Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 31
Easter Sunday soon arrived and
as usual all my family went to
church in high spirit in the
knowledge of the significance of
Christ’s death and resurrection to
mankind. The Pastor spoke
extensively on the topic ‘Do not
crucify Him the second time’. He
kept hammering on the need for
us to flee from all manner of evil.
His emphasis was much on
fornication as if he knew what
would happen to one of his flock
later same day. Apparently
ignorant of what awaited me, I
even helped to urge him to go on
with some ‘ride on Pastor…
Speak the word Sir’ shouts that is
typical of a pentecostal
gathering. Soon the service came
to an end with the recitation of
‘The Grace’ in unison by all the
members.
.
.
We arrived home at about ten
minutes past twelve in the
midday and mum proceeded into
the kitchen to finish up with the
Easter delicacies since our house
is always full of visitors during
festive seasons while my dad and
I sat in the parlour watching his
favorite Osita Osadebe’s video
with the music blazing in the
background. We had our family
get together lunch because my
sisters and their kids came from
their husbands houses to
celebrate with us. It was a full
house as all came with goodies
in foods and gifts. Not long
visitors started trooping in
making the house more ‘lively’
albeit a little uncomfortable for
my personality and that was
when I excused myself to go and
have my ‘ME’ time with any of
Bethel or Ifeoma.
.
.
I had just finished wearing my
shoes when my phone rang, I
picked it up and saw it was
‘Bethel MTN’ that was showing
on the screen.
.
”Hello B, happy easter… How’s
your day going?” I asked as soon
as the call got connected.
”Wish you all the best… My day is
not fine o. Am lonely here!”
Bethel responded from the other
end.
”Hmmm, today of all days. So
what do you want us to do
about it na?” I asked though
knowing exactly what the reply
would look like.
”I thought we agreed that you’ll
take me out today. Jennifer and
her boyfriend have already gone
out since,” she replied with her
usual attitude of comparing our
relationship with any of her
friends’.
”Ok then, just dress up and meet
me at Ngwa Road by Mosque. I’ll
be there in the next twenty
minutes,” I replied before we
said goodbyes.
.
.
After the call I picked up my
wallet, took a peep into it and
instantly felt sad. Inside it was
just a thousand and hundred
naira. I had used nine hundred
naira to buy my guys four bottles
of beer and a bottle of malt for
myself the previous day. ”Chei, na
one thousand hundred naira I
wan use take girl out on an
easter sunday?” I weeped. To
make matters worse, it’s Bethel
not Ifeoma. Had it been Ifeoma
then I won’t be bothered
because we would just order for
two bottles of malt (#200), ‘dry’
meat (#400), two bottled water
(#200) and then her transport
back home(#200) thereby having
all expenses sum to one
thousand naira. But this Bethel
won’t dare take malt. She had
once complained it affects her
menstrual ‘bla bla bla’ and since
then she had always requested
for not just a bottle but two
bottles of ‘shine shine bobo’.
.
.
I was still in deep thoughts
contemplating whether to shift
my plans from Bethel to Ifeoma
when my dad emerged. He saw
me all dressed up yet standing
with hands akimbo and, I guess,
he instantly understood my
predicament because he simply
dipped his hands into his pocket
and handed me a few naira
notes which I collected without
counting.
”Thanks dad, you’re the best,” I
said thankfully.
”You’re welcome. Go and have
fun but be careful and make sure
you come back early,” my dad
adviced.
.
.
I quickly counted the money
when he left. ”Jeez, wow, two
thousand naira! Just like that” I
shouted with heart full of joy.
”Baba God, abeg bless and keep
dis man for me o” I prayed with
all my heart. Money indeed makes
a man because there was this
confidence that overwhelmed me
once the money got into my
wallet. ”Bethel, here I come!” I
concluded as I dashed out to our
meeting point.
.
.
I got to Ngwa Road by Mosque
junction and met Bethel already
waiting for me with a frown. I
apologized to her for keeping
her waiting and then I flagged
down an Okada man. We climbed
and immediately proceeded to
City Hotels which is situated
beside Etche Road field. Luckily
we got a spot, settled down and
then made our orders. Bethel
requested for a bottle of star
while I went for my usual malt. In
addition, I also requested for two
chicken laps to be chopped into
sizeable chunks for us. In
contrast to what the season
signified, the whole place was
agog with people smoking,
dancing and some lovers stealing
touches and kisses at intervals.
We chatted with mouthful of
meat and drink. After about an
hour, Bethel requested for
another bottle of star while I was
still sipping my one bottle of malt.
It was getting a bit dark already
and the place was getting
naughtier as the darkness kind
of shadowed the acts going on
amongst lovers. I don’t know
whether it’s the drink or the
romantic scenerio or both
combined that made Bethel move
her sit closer to mine, placed her
hands on my laps and then
whispered into my ears ”Spain, I
feel like having sêx o”.
My ears instantly stood like an
enraged little chihuahua while
my eyes lit up.
.
.
”So wetin you wan make I do
na?” I stupidly asked.
”Mtscheew” she hissed before
withdrawing from me.
”O boy, make I no misuse this
opportunity o” I said to myself
before I stood up and walked
over to the counter to make
enquiries.
Fortunatety, there was still some
rooms unoccupied at the
moment. I quickly paid for an
hour since it was already dark,
collected the keys with trembling
hands as the room service guy
led me to the available room. I
came back after I had surveyed
the room to make sure it was not
only clean but also free from
hidden cameras, lol. Without
saying a word, I took Bethel by
the hands and led her to room
number seven (7) where it all
happened.

Watch out for the funny, silly and
annoying events that took place
inside the room…
