Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 71

I’d barely left the door to my conscience open by bending my head down and was totally lost in thought when my inner Madrid and Barca conscience began their unending debate

Favour was still standing nak3d infront of me while the debate went on.

Trust Barca now, it spoke first.
‘before you think of either to let her go or not, remember you need to test if the jinx with Doyin has been broken or not, and I think she’s the best apparatus for this experiment of yours….’ Barca conscience adviced

Hmmm, thats right, thats the only way I could be sure that the jinx of death has been anulled totally.

‘Darous, you don’t need to take vengeance on her to ascertain wether the jinx have been broken or not. All you need is to have faith that all is well… You can’t die, remember you are not just any ordinary human being, you are too special to die like a chicken.

Don’t let your fear of death cloud your sense of fairness. Please show her some pity’ Madrid cuts in

Hmmm, you are also on point, but am just confused right now, how do I tackle this?

‘Darous my guy, remember that b!tch stole from you! And all the rigorous ordeal she made you go through. If you let her go unpunish, what message will that say about you? Please just fvck her already.’ Barca curts in

Gawd! I really want to have this revenge, but I’m just confused because I believe she did it for her daughter…that poor girl of 8years on a life support with brest cancer…who would blame her? No amount of Jury can convict her for that

‘thats the more reason why you have to let her go, she’s already suffered alot’

you are on point. I have to put Audrey Timms Letting go’ into use. I have to let her go. If not for anything atleast for the sake of her daughter

‘don’t tell me you are going to buy that bullshit…where has it ever been heard or spoken of that an 8years old girl is having a brest cancer.

Release her on that reason and you will regret ever doing that. Fvck her and make her give you your wallet and money!’

This is a dilema o..how can I be this confused? I’ve…..

“Roberto, please answer me, lets get this over with quickly, I still have a lot of customers waiting for me” Favour cuts into my thoughts with a strained tone

I took a deep breath and stood up facing her.

There’s something inexplicable about her facial espression but I couldn’t quite place my finger on it

Her beautiful shakira features finally suceeded into intimidating me into forgiving her

I placed my arms on her rounded and smooth toothpaste shoulders. “Favour, how much have you gathered out of the 500k needed for the surgery of Amy?”

She was taken aback with my question which I deducted through her agape mouth. Perhaps she wasn’t expecting such a question from me, not at that time and moment

“just erm…erm….300 thousand naira. My parents gathered 200 and I worked hard for the remaining 100”

“hmm, by working hard you mean pick pocketing like you did to me?” I stated outrightly with a mordant tone and a raised eyebrow

“oh, no…am not always bad…I did a lot of menial jobs to raise that amount.” She said with a less simper smile

“really?

What about her father, isn’t he going to take responsibility for his child?” I enquired picking my phone from the floor when I saw a silent incoming call from Jide. “excuse me..,..hello dude”

“Darous where you dey na? We don dey search everywhere for you….”

“am….am at somewhere…i’ll call you later”

“are you alright? Are you feeling fine or feeling death?” His voice was laced with worry

“na who wan die? Me or you?” I stated playfully. “abi wetin concern your 3310 with Instagram?…”

“its obvious you are still with us…idiot, sha call me when you start vomitting out your smoked brain.” He hissed and ended the call

Not giving a d--n about my last question to Favour, I stared into her face and saw that I don’t need a Palmist to tell me that I need to help her

“sit down” She obeyed hesitatingly

“I want to help you out. And once I did, I don’t ever want to see you doing this type of Job anymore. Ok?” She nodded avidly

“let me make some calls…and see what we can do…” I picked my phone and dialed Doris number. It was past eleven o’clock. It took her the 2nd attempt before she picked the call.

“hello Doris”

She cleared her throat “Darous…how you?”

“am fine, but am sorry to bother your sleep, I just need your help urgently…please”

I could here some scuffle noise coming from her room, she’s probably trying to get out of bed and sit properly

“are you ok? What is it?”

“am fine, just need to help out my mum. I got home to meet her and my siblings in a very dilapitated state. I was totally flabbergasted. I didn’t call you earlier because I thought I could handle it.

Please they are in total mess right now and nothing will thrill me more than to put a happy smile on their faces before I take my leave”. I explained with a well mendacious tone

Flavour continued to stare at my face in absolute wonderment

She heaved a deep sigh. “ok. In what way do you need my help?”

“have been able to do the total calculations of all the expenses and its….”

“how much exactly? I need my sleep Darous, I have an early occasion tomorrow and I have to travel very early.” She curts in

“just 200k…I’ll be happy if….”

“send me your account details and expect it within 5mins.” With that, the line went dead and I can’t help but give myself a thumbs up

I quickly open a Diamond bank account and send the details to her. Promptly at 5mins I received an alert from my bank with the sum of 250k credited into it. I forwarded 200k into Favour’s account and exchange numbers with her

Favour was full of praises and was showering me with kisses and hugs

I watch her as she began to pack her luggages and got ready to decamp the brothel as early as dawn

***

I have to test if the jinx has been broken and I didn’t want to use Favour for it

I strolled to the open floor and found another beautiful girl. After taken another Goldberg, I followed her to her room.

Then something happened
