LONG LOST LOVE by Ewomazeal

Alexandra stepped into the cage slowly. Her big black boot noisily hitting the wooden floor. Her sword hung on her body. She paused, staring at the large crowd cheering that had come to watch her commit her first murder. Her eyes met Darryl’s. He gave her a thumb’s up, showing he was confident that she’d succeed. Alexandra nodded, slowly turning her head away. She had to do this. She would not fail him, anybody or even herself.
As she turned, she caught sight of her opponent. She frowned. She’d been looking forward to having his head cut off. She could see his teeth glitter from where he stood. He looked like he was enjoying himself. She clenched her fists, wishing she could pierce him through his helment and run the sword into his skull at that moment. She glanced back at the clang sound of the cage being heavily padlocked. She turned again to her opponent, he was now pacing along a line slowly. She could see his narrow gaze, the eyes looked familiar. But there was no time for familiarity, all she wanted was to avenge her parents’ gruesome deaths and detach the head of the murderer who was before her, and that she was determined to do in few minutes.
He snarled as he stepped forward in his heavy boots, armor and helment. The girl in front of him was too small compared to what he was expecting, he estimated her to be in her early twenties though her face was covered with a helment. He was going to manage her like that, he couldn’t wait to inhale the scent of blood again. To him there was no better feeling than that.
She began to walk towards him, she pulled out her sword.
He pulled out his.
He chuckled on seeing her sword. Whoever had given her the sword made a good choice. The sword was going to be his after he takes off her head.
They began to revolve around eachother, the distance between them gradually reducing, their swords raised high in readiness.
Alexandra held the sword with her two hands while her opponent held his with only his right hand.
Clang! She made the first strike, targetting his left shoulder; he stopped her blade with his. Then to his right side, he stopped it again.
The crowd roared, cheering them to go on.
She took an attempt at his neck but he dodged by bending down and took a backflip. She followed him and the clattering of swords continued for a while.
Unexpectedly, he made a move. As they continued clattering swords, he made to strike her left shoulder as she swiftly followed him, he quickly withdrew the sword, aiming at her left leg and slashed it; blood trickled out.
”Ahh!” Alexandra cried out in pain, as she managed to keep her stance, fighting with her sword.
He laughed within himself and followed her.
Part of the crowd booed at Alexandra and cheered, the other sighed in frustration.
”We need her head!” The continued chanting.
Alexandra was furious. How could she let him cut her? She was not fast enough to notice what he had mapped out for her. She’d made a stupid mistake. Darryl hated mistakes. It was never forgiven. She had to focus and get his head. The blurred images of her late parents popped into her head. Damn! He had to die. Alexandra did not care about her wounded leg. She was taught to be strong under any circumstance.
She was beginning to frustrate her opponent because she was relentless neither was she giving him space to initiate his own attack but she kept him on the defence for a while.
He kept on until he began to see some light. She was making her attacks with so much strength now and breathing aloud. He was sure the injury she had sustained contributed to that. He waited for the right opportunity and she made the mistake again. She was slow in launching an attack for which his neck was targetted. She had swung the sword backward horizontally and was bringing it towards his neck but he caught her before she could go far. The sword was still in the middle distance when he pressed his against her’s vertically. Their sword made the cross sign. He pressed against her with force and her sword placed horizontally was getting close to her face and nose directly. She couldn’t try remove her sword because it was either his sword strikes her forehead or her’s slashes her nose.
She struggled on, her legs far apart: the right one bent forward with her foot firmly on the ground while the left slanted backwards and resting on the tip., she was sliding back. She couldn’t care less about the pain on the leg. It had stopped bleeding.
He was still applying much force but she was able to resist him. They looked at eachother’s faces; her opponent was clenching his teeth, his eyes looked dark and evil to her lke the murderer he was.
The images reappeared. The pictures of her parents dead bodies flashed through her mind and fury could be seen in her eyes. The dark memories and her thirst for revenge began to grow, a new kind of strength began to well up in her. She began to press the sword against his face, he began to skid backwards.
Suddenly, he pushed her sword with great force and swerved to the right. They were apart once agan. His heartbeat had increased now, she was more tougher than he thought she would be.
