[size=20pt]CHAPTER 18[/size]


Hannah ate her tears without choice as she reminded herself of the horrible event at James’s place. Her memories kept the horror she felt in replay; how she woke and found herself defiled and bleeding between her thighs. She thought she averted the psychopath from the music school, but she had walked right into her doom. She still couldn’t fathom why James could have done that. He has never tried to force her even after she told him they can no longer do anything that is sex related.
That morning, James kept begging her and telling her that nothing has changed between them, and when she kept asking him why he had to do that, he only kept saying that nothing has changed between them. He even swore by God. She had no choice but to skip the Church service of yesterday and as things turned out to be, she even thought of staying away completely.

How could she have faced the Pastor and claim she was no more a virgin? How could she have told Sister Blessing she was sorry she disappointed her? There was no doubt that they will laugh at her if she even said she was raped!

Frist, she had no reason to sleep over at a man’s house, that was even enough reason to nail her. She was a leader in the Church, one that was being considered for a higher post, she was expected to live by example, and part of the rule was to abstain from sex-related acts; that was an oath she took.

She cried and cried until the tear glands got tired and could not produce any more tears. She refused to answer her calls.

James had came by her house three times, knocking on her door and asking for her forgiveness. James has ruined her, she knew that. That wasn’t even the scary part; she wondered how her parents will take the news. Though she hasn’t told anyone, but she was sure that mere the avoidance of the test she had so much boasted she would take to prove that the rumours about the Coordinator and her were wrong was enough to build an edifice of speculation, the wrong ones too. And it would be long before the Church knows about it too.

She screamed and wailed, but there was no one to help her. For a moment, she blamed God for not making it easy to replace the hymen; especially if one lost it without intention. She wondered why it couldn’t have been so easy that she could seal it back with glue.


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


Emeka rolled over from her top where he had been going up and down, heaving and breathing hard on her just in the name of having sex. That was the fifth time today, and she wondered if she could take another one. She was sure Emeka was on drugs; a sex-enhancing drug.

She breathed deeply to catch her breath, placing her hand on her chest as it heaved up and down.

“That was awesome,” Emeka said. He stood up and stretched. “Five more to go,” he announced, “I promised myself I’m going ten rounds today.”

“In your dreams, right,” Blessing said, sitting upright, she picked up her skirt of the floor.

“You said I can have it any way I like. You even said I can kill you with it.”

“Well, I didn’t say you could do it in one day, and I didn’t say you could kill me with it today.”

“I delivered,” he said. “That is all that mattered. You wanted Hannah’s virginity taken and I coerced her boyfriend to do it. You got what you needed and you have to give me what you promised me.”

“Emeka, you know that the best I ever did was three rounds.”

“Two and a half; that was the best I ever got.”

“What do you mean by half?” She asked while squeezing into her clothes.

“The day we almost did three, you stopped as soon as you climaxed and climbed down.”

She scoffed, “So, how is that a half?”

“I haven’t come,” he announced.

“Jesus, you’re impossible. It was clear you were on drugs that day, you wouldn’t have come even in an hour.”

“That’s okay. When are we going to see again? You still owe me some…”

“I know. We’ll see tomorrow.” She said; she was already dressed up except for her shoes.

“Should I come over to your place?”

“No!” She shouted.

Emeka was startled.

“I’m sorry,” she apologized, “but I expect you to know better. I have told you about this already. You can’t be coming to place again.”

“I still don’t understand why?” Emeka shrugged. “Now, I helped you get what you always wanted and you want to get rid of me. I get it; I am no more useful to you, right?”

“How could you even say that?”
“Remember, you once told me that the only thing you wanted was to become the head of the Choir- the Choir Mistress. Now that you have been finally conferred with the title, my work is done, right?”

“Emeka, poor you,” she smiled and walked up to him. She stretched his cheeks playfully and Emeka gently yanked himself from her grip like a sullen child. She chuckled and said, “I can’t believe you’re acting like a child. You think I can forget all you have done for me? No, I can’t, dear.”

