Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 116

“is it not you? You are the Mike that has been giving us problems?” Said the guy who young man from earlier wielding aimlessly at me.

I was confused, i couldn’t find an exit to this situation, in fact, there were at an advantage over me. I then decided to liaise with them perhaps i could reason some sense into them not to kill me.

“come one bro. You guys don’t have to do this, look, i can cross carpet to your gang. You know am a material. Come on guys, it’s a waste to waste a material”.

They looked at me as if trying to concur with my suggestion, all of a sudden came an out burst of nefarious laughter that sent tears down their eyes. And they were done, the other said.

“Who told you that you’re a material? stop flattering yourself old Mike”

“We are wasting time here,take him down!” Said the young man.

The other guy was about shooting me when someone called my name, I looked around but didn’t see anyone. The person called again, and i woke up and found Candy shaking my shoulder, we were waiting at the park”s reception waiting for mums bus to get filled up

“Mike! what kind of sleep are you sleeping in this hot weather? Mum is about leaving”. Candy said.

I was so happy it was all a dream, i stood up feeling awfully tired. I dragged my feet to the bus where Ruth stood talking with mum from the window. I joined them and mum turned to me when she saw me.

“Mike, i hope you don’t get yourself killed while you are here? I don’t know why you have refused to come with me”. mum said almost in tears.

“Mummy, calm down. I am not going to get myself killed, I’ll join you next month”. I said, not so sure anymore if i meant it due to the dream i just had.

Mum turned to Ruth and said.

“My daughter, I already see you as my daughter in law. Please take care of Mike, you know he can be a man sometimes, you are a woman, God has given us power to subdue men. Please make use of that power, he is still a kid, even though he looks all big and muscular, there’s nothing in that head of his……”

“Mum! stop this nau”. I said feeling she was trying hard to emasculate me.

Mum looked at me with contempt in her eyes and continued.

“You’re his mother now. I’ll call you everyday to make sure he’s okay. His father is going to kill me if he founds out i came alone, Mike will not kill me”. Mum said and shook his head.

“It’s okay mum, i have learnt how to handle him”. Ruth said smiling, looking shyly at me.

They were still talking when an announcement on the departure of Cameroon Bus was announced. Ruth quickly hugged mum through the window and we moved backwards, while we all waved her goodbye watching as the driver engaged the engine and drove off.

When the bus was out of sight, Candy said.

“who’s hungry?”

My mind quickly flashed back to the dream and said almost immediately.

“Am not!”

“Am famished!”. Ruth said.

“Can i have the keys to the house?” I asked stretching my palms towards Ruth.

The girls looked at me shocked. Then Ruth smiled sympathetically hugging me.

“he’s missing his mum” Ruth said kissing my cheek.

I gently took her hands off me and asked for the key again. She handed me the key and requested to follow me home but i refused, telling her i needed some time alone to think about my life.

I arrived Ruth’s place feeling grateful. I sat on the couch and closed my eyes to reflect on that horrible dream, and someone called my name. I shot out of the chair and looked behind me abruptly, but no one was there. I knew i had to deal with Sandra’s continues pester. i needed to know why she has been hunting me, and so i summoned courage and said.

“who’s that? Sandra, is that you? I was pacing into the thin air.

“Mike!” The voice came gain.

I jumped, looking all over for the direction the voice was coming from.

“Sandra stop this! if you want to tell me something please do so and stop this!” I yelled.

And the i saw her standing in the air, she looked, fairer and transparent in white. Her hair and gown flew with the wind which was not evident in the room.

I was so surprise that i wasn’t afraid anymore when i saw her.

“Sandra” I said.

She smiled and called my name again”Mike!”.

i slowly walked towards her but she stopped me from coming further.

“I miss you”. i said.

She fawned and looked at the couch i and Ruth was made out. Then she said now in a serious tone.

“Mike, i have been trying to reach you coz only you can see me”.

I was shocked to hear this, and so i asked.

“why?”

“your heart is strongest enough to breakthrough the other side” She said.

“Who killed you” I asked.

I face became droopy as she hung in the air looking at me. She was about telling me when she looked behind her and disappeared.

“Sandra! Sandra!” I called looking for her around the sitting room.

A knock came on the door and i ran to get it thinking perhaps it’s Sandra, i opened the door and said “Sandra” excitedly, to to meet John. He was surprise to see me and he said.

“I believe this is Ruths house?”

I nodded and kept a confused stair at me. He looked past me into the house and asked.

“where’s Ruth?”

“She wen’t out”. I said.

” To where?” He asked.

“I don’t know”. I said.

“when is she coming back?” he asked.

“i don’t know”. I said.

We were still talking and the sound of the gate pervaded the air followed by Ruth and Candy’s voices. John looked towards the direction and waited.

Ruth saw him standing in front of her house and i beside him, she quickly walked closer believing something was wrong.

“Good afternoon sir” Ruth greeted.

“good afternoon young lady, Are you Ruth?” John asked.

The two sisters looked at each other simultaneously and back to him.

“Yes i am”. Ruth answered circumspectly.

“where are you coming from?” John asked.

“I wen’t to see his mum off”. Ruth said pointing at me still wearing a perplexed countenance.

John looked at me and penned something down, then brought out his ID card and showed it to Candy who had been quietly observing behind Ruth and to Ruth, and said.

“I am inspector John” He said and kept it from in his wallet and shove it in his back trouser pocket. “can we go inside? i have some questions for you?”.

“I did not kill anyone oh”. Ruth said in panic.

John looked at her in shock and said.

“who is talking about you killing someone? i said i have some questions for you”.

We all walked in and sat in the sitting room. I was afraid Ruth will mess up because she was completely over taken by fear and nervousness.