She rushed towards him again, limping.
He miscalculated, thinking she was coming for his neckline like she did before but her target was his hand. Her sword hit its target and his little finger flew off. She made another immediate strike at the same place and the thumb was off.
That was it. His sword fell off. He stood still, angry and sightly confused. Who would have thought she would have made such an unusual dumb move? But it seemed the dumb move had worked. He grunted and made a move to pick the sword with his left hand but she was fast. She ran the sword into his left side. He groaned loudly as she took out the sword and blood gushed out. He continued to groan as he fell to his knees holding his stomach.
Her countenance suddenly changed from her determined one to that of panic. She recoginized that voice behind the helment. She had an opportunity to finish him off, Aledandra wouldn’t do it. For the first time since the fight began, she was scared. What was she scared of? She had no idea. She hoped to see his face before sapping life out of him. She had to know why his groans were familiar.
Her opponent retreated till he was at a far edge of the cage. He was angry at himself for letting a small girl inflict injuries on him. He snarled, still clutching his wounded side. He wasn’t giving up. He was not going to surrender. He was going to fight till he dies. He still had some strength in him and was good at using his left hand. He still had other skills to his advantage.
He takes a step around an imaginary circle. She steps the other way, maintaining her relationship with him.
He charges towards her with fury and launches an attack. Alexandra shields herself with her sword. She pushes him backwards.
He loses balance and slightly staggers.
She attacks, aiming for him leg.
He gets the message and swiftly dodges the attack. He turns to face her and she is ready for him, clutching her sword with both hands.
They both stand in one place, trading thrusts with their swords with lightning speeds almost impossible to follow. She had no trouble matching him. After all, he fights with one hand.
Alexandra begins losing strength. She starts to walk backwards as they continue the struggle.
He takes advantage of this and increases his speed, his attacks, fierce. He advances towards her.
Soon, Alexandra is pinned to the walls of the cage. Her opponent sees an opportunity to end the fight once and for all. He lifts up his left hand with his sword with the aim of pinning her to the wall.
Alexandra refuses to die that way. She ducks and kicks him on the leg with her right foot.
His sword gets stuck on the gates of the cage. He tries to pull it out but it refuses to come out.
At his back, Alexandra chuckled. It was time.
Surprisingly, she does not make any move to kill him. She rushes to him and takes away his helment before he could make a move.
Alexandra gasps as she reveals the identity of her enemy. He is Alexander. She stares at him confused. He is her long lost love.
Alexander taking advantage of the situation, pulls out his sword forcefully. It comes out this time. He’s glad. He quickly moves behnd her and pushes her with great force.
She becomes alert. She staggers and avoids falling.
Alexander charged toawards Alexandra. They continue to hit their swords together, hoping one would make the wrong move, while the other finishes him off.
He couldn’t continue. He was losing strength. His energy draining out of him. His defense and strikes becomes slow.
Alexander gathers strength and furiously strikes at him. She hits his left hand, which sends his sword falling to the ground.
Alexander knew this was the end.
The walls of the cage were close behind him now. Alexander continued to retreat. Alexandra continued advancing. His back touched the gates; he knew it was over. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes as he expected her to behead him. Instead of that, he heard a whisper.
”Alex!”
Did she just call my name? Alexander wondered. His eyes fluttered open.
”Who are you?” he inquired.
He was taught never to converse with an enemy on a battlefield. If the enemy started one, he had to be on guard as anything could happen. He couldn’t trust this girl one bit.
In reply to his question, Alexandra took off her helment. She raised her head to meet his eyes as her long dark hair fell past her shoulders.
”Alexandra!” he exclaimed.
’Why did you kill my parents?’ she demaned, her eyes darkening.
He ignored her question.
’You were just about to murder me.’
”Because you fuckin’ killed my parents!” she yelled at him. ’You made me an orphan!’ she gritted her teeth, gripping her sword tightly; ready to strike at any moment. ”And now you want me dead.”

’Alex, you don’t get it. I kill ’cause I was told you died. I was made to understand that the woman I was going to face today killed my Alexandra, you. I was going to kill you cause I was led into thinking that you’re her.” He paused, studying her. She’d been captivated by his story. ’We’ve been misled.”
