My Madam And I - S01 E64

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 64

I sat beside the man thinking of the possibility of me dying so early and how my plans and aspirations just ended. The old man stood up pointing to a large group of people of different race and color waking on a single file and he said.

” let’s follow them”

” to where?” I asked confused.

He ignored me and started walking towards them. Few minutes later I felt lonely so I ran and joined in the queue.

The guy behind me was Chinese looking and the girl in front of me was African. So I tapped her on the shoulder and asked.

” please where are we going to? ”

She looked at me , her face was heavy with sadness, she just turned to her front and kept walking.

Many walked as though they were tired. But we all had one thing in common. A sad look.

Suddenly we stopped and everyone started moving to different directions, I stood in the middle wondering what was going on.

The place was dusk looking and had a sad feeling about it. Suddenly someone screamed, another joined in, then whole place was filled with loud cries. I tried to see who it was that was crying but found no one, same as everyone else in our group . A little boy of about 5 years old approached me and said.

” excuse me. Please I was with my dad some minutes ago and suddenly I can’t find him. Please can you help me look for him? ”

I looked at the poor boy with no answer for him, so I asked.

” where was the last place you saw your dad? ”

” in the hospital, I was sick and he was beside me. I suddenly started coughing and he went to get the doctor, before he came back I felt tired and slept off,then I saw myself here ”

I couldn’t tell him that he was dead, so I said.

” your dad is around somewhere, don’t worry we are going to meet him soon. ”

So I held the boys hand and led him to a side where we sat down looking at the happenings.

A fat lady suddenly surfaced from nowhere shouting.

” where am i?! Sam! Sam where are you?! Sam! ”

She ran away screaming .

” that’s how they come here by the minute ” someone said behind me.

I turned to see who it was. A young lanky guy stood beside me.

can I sit with you guys? “he said sitting without our consent. ” I have been here for a very long time, more than so many, since then we have been walking ”

” how do you mean walking? ” I asked.

” just as we were before long” he said, looking at the little boy beside me. ” a lot of lads like this come here in thousands everyday”

” where are we going to? ” I asked.

” paradise” he said. Then continued “There’s a place I’ll take you to before we begin walking. It’s called Zixc”

” Zixc? ”

” yeah Zixc. Its a channel that leads to the world. But lemme warn you, you may not like it. And there are risks involved ” he said.

” what kind of risk ?” I asked with keen interest.

” you maybe trapped if you don’t return on time, and if you get caught by bazimzz, you will be taken to ghost cell otherwise known as prohell”

” bazimzz? Ghost cell? ” I asked.

” yeah ”

Just then a baby started crying very loud it almost deafened us.

” what’s that cry?! ” I said covering my ears.

” aborted babies ” he said standing up.

” seriously? ” I asked.

” you haven’t seen anything. They’re more babies aborted daily than people dying of accidents. Am going to Zixc, are you coming? ”

” what if we start moving? ” I asked, standing up.

” you don’t know?” he said smiling. ” two days on earth is like two minutes here”

We both walked straight on a long distance with the kids hand in mine.

” how do you know where we are going to? ” I asked as we kept waking.

” don’t worry, trust me. ” he said smiling.

After walking for a long distance we met two giants with the biggest muscles I had ever seen standing adjacent each other.

” these are the gate keepers ” the guy whispered.

” katu hijaz poraq intit zimalu ” one of the giant said.

I turned to the guy, he just smiled at me and replied the giant .

” katu milob potas intit zimalu ”

The giant stretched forward his hands and said.

” jikkizx”

The guy looked at me and said.

” where’s the coin? ”

” what coin? ” I asked.

” in your pocket! Don’t you know that Every good you have done has a coin saved for you?”

I looked surprised, then checked my pocket and noticed lots of coins. I took out one, it was inscribed on it ” the fire incident ” , and I brought another, ” the helping hand” . I looked at the guy and asked.

” what about yours? ”

He said smiling ” I have used it up. Do you know how long I have been here? ”

So I handed him one. He looked at me frowning, I didn’t understand what he meant , then he said

” two more ! One for me and one for the boy! ”

I handed him three coins, but not the one of the fire incident. That I kept aside.

The giant collected it from him and showed us a pathway behind them. There was a hole in the air with wind blowing strongly around it.

We came closer to it with the guy in front. He put his hands inside it and the wind took him away. I drew back in shock. The little boy held on to legs tight in fear. I carried him and said.

” let’s go see your daddy”

He nodded, and we both stretched our hands into the hole and saw ourselves on earth in a market place . People rushed towards us, I held the boy thinking they were going to push us down but they passed through us. I looked for our guide he was no where to be found. So I carried the boy to a street that was less busy. A dog saw us and started barking, the owner kicked it but it kept barking. I carried the boy who was scared of the dog and left the place.

” hey!” someone called.

I looked around but didnt see anyone.

” up here! ”

I looked and saw a fat man on a tree. He looked different from the living so I knew he was ghost .

” what are you doing walking aimlessly? ” he asked.

” I am looking for this little boys father ” I said, still carrying the frighted boy.

” I can show you. Do you have coins?”

I nodded . He flew down gently. I was trilled, so I asked.

” how did you do that ?”

” it’s easy to do anything on earth”.

” wow! How do I do that? ” I asked.

” it will cost you! ” he said smiling.

” please I need to see my mum and his father” I said anxiously.

” you can’t see your mum ” the fat man said.

” why? ”

” because you’re not dead yet ” he said walking away.

I followed him and asked.

” how do you mean am not dead yet? ”

” can’t you see that you and a few are different?

I looked at myself, the boy and the man, they were almost invisible but I still have flesh like body.

” am I in a kind of coma? ” I asked.

” until you are like us, you are not dead yet ” he said.

” ok lets see this boys father”

” why do you want to see him? The dead has no business with the living. Even as we are right now it’s risky. Bazimzz are around looking for the likes of us”

We followed him to a half completed building with dirts everywhere , an old man lived there. He sat on a chair reading when we arrived. He looked up and said.

” Buga! You came with a half dead? ”

” he’s the curious type ” Buga said. ” this is Ishmael. He’s one of the few that can see us. Tell him whatsoever you want to tell your folks. He has been my link to life. ”

” please.. Tell my mother not to cry for me. That I will come back to her soon. ” I said.

” you will have to pay” Ishmael said in a coaxed voice.

I laughed and said.

“How can a I pay you,? you know it’s impossible ”

” nothing is impossible. You are what you think ” the man said.

” ok. How much? ” I asked to avoid argument.

” Five hundred coins ” I was shocked. ” why coins I asked? ”

Bugs laughed and said.

“he needs it after life”

” are you ready or not? ” the old man asked impatiently.

” if I part with that much, how can I survive here since all spirit talk about is coin ?”

” you are not dead yet, you may rise up anytime, so what do you need it for? ” the old man asked.

” what if I die?! ”

I turned to Buga and said.

” let’s talk about the boy” .

He smiled and opened his palm.

” how much ?!” I asked.

” just 10 coins. Am not greedy ” he shrugged smiling.

I counted ten coins and gave to him. He smiled and said

“let’s go!”.
