            THE BEGINNING OF PROBLEM  
          The time Alhaji Bako behavior have changed that no longer play with Ada or enjoy together as husband and wife and he now come back from work very late this lead to Ada to start suspecting him because of this Ada became unhappy him.
             Bako came back from work that day about 11.30 p.m.    And such late coming back was one of the recent abnormalities in Alhaji Bako new behavior, which added force to Ada conviction that something was really wrong. But this notwithstanding, Ada welcome him very well.
              After Bako had taken his bath and supper , Ada approached him and said to him, "Darling, I have observed that there is a slight change in your behavior towards me, I want to know where I have erred."
              "Slight change in my behavior, how?"asked Bako.
               " You seem to be keeping away from me nowadays" Ada said.
                "You have not erred and I am not keeping away from you either," said Bako,   What happened is that of my business is demanding so much from me nowadays that at the end of the day I feel very tired." 
               "Well, darling," argued,"  Ada in a cold voice, " may I beg you to disagree. No matter the nature of the business, if you were in your former self,  I wonder how you well not have time for me."    
               "Then what are you saying now?"  asked Bako in a very harsh voice. "Are you suspecting me of infidelity?" 
                 " Not at all darling!  How can I?" replied Ada.      "I was only afraid lest it be that I have offended you unknown."
                "But I have told you that you have not, please go to bed!" Bako commanded.
              Ada quickly walked out of the his room and gently shut the door behind her with the words. "Good night Darling."
             "Good night," responded Bako , shortly.  Ada was disturbed all the more by Bako response.  She has expected him not only to give her a more positive answer but also asked for her company that night as a husband and wife should.    But still Bako did not give any improvement of the situation.  Ada was therefore, very sad and lay on her bed restlessly.
           After Ada had left, Alhaji Bako spent the night in fifteen minutes cogitating on the golden rule,   "Do unto others what you would want them to do unto you."  He felt that it was not right for him to starve Ada of his person for so long which was her marital right. After all, she did not choose to be obese or to have an attack of pimples.    He felt sorry for her. He then picked up the intercom in his room and called Ada.
               "Hello, who is that?" Ada responded.
               " It is me." Alhaji Bako said
               "O darling, is it you?" asked Ada happily.
               " Yes I am" Bako affirmed.
               " Can I come over?" asked Ada anxiously.
                  "No, there is no need.  It is just that I can see that you are a bit worried and I want to ease your mind. Darling let me tell you, you are reading a wrong meaning of the situation. There is no reality in what you have in your mind.  I am not type of person, you are supposed to trust me.."
                "I trust you darling," Ada cut in continuing, Bako said,  " I have earlier told you that my business demand too much of me nowadays.   But since you now feel bad, I hope to start from tomorrow to redress the situation."
            "O thank you, darling, I am very grateful Good night," bade Ada.
             "Good night," replied Bako.
          Ada happily dropped the handsets and switched out the lights in the room and slept off.
   she deluded  took Bako for his words.
          In the early hours of the following day, Ada got up and went to Bako room to greet him. She met Bako dressing up, having already taken his bath.
           "Good morning darling"greeted Ada.
           "Good morning sweet heart" Bako replied.
           "How was your night and why have you taken your bathe so early, are you traveling?" asked Ada.
           " No, I am not," replied Bako.  "I only have a meeting with the president this morning."
             "O that is lovely! Ada exclaimed. Ada stay back and helped Bako to dress up properly in his agbada. 
              When Bako got ready and was about to leave, Ada help him to carry his bag.  they both walk to the garage.   After they have walked for yards. Ada suddenly stopped. "But darling you have not taken your breakfast. Let go back and so that you can eat your food or you take a cup of tea. ones is not sure that there will be. ood even there is food, they will not be eating still the meeting is over. 
               " No  I  don't think I will be able to wait for, said Bako   " The meeting is scheduled for 7.00 a.m prompt And I want to make sure I beat the usual early morning traffic jams."
                 They both then move on.  On getting to the garage, Bako took the bag from Ada and put it in the front seat of the Lexus.    He then entered the car and drove off to the meeting .
           Regardless of Bako later heart cheering words last night Ada thought very often revisited the night incidence.  And with that as a stimulant, she began to review Bako attitude towards her before their marriage and earlier days of their marriage . Based on that, she tried to imagine what the future holds up for her should their marriage collapse.
           Ada had a visitor a called Mrs. musa Ann who became her friend were she gets marriage to Bako,  because her husband was a  very long time friend to Alhaji Bako.
              
           "Good morning, madam sunshine," greeted Ann
           "Hoa!" exclaimed Ada "Good morning, madam Ann"
          "Madam you are just like an egg yoke," said Ann to Ada jocularly.
           Mrs Ann Musa then placed her two hands on the shoulder of Ada and began to look at each other in a playful admiration.  They both begins to discuss about their marriage and their husbands, then Ada told about Alhaji Bako how he comes back from work very late and how he have changed. Hearing this from Ada she laughed and laughed and said,  "Your husband most have found another girl outside for his change in behavior." Ann Said .
         
        They both departed for a meeting . But before getting there,  Ann requested that they make a quick stop at the Hotel owned by her husband to have a word with the manager.  Ada readily consented.
         It happened coincidentally that as Ada and Mrs Musa were about to enter the manager office,  Alhaji Bako and one beautiful young girl of eighteen who was still in school were coming out of the suite 44 of the hotel. Immediately Ada saw Alhaji Bako and she raised her two hands up and shouted in a loud voice,  " Thank God!" she turned to Mrs Musa . and asked. "Do you see what we have been talking about our husbands, can you see? can you?" she raised her two hands up again and said, " My God is good all the time!"
             Alhaji Bako stood still, while the girl run off.  Bako was too ashamed to find his tongue.
           Turning to Alhaji Bako  Ada said, "Mr man your luck has run out.  Is here the venue of your meeting with the president? Is that daughter of a  bitch the president with whom you are having the meeting with? you know many days for the thief , but one day for the owner".     she aggressively gripped Bako and began to throttle him. But Bako was clam and did not utter a word nor put up any resistance.  The staff and Ann they pleased with Ada to leave Bako and struggled to free him from her grip.
           Not soon had Alhaji Bako left the hotel without saying a word to Ada than it dawned on Ada that she had taken a wrong action.  
          On leaving the hotel, Alhaji Bako made straight to house. He was contemplating on what action should him take against Ada for her misdeed for her to feel , he decided to Bring to the house.  
        Ada know that she was going to experience hell when she gets home or she might be divorced.  Getting home she met  Bako in a light mood. 
            Dramatically, the accused turned complaint.  Ada cleverly and tactfully switched from the apology she had come to tender to cautioning Bako . 
        "Alhaji," let me warn you against what happened to it should not repeat it self" she addressed Alhaji Bako.
