    She kept admiring these things with wondrous imagination  as she was being led to Bako . 
   Meanwhile, it took her 5 minutes to get to Bako sitting room has seen to Bako too long and he started walking down the staircase to  meet her, Forgetting that he was bare _footed. when he sighted Ada , he ran froward and embraced her, carried her bag and was as joyous like a child who has seen his mom who has been away for a long time.
     They both ascend the staircase leading to Bako sitting room .As they neared the sliding door, it opened on it own automatically.  Ada marvelled all the more . But it was when they both entered the sitting room and Ada looked round that she was almost overwhelmed.  she began to imagine what else could be the problem of any person living in a house such as that.  
         "Site down my dear," Bako invited her softly and tenderly.   
         Ada sat down and Bako set besides her . 
        " You are very welcome,". Bako said smiling.
        " Thanks you" replied Ada .
         " How is the school?" 
          " Fine"  
           " I'm glad to have you in my house. please feel at home," Bako said.
            " Thanks you," Ada replied.
            Bako called for his cook. in less than 2 minutes, the cook arrived at the sitting room.  " what do you cook for the afternoon?" Bako asked the cook.
            ,"It' is fried rice, Alhaji," replied the cook.
            " What kind of meat did you use?" 
            " I used turkey meat, Alhaji." 
             " Are there no more stockfish and fresh fish?" enquired Bako .
             " We have, but not cooked.  except she will exercise a little patience so that I will quickly   make another stew of stockfish and fresh fish." 
  Bako truned to Ada and ask her if she can manage the Rice and turkey?  " If no then her what you want, and she will be very fast at it." 
           Ada replied in a tone depicting lack of interest. 
             "No  protested Bako,".  Ada maintained 
             " Let her  brings the  rice and turkey and I will make do with that."
      Alhaji Bako truned to the cook  " Go bring what you have  ,If she does not like it well go to the restaurant to eat something better." 
     The cook leave for the kitchen to go bring Ada food and Bako a shot while the cook returned with the food and invited Ada and  Backo to the table.  Ada reluctantly got up followed her,On getting to the dining table she was marvelled at the sumptuous meals she was presented with. appetiser,fried rice and turkey parts etc.    Ada ate so much that at the end she suffered from constipation.
      When  Ada finished eating, Bako led her to the bar were they both enjoy them self with drink and discuss it themselves for a very long time this what not what she wanted.  she never wanted to spend all the three days in Alhaji Bako house but she ended spending all the time in his place the next day what for her to return back to school.

    •• 
        AT THE CAMPUS 
       At the campus Ada meet her friend called Joy .   "Good morning Ada" joy greeted.
           " Good morning my friend" Ada replied.
            " How are you doing" joy enquired.
             " I am Good. and you?" Ada asked.
                "I am Good too joy" replied.
          " How did you spend your three days break from school?" joy enquired.
          " I spent the best time in my life with my new friend" Ada replied.
          " Who is that your new friend that I your friend I done know he or her?" Joy asked with surprised face.  
         "I mean Alhaji Bako the man you once sew"
         " you mean that old man you once rejected?" joy asked.
          " Yes but that was before I know him. Ada replied.
          " do not tell me that his is that your boyfriend" joy asked.
          "I  have decided to befriend him because him has everything I am looking for" Ada responded.
        Joy as a very good friend of her begins to advise Ada that was she is doing now have a very big risk involved. Joy began to told to Ada.
         "One thing I would want you to know is that most men purported love for girls is selfish and counterfeit. often girl are deceived by men who parade they self as bona _ fide suitors, but who have hidden agenda. they may promised you everything even marriage and give you a lot of gifts. But do not be deceived by these things.   The gifts are but wicked baits and traps meant to capture their victims.
       We know that thousand husband are scarce nowadays there is no doubt about that. But one should not because of that leap before looking.  Marriage is supposed to last for a lifetime.  Therefore care should be taken to select a partner. If one fails to select a carefully,  it becomes also a everlasting Mistake.
       When a  man run after a girl with a lot of money and gift  the girl must be careful or else the man might, after messing her up, put her away shamefully,  or if they have got married,  relegate her to a position of  a slayer.  This is not uncommon with rich men .  Since they have all the money they need to marry hundred women and get hundred concubines if they so desire, their love for girls can be certain that she has been abandoned.  
     Let me not talk about the age  difference between you and Alhaji Bako.  But I was told that the man is old enough to be responsible for the pregnancy that brought you to the world.  Well that' is up for you .  You owe yourself and you are old enough to be able to decide what is good for you . But I want you to use your tongue to count your teeth and start now to look for the black goat before it is dark. Remember that sweet things kill.
       " I am telling you all things not because  I do not want you to marry a very rich man but because as a friend l will want you to be very careful with your new love, the Alhaji Bako the man you are now .
    " But be careful because I would not want you my love really friend Ada to lose  your future because of sweet things . l just hope you can recover yourself and tell that old man that u are not longer interested in his relationship .  Remember my Ada that sweet things can kill". Joy concluded.
