PART 1
” RECKLESS REKKY”
Opeyemi O.Akintunde
” Baby! Get up! It past 7 already!” Rekky said to Osmond…His drool was all over the pillow
” My husband will be worried sick by now!” Rekky said hissing continuously as she looked around for her underwear.
” Stop looking for it. I have kept it. Another trophy I must keep. I particularly love the colour…” Osmond said
” No, you can not keep my pant this time around…you have kept over 7 of them. Caleb was asking me about the onion colour pant he bought for me. I had to lie that it was in the dryer.”
” You have to cook up another lie this time around…I am not letting go of this one… I totally love it ” Osmond said
Rekky knew there was no point arguing with him. Osmond was stubborn in all areas, including in bed which was why she was still having this relationship with him.
” Fine!” She said angrily “But know that I am not happy” Rekky said before storming out of the house.
******
” Oh sh..t” Rekky cursed.
Osmond’s neighbour who was a doctor had blocked her car. He was the night shift Doctor. Rekky always tried to get out of the house before he came back from work around 7am.
The downside to this was that whenever he went up to his flat to sleep, no one dared call him before 10am.
” Osmond!” Rekky called out.
” Yeah!” Osmond replied from his window.
Without saying a word, Osmond understood what Rekky was saying. There was no way she would leave before 10am.
” Come back in!” Osmond said with a wry smile.
” I ‘d rather walk back home!” Rekky said as she walked towards the gate.
” How on earth am I going to get home before 8.” Rekky had several thoughts as she walked away from Osmond’s gate, but Tams interrupted her thoughts with her phone call. She knew exactly why Tams was calling.
” Hello…he has been calling you, I guess” Rekky said
” Yes, I have 42 missed calls…all from my friend’s husband. Unfortunately for me, my over protective husband keeps casting glances at me thinking I am avoiding the calls of one of my boyfriends. So where are you?” Tams said
” On my way home. We had a reckless night!”
” Rekky, when are you going to stop this reckless life!”
” When you stop yours!”
” Mine is not reckless!”
” Oh Really? Are you telling me you have not slept with another man aside from your husband in the past one month!”
” That is my point, I am not reckless, I am very careful and considerate of my husband. I do mine once in a month, but you do…”
” Every week….Yeah it’s my choice…My body.”
The blaring of a nearby horn startles Rekky…
“ What the f….k!” Rekky cursed as she turned back to see a young guy of about 25 years old blaring his car horn at her…
“ Can you get off the road!” Banjo said as he got out of the car halfway.
“ Is it your road?” Rekky replied
“ Is it your father’s road?” Banjo said in response
“ Is it your Mother’s road?” Rekky repeated the question in a different way.
“ Is it your Sister’s road?” Banjo was not someone to give up something easily.
“ Is it your Brother’s road?” Rekky said
“ Is it your grandfather’s road?” Banjo answered
“ Is it your grandmother’s road?” Rekky said hotly
At this point, they both stared hard at each other not knowing which other punch to throw at each other… suddenly Rekky says…
“ Is it your ancestors’ road?”
“ Well, it is my ancestors’ road because I was born and bred in this town.”
At that point, they both burst into laughter…
“ I guess we must be alike…?” Banjo said
“ I am thinking you are a spontaneous person like me” Rekky said
“ But I am suspecting you are more spontaneous and adventurous than I am” Banjo said.
He walks up close to her and stretches his hand forward for a handshake…
“ Banjo Philips, handsome and very available single young man!” Banjo said giving a full smile
Rekky gives a flirty smile before saying…
“ Rekky Adams, beautiful, sexy married woman who is readily available for some extra adventure.” Rekky says.
Banjo was caught off guard but he smiles almost immediately after few seconds.
“ Can I drop you off at home, get down to some adventure since your husband is not in town!” Banjo said
“ Your phone?” Rekky said instead.
Banjo looked at her surprisingly but notwithstanding he gave her the phone. Rekky typed in the address on the map…
“ We should be there in 45 minutes. My husband should be out of the house by then.” Rekky said getting into his car.
Banjo was scared about this one. She was too adventurous for his liking. He hoped his planned adventure was going to go as planned …

PART 2
” RECKLESS REKKY”
“ Rekky! Hello! Rekky!” Tams was still on the other side of the call…
“ Rekky is crazy!” Tams said. She wasn’t planning on ending the call, she wanted to hear their entire conversation. Tams plugged in her headphones as she continued her house chores…
******
“ I am guessing you had a night meal at someone’s place!”
“ Night Meal? I don’t eat past 6pm, Watching my tommy!”
“ Who is talking about that kind of Meal?” Banjo said laughing at her ignorance
“ Oh! I get … Yeah it was a very Chunky and Choking Night Meal but I survived because I am Rekky!” Rekky said laughing
“ Your husband? Does he know what you do?”
