Tell me,are we through with the prologue??
OR
We never start self??

Attention everyone!

This events am narrating with my phone and borrowed Mb, were the events that took place within the period of 7months that I first met Joke and the day Jide was slapped by a lady at the beginning of this story. Am sorry for not differentiating it from the beginning.

Just see yourself as a friend that paid me a visit on the day I was cooking spaghetti and you asked me to tell you how I met Nike my girlfriends sister that's paying me a visit very soon.

So technically, am still eating my spaghetti while narrating this to you and I will send you out the moment Nike arrive.
This is Pro-Nike's arrival and not a Prologue.

Had it been it was, Divepen1, larrysun, Marianneada, fiyah, pamelb, chumzypinky, rachealfst or smartestpopqueen that was writing this story, they would have put it in proper understandable context. But since me na one dull science student and also a Bloody Grammar-Killing Amateur Writer,(BLOGRAKAW), I know sabi how to do stuffs like this.

Only Gawd can tell how many writing rules ah don violate while writing this story.

May English language forgive me for all the sins have committed against it.

Please kind-arrogantly bear with this suicidal english and lazy writer of yours.

Dedicated to PamelB, Rachealfst, Smartestpopqueen, and my own sweetheart and Heartrob: chumzypinky the mother of my twins. I love you from earth to Hell and back. You guys are the best.

I will begin to dedicate my next updates to all the people that wished this shangoic writer well on his birthday. Thats a promise.

"oh sh!!!t....I forgot to lock the door!" I cursed silently as I rose up very fast from the bed and staring at me awkwardly from the enterance is Nike, claded in a blue denim jacket and a purple bumshorts.

I didn't know she was home already. Thought she was at the Super Mart with Joke where they ought to be but whats she doing at home right now?

I've restrained my friendship with her to a casual one since I knew her to be suspicious of my relationship with her mum. But apparently this girl is gradually becoming a pest for my farm.

"who's pregnant for you Uncle D?" She marched forward a bit and stopped just inches away from the bed

I was silently nervous and was just staring at her confusedly trying to come up with a very suitable lie to drop at her feet but nothing meaningful was going on inside my head at that moment.

"you don't want to tell me?"
She clamoured jerking me out of my thoughts

"erm....um..." I stuttered and before I could blink, she grabbed my phone from the bed and got busy with it.
"Nike, drop my phone nao" I tried snatching it from her fingers but she was quick enough to elude the phone from me by stepping back a bit

"Uncle D, who's DOS?... Is she your girlfriend?" She inquired staring at me plainly.

DOS is the formular I used in saving Doris number just incase one of her daughters wants to check my phone since Joke is against the idea of us having a passworded relationship, no boundaries between us including our phones

"erm....Nike, please you don't know her....She's a nobody." I replied in an hedging manner

"no...no...no...don't tell me that! Do you know how long have been hearing your voice from the sitting room? Uncle D, I heard everything.....and I mean E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G." She emphasised and handed my phone to me.

"Nike, why are you crying wolf where there's none..? As far as complicated situations go, DOS might be someone irrelevant to you or me. You don't judge people so easily by what you heard or see."

"not this time Uncle D. Have cried wolf about my suspicion of you before but my mum already cleared the air on that and....."

"what do you mean 'cleared the air on that?" I cut in. She sighed and sat down on the bed

"the thing is, I've been monitoring your actions since the day I caught you crawling under my Mum's bed thinking you were after my mum to you know....." I got the subtle message in her last statement and I nodded her to continue. "Moreover when I talked to my mum after you travelled, she told me that she also had no idea that you were in her room on that day and I believed her cos of how she was shocked when I told her that I saw you in her room, precisely under the bed...." My phone rang and she paused and handed my phone to me.
"DOS calling you again."

I was suprised when I saw that it was her mum calling again at that moment... I ignored it and tucked it inside my pocket after placing it on silent

"why aren't you picking it?"

"nothing...just continue what you are saying." I grabbed the plastic chair beside the reading table and settled in it

"You know we never really had the chance to talk on that issue of what exactly you were doing inside her room on that very day. Tell me, what were you doing there?...." I shrugged and she quickly added "and please don't lie."

