My two wives are in love with each other
Episode 5
Later in the day, Chioma was in the kitchen trying to prepare dinner but the cut on her hand could not allow her to cut vegetables
Cynthia walked into the kitchen and quickly noticed she was in pain and couldn’t do some of the things with her hand. She walked to her and collected the kitchen knife and the vegetables from her. Chioma wanted to act stubborn but there was nothing she could do because she can’t do them cause of the cut she has.
Oma… Chioma! My name is Chioma. Please don’t shorten my name. Chioma interrupted Cynthia.
Okay fine, Chioma, Cynthia continues. I’m sorry about what happened earlier today. It’s all my fault I know but I want you to know I’m sorry. I truly am.
No response from Chioma she was busy doing other things in the kitchen.
Can you allow me to prepare the food while you go in and rest or be by the side?
Cynthia can you for once shut up? You don’t get tired of talking, do you? even when the person you are engaging with talk is not ready to converse with you. For crying out loud shut up and cut the vegetables and leave the kitchen. Chioma angrily responded to Cynthia.
You know Chioma, few hours I’ve stayed in this house with you, you shout at me, you walk away and all the blah-blah is enough for me to write about you. You are surprised, right?
If a pen and paper were been given to me I will describe you as a lady of a soft mind, a beautiful mother, good and caring. A lot I will write about you so darling stop acting who you are not. All the nagging and mean attitude are so not you. Nah, that’s not who you are. Don’t let situations in life turn you into who you are not. Life is not fair, and people are not fair and that’s more reason you should be ready at all times to face whatever life throws at you. Cynthia motivates Chioma.
Cynthia proceeds closer to Chioma. Let me see the cut on your hands. Cynthia softly asked Chioma.
For the first time, Chioma calmly opened her hand to Cynthia.
It’s deep though but it won’t take time to heal. If the clinic dresses it three to four times, it will be gone.
Yeah, thanks. Chioma replies Cynthia.
I must say you are a strong Lady. Four kids yet no house help. You do everything in this big house. Now, tell me. What time do you wake up in the morning to prepare the kids for school? Cynthia asked
Well, you are here now. I guess you will see by yourself how I do them all or are you leaving so soon. Chioma responded
Where is the spoon let me turn the soup it seems is burning. Cynthia asked
Check on the cabinet the spoon is on top. Chioma responded to Cynthia
Wow! Chef Chi… The soup is so delicious. Cynthia complimented Chioma’s soup as she is still holding the spoon. Chioma was still smiling at Cynthia’s compliment on her soup when Charles walked into the kitchen.
Wow oh wow!!! The atmosphere is covered with the delicious aroma coming from this kitchen. Wow!! Cynthia, you are the one making this delicious soup? Omg! I can’t wait to taste your food is been a long time since I perceived such an aroma.
Chioma stood up and pushed Cynthia aside as she angrily left the kitchen over Charles’s careless compliment.
