My Madam And I - S01 E129

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 129

We arrived a little past 2 pm. The place was not all that fetish, and that reminded me of the professional one Jacky took me to. And that reminds me, the name of my neighbour is Koko. I keep wondering what that name meant, it was a kinda nick name that took over his real name. I don’t even know his tea name.

A boy was at the reception with files and a big note in front of him. A long bench was at the boys side and was occupied by two fat women. A standing fan blew some distance away by the wall and directly on top hung a 14 inches TV, showing a local dialect program.

I and Koko greeted everyone and sat beside the two women. The boy gave us a form to fill but first demanded for consultation fee of 1000. I paid and filled in my information, but not with my real name.

The second fat lady stood up and my face stared at her well-structured huge behind. I didn’t know I had undressed her in my head until Koko whispered to me.

” you like fat ones?”.

I felt embarrassed and looked away.

Soon she was out and we were next. The office was a little bit better than reception. It had an office table, two chairs in front of the old traditionally dressed man. A long bench by the wall, a cabinet with herbal medicines, then behind the man whom apparently was the voodoo man were some fetish calabash, white clothe, few cowries, a statue of an old man with staff and a small local stool.

He welcomed us and offered us a sit. And then he asked us to say what we wanted while he chewed on something, maybe kola nut.

I told him I always have problems and I wanted protection.

The man suddenly looked still. He then turned to me and said.

” why did you bring a ghost here?”

I immediately knew what he meant, but I still turned abruptly behind me but saw nothing. Koko seemed to be in a state of suppressed petrification.

” what do you want?”. The man asked looking behind me. ” I don’t allow ghost here, go or I’ll deal with you!” He yelled.

And immediately he bent under his table, brought a broom and a leaf. Started incarnation moving towards the direction he was looking. I was scared and so was Koko. He wielded the broom towards the direction and threw the leaf towards same direction, paused and looked around his office as if looking for something. Then returned to his sit praising himself.

“You said you wanted protection?’’. The voodoo man asked.

I nodded my acknowledgement and he went behind his seat and sat on the small stool like nothing happened some few minutes ago.

He began with incantations and threw some cowries on the white clothe before the statue. Then called.

“Young man”.

I stood up abruptly out of fear and went to join him.

He ignored my presence and continued his incantations. Suddenly he stopped and looked at one of the cowries lying on the white sheet.

“Spit on this”. The voodoo man said pointing at the cowry slightly apart from the rest.

I bent over and spat on the cowry. He took it up immediately with other cowries, shook it between his two palms reciting some incantations, and then threw it back on the white sheets. Paused and looked critically at them.

“Who is Amaka?’’ he asked, still looking at the cowries before him.

“She’s my….. use to be my boss”. i said.

“She’s carrying doom between her legs”. He added, frowning.

I looked at Koko’s curious face and back to the voodoo man.

“What do you mean by doom between her legs?” I asked.

He abruptly started singing in a loud tone and that startled me. Again he stopped suddenly.

“Hmmm….my son! You are lucky to be alive”. He said, took up dry wood and started flogging the statue while reciting an incantation. He again stopped suddenly, looked up to me sharply and said.

“You will prepare for a spiritual bath!”.

Then he stood up and sat on his seat, took a sheet of paper, spent some time writing and calculating. When he was done he handed it over to me. I looked at the long list which read:

Two native soaps 200 each

Two white native cork 4000 each

Two yellow candles 1000 each

Two matured male turtle 4000 each

Two white matured male and female vultures 8000 each

Two thousand cowries 5000

Two ostrich eggs 23000 each

Two chimpanzee’s sculls 17800 each

Two cobra heads 3000 each

Two lions tooth 10400 each

Two gorilla’s male organs 30000 each

And service charge of 100,000.

Total =407800

When I saw the total I let out a little scream

‘poo!”

Koko took the note from me and raised his eye brawls after reading.

“if you can’t find all the materials you can bring the money”. The voodoo man said.

I looked at Koko with a signal to leave. And we simultaneously stood up and promised to return.

“You better don’t take too long, I see death hovering around your head. Money is nothing compared to life”.

