Welcome back Harry.

Almost gave up on you.

Ajoke folded her hands over her chest pacing her sitting room. She stared at the wall clock for the fifth time, and let out a long breath. Daniel had promised to spend the weekend in her apartment, but there she was, alone, feeling disappointed.

She stared at the wall clock again, it was few minutes pass 2pm. Daniel had promised to show up in the morning, but he had failed to keep his promise. It made Ajoke a bit angry, wondering if he would show up because Daniel had not been good to his promises lately. She had not set her eyes on Daniel for two weeks since she returned from the shrine of the herbalist. But she knew better, he would come, if not today, he would surely find his way here to satisfy to his lust. And that will be the beginning of his dawn fall.

Ajoke went down slowly into the chair and leaned her head back with her gaze fixed on the ceiling. The ringing phone on the small table beside. her brought her back to reality. She stared at the small screen that displayed Daniel's number. She let it rang for few seconds before she picked.

"Hello?"

"Sweetie, where are you?" Daniel voice came from the other end.

"Where do you expect me to be?" Anger bubbled her words. "What's keeping you so long."

"Sorry dear, I'm having some arrangements for us, it will be nice to have you here."

Ajoke was silent for few seconds. She wanted to ague but she knew any quarrel with him would prolong her chances.

"Hello?"

"Where are you?" Ajoke asked.

"I'm in Marryland. Meet me at the fastfood restaurant closer to the bus stop, I will be waiting for you."

"I will be there." Ajoke ended the call and pulled herself up from the chair, then walked into her room.

****

Femi walked along the busy road, lost in his thought, not feeling the hotness of the afternoon sun. The words of the prophet he had just meet filled his mind. He just couldn't help but laugh as the words kept coming back to him. Who is he to save the world? The world didn't need anybody to save it, he thought. The prophet must be fake, and a coward who was only scared of the devil, or maybe he was one of them. Femi shook off the thought as he walked to the bus stop. He decided to have his lunch before taking his next move. He stared around the place looking for a local restaurant, but none was around there, except fastfood restaurant. He walked into one of it, then ordered his meal, and advanced toward a table in a corner away from others.

He pulled a full spoon of rice into his mouth and picked up a glass of water to his lips. He just couldn't concentrate as the thought of his future troubled him. What if anything happened to him? What if he lost his life along the line? Who was going to take care of his child? He decided to hold on to his original plan. He would send his son to his parents just in case. He can't afford to see him suffer.

As hungry as he was, he couldn't eat half of his food. He picked up the glass of water to his lips, and then his phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Femi," his mother's voice sounded from the other end of the cellphone. "How are you my son?"

"Thank God, mama. How is Papa?"

"That's the reason why I'm calling you," his mother said. "Your father is very sick, and he's been demanding to see you."

"Sick? Since when?"

"Going to three weeks now. I've tried all I could but it's getting worse day by day. And what happened? You've not been coming home, and you didn't even call us on phone."

"I'm sorry mama, I'm just thinking of you when your call came in." Femi said. "I will come over to the village by next week."

"Alright, I will say that to your father. We will be expecting you."

Femi wasn't happy about the news. His father was not that old and he can't afford to see him dead, not now. He let out a deep breath and leaned back against the chair, pulled his gaze toward the restaurant TV that displayed the image of a famous musician. Though, Femi's gaze was on the TV but his mind was faraway from reality.

He narrowed his eyes toward a beautiful woman that just walked into the restaurant, and he was consumed with anger. Femi couldn't help but stared at Ajoke as she walked toward a handsome young man who stood up from his table to embrace her. Femi felt like confronting her but he control himself, after all there was nothing between them anymore. Ajoke had made it clear to him at the police station.

He remembered the good old days when he first met Ajoke, and lowered his head in pain. He felt betrayed and heart broken. How could things turned out this way? A woman he loved and cared for when things were good, turned him dawn for another man because he had money. He let the thought out of his mind. This isn't the time, he thought. If he survive the challenges around him, he would deal with Ajoke in the best way that she deserves. But for now, to him, Ajoke is dead.

He stared at his remaining food, then picked the glass of water to his lips and pulled himself up, walking toward the front door of the restaurant. He could not help but stared at Ajoke once again before stepping out, but Ajoke did not notice him.

Femi walked toward the bus stop to meet up with the bus that was almost filled when everything suddenly changed around him.

