Na wah oooo.
Last week I was broke. Payments expected for jobs done didn't come in time, so I needed some cash to meet up my running expenses especially for the home front pending the payments.
My wife was sympathetic and offered to help. She used N20K of her own to buy little foodstuffs for the house and gave me N10K cash to hold body.
"Dear" she said " Na borrow I borrow you ooo."
"No problem. Thanks" I said.
"N30k in all oooo" she emphasized.
Two days ago, one of the payments expected came in and I was relived briefly.
To appreciate her, I took her out yesterday to a restaurant spending close to N36k on a three course meal and red wine.
We had a great time. She confessed that she enjoyed the outing. I was happy that I made her happy.
On our way back, she suggested that we buy things for the children. I spent precisely N48k buying things for the children and another N22k to buy a beautiful gown for her.
When we got home, I gave her the monthly house allowance of N100k and I was left with little money that will see me through running my business while waiting for the next payment.
Today, I returned home to meet my wife in the kitchen sweating. She was busy frying, boiling, stacking and generally stocking the kitchen. Obviously, she just returned from the market.
She welcome me with a tight hug and thanked me for being a great father and a caring husband.
Then, she added " Dear, don't forget my N30k ooo"
"Which N30k?" I asked.
She reminded me.
The truth is that I didn't forget but didn't deem it necessary to return the money, since I'm spending most of my money on her and the children.
"Ehn, what of the money I've spent on you so far, is it not more than N30k?" I reasoned.
"Oh! So, na offence to help you, shey? she querried.
"Who said that?" I countered.
"You of course" she answered. "So, because you're owing me N30K you will not buy things for me again?
"But why didn't you remind me of the N30K before I started spending on you?"
Nah the matter we dey drag now. Please, help judge the matter. Thanks.