I reassured him that I’d return as soon as I get the money. And so we left for home.

On our way out Koko asked.

“who’s Amaka?’’.

I didn’t know if to ignore the question or answer it, in the end I found myself saying.

“I use to work for her”.

Koko looked at me surprised with a hand over his opened mouth.

“you been bleeping your boss!” Koko said laughing.

I nudged him with a sense of suppressed pride. And so we headed home on a commercial bike.

Some few distance away from my house, around my street, Koko who sat in the middle of the bike spotted someone, and he pointed me towards the direction.

“That’s one of the guys I told you about”. Koko said.

The strange guy was with two other guys I hardly recognized any. They were at the local joint Jacky died smoking and looking around intensively. I quickly told the bike man to turn around and he did. Maybe they spotted us, coz when I turned my back they were looking at us regretfully.

“What is really going on?” Koko asked as the bike zoomed off.

“Don’t mind them”. I replied.

“I think you need to get that money and do the needful”. Koko added.

I nodded, and we stopped at a bar far from my zone. After we had settled, I ordered two bottles of beer and we were getting rid of it when a girly looking guy in a pink body huge wide open neck, and tight purple jean, earrings on both ears and a bull ring on his nose, his hair was cut low and sprayed gold approached our table, his presence called our attention as we both looked at him wondering what he wanted.

“Mike?” he asked in a feminine demeanor.

I and Koko exchanged glances. I wondered if to accept or not. And so I said.

“what about Mike?”

He looked at the adjacent direction and pointed towards same direction. We followed his gesture and there Thomas sat with a bottle of red wine waving at me smiling. I turned to the guy and said.

“Tell him to Bleep himself with his rod, and when he’s done”. I faced the guy and continued,” he should Bleep the poo out of you, I don’t. but if he ever steps where I am, that his fine shirt will be covered in his own blood”. And I took my attention of him to my beer.

The guy walked away feeling embarrassed. Koko folded his hands looking perplexed.

“You got trouble bro”. koko said and drank from his bottle. “where are you going to put up since our house isn’t safe for you?” koko asked after he dropped his bottle.

“Don’t worry about me”. I replied.

Koko later left and I went back to Ruths. She wasn’t at home when I arrived, save Candy. As usual, she welcomed me well and offered me a very delicious fried rice. I ate to my satisfaction and sat back enjoying a musical on TV when I heard some people laughing. I looked towards the direction and recognized Ruths voice. She was apparently with a guy.

And so I went to eavesdrop on their conversation.

“you made my evening Sam” Ruth said.

“It’s nothing, I love being in the company of a beautiful woman like yourself”. The guy said.

“Come one, am not that beautiful”. Ruths voice sounded as one blushing.

“You’re. in fact, let me not lie to you, you’re the first pretty woman I have been with”. The guy said.

Ruth laughed and said.

“You are so good with words”.

I wasn’t comfortable anymore, but I managed to control my temper and put my ears closer to the door.

“Mike! Who’s that?” Candy called.

I was startled by her call and turned towards her abruptly.

“It’s nothing” I said going back to my seat.

I hardly have settled on my seat when the door opened and Ruth walked in with a fair handsome guy, they were both laughing.

She paused when she saw me, and she said.

“Mike! You are here”.

I could see a hint of pride on her face when she saw how angry I looked.

I just shrugged to her question and took a quick glance at the guy who was something to look at. A clean low cut and perfectly groomed beards. His huge arms were evident in his starched white sleeve top. One thing I hated about him was his red lips and perfect pointed nose. He was a true rival. And I moved my attention swiftly to the TV.

“hey handsome!” Candy greeted.

He went over to huge her and they both exchanged few pleasantries, before Ruth cut in.

“This is Mike, a friend of the family, Mike this is Sam”. Ruth introduced us.

The guy moved forward and hand a handshake with me. His hands where big and soft. I felt so horrible inside but kept my cool.

“Nice meeting you Mike” he said.

And I smiled and nodded. Ruth immediately took him inside the house laughing. I looked at Candy in a ‘what is this nonsense’ look. She just shrugged and hid her face.
