In the blink of an eye, I was dragged up like a polythene bag and the tyres were placed beside me.

From afar, I saw someone running towards us with a keg which I presumed contained petrol.

I saw the girl standing beside the bike man that conveyed her to the place staring at me with a stone cold eye. She stood like a mean village primary school headmistress.

As the guy with the petrol almost got to us, some guys took the tyres and were about to place it on my head.

Using all the last bit of strength remaining inside my body, I jerked myself off from the guy that was holding me and dash to meet the girl where she was standing.
” I’m not a kidnapper ” I screamed repeatedly like a mad man as I dashed towards her.
” remember me ” I screamed holding her hand as I got to her.
” this guy get liver oo ” I heard one of my haters said as I felt a hand on my collar as they tried to drag me away from her but I was pulling her hand, not releasing it.
” you came to my church yesterday, I was the one preaching ” I screamed aloud as they’re trying to disassociate me from her.
” wait ” she said in discomfort due to my pulling.

Like she’s a sort of confessor, everywhere suddenly became silent and the guys that were trying to pull me, all left me.

She suddenly slap me with her left hand because I was holding her right one. I didn’t know how my hand left her right hand at that moment.
” if you get to survive the fire, tell Cancer that he’s not laying his hand on me ” she uttered to me with a mean look.
” who’s Cancer ” I asked with surprised countenance as I fought the urge not to cry.
” see him trying to feign innocent, I know he’s the one that asked you to follow me but it’s a pity that he’s only going to get here to meet a barbecue version of you ” she replied as my haters wait there looking at us waiting for her to order me to be burnt.
” I don’t know who Cancer is, you came to my church yesterday while I was preaching ”
” preaching ” she said interrupting.
” yes ” I swifty replied shaking my head.
” I was preaching but you disappeared before the end of the service and we couldn’t take your details as a new member ” I swiftly added as I saw the escape spotlight in front of me.
” yeah, I can remember you now ” she said staring at my face.
” so you’ve been trying to catch up with me because you wanted to get my attention ” she added now losing the mean look.
” yes, that’s the reason I asked the bike I was on earlier to catch up with your bike ” I said now having hope of safety.

” I’ve to confirm what you’re saying ” she said bashing the hope I had gotten from the conversation we had.
” how ” I asked looking surprised.
She didn’t reply me as she moved behind me and dragged my shirt and white singlet up.
She stared at my back as if looking for something there.

After few seconds, she let my shirt down.
” I’m sorry everyone but I think I was mistaken ” she said as the whole mob carried the face that was that of disappointment.

She put her hand into the back pocket of her jean trousers and brought out some cash.
She gave out some of it to one of them as she apologized to them for the confusion.

They’re not happy but the cash they got diverted their attention as they clamor in joy over the cash and left us shouting as to how the money should be shared.

” I’m sorry ” she said to me after she’s done settling the folks.
” it’s okay ” I said spitting out blood from my mouth.

” I got what I deserve for acting stupidly ” I added releasing more blood filled spit from my mouth.

I knew my face is already bruised up as I felt pain all over it as blood trinkle down from it.
Both the jean trouser I was wearing and the shirt I was wearing has procured many cuts and stain from my blood and the earth, making them look like rag.

My eyeglasses was laying on the floor in pieces.

My mind suddenly drifted back to my phone as I swiftly touch my back pocket.

I heaved a sigh of relief as I felt its shape inside it.

I brought it out and find its touch all cracked up.

It’s procured thousand crack on it. I press its switch key and its screen was also gone. It was filled with ink.

” will you go to the hospital ” she asked me with a remorseful tone.
” you don’t need to ” I said to her.
” you can go, I’ll find my way back home ” I added as I took off my shirt leaving only my underwear on. My body was all bruised up from the severe beating I received.
” Only if I had listen to my mom’s warning ” I thought to myself.

I left them as I started trekking down the road.

A bike suddenly parked beside me.
” get on ” the girl said to me but I feigned dead ear as I continued with my journey, expecting to see another bike that I’m going to ride home.
” pastor ” she called getting down from the bike as she hastened her movement so as to catch up with me .
” pastor kill you there ” I said to myself not answering her.

” I said I’m sorry and giving it a good thought , I’m not at fault here ” she said as she intercepted my way.
” it’s not your fault, I already accepted it, so please let me be on my way ” I replied.
” please let me just make it up to you by taking you home “she said with a remorseful look.
