' Ade asked feigning innocence 'i just came to ask if we should expect you at the club tomorrow, or like last week that you...' 'clubbing is the last thing on my mind now!' Jide screamed in exasperation. How was he going to shake Ade off! He wondered in anger. 'relax man, the boys put me to it, i don't feel like seeing you either' Ade replied in disgust. 'good! Then be gone' Jide shouted pointing at the door. 'not after you calm down man!' Ade retorted. What was wrong with the f.ool of man, he thought. He wasn't the only one with dislike issues here! Jide stood up and made for the door, there was no reasoning with the irritating animal. The day when he would get his was so around the corner! he thought angrily. Ade sighed at the retreating figure of Jide and grinned as he banged the door. He was not the least shaken or remorseful, anything he could to get back at Jide was perfect. Their feud dated back to their university days, and even though Ade was sure Jide wasn't aware of it, he still held the grudges nonetheless. He hated Jide's gut, hated the fact that the he was arrogant and yet got away with it. Acting like a spoilt brat everytime, because he was rich and famous in the business scene. While people like him had to struggle for everything - money, status, position, attention and even love. Yes love! That was the bane of contention here. Jide had gotten the girl Ade had loved back then in school, even though now, everyone had splitted ways and moved on, Ade still nursed his defeat. The girl had been attracted to his jide's wealth, and Jide had capitalized on it even though he had known that he (Ade) was interested. It shouldn't matter anymore to him because he was not unto the girl anymore, he bedded more classy chicks now. It was simply a matter of hitting Jide with a dose of his own medicine. He'd totally forgotten about the pretty woman whose wedding he had immensely contributed in. The woman he had had no qualms whatsoever, if she had been forced upon him, and the woman who he'd pleaded with Jide to pretend liking at the wedding then. But now he had realised that she was the perfect bait. Yes, he hadn't given it much thought then because Jide hadn't accepted her, but now, judging by his sudden jealous and protective tendency towards her, he was sure Jide was finally falling. Therefore What Grace had been shrewd enough to notice and wave when he had made advances towards her then, he hoped Daisy would gladly play into. Grace was more like a buddy to him now, too bad, she hadn't made it down the aisle with Jide, not that he cared who married who anyways, It was just a game of little revenge, nothing more 'nothing more' Ade said aloud now, standing up from Jide's desk where he had unconsciously sat during all that musing down memory lane. 'watch out, am coming for you' Ade said to the thin air, looked around the moderately furnished office, adjusted his tie and blew off the imaginary dust from his shoulders, then waltzed out of Jide's office. When Jide left his office, he headed straight to his father's. It was better to get all the blows today had to offer, he thought. After that wedding incidence, things became far from being cordial between him and his dad, infact it wasn't only their relationship that had been affected, everyone in his family steered clear from him, and if Jide had glowed in it before, he didn't anymore, infact it added to his pains. Because ever since he started craving for a family with Daisy, the cravings for his natural family doubled too. As he walked down to his father's office, which he had rarely entered the past few months, he longed for forgiveness from him for he too was willing to forgive and let go even his grandmother for their interfering acts. 'goodmorning dad' Jide said soon as he stepped into his father's office. 'morning' his father said without taking his attention from the newspaper he was reading. 'you sent for me' Jide said when his father didn't say more. 'yeah' he replied, flipping to another page of the paper 'your grandma sent in some items, am sure you know what else to do' he completed, his attention still on the paper. 'and she couldn't call me herself' Jide replied, a hint of rejection in his tone. That made his father raise his brows in surprise and peer at Jide from the top of the paper he held. But it happened in a flash, even Jide hadn't noticed. 'okay' Jide sighed and headed out, stopping momentarily when he got to the door and glanced back at the still nonchalant stance of his father. When the door to his office closed, Mr. Olukoya dropped the paper he had so much been engrossed with and stared at the door which his son had just shut. It hurt him that his first son had drifted away from him, now he understood why Jide had reacted the way he did and he no longer felt anger towards him. If anything, he wanted to get back to their former mutual relationship. Even though they hadn't been on a very close level then, atleast they weren't this distanced. Right now, he could only wish for his son's love and forgiveness, but he wasn't going to push it, if there was anybody who had pride, arrogance and ego in one make up, then that person was Jide, the very child who had taken after him in these traits. Worst still, his was of a modern dimension, they didn't bend easily. Sighing once more in resignation, Mr. Olukoya went into the business of the day.

