When the sun comes

THREE

He was surprised when he came in to the wonderful aroma of one of his best food, he walked into the kitchen and was half surprised to see his wife bent over cooking and singing loudly, she had not notice him come in, he stood watching her and for the first time of meeting her, he noticed her curves and the roundness of her behind he couldn't help but get the good view, he scanned her body, she was wearing a singlet, her skin looked so soft, it had an oily glow that complimented the little lightness of her skin, maybe she had finally noticed, she turned around quickly very surprised and frightened and his eyes moved no where else except the fair bouncy  cleavage of her breasts,

"When did you come" she asked startling him a bit , he gulped and finally settled on her face, she was sweating a bit but her face was glowing, he remembered she asked a question and she was waiting for an answer,

"Not long ago, you should lock the door from inside, just in case it is someone else" he said,

She nodded in understanding, she needed to be careful, she was new in town and with all the stories she had heard about the city, where robbery, kidnapping and even rituals were a big thing, she had to be careful,

"What are you cooking" he asked nervously feeling like a fool for standing there and looking at her like that,

"Ogbono soup" she said,

"Go and bath, so that we can eat the food will be ready soon, she told him,

He was thankful for that, he didn't want to embarrass himself , he hoped she didn't notice the bulge down there, what was wrong with him? He needed to do something about this quickly.

After the delicious dinner, he couldn't help but appreciate her, he loved the way she smiled, she told him about the neighbor she met, he told her about the husband and family, and a little about his work in the factory, that night they had gone to bed, she didn't mind that he was there as long as he did not touch her and he didn't, she couldn't help but think about actually liking him but she shrugged it maybe she would never, she didn't know about the future and she didn't want to think about it now.

********

She was getting bored, every day when he left to the factory or wherever he worked, she would be at home doing nothing but reading books that she found in the store room or sleeping or watching Tv. She was afraid that she was gaining a little to much weight sitting at home all day, between her and Ikem things were relatively normal for the past two weeks they had both opened up a little, they had different types of conversations, it was usually in the evening, although not to close, she didn't know how to tell him that she was tired of staying at home alone everyday, she was also getting friendly to the neighbor they had chat for a bit earlier.

That day he came back too early in the afternoon, she had asked to cook lunch but he asked her not to bother herself.

"We are going out" he announced,

She didn't know where they were going to but she was happy, she would live the house after almost three weeks indoors.

For the first time ever, she sat in the front of his car next to him, she marvelled at the sight of the city before her, there were a lot more cars on the road all colourful and full of noise, the houses were big, and beautiful, magnificent some even looked more beautiful than the king's palace in the village, people of all shapes,colours, sizes and ages walking even running, some traders displayed their wares outside of their shops and hawkers made different noises to attract the attention of buyers, she was amazed by everything she was seeing, he saw her smiling like a typical village girl, he couldn't help but smile a bit as he drove the car.

They arrived at a big place, he asked her to come down they walked in together, him at the front,

The attendant with artificial long lashes and a deep cheek bone was staring at Ikem, she looked dreamily at him, he didn't seem to mind though,

"I want to find beautiful dresses for my wife" he said, the woman seemed to suddenly notice the small short girl standing there looking at her and wondering how someone eyelashes can be so thick and long.

"Y yes sir" the woman said, she called a younger more beautiful girl to show them what they wanted, the younger one was more shy in her flirting,

"Sir we have a lot of beautiful dresses, look at this one" she showed him, she kept showing all the dresses to him,

"Can you show it to her and not me, am not going to wear gowns and skirts" he snapped at the girl,

"S sorry sir, madam look at this" the girl said feeling bad that she had to address someone that she was older than madam,

Mmasi had been startled at his behavior to the girl, she was not so happy with the girl who didn't want to do her work but was all clingy to her husband,

She looked at the dresses some where to short and tight, she picked a few but he asked for more.

"They are too much this one is okay"she said

"It is still so little, bring more" he ordered the girl.

At the end of the day they had bought a lot of clothes, shoes and bags, many clothe hangers, many jewelleries too, they left with many many bags, she caught a glimpse of the bill, she didn't know how much everything cost but there was a lot of zeros at the end.

"Thank you so much"she thanked.

"Stop it this is the one thousandth time of saying thank you" he smiled as he drove into their compound,

She smiled shyly, she didn't think that he would do all this for her, someone she thought of as a stranger, as he gathered some of the bags, she smiled and went to help him.
