Emilia:Hola!(she looked at the man trying to figure out if they’ve met before). I don’t think we’ve met before mister or have we(She said coldly)?
Man:Nope pretty,we’ve not,please call me Ebuka not mister. I just stopped to find out if you care for a lift,i can’t allow a pretty damsel like you to face the scorching sun looking for a cab.
Emilia:Hmm! I rather stand forever than for a man to give me a lift (Ebuka tried to talk but she shushed him,as Ebuka ignited the engine to go,she thought to herself that it was better to accept his offer and save her strenght)

(Ebuka went to his room after spending sometime with his parents,he removed Emilia’s card from his pocket and dialled her number).
*Conversation*

Emilia: Bye!(The truth was Ebuka was still nervous because he thought her dad was still close to her)
******
After a long day at work,Ebuka was very tired,he was driving home with little strength and to crown his ordeal was that he was extremely hungry. He shouted furiously at one man who obstructed his road as the man was reversing his pick-up Van,it was not up to 2 minutes,he insulted a danfo driver,proving the adage `A hungry man is an angry lion’. In another 1 hour,he blew his horn over-sonorouslyas he was in front of his father’s house. The gateman;El-malik who was supposedly sleeping,hesitated in opening the gate,Ebuka came out from the car annoyed and started banging the gate with both hands and foot,the drowsy El-malik then peeped from the eye-hole and opened the gate,Ebuka got back inside his car and drove inside the compound wildly,El-malikwent to welcome him but was not spared by a sounding slap that caressed his face,you know those kind of slaps that removes someone’s standing.
El-malik:Aargh!Oga(still on the floor).
Ebuka:Don’t Oga me,drowsy fool(Ebuka added as he climbed the stairs that les to the sitting room,he wasn’t expecting anybody to be at home because his father was supposed to be at the Igbo Men Association,Lagos branch meeting And his mother who was a barrister had a case to handle at court,he looked beneath the footmat where they normally kept the keyif they’re not around,he didn’t see the key there,he wondered if they forgot to drop the key or whether Ekaete their maid ;who went on vacation returned,he wanted to call his parents on phone but he decided to knock,as he knocked,almost immediately someone started opening the door from the living room.
********
The person on seeing him rushed to hug him,he quickly pushed her off him,extremely angry.
Ebuka: Erica what the f--k are you doing here?
Erica: Ebu love,i missed you and decided to come and visit you,your dad just left for meeting and he let me in.
Ebuka: Shut up,you missed your self,you w---e,a glorified w---e for that matter. Get out before i lose my temper(Barking).
Erica:Nah! Ebuka,i’ve been here for over 2hours,waiting for your arrival.
Ebuka:As if i care,gerrout! Before i do something nasty.
Erica:Ebu you’re not that mean,are you?
Ebuka: Ask google the d--n question and spare me that crap.
Erica: Ebu sweet(She made advances to come close to him,but he resisted her with force and rushed to his bedroom,lockingthe door with his key).
Ebuka: What is all these?(He said falling on his soft Mouka foam,Erica was his ex-fiancee,he loved her dearly and wanted to marry her,but just 3months to the marriage,he caught her red-handedly cheating on him……
He tried to let go of it,but still caught her on another occasion,He hadn’t set his eyes on Erica until now after that incidence,Rumour had it that she traveled to Sierra-leone to stay with her aunt,After Ebuka dashed to his room,Erica waited for about 30minutes before going back because he was still obstinate to come out from his room,in Ebuka’s heart his total love for Erica has eluded and the person who he loves is Emilia.