I MADE A MISTAKE. Here it is EPISODE 33 'you feeling the music!' Brenda screamed excitedly over the deafening sound of the music. The glass she held protested the careless wave of the hand holding it up high and a drop of its content hit the table where Daisy and Brenda sat. But Brenda was far from caring. Daisy smiled nervously at her friend, her eyes darting around the dimly lit and suffocating club house for the upteenth time. Her mind telling her that she had no business here whatsoever. It wasn't like she was a novice at this things, its just that Mama had weaned her out of the habit, courtesy of the weekends she'd always spent with her back then in Boston, now Daisy felt like a square in a peg hole. 'please, be lively for a sec! This is not a mourning house or something!' Brenda scolded dropping the glass of wine on the table. Her friends lack-lustre mood was really irritating her. 'am lively' Daisy frowned and drained the content of her cup, settling it down, she smiled another weak attempt at bravery. All her initial excitement obviously, was fast draining 'okay! I know just what you need to get into the mood' Brenda said excitedly, stood up and danced towards the bar. Daisy eyes trailed her friend's move till the bodies of dancers few steps away, shielded her. Then she shifted her attention to the smirn-off ice on their table. 'oh well' she said resignedly, and poured herself another glass full. Her nurse instinct prompted her on the dangers inherent in over indulging, but Daisy ignored it, she desperately needed something to shake her off this depressing mood that annoyed her so. Had she totally lost the sense of fun? She wondered angrily. Minutes later Daisy's gaze was on Brenda, she stood with one hand on her waist, the other brandishing a bottle of Amarula wine, her pose like that of a Model and she was smiling confidently at Daisy. Daisy returned the smile. 'luck has finally caught up with us!' she screamed still on that pose. 'Some handsome dude, who's being to Theresa's school for the gent, bought me this so effortless, and he promised more from where this came from!' she completed slumping into her seat. Daisy smiled, dressed like that, she knew Brenda could just as well call it a walk over to obtain whatever she wanted from this guys ogling at them ever since. She personally wasn't interested in playing charming on them. Why? She was unhappily married to the man of her dreams, and she'd rather deal with him than anyother unnamed guy even if he didn't seem to appreciate her love. 'so you gonna snap out of it or what?' Brenda asked while she busied with un-capping the wine. 'give me just a little more time' Daisy replied smiling. Pop! The cap flew open and the wine bubbled out. Daisy clapped now and Brenda poured some into their cups, happy that her friend was finally warming up. Just then Iyanya's 'your waist' track filtered into the air and the atmosphere changed, previous dancer shifted into another gear of dance step, while those seated rushed to the dance floor to go begin the business of waste shaking. 'that dee jay is killing me!' Brenda screamed excitedly. 'Hurry up with the drink, lets go strut our stuff, and teach them dude the real deal!' Daisy nodded and smiled, she wasn't a big fan of Nigerian music, but with hit track like this, she really didn't have other choices! She wriggled her legs to the rhythm now. If Brenda wanted her to dance, then dance she would. All she needed was a push, hopefully this would do the trick. Daisy thought and drank generously from her wine. The girls chattered on and on for the next couple of minutes, gearing up for the imminent dance, when a male form towered over their table. 'what's the probability of meeting two lovely ladies on a lovely Friday at Ojez night club?' the voice patronized. Their heads raised to see a guy smiling broadly at them. One face registered recognition, the other sized the man from feet to head, before putting on a disgusted and bored look. 'hi' Daisy said smiling. 'hello, tis a surprise to meet you here' the male replied. 'you too, uhm...uhm' she was grappling with his name. 'Ade' the guy supplied. 'yeah Mr. Ade Daisy said grinning foolishly, she hadn't actually known his name, but she sure knew who he was. 'I see you girls are having a great time' Ade said, his attention directed at Brenda. 'Yeah, surprisingly we are' Daisy said and drained the wine from her cup. 'yeah a great time we had, till you appeared' Brenda said drily. 'do you know this dude, Daisy?' she asked, not the least taken in by his pleasantry, irritation was what best described how she felt at the moment. 'yeah...' a belch '...sorry' a giggle 'he is...no...was...the groom's man' Daisy completed. The wine was starting to take its toll on her. 'whatever' Brenda replied waving her hands. 'so can i join you girls?' Ade queried 'sure...' 'not a chance!' Brenda cut Daisy short. 'Its a table for two, guys ain't welcomed' 'all guys or this guy?' Ade replied 'Don't matter' Brenda countered. 'maybe for Daisy here, but for you...' 'am perfect! Besides...' Brenda sized him up again '... you're not my kind of guy, so eva-po-rate!' she completed cutting Ade off. Ade was far from backing down, infact, he was excited by her attitude, he was one to hit on, sassy, spoilt and arrogant females, and this female here sure reeled of it! Her intonation and kit-up was another, he loved the 'wild' classyness spelling all over her. obviously, she had no idea how irritating and obstinate he could be. He smiled. 'I could try match up' He challenged further. 'we ain't in a biz of match making here' 'I still don't mind' 'Don't hurt yourself over trying, cos you ain't getting it dude' 'a trail will convince you!' Ade continued, standing there confidently like that was his only care in the world. 'i dont even give trails for convincing' 'too bad, Cos you missing out sweet girl' Ade said smiling. This was his kind of chick, he thought excitedly. 'o please! Don't call me sweet, cos i ain't' 'That's better, cos i love them bitter girls' 'okay! Its official' Brenda shouted banging the table. '...you are a big pain in the ar.se'. Giving him a scornful look she stood up. 'and be gone before i return! If you want no trouble!' she completed, hissed and walked away her head raised high in pride. 'trouble is my middle name' Ade chuckled to himself. Then turned his attention to the foolishly smiling Daisy. Daisy had followed the verbal war between them in amusement, downing more and more of the wine, her mind was in a haze now and her body felt weak, the loud music was doing wonders to her nerves and hitting unrelently at her head. Daisy couldn't tell how she felt at the moment. 'your friend?' Ade asked coming to sit at the just vacated chair. She was obviously drunk, he thought. 'yeah...' Daisy giggled '...don't let her attitude get to you' a wave of her hand, 'she gets like this when she wanna be on the defensive' she completed, a funny smile playing on her face then made to pour another drink for herself. 'don't you think you've had that enough?' Ade asked. 'have I?' Daisy asked foolishly and paused 'just wanted to kill this nervousness' she shrugged and continued with the wine. 'besides i love its taste' she blurted, then drank a volume, bringing down the cup to smile foolis.hly again at Ade. Ade smiled back. He couldn't possibly stop a grown woman from indulging herself, now could he? 'Jide didn't come?' he asked casually. The question immediately changed her countenance, to be replaced with a forlorn look. She twisted her lips and dropped the wine, her mind momentarily flashed back to the note she had dropped on the dining before leaving that evening. Her eyes scanned the place for a clock, but saw none. Who would place a clock in a club? She wondered drily. Daisy sighed, it became clear to her now what she felt. Pain. She exhaled deeply, her face betraying how she felt inside. Ade noticed her changed expression, and found himself pitying her inspite of himself. Here was a woman who very well loved his brash friend. But here she was, probably doing this to spite Jide, or to prove a point to herself or satisfy her friend's whim. He wasn't sure which. 'what's her name?' he asked wanting to change the topic. 'didn't get that...' 'her name, your friend who just left...' he was repeating when. 'This is where you've been? couldn't you tame your flirtatious nature even for a while!' a female voice shouted angrily. They both looked up to see a lady, standing by their table, visibly angry with hands on her hips. Lady in red! Daisy's antenna picked. Her elusive brain could never ever forget this particular person! 'Grace am so sorry, i sighted some friends and decided to come say hi' Ade said standing up.

