My Madam And I - S01 E131

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 131

That was the welcome party the compound i packed into gave me. At least it was just money they took.

That very night, at about 3 am police had arrived. They investigated every room and shocked to notice that there was no forceful entry into mine, my body was without bruise unlike everyone else and my property was intact. That made me an interest.

After series of questioning, they left me alone. All the time i answered their questions, i made sure that i skipped anything that will or may implicate me, the address to my house inclusive. I only let out Ruth’s address and that was the only valid information i gave.

That night was a black night; it was a massacre. About three males and two females were killed that night. Protectors where destroyed save mine. Tears filled the air; even neighbors came out that night to sympathize with us and mostly with the bereaved.

The next morning, after i managed to steal a nap, i was woken by the noise outside. Behold, i ran back when i saw different sets of journalist moving about the compound with their cameras and microphones. I quickly went in and hopped into a pair of jean, t shirt and a face cap. Came out to observe an escape route. They seem to be everywhere videoing the damages. I quickly spotted a man pointing towards my me to a press man with an active camera man behind him. I was fast to back them before the camera faced my direction. And immediately started towards the backyard.

“Hell! Hello!” Someone called from behind.

I ignored and increased my pace. Luckily for me there was a small exit at the backyard, I followed it and disappeared.

My phone rang on my way out, and it was one of my cult brothers calling. I ignored it and headed to an amusement center not far from my new house to waste time.

“Hello”. A man in his 50’s called my attention.

I assessed him if he would give me trouble. After screening through is traditional attire and his innocent matured face that had family troubles written all over it, i decided to give him audience.

“Can i seat?” He asked.

I looked at the long bench that wasn’t mine and wondered why he needed my permission to sit. So i nodded and moved a little to create more space for him, perhaps he may want lie down.

He sat and looked at me like someone who needed something. And then he said.

“My brother, can you imagine? I was going to a nearby town early this morning and two boys accosted me. They seemed to be asking for help, i was about lending them a helping hand before they attacked me. They carted away with my belongings”. He bent his face in a pitiful way and continued. “My brother, my wife is in labor right now at the hospital, i don’t have a dime on me. Please help me, anything my brother”.

All the while he was talking; i was waiting for him to conclude with the last phrase he used. Meanwhile i had prepared my own response which was very true, and i said.

“Sir, am very sorry. I would have assisted you but….”

I saw how his expectant face changed to a disappointed look. I didn’t bother, and so i continued.

” i was robbed this morning. About five persons were killed. My money, the only money on me they took also. As am talking to you right now, My brother, i have nothing on me. I even thought i would ….”.

I hadn’t finished and he hissed, stood up and walked away. In my heart i said. ‘come and take money!’.

I was at the park till noon. I had not even a dime on me, and so i decided to make withdrawals at a nearby bank. I was almost out of the amusement center when i saw an aggressive man assaulting the man i met earlier. I looked away and continued, it wasn’t my business after all. But the sound of a hot slap called my attention. Something in me wanted me to help, but i needed to avoid trouble. And so i walked on, but when the group with the aggressive man joined in the beating and the man cried out loud saying “My wife is in labor oh, that’s why am begging, i did not steal oh, i only begged oh”. i was moved with compassion and decided to intervene.

“Stop! Stop!” i said shielding the man with my body.

I had received some blows before they stopped.

“Get out of here! if i ever see you here again!” The aggressive man yelled. “That’s how they go around deceiving people”. He added and walked away with his group.

I turned to scold the man but stopped when i saw him crying. A little Crowd had gathered already. Some came to sympathize with him, giving him some change, while others threw abuses.

A very strong part of me wanted to help him now. I tapped him on the shoulder and said.

“It’s okay, follow me.”

He followed me to a nearby bank, and after withdrawing, i gave him 5000. He was over joy and prayed for me. I kept telling myself that he is real, but when the negative thought came to speak against it, i convinced myself that i helped a man in need, it could be me, it could be anyone.

I was going home when a regular girl stopped me from across the road. I stopped and assessed her as she crossed over to meet up with me. She wasn’t pretty a bit, maybe because she was modestly dressed in a faded yellow gown and her hair, unprofessionally groomed. I waited anyways, to hear what she wanted to say at least.

“Hi, my name is Easter. Do you know that man?” She asked.

“No”. I said, and made to leave, she called me back.

