FREYA- "MUMCEE'S NEW DATE"
JULY SERIES
EPISODE ONE
Popcee passed on years before bobby was born so he never got to know what an amazing father he had, sometimes I feel it’s the lack of a father figure that makes him misbehave and stray but think of it oh “me fa” am I any different? “see pot calling kettle black”.
I and bobby have been trying to get mumcee on a date but all to no avail. She’ll always say “make una leave me with your palava. shey na my stretch marks una carry the use as direction?. In other words her time for dating had long elapsed but you see me…. i am always a fighter to the very end.
Tuesday is Ogbonno day as mumcee makes the best in all of south-south “if am lying bring yours for tasting”. In the pot of this ogbonno soup lies correct stock fish, kpomo, cow meat and everything that would blow your mind. We are not the richest family in our neigbourhood but mumcee makes nothing but the best available for us leaving all our neigbours greeting good morning on a sunny afternoon.
Our search had only begun as we were looking for someone who was holy ghost filled and naira loaded. Bobby and I walked round and round but our search was fruitless. We got home that evening with the consolation of eating our Tuesday special. We got a least of divorcees who would fit into mumcee’s ideal man although most of them were one time boxing champions which lead to the demise of their wives but were wealthy, tongues speaking who is an average in terms of wealth. ( in fact one quarter of the wealth) it’s difficult these days to find a man who is 60 years with children and a divorcee and searching too.
Finally the long awaited soup was served- I told you that my soup had stock fish in it but you wouldn’t believe me as you were already imagining yours but… not to worry mumcee taught me well “oya come and eat”.
Later that evening i sat outside with my partner in crime titilayo who was always up to date on every gist on the street and beyond the street.
This night was different as mumcee came out with her beautiful yellow gown yellow shoes with yellow accessories to go with it “don’t mind mumcee oh…. But that’s her idea of young cecee”. I wasn’t sure why she had her most expensive perfume of N1,500 on as she doesn’t let anyone near it because she echoes “it has the same scent as the one your dad had on our first date… I can’t forget his smile….and blah blah blah” if I were to continue that gist we would miss out on where mumcee is going by 8pm.
Five miniutes later a Toyota camry pulled into our compound as we were yet interrogating mumcee a man in his middle 60’s s stepped out of the vehicle and made his way towards us “all the while mumcee couldn’t stop blushing”
mummy! Mummy oh! Your guest is standing here will you introduce us?
Hem…hmmmm yes Sammy (mumcee already has a pet name for him…hmmmm) this is Freya my first daughter and her friend Titilayo- meet Samuel Mbaku a friend from work.
Nice meeting you sir. Would you love to come in? mumcee quickly cut in
“Freya you can see I am dressed to go out not to sit with you…don’t wait up I may be a little late”
I know your not as surprised as I am because mine is way out of this world. (see me beating myself looking for the perfect man for mumcee as shey she has already found herself one) I am happy for her oh but ( hmmmm so I see where my good taste for men came from- mumcee still has it)
I know she said ”do not wait up”- but me eh I stay up even if its still tomorrow morning just so I can get the full details and fill you in.
Stay tuned for the next episode of mumcee’s new date. Everything you need to know will be on the next post.
