“You and I, who returns early from work?” The uncle asked his wife
“I!” The aunt answered weakly.
“Then you are the one who will do the work, this one has come here just to walk and not to work. You just want to fertilize the child of your fellow woman. You know your argument from last night is what you want to bring up today, there is no woman’s work for him, right?”
“Okay my husband!”
“Uncle, take this ‘buku’ (one thousand) and you will use it during the day. When it’s time to eat, you will just cook your food, I think the vegetables and fried fish are in the cupboard.” said the uncle while giving me a one thousand shillings note. The uncle entered his room first, followed by the aunt from behind, the aunt entered while winking and smiling. Auntie went out and went to the bathroom to clean her body while uncle finished getting ready and took his motorcycle out to get it ready for the trip to work. I went into my room. I took out the towel and remained naked as I contemplated what had happened. When my aunt came out of the shower, she went into her room and when she finished getting ready, she went outside to leave.
“How about again?” The uncle asked the aunt when he saw the aunt if he wanted to go back inside.
“Aahhh…aaah I forgot my wallet inside, I can’t see it!”
“Hurry up, don’t you know we are very late today?”
“I must have forgotten it on the bed!”
“You hurry, what’s the explanation now?”
Aunty came inside and instead of entering her room, she came directly to my room. I was very shocked when I saw him because I was in a deep pool of thoughts. I got up and wanted to run to the towel, but my aunt stopped me by holding my waist while she was behind me and put her hand in my spear causing it to rise.
“What’s up baby, what’s wrong with you?” My aunt asked me
“Hey aunty, what do you think if uncle comes to see us, what will happen, we only survived a little while ago!”
“The problem is that I’m tired of what you gave me in the past, so I miss you a lot, but don’t worry, he can’t come here because even I don’t stay!”
“Enhe, tell me!”
“Take this whole, I ask you to buy good food and eat it, then eat and be full when I come in, it’s just a job, don’t let the child of the people die for me because of the meal, again those cooking things, so that I don’t find you tired for nothing because of cooking, I want to see you strong do you understand me dear?” he questioned.
“Okay, no problem baby aunty!” I answered while receiving a ten thousand shillings note from my aunt.
“Waaaaah!” My aunt kissed me on the forehead and left leaving a mark like an Indian woman who wants to get married, who gets smeared on her forehead, but this smear was the mark of ripe lips as if she had slaughtered a chicken. After my aunt left, I heard the sound of a motorcycle leaving the house, so I knew that my aunt and uncle were leaving. When they left, that’s when I started thinking about how my relationship with my aunt started.
TEN DAYS AGO (Friday)
It’s the evening at my uncle’s house where uncle and aunt were having dinner before what they call the fast food, the night meal, the thick night that you eat until the witch comes and gets angry because he finds you still awake.
“That’s what I love about you, my wife, that is, I don’t know what you put in my food, because today’s food is very tasty!” said the uncle.
“And you, I have never heard you say that food is bad”
“Now, if you cook good food, shouldn’t I tell you?”
“Good, don’t just say you don’t know how to cook!”
“Who, me, hahahaha you don’t know me well!”
“Aaah just those words!” said the aunt while rolling her eyes romantically.
“words, wait one day for me to cook for you, you will be happy with your soul!” replied the uncle