EPISODE 34 But Grace wasn't listening, her attention was now focused on the lady seating there and staring at her with a forlorn look. She damn well knew who she was! And God, she'd so wanted this day to come! She gave a wicked grin. 'And this is the friend i presume' she asked bitterly her gaze locked on Daisy. 'uhm...yeah, I will be with you a while' Ade said gently shoving her away, the awkward situation of their meeting suddenly dawning on him. 'not so fast' Grace said shifting away from Ade 'I would love to say hi too' 'I don't think its...' 'don't even interfere in this, go look for another chick or something' Grace said curtly 'I've got this covered' she completed, her attention back on Daisy. 'hello home-wrecker' she called bitterly and moved towards Daisy. 'Really Grace lets go now' Ade tried to intervene. 'are you not going to say hi to me atleast'. Grace continued unpreturbed. Daisy drained her cup dazed. Meeting the 'lady on red' was the last thing she had ever expected would happen. Unfortunately She never functioned well in surprise meetings. Her nerves were jumbled up, and her body felt weak. She wasn't sure if she could even stand. incase a fight erupted or something. 'Say something to me, you bit.ch! Have you lost all the boldness you once had? Weren't you the one who came from God knows where to reap where you did not sow!' Grace almost screamed, drawing attention to their table. 'Grace please behave! you are drawing attention' Ade said moving towards her to calm or pull her away, whichever would suffice. He knew what she was capable of and sure didn't like it. 'let me alone Ade! girls like this need to be taught a lesson' Grace barked shrugging out of Ade restraining hold. 'bit.ch!...' she continued, 'Why are you here alone, where is the husband you came all the way from the states to steal? Or what? You came alone seeking for another poor girl you would render useless? some man who would fall for you disgusting charm? But I will make sure i tear out your face, as a warning to your type and a souvenir for the weakling, Jide, who foolishly allowed himself to be deceived by snakes like you. Omo ibo oshi! That's how you all go about as who.res putting love portion in men's food, desperate set of ladies! wolves in sheep clothing! pretending innocence all over the place, but i tell you, you don't fool me one bit, i know exactly about your type. . .' On and on Grace lashed out at Daisy, the scene was a crazy one, Ade was trying in futility to pull the bent Grace from doing more than just talk to Daisy, while Daisy cowered backwards in her chair, trying to flee away from the woman screaming at the top of her voice. If Ade had not wanted scandal, he was far from getting his wish because almost all attention were directed at them now. Some faces held scorn and disgust, others held amusement, yet others held disinterest, while some didn't even turn to them. Those who knew the screaming lady, weren't surprised at usual act. The music hadn't ceased, but the ambience had changed. The scenario caught Brenda's attention where she had been flirting with the Amarula gentleman. Soon, she was hurrying to the scene of the trio. '...Jide was mine alone before you bloody brought your stinking self to...' Grace was still lashing. 'hey! Hey! Hey! What's going on here?' Brenda shouted, pulling Grace successfully away from her friend. 'what the hell is going on?' she asked again, her eyes darting from one to the other. No response. Grace was heaving in anger, a wild flush on her face. Ade stood motionless his hands on his forehead, while his eyes scanned the spectators. He had a strong feeling that his nightmare was far from over. With the little he'd experienced of the lady on dread-lock over there, he could strongly bet that all was far from over. Daisy on her part, was trying hard to subdue the tears that threatened to spill any moment. Seconds which felt like an hour passed, and Brenda was yet to understand what had happened, who this lady was and why her friend was in such a pathetic state. 'do you have a knack for causing trouble wherever you go?' she directed her question at Ade. 'and for the love of Pete! Will someone tell me what happened and who this...' she eyed Grace waving her fingers at her before continuing '...this whatever is?' 'and who the hell are you?' Grace eyed Brenda bouncing back. 'I am a friend of Daisy, now who are you?' 'you're the friend to this bit.ch over here?' 'hey watch your tongue, before i watch it for you!' Brenda said pushing Grace slightly backwards. 'who the hell is she Dee?' she faced Daisy. 'Jide's ex' Daisy said suprisingly finding her voice. 'a what? Did you just say an ex! More like the loser at the end!' she turned to Grace 'Now why were you tripping all over my friend?' 'both of you are the damn losers here!' Grace countered 'and your friend had it coming like ever since!' 'Grace fi oro le!' (Grace leave talk alone) Ade shouted shaking his head and headed for the seat he'd just vacated. 'no way! i can take up this bit.ch anywhere!' 'let me see you do so, bloody yorubas, running their Sh.it everywhere!' Brenda shot back 'and you're what? Her bodyguard?' 'aren't you ashamed of yourself, fighting a lost cause, he chose her not you, live with the pain bit.ch' 'not after I've shown her a piece of my mind!' 'then what? You still remain the loser you definitely are!' 'atleast I'd show her how losers behave!' 'then why don't you pick on someone your own size' 'you're a walk over for me!' 'let me see how you'd walk over me!' 'I want to go home!' Daisy screamed now, interrupting the drama. She made to stand but staggered back, Ade instantly stood up to support her. 'we are not done here! So you'd better seat tight' Grace directed at Daisy. 'Dee, so you'd better stay and enjoy how this show unfolds' 'The show would be you screaming all over this floor as i rip at your hair!' Grace said. Brenda shoved her violently 'then let the action begin!' she said. Grace got back her composure and lurched towards Brenda for a fight, however some men were already at the sides of the wild-cat ladies threatening hail and brimstone on eachother. 'please take me home' Daisy said softly to Ade who held on to her as he watched the unfolding drama helplessly. Soon, they left unnoticed by the excited crowd of onlookers and peace makers. As they made their way towards the exit, Daisy could still hear their shouts and barks. What could they possibly say was the reason why they were fighting? She wondered resignedly. Ade was infinitely glad that he was leaving the scene and club for good. A glance at his watch revealed the time to be one in the morning and this Over zealous and hormonal ladies, were fighting their heads out! The reason for their brawl was staggering away. 'women!' he cursed under his breath. *******

