Must Read: I Have Done Some Great Bad Things - Season 2 - Episode 21

We set out for the farm,having it in mind that there is a lot of work awaiting us..I asked Jane whether she was really up for it?

She replied,saying:
“i will try!”..
…..
Two of them carried a wheel-barrow,two carried Blackhorse bicycles,one of them carried nothing except a Cutlass,I brought along our own Blackhorse while i had earlier encouraged Jane to come in my own bicycle and put some water in one Jerry-can like that,We sure will be needing it..
We didnt ride as we walked all the way up to their farm somewhere in Amakabo! I figured that it will be the easiest and shorter place to go by distance,especially,judging by the fact that it is still the place with better firewoods still in place..I was like the captain of a cult with an elite following!
Few minutes later,we arrived and after showing them where the farm boundaries lay,they{we} started work!
Sweetly enough,Jane was really trying just like she said..

I preferred cutting firewoods to pulling Cassava stems{tubers} even though it is tiring, i alwaz thought it was men’s work to do!
……
After stashing and piling and arranging everything,both the harvested cassava’s and firewoods,they said we should rest a while before we start going! I believe it was approaching midday then..
But while they rested,i told them that am coming,let me freestyle a bit around the bush there and see if i could find a wild fruit to eat..

All this while,i have been keeping tabs on that Ogochukwu,trying my kiddy best to make her talk to me,but the girl was just forming Angelina Jolie for me..I decided that i will not bother about her again..Infact,i developed a type of silly hatred for her! What do i care?

Lol! I cared o! That girl is the most beautiful dark girl i have ever seen,the type Psquare will refer to “asamkpokoto!”..

Jane didnt give me much chance anyway..

So,as i told them that am coming,and as i expected too,Jane opted to come with me..I was like:
“anyi ga efukwa o!O teela mbiasoro ebe a o!”{We will lost o! Its being long i have been here!}..
“As far as it is the two of us,no problem if we lost”,Jane replied,making me to smile..
As we entered the nearby bush,i heard one of them shout that:
“we shouldnt waste more than 15mins in there!”..
I made a fun of it as we entered the bush,saying:
“it seems the hunger to disappear permanently is taking over you!”
What i meant is that,they cant leave without me,they will lost!!
……
Jane immediately hugged me very tight as we traversed into one corner of the bush like that,almost making my heart jump out from my mouth..I was like trying to ask her what she saw,and then i looked and saw what she had seen..A wounded antelope who just struggled out of its trap..

Chai!! “I wished i had come with my Cutlass inside this bush”, was the thought that kept ringing in my mind..I cursed!! I could have ran the whole bush with that antelop to make sure i killed it as it cant run faster than me again with its wound..

Jane still held me,though,now at my back,and viewing from there as her head rested on my clavicle..

Stupidly as the antelop became,it stood there waiting to probably see what i will do..

I tried to ginger the animal with Jane still holding me,but Jane shouted in a terrified tone telling me to leave the animal alone..I was like:
“i makwa na ihe a wu anu Mgbada?”{This is antelope o?},i said..
“hafu ya!”{Leave it!},she said..
Well,the animal ran away when Jane shouted..Chai! If it had been Collins na,it would have been another story altogether,i rued…

Jane still held me,and i reminded her that the animal has gone now all thanks to her,that she should leave me na…

She released her grip on me,and i turned and made to take a real hold on her,so that we both were facing each other face to face..

She stopped me from doing that,telling me to:
“stay one place!”…

I tried to over-muscle her,but she just kindly and out of respect called:
“Odii?”,probably warning me in one word that i should respect myself..Na wa o!
…….
We returned to the place the others were,and they were ready to go..We all went home..But,i kept wondering what made Jane reject my advance..Is it that she now hates me but still pretends to be with me? Is she still carrying something in mind for me? Is she afraid of me?

I had a tripple zillion thoughts as we rode home,with me keeping to myself and not even talking to any body again unlike when we were coming…That was when i realised that Ogochukwu has been staring at me,but that moment,i wasnt in the mood to even entertain her by reciprocating the stare,which kinda like sent a strange feeling to her.
……
We arrived home,and i was told That Paapa’s wife was preparing a special food for us…Wasnt in the mood to hear food talks,so i went and took my bath,went straight to my room,and then bolted the door from inside..

Few minutes later,Jane came and knocked on the door!

When i reached the door,i asked her:
“what is it?”,without opening the door!
“Just open the door”,she said.

Not that i wanted to anyway,but i still did cuz i had to do it!

I opened the door for her and walked back to the bed without even caring to look at her..She bolted the door back as she entered..At some point,she stopped in between her steps,and i guess she must have been staring at me,probably deciding on whether or not to join me in the bed…Then i heard her steps draw closer,and then the weight of the bed sinked a bit,making me realise she is now on the bed!
“Odii?”,she called..
“Mmmm?”,i replied..
“legodu m anya!”{face me!},she said..
“acho m!”{i dont want to!},i replied..
“a ma m,mana legodu m anya!”{i know,but look at me!},she insisted..

Her tone this time around was somehow,so i turned to face her,but was shocked by what i saw..

Jane was almost at the verge of crying cuz her eyez were already filled and brimming with tearz…Just one blink further,and it will all start flowing!!
I was like,whats wrong with you? Why are you crying Jane? I was like,is it because of this my little play-acting that is making you to start crying?
I totally forgot that she had been the one that had angered me..

