Episode 17

Two months later.
Krissh had gone back to Akure
Almost two months to the ending of my I.T, the mobile app is ready but I am yet to reveal it to the management. Things went on normal in the previous months, nothing dramatic, sandra choose to ignore me, not my problem, faith had resumed back to school. So I was just busy with work and yy and on friday evenings I'd go out to flex.

It was one of this friday night I met this guy called sam. I was in the bar having my drink codedly, I don't relate with people much, guess am an introvert.

The sam of a guy sat on a chair opposite mine, and he kept staring at me, when I started finding his stare absurd, I drink the last cup of the trophy I was drinking and headed out of the bar.

Few meters from the bar, I noticed someone was following me, I looked back and lo and behold it was the same guy from the bar approaching.
I stood gidigba, ready for anything.

Sam : hello I'm samson by name.

Me : hello how may I help you.

Sam : I'm a friend of yours from facebook, and I do feel those frosh pictures of yours, you should recollect now, the samson who told you to teach him yy on facebook back then from krissh.

Me : ( I remembered vividly, no wonder his face waS familiar) yeah I Remember

Sam : nice meeting physically boss.

Me : it's a pleasure

Sam : about that stuff, are you still into it

Me : (trying to be cautious) Nah

Sam : why ? If I may ask

Me : wasn't just making much from it, so I discarded it

Sam : well am into it big time, let's go back in and talk while we drink.

we went back to the bar and he told me a lot about himself, from our conversation, I could deduce that his into goods. but his dressing was to casual for a yy nigga who is getting it.

I insist I wasn't into yy all through the conversation, told him I was just a student.

From then on we became friends and we balled and rock together.

-------------------------------------------------------

On a certain friday, as fate would have it, I was in my office , preparing to leave for home around 3pm, when sam's call came through.

Sam : hello ife

Me : wassup ?

Sam : am outside your office right now

Me : okay am already packing my things to leave for home.

Sam : alright waiting, I need you for a deal.

Me : alright.

Hung up.

I picked my bag and joined him in is SUV parked opposite my office.

Sam : ife how far, I need you to help me pick up some stuffs at the post office .

Me : why me ?

Sam : you are dressing corporate, so no one would suspect you.

Me : are you sure, because I don't want issues with eke

Sam : yeah , fear not.

He gave me the details of the goods am to pick up and the necessary documents.
He drove me to the front of the post office , and waited in the car , while I went in.

Approaching the entrance of the post office , I saw a man in his late forties making a phone call. I ignored and went in.

I met a woman by the desk and she brought the package out, and unsealed in front of me, it was a gold wristwatch ,a laptop and a ps2.
She was like I have to pay some certain amount of money to pick it. I was disappointed because sam never told me this, so I informed her I would be back. I then left the office for outside, opening the gate to step out, I met four uniform me waiting for me.

I was agitating, it's unexpected, didn't sam said no cause for alarm.

I looked towards where he parked initially, he wasn't there anymore. I didn't no what to do next, various things were going through my mind.

The uniform men with the inscription SAS on their uniform approached me when they saw me.

Officer 1 : mister you have to come with us.

I didn't even argue, from escapades have heard from people, the best thing is to keep quiet and follow them. To avoid been mishandled, they pushed me into a micra cab they parked. And drove off.

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

Mary had survived the accident with a broken arm, cast in a PoP. A twisted ankle and bruises.

Tade sat at the foot of the hospital bed and massaged his daughter's feet. She looked frail in the green hospital gown. It could have been worse, he thought.
"Why don't you go home and have a change of clothes?" Tade asked as he watched Bola feed their baby girl on her sick bed.

Bola looked at him, mouth ajar in surprise. She wiped a lone tear off her cheek before shaking her head. "I'm ok like this, thanks."

Tade's new attitude baffled her. First, he had called his mum to bring her favorite dish of amala and ewedu. He had also insisted that she go home and rest, even though she had kicked against it vehemently.

Her phone vibrated in her purse. She sighed before picking the call.

"Hello." Bola said into her phone.

"Sister, where are you?" Sade asked from the other end.

Bola pinned her phone to her ear with one lifted shoulder, while she fed Mary cereal.