Thanks @blessedgirl good night.

EPISODE 35 An unusual noise roused Jide. Waking up, he discovered that he had slept off on the couch. He peered at the clock, the time was 2:10am. He noticed the television was on, and a football match was going on. Why had he slept off on a couch? Jide wondered momentarily. Then Slowly it started registering - The note he'd seen on the dining, the talk with Adamu on who she'd left with and his angry mood ever since. He had probably slept off while ruminating over this new attitude of Daisy. He concluded. The sound he suspected roused him earlier on wafted in again, Jide listened closely, it sounded like a car. A car! He exclaimed in his mind and rushed to the door, opening it just in time to see Ade supporting his wife out from his car and towards the house while she staggered pathetically. Jide stood there speechless. it wasn't just the fact that his wife looked drunk and out of touch, but also the fact that she was being escorted by Ade of all people! That made him so. What had gone wrong? He wondered. 'No need to hold me, i can walk for myself!' Jide heard Daisy say, still he stood at the door and waited the approaching figures. 'you are far too kind, Mr. Ade, but really i've got this' Daisy protested again, her steps however, didn't show that she could stand much less walk on her own. 'hey hubby! She called excitedly as they stood now facing Jide, but Jide made no move whatsoever. 'hi' Ade said, a flustered look on his face. He would try be diplomatic and nothing else if he wanted to leave in one peace, Ade thought. What would you expect from a husband whose wife was coming home stark drunk and being supported by the one man you despised? He wondered and put up a complacent smile. 'where are the both of you coming from?' Jide asked, rather calmly. Hands akimbo and still obstructing the way. He sighted Adamu just then, entering his quarters, obviously after getting a fill of Daisy and her stupidity. Jide thought angrily. 'please just let us in, i can explain after that' Ade said trying hard to support himself and the staggering Daisy. 'no way am gonna let you inside here!' Jide almost shouted. 'okay, i get it, but atleast get her inside' he pleaded. 'you both can get into another fight, but let me go for my juice, room, whatever' Daisy blabbed. Twirling all the while, soon she started struggling free from Ade's hold. 'please take her' Ade pleaded, not sure he could hold on anylonger. Jide sighed and lay hold the skwirming Daisy from Ade. With an angry look he said: 'goodnight Ade!' led her in and banged the door. Ade stood there a while, staring blankly at the door. What had he expected? An invitation inside? An appreciation for a job well done? A pat on the back? 'Oh well' he scoffed, anyone who didn't know Jide well, or their history together would have picked offences. But not him. He was overtly glad to see the end of one the long and scandalous night he had ever experienced. Shrugging in resignation, he made for his car. And soon he was driving in full speed out of the estate where Jide and Daisy lived. Back In the parlour, Jide was trying hard to control Daisy, she had suddenly become aggressive and wanting him not to hold or support her. 'am not drunk, am fine! Let me alone!' she screamed 'stay still you f.ool, let me help your pitiable self to your room' Jide cursed. This was the supposed wife of his who had left a note that simply read 'gone clubbing!' on the dining for him when he returned from work around six! Now here she was totally drunk, brought home by an annoying friend of his and smelled of smoke and alcohol! Yet instead of feeling mortified, remorseful or something, she was acting up and trying to push him away! 'let go of me, go and hold the lady in red, leave me alone!' Daisy screamed on and on like a mad cat, then with all the strength she could muster, pushed Jide away. It had however resulted into her pushing herself away as she came tumbling down, but fortunately landed on a close settee. 'finally!' she said and broke into fits of hysteric laugh. She calmed down later and stared blankly at Jide. Jide stood, watching all the dramatics Daisy was displaying. She was on a fiery red mini gown that tightly hugged her figures, her hair was disheveled and a red earring dangled from one of her ears, the other probably came off somewhere. She was staring blankly at him now. 'oh Jide man of my dreams, your lady in red. . .nearly beat me black and blue' Daisy blurted, laughing hysterically again between sentences. Jide still stood staring at her, he couldn't make out who was the lady on red she kept referring to. Because the only one on red here was her. Daisy tried to sit up then but fell back onto the settee, she laughed and rolled her hand lazily in the air, then let it fall back, giggling in the process. Jide fell on her side now, a concerned look on his face. His anger fast dissipating and replaced with amusement. 'let me take you to your room, you need to rest...' 'i don't wanna sleep' Daisy protested, then brought her hand on the face peering at her and gently caressed it, her fingers lingered on his lips. She smiled then, 'this eyes...' she whispered, 'they attracted and built this love i feel for you over the years...' she said, her face holding a sober and pained look, then she laughed, 'this lips...this lips' she drawled and slowly drew towards him, as if to kiss him. Jide felt his heart beat stop. Suddenly, Daisy pushed him away and giggled hysterically, leaning back. 