“You are such a beautiful woman.”
Kelechi was taken aback by Rukie’s sudden statement. “Vera, what
has that got to do with the money matter we are discussing?” she asked, half
laughing.
They were in Kelechi’s shop and had been talking about how she needed
to upgrade her business from buying from wholesalers, to importing her own
wears. She had voiced that her major challenge was money – her husband could
not afford to pump any more money into her business and she didn't have enough
savings to venture into importation, and that was when Rukie had made the
remark about her beauty.
“Kelechi, what it has to do with it is very simple. A beautiful
woman is not supposed to want for money. I hate to sound cheesy, but you can
use what you have to get what you need.”
Kelechi froze. “What? I hope you are not really saying what I
think you are.”
“What do you think I am saying?”
“That I should sleep with men for money?”
“You don't need to put it so raw. It's simply getting what you
want through what you have in your arsenal. There's nothing wrong with that.”
“No, no, no, Vera,” Kelechi shook her head firmly. "Don't
tell me there is nothing wrong with that. I am a married woman. How can you
suggest a thing?”
Rukie saw how outraged Kelechi was at her suggestion, so much so
that she was literally shaking. She realized then that there was no way she could
win the argument. Not at that moment.
So, she shrugged and gave a playful wave. "Sweetie, you don
vex? Na play I dey o.”
Kelechi looked relieved. “Ah, I for say o. Which kind talk be
that one.”
Kelechi lapsed into a short silence, wondering how else to
influence Kelechi into adultery. It was the most important part of her plan and
she needed to make it happen.
But even before she could form any thoughts, Kelechi jumped up
from her seat excitedly. "Babes, my husband is here," she declared
and rushed outside.
Rukie looked out to see that a black Honda Accord had parked in
front of the store and immediately recognized it as Tade’s car. She became frozen
to her seat with shock and fear. The last thing she had expected or planned for
was Tade running into her with his wife.
Oh my God, oh my God, she gasped wordlessly.
As she continued to watch through the glass of the store's door,
Tade came out of his car to hug and kiss his wife. Rukie’s tummy tightened and
whirled into a knot of intense pain. Jealous sobs welled up in her eyes and
throat, but she managed to choke them back.
Her emotions changed to panic when she saw the husband and wife
turn towards the store, with Kelechi carrying her husband's laptop bag.
Tade must not find me
here!
The panic activated her limbs and she sprang up.
“I'm coming. I need to use the bathroom,” she lied to the
salesgirl and rushed out the store's backdoor, half-running to where her car
was parked.
Back home, she brooded for hours, till she developed a
headache, trying to think of a way of convincing Kelechi to cheat on her
husband, and also trying to come up with a good excuse to give for disappearing
from the store like she had.
When the answer finally came to her, it came as a solution to
both problems. It was a bit risky, but it was the only thing left for her to do
at that point. For her plan to work, she needed to go all out.
The next day, as early as she could, she returned to Kelechi's
store.
The other woman was all over her when she saw her. “Vera, why
did you disappear like that yesterday? I wanted to introduce you to my husband.
I even called and called, but you didn't pick. I was so worried!”
“It was because of your husband," Rukie responded, point
blank. “I disappeared because of your husband.”
“My husband? What did he do to you?”
Rukie opened a picture on her phone and handed it to Kelechi, saying,
“My dear, your husband has been cheating on you.”
