“Well, I know many of you are eager to know how I manage to

listeners and it seems they are all eager to know, he adjusted
himself; he drawled forward a little as he continued.

My dear readers, this was how I survived.

Chief Nnamdi started.
.
“It started on that fateful night; around 11:30pm; all the dwellers
had went to bed, I slept beside my wife, she was fast asleep, I
woke up to use the toilet, I opt for the toilet, I came back in no
time, no sooner had I came back from the toilet than I had the
beep of her phone; behold it was a message, I checked the
message and it was sent with an unregistered number, the
message state thus;
.
“Good day darling, hope everything is quiet okay, I just want to
inform you that I will be back in two days time and I also wanted
to asked you how far about our plans, I hope Chief Nnamdi will be
eliminated tomorrow latest next tomorrow, because I don’t want
him to be burden to us anymore, I can’t wait to marry you legally.
Reply this message if you had received and read it.”
.
I was so shocked when I am through with the reading, I read over
and over again to confirm if I am not in the dream land or I was
imaging; I was muted for some time, I was just confused,
dumbstruck and disbelieve of what I read, I later forwarded the
message to my own cell phone, I tried to save the number that
sent the message but I was shocked when I found out that the
sender of the message was this ingrate (pointing to Chief
Mattew).” Chief Nnamdi narrated as he paused.
“Ah! Mummy!” Chinendu and Chiamaka screamed in chorus.
Chief Nnamdi continued.
“I was unable to sleep throughout that night, I was just imagined
how a friend of mine could be so wicked to kill me and my
beloved wife will even have the mind to execute the plan. “What
a life of betrayal!” I exclaimed. I tried to think of a way out, many
thoughts were just bombarding and jumping into my mind but I
just don’t know the best and suitable solution to my problem. “My
days are numbered” I said with a low tone, I thought of running
away but I had to think of the mouth I’m feeding, I thought
confronting her but who knows her reply or reaction, who knows
if she will stab me, someone who have the gut to plan on how to
execute a beloved husband what else can’t such person do; I
know if I confront her maybe that will even make my death faster
and nearer than I expected, I thought of informing the police but I
was just imaging if they could believe that a beloved wife wanted
to kill her beloved husband; “that sound nasty and improper.” I
thought. I later thought of messaging my lawyer and doctor at
least that would help, who know the type of death they wanted to
use to eliminate me; who knows if it was from hired killer,
assassins, stabbing, poisoned or spiritual force, I thought of
fetching water in reserve because of dry season. I later messaged
my lawyer and I forward the secret and unbelievable message to
him, I also messaged my own personal doctor and I explained
how it all happened.” He paused as he was fighting the tears from
dropping.
“Hmmmmmm!” Nnena sighted as she looks into the eyes of Mrs.
Chioma their eyes collided just then Chief Nnamdi continued his
story line.
“Early the next morning, I greeted my nefarious wife earnestly to
avoid suspicion and she also replied my greeting solemnly, I was
anxious to receive the reply of my message from my doctor and
lawyer respectively; but the doctor in needs. It’s already past
8am the next morning and I haven’t receive any reply from
neither the doctor nor my lawyer; this made me to fear more, I
was so hungry but I fear I may be poisoned, the worms in my
stomach has started to protest, I was to hard to hold such hunger
just then I request for a cup of coffee from Nnena; at least that
may help to neutralize the protesting worms, within a twinkle of
an eye, she came back with a kettle of coffee and a tea cup, she
served me the coffee and she head back to the kitchen, I was
about to dipped down the coffee when……
I was about to dipped down the coffee just then I heard the beep
of my phone; I check the screen of the phone and it was my
doctor, I looked at my wife (Mrs. Chioma) but it seems she was
totally carried away by the TV show she was watching, I dropped
the coffee and I excused myself to pick the call.
“Hello Doctor.” I greeted as I was about to step out of the
corridor.
“Hello Chief.” The Doctor replied as he paused.
“I received your message, but please if I may ask, are you sure of
what you narrated in the text message?” The Doctor asked
through phone.
“Yes doctor, I saw the message myself and to avoid any mistake
that is why I forwarded the message to you.” I replied as I look
around to confirm that no one was spying.
“Okay Chief, I advice you not to eat or take anything eatable in
the house, who knows if they are going to attack with poison, if
you want to eat, go to the eatery and fill your trunk (stomach)
beside please visit me at my office for better conversation.” The
doctor advised and concluded.
“Okay, I will stick to your advises as a medical practitioner, I will
take my bath now I will meet you there.” I replied.
“Okay Chief, I will be expecting you.” The Doctor replied as he
ended the call.
I went back into the sitting room, I was so afraid of my wife, I sat
down on this sofa (pointing to the sofa he was sitting in), I took
my newspaper and continued reading; I don’t even understand
what the newspaper was even saying again, I was just reading
without understanding, I was looking at the coffee that was
placed in front of me but I was just afraid to devour it, I was
using one eye to look at my wife but she doesn’t even for once
look at my direction; she was smiling and laughing to the boring
TV show she was watching, I was just confused when I saw that
she was actually watching a fashion show. “What is funny in
this?” I asked myself emblematically.
was uncomfortable, I was just looking at the newspaper I was
holding; I was just looking at the pictures and graphic acts, I was
totally lost in thought.
“Nnena!” I screamed.
“Nne…na!” I recalled.
“Oh, darling am sorry, I sent her on an errand.” Mrs. Chioma
replied facing me; she turned back and continued watching her
boring fashion show.
.
it was now 9:15am; the angry and irritated worms in my stomach
are now protesting incessantly; I could hear my stomach
grumbling and peevishing, I was so hungry but I was afraid to
take the coffee that was served for me, I concluded that I will
quickly take my bath and head for the doctor office, I will branch
at an eatery so that I can meet the need of those angry worms. I
stood up to head for the bathroom just then my despicable wife
stood up from her sit, she walked up to me.
“Are you not taking your coffee?” She asked pointing to the
coffee.
“Am not, I need to go somewhere urgent now.” I replied with a
disappointed looks.
“It is still hot.” She replied as she bent down to pick up the
Coffee, she sipped (drink) some quantity of the coffee and she
dropped the coffee on the side stool.
“This is tasty! {she exclaimed}, it is hot and it s good for the
health especially this harmattan season, I think I have to take
some hot coffee.” She paused.
“Let me go and get a tea cup.” She concluded as she opted for
the kitchen.
.
I just stood still at the spot I was standing, I was a little bit
confused and more surprised, I was wondering if she just drank
from the coffee, that gave me a last grinned of hope that the
coffee wasn’t poisoned, just then I feel dizzy from inside, all the
objects in the house turn to two or more; some objects changed
to be shadowy, I was a bit unconscious, I thought for a while to
clear my mind.
“She just took the coffee; no doubt, she didn’t poison it, even if
she does; that means we are both going to die.” I thought, I was
about to drink the coffee when….
