I’m an introvert ’cause I have been staying on my side for more than five years and had no friends because I don’t like the shege I saw from friends before I relocated to my new side. It was enough, so I did not interact with anyone here. I’m a Muslim, and last year Ramadan, I went to the mosque and all that. Last year Ramadan, I met a lady; she is married to one of the guys in the mosque sha. The guy is actually nice, and he also gives people things, nah, you grab. So I became friends with her for the first time because I really like, not like I’m a lesbian, abeg. So I really liked her and wanted her to be my friend sha. So I don’t usually cook; instead, I use Jumia food to order food. Whenever I order food, I always get snacks for her. I did this like thrice or more, sha. Like, I like her very much. Seems I forgot to say I am a freelancer, so she has some niche; that was why she actually became friends with me.
But I want us to be closer than that. Then there was a time NEPA did not bring light, so my mom went to their place to charge. Like, she will knock and give her husband the phone. She is staying on the same street as mine. So, the thing is like this: my battery was also low, so I went to their place to charge too. That is the first time I entered their compound because, as I said, I don’t like interacting with people. She told me to come in so I can sit down and charge. I was actually happy when I heard this because I will be able to press my phone. I greeted her husband and followed her to the kitchen. So she showed me where to charge; it is also inside the kitchen, and she was cooking too. So, when she was measuring the rice, I was like, “Is that not too much?” She smiled and told me that her husband’s friends will also come around, so they will eat.
So, I asked her if they come to her house every day. She said yes. I was like, “So she cooks like this every day?” She shrugged and said yes. I was like, “WTF? If they want a maid, can’t they hire one?” But I decided not to say anything before they say I want to spoil their marriage. I finished eating, and my phone was also full as well, so I helped her wash the plates before I went back to my house. I have her number, and we do chat on WhatsApp. So I suddenly realized that she has become distant on WhatsApp. Whenever I bring up a conversation, she will not say anything about it. And I tried a few more times, and when I realized that I am the only one putting the energy and she is not, I decided to stop too. ‘Cause I have better things to do. So, there was a time her husband saw me and collected my number. I did not think too much about it.
So we did not chat or anything at first. So I posted a meme on my status, so he replied. He asked why I was single; I said I cannot allow one boy to control me. He was like, “That is it? That is how women think, bla bla.” So, I was like, “If what the guy says makes sense, I will listen to him and all that.” So he was like, “Maybe we should meet and discuss this?” On my mind, I was like, “WTF?” But I did not want to say anything. Make e no be like say I dey overthink am, so I decided to ask where? He said at a hotel. My head just sparked when I heard this. I was like, “Ahhh, and I sabi your wife o? I really take his wife as my sis, fr.” I acted along and said, “When?” He was like, “Maybe tomorrow.” So I said, “Okay, no problem.” When tomorrow reached, he messaged me and asked if I was ready. Maybe I should come and meet him at the bus stop, so he will drive us there.
I immediately stopped replying to his messages since that day. I greet him sometimes, and whenever I try to greet his wife, she will use her nose to reply, so I stopped greeting them, sha. My point is this: his wife was using iPhone 6 or 6s last year when we were talking, while the husband dey use like 14 pro max or 13 pro max, I’m not sure. And his status was always filled with enjoyment stuffs, nah, since he is a yahoo guy. This year, the phone she is using now is a button phone, while the husband still dey use big phone? WTF??? The husband’s friend dey use three iPhones, he no fit advice him friend to buy phone for his wife? Like I just feel like she might be going through a lot in the marriage, but I don’t know how to approach her. The girl is actually very nice; whenever she makes sense, she always makes mine and will call me to come and collect it. But I don’t know what to do.