All through her epistle, I'd been preparing myself for a question like that, so I just cleared my throat and leaned forward fixing my gaze on her beautiful oval face

"firstly, I must say am very happy with the way you've handled this issue right from when you saw me in your mum's room.... Nike, had it been someone else, she would have exposed me to your sister and only gawd knows where I'd be right now if not for your brilliant way of perception. For that I say a very big thank you."

She blushed at my compliment and I was happy my plan was working

"Actually, I was there for something else entirely. One of my younger brothers was very sick at that time and my mum needed money very badly to get him treated. I couldn't bring myself to tell any of you about it because of two candid reasons. First, I was still a guest in your house back then and secondly you guys have really tried alot for me and I see it as overstepping my boundaries if I should impose another problem of mine on you again. Which is why I had to sort it out on my own and apparently in the most regrettable way"

"you did what exactly?" She stated inquisitively

"erm....I was trying to break into your...mum's bedroom to you know....to get some money to treat my sick bro...."

"wait, so you were actually trying to steal from her to treat your brother?" She queried gesturing her hand in a questioning way

"sadly, y...es...and Gawd, I regret it...Nike Gawd bear me witness, I regret it."

"did you succeeded in doing it?" She asked the question I never anticipated but I was able to reply

"again sadly....no... I didn't, your mum came back home at the nick of the time I was about to start ransaking her wardrobe."


She seems to be lost in her own thoughts for some minutes as she buried her head in her palms and eventually when she did raised up her head, she gave me a soft smile and placed her palm on my laps

"its so obvious that you love your brother very much and hearing you confess to the horrible way you wanted to help him means he's so lucky to have you in his life...." I smiled wryly at her complicated compliment and she continued. "but next time, all you have to do is Mathew 7:7 from any of us and we would have gladly helped you." She ended with a mild tone of finality

"what do you mean Mathew 7:7 from you?"

"don't tell me you don't know that verse in the bible."

'how can she expect me to know that? The bible wasn't included in the list of books required to gain admission into GLOCOTEL, Global College of Thunder and Lightening, so she should just spare me the ambiguous statement'.

"you know am not a fan of that strange book from the greeks, so just be more literal please."

"hmmm... Uncle anti-bible, Mathew 7:7 means, Ask, and it shall be given unto you...so all you have to do next time is just simple." She concluded withdrawing her palms from my laps

"I know that now.....and I promise never to ever, and ever to never do that again."

"promise?"

"yes... Nike, you can absolutely count on it."

"Fine, that been said, now tell me, who's the pregnant lady?" Her face was now featuring seriousness and I was totally caught offguard with the direction she just nudged the discussion and the situation become a bit tensed

"like I said earlier Nike, its not...." I was interrupted by Joke's immediate and unexpected entry into the room.

"why didn't you tell me you were heading home instead of leaving me all alone at the Mart?" She queried her sister with a slight upset tone. Nike rose up instantly and I did the same as we both stare at the latest intruder.

Nike was nervously silent and thank gawd, I was able to muster up the courage to abate the situation. I walked up to Joke and gave her a tight hug and a soft kiss on the lips. She reciprocated the hug and we disengage after some secs

"how far love?" She didn't respond as she was still staring at Nike perhaps expecting a response from her. "your sister was here telling me about the......" I was still saying when she grabbed her sister and pulled her closer to her

"Nike tell me you haven't told him about the suprise.....you didn't tell him did you?"

"no....no.... I didn't" Nike replied wriggling out of her grip

"what suprise? Nike? What suprise is she talking about?" I queried eagerly shifting my gaze at both of them

Joke heaved a deep sigh and made the sign of cross. "Nike, Gawd save you! I would have killed you right now assuming you told him" She said hitting her sister playfully on the shoulder

"hello! Suprise crews, the person you are talking about is here.... I mean standing in front of you..."

"honey, just calm down...you will know soon enough.... Patience they say is...."

"a great virtue I know that." I completed her mum's usual phrase for her and placed my hands gently on their respective shoulders. "but my dear sisters, not when stucked up in an elevator with a fanatic suicide bomber and moreso have heard those words like countless times so tell me whats the suprise?"

"honey, thats why its called a suprise cos you have to find out unexpectedly."

"so you not telling me?"

"don't work yourself up love. You ll find out soon!" Joke said with a placcid smile and I decided to drop the topic. "so what were you guys talking about before I came in?"