”Who killed my parents?” she asked mildly.
’Darryl did.’ He looked at someone.
Alexandra followd his gaze. Her eyes met with Darryl’s. She could see the anger blazing in them. He was furious at her. She could understand why. She’d disobeyed his command by unmasking the enemy, not killing him and revealing her identity.
She was more bitter and angry at him. He’d been the one she desired to kill for years now, he’d been decieving her as well. If she hadn’t been attentive and listened to Alexander’s grunts, she’d have killed an innocent man, the only man she loved.
They watched as Darryl got off the seat and ordered his boys to follow him. They emerged towards the cage.
Alexandra knew death was knocking at the door. ”They’re going to kill us,” she panicked.
Alexander held her hand.
’I submitted to dying, knowng I’d get to be with you and end my meaningless life. I love you, Alexandra. I promise to protect you till I die.” He vowed.
’I feel the same way too. I’ll fight them. I’ll protect you too.” she ran her hand on his face. ’You’ve alway been in my heart. I’m sorry I hurt you.”
”You are not to blame. I hurt you too.”
They both stared at eachother. Uncertain if they were making the right decison.
The opening of the gates made them turn their heads. Darryl and his men approaching with swords.
Alexander and Alexandra turned to face eachother. They smiled. They knew they’d made the right decision. They were going to protect eachother.
She blew him a kiss.
He caught it and placed it in his chest.
They were determined to fight their enemies till they both die…

THE END….

THE THRILL (part 1) I locked the door of the goat shed, not like it was worth locking. The wood was old and mold of different shades grew from it. One kick and the door would give way. But no one would dare. No one would dare steal Ibi-orubo’s goats. I swatted a mosquito, satisfied to see the blood on my leg. Glad I killed the pesky thing. How dare it perch on me, to drink its fill? Blood is hard to come by, and I certainly have none to spare. If anything, I need some blood myself. I turn towards the house, and heave a sigh of relief. Someone has lit the kerosene lanterns. That someone was obviously my mother, I would get an earful for not lighting them on time. A chore I hate for no reason. But I was already expecting an earful. An earful for not coming out to greet my buyers properly earlier today. I walk slowly, wishing Ibi-orubo had stayed a little longer at the church meeting she had gone for, then I would have been on my bed and pretended to sleep when she came back. But my bags were packed already, for tomorrow. Tomorrow I would be paraded like a carnival, to my buyers. Paraded by girls I really don’t care to know, while my mother pretended to cry at my departure. A departure she has been looking forward to since I turned 18. Took ten years to come, ten years in which she told me to go out and search. You need a husband. Go out like your mates and get one. Had been her mantra.. Sometimes I wondered if she was going to hand me a flashlight to use for my search in the dark. I met them all, but always in the dark. Finally, I didn’t find.. but Ibi-orubo did. She came home one day, beaming like hen with twelve eggs. She whispered to father, and summoned me from my chores. You are getting married. They are coming tomorrow, for the knocking of door. You must accept them. You must not say no…. this is your last chance, you must say yes tomorrow. They came and I said yes, and they kept coming, till everything was settled. I am getting married. I didn’t ask any questions, I only peeped from my window, hoping it was not a hunch back, or an old old man, or a man with tummy bigger than that of a pregnant goat. I didn’t ask questions. Don’t drag your feet like that…. Come in and help me pack these things for tomorrow. Ibi-orubo said from the doorway. I walked past her into the living room where all kinds of cooking utensils were littered. I was supposed to be going to my buyers like a five star general in the kitchen and these were my ammunition. The pestles would be useful. I walked into my room, adjusting my wrapper while my mother called my name. I sat in my small bed, facing the door. Maybe tomorrow I would sleep on a bigger bed. If the bed was as small as mine, then I would sleep on the floor. I perceived her scent, a mixture of cam wood and Shea butter. As long as I can remember, Ibi-orubo always smelled of Shea butter. “Don’t frown your face like that. It brings bad luck” she said to me, standing in the doorway. Tomorrow, would be a happy day, you would have your own home and give me many children to bath. Come let us gather your things. Your life has just begun. As I lay on my bed, I wondered how I had to live for 28years before my life began. I had to toil in school, get a secretarial certificate, which had been useless so far. I even had to attend computer classes to learn to type with Microsoft word. And yet my life had not begun. I watched