Part 30
At 11:20, madam called my name from downstairs to come and eat my breakfast, I came out and went to the dinning table. She had prepared rice and stew with stock fish and beef, I put on a “straight face” while I sat down to eat. Madam served the food and came to sit beside me. She patted my laps and ask if anything was wrong, I replied “nothing ma”. After the meal, I packed the plates, took them to the kitchen and washed. I arranged all the plates into the shelf. I took a mob, mobbed the kitchen and the tiles in the living room while madam was standing upstairs watching. I dusted all the chairs and electronics, arranged all the room and went out of the compound. I trimmed the flowers and swept the back of the house, I did all this with a frown on my face and never smiled. I returned inside, walked past madam as I was sweating and returned to my room. I had a shower and slept off with my phone switched off. I woke up around 5pm. I switched on my phone and I got whatsapp messages from janet telling me about her exams. And a text message from madam telling me “weldone, you are such a hardworking boy.”. I went down stairs to tutor gideon. I asked of mummy from gideon and I was told she went out. When I was through with him, I went to the kitchen, checked the food time table and it was spiced spagetti on the menu. I arranged the pot, called sikirat for guidelines, and prepared it the best way I could. I ate mine and served gideon while I went straight to bed at 8pm. I was inside my room chatting with janet when madam entered the house. I could hear her voice and communications with gideon.
At 10:20pm that saturday night, my phone started ringing. I checked and it was madam, I placed it on silent and refused to pick. She called 5 times but I still didn’t pick. Then a text message came in and I read. “You amazed me with the level of your hardwork today, you tidied everywhere without any instructions and supervision, you are such a good boy. One more thing, my laptop is frozen somehow , can you please come here and help me get it fixed?”. I saw the text and laughed. I dropped the phone, ignored the message and tried to sleep.
At few minutes pass 11pm, I heard a feeble knock on my door, **wetin gideon dey find for here this time of the night?, or ebi madam send am to me?**** I thought before asking“who is there?. Its me “mummy ”, Open the door.
