Chapter 39 Room 45: Inside A Match Box 9

• SEVEN DAYS LATER, NOTHING WAS heard about Mathew Gozie. The news, both online and printed media have forgotten about one man arrested for violating the Sharia Law, but Abram Festus hasn’t. He was in door mourning his lover, his fuck mate. Even when he was in the office, Martina, a lady who usually admired him, wishing he’s her soul mate, one she will fuck and be happy in her life with. Abram has refused to give her that look she wants. Rather, he has continued to ignore her, put her off his way whenever she winks for him. The story has always been up-side down for her, never a good one read.
• Even when Martina, who got to know about the birthday of Abram Festus, bought him a gift, something she notices Abram might love, he turn it down. She tries to do everything to win his eyes to her side but Abram has remain a spelled soul, who don’t want to break lose his chamber. He has continued to keep everything secret from everyone. The next day, Martina resolved that she will press on Abram to know why he has refused to look at her eyes. That she is going to host him out for a drink at one of the bar around their workplace. Or she will host him on the weekend at her place forgetting about people will say. “I don’t care”, she said.
• All these were inside the head of Martina, building a hallucination she wants to be a reality she hug all night. So on Friday – a week after the news of Mat became ashes – after the closed of office, Martina dropped a note on Abram desk asking him to meet her at New Dawn restaurant. At first, Abram doesn’t want to honour it but on second thought he decided to show courtesy to it, to be civil about it. Within him, he said, “what does this lady, this Martina really want from me?” He continued, “I am not in the mood for any heterosexual relationship. I don’t have any business with it. I am done with it.”
