"Oya make una two go find broom sweep the room, use mama ejiro mop clean the room that useless rose borrow my mop and she never still return am, when una finish I go buy una biscuit oya!" She said as the children ran out of the room with bright smiles on their faces.
While we were waiting for the children to arrive with the cleaning items her eyes met my phone and it widened in shock immediately.
" Wetin be this?" She asked pointing to my phone and I twirled the phone In my hands, an embarrassed look on my face.
" My phone" I said with a low voice, if anything she didn't look upset, Instead she looked amused.
"Motor jam your phone, why e be like phone wey get accident " She asked and I almost chuckled at her funny description, funanya would certainly agree with her on this.
"Ehn, it fell off my hand and it has been giving me issues ever since so i just had to secure it with a rubber band"
"Ah, the matter plenty, pray make money come make you buy new phone cos if yakubu thief this one e go return am" She said as the children returned with cleaning items.
"Make we dey go my room before they finish" She said and I smiled at her appreciatively.
We got to her room and I was surprised to see the mini paradise she was able to create with her space. She had a television and different picture frames littered the wall.
I spotted a pant hung loosely on the wall but I focused my attention on her before she noticed me staring.
"Your room is beautiful" I complimented and she smiled.
"You mean am, thank you o, I go fit help you arrange your room o but nor be today I don tire" she stretched and I got a glimpse of her navel piercing glistening against her ebony skin.
"How often do you get power supply here?" I asked and she stopped to think for a moment.
"That one hard o, this NEPA people dey craze well well, sometimes we nor dey see light for straight two weeks, sometimes we dey see, the thing be say if God say let there be light, light must dey" she explained and I nodded trying to understand what she meant.
"You don chop?" She asked suddenly after a few minutes of silence and I shook my head in the negative.
"You na lucky guy o, my roommate just cook better Egusi soup before she commot" she said and my eyes widened at the new information.
"So, you have a roommate?" I asked and she nodded gingerly as she progressed to show me a picture of her friend on her phone.
The girl in question was so beautiful.
My ideal kind of woman, beautiful, calm and very natural. She had cornrows on that easily defined her facial features.
"Why you dey smile like fowl way see corn Abeg give me my phone" She said and snatched her phone from my hold, I was so lucky nothing happened to the phone only God knows what would have become my fate.
"Your friend is very beautiful... She's"
"Abeg carry your wahala go that side e be like say I go carry itohan go church because na only poor boys dey talk to am, I dey try push mike commot from e body you wan still join with your kpalasa phone" She said eyeing me distastefully as I shifted uncomfortably in her seat.
"Sorry, I forgot to ask earlier, please what's your name?" I asked with brows raised but her answer knocked breath out of me.
"You wan use me do ritual, my head na strong head o, e nor dey work o anyways my name na Suzy baby" She said smiling and i internally wondered what kind of name she beared.
"Suzy baby?" I asked again to be sure I heard her correctly.
"The only Suzy baby for this community all other Suzy babies are counterfeit!" She screamed and I laughed at how extra she was.
"Well, that's nice..." I was saying when I heard a knock on the door. The children were done cleaning the room and I thanked Suzy profusely.
"Thank you suzy baby, you're a life saver I definitely owe you one" I said and she nodded wearing her slippers to see me off.
"No wahala, the only thing way you owe me na to change that your phone, Abeg" she said as she saw me off to the entrance of my room.
"Okay Dotun my gee, bye bye o. I go con give you the Egusi and eba later I wan sleep small I don tire" She said yawning tiredly and I nodded my head in understanding.
She waved at me and walked towards her room and stared at her retreating figure, she was nice but only the thought of her room mate occupied my mind.
I had barely entered the room when the shrill sound of my ringing tone halted my movement, it was Ifunanya calling for the twentieth time today.
"Funanya what is it!" I said as I sat on the mat I spread on the floor.
"Well, have you settled in yet?" I asked.
"Yes I have, let's say I met an angel in disguise, she made things so easy for me "
" Wow, that was fast, what's her name bro do you like her? " She asked and I didn't miss the eagerness in her tone.
"Well, her name is Suzy baby and well, she's loud and a little bit crazy but I think I'll manage her for now but I think we'll get along well"
"Well, It's obvious you don't like her like that. Just have fun yeah, I'm going clubbing with my friends tonight!" She squealed excitedly and I smiled.
"Have fun funanya but don't get drunk, you know what happens" I said and she giggled before I hung up.
Well, let's see what I can do around here.
Oya oya hit me!