'you got a long way to go!' she croaked. Jide stood up and shook his head watching her laugh and carelessly swinging her hands. 'Got you!' she blurted still laughing. 'I need...' she said and stopped laughing abruptly. She concentrated on Jide with the look of someone trying hard to remember something. 'yes!' she said, her eyes sparkled too. 'yes! I need juice...yes juice'. Then she made to stand up but Jide was by her side pulling her back. 'I'll get it' he said and hurried to the kitchen, coming out later to hear her singing out of key to the chorus of Chris de Burgh's 'lady in red'. He placed the glass of juice on a side table and drew it closer to her, his face holding an amused grin all through. This wife of his was something else! he thought. Daisy stopped singing then and made to seat up, but Jide was on her side in a flash and helped her up, soon she was draining the content, once through, she hit the glass carelessly on the table, Jide quickly moved the table out of way so she wouldn't cause any more damage. It was a miracle the cup didn't shatter to pieces. He thought. 'thank you!' Daisy quipped excitedly like a satisfied child and leaned back on the settee. Her gaze slowly turned on Jide who was bending over her, her expression suddenly turned sober. She looked so different, so innocent, more like . . . Breathtaking! Jide thought. Those eyes that had haunted his dreams were looking straight at him now. He saw the pain and hurt in their depths, and felt his heart melt, they also tore at his heart, Jide realised then, that he was probably the one who put them, he felt a sudden urge to make them smile once again. 'am sorry Daisy...' he was saying when Daisy giggled again and made to stand up. Jide rolled his eyes in resignation and moved to stand in front of her, then tried to pull her down but she resisted. 'no no, i want to go my room' she cried. 'okay' Jide said and stood upright. Daisy thrust out her left hand and smiled. 'take me to my room then' she said. Jide took the offered hand and pulled her up effortlessly, thinking that she was getting sober, only for her to begin another number of hers. This time she was humming loudly and un-rhythmically to the chorus of 'Apologise' by Timbaland. Jide sighed as he half dragged and half carried his drunk wife to her room, wondering what song she was humming to this time. Daisy however, did not relent on her musical rendition as she staggered helplessly all the way to her room. Jide sighed again and wondered where Daisy pulls out all this songs. Not that he knew exactly what this particular one was about or who sang it. And so man and wife staggered in the hallway towards Daisy's room, but when they got infront of her room, the door was locked and Daisy could not tell where the key was so Jide led her to this study instead and lay her on his bed. He pulled out her heeled shoes, covered her with a blanket, switched off the lights, quietly closed the door of his study and made for the parlour. Daisy however had not stopped singing when he left. As he passed her room, he wondered why she would lock her door and where she had misplaced her keys. A funny character she was. Jide concluded and continued on his way, thanking God that she was safe atleast. 'so much for getting married' he scoffed, as he lay down to sleep on the settee after putting off the television. *****

EPISODE 36 Daisy's eyes slowly fluttered open, she felt pain diffuse all over her body that instant while her head pounded uncontrollably, her eyes also felt like they would pull off their sockets if she made the slightest move. But she had to get up. A sickening sensation of throwing up assailed her senses, and she couldn't ignore it even if her body threatened to dislodge. Clutching her pounding fore head, Daisy slowly struggled up, noticing then that the bed she was rising from didn't look or smell like hers. She glanced frantically around the room, as if to confirm that she wasn't in her elements. She noticed then, some sheets of paper lying about and the fact that there was no sign of her flower vase or the flower printed wallpaper that hung conspicuously over her bed. Daisy looked up again to verify that the wall paper wasn't indeed there. But offcourse it wasn't. Turning around, she collided into the rack containing voluminous and dull-coloured books she didn't think any serious person would read. But that was her thoughts anyways for she wasn't your normal 'bookish' type. The nauseous feeling of throwing up came stronger now, glancing around she searched for a toilet, bucket, nylon, anything. Why wasn't she in her room and on her bed anyways! She thought, alarmed. Her wandering eyes soon sighted a door opening, and without any delay she hurried towards it feeling dizzy even as walked. Thankfully, she was lucky. Minutes later, Daisy resurfaced, droplets of water dripping down her face while her right hand held on to her forehead like it would drop if she ever let go. Daisy swooned momentarily and felt like she would hit the floor any moment, she staggered back to the bed and lay down ever slowly on it, noticing then that she wasn't on her nightwear. At first she couldn't grasp the import of it but gradually, her elusive brain kicked up and soon all the events of yesterday played on bits by bits. ****** Jide came out of the kitchen holding a tea cup steaming with smoke, he walked towards the dining and fixed himself tea, then carried it with the bread and headed for the parlour. Biting into his bread, he glanced at the clock again, the time was quarter to ten. His glance shifted to the curtain leading to the hallway, yet there was no movement. He cursed silently and shook his head. It was finally turning out to be another eventful Saturday, he thought. The Daisy he knew wouldn't still be in bed by now. It goes to show that she had gulped down large quantity of whatever it was