We finally arrived at Amaka's place after my common sense had instructed me to call mum.

Amaka was fast asleep when I arrived. Seeing her sleeping almost got me mad but again I just couldn't, instead I felt like kissing �her on the cheek and that I did. She turned and faced me.

"hey! When did you come in?" She asked robbing her face with the back of her hand.

I sat beside her, adjusted myself and said in a low pathetic tone.

"you left me stranded"

She sat up and held my hand.

" am sorry dear, you should understand that my business owns me. I am going to make it up to you somehow". She said and pecked my cheek. " have you eaten?''. She asked.

" no" I replied.

"okay, go and meet the nanny in her room and tell her to fix you something. I need to sleep baby" she said and laid back.

I wanted to say something but I kept quiet and quietly went to locate the nanny's room.

I opened the door without knocking and saw the most sexy body I had ever seen. She was coming out of the bathroom naked when I walked in.

She immediately covered herself up with a towel hanging on the door.

"who are you?!" She yelled.

" am sorry. I am your madam's friend". I said looking behind me.

" its okay, you can turn over now" she said.

She was looking so beautiful. The dark version of Beyonce with Amber Rose's hight and physique. The towel couldn't conceal her voluptuousness, it was evidently bulging.

" what can I do for you?" She asked.

"I ... I want you... I mean I want you to get me something to eat" I manage to eat". I stammered.

She smiled and said in a sexy tone.

" okay sir. What would you like to eat?"

"anything" I replied.

"okay sir, I'll be with you soon. Please let me dress up".

It was then I realised was looking lustfully at her.

" okay. I am down stairs". I said and left the room.

I noticed my bleeping rod was evidently seen. I felt embarrassed but ignored it and went to wait in the dining table downstairs in the kitchen.

The nanny came to kitchen in a red maternity gown that reached her ankle, Yet her shape was still evident.

" you are new". I asked.

" yes sir" she said, going to refrigerator.

" you are beautiful" I said, standing to face her.

She hid her face and carried the frozen food to the microwave.

" did you hear what I said?" I asked smiling.

She nodded and said.

" thank you sir".

I could see her round buttocks from her shapeless gown bouncing as she moves around. My whole body craved to hold her and make love to her but I fought the urge and my standing rod.

She hid her face and stood facing the microwave, backing me.

I walked to her and held her waist from behind. She shook in shock and tried to move away from me, but my grip was too strong for her to break from.

"please sir. I don't like this, let me go!" She said struggling with my grip.

I then realized I was doing a wrong thing so I released my grip and she moved far away from me.

"am sorry. Am really sorry! I don't know what came over me". I said.

She kept quiet and hid her face.

The food got ready, she quickly dished my food and was about leaving when I held her hand. She looked startled.

" am sorry" I said looking into her eyes.

"its okay sir. You are not the first". She said pulling her hand off my grip.

" what's your name?" I asked.

"Maryjane" she said.

" Mary" I called.

She looked at me expectantly.

"your beauty can make a man misbehave" I said smiling.

She blushed and went upstairs. While I looked lustfully at her.

I was at the hotel almost in no time. And i waited my butt out for Amaka, called her but she wasn't picking up , that made me very pissed and raged. My phone continued to bang, calls from Jacky and co but i refused to pickup.

It was almost 7 pm, i had been waiting for 4 hours already. I was so pissed and was about leaving when someone called me from from behind.

"hey brother!"

i turned and saw a guy in his early twenties walking hastily pointing at something on the floor. I turned but saw nothing.

"is this money not yours?" he said picking something on my feet.

When he stood up he was holding 100 bucks note.i looked at it in surprise.

"i saw it fall from your pocket" he said handing the note over to me.

"am sorry, i dont think its mine".i said moving away from the note.

"are you sure you dont want to take it?" the boy seemed shocked.

"keep it" i said and immediately started heading for the hotel exit .

i stopped a taxi and entered.my mind was so mixed up with lots of emotions, especially anger.

"money boss" the driver said.

i reached for my wallet and couldn't find it. I was not sure it was missing , so i checked myself over and over again.

"boss, my money please" the driver said.

i then dipped my hand in my small jean pocket and found 150 bucks i hid there for no reason.from there i gave the taxi man a 100 bucks and had 50 bucks left.

The man drove off, i still had a journey of 100 bucks to take me home. So, i tried Amaka's number again. This time she picked.

" what have you done?!" i backed into the phone.

"Mike! dont yell at me please!" she yelled.

I immediately called myself to order.

"sweetie, you left me stranded" i muttered pathetically.

"am sorry love, where are you now?" she asked casually.

" at bank road" i said almost in tears.

" okay, i'll send my driver to come and pick you up soon" she said and hung up.

i was surprised. no apologies, no remorse. I immediately broke into tears like a girl. Even i was surprise at this side of me. i would have channeled it to anger and beat up some one, now am acting all sisi.

I waited in anger and clouded emotion for Amaka"s driver. Then suddenly a Volvo car drove pass and packed in front. I looked at the car suspiciously, it it blew a horn, that was when i recognized the car packed at Amaka's house.

we drove silently home, then suddenly the car started jerking.

"what is the problem? " i asked.

"i dont know oh..lemme park and check" the driver said.

He parked at a side of the road, came down and opened the bonnet. It was already dark, and few passersby were seen and cars driving off in speed on the high way.

" whats it?" i asked looking from behind the drivers shoulder.

" i think the plug is bad" he said fumbling with the engine.

" plug? do you any extra in the trunk?" i asked hoping he has a solution.

He turned his sweaty face to me and said.

" i dont!"

" what do we do now?"

" we walk home, its dangerous here" he said.

I scratched my head in frustration while the driver wrapped up what he was doing.

We were on our way home on foot when a big bus stopped in front of us for passengers to alight.

" let's catch up!" the driver said and started running towards the bus.

i looked at the smallish man running so fast i could barely believe my eyes. When i caught myself i followed up his pace and we were in the bus heading home.

" like i was saying"

came a voice from a fat man putting on an undersized t shirt with a bulky stomach bulging out from under was standing in the middle of the bus with a bottle of contortion in one hand while the other held the rail.

" this medicine can cure, anything you can think of, whatsoever it is, just take it. i was outside the country to sell this drug last week, people bought it and ordered for plenty. I was surprise when a blind man regained his sight with this drug. Believe me, it's a wonder working drug. Even if a person is born crippled, take two shots daily and see what will happen. Dont wory, it has no side effect. TYou can take it if you are barren, even if an arm is longer or shorter, i promise you, it will be repaired. If you want a figure 8, for the ladies, take 4 shots daily, and see how your fat will burn down, i tell, believe me and buy one bottle. I promise you, you are going to come looking for me. HIV aids has been cured by this medicine. i am telling you the truth...."

