Baby!! Anjolaoluwa! Guess what? Anjola! I ran in expecting to see the woman of my dreams, the house feels strangely empty. Then reality hit me, she is gone! I really broke that table last night. We had a very serious argument last night and i ended up calling her names. Ok! She called me a selfish bastard first so i got angry and called her a useless good for nothing fool amongst other things. I just said that in the heat of the moment, i didn't mean it. You see, Anjolaoluwa is that special breed. When you talk about women, Anjola is a phenomenal woman though she can be very dramatic, can be stubborn atimes but she has a good heart and i won't trade her for anything in the world.
The past week has been emotionally traumatic for both of us. It started with Anjola getting suspended from work pending when a fraud investigation is completed. My baby swears she didn't do anything bad other than sign a document a trusted colleague brought. You see, i trust Anjolaoluwa, she would have been the end of me if she was a bad person. While we dated, i could keep millions in her account and not a kobo would miss. She is disciplined to a fault. There was a time she had to make some transactions so she took a little out of the money in the account. I think she took sixty thousand naira out of the 3.6million naira i kept in her account. She came in shivering like a wet chicken and knelt down,
"ma binu oko mi, jo mo lo 60k ni nu owo e."
"I was like really? Its fine joor."
So the next day i credited her account with 80 thousand naira so she would also have money to spend as i knew she wouldn't touch my money unless she was broke. Can you believe this 'obokun' returned the 80 thousand naira i sent to her when she received her salary? I had to call and confront her
"Are you saying i can't give you money?" Her stubbornness took over,
"i don't want your money!" she said.
That hit me hard. It was like being slapped suddenly at the back of the head!
"Are we fighting?" I asked.
She replied, "we might as well be!
You want to bribe me with money? Do you think i am after your money?"
"Anjola, where are these things coming from?" I asked, shocked at how my wanting to give her money turned into a crime. That's just Anjola for you. Another one was she had a customer's money in her bag but still trekked home from work as she was broke.
So i know she would not do fraud, that's not my woman. That same week, i have had to travel to Abuja three times to follow up on a contract i was chasing. Due to this, i wasn't around to console her but i had my own issues too. She was suspended on Tuesday, the contract fell through on Friday. I was devastated, i had spent too much time, effort and money trying to get this contract. I could not even tell her as this would compound her already escalating woes but it was eating me up inside.
On Sundays, we make dinner together and we explore wherever making of dinner takes us to (if you know what i mean). But today, it was different. Everywhere felt so empty which made me feel eerie, so i laid on the couch in the sitting room staring at the TV unsure of my next move. She served the table and we ate in silence. In an attempt to bring up a discussion, i asked her about her friend that keeps curving a guy that wants to marry her. She said the guy is still on her friend's case.
I laughed and said, "tell Bola to do quick joor before her boobi touch her belle like Kiss Daniel said." She smiled. I had not seen that smile in five days and that made me happy.
"I am happy, you smiled", i said. After a few seconds, i added, "Babes, i want to travel tomorrow morning. I want to check up on the contract again. I need to see if there's more i can do. You know this will pull me into the big leagues."
"Ok". She said and started packing the dishes. "On a second thought," sounding iffy, she said "Mosope, please stay with me, i can't stay alone like this. Moreover, your partner can sort this out, you have been there three times this week already. Let him go too."
"Baby, i know. Please i just want to show my face and remind them i am here. I really need that contract."
"Ok then you can go". She hollered. "You are such a selfish person, money is all you ever think of, selfish bastard!"
"Haha? Ki la gbe, ki le ju?" I said, surprised at her affront.
She replied with selfish man and clapped to my face.
"Useless good for nothing fool, just small understanding i asked for, i cannor get." I bellowed.
I stomped off but after a few minutes i felt remorseful.
"Anjola, i am sorry, ma binu si mi.
Please forgive me." I said knocking on the bedroom door.
I tried opening the bedroom door but she had locked it from the inside. I could hear her crying in the room. "Jesus! What have i done? I kept begging her but she didn't open the door". I kept calling her phone which she didn't pick so I slept off by the bedroom door. Around 5am Monday morning, i got a call from my partner saying there was a new development concerning the contract and my presence was needed.
"Bayo mi o le wa! I have things to fix, sort it out!" I said out of frustration.
"The Chairman wants to see you.
I replied, "which chairman?"
"NERC Chairman na!"
"Ehen? Why? Shebi im no give us contract wetin im want?" I questioned angrily.
"Im sha talk say im wan see you." Bayo replied sounding impatient.
"Ok". I thought i could breeze in and out.
"Where?" I asked with rejuvenated interest.
"Im house for bourdillon!"Bayo replied sounding irritated. " Wo! the address dey your WhatsApp, your wahala too much. Go see somebody jor!"
"I go go see am." I replied and hurriedly ended the call.
"Anjolaoluwa! Good morning."
No answer. She must still be pissed at me.
"Babes, shebi mo ti bee? Jo, Ma binu".
I tried opening the door, i realised it was still locked. I took my bath in the visitors room, used salt water solution for my mouth and luckily found a befitting attire to visit the chairman with.
I knocked on our bedroom door again and begged,
"Anjola, o de jo, ma binu. I know i said too much. Please forgive me. I can't take it when you are angry at me."
I heard sniffles.
"Ok Baby. Please i want to step out. The chairman of NERC just requested my presence. I would be back shortly. Take care of yourself for me. Just so you know i am not travelling again."


I got home hoping to give her the good news that i finally won the contract but i could not find her anywhere. I called her phone, it was switched off. Now i am starting to get scared, i checked all the rooms but she wasn't there. I put my hands on my head, delirium creeping on me. "Has she has left me? but shebi i have been begging her? She cannot do this!" I tried her phone again, it wasn't reachable. My heart tore to shreds that very moment and tears started dropping from my eyes like rainfall on glass. I heard the door open while i was trying to call her mom. With my tears stained face, i ran to the door. Anjola was there with her ever beautiful face smiling at me.
"I thought you had left me."
She smiled, "me leave you? Missed call, ko jo! I love you though you do some stupid things I don't understand nigbami. Have you been crying?"
I quickly cleaned my face.
"Ase o ti le? I went to see the detectives handling the fraud issue ma ni. Those guys are daft! Wo, that's story for later, shey o ti jeun?"
"Nope, i don't have appetite," I said.
"shey you will suck breast?" she asked with a naughty smile on her face and her hands cupping her breasts.
"Stop joor, not yet sha," i paused, "i got the contract!" I screamed with all the excitement i could muster.
She broke into a dance then she said, "i spent the whole of last night praying for you. I knew you would get it."
Imagine that woman! I said " Tell me why won't i bring down the heaven for this woman?"

That ends the PG13 version of this story��.