a gecko roam across my ceiling, if this was tomorrow, I would make him kill the gecko. I would make sure he stands up from his sleep and kill it. But this was not tomorrow, so I watched the gecko. Mrs Tumini Alabere. I turned the name around in my head, hating the sound of it. Why did I have to change my name. Tumini Wariso sounded so much better. One more thing I hate about my buyers. Their name….. with that, I tried to sleep. Everybody had left minutes ago, leaving him and I alone. The silence was deafening, and I concentrated on counting how many spots were on the walls. So far it might be 23 or 27, and not a word had been spoken. He was looking towards the door, and I wondered if he wanted to run out of the house. I studied his features, and wondered how many girls had turned him down before me. If I had dared to not listen to Ibi-orubo, and turned down his offer, would I have been number 23 or 27? I had looked at him from my window, those days when they came around, to see if he had any defect. But he didn’t have any that I could point out. Then I listened, to hear if he stuttered, but he spoke fluent English. Then why did his people have to pick a wife for him? I had asked myself so many times. Then Ibi-orubo told me he had studied French in a university in London, and had been to Germany and m any other countries. He is in Linguist, she had said proudly. Inwardly I laughed at the way the word rolled from her tongue…. Linguist. There must be something wrong with him…or else why would he marry a stranger? If he had read so many books, why did they have to pick a wife for him? Maybe he didn’t want to marry because he was a linguist. I should ask him that one day. But not today. Right after I ask him why he needed to learn so many languages, and why learn French in London. Wouldn’t France be a better place to learn French? Or even Togo or Benin. “Would you like to take a bath?” he asked me startling me out of my thoughts I nodded my head yes… anything to get away from the silence. Then he stood up, and motioned for me to follow him and down a corridor we went, stopping at a door, he motioned for me to go in. Everything you need would be in there he said and turned to leave hesitantly. I looked at his frame as he walked away… was that a limp I detected? Maybe that was his defect. But I wasn’t sure it was a limp. I entered the room that had everything I need, and was glad to see that the bed was large. I wouldn’t have to sleep on the floor tonight. My suitcases had been stacked by a wall, and apart from the bed and the suitcases, the room looked empty. I went to the wardrobe, and opened it. Hoping that I could learn about my husband from his clothes. The wardrobe was empty. I went to the door leading to the bathroom and opened it. It was rather large, and I looked up at the ceiling, hoping to see a gecko that he would kill, there was none. On the wall was a mirror, and a shelf under it. On it there were different kinds of feminine products. I counted three types of bar soap, only one was familiar. There was a big bottle of bathe wash, then a tube that said things about gentle fragrances and mists. It read feminine wash. I had never used a feminine wash, does it mean my husband cannot use it? Would it make him any less masculine? Three big rolls of tissue paper, all different and all unopened and one promised to be scented. Why would I need scented tissues, there was nothing nice about the uses of tissue paper in the toilet, so why does it have to be scented? I opened it, and took a sniff. The scent didn’t make any difference. Tissue paper is tissue paper and when I use the toilet, the stench would spread throughout the toilet, maybe the house…. Scented tissue or not. I would wait till he was out of the house, to use the toilet. I came out of the room an hour later, and met him seated in the living room. I had bathed, and worn a gown. I was not going to wear any of the night gowns Ibi-orubo bought for me. I also made sure I wore panties under my dress. Those old women who ranted out advices to me earlier today, would grieve at my flat disobedience. I sat down, staring at him, just yesterday I was thinking of how I would cope, and now I have a husband. Albeit one I didn’t want or need. I wondered if he expected me to cook for him. Then he stood up, and walked out of the living room. I sighed, and relaxed in the chair. He came in bearing a tray, which contained a large plate of steaming jollof rice and big chunks of meat. I wondered when he cooked the food. My mother brought us this food. Tomorrow we would go back to Lagos, then you can start cooking. He kept the tray down, and I noticed two spoons. I am supposed to eat from the same plate with him. I hate eating from the same plate with people. Some eat and drop food from their mouth back into the plate. I felt like making a partition on the plate, but I drew an invisible line, and prayed he didn’t cross it. He picked up a spoon and started eating, without