I looked at the shapeless man talking about shape. i took my mind off him and focused on the road ahead of me.

" your money!" came the conductor in a husky voice.

" how much is it?' i asked .

" 200!" he said.

My eyes bulged out and my mouth dropped.

" 200?! how much is a taxi!" i yelled.

" dont mind him, its 50 bucks" said the driver seated beside me.

" won't you mind your business? if mugu fall we chop!"he said and collected the money from the driver while i took my time to fetch mine.

" please ... somebody should buy this medicine from me. i have family at home, please pity me and buy" the fat man said almost in tears.

Nobody showed concern as they all mind their business.

" brother" the fat man called towards me." please na, buy small. i promise you you wont regret it"

I shrugged, coz i had zero amount on me.

" leave that man alone, he sells crap. i bought it once and purged for a week" a man seated behind me said.

" supermen" i greeted.

" blood" they replied simultaneously.

We shook our secret handshake and Jacky started talking in whisper immediately with his hand around my neck.

" blood, why did you disappear? the gang has been on my neck to fetch you. You know you have an unfinished business and you disappeared". he said.

i felt my heart seizing air from flowing freely but i managed to compose myself and act cool.

" blood, you have to broo us in a zanga!" one of the guys shouted from behind me.

"yes, you have to buy us drinks" Jacky said. '' do you have any greens with you?or should i borrow you?'' he asked.

"i do" i said.

" alright, where are you taking us to? we have a lot to discuss". Jacky said still in a whisper

After drinking two bottles and smoking some sticks, i felt slightly relieved. They relayed my next mission and people to go with me. its still about me killing ZIKA. i kept quiet and listened, but i wanted to discuss with Jacky alone to know if there was a way i could avoid it.

While we drank and discussed about other things Amaka called. Immediately nothing mattered anymore. i stood up like there was a spring in my legs.

" hello!hello! where are you?can i come?i need to see you?" i said hastily walking to the joints exit.

" where are you baby?" Amaka replied calmly.

" home. WHERE are you?" i asked walking restlessly

" are you missing me?'" she asked

"for crying out loud! you know am dying!" i said.

She laughed and said.

" okay,come to our rendezvous. i believe you know there?" she asked.

" yes!yes! see me there in a second!" i said joyfully.

She laughed and said.

" please watch out for cars" then she hung up.

i ran off immediately forgetting i had visitors and bills to pay.

"Mike! will you stop that?!" mum shouted ."Ruth what is he talking about?"

"mummy, i dont know oh". she said innocently.

"liar! shut your lying mouth up and speak the truth before i knock off your front teeth". I barked.

"Mike! what is wrong with you?!" mum said and stood intercepted us facing me.

"mum, tell her oh, i am not joking oh!" i shouted.

Ruth suddenly broke into tears but tried to control it still standing where she was looking pathetic at me.

" Mike! when did you become so heartless?!" Mum asked softly.

Someone knocked on the protector.

" hello, i want to buy something"

Mum turned towards him and said.

" am coming please" then she turned to me and said. " Mike don't do anything crazy. Ruth my love, please come in"

Ruth came circumspectly looking and moving away from me. i just had to control myself not to drag and shake the truth out of her.

As soon as mum's customer left Jacky came and stood at the protector.The moment i saw him, i remembered i had something to deal with which i haven't.

" Mike my brother my blood" Jacky said smiling.

Mum looked at me and shook her head in disapproval without Jacky seeing her.

I didn't know what to say. suddenly Jacky's presence had started giving me running stomach.

" blood where have you been? good evening ma".he said hastily immediately he saw mum.

" i took a trip out of town".i said.

Mum gave me a surprise look which interprets " i thought you were at his place"

" come outside bro, we have got stuff to discuss" he said smiling.

i felt completely helpless and my countenance reviled my inner feelings.

So i sluggishly walked out through the gate.

I was surprise to see four other guys standing out of sight beside mum's shop, they looked at me and whispered something within themselves.

I walked to them feeling my palms moist, and heart racing rapidly.

The whole day was like a part of me was missing.i didn't meet mum at home when i got back. so i went to the kitchen to fix myself something to eat.

Four hours later of turning restlessly on the bed. i took up my phone and called Amaka. She wasn't answering. I stood up and walked around the room apprehensively.

I then made up my mind to go downstairs and sit out so i don't bother too much.

I went to mum's shop and mum was surprised to see.

"i had already made up my mind to file for a missing person" she said.

I ignored her and sat on a stool close to the back entrance to the shop.

"where have you been young man" mum said, sounding very serious.

Her words seem to be disturbing me, i wanted to stand up and leave without uttering a word, but i managed to mutter.

"i told you to stop disturbing yourself, am a grown man for crying out loud".

"grown man still living with his mum?'' she said sarcastically .

I looked at her in anger and controlled my temper.

"if you call yourself a grown man, then you would'nt switch off your phone and put everyone in high tension". she continued. " your dad has been worried sick because of your disappearance".

i stood up angrily and raged.

"how many time will i tell you i..."

" a grown man!" mum helped me finish my statement. "i have heard that a lot of late, but haven't seen it in your character".she looked at me silently for a while then said." will you seat down there?! grown man"

I looked at her and hesitated a little before i sat.

I was going to say something in anger when Ruth walked in. she was shocked to see me and almost turn abruptly but was stopped by my mum's call.

"where is the stuff you took under my bed?" i asked aggressively standing up to face her.

She moved backwards to avoid any impetuous move from me.

"where the hell is my stuff you took?!" i said approaching her ominously

Yet mum persisted because she wanted me to help her with some chores, i had to switch off my phone so i can spend every second loving Amaka.

I ended up spending two weeks with Amaka in a hotel out of the state. Throughout our stay, it was sex upon sex. I couldnt let her leave my sight a second, i just cant stand not seeing her for a minute. I followed her everywhere she went to. She had to beg me each time she want to use the toilet not to come in. of which i stayed at the door of the toilet enjoying the smell from her poo.

I completely switched off my phone and forgot about everything and everyone. The only thing that mattered to me was to love Amaka. I enjoyed running errands for her, in fact,i felt it was my way of pleasing her. And nothing gives me joy like seeing her satisfied.

"baby, i need to go back to work.Its been two weeks since i last checked whats going on in my business. Please baby, lets end the holiday". She said and made a frowning face.

I felt an arrow pierce through my heart, i didnt want this moment to ever end. So i said.

"can i move in with you? can i follow you to work everyday?"

" you can move in with me, but you cant follow me to work everyday" she said in a plain tone.

