Chapter Four{4}

He walks out of the room and Esther takes off her scarf, arranges her hair and gets to business with her makeup. Not failing to access the room as she is at it.

Kunle walks back into the room and acts like Esthers presence is nonexistent.... He moves towards the wardrope and begins to undress.

He takes off his shirt first, and then his singlet, to reavel his chest and well built body. He then takes off his trouser and places it on the bed...

And the next thing that happens is Esthers voice breaking the silence. She had been watching silently all along.

"Kunle, what are you doing?! " she asks in alarm... Her eye wide with shock.

"What does it look like I am doing?.. Cooking indomie?!.... You can clearly see I am undressing. " Kunle gesture with his hands towards the pile of his clothes on the bed... The ones he had just taken off.

"Why?!.... Kunle, is this what you called me here for??!!! How could you even think like that? You know I am not that type of girl. I am not ready for this. I.." she begins to speak as she stands up and her voice is slightly laced with anger.

"Esther!! Who told you that is what i wanted to do??! I am just changing my clothes so I can take you out to have fun! ".. Kunles voice is a mixture of disappointment, hurt and anger.

"Oh, I am sorry" Esther replies as her gaze falls to the ground in regret and shame.

She feels stupid for screaming at her boyfriend for undressing infront of her... Did she seriously think he wanted to have sex with her? No. Before the relationship began, she made him promise not to ask for sex as she is still a virgin and is not ready to change that status anytime soon.

"Just leave it.. Never mind" Kunle replies with finality in his voice... It is no doubt that Esther has spoilt his mood.

He turns to the wardrope and continues looking for what to wear while Esther hesitantly returns to her make up.

In the elevator. ;

" Kunle, I am so sorry for what I did.. Please wipe that frown off your face naw{ NAw is a Nigerian replacement of NOW... Kind of a slang} ." she says as she pockers her bottom lip.

" I should wipe the frown off??!!... You put it there so you should know how to wipe it off" he scoffs at her.

" But baby I'm sorry naw... "

" So even if I really wanted to... You wount let me?!" He ask as he is trying to look into her eyes...

She looks away and her silence gives him the answer... Just then, the elevator door opens into the reception.

Kunle walks ahead of her and she tries her possible best to keep up.

Once they are outside.... She drags him to a dark portion of the building...

" i said I am sorry! "

" You over reacted!. " he Scolds

" No I didn't!" She replied using the same tone of voice as he.

" okay! " He replies in anger. Looking into the dark sky.

" Ife mi jor naw, eni bi òkan mi, ade ori mi, imole mi ninu okunkun."

( My love please naw, the one close to my heart, the crown on my head, my light in darkness.){Yoruba}

She praises him in Yoruba... Their local dialect, to bribe him into forgiving her.

" ò ó mo gbogbo iyen tele abi?"

( You didn't know all

before, right? ){Yoruba} he replies. Un moved by her sweet words.

" Kunle!, kinin gbogbo eleyi now?! Shey gbogbo pele pele ti mon so lataro. Ò gbo abi? Oti di aditi oloko?"

(Kule!, what is the meaning of all this now?!. So, you would not give heed to my apologies? You have turned to the deaf owner of a car.) She screams in anger and fraustration.

******************************

{ADITI OLOKO, is a Yoruba way of insulting someone. It means the person is deaf, but Literarily it means "the deaf owner of a car". Now we know a deaf person can't drive due to the risks.

So this statement is a paradox that means the person is not really deaf but deliberately acting to be deaf. }

******************************

"Emini Aditi Oloko abi?! "

(So I am the deaf owner of a car right?! )

He asks in anger as he tears his arm from her grip and continues walking away.

She runs after him. They are close to the parking lot so she drags him amidst the cars.

Once they are in darkness again, She kneels down before him...

" my love.. I am sorry, please forgive me.. I came here for you.. If you don't calm down.. I would go back home or spend the night at a club" Esther begs, inform and concludes.

His eyes widen due to this threat as he knows his girlfriend never makes empty threats. He reaches down as pulls he pulls her up by her shoulders.

" You know I can't stay mad at you even if I want to. You hurt me. So to you, i am like those irresponsible boys that would ditch a girl after sex?!. You know I love you.But I am not sure you love me Esther... Prove your love to me babe. " he says to her.

" okay love.. I would try my best" She replies plainly. She clearly does not like the fact that her boyfriend doubt's her undieing love for him.

she makes to leave.. But he drags her back and gently lands her back on the car behind her... Then he plants a deep kiss on her lips.