saying a prayer. I wonder what Ibi-orubo would say, if she knew my husband ..the husband she had gotten for me…didn’t have the sense to pray before eating. The meal was finished, and I took the tray into the kitchen. I washed them at the sink, and went back into the sitting room. He was still seated there. I hope my husband wasn’t what my father calls a couch potato. If he was, I would have to return him. Couch potatoes never get anything done. Father always said. I walked back down the corridor, and into the room. Some minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Are you ready to go to bed? He asked standing at the door. I nodded Yes. We would be leaving for Lagos tomorrow with a ten O’clock flight. We have to be at the airport by 9 O’clock. I turned to look at him, but he was gone. I sat on the bed, in the quiet of the room. The ceiling fan labored in the dense atmosphere, and a cricket cricked somewhere close. I wondered what part of the bed I should sleep in. I lay down, and covered myself with the very heavy duvet. No doubt one of the things he brought from his numerous journeys. It is too heavy for the Nigerian weather, I hoped he wouldn’t expect me to wash it. I lay on the bed, listening to the clock tick. I didn’t want to be asleep when he came into the room. I followed the sounds of his movements through the house, then I heard a door slam. All was quiet. I stood by the taxi, while he loaded my suitcases into it, wondering where all my kitchen ammunition would fit into. When all my suitcases were in the boot, he went in and brought out a small black bag. Then he shut the boot. I stood there, looking at him. Where are all my other things? I asked him. He looked at me puzzled. What things, he seemed to ask. The things for my kitchen…..the things I brought with me when I came. Then he rumbled in laughter. That is the first time I heard him laugh. Then he unceremoniously informed her that me nicks and nacks as he called them, had no place in his kitchen in Lagos. You would have everything you need there. I looked at the shut door, tempted to insist on bringing all my properties. I turned around, and walked back into the house. I needed just one item, a small pestle. I came out bearing my ammunition, and I could see the laughter in his eyes. I simply ignored him, and got into the car wielding my pestle. to be continued

THE THRILL (part 2) The drive to the airport was long and uneventful. We were silent through the journey, and my mind fleeted between wondering what he was thinking about, and when would be the best time to inform him that I have never gotten on an airplane. I was woken up by a soft shove, I didn’t even know I had dozed off. When it was time for takeoff, I squeezed her hands so hard, he let out a loud yelp dragging the attention of people around us, but I didn’t let go. That was the second time we had bodily contact. The first time being during the payment of my bride price, when I had to give him wine from a cup. Our fingers had brushed. After two days of being in Lagos, I decided that I didn’t like the city. There were too many people, and although we stayed in a quiet pat of the town, I could feel the vibrations of the people all around. I also decided that I did not like Lagos people. The first day we got to our house, it was like a well had vomited its contents, for the amount of people that flooded the house. They came in twos and threes, laughing and smiling, congratulating my husband and looking me over like a prized cow. The women giggled, with their faces in masks of blue, red and purple. I smiled in return, and nodded my head and gave them more drinks. My husband had an endless supply. He even taught me how to pronounce their names correctly. No it’s not cognac…. It is pronounced konyak. I shook my head, and served more drinks. By the time they left, had a pile of dishes to wash, and a messy house to clean. Indeed I hate Lagos people. My husband never lifted a finger to help with the chores. At the end of the day, he walked out of the door, for more drinks with his friends. I hate Lagos. I laid on my bed, awaiting my husband’s arrival as usual. I looked at the time, it was past midnight. We didn’t share a bed, but I never went to sleep until I was sure he was back from wherever it is he went every night. I wondered when I would be able to fully understand him. Every morning, when I wake up he would be on the dining table poring through books, barely four hours after he came back home. One morning, after he left for work, there was a knock on the door. I opened it, and there before me was one of those Lagos women. I told her my husband was not around, but she informed me that she was here to see me. The smell of whatever concoction she had dabbed herself with, overpowered our surroundings. She smiled too broadly, showing the pink chewing gum she had in her mouth. She stood before me, clearly expecting to be let into the house. I recognized her as one of the brood of