" but why?!" i asked like a child denied his favorite toy " you know i love you, why do you want to hurt me?" i said not believing i was the one saying these words to Amaka.

She hugged me and kissed my forehead.

"sweetie, i know you love me, and i love you too. Dont worry, we are going to make it work okay?" she said.

i nodded. and we started kissing which led to an emotional sex rump.

On our way back, we stopped at a gas station to get a refill.I was at the passenger side of the front seat. Suddenly i turned and saw a very beautiful lady in a black mini skirt revealing her fresh and full thighs,a pink spaghetti top, that revealed her flat tummy and fine hip. She was also filling her fuel tank on the our adjacent. My heart sunk immediately as i stared. To my greatest surprise, she was Sandra.

" oh my gosh!" i screamed.

I automatically opened the car and stepped down. I was about calling her name when AMAKA said.

" baby where are you going to?''

As i saw Amaka's face, i just realized that Amaka is the finest woman on earth,and that instant i forgot i even saw any other girl, let alone seeing Sandra.And so we drove off with me singing a love song to her hearing.

I woke up the next day completely drained. I turned to my side to find Amaka fast asleep. I looked at her peaceful beautiful face and couldn't stop looking. "why haven't i seen her before?" was the thought racing in my head. That minute all i could think of was to kiss her. And i was about to when she woke up and looked up to, on seeing me her face glowed in a pretty smile, the finest in the world. I wanted to say good morning but ended up saying " i love you baby", with my heart beating so fast. She smiled and kissed me on the lips.

"how was your night my sugar". she asked.

"my night got better since i realized you are the light in night". I said, meaning every word i said.

She blushed and kissed me again. Then she said.

" have you made up your mind where you want us to visit?"

"i didn't even give it a thought, all i care about right now is to be with you". i said and started kissing her neck.

She moved a way smiling.

"if i allow you now, you'd eat me raw" she said standing up from the bed." lemme fix us some coffee".

i watched her put on a night gown and walked out of the room looking at me with a sexy smile on her face. As soon as she left, i started thinking of ways to blow her mind, ways to love her, ways to satisfy her. I jumped off the bed with much vigor and ample excitement, went straight to my phone and opened the note.Then began typing romantic things i'd do for her as my day list. This task took away all my worries and even the though of going home from me.

I was on it when she walked in. Immediately i hid the phone as though i was on to a suspicious shenanigan.

"what are you up baby"she said as she walked in with a mug and a jog in both hands.

" nothing!" i retorted.

" i see" she said smiling."you are sending one of your numerous girl friends a message right?"

" no! i said " look! i was only planning ways to blow your mind every second today" i said showing the phone to her like a child defending himself.

She dropped the things she carried and took the phone from me. After a brief second she started smiling. Then she said.

" i cant wait baby" handing the phone over to me.

Mum called couple of times that day to know if i was coming home. I told her that i was going to spend the week with a friend.

We drove straight to her house. She was so excited that she showed me her girly and childish side on our way. I was too intense to return her gesture but she cared less and continued her garrulous spray.

We arrived her place and she took me straight to her room. I noticed that the kids were around but they didn’t see me come in.

She offered me a bottle of whisky and a glass, and then asked if I was hungry, I nodded a no. then she left the room leaving me to knock myself out with what she offered.

I helped myself okay, and put on the TV, but my mind was barely there. I gulped in couple of times and felt slightly better as the drink went down my throat.

“This is a big mess I am now in”. I said aloud.

I who detested cultism am now a member of one of the dreaded cult gangs known for recording deaths every week. I remembered an event on TV of a young man who was beheaded after been dragged by a car on a long journey. He was a member of my new gang. And also a case of a student who was brutally murdered with several dagger stabs. That was the job of my new gang. Today I almost killed a man, I was going to become a murderer .These thoughts tortured my mind and drained me each second.

Amaka walked in with a plate of fried meat .she dropped it in front of me smiling. I returned the smile, but a forced one.

“You lost a lot of weight mike. What is going on? Have you been on a sex rampage? ‘She asked with a note of concern that her smiley face betrayed.

“I wish” I replied with a forced grin.

She sat beside me, took one of the meats and put in my mouth. I opened up and crunched into it. The taste was so good that I chewed hungrily. She smiled as she watched me eat.
She fed me the meat and drink. And wiped my mouth as I enjoyed the scrumptious meal. She suddenly looked so beautiful and attractive in my eyes. I blamed it on the alcohol and continued my meal.

Eventually I was done; she took the plate, stood up and said.

“Do you care for more? I see you loved it”.

I didn’t know if to say no or yes, so she left without waiting for my reply and was back with another full plate of meat. I ate until my teeth ached and my stomach full.

“Do you want to sleep?” she asked the moment I was done.

“ I feel tired” I said.

“I know, I see it in your eyes”. She said. “lie down and sleep dear”.

I lay on my side backing her. She leaned closer and kissed me on the neck, held me from behind resting her boobs very close to me.

I slept off almost immediately and woke up when my phone rang. I took up the phone in sleepy eyes. It was from mum, I knew she must be worried about my where about.

“Hello mum”. I said.

“Where are you this boy?!”She retorted.

“Mum I am fine! I told you not to worry about me much; I am no longer a kid!”. I said.
“And stop behaving like one!” she replied angrily “don’t you know you ought to have called to let me know you were not coming home?”

“Am sorry mum. I slept off.”I said

“Sorry for yourself!” she barked and hung up.

Just then Amaka came out of the bathroom with towel on her chest. She was looking so sexy and inviting. “Am I hypnotized?” was what I thought. Perhaps she had used some voodoo thing on me, hence the reason for her coming over to my place. Would it be that there was something in the meat? All these thoughts clouded my mind as I watched her sexily walked towards me smiling.

She came closer and sat on the bed beside me. I said nothing but kept a fixed stare.

She took her lotion and gave it to me.” Could you please help me on my back?”

I took it from her and applied it on her back. She loosened her white towel and allowed it drop to her waist still covering her beast with it.

“Lower please”. She whispered sexily.

I lowered it and was done. She took the lotion from me and started applying it on her thighs. I sat back watching her and but my bleeping rod was fast asleep.

She stood up and held the towel up her thighs almost reveling her lower buttocks. I just stared without a word . She looked at me and smiled sexily and went into her big wade rope that is as big as a room and came out few minutes later in a pink g-string and a net see-through black top that barely covered her full buttocks.

This time my bleeping rod started nodding its approval, but i said nothing. She came to me and kissed my closed lips. I just stared, confused on what to do. She held my hand, placed it on her full wrapped boobs and kissed me intensively, this time I responded. She pulled my head to her neck, moaning erotically even before I started kissing.