But just as my worry heightened,with her refusing to say anything to me,she just burst into a very heart-breaking hysterical laughter! What the hell!!
…….
My previous mood returned again,as i told her not to pull such silly tricks on me again!
She was like:
“You really have not changed Odii!”…
“Meaning what?”,i asked..
“You pity people a lot..Its not all that good!”,she said..
“o kwa o di mma O kwa ya? Ngwanu!”{it is not good shey? Alright na!},i simply said..
“ashi kwa m gi gbawa zie wicked!”{I didnt say you should start being wicked!},she added..
“o wu gi manu ihe iko ga!”{Na you sabi wetin you dey talk!},i said..Then i added:
“eziokwu,a likihu m ngi i no!”{Truthfully,i dont like here that you are!}..
“maka gini Odii? I choro ka m lawa?”{Why Odii? Do you want me to start going?},she said..
“i ga asi na ima ihe i mere!”{stop doing like you dont know what you did!},i said in a serious tone!

She started laughing at me,and then said:
“nke gi na nwunye gi na eme o gwula gi ike?”{Have you gotten tired from fûcking with your wife?},she said,or rather,asked me!!
“nwunye m nke ole?”{Which my wife?},i asked her very curiously!
” Amara!”,she replied in a cold-hearted manner!!!.

Save for that flash vibrant spur of the moment action or thought that saves fast thinking peepz in tight situation,Jane would have gotten the better of me as she replied her answer back!

So,i asked her:
“o wu Nkechi gi gwakwara gi nke a?”{is it your Nkechi that told you this one too?}..
“e gide la m ya!”{i have caught him!},she replied instead,brimming with victory about what i dont really know she won..
“anyi o gbaga oso iji egide m?”{Are we running that you are catching me?},i asked her,being very bold and telling myself to be courageous!
“so,are you now tired with her?”,she asked again..
“kee udi mmanu iwu awu? I na aga ijuwa ya onye ahu gwara gi! Ya”{What kind of human being are you? Go and ask the person that told you na!},i replied…
Externally,i was feigning a sort of anger,while internally,i was really hoping Jane will stop! But no,she was on a mission to taunt me,i thought to myself!!
“m ga eshi nga afuru gi o? I na ha akpasula m iwe,ya ana ato gi!”{i will leave here for you o? You have just been deriving joy from making me angry!},i said some seconds later!
“i hubela ihe!”{You have not seen anything yet!},she replied..
……
“Ebe i ma na Amara wu nwunye m,kee ihe i ka na emekwa nu nga?”{Since you know Amara is my wife,what are you still doing here?},i asked..
She kept silent…
“You are keeping calm now right?”,i put forward!
“mechie onu gi!”{Shut up!},she replied immediately..
“i na aro nro!”{You are dreaming!},i told her!
She kept staring at me..I could feel her screaming at me in her mind,wanting to break my head,wanting to leave the room…But,something still pinned her down!

She was totally silent,with the only sound in the room coming from our breathing!
I tried to see if i could reach out my hand to her manchester,but was met by a heavy hitting in my hand! O boy!!
“o mu a ka i kuru ihe a Jane?”{Is it me that you hit this,Jane?},i asked her,knowing fully well that it was me that she hit!..
She kept quiet..
“dikwa ready i kugbu m ugbua!”{Be ready to kill me now!},i said bitterly afterwards!
She still didnt say anything,probably,she was saying it to herself in her mind!
……….
I drew more closer to her,almost hugging her,and she tried to push me off of her….for where kwanu!

I made up my mind that i must force myself on her…I started having the feeling that she was just pretending,that afterall we use to do it anyhow then,why is she now behaving somehow?
When she saw that she couldnt struggle again as i have literally pinned her hands and one of her legs on the bed,she said she will shout!

I dared her to,but she didnt!

By this time however,my Greatman was totally excited,rearing to devour..But i respected myself a bit as i asked her:
“kee ihe mere i choo ka anyi mee ya?”{Why dont you want us to do it?}..

It was as if it is the question she has been hoping to hear me ask so that she can say her real mind,the real motive behind her actions since i came back to the village!
“You dont like me again Odii,you only like Amara..Even my sister confirmed it!”,she said calmly,but sadly..

My grip on her lessened,till i finally left her totally!

I felt bad at that moment..I somehow felt betrayed..I felt that Ukamaka has somehow betrayed me..

I felt that Jane is really not appreciating my efforts! Which efforts kwanu?

All my efforts!

My countenance changed as i left the bed for her,and tried to leave the room,having the food Paapa’s wife was preparing in mind!

Suddenly,am hungry!
Jane just remained calm on the bed,oblivious of the fact that i was leaving the room until she heard the sound of the door bolt…”Odii

chere!”{Wait Odii!},she said..

I neglected her and unbolted the door proper…

I was about stepping my foot outside the room when she drew my shirt with force so that i was drawn back into the room,surprising me as to when she did get up and sprinted that fast to hold my shirt!…
“i ga akpasu m iwe o,and i ga a laiki ihe m ga eme..Hafu m!”{You will provoke me o,and you may not like what i will do..Let me be!},i said..
“i na ere ure otutu!”{You do shakara a lot!},she said as she bolted the door behind me while i stared at her with hatred and disbelief,yet internally,i was joyful and jubilating!!
