Chapter 2: Chapter 2
On our way to my cousin’s house, I saw beauty, I saw extremely beautiful people, no wonder nobody looked my cousin’s way, there I realized that my cousin no fine like that oo, haba. Then I also realized that my cousin’s nose is a bit confused, she has big lips, with giant pimple on her chin.
So we got to her house, the building happen to be very high, I wondered how we would climb that 10 storey building with her flat on the 9th floor, mogbe!. I watched her as she carried her bag, I followed her to know how she would transport us to the 9th floor. She pressed something, and a door opened, i entered with her. Inside that place, I met one cute and rich looking guy, a couple, and two ladies, my cousin greeted them, I greeted them too. In my mind, I was earnestly waiting for the magic. My cousin pressed 9, immediately I felt a vibration. I couldn’t hold myself, I was screaming “Chinekee Chineke, o tu a kam ji jee?(God God, is this how I would go?), my cousin was already looking embarrassed, she tried to close my mouth, but I was screaming, everyone laughed until we got to the 9th floor, my cousin stepped out and I did, together with the cute guy and the couple, the other two ladies went up.
My cousin did not talk to me, she walked straight to her flat, when she opened it, I stood still with mouth agape for 2 minutes, do you know why? My cousin is a scammer. Anytime she come to my house for Christmas, she would act as if the whole world is against her survival, she would act as if she doesn’t have anything. She would help us get firewood from the farm, cook with firewood, in fact my mother always give her money because she always tell my mother that the bank don’t want to pay them. She lives in a two bedroom flat in Lekki, tastefully and beautifully furnished with the biggest television I have ever seen. Immediately she saw the look on my face, she warned me not to tell anybody at home how she is living. We packed the bags inside the house, my cousin ordered for food because she was too tired to cook, meanwhile, I laid down on the bed, inside my room(my cousin said it was my room) to sleep, I was so exhausted. Even when they brought the food, I was too exhausted to eat, i was too exhausted to even talk, that was my longest trip, ever and it wasn’t funny.
The next day was Monday, my cousin woke up by 6am to prepare for work, I know bankers wake up early for work. By 7am, she was ready to leave, i was in the sitting room watching movie when I heard a knock on the door, I had to open the door to know the person knocking. Behold, it was that cute rich looking guy I met inside the elevator(my cousin told me the name to that thing). He introduced himself as Henry, I told him my name, Erica. He happened to be my cousin next door neighbor, so he handed his key to me because he was on his way to work, he gave me instruction that his sister, Rita would be coming by, 2pm, that I should give her the key, i agreed, he left for work. Let me describe Henry, he is tall, he has body, he is fair, he is really cute and he has a job, Henry is the lady’s man and he is comfortable. Sometimes I wonder why he doesn’t notice my sister, but after six months, I realized that some things are not what they look like. My cousin left for work, she was looking so dashing in her mini skirt, heel, beautiful top showing her cleavage , maybe “ that is the work dress pattern in Lagos”, so I thought. I was home alone. I watched movie, but before I learnt how to operate that television and dstv, it was a thug of war. My cousin had to teach me every single thing before she left for work and she gave me one instruction “do not touch the gas, if you need anything, take it from the fridge and microwave it”, I swear, life in Lagos is very easy….so I thought.
By 2pm, I heard a knock on the door, I knew who the person was, Rita, Henry’s sister. Rita is short, dark and ugly, even her makeup did not add a little beauty, but the only good thing is that Rita has big breast and big ass. I looked at Rita for 3 minutes to identify the resemblance between her and Henry. Rita tapped me and asked me for the key Henry dropped with me, I quickly apologized for the delay and handed the key to Rita, she didn’t even thank me, but who cares, I heard Lagos people especially ladies are rude and proud, and i must adapt, so I sighed and banged the door, though she did not hear it because she was already inside, but i wish she did, I went back to my movie.