Then she abruptly took off her top and forced my head to her boobs. I sucked as though I was hypnotized. In my head I was yet to grasp what was happing to me. It seemed as though I was no longer in control but bending to herm sudden attractiveness.

She pushed me down aggressively on the bed, climbed from my body and sat on my face. Surprisingly I sucked and licked as if my life depended on it.

After a while of prolonged feasting, she moved down through my body, pulled down my trouser and put my weak rod in her mouth.

After a long suck, the rod refused to get hard. She did all she knows, but it remained adamant. She looked at me with disappointment.

“What’s happening mike?” she asked.

I just shrugged and said nothing.

“Come and finger me” she said and laid on the bed.

I stood up almost automatically like a robot, and did as she commanded. My inner man felt trapped as it crave to break free while my outer man obeyed her like a zombie and started finding her attractive.

My fingers rammed her hard and my lips did the clit licking simultaneously, yet my bleeping rod still remained sleepy. Eventually she orgasm hard pressing my hand and head together with her thighs.
She held herself together as she breathed heavily. I lay beside her with an aching finger. Then she turned to face me. Something happened. Amaka’s face was the most beautiful face in the world, just as her body was when I looked at her earlier.

“Hello handsome” she said smiling and touching my face. “Your finger is as good as your rod”. She added still smiling.

I couldn’t understand what was happening to me. I wanted to tell her she looked so beautiful but I held it with great effort. As she continued looking at me, I felt my heart beating fast. “ I think am falling in love” I thought out loud unknowingly.

“What did you say?”She asked.

I said nothing. My heart raced in a very high speed and all I wanted to do is to kiss her and make sweet love to her. Suddenly, my bleeping rod sprang up with great rigidity. I didn’t know when I gave in to my lust.

Amaka was waiting in front of my house inside her Nissan car. I spotted her and entered the front seat.

"i was about calling before you came" she said the moment i shot the door.

" am good. how is my boy?" i asked

she didnt answer and went on.

"i wanted to see you. am lonely".

i thought this to be my get away plan so i said.

"lets take a long holiday away from town".

she looked surprised, and then a very wide grin spread on her face.

The thug guy was no where to be found. I ran looking behind my back.Took a bike and rode to Jacky's house.

The bullet hit him on his shoulder, and it was being operated on when i came in. A guy rushed me and held me on my shirt.

"you fool! why didnt you hit the target?''

"get off him!"Jacky said pushing the guy off me. " He did well for a first timer. How was your first kill, i remember you chickened out like a girl".

The guy, shamefully went away and focused on the guy being treated.

Grand commander came in, and everyone stood up.

" how is he?" The grand commander asked.

" he will survive". said the doctor.

"where is Bokonu?" the grand commander asked.

"we have not seen him yet". Jacky replied.

"is he okay?" the grand commander asked.

"yes he is"Jacky said.

The grand commander walked up to me and said.

"you did well" and he began to us. "brothers.lets not be dismayed. one day is for a chicken, but his master must have him for dinner. we need blood. we need enough of it. ZIKA must go down!"

They all began to cheer and started singing a death song in ZIKA'S name. I began to wonder who is Zika that everyone spoke about. and i needed to get out of this gang. But how do i do it?

"how was i going to get rid off this mess?". i said aloud as i walked home.

The day came for my outing. I felt like hiding in the house throughout that day, until my phone ran around 4. 55 pm. It was Jacky on the line. I ignored it and wanted to switch off my phone when i heard a knock on the door. I went to get it and behold Jacky, the thug guy and a strange other guy with them carrying a backpack.

"hey brother". Jacky said nervously.

I looked at him in complete perplexity.

"why were you not picking up our calls?". The thug guy said. "brother, lets go". He added and they walked away.

I didn't need a prophet to tell me to follow them. We took a cab and stopped at a local joint to drink. The new guy opened the backpack and the thug guy took the bag from him and handed it over to me and said.

"look inside".

I did and found three guns and looked away abruptly.

"take one of it". he commanded.

I hesitated , then looked around if anyone was looking.

" blood, dont worry. This place is our doc". The new guy said.

"take it!". The thugguy said.

I did and looked at it carefully.

"do you know how to use it?". the thug guy asked.

"he does". Jacky said.

"you are to pull the trigger" the thug guy said.

Then they began to drink the local gin served and smoke weed.

few minutes later a guy in blue t shirt on black jean and black boot was walking pass in company of four other rugged looking guys.

" the guy in blue ". Jacky nudged me and said in a whisper.

I looked at him with the expression of " what should i do?".

" take him out you slowpoke!" the thug guy barked.

i reached for the revolver pistol with a tremulous hand and stood up. i followed them some few steps before pointing at the guy in blue and said in my heart " for my family" before squeezing the trigger. I missed, and they ran.

"go after them you fool". the thug guy screamed.

surprisingly the guys brought out their guns and shot towards us. The thug guy who was screaming ran like wind off the scene. The new guy shot few shots, it was returned and he was hit. i took to my heels and hid behind the local joint. To my SURPRISE, Jacky stood against them shooting. And they ran off leaving one of us hit.

The street was deserted almost immediately. Jacky took up the leader role and called a bike man, who seem to be standing by. He put the new guy on it and sat behind him.

"Mick, locate my house". He said and the bike took off.

I opened the paper and it read. “Blood for blood. Take out ZIKA of the hawk gang”.

I looked surprisingly at the grand commander. He was busy looking at the puzzled faces of us all with a smirk on his face.

After a long silence, he finally said. “I believe its all clear to you all. Any question asks your mentor”.

“Who is my mentor?’’ I asked.

“I am”. Came a voice from behind.

I turned and found Jacky standing behind me. I wondered how long he had stood there. I also noticed some persons behind the rest newbie’s.

“Now you know. Meet him and he will tell you all you need to know. You are dismissed”.

A week passed in a flash. And am yet to make up my mind. Throughout the depressing days, I lingered in sober reflection. ‘Should I get married to Amaka and save myself all these troubles?’ all these are happening because of my insatiable lust. If only I had Sandra on my side , I would have escaped somehow if I let her in this. But I had lost a treasure.

I decided to take a walk to clear my head. I haven’t heard from Ruth since the last time I saw her and I had not bothered to look for her. I had also bothered less of the missing gun, all I think about each minute is that am now a cultist and about to be a murderer.

Few minutes of my moon walk down the road, I was at local bar along my street. I didn’t know when I took a seat there. This spot was the least place I had ever imagined I would seat, but here I was ordering for a bottle of beer.

“ kingkong!” a voice called and a hand rested on my shoulder.

