"Bee have you started your ANB222 assignment?" I asked but all I got was silence.
"Bilkisu!" I called bringing her back to the present.
"Huh?" she replied absent mindedly.
"Are you okay?"
"Yup!" she whispered.
"What has you so occupied that you did not even hear me?" I queried.
"Hmmm,my dear I'm in a dilemma!" she announced.
"Subhanallah! What's going on?"
"I've been chased by a very crazy man for the past three months now," Bee confessed.
"How crazy is he?"
"Very crazy I tell you! I thought I could handle him on my own but I don't think so anymore," she conceded.
"Do you mind telling me the crazy things he has done?" I asked carefully.
"He has a wife and a kid but he claims he was forced to marry her and that he has no feelings for her or anyone at all till he met me. I explained to him several times that I'm not interested but he still persisted. At first, it looked like he was going to give up but it's gotten so much worse," Bee whined.
"Na wa o! What else did he do?" I inquired.
"Hmmm,he narrated to me how he blatantly confessed to his wife that he never wanted her and that he told her that he has finally found the one he loves!" Bee replied.
"O my God! I shrieked.
"It has even gotten to the point where he orders her to call me and say hello," Bee whispered.
"You have got to be kidding me!" I exclaimed
"I wish I am. I was so shocked and embarrassed when she called and introduced herself, I could hear the hurt she had tried to conceal to fulfill his wish. I felt like dying!" Bee blurted.
"La! That man is indeed crazy! How can any reasonable person do such a cruel thing to his life partner. He should have found a way to avoid the marriage," I said.
"My dear that's the plight I've found myself in. I don't know what to do," Bee cried.
"Does he come around often?" I asked.
"Yes he does but sometimes I don't meet him," she replied.
"Bee you have to stop meeting him completely! Ignore him and his wife's calls and block them both on Whatsapp," I suggested.
"You do have a point. I was bent on making him see reason," she explained.
"You can't reason with crazy people!" I blurted.
"Gaskiya(true)! I'm going to do exactly what you said!" Bee said with a hopeful smile.