"At the hospital. How are you, Sade?" Bola said into the phone.

She had not left Mary's bedside since they got there the previous day. She had kept vigil with an equally anxious Tade and the Johnsons. Pa Johnson and his Wife had only left the hospital to prepare Dele for school. It's been one long night for the family.

"I need you sis, I really need you now." Was all Sade managed to say amidst sobs. Bola became apprehensive. Sade had put to bed a bouncing baby girl a couple of weeks earlier.

Noticing her discomfort, Tade moved closer to her.
"Let me have the cereal bowl" He mouthed and stretched his hands towards her. She quickly handed him the bowl and walked outside to receive the call.

"Sade, what's going on? How is Emily?" She asked, scared.

"Emily is fine, sis. She's...she's...she's not in ..."

"She's not where?" Bola asked impatiently. She may not be best of friends with her younger sister, but she sure cared about her. Sade had been through a lot in her last weeks of pregnancy, with three different men coming forward to claim paternity of the unborn baby.

"She's not in her baby cot..."

"Oh my! What happened?"

"She's missing...I've searched everywhere." she sobbed.

"Have you asked her father?" She asked.

"He's not even in the country at the moment." She sobbed uncontrollably. Bola could hear the background sound from sade's side. Objects being moved, tables being turned. The police, she thought.

"Who is there with you?" She asked

"Em...the police." Sade hesitated before she answered.

"Good. I'll be with you in an hour. Let me take care of my baby, then I'll be with you. Please don't tell mama and papa yet." She pleaded with her sister.

Bola sighed deeply as she entered her daughter's hospital room.

"Is everything alright?" Tade asked as she opened the door. He was done with the feeding and was rinsing the cereal bowl in the wash stand. Bola smiled inwardly in spite of herself. I have him by the jugular again, she thought.

"it's Sade o, her baby was kidnapped!" She told a concerned Tade.

jayloyexten: EPISODE FIVE

"I'm not a rapist, not gay, I am just a pervert awaiting death"

As I looked into the familiar face, and watch the words jump out, It was as if I could really see it...
I saw myself looking more than into his face,
but into the words...
as I looked into the words...
it exploded...

in death everything becomes clear, but what indeed is death?
death is clossing you eyes and finding yourself in another world...
A world you never have been too, where everything is different...
Heaven or hell!  I knew where I was...
at once I subscribed to death...
afterall there's no difference by my definition.

As I looked into those words I knew he talked of a girl I love soo much...
a girl I would miss soo much...
A girl I couldn't save allthough I heard her scream...
Yet she had screamed her love to me...
she said her name was,
SANDRA!!!

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

WEDNESSDAY. 8:30pm

      My mom was the last person I hugged before I entered the new Toyota Haice fourteen seater bus.
No matter the fun I was anticipating in Lagos, leaving home still triggered in me that emotional hormone called, epinephrine

As I was about to bend my head to enter the small bus, I turned back to wave my pretty younger sister, vera. Her beauty was trully stunning!
I've always tried to protect her from the prying eyes of pleasure configured boys</em>, whose ministry is female destruction...

After waving my sister, I bowed to enter and take my <em>lucky one chance...as I pryed at my seat, I saw that it was pitched in the most beautiful garden in the world...
how else would I explain it when next to me was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in the world...
I remembered creation,
Adam and Eve...my first thought was...
hey this is the bone of my bones!

As I beheld her beauty from the door, love at first sight blinded my eyes, It didn't even occur to me that I didn't bow my head well, her beauty was what I focused on, seating right on the back seat.

It was soo hard an accident against the top of the door, my fore head bruised and a strong wave of spontenous powerful excruciating pain, swept through my veins, like electric current, in reflex I flinched backwards, the temptation to hold my head and start sobbing came strongly. But the presence of that beautiful girl in the bus was so influential, I need to show manhood before her, that I'm no kid, like every male would feel before a female he's attracted to.

The begining of my suprices was in the remorse from everyone; everyone said 'sorry', but a sonorous tiny and piercing voice from the back seat made it two words.

"sorry dear"

My head felt like a fermented excreta...expanding and and contracting with wealthy fat worms crawling in their holy white apparel, releasing happy bubbles...
well, it would have only amounted to insignificance, if it were from someone else.

