DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
EPISODE 2
Shana was carried away thinking of what to do
that she didn’t hear Femi end the call and open the
door, startling her. He was also frightened when he
bumped into her for he was not expecting her to
be eavesdropping on his phone conversation since
he left her sleeping.
Femi: “Gosh you scared me. What are you doing
here? Are you not supposed to be sound asleep by
this time?”
Shana remained rooted on the spot and couldn’t
find her voice.
Femi: “Have you gone deaf? What is wrong with
you?”
Shana: “Ah, erm…er..I mean. Yes, I was sleeping
when I had this terrible nightmare and woke up
with a start. I didn’t see you on the bed so I
thought of checking on you in there”, she pointed
at the restroom from where' he came.
Femi: “Are you a kid? What sort of nightmare is it
that got you so scared you couldn’t wait for me to
come out of the toilet?”
Shana: “I wanted to tell you about it before I
forget. You know how I easily forget nightmares. I
was just about knocking when you opened the
door”.
Femi: “You mean you just got to the door when I
came out?”
Shana: “Yes?”
Femi: “Like you didn’t listen to my cal…I mean you
weren’t eavesdropping on my conversation?”
Shana: “What conversation are you talking about? I
thought you went to ease yourself, were you
talking in the toilet?” she feigned ignorance.
Femi: “Me talk in the toilet? No o. I don’t even
know what I am saying. In fact, I think I am sleep
walking. Lets get back to sleep”, he kissed her on
the forehead and led her to bed.
Few minutes later, he was already snoring. Shana
was wide awake wondering when and how Femi
learnt to lie this smoothly. As she was thinking, she
felt her anger rise to her throat and she felt the
strong urge to pull his duvet from his head and talk
sense into his head but she held her calm for she
knew that anger would not yield any positive
result in this case.
The next morning, she was still asleep when Femi
got ready and drove out of the house. She had
pretended to be fast asleep when he grabbed his
phone and left in a hurry without giving her a peck
on the forehead like he always did and this broke
her heart the more.
====
Femi got to the office in good time to get himself
ready for the business of the day. They were
recruiting fresh bankers to fill different vacant
positions of marketers, tellers and customer relation
officers. As the branch manager of one of the most
popular branches of the bank, he and the human
resource team were going to conduct the
interview. This was the second phase of the
screening process after the aptitude tests that they
had subjected candidates to. He was dressed in a
black tuxedo that gave him the fitting of his life. As
soon as he drove into the bank premises where'
the interview was to hold, the security men saluted
him and directed him to the parking area reserved
for staff. One of the security men went to his
colleague at their duty post.
Security 1: “Shebi this oga wey drive enter so na
Garki 1 branch manager? Why him no get driver?
Other managers get drivers na”.
Security 2: “My brother, the thing heavy me for
mouth to talk seff. Them say bank give am driver
but him no dey gree make the man drive am
because he want to drive himself as per say
driving na im hobby”.
Security 1: “Which kind yeye hobby. Him never talk
the reason why he no want get driver, the truth go
soon commot”.
Security 2: “Shhh. Keep your tongue inside your
mouth o, e be like say this job don tire you that is
why you dey yarn anyhow”.
====
When the human resource team settled down to
the interview proper, the applicants were called in
one after the other and after the interview which
lasted for almost three hours, Femi rushed out to
pick his calls for his phone has been on silent mode
all through the time the interview lasted. Some of
the missed calls he saw included calls from his
mother, his wife and his mistress whose name he
saved as ‘Real Deal’. Quickly, without even thinking
of calling his mother or wife, he dialed his mistress’
number.
Femi: “Hello, Sweeri. Somebody almost ran down
my battery with calls, don’t tell me you are missing
me already”.
Licia: “See who is talking, as if you don’t miss me
too. Should I tell you what you have missed
today?”
Femi: “Please don’t start o, do you want me to c*m
inside my trousers at work? Your voice alone is too
much seduction”.
Licia: “Are you coming over for lunch? I have…”
Femi: “Oh no baby, not today. I need to rush to my
branch now, I came to the headquarters for
interview. I will see you later in the evening after
work”. When he dropped the call, he saw that his
wife was calling. Hissing, he picked up the call.
Femi: “What is it? Have you forgotten that I am at
work? You know how I hate to be distracted at
work”.
Shana: “Sorry, Ifemi. This is not the first time I am
calling you at work now. Anyway, I called to know
what you would like to eat as dinner”.
Femi: “Do you have to call to ask that? Look I am
tired of your endless questions every day. Use your
discretion and cook whatever you want. I have a
customer to attend to” he ended the call.
====
Femi was in the office going through some
statements of account when a lady dressed in a
sexy mini skirt and lilac skirt walked in. In a
second, the expert that he is, Femi allowed his eyes
roam from her face which had a perfect make up
to her lips, painted in sharp purple lipstick. His eyes
moved to her chest which although modest was
moving in sync with her breathing. She was of a
small frame but very cute. She looked almost like a
doll and he felt like grabbing her and playing with
her like he did with his toy when he was a child.
“Hello”, her husky voice interrupted him.
Femi: “Oh, hi. Welcome to the branch manager’s
office, please have a sit. How may I help you?”
Nana: “Hello, Mr Manager”. She said staring at him
in the eye.
Femi: “Wait a minute, I have met this pretty face
before. Where o, where'? Where? Where?”
Nana: “You met me few hours ago. I was one of
the applicants you interviewed”.
Femi: “Yes! I remember. Don’t mind me, I meet so
many people every day that keeping track of faces
is a big problem for me. What can I do for you,
please?”
Nana: “I need this job, I need it badly. I don’t care
what you want in return, just give me this job and
I will do whatever you want”.
Femi: “Are you out of your mind? What is wrong
with applicants of nowadays? You think every man
is useless like the ones you have met in your
pathetic life? Look at my finger; that is a wedding
ring. I am married and I love my wife more than
anything in the world. You think it’s every time that
s*x sells? Take your cheap body out of here”.
====
After closing that day, Femi who was planning to
stop over at Licia’s place for lunch was about
driving out when he ran into one of his colleagues,
the head of customer relations. When he asked
why she was yet to go home, she said her car
broke down and she was waiting to pick a cab
home because she couldn’t reach her husband on
phone.
Femi: “I could drop you off, I am going towards
that end. I mean I know you have an infant and
you should be with him by now, it’s getting late”.
She accepted the offer and got into his car. Shana
on the other hand was driving to her favourite
supermarket in town to buy some toiletries when
she saw a car that looked like her husband’s drive
past her. She looked at the plate number of the car
and she realized that it was for sure her husband’s
car. A closer look at the car revealed that her Femi
was not alone but had a woman with him. Femi
was driving around town with a woman instead of
coming home to her. So this was the woman that
had been disturbing her husband’s sleep in the
night. She was determined to create a scene and
disgrace the woman and so she abandoned the
toiletries she wanted to buy and began to chase
them in her car. “I will break that lady’s head
today, instead of her to look for her own husband,
she is going after my man. I will see if she will
ever have the guts to go after married men again
after I am done with her. As for Femi, I will give
him the embarrassment of his life today”. She said
as she made effort to catch up with their car.
