TITLE- TWO MAN BUSINESS Episode Fourteen - LOVE MARRIAGE AND FRIENDSHIP. I have never seen my Anike so beautiful, she was looking like a million dollars, the last time I saw her like this was in a dream, I saw her on our wedding day looking graciously beautiful, her pathway to the altar was littered with beautiful golden roses which perfectly matched the yellow embroided tail of her wedding gown. Anike was the definition of Royalty in that dream… Today my Anike is dressed in a sleek black gown that ended just above her knee; her beautiful spotless skin was nsync with the meticulously carved Deola Sagoe piece, one of my numerous gifts to her. The firmness of her bosom was a wow sight and the sight of her cleavage would send shivers down any man’s spine. The simplicity of her make-up complemented her child-like smile. I almost knelt to ask her to marry me on the spot but “James Bond no dey rush”, she graced the black gown with a yellow shoe and bag and the heels of her shoe sef na elele… it is not easy to be a fine, enterprising and intelligent guy, see as Anike dey roll her curves just to remind me of her hotness and protect her interest like say na me be Bill Gate. Anyway I will fight for her too if I have to… again, I know Anike is not dressed to impress me alone but to also send a message to Funke Salman that she is the rightful owner of this handsome dude; My humble self “EDWIN BABATUNDE ALEXANDER” as it was Sunday and we were visiting the Salmans. I have prayed to God not kill Wole for me o, I have again borrowed his car for today’s outing, in fact I think I will just buy this car from him since na me dey kuku use ahm sef… but what are friends for, atleast the guy too dey bring hin “you must chop my money” babes to my house and they will eat my food, use my stadium to the play match and sometimes the guy they borrow boots for the match sef… what are friends for? We are even jare... I had decided to wear a black pants, my pink shirt since that is Anikes favourite colour and bless it with my black mauri shoe jejely o, but madam Anike had a different plan, she said our dressing must be complimentary, we must look like a couple, shey you are going to impress another person ni to use her words. So I finally left the house wearing a yellow Hawes and Curtis shirt, a black pants and a black suede shoe. Off course we had a discussion on how I must behave when we get to the Salmans, or should I called them Madams threats... - I must sit beside her and not opposite her when we get to the Salmans. - I must not leave her alone with Funke at any point and I must not be alone with Funke Salman throughout the visit. - I must not make any form of joke about our relationship. Even if it is not an embarrassing thing and... - I should allow her be my wife, meaning; she is in charge of my well being for the day... I sighed and said okay, after reciting a little prayer for “the spirit of my mothers head” to follow me so I can survive today. I know Anike can be a jealous lady, she doesnt play with anything that will take her man from her, on the other hand, I understand Funke to be the simple type, her intention is not to take Anikes husband but to talk to her newly found brother freely and I personally need Funke to make the money I will use to take care of Anike, so dearest God help me to help this two ladies to understand themselves... In fact I became so scared at a point and I started feeling sick but Man na Man and E.B.A nah Boss Man... No shaking. I locked the door to my apartment and complimented Anike again, I said; You are the best thing that ever happened to me and you look so beautiful today I feel like the luckiest, richest and blessed man alive and planted a kiss on her check... She gave me a soft smile, followed by the “talk to the hand” sign and replied; Ahh Babatunde... Your mouth is just too sweet, is this the first time you are seeing me? Dont flatter me joo. I know you guys dont know My Anike like I do, anytime you compliment her and she plays it down, sing a victory song in your heart because you have planted a Boko Haram Bomb in her head and the head is swelling already, just pray it doesnt blow patapata... on my side that compliment was a bribe too, so I can make her happy and enjoy my visit to the Salman, it is also a compulsory assignment I must do... I cannot count how many fights we have had just because I didnt compliment her one time or the other. We were on our way and Anikes choice of songs were motivating, the songs were flowing and I understood how she felt, Anike was following her man to go and close the dream deal, which will usher in the blessing of a dream pay, a dream car, a lavish apartment and off course the vacations... Now, I know why She became a disc jockey in the car, she started with the popular gospel tune... Koso ba bire... Kosi Baba bire... Koma solorun bii re... Igwe... Then moved on to other thanksgiving songs, she even played 9ices wedding day and sang along while looking at me most of the time... Womaaaaaannnn....!!!. She danced all through the trip and signalled me to join the happy moment at intervals which I gladly did. You dont want Anikes wahala on a day like this, she won’t shout at you o, but you won’t her to be quite too, if you know what I mean. We landed safely at the Salmans