When they all realised that Ben didn't run and seem to know the strange man, they started coming out of their hidden places one after another. Most of the girls still remained in the bus, except for Clarieta, she wasn't in the bus and she was yet to come out of the bush.

"Wise one please help us, he is dying "Ben said pointing towards where Isaac's lying

"Where is that girl" Chief priest

"Which girl are you referring to" Ben asked

"The girl that was with him when he fainted" He replied

The boys went to check for her in the bus but she wasn't there, they checked the bushes around screaming her name but got no response.

"She is gone, her mission is accomplished already" the chief priest spoke to no one in particular.

"What do you mean by that wise one" Ben inquired

"Like I told you and your friend the other day, in due time, you will understand everything. Step aside" he said to Ben

Ben obeyed immediately, and then the chief priest brought out some charms from his bag, he started chanting some incantations. Bringing out different charms and touching isaac's forehead with it.

They were all looking at him with so much attention, it was just like what they see in the movies but this time it was happening right before their eyes and it's very real. When the chief priest realised that there were still some negative powers holding back Isaac from resuscitating, he instructed two boys to lift his body and carry him farther away from where they were. Ben and Seyyid lifted him and did has the chief priest has instructed.

"There is no need to fret, he will be alright, you people should continue fixing whatever is wrong with your bus, you must leave this place as soon as he wakes up" the chief priest said and proceeded to where they took his body to. He continued with the incantations, he put some liquid stuffs in his mouth and something that looks like Kola on his forehead and in his two hands.

The process continued for a long time, the people at the bus were done with fixing the tyres and are waiting for the chief priest to be done. Some already gave up hope that Isaac was going to die, some including Ejiro were already crying. Clarieta was still no where to be found. The priest still continued incantating and then stood up suddenly from where he was squatting, he was yet to be on his feet when Isaac sneezed.


'What happened to me' Isaac asked.

'We should be the ones asking that question, you passed out when you went in to the bush with Clarieta'

The memories began pumping in, he remembered how he followed her unwillingly, he remembered the sex and that was when he blacked out.

'What did you see when you passed out' the chief priest asked.

'It was like I was taken back to decades ago, in a very primitive village, I saw a girl talking to me, she called me a name I really can't remember the name again, she told me to be strong' he paused abruptly like something just popped into his head.
"S'ara giri omo ekun, iwo lo ma bori, (Remain brave strongman, you will conquer) those were her words exactly" he explained.

Ben and Seyyid kept staring at him like he was insane but the chief priest understood what was going on.

"It has been written already, all these are just the manifestation of the prophecy" the chief priest said

"What prophecy" they all chorused together.

"In due time you will understand, rise up my son. It's time for you people to leave" he replied them


The others that were by the car were now worried about what was going on with Isaac in the bush were they him, one of the lecturers was about to go and check up on what was happening when he saw them coming out from the bush. They all jumped for joy to see Isaac on his feet, the girls rushed to hug him and the boys just shook hands with him.

'You people should start leaving immediately' Chief priest

'Leaving, But we haven't seen Clarieta yet, how can we leave without her' Ejiro

'You have to leave without her' chief priest replied her with a stern look

'I can never leave without my best friend' Ejiro insisted

'Best friend you say' the priest asked almost shouting.

'Yes' she snapped back

'What do you know about her, have you ever seen her family, have you ever been to her father's house, have you even ever seen her talk to any of her family members before' the priest shouted again, he was wearing a very furious look.

Ejiro thought about all the question, she has never seen her speak of or to any of her family, she practically had no friend apart from Ejiro herself. Many a times, she had asked her about her family but she just shoved the questions away.

"You really don't know her and you call her your best friend, that girl is not who you think she is" the chief priest said with a soft tone. "She has fooled you all but you are not to be blamed because this was how it was supposed to happen, the only thing altered in the prophecy now is that you are supposed to be dead due to what happened to you in the bush" he pointed to Isaac.
"You are not dead now because the gods are behind you, you have to be on the look out now because she will come back to finish what she has started, farewell to you all" he left immediately he finished talking in order not to be asked another question.

As soon as the chief priest left, they all ran into the bus out of fear of what may happen to them if they remained there all by themselves. All that happened in the space of when their bus had flat tyres till now seemed like a dream to them all, they just had a first class witness of things that will be tagged as superstitions in a movie. Isaac almost died and the priest said it was Clarieta that wanted to kill him, Clarieta herself is no where to be found.

Isaac's wondering why Clarieta would even want to kill him, he wondered if they have ever met in the past before meeting in the university.

Ben's wondering what all that just happened has to do with him, is there a connection to him in the prophecy.

Ejiro's thinking about how she has been fooled by Clarieta, she was so blinded by her love for her that she couldn't see the obvious. Most times she had caught Clarieta talking to herself, sometimes she was absent minded. How could she not have made anything out of all those scenarios.

The journey back to Abuja was a very silent one unlike when they were coming to the village full of excitement and anticipation of the adventures that they will experience. It was indeed a very interesting one, one they will never forget in their lives.

[b] **Present day**



The following weeks at school felt so awkward for the guys, Isaac and Clarieta could barely look each other in the eyes after what happened the other day. Ben who's also feeling guilty for cheating on Ejiro kept his distance from her and also tried acting normal whenever he is around Anne in order not to arouse suspicions.

