Episode 13
For the five years Alhaji Bako and Ada marriage, thing works out very well. Though Ada initially lured into marrying Bako because of Bako shower of unqualified love on her and he is providing everything that makes life worth living for her, she now developed a wonderful love for him. She became so fond of Bako that she was unaware of the existence of any other men.
Bako on his part, was infatuated with love for Ada . He spared no afford to make Ada live a happy life and luxurious life equal, if not perhaps, more satisfying then that of queens and wives of presidents. He equipped Ada apartment with everything that for a decent home, He never allowed Ada do anything by herself save eating and bathing and perhaps answering the call of nature. He provided so many servant for Ada that some were redundant.
Ada had cook who is duty was to prepare for her whatever she wanted to eat. Despite the fact that she had a menu timetable,at time after the cook had prepared a particular meal on the timetable, she would reject the food and order for another fresh meal. And the cook would have no other option than to set about cooking another immediately.
The cook was not excepted to be absence from duty nor to go anywhere with out Ada permission, lest she would want to eat something and might not have someone to prepared it well for her. A large sum of money was always made available for the at all time to make sure all Ada favourable edible are always stocked.
A female dry cleaner was also provided for Ada. She had as her sole duty the washing and ironing of all Ada article of clothing, including underwear and bedspreads. Usually, after she had washed the clothes, she would starch the ones that need starching and blue the ones that required blueing. The work was not tedious for her because, Ada never wore any dress nor used any bedspreads more than once before it was washed and ironed.
To work in Ada sitting room and bedroom, two young girls were employed. One scrubbed the floor and dust the windowpane, while the other duet and arranged the pieces of furniture and electrical appliances.
Bako also employed a lady beautician for Ada. Her duty was to give Ada the best beauty treatment at all time, particular when she took bath.
At Ada service, also were two elderly efficient drivers. One is the senior driver, while the other assisted in case the former was indisposed.
A middle aged woman was also employed to serve as Ada sanitary were maintainer. The woman usually used detergent and disinfectant to scrub the bathroom and toilet, After that she would clear out the cobweb and apply a good quality deodorant, which gave the toilet and the bathroom a very sweet smell. She repeated this as many time a day as Ada made use of them.
A shoe shiner was not left out. A young boy was employed to always Polish and shine Ada shoes and sandal. As a result, Ada shoes and sandal always reflect like a mirror,
With all these servants, Ada had practically nothing to do for Ada. But one thing, which Alhaji Bako and Ada failed to do was that total idleness does not make for a health body. It is a wrong way of exhibiting one wealth. No matter one wealth, there is a need for one to engage he or her self in some minor work , at least, for the purpose of exercise.
Bako over coddling and pampering of Ada adversely affected Ada in two ways: Initially, Ada had a humble opinion of herself. She used to be considerate towards people, including her juniors. But since she is living in wealth and she was been treated like a Queen, she gradually began to lose that Sterling Quality till it was all gone.
On the contrary, she became rude, saucy and looked down on people. She talked harshly to her servants, some of whom were old enough to be her mother or father. Not only that, she became rude and very often violently pushed and beat up the poor servants for no just cause. She was very fond of giving the worker knocked on their head at the slightest provocations.
The two young girls that were working in her sitting room and bedroom particular the one that scrubbed the most from her cruelty. Even a grain of sand found on the floor was enough for Ada to start hitting her on the head . She had so given the girl knock that her, Ada hand began to ache so she resorted to using a torch.
But one day, as she was trying to do her wicked act, nemesis caught up with her this time as she forces a girl head in between her laps and was hitting her on the head with a torch. When the pain became unbearable to the girl, tried to force her head out. It coincidentally happened that, that was the time Ada wanted to abuse her. As the girl head popped out of Ada laps with force it hit her on the jaw and one of Ada teeth pierced her tongue. Ada left the girl at once and began to wail miserable.
seeing what had happened to Ada the girl was terrified to death. she knows that if Bako should find out she well be dead, Ada in her helpless, she threw herself on to the ground and began to weep pathetically. As she cried, she pleaded with Ada that the incident was unintentional. But in spite of that, when Bako returned back not just beat her life out of the girl but also made sure she was jailed.
Another negative effect, which with a total freedom from work had on Ada was obesity. She became grossly obese and Alhaji Bako hated nothing as much as obesity. But her greatest bane could be said to be eating fatty food. Ada liked and ate too much of fatty food and this led to a violent attack of pimples on her face. Although the beautician did not best to cure the condition, the truth is that pimples have no cure. One get over them with time though not with out leaving behind some scars
Bako would have reacted earlier to these new development in Ada . And should one judge from his degree of dislike of them, one would believe that he would have either sent Ada out and marriage another wife or the one that well rendered her redundant. In the last resort, therefore he found for himself a girlfriend. He however banned her from coming to him house not to offend Ada.Download Novelah App