'oh sh!t, can't she just forget that already?' I cussed inwardly before Nike came to the rescue

"I was just about telling him about the guy that died this morning"

"oh! That Poor guy....did Darous also knew him?"

"what guy? Which guy is dead?"

"It was that guy that beat his brother because of ticket when you and I was strolling on the street some weeks ago" Nike explained awfully and I became alerted

"whaaat!" I exclaimed in shock. "Chu...cks? Chucks is dead? Gawd! What killed him?"

"we don't know o, we were on the way to shop this morning when we saw people crying in front of a house. My sister and I got down from the car to check whats going on and thats when I saw his dead body lying on the floor with his Mum wailing uncontrollable beside him." Nike explained with a doloured voice and I was totally dejected

My initial plan was to use him to get to his brother so I can deal with the gang robbers when they least expected but that can't be possible now

I took solace in the fact that there's no use of him anymore because the ganged robbers have stopped bothering me after the Favour issue. They are obviously done with me'. That was my thought after Nike broke the unfortunate and tragic news to me

I went to the freezer after Nike and Joke left the room and took 4 bottles of chilled Goldberg and drank myself to stupor.

Just my own way of mourning another lost spanner from the tool box of Earth.

78. COUNTLESS

Seconds rolled into hours and hours into days, almost 13 weeks have gone since we came back from Lanlate

I had the depth of time to reminisce about my life and came to realise that, half of the problem facing my Wenger is because have been too economical about the root of my problems

The incident that took place one after the other during my 5days stay in Lanlate has arguably been my road to Damascus. If I have to put the blame of my past ordeal on anybody, its a pity that it has to be the person staring at me whenever I look at the mirror. Apparently the root of my problems has been ME! All along, so I need to reshuffle the game of my life and re-tender the cards on the table before I let my wayward life ruin me totally.

Staying away from Beatrice has been the easiest card of all game because it was as if she'd vanished into thin air after she set me up with the late Beauty and Pretty some weeks ago. May their ugly souls Rest in Peace

Chioma's number has always been unreachable anytime I called her. Not for sexual reasons but just to inform her of my new decision about my life so she can also give my d!ck a break

A lot must be on your mind right now, you are probably wondering how my relationship with Joke, Doris, and Nike had been, but just chillax, am still coming to that

Despite my determination, have failed woefully in one aspect, and thats my relationship with Doris. I told her the 3rd day after my return from my home town that I want us to stop the Male making sexual affair . I based my excuse on my relationship with Joke, telling her that it goes against everything moral for me to be screwing her and her daughter at the same time but she would have none of that

"Doris, even if we continue having sex and we succeeded in getting you pregnant, how will you explain to your daughters about the source of your pregnancy?" I asked her during one of our talks at home while Joke and Nike was at the Super Mart

"don't worry about that dear, just lets establish the pregnancy first, then you will see how I'll handle my daughters."

She had perfectly maneuvered her way out of my last cunning resort of making her see reasons to why we should stop the affair.
After the 6th attempt on the issue, she succeeded in convincing me to continue working for her A.P.C at the detriment of Joke's P.D.P

So Doris and I have been forking eachother's brain out at the slightest opportunity that presented itself. Either at home during the absence of her daughters or at a hotel booked by her or a motel

I had no problem with money atall, Doris made sure of that and thats arguably one of the reasons why I decided to continue the complicated affairs with her

Adedoyin was still at my neck. She's always calling me everyday to plead with me to come back to her, telling me how difficult life has been for her without me but shango has been my strenght in that aspect also

I don't know what exactly she wants from me. Its not as if am giving her any money after sex, the reverse is the case cos she'd been the one paying me.

I've always made it clear to her whenever she called that, even if she's the only option I had at making heaven, I'll rather become the devil's best companion in hell than spend a single second in heaven because of her

"Darous, is that how much you hate me?" She cried out during one of our conversations on phone

"hate? Thats not hatred my dear Doyin....you seriously don't expect me to continue this Samson and Delilah relationship with you after you nearly delivered my Samson into the cruel hands of the Philistines....please just let my......"

