Who Sold Kink

By; Ottih Onyedikachi


She carried the bucket of water a step more and stopped.

There was Kink in front of her. Should she tell her? They looked at themselves. Kink was her 7 months old dog. Very kink, very playful. Tears welled up in her eyes. She tried to control it, to no avail, she let if flow.
"Mummy errela gi kink". Kink came closer to her, sniffing. She continued, " ha choro igbu gi taa". Then she couldn't control it anymore. She sobbed, kink withdrew. Maybe she understood.
She hastened up to the stairs to the living room. Slipped into the chair and closed her eyes. In a short while, Chibueze entered, "aunty Onyigirl were banana gi" she replied, "thank you dosa ya n'elu table". He dropped the banana on the table and left. He didn't query her like he used to. Smart boy! He's growing. She lingered for few minutes more, stood up and picked the banana. She made to pill it and hesitated "I'll lick it when I come out of the bathroom" and she went to bath. Out of there she hurriedly dressed up, but sat still on the cushion opposite the mirror staring at image.

She had lost weight ever since Mom and Dad sold kink.

Kink is nice, playful, kink laughs and understand emotions. She shed a little tear more looking down her toe, she decided to mani/ padi cure herself. She walked about the room aimlessly at first, then carried her make up/ accessories container and made to leave the house. The banana! She's suddenly remembered and turned to pick it up, she'd take it in the shop downstairs, she concluded.

Getting to the shop was a group of aged men gathered playing draught game - always - and voices trying to out-laugh themselves. Good afternoon sirs, she greeted aloud and they barely turned to respond. "As normal they won't respond" she sat down on the long bench, there was a man leaning on the round brown table sleeping. She steered at him. She does not know him. She thought, "he's probably with brother Onyinma. Always bringing people" she dropped her container and banana on the part of the table and picked out the razor blade. She had only bent to clean her big toe when the sleeping man raised up his head picked the banana, peeled it and started licking it. "Jesus Christ!" She looked at him dumb-founded. Her heart started pounding. She was angry. The man turned and looked at her. He smiled. She forcefully muttered out a greeting "good afternoon"...... "Ehen Nne he replied buoyantly. "How are you? Are you angry at me for taking your banana?" I'll buy another one for you, oo? He continued, " did you hear me? Nne! Nne!" She stared at him ready to explode. And almost immediately screamed. " What the fuck!" Everybody turned in their direction.........
