The Agony Of Beauty - Episode 3
It was the loud sound of a nearby Trailer's horn that woke me up. My Aunt gave me some snacks. I ate with little appetite. It was such a long trip. We finally got to Jos around past nine in the evening. I was so tired and exhausted.
We got to my Aunt's apartment late in the night. I wasn't sure of the time because my wristwatch suddenly stopped working after we alighted from the bus. We entered her flat and my Aunt took me straight to the guest room. 'Feel at home dear, you will be fine', she said. I thanked her and she left after I insisted that I will eat my leftover snacks for dinner. I ate and later had a shower in the adjoining guest bathroom.

'Beauty, wake up! it's 6:00am already'. I woke up to a gentle tap on my shoulder, still smiling like an idiot. It was my Aunt. Aunty Tope is an early riser. I opened my eye lids gently. "Who are you smiling at by the way ?" She asked. I stretched and yawned. So, I have been dreaming? I thought. 'Nobody ma', I replied.
"How are you this morning?" I am fine Aunty, and you?
"I am good. Come with me to the kitchen, let us prepare breakfast, we must leave for the market, latest by 8:00am and by the way, you haven't met my husband, he is waiting for you in the living room"
That very day I met my Aunt's husband marked the beginning of my agony...