Ben has practically devoted all of his time to Anne, they seem to be lovers but none of them asked each other out so they just take everything as it comes. Ejiro caught them winking and making advances at each other a couple of times during lectures but she decided to stay mute, she still had some positive thought that Ben will come back to her and their love story will continue but when she realised their relationship has gone down the drain, she decided to confront him.

Ben and Isaac were walking down from the cafeteria when she walked up to them.

"Hi guys, Isaac can you excuse us for a minute" she said with a very unfriendly look and tone

"It's no problem " Isaac said and walked down to sit under a tree while waiting for his friend. He hasn't spoken a word to Clarieta for weeks, even though it's hard to accept but deep inside him, he was missing her.

"Ben if you can remember vividly at the beginning, I warned you about not breaking my heart. You specifically gave me your word that you will never break my heart, what is all these rumours am hearing about you and Anne" Ejiro


'What rumours might that be 'Ben cuts in

'Okay let me cut to the chase, are you or are you not dating Miss Anne' she asked

Ben was still thinking about what to say when his phone rang... he excused himself to pick the call but Ejiro walked away in annoyance.


"Hello Anne" he spoke expecting her to respond but all he was hearing were sobs on the other end of the line

"What's wrong with you Anne".....
"They just called me from home, my father is dead"..... Anne spoke after crying for a while
"Where are you"... Ben
"Am at home".... Anne
"Okay hold on, am on my way "...... Ben said, hung up and walked to meet Isaac under the tree.

"Guy that was Anne, she just lost her dad "he said
"Oopz that's sad, you wanna go see her right now yeah " Isaac asked
"Yeah "he replied and hastened away.



**(Unknown time)**



It's been days since Adisa has been buried but the mourning and sadness still lingers on. Tunji hasn't gone to the farm ever since then, his mother Omolabake hasn't said a word ever since Adisa's death either. Most of the times she has been in her hut behind the house.

After a couple of days, she summoned Tunji and Ashake to her hut. It really took them by surprise because never before has she ever done that kind of thing.

"Babatunji, it's been a while that your father Adisa has died now. You have to step into his shoes now, you have to take care of yourself and your sister Ashake. I noticed you have not been going to the farm for a while but today you have to do so" Said Labake.

Old age has really done harm to her beauty but deep inside, you can still see the beauty of her glory days, even behind the wrinkled face, she is still beautiful.

'And you Ashake 'she continues. 'You have to go and fetch firewood today because I see we are running out of firewood'.

The two of them both concurred without arguing or showing their surprises about how all of a sudden, she is interfering in the wellbeing of the house.

They both left the house almost immediately laughing and talking about how Mama has suddenly changed. They were both happy for the new development.


As soon as they left, Labake went back into her hut after talking to herself for a while.



Later in the day, Ashake came home with the firewood she was able to fetch. She was really exhausted and so she rested a little in the house before going to the back to check on Labake. After she was much rested, she proceeded to her room but she was amazed by what she saw.



Tunji really didn't have much strength to cultivate the farm so he left for home after a little while at the farm. He was very tired and hungry so he walked as fast as he could, just as he was about to get home he began to hear a voice screaming. A voice he will recognise anytime, anyday.

"That's Ashake screaming "he said to himself and immediately took to his heels to find out what was happening at home.


On getting home, he realised that the screams was coming from his mother's hut, he thought about the worst, was his mother dead, he has to find out, he kept on running and tried to wave the evil thought of his mother dying.

He barged into the room and found his mother Omolabake lying down on the ground lifelessly.



**(Present day (Somewhere in Ondo state))**


"Ben I can't thank you enough for all the things you have done for me, you have been with me from the first day I got the news about my father's death and right now you are even here in the village with me for his burial, you are such a Blessing to me" said Anne.

"It's no problem my baby, you know I will do anything for you, what I just don't understand is how your family are trying to pull such a great party just a week after your Father's death "Ben
"It was his last wish that we should bury him just a week after his death and it should be a mighty ceremony and moreover my people love parties like crazy "she replied smiling

They kept walking down the path that leads to her family house, holding hands together. Their relationship has really been catalysed by the recent events, their love has been waxing stronger day after day.

"Oh Ben lest I forget, I got a call from school autority today, I learnt they dropped a bus for whoever wants to come to my father's burial and that they are already on their way. I have to go and Make provision for where they will pass the night " Anne

"Really, that's really a nice gesture by the school but you don't really have friends, do you?" Ben asked

"No I don't, that's why am surprised about the people they were talking about but well we will find out in just few hours from now" she replied

They got home after a long walk that has now gotten Ben exhausted, as soon as they got home, Anne went on about looking for where her visitors will put up. Ben fell asleep in Anne's car where he decided to stay and listen to some music. The village was so busy due to the event that is coming up in a few days time, you won't need to be told that Anne's father was a prominent person in the village.


He had slept for a while until he was disturbed by some sounds, he woke up and saw a white toyota coaster bus parked infront of him. He already knew it was the school bus even before reading the inscriptions 'University of Abuja' on it.

He gradually opened his sleepy eyes to see if their will be anyone he will be able to recognise, he was really bored and needed some company. He wasn't impressed when he first saw two of their lecturers alighting from the bus, some 400l students who happened to be Anne's coursemate, he felt excited when he saw his Class-rep and Zainab Lawal but then he got the shock of his life when he saw the next set of people that alighted from the bus. First of was Clarieta and then Ejiro and then his bosom friend Isaac.