“ What I do?”
“ I mean, your sleeping around with guys!”
“ Huh huh!”
“ He knows?”
“ Huh Huh!”
“ I am afraid I don’t understand Huh Huh…”Banjo said laughing
“Yes!”
“ Yes what?”
“ Gush! You like to probe! Yes! My husband knows I like to f..k other men! And he has been living with it for 6 years!”
“ Is he impotent?”
********
“ Same question I ask her all the time!” Tams said out loud while listening in on their conversation via Rekky’s phone.
*******
“ No, he is not! But I am not Satisfied with one man and I told him before we got married, before you think I deceived him into marrying me.”
“ Exactly what’s going on in my head!”
“ I didn’t, he came to me and said he knew I was his soulmate. I told him I knew I was destined to be married to more than one husband and he laughed about it. I warned him against marrying me but he was so stubborn about it. Well, we are married and I am who I told him I was going to be.”
“ Wow! You are crazy!”
“ I am more crazy than you can imagine! I have done some crazy things while driving… You want me to try something crazy on you?” Rekky said
“ Ok?” Banjo said
******
“ Gush! Rekky you are so unbelievably irritating! How can you do this on a total stranger!” Tams said to herself as she was still listening to Rekky’s conversation. She knew what her friend was doing to the stranger.
“ Yuck!” Tams said with a face that showed irritation
*******
Banjo couldn’t believe the opportunity that presented itself cheaply to him. As Rekky bent her head on his lap, he took the syringe and injected her sharply….
“ Ha!… What the f…k, what did you injecttttt me!”Rekky was saying but she realized she was losing control over the parts of her body. She couldn’t feel her hands or legs…
“ Nonsense… Stupid woman! You like adventure right? You will have enough of it…This is me helping your husband get rid of you!” Banjo said
*******
Tams became afraid, she could tell something had gone wrong.
“ Hello! Rekky! Are you there?” Tams said whispering.
She heard nothing except the man dialing a person!
“ Bird in nest!” He said
Fear gripped Tams’ heart as she staggered.
“ Rekky!”
*********
Martins knew Rekky had blocked his line for the night. That was her Usual way. She would block his line from reaching her whenever she went out on her nightly escapades.
“ All these will be ending today!” Martins encouraged himself as he examined the papers in the brown envelope.
It was the divorce papers he wanted to serve Rekky. He had endured enough and as a man of peace, he didn’t want to be pushed to a point where he kills her. He had not made love to Rekky for 8 months and she was always going out of the house every weekend coming back home every Monday oozing different male perfumes.
That weekend had been different though. She had slept at home on Friday and Saturday, her Sexcapades had been limited to the daytime.
Martins was done. DONE in capital letters.
As a Morally upright man, he couldn’t cheat on Rekky. Chioma, the woman of his youth was back in his life. He met her two months earlier at a company he went for work presentation. She was the M.D of the company. She was 40 and still unmarried.
The scenario played back in his head and he couldn’t help but smile…
He had been sitting in the conference room with the Staff members of the company. They were all waiting for the “ Madam” who they all seemed fond of. Martins had heard some of the conversations the staff were having…
“ You are wearing the perfume Madam bought you last Christmas!” A man said to a Lady
“ Yes, it’s on purpose, so that I can get another one this Christmas. Christmas is in 23 days time.” The girl said laughing
“ I heard that!” The familiar voice said from the doorway.
There was a chorused laughter from the staff as they all stood up in respect.
Martins sat glued on the Chair as his eyes followed the beautiful woman who walked elegantly into the conference room…
Martins’ tongue was invisibly tied…
“ Good Day Mr….” Chioma said in an official tone yet with her iconic full smile.
“ Mr Martins…. From Britle &Britle” One of the Staff who was Martins’ contact in the company jumped in to save Martins.
“ Ok, Mr Martins.. I have only Fifteen minutes. Would that be enough time for you to sell your company to us!” Chioma said smiling.
“ Sureeee Ma!”
Martins gave the worst presentation of his life that afternoon and if judging by what he did, his company was not going to get the contract but Chioma said at the end of his presentation…
“ It would be a delight to work with your company! please bring in the necessary papers tomorrow! Thank you… Please do extend my love to your family” Chioma said casting her glance at his wedding ring. This was the first time in Martins’ life he wished he forgot his wedding ring at home.
Chioma was about to step out of the conference room, but Martins knew he couldn’t afford to lose the opportunity…
“ Chioma Nwabueze !” Martins said .
The Staff members were all shocked and there was a brief moment of silence…
Chioma turned and said…
“ Leave us alone!” Chioma said to her staff…
The moment the door was shut, Chioma ran towards Martins and gave him a big hug…
The hug must have lasted 5 minutes of both of them not saying anything to each other. Chioma kept sobbing.
