Mina: "Thank you for this! At least it will last for a few days before I prepare another soup. I love the way they made it; now it's up to me to add my own taste."
Adams: "Where did you get it from?"
Mina: "At 'Iyafemi Restaurant' along the highway."
Adams: "Oh, I know that restaurant. They are one of the best in town! 'Femi,' her first son, was my classmate in secondary school. He was such a stubborn child! I heard he is one of the chefs there."
Adams: "Is Femi a boy?"
Mina: "Femi is a unisex name in the Yoruba tribe; both genders can have the name. 'Iya' means 'mother.'"
Adams: "Oh, so it means 'mother of Femi'? Now I get it. Though I met a guy there who seemed like a manager; he is tall, dark, and huge."
Mina: "Yes, that sounds like him. They started their food business selling street food like Masa and other dishes."
Adams: "Wow, that's great! The restaurant is now a multimillion-dollar business centre. I love their enthusiasm."
Mina: "Yeah, exactly. One needs to start small and aim big, and with perseverance, something great can happen."
Adams: "That's the mindset of an entrepreneur. So, what do you think we can start?"
Mina: "There are many business opportunities out there, but before you venture into any, you must do some feasibility studies and identify the opportunities in the environment where you want to invest."
Adams: "I remember you studied economics at the university. Can you help me research some business ideas in the area? You know I'm quite busy right now and don't have time to do it all."
Mina: "Sure, no problem. But we will need a house help or nanny to look after the kids because managing with them will complicate things for me."
Adams: "Okay, I will talk to my mom about helping us find someone."
Mina: "I'll also speak to my mom."
Trisha: "Dad, I need help finishing my assignment, and I don't understand this."
Adams: "Okay, let me take a look."
Mina: "Go eat your meal; I will handle that."
Adams: "Okay, thank you."
Mina: "Today, while I was buying groceries to prepare lunch before Trisha got home from school, I saw a lady crying bitterly. People were gathering around her, trying to understand her situation; it was really critical.
She explained how armed robbers attacked her home, killed her husband and two children, then kidnapped her and raped her for three days before dumping her where I found her. She was lost and stranded, not knowing where she was.
The people there kept asking about her state of origin, and she said she was from Zuru, Kebbi State. They contributed money to take her to the bus park; it was so heartbreaking.
So many tragedies are happening in this world, and sometimes I wonder if they are real or just dreams. But it really happened. Ever since, I've been overwhelmed by her story; it could happen to anyone. All we can do is pray for protection from such calamities in life."
Adams: "Yeah, things are happening, dear, and as you said, all we need is prayer.
Tomorrow, I'll be leaving for work as early as 7 AM because I have to meet a client by 8 AM. Please wake me up as early as you can."
Mina: "Okay, no problem. Did you enjoy your meal?"
Adams: "Yes, it was great! Your touch made it delicious."
Mina: "You should take a shower before bed; you look sleepy and exhausted."
Adams: "Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. Thanks for the meal."
Mina: "You're welcome, baby."
Adams: "Being betrothed to you was never a mistake. You run in my veins like the blood coursing through my heart, beating in time with you. Please don't leave me alone in the shower; my worship needs your company in the cosy bathroom, and I want to enjoy every moment with you."
Mina: "I know what you want right now. Trisha is asleep; let me put Chosen to bed next to her, and then I'll take care of you with my little skills. After pampering you completely, I'll even wash your liver too." (She said playfully.)
Adams: "Ha! Ha! Ha! I'll be so proud when you join the comedy scene. All my funny skit ideas are coming to life! Come and wash me, babe..." (He said in a thick, humorous voice.)
Mina: "Shhhh! Don't wake them up. Now is the moment I'll shower you with love, and Noah's ark shall rise again. I'm going to flood you with everything I've got right now."
She held his hand and led him to the shower, undressing him. He couldn't wait for her to finish, so he pulled her closer and gave her a sudden, passionate kiss. She sighed dreamily as he cuddled her in his arms. Looking into his eyes, she whispered, "Undress me, please..."
He undressed her and himself, hopping into the shower with her. They snuggled against each other, sharing a blissful, romantic moment with no interruptions.
Adams said, "Thank you for everything you do and for how you make me feel. I'm proud of your beautiful nature. Tonight is a wonderful night." He stepped into bed, feeling overwhelmed with happiness.
Mina replied, "You truly are a champion in this glorious world, and I see your greatness so clearly. It's pure romance, and I love you beyond measure. Good night." They nestled under the duvet together.
As morning approached, Adams detested the sound of the alarm. Mina had set it to ring at 4:00 AM, and it rang precisely on time. Adams woke up with sudden anxiety and turned it off. Mina was already awake. "Dear, you know I don't like this alarm, and you set it," Adams said to her.
Mina replied, "Well, it's the only way to wake you up early because last night you fell asleep so exhaustively. I need to prepare your breakfast while you get ready for prayers, and then you can head to work."
"Okay, thank you," Adams said.
Mina went to the kitchen to microwave food and soups for breakfast while Adams headed to the restroom to shower.
In her transparent nightgown, which was pantless and braless, she walked gracefully around the kitchen. Standing at 5'8", with a 30-inch waist and 44-inch hips, she possessed beautiful light chocolate skin and magnificent black wavy hair. Her glowing, silky smooth skin, black eyes, and angelic voice radiated with charm.
Feeling the urge to pee, she entered the restroom and found Adams showering. After taking care of her business, she dropped her nightgown and hopped into the shower with him. It was a delightful morning temptation, and once again, they shared an intimate moment.
Once they stepped out of the restroom, the food was ready. Mina returned to the kitchen to serve Adams while he dressed for work. He donned his dapper navy blue suit, fitting the role of a nobleman perfectly. Standing at 6'2" with dark chocolate skin, he wore transparent glasses and applied a sweet Arabian fragrance, presenting himself as a handsome gentleman.
Her servitude was impeccable. She served him a breakfast of toasted bread, fried eggs, microwaved roasted chicken, and warm tea. After packing some meals into a flask for his lunch, she handed it to him. It was 6:25 AM when he drove off to work.
He arrived at exactly 6:55 AM and called the client, who arrived at the company's gate at 7:00 AM. Adams went downstairs to greet him.
"Hello, good morning, sir. My name is Adams Suleiman, the Communication Manager of this reputable organization. Welcome to our noble centre," he introduced himself humbly.
"Good morning, sir. My name is Mr. Sharon, an Agency Manager from La Porsche Cooperation in Belgium. It's a pleasure to be here," the client responded, shaking Adams' hand.
They stepped into the elevator, and Adams continued, "It's nice to meet you. We offer a range of services, but our main products include developing electronics and telecommunication gadgets. We also export raw materials like oil and gas, steel, lithium, potassium, calcium, gold, diamonds, and farm products such as yams, cassava, rice, and various grains."
"Please have a seat. What would you like to drink? I have lemon juice, Coca-Cola, Chivita, 5Alive, milk, coffee, and tea," he offered warmly as he led Mr. Sharon into the conference room.
Mr. Sharon replied, "Thank you. Just water will be fine. By the way, I'd love to work with you; your services are highly recommended. I appreciate your hospitality."
Adams responded, "Thank you, sir. Please give me a moment to get you some drinks and gather my colleagues for the meeting."
Mr. Sharon assured him, "Take your time."
By this time, everyone else was already at work.
