Episode 2
...She was looking so young, like someone in her late 20's.
'Good day ma'am ' I greeted
'Good day sir' she replied gently.
'Sorry, you have bl00dstains on your dress, I mean your stomach area. Are you ok?' I queried.
'Yes, I am ok in Christ' she replied standing still with gaze fixed.
I looked at Damian her son, he hadn't touched his food but there was something about his mom which I was very sure of, my instincts never fail.
'You look unhappy ma, is anything the problem?'
She managed to smile.
'No problems sir, thanks so much for your concern' she replied.a
I nodded but I was still not convinced, then I turned to Damian.
'You still haven't touched your food little man, but you said you were hungry?' I queried.
'Yes I am, but I can't eat all alone without my mom. She doesn't eat with me. Uncle can you please tell her to eat with me today? We haven't eaten together for months now' he said.
I turned to his mom on hearing that.
'Madam, why haven't you eaten with him for months now? I don't understand, is it that you eat alone or you do not eat at all?' I teased, laughing.
'But on a serious note, why don't you eat with Damian?' I added.
She smiled...
'I eat, but I don't eat his kind of food' she said.
'Ok, you eat foods like?' I queried.
She smiled again...
'Never mind sir' she said.
'No please, let me mind. Let me buy you something else so you can at least eat with him' I said.
'Never mind sir, I'll eat later. God bless you ' she said with gaze still fixed.
I dipped my hand inside my pocket and brought out 1000 Naira from the money my friend gave me, and I stretched forth the money to her.
'Thanks so much for your kindness, you can give it to Damian sir' she said.
'Ok' I said, then handed the money to Damian.
'Uncle thank you ' Damian said, then he grabbed the plate of food and started to devour it while his mom stood before him watching him eat.
'Damian, I'll see you some other time' I said bidding him and his mom farewell.
I kept looking back at both of them as I walked down the street. She didn't look like someone whom life was fair to, same as Damian her son.
'Maybe selling oranges is her hustle' I thought to myself.
I arrived home that day with the thoughts of them. As soon as I entered my compound I saw that my landlord's daughter coming out of their room in a very tight gown, revealing the shape of her 'frontier' and her 'bright future '. She started walking towards me and I paused, started to smile sheepishly.
I continued staring at her and smiling, then her mom called her from inside and she turned to answer her to properly reveal the shape of her 'bright future'.
I didn't bother to listen to what the mom had to say to her cos she said it at the top of her voice. I didn't want any destractions from what I was seeing and admiring.

She turned again when the mom was done talking to her, and started approaching again. I was still standing there smiling like a lost sheep. Then she started rolling her eyes at me, with her long lashes like that of my grandfathers handfan, then she deliberately bumped into me.
'Abeg shift let me pass' she fumed, pushing me aside.
'Ah ah Lara, ma pa mi now (don't kill me)' I said, as she twisted her wa!st from side to side and her butto cks kept on colliding with each other as she walked.
'Chai, this girl is fine sha, complete package' I said tapping my head three times while on my way to my own room.
Then I finally arrived my room to this smell of concoction rice made by Donatus.
'Baba, you can go and dish food o' he said.
'I'm not hungry yet, when I'm hungry I'll eat' I said, undress!ng.
'No vex' he replied scooping the hot rice from his plate into his mouth.
'Chai guy, remember that little boy I saw this morning? I saw him again on my way back with his mom' I said.
Donatus started laughing so hard.
'Woman m0nger! don't tell me you've started falling for the woman again cos this your eyes and women are 5 and 6'
'Guy stop jor, I'm serious this time. You needed to see the lady. She looked so unhappy, so gloomy, she couldn't even eat with her son when I bought him food. And do you know what baffles me the most? She had this two bl00d stains on her dress'
'Ah, how? And she wasn't bleed!ng?' Donatus queried.
'Not at all, just the blo0d stains. I even called her attention to it and she told me she was ok in Christ. What does that one mean?' I questioned.
'Ok in Christ? I don't know what it means o, maybe she's a born again' Donatus said, chuckling.
'Na wah o' I let out.
The following day, I strolled out again to see my aboki friend. I asked him if Damian and his mom came around.
'Who be Damian? (Who is Damian?)' he queried.
'That little boy I asked you to make noodles for yesterday' I said.
'Ok, noo I no see am ( I didn't see him). But, who in his or her right senses would allow such a small boy to be selling oranges? Where's his mother? Did you ask him' my aboki friend queried.
'He was here with his mom yesterday' I said.
'For real? I didn't see her. I even bought oranges from him the day before. I started seeing him here just two days ago ' he added.
Well, after taking noodles and a cup of tea, I was there when Akoji my friend called, and asked me to meet him up at a bar somewhere.
I took a bus, I was in the bus when I saw the little boy walking down the street with a trey of oranges on his head while his mom walked behind him.
I quickly asked the bus driver to stop, paid him, alighted the bus, crossed the road to the other side and went straight to them.
'Damian, how are you? Madam good day' I greeted.
'Isn't the sun too scorching for this?' I queried, then my phone rang.
I brought out my phone from my pocket, but the phone slipped off my hand. I was picking it up when suddenly I looked in between my legs, I almost passed out due to what I saw.
I looked up immediately, and then looked in between my legs again, then I took to my heels.
It happened that, when I looked in between my legs I could no longer see Damian's Mom. But when I looked up, there she was, standing right behind her son...