Martins was soaking in her smell. Despite her expensive perfume, Martins knew her smell. How could he forget his Chioma. His Childhood bestie turned girlfriend, turned fiancée. As they hugged for those few minutes, Martins played back their time together, it was bliss….

“ We should be there in 45 minutes. My husband should be out of the house by then.” Rekky said getting into his car.
Banjo was scared about this one. She was too adventurous for his liking. He hoped his planned adventure was going to go as planned …

PART 3
” RECKLESS REKKY”
Opeyemi O.Akintunde
Chioma was his childhood bestie who he could tell anything and everything to. It was not surprising to both families when they started dating. Infact they got the full Support of both families though they were just teenagers. At the time they started dating, Chioma was 15, while he was 16. The two families had nothing against he and Chioma, although they were cautioned on several occasions not to indulge in any form of sexual activity.
However, after dating for 13 years, trouble came into their paradise.
In the 13 years relationship, they had been seperated physically for about five years when Chioma travelled out of the country to have her First degree and Masters. Yet their relationship was still strong and intact. They spoke on a daily basis.
On her return, Martins had organized a surprise proposal for her at a Luxury hotel faraway from town. As a result, Chioma and Martins had to lodge at the hotel overnight. Martins wanted them to share a room but Chioma insisted on different rooms. Martins smiled knowing Chioma was big on sexual purity. He honoured her request and they slept in different rooms.
Very early the next day he went to her room hoping to get her to Kiss him and possibly force her to do some extra. Chioma blocked him from entering her room but Martins saw it as fun. Martins forced his way into the room and rushed in landing on the bed…
“ Now let’s see who will get me out of…” Martins was saying but suddenly he paused and stood up from the bed. The back of his shirt was soaked. Chioma had tears flowing down her cheeks. Martins could tell this was one thing he never knew about Chioma.
Martins wanted to believe the liquid that was on her bed was water and not urine. He bent close to the bed and what came out of his mouth was…
“ No Chioma, No… tell me this was a mistake…”
Chioma didn’t say a word as she knelt down crying…
From that day, things didn’t remain the same. Martins couldn’t deal with having a wife that would be bedwetting.
Their relationship continued for another 5 years. Martins wanted her to stop bedwetting before marriage, but Medically it was said that she had the loss of bladder control at night.
After the fifth year of waiting for a change, he met Rekky. Rekky worked at an Office nearby. The first time he saw her, he knew she was the real deal. He just had a test she had to pass. He wasn’t going to go blindly into any relationship in the name of sexual purity. He therefore ensured he slept with Rekky. On waking up, he examined the bed to ensure there was no bedwetting. He examined all parts of her body to be sure nothing was out of place.
Rekky seemed perfect for him, except for her occasional jesting about having multiple boyfriends after marriage…
“ As for me, if you do not satisfy me the way you should, I will have 50 boyfriends in addition to you. I can’t deal with a boring sex life.” Rekky was always saying
Martins never took it serious until after marriage and in the space of 1 month, he had seen over 10 text messages from different men on how good she was in bed.
The continuous vibration from his phone cut the flow of his memories. He took the phone and read the text from Tams…
“ I need to speak to you urgently!”
He was not in the mood for any chitchat. Instead of calling her back. He texted…
“ If this has anything to do with Rekky, I am done…Today is the end of my pain with her. I have ensured that. My calling you was just for formality. I am moving on!”
******
Tams had to read the message over 6 times…
“ Am I hallucinating or something… Martins ordered the Kidnap?” Tams thought as she kept listening to Rekky’s call hoping to get more information. She didn’t want to believe Martins ordered the kidnap but then she remembered what the man had said….
“Nonsense… Stupid woman! You like adventure right? You will have enough of it…This is me helping your husband get rid of you!”
Tams froze!

PART 4
” RECKLESS REKKY”
Opeyemi O.Akintunde
Mayor who disguised himself as Banjo to Rekky saw the policemen ahead. He hoped it was his regular men.
As he drove closer, he realized the faces were new faces.
“ Sh…t” He cursed under his breath.
He knew it was too late to turn back as that would attract attention to him. The police officers stopped his vehicle…
“ Good Day Sir, how are you sir? Anything for the boys?” The officer said
“ Sure, I think we should have the wine from our night party, we are going home to rest, you can see my wife is asleep already…”
“ Chairman!” The police officer hailed Mayor.
Mayor brought out a bottle of expensive wine from the back seat. He counted five thousand Naira and gave it to the officer.
“ MR Chairman… You are too much!” The police officer cleared Mayor. He gave the officer ahead a signal to let Mayor go.
Mayor drove off…
“ God punish some of these police officers! Kai! “ Mayor said laughing
Mayor went off the road into a forest. The road had no path but Mayor knew the path.
