Everyone, ten days has passed since we came to Lagos. Remember where I said Sul can work the heck off, that I'll still get my fun? Well turns out it wasn't as easy as that. I guess I was just bluffing....

I lived all by myself in this resort which was full of people I was unfamiliar with. During the first five days, I didn't put Sul in my eyes even once. Since that night after he handed me my buffet card. At first, I tried to get myself busy with stuff I can do in the resort to get some fun, but after three days I began to get really anxious and paranoid. I really hated prying into Sul's matters and I missed myself from weeks ago before we got married. That girl was bold and wasn't wary of anything. She knew well how the person she was getting married to was, so at any slightest chance she got, she tried to interact more with him and get to know him better. Now that she got married however, she became a different person. A big scaredy cat who was worried about the way her own husband would think of her. Just how ridiculous is this?

Before I got married, I wasn't scared to make any moves. If anything, I was extremely confident. But now, it's as if all of that confidence crumbled, and now I'm left scared for my life, as if I was doing anything wrong.

So I called Sul to hear where he was. And guess what, he told me he travelled to Ibadan. How can anyone do that? He brought me to this place, dumped me here, and then went his own way. If anything, I'm supposed to know that he'll be going to Ibadan for whatever business he had to take care of over there. I then shall have the say to if I wanted to continue living in the Resort alone or fly back home. Alas, due to his negligence, I'm left here all alone.

What was even more irritating was the fact that I was crazily worried about him that I began thinking perhaps something horrible happened to him in Lagos. I spent hours chewing on my nails, thinking of what would happen to me should Sul die barely a week after our marriage. Not just my reputation, but my mental health as well. Only for me to call him and listen to him non-chalantly tell me he actually travelled to Ibadan for 'other business'

Coming out of my room, I saw a cleaner coming out of Sul's hotel room which was just beside mine.

"Is the owner of this room still around?" I asked the worker. I didn't know why I even asked the question. I just asked it out of boredom perhaps or curiosity.

"Yes, he is" the worker told me as politely as possible before leaving me standing in the corridor.

So he's even returned.... and he doesn't tell me. I don't know why the hell though, but I somehow felt relieved in my mind. I understand it's likely because his return can mean that we'll soon be on our way back home after this fake ass honeymoon.

It was almost twelve pm and it's actually the time I'm getting my breakfast today. These days I do stuff in a circular order. Watch dramas, read books, go outside in the evening, eat, watch dramas, sleep, repeat. So because I spend most of the night hours watching dramas, I don't quite wake up early. I do wake up though for Subh after the alarm, since the location we were in wasn't like Sokoto where you hear the adhan everywhere when it was time for prayer. Here, you had to rely on your appliances. So soon as I say my subh prayers, I go back to bed and get an additional length of sleep.

I was actually so bored to the point that I've tried out every single thing in this resort. From climbing the swing alone, to learning how to ride a bicycle, to mounting a horse, feeding rabbits and a lot more, I did all of these on a daily routine that I've almost even run out of things to do.The people around were also really nice, but I did not get attached, talkless of making any friends. I actually was someone who could never get familiar with foreigners in a short period of time. Especially non Muslims. I feel like they'll try to hurt me or something, so I tend to stay away from the likes of them. And what do you think? This place is swarming with just the set of people I was wary of. That's why I could never get used to them and operated alone whenever I was outdoors.