"I know you are still angry at me for that issue, but I already beg you multiple times to give me the chance to make it up to you....please...." She stressed out with a cool and amorous voice

I nearly fall for her smoodged words as I began to envisage having my d!ck back inside her warm wet hole, to feel the touch of her magic tongue around the shaft of my d!ck but a quick reflect on how I'd suffered while trying to extricate myself from her death jinx some weeks ago helped me to remain unyielding in my determination

'I rebuke every power of suicide pussee that might want to disrupt our life again in thunder's name!' My Madrid conscience prayed fervently for me during the call

"Dear...say something nao..." She cuts into my thought amid sniffing sounds "you mean alot to me Daro....."

"Doyin, have you been wearing some A.T.P after our break up?"

"whats that? What ATP?"

"I mean have you been wearing Anti-Thunder Pants?"

"whats the meaning of that again? Darous why?...."
"Adedoyin you've been disturbing me countlessly after we both agreed that thunder should strike your asshole if you ever disturb me again, and unless you've been wearing that ATP type of pant, thunder suppose to have located your asshole a long time ago...." I dropped that nonchallantly like a bombshell. I feel absolutely no remorse after saying those words to someone thats practically 8years younger than my mum.

There was silence at the other end of the phone for some minutes before she spoke again

"Darous you ll regret this.... I promise you that with my life!" She declared firmly

"is that a threat? Doyin, are you threatening me now?"

"am not threatening you....but am just telling you what will happen if you don't come back to me." She ended the call before I could say anything again.

Couldn't careless about her farce threat cos I was ecstatic of the fact that I atleast succeeded in breaking us up.

All this while, Jide still avoided me like a plague! He doesn't pick my calls, even when I checked on him at our lodge just to iron things out maturely, he still refused to open the door for me talkless of seeing me. I tried severally again but was met with the same result

Our mutual friend Abel has opened a new Stylist shop barely 3days after we got back from my home town and it was during one of my visit to his shop that he urged me to let Jide be for sometime, assuring me that Jide will definitely come to his senses when he later realize how childish he's been behaving recently

Now to the issue of Joke, am happy to tell you that Joke and I have developed a special type of bond between us since I came back, even though she was oblivious to the fact that I've been screwing her mum under the same roof but I can't boastfully say the same about Nike, her sister. That girl is too observant. I told Doris about the danger she posed to our relationship and she promised to take care of her

3 months have passed since Doris and I have been forking each other before Joke started noticing some changes in the appearance of her mum. Doris now sleeps at the slightest provocation from a cool breeze, she's grown a bit robust. Infact all her appearance have changed.

"mum, have noticed something is going on with you this days. Tell me what is it mum?" Joke queried her sleepy mum during one of our usual T.v after dinner routine. Nike already excused herself to her room after bidding the three of us goodnights.

"my dear, don't worry about me, am fiiiinnneeee...." She drawled and yawned twice consecutively.

"mum you are not fine o, you sleep often this days, and you're always complaining of tiredness, are you alright? Should I call the doctor to come and check on you?"

I listened attentively at their conversation while my eyes was focused on the T.v.

"I already spoke with Doctor Marianne, and she said I'm perfectly fine. I just need to rest very well and I'll be very fine dear." She stated convincingly and Joke was left with no choice than to drop the topic

Doris called my phone one fateful afternoon and told me the latest breaking news. I just came back from the viewing centre located in their street after watching the highlights of the Champions league final match of a fortnight ago where Juventus demolished R.madrid with 2 unreplied goals. I was relaxing on the bed in my room when her call entered my phone

"Dear, guess what?" She said excitedly after I picked the call

"seriously, I don't have the talent for that....just bail me out and tell me whats trending."

"hmmm....its a pity that all that handsome and well built body has been for nothing! I just pray my baby doesn't take after your brain." She teased

"is that an insult?" I said feigning an angry tone

"not an insult o, but its a wishful wish my dear...."

"ok o....am I free to end the call now?"

"not until I tell you the goooooood news o!"

"aiit, am all ears".

She was silent for a few moments before she spoke up

"Darous am 4 months pregnant!" She declared excitedly

"wow! Am happy for you o!....But wait, thats expected nao, tell me whats more? cos your excitement overule that news"

"you are right! Doctor Marianne told me to expect a....Darous am so happy right now! It still felt like a dream!"

"talk Doris, to expect what?" I said avidly rising from the bed when I couldn't bear the suspence any longer

"a male twins!! Wow!!!" with the way she sounded from the other end of the phone, its obvious that she's very very excited

"Really!!!" I screamed out loud "wow!! This is amazing!! Best news of the year by miles!"