At first, he couldn't see anything, he was in a total darkness, and Femi was afraid. What is going on? Is he blind? He thought, and fought his way through the darkness, screaming for help but he could hear no sound around him.

Suddenly there came a bright light and Femi widened his eyes in disbelief. How come? He wondered where he was and pulled his gaze around. What is happening? Fear gripped his heart as he saw nobody around the place. Everything around him were made of real gold. Every houses, cars, and even the roads were of real gold.

"Welcome to Paradise, on earth."

Femi turned toward the voice to see a very tall man in black garment, about 13ft tall. "Paradise? I'm I dead?"

"You're very much alive," the man answered.

Femi stared around the place and back to the man. "If this place is paradise, then who are you?"

"All that doesn't matter." The man took a step forward. "What matters is that you're here, and you will have to do as I say. Now take this and pick as much gold as you can till your days here are over." He offered him a big bag.

Femi narrowed eyes. "I was on my way home, and one minute I found myself here. And you believe I will be happy to do that?"

"You have no choice."

"I do." Femi protested.

The man frowned. "Do as I say, and stop being stubborn. It's once in a lifetime opportunity. Do it now before it disappear."

Femi turned around and stared straight forward. There was more than enough gold. Something like a force held him, and before he knew what was happening, he found himself picking the gold into the bag the man gave to him. He forced himself to stop, but the force controlling him was stronger.

"Ah.." A woman among the crowd shook her head in pity. "Who ever has done this to this man will not go unpunished o.."

"Na wah o.."

"This man was okay when he was standing beside me just now o."

"I think we should help him."

The crowd gathered at the bus stop watching Femi as he was misbehaving, picking waste into a polythene bag. Two young boys tried to hold him but Femi ran away before they could lay hands on him.

"Thief! Thief! They want to steal my gold." Femi yelled and ran into a street.

Femi was happily picking any waste he came along, saying things that only him understand.

"Gold, gold, come and see gold o." He jumped into a sticking gutter and sat in it, watching himself with the dirty water flowing through the gutter.

"What has kept you so long?" Daniel asked as he sat back in his chair. "I thought you're not going to come."

Ajoke didn't reply, she just stared at him.

"Do you care for anything?" He asked. "I have a surprise for you."

"The only thing I'm interested in is you coming with me to my apartment." Ajoke's voice held no emotion.

Daniel laughed. "Of course I will," Daniel leaned his head forward and adjust is face cap. "Why are you in a hurry? Look I have a surprise for you. Something that has cost me close to a billion naira. It's a gift from my heart, because you deserve the best."

"This doesn't sound like you." Ajoke studied his face.

"Well, sometimes we made mistakes, and when we realize it, the sweetest thing is to set things right." He smiled and lifted a bottle of soft drink to his lips. "And list I forget, how's our baby?"

Ajoke didn't reply. She stared at him for few seconds to read his thought but couldn't. With the way Femi had been acting lately, he was too good to be true. But people change, she thought.

"What is it you want to show me?" She asked.

"You didn't answer my question."

"What?"

"I asked about the health of our baby."

"She's fine."

"She?" Daniel laughed. "Well, I would prefer a baby boy."

Ajoke managed to laugh. "What's it you wanted to show me?"

"Yeah," Femi got to his feet. "As I said, it's a big surprise. Let's go."

Ajoke pulled herself up and walked behind him out of the restaurant toward his car. Daniel opened the door for her to get in before he dose, and drove out of the place.

"Where are you taking me to?" Ajoke asked as Daniel rolled the car onto the main road.

"We're heading to Lekki." Daniel glanced at her and pulled his gaze toward the road ahead.

Ajoke stared out the window and widened her eyes in disbelief. "Stop the car."

"What?"

"I say stop the car."

Daniel quickly pulled the car to stop at the side of the road. "What's it?"

"That man," she said, staring back through the inner mirror.

"Which man?"

"Reverse the car." She ordered.

Daniel stared back and rolled the car backward, then stopped and stared at the man Ajoke had pointed. "What about him? That's a mad man, do you know him?"

Ajoke stared at Femi silently as he was busy picking waste from the ground, wondering what had happened to him. How come? How could he run mad? Many thoughts went through her mind. For that moment, and for the first time, Ajoke felt responsible. She felt guilty, and tears, rolled down her cheeks.
