Shortly after she had left Alhaji Bako room, Bako then left the house, He did not come back still about 11.30p.m.
Ada tried to wait for him but he shows up so she, at last took her supper alone and went to bed. That night she decided to sleep in Bako room. She thought that having caught Bako redheaded with a girl in a hotel and her stern rebuke of him, that he would be only too glad to share the same the night with her.
But to her utmost dismay, not only did Bako stay away from home till such time of the night, but also came back with the same girl. Seeing Bako with the girl, Ada quickly sensed that there well be danger ahead. She knows that for Bako to decide to bring the girl home spelt his preparedness for action. "Good evening, darling," She said in greeting to Bako. She was trying desperately to get a grip on her. Bako grunted an answer.
Get your towel and take this girl to the bathroom to take her bath. Make sure that the bathroom is clean! Bako commanded Ada in a very harsh tone. Ada nervously went and bought out the towel and then took the girl to the bathroom. Bako who was waiting to see Ada show any signs of defiance so that he could pounce on her. But Ada was clever enough to have read his mind and know intuitively what awaited for her should she try to disobey his order.
When Ada took the girl to the bathroom and she was bathing, Bako said to her again, "Arrange the bar for us and after that check the supper and if is cold , warm it before you serve it to us."

After the girl and Bako have finished taken their bathe they went into the bar and began to drink waiting for Ada to finish warning the The food. as they drank they did all so that Ii can provoke Ada
Bako was satisfied that Ada now seems a full view of them kissing and embracing caressing each other and laughing doing this with another girl in her matrimonial home, Ada sorrow grew to an alarming proportion and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
Noticing the tears, Bako was gratified and meant to hunt her more by increasing his love play . At last, Ada was ready with the cook. Bako and his girlfriend went in to eat, as they were they kept sending Ada on minor errands like bringing of salt, and liquid maggi . often they fed each other. Bako would take a piece of meat and put it in the girl mouth. The girl well do the same to Bako.
After they have eaten, they left, leaving plates and pieces of bones littering the table. Ada then came and began to clean up the table and rearrange the table. She was interrupted by Bako harsh voice which bellowed, "Where is that fool? Ada!
Ada ran in haste to meet him in his bedroom.
" Yes, Alhaji," she answered.
" Why are this bed wrinkles? Did you lie on it?" Bako asked with a threatening voice.
"yes Alhaji," Ada answered trembling.
"Come and make it now! Why did you leave your bed and lay on mine?"
Ada quickly make the bed and then vacated the room for Bako and his girlfriend . She knows no sleep that night. She wept all through all the night wetting her bed with her tears. Her stupidness of abandoning her education halfway and ran after wealth began to stare her in the face.
After a deep and sober reflection she arrived at a conclusion that nothing than going to Alhaji Bako and tendering a heartfelt apology could save the situation. And in order to elicit Bako fullest sympathy, she resolved to prostrate before him while tendering the apology.
That day Bako came back home at about 10.20.pm. On noticing that he did not come back with the girl, Ada was extremely happy, at least she well would not suffer the shame of tendering the apology in the presence of the girl.
Shortly after Bako had arrived, as he was still charging, Ada came in and lay down flat on the floor and in heart rendering tears, pleasing with him for forgiveness. "O, Alhaji, please forgive me all the wrong I must have done against you in name of Allah. I know I really offended you, but kindly have mercy on me. Do not treat me like that. Remember that it was my love for you that made me accept to befriend you from the beginning when you begged me. Otherwise , there were so many other men."
"Stop the nonsense!" Bako shouted at her. I Alhaji Bako have never begged any girl, how much more a riff like you. You were only attracted to me by my wealth and nothing more.
"But darling, that is not what I meant..". Ada tried to excuse herself.
"Enough of that garbage!" Bako cut her short. "A noble descendants of Mansa Musa , a multi billionaire like me will beg a girl? What do you mean? You are taking too much in this house, Ada, you are taking too much. I am warning you now you are taking too much, when I will start to deal with you, your sorrow will know no limit."