"We shall celebrate it together this weekend. Just pick any place of your choice ok?"

"will do that right away dear."

"thanks for making my dream come true Darous"

"thanks you too for getting pregnant". She chuckled and ended the call

I placed the phone excitedly on the bed and laid with my back on the bed

"wow! She's pregnant atlast!" I stated amid smiles and giggling

"who is pregnant?" A feminine voice echoed from the door.

dedicated to Me, Myself and I as I embark on another endless 365 cycle of my life.


"What tha Hell!" That was the sound that subconcsiously escaped my lips when I turned around swiftly and saw a dane gun pointed at my handsome face by an elderly man claded in a brown khaki uniform with the word 'VIGILANTÈ' inscribed on the chest. An headlamp was straped on his forehead

"kneel down there! You this thief! Gawd don catch you today!" He snarled and moved closer to me as I quickly oblidged trembling with fear

His facial expression already pronounced trouble for me. He must be the vigilantè entrusted with the safety of this area

"baba, am not a thief o, am...."

"dake nbe! (keep quiet!)." The man curts in loudly in the local dialect and the sound was enough to wake up the entire neighbourhood. "Talo ni ko soro? (who ask you to talk?)." He pointed his gun at my nose and pretended as if to pull the trigger and blow my head off.
"you are definitely one of the thieves that's been terrorizing this area! Gawd don catch you today." He declared with a wacky look and began ransacking my pockets. "where's your gun? Eh, your weapon? Where did you keep it?"

"gun? I don't have any gun please....this is a mistake sir....am not a thief, baba am just coming from...."

"shut up! Shut up!!." he curts in. "you are not a thief? I just caught you trying to rob this container and you say you are not a thief? Eh? What did your time says? Check the time!"

Still on my trembling knees, I checked my phone and saw the time. I looked at him and told him what it says
"its quater past 4 sir..." He smirked and confirmed it on his watch

"quater past 4 you say? You are a bloody liar!"

"baba am not lying, thats the time....."

"keep quiet! I just checked the time here and it says quater past 3. You are a liar and anybody that lies is a THIEF!"

"ah! Thats a lie sir."

"What? so am also a thief?" He questioned angrily

"no sir, but Past 3 ke? Baba your watch is not corr..."

"one more word from you and gawd help me if I don't blow your head off!" He threatened in the local dialect again with a straight face. I was mute immediately and bent my body in a slumped posture

'How can this man say the time is 3:15, when in actual reality its 4:15? What GMT is he using? Ghana? Togo or Burkinafaso? Is he trying to manipulate the weather to suit his accusations?

"if you don't confess to what you are doing beside this container by this time of the day," His baritone voice cuts into my thoughts and I look up at him. "see, when it is 5:30, I'll call the chairman to come and take you to station..."

"baba, why won't you listen to me? Am not a thief, am just a victim of circumstances here baba, I swear in the name of...."


"by the time I shoot your right hand and knee, you will tell me why you want to rob this shop." He stated pointing his left hand at the container while his right hand was firmly holding the gun

I pleaded on and on but he wasn't ready to listen to anything I say. He was very obstinate in his decision to torture me till I confess to being a thief. I was trembling and totally stiffened with fear

Scared that just a little squeeze made on the trigger could terminate my contract on earth, I quickly dialed the 911 of shango and an elusive trick teleported its way into my congested mind

I glanced around and saw a long black pipe adjacent the back of the container. A look at his stubborn face urged me to try my luck and I screamed 'Snake! Snake!!' loudly and he turned around abruptly, reached for his headlamp and switch it on as he began scrutinizing the ground with his gun firmly held in his hands

"where is it! Where is the snake?" He questioned while backing me and still looking around pointing his gun randomly at the floor

Seeing the opportunity that just presented itself to me, I rose up swiftly and took to my heels towards the path Jide and I was threading some minutes ago

The old man, probably realising that I just played an APC of Change on his Nigeria, started shouting 'THIEF!' and I became more aware of the danger I just got myself into when few men started opening their respective house's front doors and joined him in the hot pursuit

I ran blindly as my legs could carry me for some distance till I saw Jide at a few distance ahead of me on the tarred road.
The sound made by my foot stamp on the road must have gotten his attention as he paused and glanced back hurriedly and without hesitating, he also took to his heels before I reach him and I wasted no time in following his lead

We got to the end of the road and was totally disappointed when we saw that it linked to a tall barb-wire fence. A thick bush aligned with the fence by the right hand side while the left was another tall and close fence

"oh! Sh!t" Jide cursed hitting his fist on the wall.