residence, Anike looked at me and smiled as we got out of the car, I waited for her to adjust her dress and took her hand and I lead her to the beautiful door leading to the main lounge... I felt sick again and my heart beat increased but today na today, I looked at my beautiful Anike, winked and smiled at her, she smile back, I was about to plant a kiss on the forehead when Funke Salman opened the Door. With excitement and full joy Funke greeted Anike just like I prayed she would, a warm smile, hug and sweet compliment of her dress and looks, she concluded by telling Anike she is the luckiest girl alive to have me as her man, Anikes replies were also western and on point... My baby dey rep die... We walked in and Alhaji called me over...; Babatunde my son, come here... It is nice to see you again, your sister has talked about you almost every day since the last time I saw you in her office I walk to him and we shook hands, Anike went on her knee to greet Alhaji and he was impressed, he told us we were beautiful together and he couldnt wait to receive invite for our wedding. Then Funke Salman came out looking different, when we got to their residence she was wearing a blue jean, a long Indian designed top and a veil over her head, now she is dressed in a multi colour Ankara gown and a veil, cute girl and those eyes I have not still found a way to stop admiring them. She invited us to the dining area and I again held Anikes hand as we walked over to eat... Funke served her Dad first then Anike before she served me and herself, the meal was Ofada rice, made with a difference, there was green peas, sweet corn and other medemedes in it, and the Ayamase sauce was on point chicken, gizzard, shaki and liver with other usual orisirisi, and I must not forget the home squeezed orange juice as usual, what a meal...! Alhaji broke the silence as we ate; Hope you are enjoying your food Anike? he asked, Yes sir my baby answered with a gracious smile... I smiled at Anike and added; Anike has an excellent tongue for taste, on like me, anything goes when am hungry, I just want to eat and fill my tummy... Funke laughed, she told her Dad and Anike not to believe me, she continued; Huh, Mr Babatunde... You have an excellent taste for food o... I have seen you eat several times and your choice of meals were not bad That statement Funke made was already in Anikes head, I had to beg and explain what seen you eat several times meant later that night. We finish our meals and Alhaji advised me and Anike on marital issues, he told us we looked like a couple already so we should try as much as we can to keep the love fresh, he prayed for us and promised again to grace our wedding insha Allahu... Funke also admired our union and told Anike to take care of her brother... to which Anike replied she would keep trying. Each time compliments were paid to Anike... I receive either a pinch on my thigh or a stump on my foot under the table... My baby head dey swell like no man business that is another way Anike manages head swelling things. Funke invited Anike on an excursion on the property so I and Alhaji could talk, Anike looked at me for approval and I broke another rule for the night... I made a joke about our relationship. WARNING NO.3, I said; Yes Anike, let Funke show you around you will love it, especially the peacocks, Abi you dont want to leave your husband... Iyawo yawoo... Alhaji and Funke laughed but I noticed Anike forced a smile as she makes space to get out of her sit and walked out with Funke holding hands, Alhaji Salman lead me to the living area holding my hand as usual and I followed with humble steps. I finished my discussion with Alhaji and we joined the ladies in the garden where they were feeding the peacocks, I was surprised the way I saw Anike and Funke gisting and laughing, I said a little prayer and thanked God for answering my prayers on this ladies. They clicked..! They finally noticed us and walked over... Alhaji asked Anike if she had fun and she confessed that it was a wonderful experience, she also told Alhaji he had a magnificent mansion ...it is Beautiful, elegant and serene, to use my babys words. Alhaji and Funke walked us to our car, and I heard the ladies say see you soon... Ehnn?, See you soon ke? So I was just afraid for nothing... I gave Funke a hug and she told me to take care of her wife o... I told Alhaji I will bring the proposal over by next Sunday and he told me to take my time and come up with a very good one... Funke gave me a thumps up sign; she gave Anike a hug and told her to take care of her brother too. We had barely made it out of the Salmans residence when Anike asked; So we are working for SKS now abi? No I replied. “Why” she pressed, “Nothing”, I answered. Anike looked at me, wanted to say something then she kept quiet and looked on, I wanted to explain what happened and my mystery plan to her too but I am enjoying the suspense in this... I will tell her when we get home jo... I placed my right hand on her left hand and squeezed it and my Anisky pepperoni squeezed back... just like Micheal Scofeild and Sarah in the action sitcom series PRISON BREAK, Anike trusts her man and she believes he will always have a plan and I will not fail her, So help me GOD. watch out for the last episode TITLE- TWO MAN BUSINESS