I turned abruptly and found the thug guy standing beside me.

“Bruno! Get me one beer, on him”. He said sitting in front of me.

I looked at him without a word. He had a wide grin on his face as he looked at me. Bruno came with two bottles and two glasses on a tray. He dropped it in front of us and was about to leave.

“are you mad?!” the thug guy barked.” Where is my cigarette?” .

“ I was going to get it sir”. Bruno answered and left.

“you are a strong man. How you took those beating and still walked home beats my imagination. You took care of me and my guys the other day. I like men like you”. The thug guy said opening his drink.

Bruno arrived with a pack of cigarette and left.

“I know you must be wondering how you are going to kill ZIKA, don’t worry, I am with you. We are going to do it together”. The thug guy said. “You live down the street right?” he asked sipping from his glass.

I was about pouring some drinks into my bottle, but stopped at his statement. He laughed when he saw my reaction, then drank from his glass.

“we know….. go and thank Jacky, he really is a friend. He pleaded you be a gang member than be killed”.

I was completely dumfounded, and realized I haven’t said a word since he came. So I forced myself to make my enemy my friend.

“you mean you can help me ki…” Then I paused to look around, just in case someone is eavesdropping. Then I continued when was reassured. “ kill him?”. I said.

He looked at me with a puzzled expression on his face. Then he burst out in a very loud laughter.

“you are going to clean up the mess. You have killed before, why not kill again”. His voice saturated the whole place.

I almost hid my head in shame. But he continued.

“you are now a superman. What are you hiding from? Everybody will know eventually. Your mum, father, siblings, anyone who is anyone on this street!” he said smiling maliciously.

I stood up and made to leave. Then he held my hand. I turned to him abruptly ready for a fight.

“who is going to pay for these drinks?”. He asked .

I shook my hand from him angrily and made to leave but he stopped me again by holding me on my waist belt, stood up and faced me.

“what is wrong with you? Do you want to embarrass your blood? Haven’t you been reading our rules book? It’s an offense to disrespect your superior”. He said silently in my ear. “but if you want to be smart, just expect my cartel to visit you tonight and inform your precious mum who you are”. He said with a grin.” Her son has joined bad gang”.

This actually sent the right signal.i dipped my hands in my pocket and dropped the money for the drinks on the table. Then I noticed everyone saw me, and they knew me very well.

As I walked out of the place, I heard the thug guy laughing and saying out loud “ you guys better respect him now, he is my blood. A read bad guy”.

“ TREAT HIM WELL” came the voice .
Immediately I felt a hand hit me across the face and someone kicked my feet. I staggered and regained my balance. Just then a blow landed on my nose and another at the back of my head. Something strong hit me on the rips followed my a strong punch on my tummy. The beating became intensive I fell on the ground with my hands still bound behind my back.

I thought I was going to die when everyone bounced on me like a hungry lion. At a point I didn’t fell much of the pain and started feeling drowsy as a result of the head blows and kicks.

The beating felt like forever until the voice shouted.

“halt!”

They immediately stopped and I laid face down on the ground with some blood taste in my mouth.

“raf the smelly pon!” the voice commanded.

I felt two hands lifting me up under my armpit. I discovered my legs were too weak to stay steady, and all over my body ached like hell.

They dragged me as I struggled to keep up. We eventually got where the heat of a fire was. I suddenly began struggling, thinking I was going to be thrown into the fire. The guys held on to me tight and forced me to my knees.

“fly way the smelly” the voice said.

My blind fold was removed immediately. I could see I was facing a fire. Then they turned me towards a guy in black over all. I would see after a while of straining my eyes. The gentle looking guy at Jacky’s house was standing in a black overall and a red hood over his head and two guys wearing balck beret and a yellow scarf round their neck stood beside him . I recognized him immediately because of his complexion and handsome face.

He was smiling at me as I managed the hurt all over my body.

“Rise up! You are now a superman. You withstood the storm and remained on your feet, rise new birth”. He said cheerfully.

I tried to stand up but the pain in my rip held me back, so the two guys who brought me there stood me up.

“hope you all took your pound of flesh for our rugged brother he splayed ? “he shouted to crowed round the fire.

They all responded. “aweee!”

“his drilling was meant to last for 7 minutes but I made it 10 minutes so all of you could take enough pound. I always knew he is a material. He didn’t die!”. The guy said to the crowed.

Then he turned to a guy standing at the adjacent side of the fire holding a calabash. The guy came immediately and held the calabash in front of the guy speaking. Then the guy in the black over all beckoned me over.

I came limping. He asked me to bring my palm. I did. Then he used a razor blade and cut the middle of my palm. He then turned my hand over for the blood to pour into the calabash.

After that, he asked me to drink, I did. It tasted like blood and gin. Then he said.


“repeat these words after me: i…mention your name”

I repeated.

“ I hereby swear…..that I will live and die in this confraternity ……..i will not reveal any secret…….if I do…..let me die a horrible death……..” then he said after the oath . “you just drank the blood of 100 super men standing here tonight. Today, your fight is our fight, our fight is yours. You will die a super man and be buried as such.

The crowed began singing some strange songs and dancing around the fire., hitting a drum, drinking and shooting in the air.

I was led to a side where I was given a black beret and a white scarf round my neck. The other smelly were brought in and made to take the oat one after the other. We sat beside a fire and was given a cup of gin.

The night hit its climax as everyone jumped and danced with reckless abandon, singing and shooting in the air. I nursed my pain silently wiping the blood that poured from different part of my head and body.

When it was about dawn, we all stood together and said a kind of prayer before the grand commander dismissed us and asked I and the other newbie’s to stand aside.

He came with the two guys that always stood beside him. Then he took his seat which was a mortar turned upside down. The two guys stood their positions behind him. Then he began speaking emphasizing every word.

“You are welcome to the brotherhood of the supermen. We are very happy to have you all in our midst. 12 0f you survived the night, one didn’t. Which confirms you are all materials? You!” he called to me. “ you are going to be part of my cartel. You have what I need. And all of you, I have an assignment for you all.”

Then he took a sheet of paper and handed it to the guys behind him”. You are to read and carry out the assignment within two weeks. Please don’t let us come looking for you, if you know what I mean. You can now go home and take care of yourselves”. He said and stood up abruptly.

“Move!” one of the guys said behind me and gave me a mild push on my back.

I was about moving when someone kicked my leg and I tripped over. They immediately held me down while I struggled effortlessly to break free. And began tying my hands behind my back. After a while of struggle, I was bound on both hands and my legs as well with my eyes still blind folded. They left me there all myself and went away.

