BETTY: ***turned to bimpe*** that is onihaxy,
my boyfriend. **pointing at me***
ME: hi.
BIMPE: **frowned** hi, how are you sir?
ME: ***me?, sir?***, I'm fine ma.
BIMPE: **sat down and pulled her daughter
closer****, I heard you came from Ado?.
ME: yes
BIMPE: that's cool. How was the journey?.
BIMPE: it was ok.
BETTY: **came closer to sit with me**
onihaxy, I told Aunty bimpe a lot about you
and she had always said she can't wait to see
you.
ME: **chaiiii, *** really?
BIMPE: ***fake smile***yeah. I have always
wanted to see the person who puts a smile on
my little mummy's face.
ME: ***smiled also*** thank you ma.
BETTY: loooooolz. That reminds me.
BIMPE: ***looked at betty's direction***
what's that?.
BETTY: onihaxy told me that he knew you and
that you once lived in the same street, is that
true?.
BIMPE: **looked at me somehow*** yes,
seems so.
ME: hmmmmmm
BETTY: and he told me that you had a quarrel
that hasn't been resolved.
ME: silent
BIMPE: is that what he told you? ***turned to
betty***
BETTY: yes Aunty.
BIMPE: don't mind him, we lived in same
street and we met at a filling station while
queuing to buy fuel, and can you imagine, he
pushed my keg away and slapped me because
I left the queue to squeeze my keg for just a
litre of petrol.
ME: ***chaiii, this girl can lie oooo, the devil
is definitely a learner ooooo****
BETTY: **turned to me** onihaxy, is that true?
ME: **looking sober** yes, why would I queue
inside the sun for over an hour and someone
would just come to outline me.
BIMPE: can you just hear him?.
BETTY: **stood up and moved closer to
bimpe**. Please its ok, I want everything to
settle here right now and that's why I invited
onihaxy here so that both of you can meet and
settle.
ME: I'm no more angry with her.
BIMPE: I'm still very much angry. Imagine, he
slapped me that day.
BETTY: aunty bimpe, please its ok, let's just
forget the past and let there be peace again. I
beg of you.
BIMPE: its ok, I heard you.
BETTY: mummy daniella, are you sure?
BIMPE: yes.
BETTY: haba, Aunty, but you are still frowning
now.
BIMPE: its ok **faked smile***.
BETTY: ok, let me bring a wine and let's have
a toast for the peace been restored between
you guys.
BIMPE: ok,
ME: ok.
Betty left for the wine and bimpe and I was
sitting opposite each other at the living room
staring at each other as if we should break
bottle on each other's head. The look on her
face was so scary that I was becoming
uncomfortable and getting scared as I was
seated. Betty arrived with the wine and we
both faked a smile, betty popped the bottle
and pour the drink into 3 glass cup. We had a
toast and we drank it.
BETTY: now that peace had been restored
between two old street neighbours, let me
excuse you guys for a moment, I want to buy
cway water for the dispenser from the 2nd
street. I will be back in a jiffy.
ME: ***smiled*** ok dear.
BIMPE: ***faced betty and smiled also***
alright love.
Betty left the room and bimpe and I were both
silent until we heard the sound of the gate
indicating that betty had left the compound.
Bimpe stood up from her seat and walked
towards me. My heart was beaten faster as
she was coming closer. She finally stopped
few inches from me.
BIMPE: **yelled with frowned face*** you are
playing with fire onihaxy, and I will advise you
to thread gently. Don't just try me.
ME: and what will you do to me? ***with
boldness***
BIMPE: let's just watch and see.
ME: madam calm down. You don't have to
threaten me anymore because I'm now in
charge.
BIMPE: let's just watch and see.
ME: where are my certificates?.
BIMPE: which silly certificates?, you told me
that I should eat them. So if you want your
certificates, go to lawma, because they have
been disposed away long time ago.
ME: bimpe, before the count of 3 bring out my
credentials or else.......
BIMPE: or else what?
ME: I will burst out the bubble.
BIMPE: **laughed and clapped**** clap for
yourself. Go ahead and burst whatever you
want to burst. For your information, my
husband and her sister are already aware that
a patient raped me while I was working with
an abuja based hospital. I have pictures and
video evidences of where I was crying
helplessly after you raped me.
And also, I have told my husband about my
past relationships so there is nothing new that
you want to say that he isn't aware of. So mr
man, they would be so happy to meet the guy
who did the raping. If you don't burst
whatever you want to burst, then you are a
bastard.
**hissed and walked out of the living room
with her daughter*******
