“I think we should call him with my second number and if the strange woman picks, I will pretend to be a business client waiting for him at the office. That way, we should be able to talk to him”. Okay, I just want to talk to Jude and squeeze life out of him. Jedi replied.
Sophia: Hello
Strange woman: How can I help you
Sophia: I will like to speak with Mr Jude
Strange woman: who are you?
Silence
Strange woman: Hello, I said who are you?
Sophia: Well, this is Mrs. Bruce his business partner kindly put him on the phone
Strange woman: He will not be able to talk to you now but he will get back to you.
Sophia: Kindly tell him he has just 30 minutes to get back to me or I will call off the deal and get my money back. Bye. (drops the call).
“Now we just have to wait for him to call back” The two friends sat down on the chair staring at the phone on the table in front of them.
. . . .
Dropping the phone back on the bed. She hurriedly dressed up, packed her things and removed the fifty thousand Jude had in his wallet. Then she hesitated, and left a thousand naira for his transportation with a note:
“Hello handsome, welcome back from paradise, am sure you enjoyed your self last night, well, if you can’t remember kindly check the bathroom. Mrs Bruce called and she is waiting for you. For your own safety, don’t try to look for me”
All what Jude could remember correctly was going into the bar to have a drink with the beautiful stranger after getting down from the bus. He taught his brain was playing some tricks on him feeling like he just woke up from a trance. ‘Not so ‘Rather, it was the beautiful stranger that played some dirty tricks to sleep with him and rip him of some cash. For the strange woman, she carefully targets and seduce her victims drug them and rapes them. (Strange you say… Well, women now rape men). It was quite unfortunate that Jude fell into her trap that day.
He picked up the note beside him on the bed, checks his phone and Suddenly, he screamed NO! NO! God! How did this happen to me? Oh my wife! Jude dialed the last number on his call log:
Jude: Hello
Sophia: Mr Jude why did you do this to your wife?
Jude: Please who am I speaking to? Am so confused right now
Jedi snapped the phone out of her friend’s hands,
“Jude you left me for a strange woman, My God will Jugde you.
Jude: Honey am so sorry, please I will explain when I see you.
They have only been married for 2 years and now, there is an accidental infidelity.
Jedi had been lying on the floor for about 30 minutes before Sophia came and revived her. She looked straight into her friend’s eyes, then bursted into tears again. “I can’t take this, why will Jude do this to me even with my condition”
Sophia looked at her perplexed still oblivion of the situation. “okay, please calm down and tell me what happened”. You won’t believe another woman texted me with my husband’s phone telling me not to look for him and he is going to be with her for along. “What on earth! The audacity!” Men never cease to amaze me. Can you just imagine, So Jude has been cheating on me all this while. I just want to die.
Sophia turned to her friend, how can you even think like that Jedi, die because of a man. Not when am here. Nevertheless, we can’t conclude without hearing from your husband. There should be an explanation for this. But, we need to go and see the doctor today. No Sophy, just forget it I don’t want to see anyone till I hear from Jude.
Sophia collected Jedi’s phone and put a call across to her husband. Eight times the phone rang and there was no response. At this point, Mrs Boris was almost going crazy. “I knew it, he won’t pick, If I ever see him I will kill him and kill myself” Jedi calm down please, just put yourself together and let’s think of a way to get through this strange woman that has captured your man. After pacing up and down the well furnished living room, an idea popped up in Sophia’s head…
So it was a bright and sunny day.Woke up quite early than not too usual and I Wasn’t comfortable. It was the first working day of a new week. And, I got to work a bit early.
Something was just not right. I was literally angered throughout the day Can’t even explain. While many of it was not intentional, Some were deliberate. After work I got a free ride from the junction of my office to a place close to my residence. I got down from the vehicle to be embarrassed by some uncouth drivers passing remarks about my “ass” (never experienced that in a along time)
Boarded another tricycle, then met someone I know, but hardly talk So we started talking, “Are you staying alone?” I stay alone. “oh me am staying with my aunt” Then I started “talking things am not even asked” I was embarrassed by myself when I got home. Why was I just downloading like.. I mean, was I trying to be impressive? She hardly said something unless I asked her.
I am beginning to think I need to take hold of my tongue. I shouldn’t try to make by force friend or be impressive.