“So, why did you…”

“…because I am now the overall Choir Mistress!” She interjected. “Many of the Choir members will bump on me anytime. They have unrestrained access to my place, my resident. Just as the other Choir Mistresses were like a mother to them, I must be to them also.”

“But…but Ruth didn’t ask me to stay away. You guys meet me there every time and it didn’t change a thing.”

“Ruth was stupid and careless to have you around every now and then. That was why the scandal stuck like her skin,” Blessing replied in a stern firm voice. “I don’t even think we should be talking about that. Besides, it is berating to compare Ruth with me, she was never a Choir Mistress; she was just a vocal leader.” She bragged. “But, like I said, I don’t think we should discuss Ruth.”

“Me neither,” Emeka said. “So, you promised to be around anytime I need you?”

“Of course; you know I can’t do without you,” she managed to fake a smile.
“Are you serious about that?” Emeka asked with all seriousness. He couldn’t believe Blessing said that.

“Yes,” she said.

“Are you serious?” Sister Mary who has also been with them all along asked Blessing.

“No,” she said again, in reply to her dead lover.

“What?” Emeka asked, puzzled.

“What is what?” Blessing asked like she didn’t know she already goofed again.

“You said ‘yes’, you can’t do without me and you said ‘no’ again. What are you really saying?”

“Emeka, the ‘no’ wasn’t for you. A thought just came through my head and errr…”

“Never mind, it’s okay.” Emeka waved it aside. He didn’t want to believe that it almost meant much to him. He can’t be falling in love with Blessing; doing that will be nothing but a curse!


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

Bukky walked very fast, she was talking to herself, and she was definitely angry.

“This is the third week; that girl really thinks she will not hold her end of the deal.” She scoffed, clapped her hands three times and hissed. She kept talking to herself, “You came to me and asked for my help, I did my part and you refused to honour yours. That is impossible! If you can’t pay for the goods, then you need to return it.”

She kept talking to herself as she walked in anger to Sarah’s place. She brisk past everyone without a ‘hi’, even those she knows. All that was on her mind was getting to Sarah’s place to ask why Jackson hasn’t called her like she promised. It almost three weeks’ since she disappeared.

“She came to my place and started telling me Johnson will be a better option. Johnson of all people! That dirty old guy without an iota of pride. He can have sex with a dog. What did they take me for? Oh, my Jackson,” she reverie as she kept talking to herself. “I have imagined myself in his strong arms for days, and she came over with one stupid Johnson’s news. That will be over my dead body!” She snapped her fingers with her hand going over her head like she was scooping something from her front to her back.

“Sister Bukky, Sister Bukky!” A voiced called out but she kept on muttering to herself, walking faster without paying any attention. The Lady ran after her and caught up with her. She tapped her by the arm and she sprung around, scared. She gave a huge sigh and placed her hand on her chest as she saw who touched her.

“Thank God,” she breathed out. “Kaffy,” she called her name, “How are you?”

“I’m fine,” Kaffy replied. “I have been calling you since you passed by me; you seemed to be worried about something. You didn’t even see me.”

“See, Kaffy, I am sorry, okay? I was not paying attention. I was to be somewhere, and I think I am already late.”

Kaffy sighed. “I guess as much. Hope there is no problem?”

“No problem, Kaffy. I need to see Sister Sarah before she left her house this morning.”

“Sister Sarah?”

“Yes,” she nodded, “the same one in the Choir.”

Kaffy looked confused. “I don’t understand.”

“Understand what? I didn’t speak in French.” Bukky said, a little bit confused too.

“I mean, unless you guys wanted to meet elsewhere, or she has packed out of her place, then, you have passed her house already.” Kaffy notified her.

Bukky looked around, turned left and right and ran her hands through her hair. “That girl really thinks she can start controlling me spiritually?” Bukky asked rhetorically.

“I hope everything is fine, Sister Bukky?” Kaffy asked.

“Kaffy, thank you very much, you are God-sent. We will talk later.” She said and turned around and started walking back, talking to herself again, leaving Kaffy in a confused state. Kaffy was not sure what she could make out of the fat girl’s recent act.


END OF 18.
