章 116: The Cast
Justin moved closer to Aazim. “I guess we met once.” Justin said.
“Yes, we did on your…wedding day.” He said. “I am like her big brother.”
“I can see.” Justin said. “Are you based here?”
“Yes, I am. That was my father, Alhaji Tofa, former….” “Governor.” Justin completed his sentence.
“I recognize him.” Justin said.
“I guess you are enjoying the marital life.”
“Yes, I am.” Justin replied. “Especially when you are married to a lady who loves you so much.” Aazim felt a pain.
“That is true. You see, I like you and I will be frank with you.” He went on. “I have known your wife since we were kids. Her father and my father have been together since they were young men. I will tell you that she is a nice girl . I just advise you to be watchful.” Aazim said.
“Watchful?” “Yes. She is obsessed with one low life guy.”
“Oh my God!” Justin exclaimed.
“A thief and one who had no origin.” Aazim said.
“How is that possible?” Justin asked.
“We had a dinner like this once and he was asked to introduce himself. He could not tell where he was from, or who his parents were.” “Damn!” “He dropped out of primary three, worked as a bread seller and security man and later as my messenger before I sacked him.” Aazim continued.
“Your messenger?” Justin asked.
“Yes, my father bought the place for me. I mean the bakery where he worked so I demoted him to a messenger.”
“It seems you disliked him.” Justin said.
“He was going to destroy my sister’s life.” Aazim responded.
“Hmmmm…She must have loved him and that gets me jealous.” Justin said and chuckled inwardly.
“She still l does. I am scared if he shows up today, you will face problems.” Aazim said.
“I pray he does not. What happened to him?” Justin asked.
“Who knows? Maybe in one prison or grave. You know how these criminals end up.” Aazim responded.
“Yeah, I know how idiots end up. So how is the confectionary going?” Justin asked.
“I am facing a lot of challenges. I never had experience in the business and it is not moving well. I’m thinking of something else.”
“Why did you go into it?” Justin asked.
“I just wanted it badly. I spend a lot and the money from the business cannot keep me.” He responded.
“I have an offer.” Justin said. “How much is the confectionary worth?”
“About one hundred and fifty million naira.” Aazim responded.
“I will buy it for two hundred million and then give you an offer. We have a construction firm based in Germany. We are the only ones who use DIR machines so there is high demand of our services. I can make you a subcontractor. You will oversee the affairs of Nigeria and we have monopoly over the knowledge. Justin said.
“Government deals with us because we are cheaper and got no contest.” “What is the name of the company?” Justin asked.
“Nanad.” Aazim did a quick thinking. This was a cool way of making money. He had tried to sell the confectionary for hundred million naira but had no buyer. This was a golden chance.
Things were not as rosy as they used to be. He did not need to think twice about this. “I did not intend to sell the confectionary. “He lied. “But you are my sister’s husband. I will do you the favour.” He said.
“Thank you.” “And for the offer, I will not turn it down. What are the requisite factors?” he asked.
“You will write an application letter to my company for approval, and terms and conditions stated. You will have thirty per cent of each contract but you must be around for at least two hours daily at the sites.”
“Okay. I think I need……” “You will have to visit the office for more details.” Addy and his wife joined them.
“How are you, Aazim?” Addy said to Aazim as if he was talking to his younger brother and Aazim was older. “I am fine, Addy.” Aazim said.
“I will see you, Jubril. I have to join my wife.” (Aazim never knew he just had a conversation with the Justin he had always hated and despised).
“Thank you for the advice.” Justin said and Aazim left. He did not like being at the same place with Addy. “Addy was intimidating and uncouth. They knew he was more powerful, pulling international power and stupendously rich. Lori excused herself to join the other ladies.
“I can see it worked out for you.” Addy said.
“It did.”
“So how did it go?” Addy asked.
“What?” Justin asked.
“The first time. I mean how you got her.”
“Tell you how I made love to my wife?”
“Now you are acting like these antiquated niggaz. What the fuc*k is there? I can tell you what Lori…..” Addy stated.
“It was good Addy and it ends there.” Justin said feeling disgusted.

“You keep mentioning Justin. What do you know about this Justin?”
There was a grave silence as the three men awaited Aminu to start talking. They sat on chairs at the top balcony. Aminu cleared his throat.