they drank. Ever since he roused, he'd gone to check on her, but each time, she was still fast asleep. Not knowing what else to do, he'd decided to fix the only breakfast he could: Tea. Well don't blame him, he'd had a pampered childhood regardless of his mother's death, all thanks to his grandmother. Then again, Daisy's new behaviour was turning out to be strange and scary, yes scary! He could still bet his two cents that that friend of hers was master mind. The probably the best time was to involve Mama, since she was the only one she (Daisy) listened to. Much as he tried to ignore her and carry on with his former behaviour, he just couldn't. Instead he wanted his life back, exactly the way he'd been with his family, added to the new and...well, 'cherished' adjustment, Daisy. Jide mind wandered slowly to the drama of last night, his mind rested on how his heart had raced when she had advanced to kiss him or something, a smile played up on his face then, when he remembered how it ended. 'funny Sh.i.t' Jide muttered amused and sipped his tea. A noise outside filtered in just then interrupting his reverie. Shaking his head ruefully, Jide decided to seat it out. What was it about noises this days? He wondered. Then, it had been a noise heralding Daisy's arrogant friend; last night it heralded the homecoming of his drunk wife, now another! Who knows what this particular noise would lead in. Not that he wanted to see anyone anyway. Jide didn't have to step out to see who the 'unwelcome' caller, for soon he heard a knock, and before he could stand up or make a sound, the caller helped him or herself in. Standing a few inch away from the door and clutching a red purse was Ade. Jide stared with disbelief at this very unwelcomed intruder! Didn't he ever know when he was needed? 'hello buddy' Ade said casually and advanced. 'I know, I know, you didn't expect me' he said drily and winked at Jide 'but i got every reason to be here now, so lets try tolerate eachother' he completed and slumped into the settee directly opposite Jide. Jide stared at him with a look of hate and surprise and kept at it without the slightest blink or movement. 'okay! that eyes can sure render me dead if it were a gun' Ade quipped in breaking the ice that was pervasive in the room. 'i don't even need a gun to rid off you' Jide more like whispered between clenched teeth. Then standing up in a flash, he shouted. 'what the hell are you doing here!' Ade stood up then and put forward the purse he had come with. 'here, your wife's companion' he said grinning. 'and where did you get that?' Jide said angrily snatching the bag from him. 'you need a soothsayer to tell you?' he scoffed 'My place offcourse!' he completed and shrugged, 'what do...' But before he could say more, two hands clutched at his collar, snuffing the breath out of him. Like a flash, Ade couldn't believe he was gasping for air, his assailant, Jide. 'like man, let go off me!' he cried, the words choking him. 'you've had this coming like ever since!' Jide said, his hands holding on tightly. 'i was kid..di..ng' Ade managed to say as he struggled to yank out the hands causing him so much pain. 'did you say what?' Jide said, his veins bulging and defining the anger he felt inside. 'pl..ea..se..' Ade croaked. Before he could say more, he saw himself tumbling down, luckily unto the settee he'd previously sat on. Ade coughed pathetically, rubbing his aching neck. 'that would teach you a lesson or two!' Jide cursed pointing at him. 'is that all you've got' Ade challenged, while trying to stand up. 'maybe not!' Jide barked and lurched after him. Just then Daisy surfaced diverting attention to herself. She looked from one man to the other, her hand still on her aching head. It was obviously their noise that had filtered into Jide's study then. She thought. Without a second glance their way. She hurried in to the kitchen for she was seriously dying of thirst. When she resurfaced, things seem calmer in the parlour, Ade sat nursing his aching neck, his face contorted with pain and anger while Jide pranced about the parlour, his face literally burning red. Daisy felt quite better now but suddenly became aware of how she was dressed, she felt shy and mortified. 'uhm...my...door...is...locked and...I'd...like to freshen up or something' she stuttered feeling foolis.h too. Jide shook his head in angry abandon and shot her a deadly look. Daisy immediately felt that old fear creeping in. 'Are you not sober enough to know where you kept your keys?' Jide barked. Shaken slightly by his tone she shook her head vigorously. 'I...was...with...it...in...my...purse..at...at' 'At his house!' Jide cut in angrily. Daisy glanced from one man to the other in confusion. What house? She thought. 'Don't be so st.upid Jide!' Ade cut in angrily and slowly stood up 'I was kidding about that' 'I only went to the club with Bree and then some lady came...' 'That lady was Grace' Ade cut in 'and really! am tired of your attitude' he shouted at Jide. 'then stay away!' Jide countered facing him squarely, ready for another round of fist flexing if it eventually got to that. '...that lady was all over me...Then Bree came, a fight...and...he..he took me home, i must have forgotten my purse somewhere...' Daisy blabbed on, oblivious to the brewing fight. She was bent on figuring where she'd left her key so as to get out of this dress that oozed badly. Jide shot Daisy another angry look. 'isnt that the purse of yours?' he barked pointing at it. Daisy saw the 'piece of trouble' then seating calmly on a settee and immediately went over, grabbed it and made for her room. Stopping briskly to mutter a 'thank you' to Ade before she disappeared. She remembered clearly all that had transpired between them yesterday. 'you see? some people know how to appreciate kindness when they see one' Ade said after she left, staring angrily at Jide. 'you should consider it kindness, that i didn't draw blood from your despicable lips' he spat back moving towards Ade. Ade shifted back then, holding up his two hands in an effort to restrain him. 'I get it! Am leaving, it's your territory, so you can act up' he said and started walking away. 'yeah! Get the mess outta my house!' Jide shouted at his retreating figure. Once Ade left, Jide kicked a stool and slumped unto the settee. He hadn't understood a thing of what Daisy or Ade had said. All he'd deciphered was some ramblings about Grace, club and Some female named Bree or whatever. It was plain clear that he'd have to take charge else he would be the loser at the end of the game this people were playing. Mama really had to call her pet to order else he'd be forced to take actions! What actions? He asked himself. Whatever action there is to be done, He answered. But what he so wanted was a chance to correct his mistakes, be happy for once and get his life back. How hard could that be? Jide wondered resignedly. ******

