“No ma, lunch is ready.” She responded. “Alright, I’m okay..” Amber said with a smile, Sandra nodded and continued with the work, while Amber walked into the bathroom.
Some minutes later, Amber came out of the bathroom and she couldn’t find Sandra in the room, she smiled as she saw her clothes well arranged.
Kunle came down to the dinning room, “No place like home.” He muttered as he sat on the chair.
“What did you cook for lunch?” Kunle asked, rubbing his hands together. “Fried rice and chicken..”
“Uhm, okay that’s good..” He replied, looking around. “Where’s Amber? Where’s my wife?”
“She’s in her room, she was in the bathroom when I left.” Sandra replied. “You didn’t tell her, that lunch is ready?”
“She said that, she’s okay.” Sandra replied. “Okay? Is she eating?” He asked. “No, sir.” She replied.
“She’s not eati…” He didn’t complete his statement as his eyes fell on her, she smiled at him.
“Very good at acting..” He thought. “You can leave now.” She said to Sandra, she left, she turned to Kunle.
“Can’t I have peace again? I’m not the first person to get married to a man, who act like he cares.” Amber said.
“I thought you were smiling some minutes ago? What happened to the smile?”
“I’ve some important work to do.” She said. “At least eat something..” He muttered, pointing at the meal.
“You’re looking for who to poison, maybe you added something like love portion..”
“I would never do that, okay. Why would I even do such devilish thing?” He said. “Because you want me to love you, excuse me.” She replied.
She walked out.
“What the heck? Jesus Christ, all these things is to make me divorce you. Honey you got it wrong, you ain’t going anywhere. We die here, it’s you and I.” He muttered and sat down, he picked up the spoon and shoved the rice in his mouth.
°°°°°°°
After dinner, everyone went to their room. Amber was so tired and she slept off very early. Kunle was in his room, he decided to check on his wife. He knocked on the thrice but go no response, so he opened the door it wasn’t locked, he entered and saw her sleeping.
“Wow, so you can sleep like this? You’re too stubborn, but I know you’re doing all this for a reason. I can’t wait to see the real you, that love in you.” He muttered.
He look at the light, “Who sleeps with the light on?” He said to her, though she was still sleeping.
He kissed her forehead and then off the light before leaving the room, he went back to his room.
By 12am, he heard a loud scream calling, Mom. He quickly got up from the bed and grabbed his phone, he ran out of the room to Amber’s room. He opened the door and turned on the light.
He saw her shivering and shaking in fear, he tried to touch her but she hit his arm. “Leave me alone.. Mom..”
“What’s the matter?” He asked. “Who turned off the light?” She asked, shaking in fear.
“I did. You did, you were trying to ki|| me, right?
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, I will never do that. Why would I even do that?”
“Because you know that am scared of darkness..” She yelled. “I don’t.. ..” He paused, staring at her.
“You wanted me dead..”
“No, Amber I didn’t know that you were scared of darkness. I swear.” He stuttered.
“You probably what to do it, because you were jealous that I was talking to guy. Or because of the way I talked to you in the dinning room.” She yelled.
“Okay, listen to me. I will never do that, that’s the last thing I would do as human. Okay I’m not jealous, okay. And secondly, I’m used to the way you talk.” He replied.
“Get out..” She said, without looking at him. “What did you say?” He asked, as if he didn’t hear her well.
“Leave my room..” She said, in tears. “Okay, fine. Sleep well.” He said and left. She fell back on the bed, crying.
