A BRIEF ROMANCE WITH THE DEVIL (A Tale of Bayo and Bunmi)(Episode 8)

Our last argument had resulted to a cold war in the house, the 
Romance was gradually dying off as we no longer kissed before 
Stepping out or coming in, we stopped eating together, 
Backing each other on bed, saying goodnight prayers together, 
Greeting each other was becoming traditional not romantic 
Anymore to fulfill all righteousness. Our new family culture had 
Adjusted for a couple of days with no one willing to apologise, 
I should have apologised but she doesn’t have sufficient 
Evidence to hold on, rather her accusations where on mere 
Suspicions. 
On the other hand it has been a verbal tussle with Bunmi, as I 
Had lambasted her at every slight opportunity over her 
Contributions to the issues I am having with my family. I was 
Gradually loosing it because the proceeds gotten from Bunmi 
Meant nothing compared to the volume of love lost in my 
Family. I sincerely want a reconciliation with my wife but 
Needed a more soft landing to avoid her wrath. For the second 
Time of the week I had skipped my sexual duties with Bunmi 
Because of the rancor. 
I sat somewhere in town to drink a few bottle of beer to clear 
My head of the emotional debris in it, yet Bunmi kept calling Repeatedly like her internal organs where with me. I rushed my 
Glass of Heineken and headed for Bunmi’s private lodge 
Because I really needed to pour out my mind to her. On arrival, 
I expected the impatient Bunmi to instruct her guards to beat 
Me up but that was not the case, as she ignored like I never 
Existed. 
Rather she paid keen attention to the little lad who probably 
Would be twice below her age seriously massaging and 
Caressing her. The young lad continued with his sexual 
Escapades, winkling at me at intervals trying to show me how 
Good he is. This was pretty irritating, painful and partially 
Disrespectful as I felt some atom of jealousy seeing another 
Man eat up the ever fleshy and juicy Bunmi. I tried paying blind 
Eyes to this movie because it was too obvious that it was a 
Trap but Mr Penis who most times is senseless to V—-a Bait 
Kept salivating even in the face of disgust. 
I went back to the works of the great Philosopher Socrates 
“Man Know thy Self”. I quickly made adjustment to my 
Thoughts and told her I had come to drop my resignation letter 
And not interested in any form of entanglement with her 
Anymore “She smiled and asked if that’s all I wanted?” I said 
“yes”. Your wish is my command handsome, you can drop 
Your resignation on the table, you can see am busy servicing 
What matters most to me, ensure you drop all company 
Property with the HR tomorrow, “she instructed and asked me 
To use the exit”. 
My legs where stiff to the ground as I couldn’t make any move 
From where I was, all I needed was a push so that I could 
Leave where I was. I felt used, useless and worthless while I Shamefully walked away. I drove down home to meet my 
Family, getting home my two year old daughter rushed up to 
Me and said daddy mummy is crying, why are you beating my 
Mummy? I carried her on my arms and said your mummy is 
Not crying she used water to wash her face, my daughter kept 
Looking at me in an unusual manner as I tried distracting her 
With other things to take her mind away from the drama. 
At 2am I woke my wife up to have a word with her, I finally 
Broke the news of my resignation to her, she shouted like 
Someone had died, sorry for the inconveniences and 
Unhappiness my job had caused this home, however for the 
Interest of this family which comes first before any other thing 
I will look out for something else so that we can all have peace 
And end all these insecurity tussle “Bayo said”. Why will you 
Quite your job? How do you expect us to pay our bills? How 
Come you decided to take this decision alone without 
Considering the family state? My wife started her 
Interrogations. 
Hey babe, this is not an issue we have to debate over, at least 
Every other thing can return to normal now and we can all live 
In peace “Bayo said”. Babe am sorry, I didn’t mean you should 
Resign, I was only jealous and suspicious with your regular 
Movement with Bunmi, I wasn’t insinuating that you both have 
An affair, please don’t quite your job ” she cried and 
Apologized taking all the blame again”. 
The following morning, my wife stole Bunmi’s number on my 
Phone because we share passwords, she texted and pleaded 
With Bunmi to please take me back on the job, which Bunmi 
Acknowledged and promised to give due consideration. That Same morning I drove to the office to submit all company’s 
Property within my possession, after successful 
Documentation, the HR requested I take the letter to Bunmi to 
Acknowledge which I did. 
I stepped into her office and greeted her formally like we have 
Never seen behind closed doors, she responded in same 
Manner and acted professional. After she had signed the 
Resignation and other documents, she requested I seat briefly, 
She powered her projector and laptop and requested I see a 
Few clip of the current unemployment statistics in the country. 
I obliged, raising my head up it was a sex video of Bunmi and 
I beginning from our first sex to the numerous sex rumble we 
Have had. She brought her phone and showed me her call log 
Claiming she spoke with my wife earlier but she was a bit 
Reserved with some information’s, however she had prepared 
One tape to be sent to her, so I can live her office now and go 
Home and watch my new movie with my beloved wife. Home 
Is no home when peace doesn’t abide there, any where is 
Home as long as your heart lies there, I began to trek the 
Streets of Lagos like a nomad because I couldn’t go home… 
He who chooses to eat with the devil must do so with a long 
Spoon.