Stil waitin *sigh*

I ran out of data oo. I am very sorry.so so sorry. Thank you all for your patience EPISODE 37 ***** 'Daisy, Daisy are you asleep?' Jide called softly while he knocked lightly on Daisy's door. He'd been in the parlour all day waiting for her to surface from where she'd crept into for over three hours now. Wasn't she like hungry or something? 'Cos If she wasn't, he was. He'd practically eaten nothing all day. You didn't call a meal of tea and bread, food, now did you? He wondered. 'Daisy...' he repeated still knocking, he didn't want to barge in on her, neither did he think her door would be unlocked, for she had this knack for locking doors. Food was not the only reason he stood here, he was also starved of her presence all week. And Although the week had had its shortcoming, he had still looked forward to spending the Saturday with her. He would probably iron out issues with her then. He so wanted to talk with her, hear her taunt him, argue with him, fight with him, and maybe if he got lucky, he would be opportuned to wrap his hands around her. Fat luck that was. Jide concluded with a scoff. 'Please open the...' he was saying again when the door flung open and opposite him stood Daisy looking sexier than he could swear he'd ever seen her look before. Jide's heart fluttered. With his hand still caught in mid-air, Jide behold the slightly flushed and surprised Daisy as she stared blankly at him, her hands still gripping the door. She was on a nightwear whose outer robe had been discarded and what remained was a short, silky pink dress. One that would make any male hormone race uncontrollably. Thankfully, Jide thought, he was the one with all the rights to her. Legally that is. It would only be realistic if he ever managed to finally win her love and forgiveness. Not that he was planning on giving up any soon. 'hi' Jide said now, finally finding his voice. 'Jide' Daisy simply replied. 'are you feeling better now?' 'yeah...i guess' Daisy shrugged and then shot him an inquisitive look. 'can i come in atleast?' Daisy glanced around her room, hesitated, opened the door wider then stepped away from the door. Jide walked in after muttering an indistinct 'thank you', wondering why she'd looked around before obliging. He abruptly stopped in his track now, the room he just entered didn't quiet feel or look like the one he'd abandoned months ago. It looked so oddly feminine and in a enchanting way too. Flower vases were all over and a wallpaper with a larger than life flower print called out to you. On it was boldly inscribed: 'Daisies Of The Morning' He chuckled. This wife of his was something else. A glance forward revealed an endless stream of shoes on the floor close to the standing mirror, a mirror that had pimped him daily before the wedding issues. That allusion suddenly flooded back memories he wasn't comfortable with and Jide quickly waved them away and concentrated on the room survey. The wardrobe lay half opened an inch away, he could bet that they were also flooding with frivolous wears. He wondered in amusement then, how his clothings would have survived in the face of feminine invasion. Daisy on her part was glancing around her untidy room. She had been too weak to arrange it today, after yesterday's storm of searching for a perfect dress to wear. Now Jide must be seeing her as some disorganized woman. How was she to know he would come calling! 'nice room' Jide spoke turning around to face her. Daisy smiled shyly. He had gotta be kidding me! She thought hurrying to the bed. There she packed the clothes laying carelessly about and flung them towards the wardrobe, some hit the floor, and off she went gathering the errant ones and stuck them for good into the wardrobe, facing Jide with a smile, she jammed it with a back-turned leg. The wardrobe finally obeyed. There! All perfect! She thought smiling still at her husband. Jide was more than amused, he had to force himself from laughing at the whole dramatics. Her comical side was really endearing. Daisy cleared her throat then 'so you wanted what?' she asked. 'I uhm...you know, I...' Jide stutterred, while Daisy looked at him expectantly. He sighed. 'I came to talk to you Daisy' 'okay, about what?' 'can i seat down atleast?' 'sure...Yeah sure you can' Daisy replied looking around. 'Here's a seat' she said pointing at the bed stool. Jide went over and sat, while Daisy sat on the bed. 'so...' she prompted. Daisy found herself surprisingly calm and not in the least curious of what Jide had come to say. Although she had prayed for a day like this to come, when they could finally have a heart to heart talk, but now that it probably had arrived, she felt nothing. No excitement, nothing. 'so?' Daisy prompted again. Jide didn't seem forthcoming, he looked like one battling with his emotion and thoughts. 'uhm.How was yesterday?' Jide asked. Unhappy that he had settled for irrelevancies, and angry that he didn't have the courage to bring up the problem affecting him. Jide knew it was probably because of his ego or the gnawing fear within him, that had halted him. Even if he refused to admit it to himself, He knew he was Afraid of rejection and afraid of losing Daisy if he happened to say the wrong words. 