ANOTHER CHANCE ANOTHER LOVE.

Chapter 11

Almost 30 minutes later, my guys were having fun with cake, samosa, chap man, and some traditional snack she brought again, alkai and dibilan, and some chin chin,

I stood up admist their tease to go check her in the kitchen, on entering i saw her working in a calm manner, already i could see some steaming pots and pans on fire, two filled up dishes on the long island, and now she was dicing some cooked liver,

"Hey, can i help? I feel bad leaving you to all this" I said

"Am okey" she said rolling her eyes,

"Am not making much, just some rice noddles, with shredded lamp sauce, then grilled chicken with feta cheese and pasta with liver, nothing much" she said as she continued to dive the liver,

"oh i made the potato salad and shrimp sauce already for those who want white rice, like i cooked white rice yesterday afternoon but I couldn't eat, so i hope it's owkey if i just warm it up, because i have already warmed it up"

"Its more than owkey, thank you so much" I sincerely say, i so much want to hug her in appreciation but i better not for now,

"So you can help by placing this done dishes on the dining and you can go to your boys, let me not deprive them of the hour to tease you for coming in here", i laughed out at her last sentence and set to help her..

By the time i went to check up on her again she was garnishing the last meal, which i watch with admiration, "and done" she said with a smile that quickly disappeared, i took it to dining room and came back to see now clearing up, i set to help her,

"No, it's okey" she begun,

"Please, let me do this, i need to help you" i pleaded, she shook her head and allowed me to help her clear up,

I made sure the kitchen was clean before agreeing with her to go call them over for lunch, as they all settled down, she brought in the cups of milks shake, that was strawberry in flavor,

"We gave you some much work" Rashad said as he saw the loads of dishes,

"Work, oh no, not at all, am even sacred i made so little" she innocently said as i help placed the cups of milk shake down,

"Thank you" i said to her with a smile, she playfully narrowed her eyes at me which i found so hot and funny at the same time,

"Should we eat up" i asked her

"You and who" she asked with a raised eyebrow,

"Me and you" i said rolling my eyes,

"You know, you roll your eyes too much" she said as she made motion of plugging them out making me chuckle ,

"Eat with your buddies" she said and she whispered to me "its for you to spy on them and report to me who ever says the food doesn't taste nice", i laughed out loud but nodded

"Now be a good spy" she said and patted me for the second time day,

"Bon appetite everyone" she said

"Merci be coupe" Taiwo said as he was already serving himself a piece of everything, that glutton and he never adds weight to his lean lanky figure.

I felt very proud as we ate, proud that the food was so amazing, proud that i was being hailed and counted a lucky man, but do i feel lucky? Well if she will cook or do something like this for me and do it good, then i am bound to feel lucky.

After our hearty but lousy but nevertheless hearty delicious lunch, which some of us decided to go for second and third helping of everything, well Taiwo's own was more, i wonder how his wife copes with him,  even during my third helping, they teased me about the source of the food living with me, they don't know the punishment i was subjected too,

So after that, i and Naseem helped clear the table, it felt like the right thing to do after her hardwork,

Then with stomach full we settled for a round of Video games and arguments, some moments later, I decided to go check on my wife, and i saw her in the sitting room upstairs, on the couch watching a movie on the TV, before i could say anything, she turned to the door to see me,

"Have you eaten" I asked

"That will be later" she quietly said

"Or will you like something else"  and she shook her head,

"Are you sure, or should i sit with you, they will be fine" i said, i wish she will say yes, but she shook her head and said "but thank you" and that was my cue to go, so I nodded and left.

By the time it was time for them to go, she had a sealed bag of some small chops and cookies for each of them and strictly warned them its for their wives, which they promised to deliver and even made promises to bring the wives over.

Again i thanked and placed it at the back of my mind to go hijack one of Ammi's  Mama Hajna my favorite cook, i will love to be eating my wife's dishes all day but i know Mama Hajna will keep her company and getting a new cook seems like the right thing to do, besides if i want something by her hands, i will just politely ask.

And the very next day, i called Ammi and explained to her that i need Mama Hajna, she readily agreed, again Ameerah surprised me by making me breakfast,

Instead of asking why, I decided not to jinx it but instead thanked her and even helped her clear the table after breakfast, and she is yet to like feel free with me or something, she confuses me in a way.

That afternoon, I knew i did the right thing when i heard her shout in excitement when she saw Mama Hajan, i know the two know each other, and after i left her to help Mama Hajan settle in, i went up to my room,

Some minutes later, i heard a knock, and without waiting for reply, the door was pushed opened to reveal her,

"Hey" i called as my heart begun to beat faster

"I wanted to thank you, for bringing Mama Hajna" she said with a poker face but her voice was so calm, "thank you" she added

"You are welcome" i said with smile hoping she will smile, but she didn't,

"So see you later" she said and waved at me, which i found hilarious and more hilarious that i waved back..
