That's out of the way, let's get to the main event. Episode 8 starting.......
My tummy was on fire and the hunger pangs
in my stomach had increased ten folds.
Madam handed her little baby to me around
eleven o’clock that morning.
I carried the little baby from that time till
around four in the evening on empty
stomach.
Even the pap I was to give to the baby, I
drank half out of hunger.
I needed to quell the pangs in my stomach
and any edible could do.
Madam woke up around 4.30pm in the
evening and collected her baby from me.
She didn’t even mention anything about
giving me food and this piqued me.
I didn’t know what to do.
I just sat in the kitchen deep in thought. I
had no money on me so I couldn’t think of
buying food. So I just sat there hoping that
a miracle would happen.
Around five minutes past five, madam called
me and gave me N200 to go to a nearby
supermarket and buy bathing soap for her.
I took the money and left immediately.
There was a woman selling freshly prepared
Okpa along the road and the sweet aroma of
the woman’s Okpa suggested new ideas into
my hungry mind.
Before I knew what was happening I bought
two wraps @ N50 each and sat at one
corner of the road to devour it.
The Okpa was very hot yet I ate it quickly
and hungrily.
When I finished, I bought sachet water and
augmented the Okpa and my stomach
returned instantly to normal.
Then I started thinking of a believable
narrative to tell my madam…
