Iya bournvita
My heart cries for just one woman. She is not goodlooking, yet she is beautiful. She is just the woman i have dreamt to spend all my life with. She is my last step to happiness. I have achieved all my life's ambition. I have a house, even if it is uncompleted and the plumbing bad. - hey, i don't need to pay rent. That means enough money saved up on rent. I have a car. A station wagon that makes too much noise. But hey, what is a little noise?enough room for my future kids. I am fulfilled. all i need to add to the pretty picture of my house is a wife. My wife. My TinuI met Tinu on my way out one fine day. I offered to give her a lift. She accepted. My car was practically crawling and making enough noise to raise the dead. I felt good. Is this not what cruising in the neigborhood was all about? I ignored the dirty looks passersby sent my way and the angry honking of angry pedistrians and cars as they passed me. One actually screamed at me"see mr titus, go and do smtg about this your car. It is polluting the air" i just shrugged.Life is good. Life is really beautiful. I have a car and a house and people were only jealous because of my achievements. I smiled at Tinu and winked. She smiled back. Out of amusement or just plain frustration at the slow pace of the car, i don't really know. As i neared where she would drop, she gave an audible sigh. was that frustration i heard or just dissappoitment on having to end the pleasant journey? i think she is just dissapointed to be leaving my company, i thought. Satisfied with my own explanation. From then on, we became friends, no - very good friends. Did i hear u say wedding bells? But first, i had to meet her mother.Iya bournvita. A mother in law from the land of taking. Iya bournvita as i call her, not out of any affection of any kind, but out of frustration. Iya bournvita made it clear that i don not come to see her daughter without dropping something. I had to go there brandishing provisions like milk, sugar, sardine, bread and so on. She was my only pain. She was the only one stopping me from reaching my goals with tinu. Each time i went to see tinu, Iya bournvita would sit in front of their house, like she had been expecting me, scratching her..... plain tired
