DISASTROUS CONCERN 2

                Chapter fourteen.
On Saturday,early morning,Akena went to city grain millers. He had never gone there before,but having experience in wheat flour buying,he knew the direction to it.
Opio showed him the way.
It was a great opportunity for Akena,since he was to start supplying a lot of chapats to two big organisations.
Chapatti business had become popular in town,and very many students enjoyed the same since it was the  easiest meal to consider,especially when late for classes.
Akena had made it possible for his customers to always enjoy the pride of eating chapatti.
He entered a big shop where  different kinds of flour were arranged  in ascending order. It was "city grain millers."
"I want the white soft one"
ordered Akena as the attendant hurried to satisfy the nice looking first time customer.
He shopped five bags of flour ready to boost his business. His brother Opio stood arms akimbo near the shop's entrance. His major intention was to satisfy his brother,such that he could forget the past and focus on the future,a reason as to why offering him enough capital and business offer was the best.
Two men ,whose muscles had acquired enough training stood in front of Opio's car ready to load the bought sacks of flour.

After purchasing too much wheat flour,Akena and Opio took off. Opio decided to go back home,after dropping Akena. He cut across the new railway station as he did not want to follow the tarmac road. The traffic jam would delay his mission to finding out who was in love with his girlfriend Cynthia.
As soon as his friend Andrew sensed his presence,he came over to greet him.
"Long time my friend Opio,you must have worked hard." Andrew said.
"Wao, my dear. Long time indeed. Oh I was lifting grain with my brother. I think that's what has made me tired." Opio replied languidly.
"My brother was trying to buy enough stock for his business. We travelled to town since morning,before eating something."
"Oh sorry. You mean you have a brother?"
"Yes."Good news indeed. You know,happy are those whose brothers are still alive." Andrew answered.
"Hei ,that's funny."
Andrew was not sure whether Opio had a brother.
"Bambie my dear,no big deal,only to let you know that I saw your girlfriend Cynthia with another man in one of the lodges in town." Andrew reported.
"Indeed not news to me. I have been hearing such scandals,but not so much sure. In fact you are the fourth person to tell me." Opio answered.
"Let me hurry home. My wife may begin to miss me. Andrew posed.
" you are right, its better to safeguard your wife. You know many men are eyeing her for you. But do me one favor. " Opio said.
"Which favor?" Andrew asked.
"Whenever you see that couple again,please inform me immediately. I love my girl," Opio posed.
"Alright. I will do the needful." Andrew posed as he took to heels.
Opio sat in his room cracking palm nuts. He looked up and saw Cynthia passing by. He close his eyes and saw Cynthia laying besides him.
Unconsciously, Opio stopped his cracking and began to think of Cynthia's beauty. He later sensed something to be done. Like every other man,he knew about Cynthia's beauty attracted many. As a matter of fact,something was to be done in defence of Cynthia's beauty.
