Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 25

I pleaded with him but he turn deaf ears to my pleadings. I head back to the market in search of a place to sleep but I found non, so I spent the night with Ewatomi under the bridge, the cold was much but I cover her with all the cloth to prevent her from having cold. I couldn’t sleep all the night, I was scared of the unknown but God watch over us and nothing bad happens to us.

The following morning I was able to secure an affordable room apartment at the rate of one thousand naira per month. It wasn’t a good place but its better than sleeping under the bridge. I continue my pusher business and within a month I become popular and most people do prefer me to any other pusher . Ewatomi was a blessing to me cos I do get extra money because of her. Little do I know that have started to have enemies. Since most people prefer me to any other pusher, I began having enemies among the others.

I was challenged by one of the pusher one day, he name was dragon. People do call him dragon because of his eyes which were as red as a fire.

Dragon : hey you stop there.

Me: are you talking me?

Dragon : no na your father. Idiot.

Me: am sorry I didn’t know.

Dragon : don’t follow me speak English abeg no be only you go school.

Me : OK sir. Can I go?

Dragon : Abi sango want to kill you ni? I dey follow you talk you wan dey waka. Koni da fun e.

Me: am sorry.

Dragon : I just wan warn you ni ooo.

Me: am I in trouble ?

Dragon : since you join this business, you don spoil all business for us. Abi you dey use our Glory ni?

Me: no sir

Dragon : make you hear wela, you don dey pass your boundaries, if you no give your self brain you will regret joining this business. Now leave my sight.

I quickly move away from him as my leg could carry me. After the day break I returned back home with Ewatomi, I noticed that Ewatomi has been crying more than the usual the whole day and she hardly eat the food I gave her. When I got home I bath for her and I found out that her body temperature is high. On observing this I quickly rush her to the hospital. We got to the hospital and a nurse attended to her. After waiting for anout 20 minutes she came out.

Nurse : are you the father of Ewatomi?

Me: yes I am.

Nurse : you daughter is suffering from a maleria fever, but what took you so long to bring her here.

Me : am sorry nurse, I didn’t notice when I should have.

Nurse: where is her mother.

Me: hmm… She left us.

Nurse : Ehya some women are so wicked.

Me: thank you so how is she feeling?.

Nurse : she will be fine just pay your bill and always bring her here every evening for check up.

Me: OK, thank you.

I pay the bills and Ewatomi was discharged. I take her back home and use the drugs prescribed for her to use. I wasn’t good at nursing a baby, Ewatomi was my first so I have to adjust and learn fast.

My daily business continues, I was able to save alot of money and buy a wheel barrow of my own. But something terrible happened one day. Normally after the day work, there is a place where I do pack my wheel barrow. Then I will pick it up the following day. I arrived at where I do pack my wheel barrow and I found some goods, hide under the wheel barrow, I approached it and I found some expensive jewelries and wrist watch. Am very sure someone stole it and hide it under my wheel barrow, I turned back to call for help but I found two police men standing behind me.

” excuse me sir, I found this goods under my wheel barrow and I don’t know how it got there” I said. One of the police officer stared at me in furry and said.

” will you shut up you thieve!!! We have caught you today. You are under arrest ” before I could speak a word I saw Dragon laughing loudly at me. And before I knew it, I was being surrounded by crowd and they began calling me a thieve. Dragon led a gang of some street thugs and they began making false accusations on me. Doing this process, someone collected Ewatomi from my back, I tried to stop that person but the person quickly disappear into the crowd. Dragon gave a sign and I was beating by the surrounding crowd.

” let burn him alive” dragon said and a tyre was being fetch for.
