MAKe we go see Oga Madam them” Amos said“No now, make we reach house first” Comfort suggested“E go de too late if we first reach house” Amos said “Plus we fit chop our night food there”“Na time shaa” Comfort said and they headed to number five school road. They got to the big black gate and pressed the door bell …“Who be that!” A Husky voice called from within.It was the security guard, who peeked from the tiny opening on the gate door“Na we oh” Comfort answered for both of them“Wetin una want?” The guard asked“Abeg tell Oga Madam them say Oyibo and him wife want see am” Paul said. With this the guard disappeared and in few minutes flung the gate door open. The house keeper came around and ushered them into the magnificent living room. There was a balcony round, in the upper part of sitting room with door which Amos thought would probably be bed rooms. The house keeper motioned them to sit on any of the sofas which they did. The floor was made of grey ceramic tiles with brown horizontal designs. The drapes on the wall were coffee and cream in colour. There was a big plasma television hanging on the wall. The table in the middle of the large living room was made of glass with colourful artificial flower spread on it. It was beautiful, such that comfort gazed around like a lost sheep and left her mouth open in surprise, which was quite embarrassing to Amos who was already familiar with house from previous visits. He pinched her and motioned to her to comfort herself. Comfort was startled but she immediately got the message. The freezing air that blew from the spilt unit was really chilling on poor comfort, she folded herself and moved closer to Amos for warm and whispered.“Harmattan de for this house well well”“No be harmattan” Paul whispered back“Na A.C … see that thing for wall” He said pointing to the spilt unit“Na him de bring cool breeze”“Money good shaa oh” she said. Just then Oga Madam came, peered from the balcony and smiled. Then she came down into the living room from the staircase. “My darling” she said and gave Comfort a warm embrace“Hmm… Oyibo!” she directed to Amos “You like better thing oh”“My dear, you are beautiful” she said to Comfort “You people are highly welcome”“Thank you” they said in Unison Oga Madam entertained them with plenty of funny stories, as well as a bottle of fruit wine and some crackers. This was disappointing to them as they expected to be fed symptom shy like the other days Amos had talked of some days are like that a my way. What they however gained from that visit was worth more than a sumptuous meal. Oga madam told Comfort she could come and work for a friend of hers who to start a new hair dressing saloon in the neighborhood. Comfort could hardly curtail her excitement she spring to her felt and embrace Oga in gratitude to the woman Oga Madam later joined them and also promised to connect Amos to a church member whose firm was in need of servicing technician for their long vehicles and equipment’s.
