Camera opens on Onyema walking around and feeling disturbed in the dining hall. 
Onyema (thought): what have I done to my lovely wife Patricia? I have used my own hands to bring down my home because of sex. My beautiful wife has left me because she caught me sleeping with our house help. This mistake I made is very expensive and I don’t know if she will ever forgive me and come back to me again. Kate, our house help, even warned me that we should not do it in the first place but I neglected her advice because I couldn’t control my sexual desire and my erection, I allowed my erection to control me now see where it has landed me. If Patricia doesn’t follow me back to this house, I will never forgive myself. I really messed up big time. Just look at the sumptuous meal she prepared for us to eat, who is going to eat them now, this food will be a waste because of my silly mistake (he thought as he opened the plates of food one after the other). I have to go and look for my wife before anything happens to her because I can’t afford to lose her for any reason. Let me start going without wasting much time”. He picked up his car keys and left his house, he locked the house and move to his garage and start his car then drove off. As Onyema was driving, a thought came into his mind again, “this libido has put me into a big trouble and this my erection has brought a great problem to me, where do I start from? God please help me bring my wife to me for I don’t want to lose her”. He had a sigh as he approached the house of his brother in-law. As he drove into the compound, Fred, Patricia’s brother was already coming out of his building, moving towards his car to drive out. As he saw his sister’s husband driving into his compound, he stood by the side of his car and watched him parked his car with the ignition on. 
Onyema quickly alighted from his car and ran to Fred as if something was chasing him. Fred gave him a worried look and asked Onyema some questions.
Fred: My in-law, this one you rush into my compound, hope there is no problem?

Onyema: Fred, please have you seen my wife? She left my house without telling me where she was heading to and the way I am seeing her, she may never come back to that house again.

Fred: wait! My sister left your home and you don’t know her whereabout? You must be joking Mr man.

Onyema: please Fred I am not joking. Help me find my wife and bring her back to me. I know I have offended her but I still love her so much.

Fred got a little bit surprised and serious.

Fred: You mean my sister left your house because you too had a fight? Hope you did not lay your filthy hands on my sister? If you do, I will beat you up mercilessly here right now.

Fred said that in an angry tone as he approached Onyema for a fight.

Onyema: No no please don’t hit me. I didn’t hit your sister.

Onyema replied Fred as he was moving away from him. As Fred approached him to attack Onyema, he was busy resisting Fred so that he will not hit him. He continued to move away from him as Fred asked him a question.

Fred: If you didn’t hit my sister, what did you do to her that made her leave your house?

Onyema: Your sister didn’t leave my house because we argue or fight, it was because…

Onyema was afraid to say what he did before Fred so he muted and was staring at Fred fearfully.

Fred: Yes, go on. Tell me what  happened between you and my sister ( he spoke to Onyema angrily and hurriedly).

Onyema was still dumbfounded and didn’t know how to say it before Fred so he started feeling scared before Fred because he doesn’t know what he was about to do to him right there in his compound.

Fred: Stop wasting my time man, if you don’t want to talk, say something or tell me anything about my sister, I will call the police and get you arrested right now.

Onyema: ok, I will tell you but don’t be hard on me.

Fred: oh! I should be soft on you now that my sister is missing, abi? Just pray that nothing bad should happen to my sister, if not you will have yourself to blame.

Onyema: I am sorry about my actions towards my wife. Actually, what happened was that my wife caught me having sex with Kate, our house help, on our matrimonial bed.

Fred: What! Tell me it was a lie.

Onyema: It is true and I am sorry. It is the work of the devil.

Fred: Oh men! You messed up big time. Let me go and look for my sister. When I find my sister, I will come for you,ai?

He picked up his phone and dial his sister’s phone number. Patricia’s phone started to ring. Patricia saw her brother’s name on her phone so she answered the call.

Patricia: Hello Fred (she said softly)

Fred: Hello Patricia, where are you now? ( he replied anxiously)

Patricia: Fred don’t worry about me for I am fine and safe right here.

Fred: Really? No Patricia you really need to tell me where you are right now so that I can come and pick you up. Your husband is here with me, he is worried about you, we all are worried about you.

Patricia: which husband? That bastard! See Fred, if you really want to come for me, please come alone and take me. I don’t want to set my eyes on that bastard, you hear me?

Fred: ok just send me the address, I am on my way now.

Patricia: I will forward the address to you immediately.

After the conversation, Patricia end the call and texted the address to her brother Fred.
Immediately the message entered the phone of Fred, he quickly read the message, rushed into his car and started the ignition.
Onyema insisted on going with Fred to search for his wife but Fred stopped him and said.

Fred: Young man, I think my sister is still mad at you and she told me that she don’t want to set her eyes on you. You know what you will do for me? Just go home and wait for your wife, I will bring your wife to you I promise.

Onyema: No please! Let me go with you to fetch my wife, I can’t just go home like that.

Fred: You heard me young man, go home now or I will …

Onyema: ok I will go home now. Please help me bring back my wife.

Onyema quickly told Fred as he hurriedly entered into his car, started the ignition and drove home while Fred got into his car and drove off in search of his sister.