“That was very brave of you, what if they had injured you?” she said with much admiration in her tone.

i smiled and replied.

“What is life if we don’t help others”.

i was about leaving, again she called me back.

“Hey! Are you in a hurry?”

I wondered what else she wanted to say, but managed to say.

“Yes, i am in a hurry”

“What’s your name?” she asked and smiled.

That was when i noticed her perfect sets of white teeth gaped in the middle, and her big white eyes. I hesitated before saying.

“My name is mike”.

She shook hands with me and immediately led the way towards my direction.

“Do you live around here?” She asked smiling.

“No”. I lied.

“I stay just there”. She pointed towards the direction to my house. “What are you doing around here?” she asked looking at my face.

“I came to see a friend”. I lied.

“Oh, you have a friend around here? I may know him, where does he live?” She asked with keen interest.

“Down that road”. I said pointing the opposite direction.

She stopped at the route leading to my house and pointed a fine upstairs few buildings away from mine, and said smiling.

“That’s where i live”.

“Okay, see you later then”. I said and was about leaving when she called my name.

“Mike!”

I turned abruptly and she smiled and asked looking into my eyes.

“What’s my name?”

I had completely forgotten her name, i searched through my head and something that sounds like her name popped up.

“Calister!”

She frowned and acted offended.

“i remembered yours and you have forgotten mine so soon?”.

I felt bad and apologized.

“Let me have your number so you won’t have to forget my name anymore”. She said.

I never wanted to have anything to do with her, but now i had made her feel bad, i needed to compensate, against the first idea of giving her a wrong number. I gave her my real number, she dialed the line and when it rang she smiled and said.

“My name is Easter”.

With that she waved me goodbye and walked down my street. It was then i noticed she really had a great backside, as it bounced through her gown. I took my mind off it, after i assumed it would be dirty and smelly and focused on how to deal with a new found problem. I am talking about Easter.

Okay, i took the other street three times the distance to my house just to avoid Easter. And when i got back, the press men were gone. But something made me feel uncomfortable. My compound people whom am yet to be acquainted with gave me this stiff stare that was so apparent they were suspecting me to have a hand in the previous episode.

I greeted them but just two responded out of the many who sat outside.

Now look, my compound was built in such a way that every room had its own balcony both front and back. It is a 14 room house. 7 rooms faced each other with a big space between them, so that everyone would mind his or her business.

But that day, my perception of the house seems to be false, as everyone seem to be one family except me.

I gently put on my face cap properly and walked pass them after shutting the gate. Somebody murmured something as i walked pass, a lady jumped to her feet and screamed in tears.

“If anyone has a hand in my husband’s death, that person….”. They pulled her down and she continued crying.

I stopped, turned and went to the lady crying. When i reached where she was, i bent down ignoring everyone’s piercing eyes on me.

“Madam I am really sorry for your loss. It will not be well with anyone who did this. I have seen how the wicked are punished, some are buried in shallow graves, and some burnt alive. Worse death will meet them, i assure you that ma”. I said, and went straight to my room.

I managed to avoid everyone. Good thing I bought stuff before coming home, at least I needed not to go out till the next day.

Koko called to inform me of Zika’s boys harassing them. He said they attacked the compound asking after me. Luckily no one knows where I stay. He begged me to do the cleansing and promised to beg the voodoo man to accept a lesser payment coz he is concerned for me. Which am aware he’s concerned about himself. I promised to meet him up at the bar we met Thomas the other day.

And so I stepped out the next day, feeling grateful that the compound was deserted. On stepping out of the gate, my eyes caught this sexy girl that was walking ahead of me in a jean bum short that gave her full round buttocks a scrumptious appeal and her full straight legs were something to look at. Her netted gray crop top emphasized the slimness of her waist with her long braided hair dangling across her buttocks. And all these made my heart skipped a beat.

I quickly walked faster to catch up with her. She was really a good walker, I was completely drooling underneath my pants.

When I got close to her, I said.

“Who is this marvelous work of art that want to give me a heart attack so early”.

She turned abruptly and asked.

“What?’’

When I saw her face she appeared familiar. I was trying to place it when she smiled. I wondered if she knew me from somewhere.

“Mike!” she said grinning widely.

Her gaped white teeth and big bold eyes gave me the hint; Easter!

She was looking so attractive that morning, though not so facially beautiful but attractive. She wore no make up yet got my attention completely. Easter really has a killer body.
