MARRIAGE TALES [[ON HOLD]]

Chapter 11

"This food is cold! You know I don't like cold food, take it away!" Sadiq barked at her.

"But you told me not to put in the flask when I asked if you were eating now or later," Summayya's voice spoke timidly.

"Okay just wait a minute, I'll reheat it up right now. " she added hastily making her way over to the table and reaching for the plate of Spaghetti and Meatballs.

But all she got as a response was a hiss from him. She stared in confusion.

Sadiq came back from Abuja yesterday and she has been up and about since then. It's either the water for bathing was too hot or the bed was not comfortable. He even complained the floor was too neat.

Just imagine!

He brushed past her as he made his way to the sitting room, turned on the TV and hissed again.

She knew what was coming.

"Why haven't you paid for the dstv subscription?" without waiting for her answer he grabbed his car keys from the TV stand and stormed out of the house.

There was nothing wrong with the food, he was just looking for an excuse to go and see Edna, one among his numerous lovers.

Halting the car in front of a Scrappy looking one-bedroom flat in an unpleasant neighborhood, he got out of the car and made his way to the net door that already has holes.

As if on cue, the door opened revealing a Light-skinned beautiful lady.

Yes! She was beautiful just not rich and classy.

"I thought you would never come." Edna spoke in an annoying attempt of mimicking one of her friend's tiny and barbie-like voice.

"Do you think it's possible? How can I be in Minna and not come to see my Queen, the owner of my heart." that did the trick as she blushed and smiled shyly.

She face palmed herself and said "Where are my manners, please come in."

Sadiq entered the room which also served as a kitchen for her.

Edna Peters is a Nineteen year old student of College of education Minna, living in the popular student area Shango things were not going well for her. Her mother was a fish seller at the local market in her village. She had made her jamb score but was not offered admission into the University, she tried five times and gave up to attend College of education Minna popularly know as 'gidan buki'

So she resulted into sleeping with married men in exchange for money and other materialistic things.

She was practically a prostitute!

Not that it mattered to her. She had always wanted to be free, even when she was at the village with her mother, she was a very disobedient child and was always flirting with those dirty boys that sag with unclean boxers in the market.

So when she got admitted into COE Minna, she made sure to make the best of it. It was a Monday afternoon when she went to Mr Hassan, their economics Lecturer office and met him with a tall,dark and slightly chubby man who never seemed to take his eyes off her body. Right then she knew she had hit the jackpot because he looked rich and boy was she glad she wore her tight straight gown that had a slit by the side.

No they were not allowed into the school dressed like that, she followed through the broken fence that had no security guard to chase the indecent dressed students away.

She was bad like that!

•••••••
She hissed and looked agitated, this was just a show to make him ask what was wrong and it worked because his next words were...

"What is wrong my dear?"

"Our Accounting lecturer brought a new text book to class and he said we must buy it!"

Sadiq sighed, "How much is it?"

"Three thousand naira." she answered with her voice gradually getting low, she was getting what she wanted!

It was a lie! The poor lecturer did not bring any text book to the class, this was just a way to get him to increase what he would normally give her after they were done.

Sadiq counted Ten thousand naira from the bundled one thousand naira mints he had in his pocket, but not before turning slightly so she could not see all the money while he was counting it.

"Stingy man!" Edna thought while scrunching up her nose.

"Here, have it... Buy the text book and also something nice for yourself and please repair the door it looks disgusting." he spoke while handing her the money.

Disgusting? Whatever she would check the dictionary later.

"Thank you so much honey. That's why I love you!" she exclaimed, trying to sound as truthful as possible while exaggerating the smile on her face, she leaned in and gave him a kiss.

Eewwww.

His phone ranged from his breast pocket and pulled it out to check the caller ID and the name he saw made his heart run wild...it was Firdaus calling.

His chief lover.