I entered the bus and sat right beside her, as our legs grazed, I knew we needed water to quench this rising inferno! 

I threw my face out from the window, and waved my mom and little sister bye. For once I saw a girl of more stunning beauty than my sister, and she seats right beside me, and so shall it be for the next ten hours, I was moved to say 'thank' you to God, although I didn't really know why. (winks)

The engine of the bus roared gently, from a slow initial drive...to a faster cruise, and then a crazy ZOOM!
The journey had just begun...I closed the windows gently, as the driver switched on the A/C...
the journey started well like most journeys that end up in a ditch!

I turned my head gently to the left to find the eye of the girl that sat as a diva right beside me. Its usually true that beauty at a distance is often contradicted at a close space scrutiny, but no! hers was emphasised at a close reach...my heart skipped a beat.

As my eyes were gradually trying to meet hers, and as her head moved right like the rising of the sun towards mine, my eyes instead met with the guy next to her. we were three at the back seat, with her in the middle. As our eyes met I saw something in his eyes that I could not explain, he looked at me like I was some food for him to eat.

"I'm David, may I meet you" I said to the girl, with my best natural accent.

"I'm Sandra" she said with a tiny smile that emphasised her dimples; on both cheeks.  "hope your head didn't hurt soo much?" she. completed.

"no it didn't hurt, afterall you caused it" I said with a chuckle.

she smiled "how?"

"I was stunned by your beauty, and was wondering if there was a heaven break out, like a prison break, of oustanding angels" I smiled, one part of my mind saying this is too early

"well good for you. Next time you would not stare for soo long again"

"actually I was following orders from my pastor, he said when we see a beautiful girl on the streets we should look just once, else the second look would amount to lust. That day I made up my mind to make the best use of my one chance, and keep my eyes focused...and look...keep looking...not looking away, untill I'm satisfied, in order not to look twice". as I was cracking the joke I was praying it would work...

"funny you" she said laughing softly.
at once I knew it worked, euphoria filled my heart.
My confidence started to grow, and I knew that as long a this bus is concerned, she will be mine through out the trip...
well that was my thought as a mortal man...

     we went fine, and in no time we were good together....
"may I have your hand?" I asked her politely

SILENCE

she turned and looked sraight into my eyes, my confidence shook.
like a big shock her finger touched my lips softly, as she whispered..
"you don't have to ask, be a man"

The words shook my confidence like an earthquake, but it impacted into me fire!  I held her hands, and placed it on my laps...
something happened but it was not obvious
our face turned to each other...
hell was in between us...
our lips drew close...
something was happening to me on the inside...
my legs grazed hers...
her shoe scratched the floor...
our lips were five centimetre apart...
four centemetre...
three centimetre...
two centimetre...
one centimetre...
I knew what was about to happen was terrible...
0.5 centimetre...
I could see the fire burning in my eyes right inside hers....
as our lips almost grazed...
A strong barratone voice sounded...
"children, this is not an hotel!" he didn't even say it softly, he shouted it to the hearings of almost all passengers in the bus. 

I turned, it was the man that sat beside her. My heart burned with rage not because I missed the first kiss of my life but the word 'children' and the open rebuke, every one turned behind, I tried to look into their eyeballs to show boldness, but every one were looking somewhere...
my trouser...
I looked down, and I knew she must be ashamed of me...
but she whispered a word to me...
"you are a man..."
I was stunned!

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

"Have your seat" chairmans voice came resounding into my ears, he pointed the couch where MR Familiar sat. He had just interupted my thoughts,
like mr Familiar interrupted my romance with Sandra.

Mr familiar was the man that sat beside me in the bus.
As I looked at the sofa, where I was to seat beside him, I had the feeling that Sandra will come back to life and seat beside us. 

A TINY TEAR WELLED DOWN MY EYES....
SANDRA...

In the windows of my imginations,
I see us lost in attractions...

I could not continue the poem in my heart...

ANOTHER TEAR FELL...
MAKING TWO,
ONE FOR ME, AND ONE FOR SANDRA!!!
my heart went black!

watchout for episode SIX!!!