THE HONEYMOON
EPISODE 5
One week later:
The relationship between Emilia and Ebuka was getting smoother and stronger, Ebuka woke up in the morning and went to wash his clothes using the washing machine, the housegirl Ekaete has just returned and she was cooking, so he had to do it himself. After that, he sat in the couch watching sport highlights, he didn’t bother to go to work because he was the manager, it wasn’t that he was lazy or inefficient but it was because he had a crucial thing to do. He knew Emilia would be at home because she is always off duty on fridays, so he wanted to pay her a surprise visit. He ironed his Senator-suit,which was already starched, he polished his shoe and went to bath. After 8 minutes he came out from the bathroom and dressed like he was doing his traditional marriage, his dad was surprised and hailed him, the elderly man didn’t bother to ask him where he was going because he was sure it was a lady he was going to see.
He didn’t call Emilia to tell her he was coming, her address was already on the card she gave to him and besides he was conversant with chief Ayo’s crescent, so there was no cause for alarm. He quickly went to his neatly washed car, sparkling and dazzling, ignited the engine and started driving, El-malik who had become diligent as from the day of that glorious slap, rushed like Usain Bolt to go and open the gate.
*******
He drove merrily through the road that led to Chief Ayo’s Crescent,he stopped at a confectionery store to purchase plate chin-chin and Coke for Emilia because she loved the combination real good. He futher stopped at a dark-brown gate and parked his car close to the gate because with the description the gate had the No 13 written boldly on it which was what the card denoted. He knocked on the gate and Mr.Ekun who was dressed very simply sitting close to the gate went to open the gate,he looked at the young man who hadn’t met before to know what he was looking for.
Mr.Ekun:Hello!
Ebuka:Good day Sir,i came to see Emilia,please is she around.
Mr.Ekun:Yes she’s around.
Ebuka:Okay! Shey you’re the securityman,nice to meet you,do you have any idea if her parents are around, so that i would start preparing how to talk to them(He was thinking Mr.Ekun was the gateman).
Mr.Ekun:(Laughing hysterically). Hahaha!,I’m Mr.Ekun,Emilia’s father,do you think i’m the security man?
*************
Ebuka:(Realising his mistake). Ha! Sorry sir! Please i’m very sorry(He prostrates though he’s an Igbo guy).
Mr.Ekun:Stand up my son,don’t bother,just go and meet Emilia, she’s in the livingroom.(He pointed to the livingroom situated in the pretty neatly built bungalow just beside the series of bougainvillea).
/****************
He Entered the livingroom and found Emilia sleeping on the long couch beside her Cellphone,he decided to flash her phone so that she would be surprised to see him,he dialled her number and the sound from her Rihanna’s work ringing tone woke her up,he quickly hung up as she jumped and was very surprise to see him. She rushed to hug his already open arms.
Emilia:Jeez! Ebuka how did you get here? You didn’t call that you were coming?
Ebuka:Surprise!Surprise! I wanted to give you a surprise visit(He sat on the long couch and she also sat there).
Emilia:Hmm! Did you see my dad? I was carried away by sleep.
Ebuka:Yep i did,take what i bought for you(He handed over the celophane bag to her).
Emilia:Thanks(She began eating,she also forced him to eat with her eventhough it was just 2 plates of chin-chin and one coke).
Ebuka:(Still chewing).Your dad is a very nice man oh.
************
(As if Mr.Ekun heard his name,he coincidentally entered the living room).
Mr.Ekun: So you said I’m nice,thanks for the compliment.(Smiling).
Ebuka:Yes sir,you’re very nice.
Emilia:Daddy meet my fiance;Ebuka.
Mr.Ekun:Your fiance and you didn’t tell me. Anyway welcome my son.So has she offered you anything?

Finally,the long awaited month arrived,it was the Month of May. Ebuka didn’t go to work because it was the worker’s day holiday. So he sat down chatting on facebook with Emilia. She told him that she wants to visit him and he told her he would come and pick her,at first Emilia didn’t agree but after much pestering she agreed that he would cone and pick her. He drove to Emilia’s house,Emilia who was already dressed entered the car and he drove smoothly to his father’s house,El-Malik rushed to open the gate at the blast of the first horn. Ebuka drove inside the compound and parked in the garage. He opened the door and came out of the car,Emilia did same. He led her to the livingroom via the staircase.Therewas nobody at home except Ekaete;the housemaid and El-Malik;the gateman. They went inside and sat,Emilia was given a bottle of coke which she rejected saying “She’ve already taken one before”. They had series of discussions ranging from T.V stations to politics and so on.
As they were having fun together,a bang on the door which wasn’t closed forced the intruder to enter.She marched gallantly like a soldier trailling the footstep of a terrorist. She clapped her hands in awe,the Intruder was no other person than Erica.
*****
Erica:Hey! Chai! I’m i dreaming,what I’m i seeing?
Ebuka: Erica who told you to come to my house,are you mad? For crying out loud,i told you not to step your foot here again.(Emilia was just watching the scene in a confused state).
Erica: So it’s because of this sick-looking orangutan that you sent me out of your house the other day? Tell me Ebuka!(Shoutinglike a madwoman) What does she have that i don’t have?
Ebuka: I would be glad if you leave this house at this very minute.When you were cheating on me,you didn’t know. And don’t ever call my fiancee names,if not i would slap you.
Emilia:(Emilia who had been quiet all this while spoke) What is going on here,please Ebuka who is she?
Erica:I’m Ebuka’s wife oh,Husband-Snatcher(Attempts to beat Emilia but Ebuka intervenes and gives her a slap).Ebuka you slapped me,we shall see.
Emilia:Aunty Erica please i’m sorry.
Erica:Don’t worry,you’ve done nothing to me,it’s this stupid Ebuka that would suffer.
Ebuka:You can do nothing,shameless w---e.(Erica slapped him back and dashed out of the house.)
