the cook. Her food wasn’t as delicious as
that of sikirat, but it was manageable.
Janet was something else, she would act
strict and bossy whenever madam was
around, she would insult me and shout at
me to the extent that her mummy would
beg me to ignore and disregard her. But
after her mummy’s departure to work and
gideon’s departure to school, the
compound would become a sex zone. We
would dance, bleep, gist, eat and end it
with tutorial sessions. On many
occasions, we would be running around
the house while Unclad.
Throughout the first week, I missed
sikirat so much that I do call her
frequently. But in the second week, the
passion for sikirat reduced drastically as
janet was killing me with love and
romance. I had to switch off my phone or
placed it on silence whenever janet is
around me.
Three weeks gone, sikirat hadn’t returned
and next weekend is jamb examination.
Throughout the week, I was busy
preparing janet for exam, its was then
that I learnt her centre was in Ibadan and
she would have to travel on friday
morning and lodge at her uncle’s
residence in Ibadan. I talked to my
friends who are into examinations “runs”
to send answers to me during the exam
which I planed to send to janet without
madam’s knowledge
because I was very sure we didn’t prepare
very well for the exams.
On friday morning, madam told me to
follow her in her car, she would drop me
at her friend’s store to get some items
for janet before she leaves for ibadan. As
we were driving in her car, she kept
patting my laps at interval whenever we
discussed something funny. We had
series of discussion about sikirat’s
mother who died, about janet and jamb,
about how I see her
house,she told me I will be helping with
cooking pending janet’s arrival, she
asked about my girlfriend of which I kept
smiling at intervals and she kept patting
my laps. She finally dropped me at a
supermarket and had a private discussion
with the shop owner and she left.
The super mart owner gave me tin of
milk and milo, soaps, and some other gift
items. I returned home on a bike, Janet
picked out of the items I brought and she
left for the garage which I
followed her. After her took off, I
returned home. I don’t know where to put
the remaining items I brought from the
supermart so I took everything into my
room waiting for madam to arrive and
sort them out.
At about 6pm, janet called to inform me
about her successful journey. She told
me to go to the kitchen and see the food
timetable for that night. “Chaiii, I don
turn house boy for here, see wetin
sikirat’s absence don cause”. I placed a
call to sikirat for guide lines on how to
prepare porridge which was on the time
table, sikirat laughed at me to the
extreme on the phone. She
even flattered me saying “I pray make
aunty janet spend one week so dat u go
be the cook for a whole week”. I followed
her instructions and prepared the
porridge. Gideon was so spoilt that
he couldn’t boil an ordinary water. His
laziness made the whole cooking
stressful.
I served myself and gideon because
madam hadn’t arrived from the bank.
After eating dinner, I went to bed
immediately at around 7:30pm because I
was so tired. At few minutes past 8pm,I
heard madam’s voice in the living room. I
overheard her chatting with gideon about
dinner and the person who cooked it.
I overheard her commenting on the food
as she was eating. She asked of me from
gideon and she was told I had gone to
bed. She bid gideon “goodnight” and
went into her room.
20minutes after madam entered her
room. My phone ranged. I looked at the
screen and it was madam calling. I
picked it.
ME: hello ma.
MADAM: onihaxy the international cook
ME: **laughed** I only tried my little best
ma
MADAM: you tried sha. But janet and
sikirat will beat you in cooking any day

ME: ***laughed back*** ok ma, I will

MADAM: ok dear. meanwhile, where are
the bathing soaps you brought from the
supermart, I couldn’t find it in the
bathroom.
ME: its with me ma, I don’t know where I
will drop them so I took them to my
room.
MADAM: ohhh God!!!. I need it urgently
to take my bath with it. Please bring one
into my room right away
ME: ***amazed***, ok ma, I’m coming
right away.
