MADAM [UNEDITED]

••25••

  "Wale I don reach, wey your guy." I asked. I was outside standing at the airport waiting, I finally made up my mind to come to Abuja irrespective of the advice of my friends. I have no choice I need to do it, he's my only hope. I just pray he doesn't ask too much of me. "Calm down na, I don send am im dey come." He replied rudely. It's not his fault I'm the one in need of help so I have to suck it up.

Few minutes later a Range Rover sports drove towards  and parked by the car, I expected to see a rugged looking man with a slight pot belly but what I saw blew my mind. He's a very beautiful specimen, I know I said I was done with men but he's so mind blowing. I need to concentrate, no distractions and then he spoke. "Madam na me be Sabo."

Major turn off, how can someone so handsome have such disgruntled voice. More reason for me to remember my mission for coming here. "Abeg open the car for me." I rudely said, if I can't be with him then I'd rather treat him lowly. We were hit with serious traffic, I actually thought it's only Lagos we experienced this but I thought wrong.

Feeling a little bit thirsty I rolled down the windows to call for a hawker selling water. "Aaaah, my Madam. Twale, na you be dis. Wetin you dey find here." The young man I called said, I wasn't shocked at his outburst. Everyone knew me it would be a shame if you've never heard of me, I may be terror to the rich people but not the poor masses. I make sure I help them in anyway I can, that's why I have their support.

"I con here for business oooo, how you dey naw." I replied bringing down my glasses. "Madam I no dey fine oooo, you boy dey here. Abeg I need job oooo you fit help me." I was about to ask him further when the car started moving, I turned abruptly to Sabo to order him to stop the car. "I no fit, you no be my boss." He snorted. "I dey tell you say make you stop you dey banter words with me, you wan make I report you to Wale." I said smugly.

I knew he was scared of his boss, Wale made sure to instill obedience in all his workers in the worst way ever. I can't even imagine how bad his initiation was, I shuddered at the thought. He looked at me defeated and hit the brakes. "Bros make you enter this car, we fit talk better for here. E no good make we talk this kian thing outside." I reasoned with him.

"Aaah Madam thank you for this opportunity, I don tire for this country oo. I neva chop since morning." He exclaimed removing his cap from his head, he reeked so much of piss but I couldn't call him out he would be embarrassed. I just have to deal with the smell. "I understand, this country don scatter finish. Na only God go help us." I replied.

"Abeg help me na, see ehn I fit do anything." I looked at him with pity and brought my card to give him. "When you're ready call me, I'm sure I'd have something for you." He looked extremely grateful, if he was outside I'm sure he wouldn't hesitate to kneel and thank me. "Thank you ma , thank you so much. God go bless you." He gushed with tears streaming down his face.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry anymore. Where can I drop you off." "Just stop me here, I go find my way." He pointed at a shop by the roadside, when he came down I noticed a little girl ran to him."Daddy I missed you, you came back early today. What happened?" She asked excitedly, the sight was so touching I had to restrain myself from crying. "We no go suffer anymore my dear, our helper don come." He said to her. Me, a helper, I wish.

"Baby girl see as you dey shine like diamond. As I just see you now my heart just dry beat anyhow." Wale said when I stepped into his bedroom. I didn't want to come in here at first but he insisted, I had no choice. "That no be wetin wey bring me here Wale. I seriously need your help." I said sitting at the chair near the the bedside. His eyes followed my movement as a prey, after all these years I still have that effect on him.
