IV. The next day

   We wake up around 9 or 10. Kingsley brought some things that we should give to his sister when we arrive to Nigeria . They were packing the things , checking the weight . Me and Chideraa had a bag of 23 kg together and 2 school bags and he had the rest of 100 kg  in 5 bags , mostly carrying his cloths and shoes . We needed 2 cars to drive to airport so we found a friend to hep us .I went with Kingsley and Chideraa went with his dad in the other car . I was looking at his face . He was just an impoved version of Obi .... i can't believe how much he resembled him . I think Alex noticed the way I was staring at him the other night .I helped his type the name of the airport on his gps because he did not know the road very well . He was driving fast and he asked me if i was afraid since i was holding myself by the handle above the window. I said no and he smiled . Alex was so excited by this trip that he did not have time to eat the omlette that the man's wife prepared for him so she found a box to pack it for take away . We cecked in and finally got into the flight . They waited a few minutes for other passengers but they did not show up . The flight was almost empty . The lasagna they brouht for Chideraa was delicious , maybe because i finished her remains i didnt enjoy the food they later brought for me . As the fight was almost empty most of the people lied on 2-4 chair and slept . I tried to watch a movie but it did not capture my attention . When we got off the plain I felt the humid heat surrounding me . People for all the plains that landed on Murtala Muhammed Airport were flocking on the same exit down the stairs . We had to fill some form . After passing the stairs we were divided into 2 lines , nationals and foreigners . Luckily they noticed Chideraa and they allowed us to pass front . They stpped my husband for fingerprints so i had to bring out 10 euro from my bag so that he will escape interrogatory . We waited for a long time for the bags to come out . Finally we were out . Mathias and Chemoo and Charles  was waiting for us . Chino was driving our car . We went to the hotel in Fetac .

III. A day in Italy

      It was an apartment at the 3rd floor in a villa. We had our own room .Kingsley brother was living there with his wife and his 2 kids . Chideraa was happy to have a playmate . The youngest was about 1 or 2 months old . I was incredibly tired so i tried to get some rest while Alex went out alone . I woke up after afew hours . Hungry . I went to kitchen and found some sausages in the fridge . I was surprised to find "white people\s food " in their fridge . They had all kind of things : yogurt , milk , muffins , salami . I brought a cappuccino from my bag and boiled some water . The man was cooking stew . He said that he is the one cooking in the house . Cool . This woman must be very lucky with 2 kids and a fine husband , living in a nice house . They asked me if i want to eat the food they cooked . I said i want to wait for my man to come back . I took a shower in the huge bath . The bathroom was enormous and with the tall walls was looking even bigger . I wonder how she succeeded to keep the house so clean while heaving a newborn .I took some pictures with my camera both inside on on the balconies . The rooms had wooden blinds . I called him to on the heat because as it was getting dark it was starting to get cold .He told me to close the wooden blinds that it will get warm because the administrator hasn't on the heat yet .
      I was angry that after so many hours he did not come back so i was thinking so many things ...Where did he go ? who is he with . So i decided to go out so that he will not find me when he comes back . I took a round of the neighborhood . I was already dark so i didnt see much . Just some houses and some fences .I was looking around carefully so that i will not miss the road back . On our coming back we sat down on the bench in front of the house . There were two buildings with the same entrance . they had flower pots every where . It was a lovely place to meditate .
     He was laying on the bed when i came back . He showed me the wedding ring he bought , the ones we chosed earlier but his own was a little tight.We decide to wear them from that moment. The man brought us food so we decided to eat in the kitchen . He had a visitor .They were laughing of the way i was eating the "semo" with fork .Chideraa was tired after the evening walk so she fall asleep quickly .But Alex wanted to watch football so he asked me if i want to go downstairs with him to look for a place where he can do it . The man fallowed us . They took beer and I took an alcoholic drink similar to Eristoff , who\s name I don't remember . The bar did not have the tv cable that was playing the football so we sat there and they discussed about educating their kids in Nigeria because they believe they they will get a better education there . I did not have the courage to visit their school though. We came back home around 11 because the bar was closing . I was happy that  they were closing because i was really tired . Not enough tired  not to expect some attention from him that night but as i was expecting i did not get it . He just hold me and we slept.
   

I. A family reunion

     We have been planning for this trip for a long time . We met in Italy , Rome . WE arrived early in the morning and i was expecting him to be waiting for me at the airport . I was so tired and he wasn't there. We waited and we waited, people were coming to pick their friends and family , car after car . The guardian of the parking was smoking ganja without any problem . Finally he came and we took a bus to Roma Termini. Chideraa was happy to see him , she was holding him tight . He came with a friend that took my bag . The traffic was high and it took us more than it had to to arrive to the destination . We went somewhere to eat . They went to keep the bags in a friend's house . I ordered a coffee and 2 donuts. Chideraa wanted a pizza. It was old and she couldn't eat it . The coffee and the donuts were tasty . I went to the toilet and i was unpleasantly surprised to find a dirty and unkempt . They came back soon with the bag because they couldn't find the guy at home so we went looking for a shop to buy our wedding rings . I am going to pick my daughter from school so i will be back to you soon
