Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 3

Three.

The huntsmen had not come into the market for the past six months and oga solo became the watchman just three weeks ago, something was not right.

“Nne Jessica” osas called, madam Jessica turned, ” why were you so curious about him?”

“Nne uka”, I am leaving”,she said avoiding the question.

“Your beans?” Mama uka asked

“Beans?”, Madam Jessica turned only her neck, “with all that just happened, I and my household needs to forget about food and embark on sixty days and sixty night fasting and prayers”, she expressed with her fingers.

Osas was still staring at oga solo.

“And you”, mama uka shouted at osas, he got startled ,” what are you looking at, prepare everything let’s go home”.

Osas came in still wondering how oga solo didn’t make a move, or did he make a move, hefty men with charms and knifes and guns, looking for heads and body parts patrolled the market for four hours.

A part of him wanted to walk up to oga solo but fear had taken over, he was even scared to mention his name, he dare not say a word about it to his mother, she didn’t believe in strange things, he had not heard from his father for the past one year, it either his number was switched off or it didn’t exist.

Mama uka didn’t allow any of the incidents of the day to bother her, who were the huntsmen, what can they do, her God is bigger than theirs, as for the case of oga solo, she felt he was shy and preferred to be alone or he has serious family issues that was bothering him or maybe he suffered a stroke.

Her mind flashed back;

When oga solo came newly, she asked, “what is your name?”

“Solomon”, he said standing like the statue of liberty, not smiling, he only blinked.

“Where are you from”, he was asked.

“Solomon”, he said his name again, still standing like the soldiers of black hat, red shirt, guarding the Queen’s palace.

“Where do you live?” He was asked again

He still repeated Solomon, like a remote controlled doll.

Maybe he is a very secretive person, mama uka threw away negative thoughts and took her night rest.

Osas woke up to pee, the curtains were open and lights were switched on, when he realized that his dirty underwear were hung, visible to outsiders, most especially pretty girls, he quickly got up to close them.

When he got to the window, he saw oga solo sitting down outside.

“JESUS!” He exclaimed as he fainted.
