Josh came as promised and drove Anthony to a quiet place to talk over drinks
Man before you say anything please order food for me I’m very famished
Josh call on a waiter and Anthony ordered for a place of rice
Add chicken and fruit juice, then get me a can of water Josh added
The waiter did as instructed and Anthony devour the food in fews minutes, Josh allowed him to finish before he started
How did you get here Anthony, how can you be broke, considering how much you had been earning for years before you lost your job, didn’t you invest or save, or did you fall for fraud*sters? You know you are secretive you don’t even confide in your friends, especially me your closest pal, I know almost nothing about you
I’m sorry man, I didn’t fall for any fraud, I was saving though before I meet Angela and she started making demands which I had to fulfill out of love, I didn’t see any big deal in making my woman happy since money was coming in regularly, I do give her one million naira allowance every month, I sent two of her sibling aboard for school, one on the United kingdom and the other Scotland, I also built the house her parent lives in, I started a boutique for her mom, the daddy was jobless and a drunk wen I met him before I changed his life. He told me he was good as vehicle spare parts and I gave him huge amount of money to start spare part business, I literally spend all my money on them shortly after I did all these things I lost my job so no way to reimburse and this is what I got in return, even since I lost my job and gone broke she had been treating me this way
And you didn’t tell me, I thought you were fine even though you told me you lost your job, why wouldn’t you go broke, when you takes your wife to expensive vacations outside the country on weekly basis
But what did you do to her that made her despises you this much now
I honestly don’t know bro
Hmm, and to think that you are broke because of her and her family
You’ve seen it na…
Have you reach out to her family to notify them of what you have been going through with you wife and for then to talk to her
I haven’t, I’m not the type to go about gossiping my wife to families, no third party, you wouldn’t have even know if not that you witness her display of character
Really, so you will die in silence, there are cases that doesn’t need a third party but definitely not this one Tony, go and talk to them
Okay, I’ve heard you and thanks alot, I will appreciate too if your wife her friend can talk some sense into her
No problem, I will speak with her, meanwhile take this little cash, I don’t have much, I will also help you to look out for a new job
I will be grateful
They discuss general issues till evening before Josh drove him home
Helen went to Angela supermarket to discuss with her, but she would have none of it
Remember this guy went bankrupt because of you, he spent lavishly on you and your people
oh I see you came to insult me, and for that man Anthony gossiping with my name, he shouldn’t worry I will deal with him severely
It haven’t gotten to that, I’m only trying to make you see reasons with me
Out of my shop please
What, Angela,
You heard me
It’s fine, but let me assure you that you will regret this act of yours and I pray it shouldn’t be late by then, make amend, I’ve never seen a guy who love so selflessly and genuinely like Anthony, have a nice day
Few weeks later Anthony went to Angela Supermarket to at least beg for little money to eat as she had not been giving him food again, he sustain from doing menial jobs he wasn’t use to and it has affected his health greatly for days now he had been at home doing nothing, his mother sent him some money few weeks ago, he gave almost all the money to his wife, he wanted to cater for his family, not minding his wife wealthy, she collected the money and still refused to give him food with an excuse of the 50k he gave her was too small it isn’t up to what she had been spending to take care of his son
When Anthony got to the supermarket he met her absence, where is my wife, your madam
Welcome sir, she went to the saloon and she’s yet to return
Alright please give me bread there I’m very famished i haven’t eaten since morning he requested, he never wanted to take her things behind her back but he had to as he was sick and hungry
Alright sir, are you okay with just bread, should I quickly made tea or give you a drink
Don’t worry, the bread is enough please
She brought the bread and he begin to eat, he had just eaten half when Angela walked in
Welcome my love, Anthony greeted
What are you doing here, and which bread are you eating, wait oo, Sandra, gift, Melody, she called her sale girls which of you gave him bread
I did ma, Sandra answered
Did he pay for it,
No ma, since he is your husband I thought…
Before she could finish Angela landed a hot slap on he cheek
Are you mad, you gave the bread I bought for sale to his la*zy f**l, how dare you
She took the half eaten bread from Anthony and held his trouser, pay my money immediately else I call the security on you she shouted drawing the attention of those patronizing her
Is he not your husband one of her customer who seems to know them asked
And so? Is that what gave he the audacity to take my bread in my absence, I feed and cloth him and his son, house him too and he steals from me, no way
Madam stop embrassing him please, another customer pleaded on his behave
Let me ha*rass him oo, are you not the breadwinner of your family oga, answer me, if you know what I’m going through you wouldn’t ask me to pardon him, he is a la”zy go*at allow me to deal with him, she replied
How much for the bread the man asked
#500 oo, a whole #500 someone I’m housing and clothing oo
It’s okay madam I will pay for it, the man volunteered before Angela left him hauling insult on him on how a fellow man pays his bill for him
Thank you sir, Anthony greeted shamefully