"how can this road end like this? Stupid road and architect!" I lamented after catching my breath.

There's no other way out of this unless we head back to where we came from and that seems too risky as the people pursuing us might still be on our trail.

"ah! Ah don suffer today! And na you ah....."

"guy silence abeg!" Jide cuts in and we both listened keenly as the noises made by the men pursuing us died down a bit and I feel a bit relaxed. 'They must have lost our track and have headed back to their homes'. I thought

"so Jide...what next?"

He brushed past me to the left hand side probably to look for an escape route.
"you are not asking me that are you?" I nodded my head affirmatively. "then you be fool! You got me into this mess! So you better find a way for us to get out of here before I pounce on you."

"don't think you can scare me, if you try any rubbish here like the one you did at home, I swear ah go beat Ajax out of your europa league....." He eyed me dejectedly and leaned over the fence. "and why shouldn't I ask you? You were headed this way before I joined you so I guess you know this city more than I do....." He seems unperturbed by my statement so I quickly added. "by the way you have a lot of explanations to give....."

"hey dude, look here, I owe you nothing....you hear? Nothing! Get that into your thick canine skull!" He stated with gritted teeth

"You owe me nothing? Then care to tell me where you are coming from at this hour? And where you are headed to? Because it seems to me that you know this place more than I do! " I queried with a raised eyebrow

He surveyed the fence and paced frantically around for some secs before he spoke up.
"last time I check, you are still a backbitting friend and not my Dad or elder brother....so I don't owe you any debrief about my life!"

I moved closer to him and held him by his polo's collar. His face was now at a Chelsea versus Arsenal with mine.
"you are right, but then I began to think, where were you coming from when you came inside the room yesterday morning eh?" He was silent. "You were at the brothel right? Thats how you knew that I was with Favour, isn't it?". He was taken aback with my accusation and wriggled himself out of my grip

"what if I was at the brothel? Are you the only one that got to enjoy himself after an hectic friday?" He questioned rhetorically after feigning a resilient look

"no dude...but where did you get the money to carry olosho? I don't remember you having any money with you and....."

"I seriously don't have to explain anything to you Darous....so lets just focus on how to get out of this mess you brought me into before it gets any worse than this."


"hmmmmm." I pondered on his words for some secs and decided to let it go for now. I wanted to query him why he bought into my lie of attending a Vigil in the first place when he already knew where I was but I figured that I can always ask him that after we sort ourselves out of this present situation

"Jide, don't think for one secs that this is over, am not gullible and I can sense that you are hiding something from me....but thats for later, you hear?." He gave me a 'suit yourself' look and began walking towards the route we came from. I followed him and was simultaneously searching around the area to see if the vigilantè or the men were still lurking around

We got to the main road enroute the one we plied before and we could hear the discussing voices of the old man and the few people that joined him at a few distance ahead of us. 'oh sh!t!' I cursed audibly

"calm down!"
Jide said. We stopped and searched frantically around as the noises drew closer to us.
"lets dodge inside this house...hurry up" Jide said pointing to an uncompleted building beside the road. I was still glancing around sluggishly when he quickly pulled me by my arms and dragged me inside.

We got inside the house and hide ourselves at the secluded part of it

Few hours after, it was already past 7.am and the street was starting to get busy. I was already asleep inside the building when Jide woke me up and inform me that its time to leave. We managed to find our way to Mr Ifa's house discreetly.

We got home and I informed Mr Ifa that we are leaving for Abk before noon. He gave me some mixed concortions to leak for 21days.

I thanked him and gave Bukky and her Mum some money.

I dialed Joke's number to tell her that am coming back to Abk but it wasn't reachable. I also called Jessica to inform her of my departure. She wasn't that happy but wished me a safe journey.

Jide avoided me like a plague throughout our preparation to return to Abeokuta.

Is Jide a Friend or a Foe? Next update(s) will definitely unfold that.
