Pleasure hotel, mainland

(At the bar in the hotel)

{Enter Ayo and Ubong}

UBONG

I just got off the phone with the BOSS. He wants me to come over to his place

AYO

Oh, I hope no problem?

UBONG

I hope not too

AYO

So when do you plan on going home

UBONG

I’ll go next week. I just want to finish my next game with Mr. Henry

AYO

Oh. That game?

UBONG

Yes that game.

AYO

So, do you have what to say to your wife when you see her?

UBONG

I do. But I don’t know how to say what I have to say to her.

AYO

HMMM

UBONG

You see, Uyai is the most beautiful girl, I’ve ever seen. Men, she’s so beautiful and you have notice that too.

AYO

Are you tripping?

UBONG

Of course, she’s my wife.

AYO

I see. Was she not your wife when you were treating her the way you did?

UBONG

Ayo, I messed up, big time. But this is it. Whenever she sleeps, I admire her. The way her lips curves and how cute she looks. She has the softest skin like that of a baby. Anytime she touches me, oh my God! mouth cannot describe the way I feel at that moment.
That sensation drives me crazy. Are you talking about her figure? Hmm, compared to all the ladies I’ve seen, my wife is the most sexy. God took his time in creating Uyai. she’s an angel.

AYO

She is angel indeed for her to even stay with you up until now. So all this compliment, did you just notice them or you’ve noticed them?

UBONG

Well, that and more is all I saw from the first day we were together till now

AYO

Oh my friend, did you ever loved her?

UBONG

Ayo, what people know about Mr. Nsikan Itim is that he paid his debt using Uyai, how could I refuse. She is a germ at first sight.
But, what people don’t know, not even his children, was how he rubbished me in front of BOSS.
He told BOSS that I was in need of ten million to host my wedding. The BOSS was so excited that finally I was getting married. He gave Nsikan the money. The following week I went to work and the BOSS congratulated me he told me too use the money wisely and if I have any other expenses I should not fail to ask. I was shocked I wondered, what money was he talking about and what expenses was he referring too? I summoned the courage to ask the BOSS and he showed me the paper signed in my name and collected by Mr. Nsikan Itim. I was devastated.
How on earth would I pay back ten million with the amount I’m being paid.  The BOSS took that as an opportunity to sit on me. Whatever he wanted, I gave. I was angry and I transferred it to Uyai. Especially when I heard Nsiken ran way with the money.
Ayo, I’m still paying that money. After this game with Mr. Henry, all my debt will be paid

AYO

Wow, I didn’t know. Uyai has really paid for her father’s sin

UBONG

Back to your question. I love Uyai. I have loved her from the start, but I can’t bring myself to show her or tell her.

AYO

Well, you must win this game. Pay off all your debt and show that woman some love please.

UBONG

I have no choice.

AYO

Alright Bro, let me get back to work

UBONG

OK, we’ll see later