Fear engulfed me as I wondered if they had it in mind to kill me. Again I reassured myself that If they wanted to kill me they would have killed me long time ago since they know where I live.

I heard some persons join in, and a husky voice commanded.

“Lie down there!”

And some one stepped on me and immediately removed the leg and started lying beside me, same as some others.

“Brothers, launch on them!” the husky voice commanded.

They started flogging us with a cold metal, perhaps a machete from the feel of it. The other guys cried like babies while I took mine with subdued groan.

“Please have mercy , please have mercy”. One of the guys with me said.

“You said what? Marcy? Your father! Who told you I want anything to do with your stinking vagina girlfriend”. The husky voice said and they all laughed hysterically.

The beating continued almost immediately . the guy who begged received more for begging. Suddenly there was a gun shot. A brief silence followed , then a voice said.

“They must have killed one of those smelly “

“I heard trigger freak butcher executed one for just begging”. the husky voice said.

There was a sudden calmness from my fellow newbie’s.

“There is a grave beside you guys, if any one of you dies , I will bury you there. Lunch on these smelly “the husky voice commanded.

They started using sticks machetes and kicks on us. Then they asked us to stand after several drills . I struggled on my feet with much difficulty. Suddenly there was a sound of breaking bottle followed by a scream. Then another, then it landed on my head. I felt like I was electrocuted. another followed and another , then sticks qnd blows.

“this one has fainted”. One of them said.

“ check if he is dead”. The husky voice said.

A brief silence followed, then came the first voice.

“I think he is dead”.

“awee! we are rugged!” the husky voice shouted.

“awee ! we are rugged!” they all chorused.


“bury him!” the husky voice commanded.

And then they began to sing a sorrowful song.

“I came , awee.
I saw the wicked on earth,
awee.
my brother elele
awee
my brother elele
awee
call my mother
awee
tell her am no one
awee
call my father
awee
tell him I am a strong man
awee
when I die
awee
my brother bury me
awee
take my girlfriend
awee
but bury me well
awee
may I die a hero
awee
my brother remember me
awee
may I not a die running
awee
my brother remember me
awee

With this song they buried the guy. Or so it seems from the sound of the happenings around me.

“Where is he?” came a familiar voice.

“Who?” asked the husky voice.

“What kind of rubbish question is that, our vip newbie” the familiar voice said.

“Okay,,,he is over there” the husky voice said.

“Here you are ….finally “ . The voice said .

I now recognize it. The thug guy’s.

A strong punch landed on my tummy, followed by a swift uppercut. I fell backwards and struggled up on my side. A kick descended on my rip and I fell flat face down with my hands and feet still bound.
The other guys seem to be enjoying it as they all laughed in amusement.

“there’s a new style I saw in a movie, I would love to try it. Raise him up”. The thug guy said .

They dragged me up and held me steady.

“Wait…wait am coming, hold him still”. The thug guy said.

“where are you going, do you want to fly?’ a voice asked.

“ its call flying kick” the thug guy said.

They all laughed and the guys holding me held me still as I waited in fear of the unknown.

Suddenly , I heard someone running, I knew I should be expecting the worse. Then came a kick on my chest that moved my feet from the ground and took me a little distance backwards before landing recklessly on the floor. The pain I felt on my hand that was bound backwards and the kick on my chest was excruciating. I coughed and shook feverishly.

“Please don’t kill him yet, we are yet to take our own pound of flesh”. The husky voice said.

“grand commander wants flashes of the smelly on the fire filed”. A new voice said.

“ oh no! why now!” said the thug guy in disgust.

“Don’t worry, it’s time to cut our own pound. Make sure you take as much as you want”. The husky voice said.

The rope on my leg was loosed. But I was still blindfolded. We were led to a place where they sang and danced with gunshots in the air. I prayed to god silently in my heart to help me survive the night. I made promises to god I didn’t know if I can fulfill. Then came a voice from the crowed.

“Brothers! We are going to experience a trap in the loose in the fire filed. 22 score in a single shot is a wile awee’’.

They all chorused. “awee” .

“we have a vip” came the voice again.

they all chorused excitedly. “awee…aweee…aweeeeee…aweeeeee…”.

“boy!” the tall one said, still looking at me in a dreadful way.

I felt my balls run into my stomach. I managed to utter something.

“what are you people doing here?” feeling cold in my palms.

“let’s see outside “.Jacky said motioning me with his hand towards the exit.

I swallowed hard and sheepishly dragged my feet and went outside the gate of my compound with them feeling the heavy beat of my heart against my chest.

The tall one said as soon as we were outside.

“tonight is the full moon”

I looked up to see how he got to know the full moon would be out tonight. They looked at each other and smiled. Then Jacky tapped me on the shoulder and said with a smirk on his face.

“full moon is the day of our initiation”.

“okay, I will come over at Jacky’s place tonight”. I said trying to buy time to escape.

They looked at me with an absolute seriousness. The huge one who has been quiet said with a note of anger.

“you are coming with us”.

“am busy inside the house, I cant leave what I was doing to follow…..”.

I was still talking when the huge one pulled up his shirt and showed me a pistol handle shooting out from his belt. I immediately shut up and looked at them with fear.

“if you value the lives of your loved ones you better follow us. We ought to take two of yours to replace ours, but we are going to let that slide if you become one of us”. The tall one said crossing his hand around my neck.

“Should I at least tell my people am going out?”. I asked evidently shivering in fear.

“don’t worry. You will give them a call”. He said moving away pulling me along with his hand around my neck.

I found myself at Jacky’s house regretting ever knowing him. I sat stiffly on a stool rubbing my cold palms together. The house was filled up with about 8 other guys smoking and drinking gin. They all gave me an ominous look which sent cold down my spine, making me wonder if the weather suddenly became freeze.

I overheard one of them whispering to another. “ if he survives tonight, then he is indeed lucky”. They both looked at me and continued smoking.

I knew it was going to be my funeral tonight. I thought of fighting my way out when Jacky came to me with a half bottle of gin.

“take” he said handing it to me.” You will need it”.

I looked at him, he was as nervous as scared as I was. Apparently he is of low rank in the gang. So his hands where tied concerning me. I held his shirt and drew him closer to whisper in his ear.
“are they going to kill me?” I asked, looking around at the ominous faces.

Jacky pulled himself slowly away from my grip, looked around to see if any of his gang where observant of how I held him. Then he whispered.

“I passed through it and still alive, same as everyone here. What makes you think you won’t survive it?” he said and walked way.

His tone was not reassuring, but I decided to buy his words for my own sake. I was about taking a sip from the bottle given to me when the thug guy I fought with came in. He spotted me immediately he walked in. A wicked grin spread on his face as he came confidently towards me.

