We work as sales boys in Aribila's bar in one of the busiest place in lagos. Since he has brought us from the deserted road that night and have been taking good care of us. We managed his bar for him since he has no sales boy or girl

In our first two years in our working place, everything seem cool and smooth because we are being guarded by potter as people often call Mr Aribila.

"Potter boys" as we are often called by the customers of potter.

"Give us four plates of bush meat and four bottles of 33", one of snails customers ordered.

Ori (head) as he was often called is one of our regular customer. He comes to our bar every friday evening with different young girl. This evening he came with three different ladies apart from the ashawos that lives in the brothel beside our bar


Suddenly some young people suspected to be member of a secret cult stormed our s with cutlass and other dangerous weapons in their hand. They kept shouting on top of their voice beating anybody on sight.

I ran out of the bar but noticed Bidemi is out of sight, I saw him minutes ago when he went to went to attend ori.

"Kola!!" I heard bidemi calling me from afar. I turned around and saw him distance away. I was relieved.

As I attempt to run, I felt a sharp pain on my head. I felled to the ground unconscious

***********************************************

I opened my eyes and saw snail and Bidemi beside me whispering to each other.

"Oh thanks God he is awake" Bidemi said that smilling to me.

"What happened" I asked trying to raise my head up.

"Those cultist gang use machete to hit you on you head" potter said explaining to me. "Just relax and get well better, I wanna go to station now to make my own statement, sorry" he said then pat my chest before departing.

"Sorry kola" bidemi patted my chest. "Mama snail bought rice for you" he said as he bent down under the bed and bought out a flask opened it.

He placed the food on the drawer and help me to sit upright.

After I finish eating. Then I noticed that there is bandage on my head.

"How did this happen" I asked confused. "When I called you that fateful even and you are about to run to my side" he started. "One of those cultist use his cutlass to cut you on your head, you slumped and went unconsious., thanks to mr Ori's courage. But unfortunately he died" he said sobberly

"What!"

To be continued...............

Chapter 3


"You mean ori died in that attack", I asked confused.
"But you said that he carried me, how come he died". I asked now anxious to get an answer
.
"When he tried to carry you away from where you are, some of the cultist attacked him and wounded him, he died on the spot" he said with tears in his eyes.

Am still in a state of concussion when labake entered.

"Ohhh thank God you are alive" labake said as
she rush to the ward I am admitted to.
"Hope you are now okay and getting better"s he asked and smile.

Labake is one of the prostitutes that works in the brothel beside our bar. She bought most of the things I and Bidemi was using at that time . Potter once warned me to desist from collecting gifts from labake, But she won't desist from buying me gifts.

"Initially am not in the brothel that evening, when I came back one of my friends told me all that happened" she said as she stand stand up.

She staired at me for some minutes without saying anything. I kept wondering what the hell she is doing.

"I will see you later kola. Bye" she finally said and make her way out of the ward I was admitted in.

I stared at her with as she walks reluctantly out of the hospital. With her expression she don't want to leave me.

" May God save you from this girl" Bidemi said as he lie in an empty bed beside my bed.

"I wanna rest" he said as he doze off. As I kept imagining what has happened.

"Oh mother, thanks for saving me" I whispered.

**********************************************

"Do you know the reason am doing all this for you?" Labake asked me two days after I was discharged from the hospital.
we were siting on a bench infront of the brothel

"I will be telling you this because your stay here is not hundred percent sure". She paused a little to catch her breadth before she continues.

"As things is going, I don't think potter will ever open this bar again, " she greet to one of her friends from the brothel.

"As am saying" she continued. "I will like to tell you that am your fathers sister daughter".she said as she paused to know my reaction.

"What" I said confused.

To be continued"

"Yes" she replied with confirmation in her eyes.

Immediately mind flash back to the story my mother told me about how she was sent away by Labake's mother. The pains my mum felt then make me felt like killing her instantly.

"And you have the gut to talk to me"I asked shouting at the top of my voice.

Immediately I rise up and head straight without saying anything again. She kept calling my name but I walk away from in tears in my eyes.

So I have been enjoying and collecting things from my relative and I didn't know since. And how did she know me? What led her to doing prostitutes?

The questions kept repeating itself in my head. I can feel the heat in my head from the bondage on my head. I get went inside not saying anything.

"Why are you cry" Bidemi asked when he noticed am crying.

"You can't believe that Labake is my sister, my father elder sister daughter for that matter"I said now crying loudly.

"what!" He said surprised.

"Who told you" he asked again with his eyes anticipating for an answer.

Just then we heard potter calling us from the sitting room.

"Kola and Bidemi come here " he called us. "We have an issue to address right now"he said.

I quickly wipe my eyes and compose myself as we walk briskly to the sitting room.

"Sit down" he ordered and paused. He then start.

"As you all know what happened here last friday" he asked as we nodded in affirmation.

"I just got word now from the police that from their investigation, those cultist came here solely because of me but the reason still unknown and the police have advised me to close this shop and stay away from here pending the time everything will be calm. " he said as he fought back tears from his eyes.

This words came as a blow to us and I felt a sharp pain like when I was attacked with cutlass. This time I can't fight back the tears in my eyes.

"Oh no kola" he said as he rise up and pat my back. "Am not going finally, am still coming back" he assured us as he went back to his seat.

"But you must promise me something that when I come back. I won't have any regret accommodating and even leaving you here" he said as he smilled to us.

"You can have our trust sir" Bidemi said.

"When are you going sir". Bidemi asked potter having site a box beside him.

"As you can see, I have already packed few of my things, I will be going now. Please take care of yourself boys. God will provide for your needs"he said as he took his car key.

Bidemi helped him to carry his bag as they head out of the room.

********************************************

In the middle of the night, we heard a knock in our door. Many thought ran through my mind. Can those be the cultist or who is that in the middle of the night

" Who is that?" Bidemi asked

"It me Labake". the person replies from outside.

"Why the hell is she here?". I thought

When a question is raised,u dnt use said instead you use "asked". You shldnt be quoting too many sentence unnecesarily. Spellings and omission of words is just too much. You should also learn to use few right words to cover for several words that you have been using.

I aint a writer but a reader. All the best.
