Then Comfort bowed her head and whispered ''thank you ma'' She walked out of her madam's room with a smile playing on her lips but as she touched the door knob, Mama Bukky called out to her again ''Comfort'' ''Ma'' ''Have you eaten?'' ''Yes ma'' ''Good. Have you heard from Ojo of lately?'' as she spoke, she licked her fingers and continued to stare at Comfort. Her small black eyes terrified Comfort and it seemed like she was boring a hole through the young girl's soul. Comfort was so terrified, she failed to answer the question on time so Mama Bukky asked again ''have you seen Ojo since?'' ''No ma'' ''Okay he will come later this evening. Me I don’t know the business the two of you have oh but he said he wants to see you later today. He was saying something about … (yawns) haba why so tired? Anyway he was saying something about getting you a phone so you people can be talking?'' ''Okay ma'' ''Just like that? Okay ma? Are you not happy? Can't you express your happiness abi has that your husband in your village; what is that his name again?'' ''Jide ma'' 1 Like |

Interesting story with so much intrigue. However, i'm not impressed with d manner of mama bukky's death, its just too cheap for her type between that innocent soul (comfort) now has blood on her hand in a bid to free herself. The poor girl will surely live with d guilt for d rest of her life when she discovered dt she has a hand in her madam's death. All in all, may the Good Lord increase ur knowledge, broaden ur wisdom and strengthen ur understanding. More ink to ur pen touchmeder. KUDOS |

Re: The Cul De Sac by OYAY(m): 8:35am On Jul 11, 2015 |
Touch me there you have really done well in this story! Well my take is that anyhow Ashake must die but that her blood is in that innocent,goal oriented and ambitious Comfort girl is saddening and that the coward way out proffer by Jide is not good enough. |
Re: The Cul De Sac by CuteTolex(f): 11:02am On Jul 11, 2015 |
Hmmm Mama bukky see ur life. Touchmeder u've done well o jare |
Re: The Cul De Sac by Codyt(m): 1:46pm On Jul 11, 2015 |
For mama bukky.... There's no sympathy from me. you are to "suffer" for your misdeeds.. .... But in this case, it was in a silent manner . May God grant touchmeder more understanding to finish this piece. |

A giant might not really die by a gigantic move but by a little underserve act. Ride on touchmeder, buh it seems the story is taking the exit door soonest. The major characters are casting away gradually. |

Then husband and wife began to struggle for the small polythene bag like children struggling for a party favour. However Ojo had the upper hand and the moment he seized the bag, he pushed Kemi aside then ran out of the house. Kemi rushed out of the house and continued to rain insults at him ''agbaya, useless man, oloshi, woman wrapper. You will go and meet me when you return. Alabi ko Alabi ni!'' Ojo hurried towards his friend's house and all the while, he was thinking of the excited look on Comfort's face. Comfort had been acting indifferent towards him but he hoped with his small offering, she would finally warm up to him. It was not such an expensive phone but it was a brand new one and any village girl will be excited to have it. By the time Ojo got to Àshàké's door, he knocked like an excited child on Halloween's night but he got no reply. Then he tried her number again and again - still no reply. He even yelled Comfort's name at some point - still no reply. He was almost thinking of leaving when he tried one last thing. He held the door knob and the door swung wide open! Ojo was shocked; Àshàké never joked with her security and her door was always locked. Ojo stepped into the house and continued to call their names in surprise ''Àshàké, Àshàké it is me Ojo. Comfort, Comfy are you in?'' He kept calling their names until he decided to call her number again. Suddenly he could hear Àshàké's phone ringing. This time around, he ran to the place the sound was emanating from - her bedroom. There he found her sleeping soundly or was she? He hissed in annoyance then he tapped her leg again and again. There was something about it, it was somewhat stiff. Then he shook her again and again and this time around he began to panic. He worked all the way up to her shoulder and shook her vigorously. Then he placed a hand on her wrist and felt her pulse - gone. He placed a hand on her chest - nothing. Then he slowly backed out of her room. He shut the door behind him and walked to the parlor calmly then he remembered the small polythene bag. The last place in the world he wanted to be was back in Àshàké's room but he had to. 1 Like |

*** The following day, the Ebosele’s were making the final move to Lagos. Pearl sat in the front seat with Ose behind. She looked through the mirror and noticed as he husband talked to someone on the phone. Some seconds later he approached the car and continued to talk ‘’alright then I’ll give you a call once we arrive’’ Once he was done he announced ‘’that was Ejemen, she sends her regards’’ ‘’Great! Was that about your young protégée?’’ ‘’Oh yes the young man Emmanuel Azubike. I’ve never met someone who is more eager to turn his life around. As I left that day, he asked me to get something small for him. It’s the least I can do for him. He deserves another shot at life because we all deserve a second chance’’ ‘’True’’ Pearl replied. Then Imonitie continued ‘’he is an orphan. His uncle that sent for him has deserted him. He has no one out here and he cannot afford a lawyer that’s why his case has been stalling. Ejemen appears hopeful but as usual she is keeping her cards to her chest. She says she will fix it and I have implicit faith in her. She said he may do a little more time before he is let out. Luckily it was not armed robbery and he has spent some time in prison already. He is also a first time offender and they will take all that into consideration during his sentencing. I wish him well and that’s the most I can offer him’’ ‘’You’ve done well’’ Pearl whispered. |