“I cancelled my trip just to be here tonight. I will make sure I will be the one to end you”. He whispered to me, chuckled and walked away.

His words paralyzed me for a while. I then took a long gulp from the bottle and was about to take another when a kind looking guy walked up to me and said snappily.

“it’s alright, I understand. The gang needs the likes of you that’s why you are still alive. I will see you on the other side”. And he disappeared.

I didn’t know when I finished my drink and took a stick of cigarette from a guy who offered me one. I smoked it aggressively and was looking out for another drink when a guy shouted.

“brother of the night wind!”

They all chorused .” aweee! awee! “

I was startled by the sudden change but controlled myself.
He repeated again four times, followed by their timely response. He then began to speak.

“We have strained our fourth teeth with ample and apple. Yet we ran in the ocean with 6th and 7th angels of devil. Today, another devil may land on our feet, that is if shakula allows the rain to stay. Brother of the night wind!”.
“awee! awee!” they chorused.

“it’s time”. He said.

He ended on that note and everyone stood up and began dressing themselves abruptly. Two guys came to me and said.

“ follow us!”

I stood up and followed them. We got into a golf car and started driving into an unknown destination . In my heart I began to wonder why I have refused to act and remained calm. Then it occurred to me that i was subconsciously protecting Jacky who would pay with his life if I elope. And also I don’t know what they may do to my family since they know where I live.

We stopped in the middle of nowhere beside a forest. The other cars that followed behind parked as well . I noticed other cars packed and so was some scared looking guys; apparently they were in for same as I was. So my courage grew as I knew I wasn’t alone.

“Blindfold them” someone shouted in the dark.

Immediately I was blindfolded and led into the bush pushed from behind. I walked a long distance brushing leafs and kicking roots of over grown trees as I progressed.

I had walked some lengthy distance when I heard voices of people in pain, and gunshots . one of the shouted “ please let me go,I don’t want again”. Another voice responded. “shut up! Do you want to die?”

I sat up with cold water dripping from all over my body. Sandra had already gone in shutting the door hard behind her. I was shivering from the cold that was piercing through my skin gripping my bones as hard as possible.

I stood up folding my arms against my chest to tame the massive intrusion of wild cold that pervaded the sitting room. Slowly I struggled to put off the air conditional, and shut the windows. Yet , my temperature dropped rapidly because of the wetness of my cloth.

“how am I going to get off in this cold weather?” I said to myself.

Then i struggled to walk to the door. As soon as it was opened, I immediately closed it. The wind blew very cold. I was returning back to my seat when I heard cars driving in. I quickly ran to the window to see who it was because I anticipated the unfriendly visit of Sandra’s zombies.

Alas it was the devil showing up just in time. I suddenly felt worm and ran out of Sandra’s house and hid myself at the general visitors restroom at the corridor that leads to the exit.

I was completely oblivious of the stench from the urine whose longevity has grossly multiplied its sulfuric rigidity. I gladly sat beside it listening to the rush of footsteps rushing towards Sandra’s flat.

I remained in my hidden position, aware of the rapid pounding of my heartbeat. The footsteps died off, I didn’t want to risk checking what’s going on, so I remained still in my awkward state.

“He’s gone ma”. A voice said casually.

“You mean you didn’t see anyone walk out?”. Sandra’s voice came in a worried tone.

“no ma”. The voice replied.

I heard the door closed and footsteps walked up and down the corridor. Another door opened and someone shouted.

“who are you!”

A familiar voice replied.

“I live here”.

I was able to place the voice, it was the tall man from earlier.

“What’s going on here?” he inquired.

“Would you get back into your flat?!” a voice commanded.

I heard a door closed, and another door opened.

“Boys!” called the voice talking with Sandra earlier.

“Sir!” came some voices uniformly.

“Come inside!” the voice commanded.

“Alright sir!”.

I waited until the door closed before I snicked out and raced out of the house like Mr flash.

I was in a safe distance before I stood a little to gasp for air. Then it was dawn to me that I had lost Sandra. I felt hot tears rolling down my cheeks. I didn’t believe I could cry for a woman. I quickly wiped it off and channeled my anger on Ruth.

It was getting bright, perhaps it would be 7am, I had completely lost track of time. I walked the long distance to my house in a complete trance. I was deep in a million ways to kill Ruth and a thousand ways to keep malice with mum for life. Before I realized where I was I had gotten close to my area.

I had been trekking for 3 hours 30minutes without realizing it. Sweat drenched my shirt and my feet was remarkably dusty. The sun was now beginning to scorch but I cared less of them all.

I was home, and slowly walked up the stairs and found Ruth in the kitchen washing dishes.

“What….what…what are …you doing here you witch!”. I stuttered angrily.

She moved backwards aware I was In no way reasonable.

“what are you doing here?!” I yelled.

She didn’t say anything but kept a pathetic stare at me.

I rushed towards her and threw a slap at her, she ducked and I hit the door hard behind her, letting out a loud banging sound. She ran into the house calling mum. I took a breakable plate and flung it on her direction, again I missed and it hit the wall and scattered.

Mum rushed out of her room as Ruth opened the door hastily.

“Mike! Mike! What is wrong with you? When did you become a woman beater ?” mum said shielding Ruth with her body, while she hid behind mum.

“Tell that witch to go and fix what she spoilt. Tell her to go and fix it or else am going to kill her and kill myself” I yelled on top of my voice.

“God forbid! You will do no such thing. Spit it out! You will do no such thing”. Mum said, still shielding Ruth.

“You better tell her!” I said and walked into my room banging the door behind me.

I lay facing the ceiling. My heart was breaking into shreds I could barely breathe. I sat up abruptly my heart raced around evil thoughts; one was to end it all with the gun under the bed. Another was to kill Ruth and blow my head off; at least it will pain less.

I then decided to reach for the gun where I kept it, it wasn’t there anymore. I scattered everything under the bed but couldn’t find it. I turned the room upside down, yet it was nowhere to be found.

I remembered Ruth saw me hiding it under the bed.

“What sought of witch is this?!”.i backed out loud. “Where has she taken this stuff to?.

I quickly came out of the room and went straight to mums room.

“Where is she?” I yelled at mum looking searchingly around the room.

“are you mad?!” mum said standing to face me. “ how dare you barge into my room like that, are you out of your senses?”
“mum, where is that witch, where is she?!” I yelled and stormed out of mums room.

Mum called effortlessly after me as I searched zealously for Ruth all over the house. I was running down the stairs when I bumped into Jacky and two other guys from the Jacky’s house looking ominously at me.

