“So let me know, if you don’t want to continue again, I won’t disturb you, I won’t hold you!… Let me know uwo uwo if you don’t want to continue again, I won’t disturb you, I won’t hold you… But don’t call me back o, don’t call me baaaack! When you see that I’m with another person, baby don’t call me back o, don’t call me baaaack when you see me with another girl…”
Kpaam! Kpaam!! Kpaam!!!
The bathroom door was being banged violently like they were going to break it down.
Where? She didn’t even know someone was knocking; instead, she increased the volume of the song in her earphones.
"Even if you call e no go connect, cos I no go dey, I no go dey make you forget, come another day…" she sang, twisting her body like a snake, rubbing her foam-covered body in a seductive manner.
The door was banged again with a force so loud she heard it even through her earphones.
She quickly turned towards the door, pulling out the earbuds at once.
"Will you open this door for God’s sake!!" someone shouted from outside, banging even harder.
Her eyes widened as if they would pop out, and she started rinsing herself in a panic.
"ZAINAB!" the voice called again, clearly furious.
"Y–yes mummy, I swear I'm… coming out now!" she stuttered, shaking as she grabbed a towel from the hanger, not even properly rinsed, stepping out of the bathtub and heading toward the door trembling.
She stared at the door in fear, unable to bring herself to open it.
"Will you not come out?!" the voice yelled again, making her flinch.
Hands shaking, she unlatched the door — ready to run.
She flung the door open and dashed out screaming at the top of her voice.
Mummy stepped back, almost falling, but grabbed a metal bar beside her to keep from hitting the floor.
Zainab ran out with her eyes shut, screaming "Daddy!" at the top of her lungs.
Not caring about her towel almost falling off, she sprinted downstairs past the house workers in the living room.
They all froze and stared at her in shock, then looked sadly at Madam behind her.
Before they even processed what was happening, Hajiya (Mummy) stormed down the stairs too, phone charger cable in her hand, shouting Zainab’s name as she tried to catch her before she reached outside.
The workers quickly bowed their heads respectfully as she passed.
Zainab ran through the compound, her thighs fully exposed, the workers watching in surprise — but she didn’t care.
Her only goal: reach Daddy’s part of the house before mummy catches her.
When mummy came out too, the workers stiffened and greeted her.
She ignored all of them and headed straight for Daddy’s section.
Daddy was seated comfortably in a soft chair, discussing something with his manager who was showing him a laptop.
“Daddy! Oh God, I'm finished!” Zainab’s scream echoed, making them both look toward the door.
The door banged open — she burst in like someone thrown inside.
Before Daddy could blink, she ran to him and grabbed him tightly, screaming hysterically.
Daddy was completely confused; she was screaming so loudly he couldn’t even ask what was wrong. She clung to him like someone being slaughtered.
The manager stood aside staring at her — half her fresh breasts exposed, her smooth thighs showing — he licked his lips unconsciously.
Mummy’s sudden entrance made him jerk his eyes away and humble himself.
Seeing mummy, Zainab screamed even louder, squeezing Daddy tighter, trembling violently.
Only then Daddy understood what was happening. He glared angrily at mummy.
Mummy tried to grab Zainab from behind him.
