MY NEIGHBOUR PART 1

My neighbour, a handsome, and promising young man who spends money only when he sees a girl had a life experience last sunday that changed his life.

Well, he has been programming this babe for the past 6 months, finally, the babe agreed to visit him last sunday, and probably spend a night or two.

I was in my flat, minding my business, he came knocking. He begged that I help him go
to the market, and buy stuff for soup and fried rice, and to help him prepare food for the said babe, which I obliged but not without terms and conditions which includes paying me a particular sum of money as 'nwafo igbo' wey I be lol. He insisted that if he must pay me, that I wouldn't have a taste of the food when its ready... Oho! What I'm I doing with fried rice and chicken, I opted for the cash mbok!.





When I arrived from the market, I noticed that this dude has changed his flat completely, first, I noticed that generator was on in his flat... This is same dude we have been asking to go buy generator, not everytime he will be looking for where to charge his phone. Then, I couldn't locate his table top television, he has actually bought a flat screen television, then the new dinning set I noticed as well in his dinning room. In fact, everything was just looking "tear rubber-ish"... I laughed, this must be serious, my stingy neighbour did all these just to impress a lady, inukwanu ifunanya!

Meanwhile, I never knew he was serious when he said I wouldn't have a taste of the food if he should pay me, I only discovered how serious he was when I finished helping him with the meal. How can I smell fried rice and chicken that I prepared without having a taste of it? Enyi okom mua bukwa onye obi akpo seriously oo lol. He gave me a piece of chicken, then knelt down and begged me not to come around his flat for like one week when the babe must have come and gone as he wouldn't want me to spoil runs for him lolz.

He gave me part payment of my service and promise to bring the balance later in the evening. As a gentle babe wey I be, I collected part of my pay for the service rendered and 'jejely' creeped into my flat with the hope of collecting my balance later (I no dey take money play), looking through the window anytime the gate opens so as to see this babe that brought this kind of transformation in the life of my stingy neighbour. I observed till around 6pm, I didn't notice any visitor. As amebo wey I be, I decided to stroll down his flat and observe movement to ascertain if the babe has finally arrived.

I walked towards his flat with my ears on the ground, but it was graced with silence. I would have turned back and walk back to my flat  if not for the smell of atomic bomb I perceived. The smell coming out of my neighbour's flat was like that of a burning house... Wetin happen?

I ran towards his protector and banged it so hard, to me, it was a first aid mission. My neighbour came out wearing a nose mask. "What's happening, is your house burning?" I asked him while I went in to check as smoke was gushing out from his flat. He said "Anita, its the generator, it got overheated and started burning my electronics and wires, as I speak to you now, the only electronics working here now is my phone charger, even all the bulbs blew". Now, this is funny, but I can't laugh because the way he was looking furious, he might bite off my nose if I should attempt to giggle come to talk of laughing.

I asked him about the babe he was expecting that made him buy a generator in the first place, he said "Anita, that idiot called to tell me she can't make it". "So what happens to the food you prepared?" I asked him, (with his voice raised up) "go carry the soup, the fried rice and chicken, I don't think I will have appetite to eat it", he responded (now, my heart started leaping in joy, but you know I must appear sympathetic lol).

I wanted to sound more convincing that I'm really sympathetic about the situation, so I suggested to him to put the soup in the fridge while I eat the fried rice and chicken... See gobe oo, the dude ran mad with the suggestion, he shouted "mumu! I told you that the only electronics working here right now is my phone charger, or didn't you hear when I said that!? My new television, my fridge and all the bulbs in this house blew! Even the generator too spoilt, the worst is that I borrowed that generator!... All these I lost because of one imbecile girl!".

"Chio! Dude why you dey shout for me naa, abi na me say make you be "ahu nwanyi irie ego?" (I queried in my mind).

Well, before he will change his mind, I stormed his kitchen, took the soup, the fried rice and chicken. I left him some grains incase be eventually become hungry which I doubt he will as the damage in his house was a collateral one lol.

"Ala adighi mma, uru ndi nze"

when I was about to leave, I wanted to ask him for the balance of the payment of the service I rendered which is the food I helped him to cook, but with the look on his eyes, if I dare mention that, he will definitely commit murder, and honestly, I don't want to be a victim.

Its four days now, and my neighbour hasn't said anything about paying off for the services, I'm thinking of going to request for that balance, but his countenance since that sunday till now hasn't been a friendly one lolz.

Please advise me, how do I go about getting my balance because I have planned what to do with that money.