Mayor drove for another 10 minutes before getting to the Ritualist village. The Ritualist village was a community that had been created by a notorious Ritualist kingpin; Moko. He took it as a business. He specialized in selling body parts and full human beings. He had workers like Mayor whose duty was to bring at least one person per day.
He had over 50 workers who were under oath. They were paid on a monthly basis. They each earned 3 million Naira per month. However, they only had one day of the week as their free day, which was always on a Tuesday. Mayor had a wife and a two year old son. They were his only source of Joy. As much as he was getting paid for his services so well, he really wanted out of the business, but the oath was not what to be joked with. He had seen firsthand what could befall him should he rebel against Moko.
Hassan, Darren and Lefty had rebelled wanting to start their own Ritualist businesses, but Moko hit them hard. Moko killed every member of their family and broke their own spinal cords. The three friends were living in the Ritualist Village like trophies on display for other agents.
On getting there, he got down. His colleagues started hailing him massively for catching another bird.
Things were very straightforward at the Village, whenever a bird was brought to the village, they had to take him or her to the deposition unit. At the deposition unit, they would check out the person spiritually to know if the person could be used.
Mayor walked towards the deposition unit carrying Rekky with him. Unknowingly, as he picked up Rekky, her phone fell off into the car.
“ Mayor! How are you?” Said the Prietess.
“Fine, please check out this bird!”
“ Ok!”
********
Tams knew she couldn’t keep quiet. On her second phone, she called Martins again..
“ Hello Tams!”
“ So you ordered your wife to be kidnapped?” Tams said though she was fearful of the answer that would hit her in the face.
“ Kidnapped? What are you talking about?” Martins replied
“ Hey don’t play dumb with me? You said it in your text that you have ensured that today would be her last day in your life!”
“ Yes I texted that, but what I mean is that I am divorcing her, I have the papers right here… Tams, have I not tried?Tams the past six years of my life has been worse than hell, I need to have joy in my life, don’t you think?”
Tams was silent. She knew Martins was absolutely correct. Martins had endured what her husband could not endure. Over her occasional flings, her husband had beat her blue black on several occasions.
“ So what is this talk about her been kidnapped?” Martins asked
Tams took the next few minutes to explain everything that happened…
“ Oh my God!” Martins said. He had mixed emotions. He was afraid Rekky would be killed at her prime and he would lose her, at the same time he was seeing it as a way of freedom out of the marriage if she was killed.
“ I don’t know what to say … Rekky brought this on herself!” Martins said
“ Martins, please prove to me that you know nothing about this kidnap and bring my friend back home.”
“ Prove?” By this time Martins was pacing around in the living room….
“ Prove what? You think I organized her kidnap? You know what? To hell with you and her. She can die for all I care.” Martins said hanging up…
Truthfully speaking, it was a bittersweet moment for him.
“ Chioma!”
Martins knew she was the right person to speak to. Over the past few months after they met again, they had rekindled their friendship. Martins wanted more but Chioma was not receptive of the idea. Martins knew the only way Chioma was ever going to let things go back to the way things were, was for Rekky to be out of their Love triangle…
“ Kidnapped? God! How did that happen? We should call the police! The commissioner of police is owing me a Favour. We should call him right away.”
Martins was a bit disappointed that Chioma was not giving him the vibes he was expecting…
“ Martins? Are you there?” Chioma said over the phone
“ Yeah… Yeah … I am here!”
“ I said the commissioner owes me a FAVOUR, I thought you would be excited!”
“ I… am excited…but …”
“ But What?”
“ You want to know the truth about what I am feeling right now!”
“ What are you feeling right now?”
“ Gratitude… At least if she meets her death thanks to her reckless lifestyle, I will have the second chance of spending my lifetime with you!” Martins said
There was a brief moment of silence…
“ Martins, you are unbelievable. I should have known that spots on the skin of a leopard can not clear over time, you always run away whenever there is trouble. Just like you left me because of my problem, you are about to do the same to your wife. What is love to you by the way? Love is when everyone is perfect. What is marriage? Marriage is staying with someone when things are good?”
“ I have been staying with her for 6 miserable years.”
“ So why stop now when she needs you the most? Oh you think, to hell with her I have a got a substitute. Just the way she was my substitute. Well let me burst your bubble, since you never asked, let me save you the misery of being disappointed at the end of the day. Martins, I still bedwet, so in case you were planning to return to me, sorry my situation is still the way it is. “
Martins was shocked, it was true he never asked. He just assumed with her level of Sucess, she would have sorted that out.
“ Martins, save your wife while you can, if you think she is bad, I can assure you there are worse ladies out there. You thought I was bad, but you got worse, but don’t make the mistake of going for worst. My piece of advise… Take it or leave it.” Chioma hung up angrily.
******
“ Wow! Mayor… this is a big catch!” The Prietess said after scanning Rekky.

Nice
