Chapter 19
......Stan turned to me hearing Ehi was at the door,I told him he can't let her know I was in his place,I quickly went to the kitchen,while he goes to open the door for her...
Oh Ehi, how are you doing, Stan asked,as she walked Into the living room,, Stan i am not fine,not fine at all,she said....
Calm down Ehi,by the way meet my fiancee, Chioma,babe meet Ehi, AD's wife,I introduced....
Oh nice meeting you, Chioma said...
Thank you very much nice meeting you too, Ehi hurriedly replied, Stan,I haven't seen my husband since yesterday morning,this is very much unlike AD, he'd never sleep out no matter what,and to make matters worse,he isn't at your place, neither is he at Ken's,oh God what could have happened,and his phone was ringing yesterday,even though he wasn't picking, but as we speak,his phone has been switched off, Ehi explained like she was in so much worry....
What game is this lady up to,I thought within,see how dramatic she's been, acting like she cares,when deep down she's happy I am gone, women, women are just so dramatic,I thought where I was.....
Ehi you have to calm down,I am as worried as you are, AD is my brother you know,but we can't be worried and pessimistic ,let hope that he's fine where ever he is, Stan said...
Do you think we should report the situation to the police,I mean,we can make a formal complainnnnnnnnnnnnnn,she said.
Calm down Ehi,I am sure AD is fine,by the way,what happened before be left the house,I mean was there an argument, quarreling or whatsoever,did you do something,or say something that may have gotten him angry, Stan asked.....
No,not at all,we had a little argument the night before,when I heard he was fired from work,I was very angry at him for letting himself sacked knowing how difficult it is to get a job,I was angry at him,but it was a normal husband and wife argument,we even went to bed together,I woke up and went to my mother's room as she wanted to have a discussion with me,only for me to return to our bedroom and he wasn't there.i thought he probably had an interview to catch up with,I started getting so worried this morning when he didn't come all through yesterday and his phone ringing but no answer and finally switched off,, Ehi explained...
Ehi just go home and relax,maybe he's somewhere trying to figure the whole situation of Lossing his job,you know,it isn't easy getting a good job in the city of Lagos, but trust me, AD is fine where ever he is, Stan said..
Okay then,if you say so,let me be on my way,but please if you hear anything or he calls you, please do let me know,she said...
Of course I will,my sister bye,she said to Chioma,have a nice day, Chioma replied.....
I could hear both her and Stan walking to the door and soon the door was shut,I then came out....
Your wife is worried about you man, Stan said....
Which wife, I heard everything,that woman is full of drama,see her acting like she cares,you and I know that's just a drama presentation....I said
So man are you saying you won't be going home anymore, Stan asked...
Are you asking me out of your house already,I asked him in shock....
Which talk you dey talk sef,is my house not your house,I am just wondering what the game plan is,you can't continue to stay away,she might go to the police saying you are missing,abi you wan dey see your face for TV and fliers as missing person, Stan asked...
Hmmmm guy's what's going on here,I am lost, Chioma said....
My love,is kind of complicated,it's husband and wife wahala, Stan replied her...
Okay guys,just take things easy, I'd be Inside,she said as she went in to the bedroom and soon to the kitchen...
But guy,what do you want to do, Stan asked me.....
I am confused, honestly I am,I was heart broken,but then,on a second thought,it was no idea of Ehi,but the mother,the mother is the architect of my problems,I feel I should play along,and see if Ehi would do that which her mother asked her to do,I would want to know her own stand,I said...
Very well then,I think that's a good one,since the mother already asked her to get another man, let's keep a close monitor on her,and see if she'd do that, Stan said...
Thanks man, you've been very helpful,I said..
Common, what are brothers for if not for inconveniences , Stan said...
You no well at all,I teased....
Soon Chioma came to inform us that food was ready,we ate,and it was a sumptuous meal of Jollof rice.....
The next day,I called Chi to bring my car, that I'd want to go home,she was surprised,and drove to Stan's in less than an hour....
Amadi,you said you want to return home?,she asked....
Oh yes,I replied.....
Are you sure it's the right time,I mean,are you mentally ready to face your wife, cause if you'd ask me, I'd say you stay longer at Stan's,she said....
Thanks so much Chidera,you have been very supportive, but I can take it up from here,I said....
Okay then,if you say so,she replied walking towards the door...
Where are you going, aren't you going to wait so you could ride with Stan to the office,I asked...
Just then Stan came out, good morning Chi, he greeted..
Good morning Stan....
Chi wait and ride with Stan to the office,I repeated....
Oh no, I am going to the house,I need to take my mom to the park,I already called the GM that I'd be running late,she said..
Very well then,you could use my car,I wouldn't mind going home in the evening after you have return from work, I said...
No no no, thanks alot AD,but am fine, I'd take a taxi cab,she said...
Okay then,take care, I'd call you,I said,as she walked out.....
Am I the only one seeing something,or is my mind playing some games with me, Stan said....
Waiting you dey talk Oga,I asked him...

Okay oh,matter wey them say make papa no hear,las las na papa dey settle am, Stan said....
I gave a long sarcastic hiss,and went in to freshen up,as Stan and his fiancee were going to work,I too drove home....
While driving,I had so many thoughts going in my head,can I really live comfortably in that house seeing Ehi,and especially her mother,how do I even intend to fine out Ehi's stands in all these,so many questions but no answers.....
I soon got home,and knocked,and iye came to open the door....
I stood looking at her,what did I do to this woman exactly,how evil can she be,she was looking at me strangely, wondering what has gotten into me I guess,that I wasn't talking,not even a word of salutation,,she quickly called her daughter....
Ehiwenma, Ehiwenma,larre ohhh,she called,and Ehi came out,she rushed to me, and hugged me,where have you been,what happened to you,I mean how you okay,what is it,she asked...
I didn't say a word to her either,I just walked into the bedroom,and both mother and daughter were Starring like they met a ghost
