"What" he said and she gulped down her spit.
"I want you to buy something for me"
"a mentally unstable person"
"fine, I take that back, please, consider the fact that I feed you and cloth you"
"what do you want me to buy for you?"
"I didn't not know that I ran out of it so....
"just talk" he cut her off"
"okay, sanitary pad"
"what is it used for?"
"you don't know?" she asked and he nodded his head and she chuckled inwardly, that is good then , she thought
"nothing, I just need it and because of yesterday incident, am scared to go out"
"fine" he said and she handed him the money, she described the supermarket for him and he left the house. When he reached the supermarket,he greeted the sales girl who returned his greeting with a broad smile that revealed all her teeth.
"good morning" she said and smiled again.
"I want to buy sanitary pad"
"pardon" the sales girl said
"didn't you hear me"
"of course I did, I just found it strange that a man came to buy something like that" the sales girl said and put on a fake smile.
"what is do wrong about buying sanitary pad"
"if it is for your lover,there is no big deal in that"
"excuse me, did you say lover?"
"of course"she said and handed him the sanitary pad
"she isn't my lover"
"come on Mr, if she isn't your lover then you must like her, but still, tell her to always calculate her period, what it comes when she is out in the midst of people, how will she deal with it"
"ah, so that is what this is used for"
"you are very funny mister, who doesn't know" The sales girl said and he burst into laughter, startling the sales girl.
"thank you" he said to the sales girl,even if he wasn't the type to say thank you to someone . He payed the sales girl and headed back home. When he reached home, he went to Eliza's room and handed her the sanitary pad.
"thank you" she said
"of course you should be,how can a lady be so careless"
"careless?" she said and scoffed
"hm, you are not keeping track of your period, it is a very bad attitude" he said and clicked his tongue
"you said you didn't know what sanitary pad is used for, liar!"
"yes I didn't, but the lady who sold it to me told me, she talks too much.
"of course she does, I should pay her a visit"
"am leaving" he said and turned away from her.
"wait" she stopped him and he turned to face her .
"what is it again?"
"help me with one more thing, please"
"what?"
"am not going to work because am still in shock, I was almost kidnapped, so you will help me call my boss, so he will know am not coming"
"okay" he said and moved closer to her
"help me with my bag" she said and he handed it over to her. She opened the handbag and brought out her phone. Thank God I didn't go with this, she thought.
"you will tell him you are my younger brother from last time and that am I'll and can't come, that I will be coming tomorrow, is that clear?"
"hm"
"good" she said and dialed her boss number and put it on speaker and it began ringing.
"hello" a deep voice said and Calohun stared at the screen of the phone. He has seen Eliza making calls lots of time, so he should be able to.
"hello" he said back and Eliza sighed in relief.
"you aren't secretary Eliza" Dan said
"of course am not, am her younger brother from last time and she is ill and cannot come to work today, she will be coming tomorrow"
"okay then, tell her to rest and take care of herself"
"okay bye"
"bye" Dan said and hung up the call.
"good, am sorry for saying you aren't mentally unstable, I guess you really didn't know those things , don't worry, I will teach you a lot of things and help you secure a job, I take it back, seriously"
"okay" he said and left the room. She picked up the sanitary pad and rushed to the toilet.Minutes later,she came out of the bathroom and went to the sitting room and Calohun was there, sitting on the couch and his eyes, closed.
"I will make breakfast" she said and he opened his eyes.
"let's make it together, tomatoe pasta" he said and Eliza smiled.
"okay" she said and they went to the kitchen. Calohun chopped the tomatoes while Eliza chopped the onions.
"you learn pretty fast" Eliza said
"hm" he said.They prepared the meal together and ate their delicious meal, then settled down on the couch in the sitting room. Eliza picked up the television remote and switched on the television and just at then, the doorbell rang. Eliza stood up and went to the door. She peeped through the door hole and widned her eyes. Oh no not James, her heart cried. She knew this day would come, but she wasn't expecting it to be this soon. She cleared her throat and opened the door and James stepped in and she locked the door.
"how come you have a brother I don't know about?" he asked and his eyes fell on Calohun. " is this him?" he asked and looked at Eliza and she smiled at him.
"why didn't you...Wait" he said and moved closer to Calhoun, he leaned forward and studied him closely. He then scratched his eyebrows and scoffed. " Is this your perfect plan hm" he said, "Eliza" he yelled.
