Dirty Hustler - Season 1 - Episode 4

☆☆☆☆☆

I kept on running till I got to the rusty gate of the compound. I looked back and saw that Broda wasn’t chasing me. I let out a sigh of relief and stopped to catch my breath. I then exited the gate and bolted it from outside.
I walked slowly to the mallam’s shop. Broda would skin me alive when I returned. I regretted taunting him like that. I slapped my forehead, I was so stupid!
” My beautiful wife!”

I looked up to see it was the Ape. He was walking towards me and I groaned.
He was limping towards me with a walking cane in his right hand, one of his legs looked crooked, his buluku trouser couldn’t hide his deformity. His potbelly wiggled as he walked. “What an ugly man!” I thought to myself.

“Good morning sir!” I greeted when he got close to me.

“My beautiful wife, where you dey go this early morning?” He panted and dabbed sweat from his face with a dirty white handkerchief.

I wondered why he was sweating like a Christmas goat when the sun wasn’t fully out yet. Maybe it was his obesity at play.
“I dey go buy something for mallam shop.”
“Wetin be the name of the thing you one buy?” He lowered his eyes to my breast and kept on staring. The man made me uncomfortable.

“Na bread.”
“How fine girl like you go dey chop ordinary bread?” He frowned and dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out 1000 naira note. “Use am take cook better food for yourself.” He handed me the money.
“Thank you sir.” I took the money immediately. “God bless you sir.”
“No call me sir, Call me Honey.” He smiled sheepishly exposing a brown set of teeth with a few missing.
I smiled and nodded.

” I dey go meet your brother, we go see when you come.”
“OK sir.”

I felt his eyes on my backside as I walked away. The Ape is a pervert.

When I got to the Mallam’s shop, I bought bread and a bag of sachet water. I decided to give Broda the change, maybe it will lighten his mood and he wouldn’t beat me up.
I got into the compound. I was surprised to see the Ape and Broda were not seated on the verandah. If the Ape had left I would have met him on the way.

I passed through the corridor to the room, I opened the door and found the Ape and Broda sitting on plastic chairs, facing each other.
The Ape’s face lightened up as soon as he saw me. I curtsied to both of them and dropped the load I was carrying at a corner of the room. I was about to excuse them when Broda stopped me.

” Yes Broda? ” I turned to answer him.
“Lock the door.”

I gave Broda a questioning look but proceeded to do as he asked. I turned to them with my back leaning against the door.
“Remove your clothes.”
“Blood of Jesus!”