women that had invaded my home the first night I was here. I moved aside, and she swayed in with the side to side movements of a centipede. I shut the door, and followed her into the sitting room, watching her sway her big buttocks from side to side like a baboon. She took a seat, albeit in my favourite spot and I ignored that, taking a spot closer to her. “Hmm.. our wife…” she began, in a sarcastic manner. Then she proceeded to give me the usual amebo nosy neighbours see as their obligation. Who to avoid, who is the neighborhood husband snatcher, who likes my husband, who and who have slept with my husband, who and who would not mind having a piece of him. An endless litany. I sat there, listening to her go on and on, and it occurred to me that she would go on forever, if I let her. “Marima by the way. My name is Marima” she said mid sentence, realizing that she had not introduced herself. I smiled in response, obviously she assumed she knew my name. But if what she was pronouncing was anything to go by, she didn’t. About two hours after she knocked on my door, Marima finally left. I shook my head behind her. My fellow bored housewife. That is what I have become wasn’t it. I slammed my door shut, once again mad at Ibi-orubo for pulling me out of the life I knew and wanted. For two weeks, I lived with my husband as though he were my brother. We didn’t share a bed, and neither did we share anything intimate. Then one night, I listened closely when he came in and I heard a second set of footsteps. I climbed down from my bed, and listened with my ears to the door. Sure enough, there was someone else with him in the house. I opened my door, and walked towards his room where they had entered. I stood outside for a couple of minutes, before opening the door. Before me, was my husband unclad. The very first time I was seeing my husband unclad, and he had an equally unclad woman wrapped around him. They froze in shock, breathing deeply. I smiled and turned around and went into my room, I searched under the bed for my pestle. I grabbed it, and went back to his room. They were right where I left them, whispering quietly. The girl tried to cover her bushy mound with her palms, but that left her breasts bare, she was confused as to which was more important to be covered. When they sighted my weapon, the girl shrieked. My husband stood up, pushing her behind him. I stood by the door, and motioned for her to get out. She looked at my husband with fear filled eyes. “Get out now” I screamed with rage. She scampered out of the room, low to the ground. My husband looked at me, with shock on his face. I turned around, and went back into my room, without a word. The next morning, all was quiet and we carried on as usual. Nobody said a word concerning “you know what”. That day was a market day, so I went to the rowdy market, and bought some items for food. When my husband came back there was a sumptuous meal for him. He ate in silence, while I watched. That night, when he went out as usual, he didn’t come back in until dawn, when he came in for a change of clothes, before heading out to work. That day, I paid a visit to Marima. She was elated. I sat down, and listened to her for a long time. With a little prodding, she told me all there was to know about Clara, my husband’s mistress. Marima knew a lot. I walked back home, with a plan in my head. I knew all I needed to know, to do what needed to be done. For the first time since I came to Lagos, I had a purpose. One rule I always had, was to give people a chance… a choice, to make them create their own path. I intended to give Clara that same opportunity, Just as Ibi-orubo taught me. When I came out of the bathroom that night, I stood in front of a mirror, staring at my reflection. I thought about the nimble and supple body of my husband’s mistress. I had an even better body, of course I can be biased. I thought about what Marima had told me, and I was even more determined to give myself a chance. I didn’t come to Lagos, to be a trophy wife, or a naive village wife. I am his wife, and no matter how much he loves his mistress, he must give me my respect. How could he think that I tumini, would be his baby making machine, if he truly loved her, he would have married her, in spite of her inability to give him a child. I must give my marriage a chance. The next morning, I boarded a bus armed with the directions to Clara’s house. When I got there, I knocked on her door and she opened it. Her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets upon seeing me. “What do you want here?” she asked me menacingly. I smiled, and in the most polite tone I could muster, told her I was there to reach an understanding with her. She laughed at me, calling me a village scarecrow. She told me that my husband belonged to her, and that she alone tells him what to do, I stood there, while she rained abuses on me, telling me that she would be the one to raise my children in my husband’s house. With