I found myself standing in front of Philas house few minutes later. She opened the door after few knocks.

“heyyy! Who do we have here?” she said hugging me.

I discovered I didn’t want to let go, as I awfully enjoyed the comfort of her embrace. She then broke loose and gave me a suspicious look before leading me into the house.

“you look lean, what’s been happening ? you sounded broken over the phone” she said sitting on her couch.

I sat beside her and shook my head avoiding her piercing eyes.

“talk to me mike”. she said putting her hand on my thigh.

I narrated all that ensued between I and Sandra, not letting anything out including the pregnancy. Phila listened with keen interest until I was done before she spoke .

“how could you be so reckless mike ? if I were Sandra I would have gotten you arrested and beaten to pop”

I didn’t see that coming. Her scold made me regretted telling her the entire truth .

“am sorry that am sounding rather hash instead of consoling you, but I need to tell you the truth mike, you acted so lousy. How are you going to take care of two babies in your current joblessness? or are you depending on the peanut we pay you?” her voice was so hostile.

I looked between my legs and said nothing.

She drew closer to me and placed her hand on my shoulder and was about to continue when the sitting room door flung open and Philas son came in with a nylon of ice cream in his hand and ran straight to his mum followed by her boyfriend.

“Mummy! Mummy!” the boy shouted as he jumped on his mum’s body.

She hugged him and the boy broke free immediately and showed his mum what he got for her.

“mummy, I got you vanilla” he said smiling.

“ you always know mums favorite. Thank you sweetheart. She said and collected the bag from him.

Philas boyfriend gave me an uninviting look as he slowly walked in observing the closeness between I and his girlfriend. I didn’t know if to move slightly away or remain where I was. To remedy my awkward state I extended a hand towards him. He looked at it and said to Phila who obviously was obsessed with her son to notice either of us.

“ hey sweetie”.

“baby, welcome. How was was your day?” she asked .

“fine, am going in”. he said with a note of disapproval and walked into the house.

Phila gave him a surprised look and returned abruptly to her son.

“sweetie, go in and freshen up let me discuss with uncle ok?”

“ok mummy”. He answered and ran into the house.

She turned to me and asked.

“mike dear, who do you love between both girls?”

“ Sandra “ I said without thinking.

She looked at me smiled and said.

“Then go for her. Don’t ever call me again if you don’t make up with her”.

“I plan on doing that tomorrow maybe”. I said.

She gave me a stern look and said.

“Who is talking about tomorrow? Go to her right now! Kneel, cry, do whatever it takes to make her forgive you”.

I looked surprised at her. My intention of coming to her was to get a feminine comfort but from the look of things I wasn’t getting any of that.

“I cant go over there tonight, its already late. The security men who guards her area don’t understand English, they shoot before they ask” I said suppressing my disappointment.

“mike!”she called.

I looked at her in the eyes and then turned away when our eyes met.

“this is the ripe time. At least if you claim she loves you, she wont allow you step out at night”. She said.

These words of hers got me standing miserably in front of sandras house. I struggled to knock severally but withheld my hand.

“who are you looking for?” a man called from behind.

I turned abruptly and beheld a very tall lanky man of about 7 feet tall in his mid age .

“Sandra” I said realizing the tension in my tone.

This ignited suspicion from the man as he cautiously moved closer to me .

“why didn’t you call her?” he said eyeing me ominously.

I uneasily took out my phone and suddenly realized I should have knocked, then with a tremulous hand I landed my knuckle on her door.

“why not use the bell?” the man said still eyeing me.

I realized the awkward state I was in and then pushed it. Looking at the man from the side of my eyes.

The man then took out his phone and started dialing a number still fixed his eyes on me. This prompted me to push the butting severally .

“who is that?” came Sandra’s voice.

I looked at the man satisfactorily while he stopped dialing on his phone still looking at me.

“wont you answer?” he asked suspiciously.

“its me !” I shouted.

The door flung open and I beheld sandras disapproving stare. She turned away from me to the tall man.

“ Mr Bruno hi”. She said.

“ hi Sandra. Are you okay with him?” he asked still eyeing me.

“ he is okay. Thanks for the call”. She said smiling.

“its okay, alright goodnight”. He said and started walking through the corridor.

“goodnight” she retorted .

After a while as the man disappeared from sight, Sandra broke the awkward moment between us.

“yes,what can I do for you?”.

I knelt down immediately, and said looking very pathetic.

“am sorry baby, I cant live a day without you. You make my life meaningful, I can’t breathe without you. I truly love you baby. I am useless without you, please don’t drive me insane, please don’t cause me sleepless nights. I am ready to serve any punishment. Call the soldiers on me. Shoot my legs, but please forgive me after that I don’t mind to be crippled but to be with you”.

She stood looking at me as though my lines struck her weak spot. She then asked me to stand up. I was so excited and made to hug her but she pushed me away from her.

“stop right there! Do you think I can be fooled by the same line you just finished using on Ruth. I bet those lines caught her. You better go work things out with her and care for your second child. Please get going, its getting late” she said and shot the door on my face.

I was surprised at this side of Sandra . I never knew she could be this unforgiving towards me. I knocked again and rang her bell severally, but she didn’t respond.

I made to leave but the fear of the unlearned men on guard tamed me. So I ended up sleeping in front of sandras door.

The door swung open and I fell over.

“what are you still doing here?” she angrily enquired.

I wiped the saliva from the side of my mouth. And cleared my eyes before standing up.

“I asked you a question young man!” she yelled.

I made to kneel again, but she held me up and said.

“come in”.

I looked at her as though I didn’t hear her well.

“I said come in before I change my mind!” she barked.

I jumped in and looked pitifully at her as she closed the door. She was looking very sexy in her skin tight transparent black pant and a red net singlet .my bleeping rod rose angrily at the sight of her voluptuousness.

“sleep on the couch”. she said and walked in.

I was so happy that perhaps this was a chance of me finding a place in her forgiveness. So I laid and slept off after a long while of brooding over the scenario of the day.

I was awakened from a sweet navigation of the turn my sleep was about taking by a cold water in the chilling of the weather coupled with her very high air-condition.

I jumped up and saw Sandra looking maliciously at me.

“you have overstayed your welcome. Get the hell out of my house, its morning already. Get the hell out of my house!” she yelled.

I looked at the time on her wall clock. It was 5am. Then I turned to her and said.

“please, forgive me. Am very sorry”. I said and was surprised tears rolled down my cheek.

She looked at me for a while and burst out in a boisterous laughter.

“ you are indeed a gold digger, how desperately you want to come back. If you choose to remain here, you that at your own risk. My boys are on their way, and if they meet you here….” She said and walked into the house.
