"Have you noticed something Rachael?"
"What?"
"Ever since Adisa came back from the Palace,he has not been himself" Kole observed
"What do you expect?The poor guy have just landed himself in a very hot pot of soup!" They both laughed.
"And what is so funny in that?" Shade demanded as she approached them at the centre of the Corpers' lodge compound.
"Eh! Sorry o! Im wife don land o!" Rachael announced
"Why don't you guys,mind your business if you have nothing ggod to offer?"
"No vex abeg! Shade,abeg no let im know abeg,I no want wahala o!" Kole begged
"If e hear nko,shey na we say make im go talk wetin pass im mouth,na we put am for trouble?"
"Trouble,what are you talking about?"
"Oh,you don't know,so you don't know that the King have heard of the mockery your husband made of the him? The King have summoned him to explain himself and from the look of things,your husband would be spending an extra 6 months in this horrible town without pay!" Rachael said and laughed mockingly. Kole had joined her as Shade watched them laugh as though laughing is strange to her.When they stopped laughing,she clapped her hands in amusement .
"Shoo? Enemy plenty like this?Do you guys realized that what happened to Adisa could happen to anyone,besides,who told you that he's going to serve an extension,na who tell you that,shey na the Z.I. or you just dey ,manufacture am from your industry of lies?"Shade queried. Rachael started laughing again.
"Babe,you too local,you never upgrade,that one no be secret na,in fact,na the talk of the town now.As part of his punishment for insulting the King,he'll have to stay back to serve the town for extra 6 months after which the NYSC year of service is over.Abegi,na who go dey pay am,the King?" Kole started laughing and she quickly joined.Shade walked away.
"Uuuuh! e pain am! Go meet your husband,tell am make e take heart,e go soon dey over" Rachael shouted. Shade shook her head in disappointment. It's not like she didn't know what had transpired between Adisa and the King,in fact she knew that the extra 6 months wasn't a punishment.She knew it was Adisa's idea. This is because she was the only one that approached Adisa to know what transpired between him and the King.
'I only wish Adisa would be my date as they say' She thought to herself as she passed by Adisa's room peeping through the window. Adisa was still planning and scheming,the only thing he's been doing every evening ever since he came back from the King's Palace.
'This could be my break through in life,Shade.So, be happy for me!' He had confided in her.She smiled as she the scene flashed through her mind. 'I'm happy for you dear,I just hope I'll also be there to enjoy the dividends with you...love!' She smiled again,only this time on the verge of laughing.
"What?"
