So This Is What My Wife Has Been Doing In The Kitchen?

By Idriss Abbey

So, this is what my wife has been doing in the kitchen? Truly now, the adage is true, that one day belongs to the owner of the house.

The same owner that has been vilified for having his eyes outside, for being the bad boy of the relationship How ironic will it be should it be, should the saint become the devil?

This was just the case here, because I had heard the kitchen door crank gently, as if someone was being let in surreptitiously.

And the way the flat is, you can access or leave the kitchen right through its door without having to enter the parlour. And that implies that you can enter, do whatever you and leave without letting the people inside the flat know.

Like five minutes ago, I remember I saw someone’s shadow, and was expecting the door bell to ring, but nothing like that. Instead, I heard a small crank of the kitchen door, and I was sure someone had gone to join her in the kitchen but why and who, from the side, not from the main door.

Also, she ought to have brought out the food to serve now. You would be expecting the food to appear on the dining, and it would not. Sometimes, you would not even know what is happening down there.

One mind dared me: if you go in there now, you would come back with an exclamation: so this is what my wife has been doing in the kitchen?.

The more I say it is a lie, the more I have the feeling, especially now that I am getting hungrier.

As the thought just stayed in my mind, I also remembered what Olabisi used to say. He is a casual friend I meet always at the pepper soup joint on the other side of the street:  “Don’t trust any woman even if they had given you children…”

The thought was now loud in my brain. I was no longer seeing the pile of papers before me.

They were property listings that I had been editing for my Madam…

I had brought them home from the office, to be able to meet a deadline she set. had given, and also, I was already feeling the hunger bang.

What is wrong with Yomi today? As I remember now, anytime the meal had delayed in leaving the kitchen and appearing on the dining table for devouring, she had always made sure there was something interim to chew and keep us from barging into her kitchen as it were.

She was usually the last to join the table, and the first to rise. In the inside of me, I had had to wonder sometimes: How come she is plump and more freshly looking than myself who tends to consume more on the table?

What happened was that I could no longer wait, in the parlour with that thought that had already filled my brain. I just sauntered out, making my way to the kitchen.

I just had the feeling that something was wrong, so I walked gently bypassing the cushions down to the lobby connecting the parlour with the rooms and the kitchen.

There she was, but it was her back I was seeing yet.

I quickly scanned around, first the kitchen door, which was not open, and in that in those seconds, I could take in the entire picture.

Yes, that is what my wife has been doing in the kitchen not just this one, but all these years, each of those times I had concluded she had delayed in the kitchen.

“What is happening here”, I asked, amidst noise of the seemingly neglected boiling pot, .She only stretched her left hand from the back, without turning to face me.

And the next second, I could see her girlish smile from the side.

To my surprise, the woman, my wife was caught in-between the pile of dishes she was rinsing, and the comparatively small portion of food she was pecking from, and the stemming pot on the second burner, all at the same time.

“That’s the only way I can meet up, my darling, she said half-turning

That is what your wife has usually been doing in the kitchen, caught amidst many chores the same time. I told you I need a nanny. If you love me, you would hasten to get one.

“See all the chores waiting – .getting lunch and dinner ready, rinsing the children’s clothes..tidying this kitchen afterwards, before heading to the shop. There’s no other way than to carry these all along .”

I was short of words.

So This Is what my wife has been doing in the kitchen, cooking serial foods the same time, serving them, cleaning and supervising laundry, and arranging,  almost all at the same time, whereas for me, it is like a straight-forward task, though engaging nonetheless, ….