each word she uttered, she sealed her fate. I smiled, turned around and left her house. My husband came home furious but I was ready. He slammed the door of the living room, screaming “Where is that woman?” he was shocked to find me on the floor, shaking like a hen under the rain. He stopped in his tracks, kneeling by me and touching me all over, asking me what was wrong with me. I mumbled something incoherent, as he lifted me from the ground, and took me into my room. He sat by me for about an hour, after giving me some medicine from my drawer, then I pleaded with him to go and have his supper, which was already on the dining table. Two hours later, I quietly removed his hands from my body, while snored softly on my bed. Then I got off the bed, and made him more comfortable. It was time. I walked towards her house, making sure none of her neighbours were watching. I had gotten off the bus I entered two streets away. I carried a bag that seemed heavier than it had been initially. I tried the door handle, and it was open. I entered a lavish sitting room. Too lavish for a single girl. “Baby you are late” she called from somewhere I assumed was the kitchen. I walked towards her voice. She turned around, from the counter top she was cleaning. “What are you doing here?” she asked me in shock. I smiled, and walked towards her. I pressed the cloth to her mouth, just as she made to scream. She slumped like a rag doll. Fifteen minutes later, I splashed some water on her face, causing her to jerk into consciousness. I had tied her to a chair from her dining. Her mouth was gagged, and she widened her eyes, wondering what was going on. “I gave you a choice…..this is your choice” I took my eight inches knife, and drew a line across her face from cheek to cheek. Blood spilled out slowly. I smiled, delighting in the feel of the blood on my palm, a feeling I have yearned for for so long. She struggled, in evident pain. I was just getting started. I had so much fun, carving her up and scaring her near perfect body. For every insult she had given to me earlier that day, I gave her a slash. When I ran out of insults, I gave her extra slashes because there were still some mark free spaces on her skin. She pleaded with her eyes, crying and mumbling. I paid no heed. I had a mission. It was over too soon, as she had a small frame. Then I began connecting the marks, with deep gashes. She tried toppling herself off the chair, but I am yet to see anyone who can loosen my knots save my teacher of course. I thought of Ibi-orubo, wondering what she would say if she knew what I was doing at that very moment. She had warned me to be careful, to control my urges, but she had not known that my husband would have a mistress had she? I removed her from my mind, concentrating on the task at hand. When I got tired of her, I finished it with a stab on her chest. I would have loved to go for her jugular, and feel the warmth of her blood on my face, but I didn’t need blood spewing all over the living room. She jerked around a bit like they always do, and then became still. I call it the final rumba. I meticulously carved her up piece by piece, putting her into my bag, after wrapping each piece with foil, to hold in what blood there was. It took me an hour, and an extra hour to clean the house. Then I picked up my bag, putting her mobile phone into the bag with her parts and walked out of the house. I walked for two streets, before hailing and boarding a bus. One thing I love about Lagos, the city never sleeps. Not so good for my hobby, but good enough to get lost in, and become anonymous if need be. The next morning, I opened my eyes, to see my husband staring at me. “How do you feel?” he asked, putting a hand to my temple. “Much better” I replied. That was two months ago, and I am back to being a bored house wife. Some days I wish my husband would get himself another willing mistress, just to get the thrill for the kill I knew I would have. But so far, he has disappointed me. We even share a room these days. He is actively trying to get me a baby, he thinks that would make my life less boring, whenever I complain. He is nursing the pain of a heart break secretly, Clara absconded with another man, great story don't you think? Spread courtesy Marima the grapevine. I know I would get another opportunity to enjoy the thrill, so I await. I know it won’t take so long, I know it is bound to happen sooner more than later. I await the thrill. I anticipate the kill. But for now, I am just the bored Lagos housewife. THE END Sorry for late posting guys. i was busy through out yesterday. i hope you will forgive me just like ewoma did ? :) happy sunday to you guys from ewomazeal and saintkenz :) :) :)

The heat of Man is predominantly evil. Darryl turned to loving hearts against each other with deceits and lies. Brethren! Never be too quick to trust Man bcos they can be deadly. Thank God you paid attention to little details that mattered. Happy Sunday Y'all