'the club?' Daisy asked now. Disappointed, inspite of herself. 'yeah, the club, you know i never got to understand who the lady on red you so talked about was...you do remember, don't you?' 'I don't know for sure if i remember discussing that, but the lady i should mean would be Grace, as Ade said, your ex or maybe not...' 'offcourse she's my ex! we...' 'well' Daisy continued 'we ran into eachother and she rooted for a fight...' 'a fight! She didn't hurt you or...' Jide was saying as he moved towards her. Daisy put up a restraining hand. 'No she didn't, Brenda showed up and...' a pause 'that reminds me, I've not called her' 'Brenda is her name then?' Jide scowled and sat back. 'yeah. And I've not called her!' Daisy exclaimed searching for her phone. 'i don't really like her, don't you think she is bad company...' 'excuse me!' Daisy cut in, stopping her search to stare at him. 'I mean, since she appeared, you've been...' 'Been what? Wild! Awake! Daring! Living a life!' Daisy shouted. 'I didn't mean to upset you' Jide calmed. That was exactly what he'd been afraid of, saying the wrong word and cracking a shell. 'am sorry' he pleaded 'you have no say about my friends! considering the way you've treated me all this while, Brenda is the best thing to ever happen to me! And if it wasn't for her that...that classless girlfriend of yours would have ripped me apart yesterday, so you have no right, whatsoever to disapprove of her!' Daisy was now standing and fuming in anger. 'I don't disapprove of her, its just the way you changed since she came that...' Jide was also standing trying to calm her down. Gone was the comical Daisy of moments ago, in her place was the new Daisy that cut at his heart. 'and i still maintain that...' 'It's okay! it's okay. Brenda or whomever can remain your friend just as long as you calmed down and not get like this' Jide pleaded moving to calm her. 'don't touch me!' Daisy shrieked, curling away 'don't bloody touch me!' 'okay, okay' Jide said putting up his hands. 'Just calm down'. Daisy calmed down then, heaving in angry rhythm. What was it about him that steered so much hatred in her? She wondered. Like Brenda had pointed out, wasn't he the same Jide who she had flown over seas and oceans to love and marry, the same man whose picture was potent enough to captivate her for over six years? why had her 'red' love suddenly turned blue? These and more question raced in her mind as both stood, lost to the tick-tack of the alarm clock resting inches away. It was as if the air in the room froze in time while seconds ticked into minutes. 'am hungry' Jide blurted out suddenly. He knew it wasn't the best thing to say at the moment, but that was the best he could come up with. Saying 'sorry' would be appropriate, but he doubted if that could solve a thing, hadn't she reacted even worst to his apologies? Hunger it was then, since that had been his other reason for coming here. Daisy just shook her head and stormed out. ***** 'food!' Daisy yelled from the Dining, set the dish she held on the table, then stormed back into the kitchen. Jide roused from where he sat staring blankly at some musical video showing on Mtvbase. His mind had been in a confused state ever since the fight, and his heart was hurting deeply. Why couldn't he ever get it right? He wondered. Now in the dining, Jide sat down and stared irritably at the covered dishes before him, he didn't know what they contained and wasn't curious either. His hunger had developed wings and flew while his appetite had long left him. Daisy anger wasn't helping matters either. She was banging the dishes and pots in the kitchen, and grumbling angrily. Jide didn't need a soothsayer to tell him every words was directed and about him. Soon, she came out with a pack of juice and a glass cup, dumped it on the table and made to leave when Jide's hand caught hers. 'before you protest more, just hear me out' Jide pleaded as he rose. Daisy held still. 'am deeply sorry for the things i said about your friend, but you staying angry at me is really tearing me apart and I hate to see you this way with me. Believe me when i say so' a pause, then 'My heart is aching deeply Daisy' he said ever so slowly, like a whisper. Daisy's heart fluttered at the way he'd called her name. She looked up at him then, their eyes met. Slowly she felt her heart melting, her anger cooling, her love burning. She took down her head. She shouldn't be feeling love for him again, her heart should burn with anger, not love. Daisy started to struggle her hand free from his hold.well

EPISODE 38 'please' Jide whispered like a person begging for last breath. Daisy sighed. 'what do you want me to do?' she asked, the words almost choking her. 'sit here with me'. Inspite of herself, Daisy found herself sitting down. Then she crossed her hands on her laps and refused to look at him. Jide sat down and opened his meal, the aroma assailed him, and he found his appetite running back to him. As he dug into his meal, he found that the ache in his heart had ceased, and the joy he felt that moment was immeasurable, he was probably the happiest man on earth now, he thought. Daisy on her part sat still and refused to look up. If she'd ever doubted then that Jide was finally falling for her, then all her doubts had vanished. His words kept replaying in her mind. If he ached as much as she had, then it was okay, infact it was a dream come true.Jide the only man, whom she'd truly ever loved was finally aching for her! 'your food tastes good, I've been longing to tell you' Jide said interrupting her thought. Daisy smiled, her face still buried. 'but you're not eating...' he continued. Daisy muttered something that sounded like 'not yet hungry'. Jide only nodded and continued his meal. Daisy stole a glance at Jide & smirked. Even if he was heads over heels for her, everything wouldn't just fall perfectly in place. That would be a crime! She still wanted a pound of flesh. Yes! She could just tease him a bit more and maybe play hard to get. Then she would finally warm up to him. *****
