My neighbor’s daughters - S01 E16

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 16

I informed simi and my spirit friend Dotun about my plan. And they both promise to be on a look out. The next day, I clad myself on a black jean and a black t-shirt. I put on my black face cap and my sun shade. I won’t need my pistol but I take it along anyway in case of “incasity”. I asked her to meet me around 1pm. but I waited till around 2:30 before showing up. I have to be sure she’s alone. I entered the chicken republic, I saw her sitting closely to the window. I saw an empty chair opposite to her, so I sat on it then requested for a chill cola. I was there for about 10 minutes surveying the atmosphere. I can see simi sitting on one of the chair and Dotun was standing right behind me. After am sure everything is in order then I turn to her. She was shocked to see me. Its just as if she see a ghost.

She: I thought you were dead.

Me: yes I am. **** she wanted to scream but I systematic point my gun at her****

Me: I won’t hurt you, but if you provoke me, I will definitely use my gun. Understood?

She: yes sir.

Me: all I want from you is very simple.

She: wha..a..a..at?

Me: I know who you are working for. She: who?

Me: don’t play smart with me!!.

She: okay sir.

Me: I want you to switch side and start working for me now.

She: how do you mean?

Me: I know you are working for black jagaban. The leader of “black eagle”. Ain’t you?

She: yes I am sir.

Me: very good. I want to bring him to justice, and I want you to help me do that.

She: am not sure if I can do that, he is very powerful, he have a lot of charm. He will definitely know when I switch sides.

Me: you don’t have to worry about that. His charm only works on mortals. Am a spirit. I belong to the dead world.

She: so what should I do now.

Me: I want you to be my spy. Bring me every necessary information that will definitely bring him behind bars.

She: ok… But how will I contact you.

Me: I will contact you. *** I quickly signal to Dotun to read her mind. After some minute he said to me that she’s planing in her mind to tell black jagaban of our conversation***

Me: do you realize you are speaking with a spirit. I can read your mind. You tell anything to jagaban and you are dead before dawn.

The choice is yours. I guess she didn’t see that coming. I finished my cola then take my leave. it took a lot of self restrain for me not to have burst out laughing when dotun said. “spirit indeed. Na only your spirit, I see wey dey drink Coca-Cola ” I got home around 4pm I checked my phone and I see 41 missed calls. I checked it, 40 were from clara and the remaining one was from Grace. My heart skiped a beat when I saw the missed call from grace. I quickly call her back and she picked on the first diai.

Me: hello grace

She: hello

Me: how have you been? You got me worried.

She: am okay *** after the normal talks then I shifted the conversation to “hitting the nail on the head”***

Me: grace, I want you to know that you have been my source of joy, but lately I have been having a troubled mind. All my thought are on you. I can’t concentrate anymore. And I meant all I said to you the last time we talked. I love you grace, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. *** she didn’t answer, instead I heard her sobing***

Me: please why are you crying, have I said anything that hurt you?.

She: Ay we can’t be together. I have my reasons and my reasons are known to me.

Me: is it about the age difference? I certainly don’t mind.

She: Ayo you can’t understand .

Me: then make me understand .or do you have someone you are dating.

She: no…

Me: so what’s holding you back then. Say yes and let me be the happiest guy on earth.

She: I can’t say yes. Then she ended the call. I called her back but her line was off. The love I have for this girl was so great, it can’t be measured by any instrument. The inter molecular force that hold my love for her was far greater than meltalic bonding. **** ***** **** ****** ****** ******* *******

Now am in full control of nurse titi, she started providing me all the evidence I needed in bringing black jagaban behind bars. But I still need a very rigid one, cos I know once black jagaban is being arrested every other members will follow suite. I was under the mango tree, my regular spot with dotun. We were both having some conversation when I spotted juliet. I waved at her and she advanced towards our direction. She greeted me ignoring dotun. Am sure she don’t want people to think that she’s also mad like me. She warned me to stay away from dotun. “spirit are very dangerous , they are capable of a lot of things you don’t know” She said. “well juliet, friendship is base on trust and that man over there, I trust him, even if he’s dead.” I said. She tried to convince me, but I hold still on my defense. She later joined the conversation. We get along so easily and she promise to pay me a visit one day. I left the mango tree and head to the library. I met clara on my way. “Ayo where have you been, I have searched everywhere for you” .she said. One thing about clara, I never for once imagine she can change totally like that. I began to like her somehow, but I still hate her the most. I didn’t tell her any of my secret, Even though she has reveal every of her secret to me and also her flaws. I can’t say that am having feelings for her, But she’s a kind of girl to be cherished with love. I asked about her boyfriend and she told me her break up story. Its touching though. Well I didn’t have a break up story or stories, I have always been a bad boy.

Days passed, and things goes as I planned. Samson called me one afternoon saying that clara is being admitted at the school health center. I quickly drop all am doing I raced to the school health center. When I got there I saw nurse titi attending to an ill person. I gave her a wink then head to clara ward. I saw her drinking gari, she once told me gari isn’t a food for the poor. “How are you dear, I rush down here as soon as I receive the call from samson about you being admitted” I said. “That’s so sweet of you dear, its just a malaria fever and am getting better” she said. “get well soon dear ” I said. “I can get well now only if you promise to take me on a date ” she said with a baby grin. I smile before replying her. “it’s seems that gari is alcoholic, cos you are saying rubbish. Don’t worry, I will fix you with John. He’s huge” I replied. Not long a doctor came in, he looks familiar but I didn’t recall where I know him. Then all of a sudden I heard him saying “hey its good to see you again, and you left the other day without dropping your contact” the doctor said. Now I remember him, he was the doctor that spoke with me the night I brought clara to the hospital. I started giving him signal to stop talking but before I could stop him, he has already called a spade a spade. ” Clara how did you meet him? I thought you said you are still looking for him? he was the guy that brought you here the day you were attacked” he said looking at clara. “Oh shit!!! ” I muttered. My gaze met with clara, I can see some cloud of tears forming in her eyes. “Ayo is it true? Are you the one I have been searching for… all this while?” she asked with tears rolling down her eyes. I didn’t know what to say to her, so I just remain quite. ” say something!!! Are you the one? ” she asked as she hold my hand tightly “he’s the one Clara, I’m very sure about it, so he didn’t tell you? ” the doctor asked, then he looked into my eyes for an answer. “will you shut up, son of a thousand pigs” I muttered silently to myself . I was still thinking of what to say when simi came in with a speed. “Ayo, can I see you for a minute ” she said, as she tried to catch her breath. I followed her, then she stopped me at a corner. ” you got two tails, two guys are outside the health center gate, well armed. Their instruction is to shoot you on sight ” she said. “bull shit!!! Why didn’t I suspect ” I threw the question to myself. “so how are you going to escape this danger ” she asked with alot of fear. ” I don’t know… just stay here and wait ” I said, then I head to meet Samson and John. ” Two guys are outside the gate armed with a gun, they are here to kill…are you gonna let that happen?” I asked With my eyes on the two of them. “go stay with Clara and leave those fools to us, we ain’t train to babysit…the boring day is just about getting interest ” Samson said and watched as the two of them remove a pistol. “are you going to shoot them?” I asked Surprisely. “No, our gun is met for protection, ” John replied swiftly. “so… What are you going to do? ” I found myself asking again. ” we are going to break all their bones, in a way that they will prefer to die ” Samson replied. “sweet hell!!! I would love to watch ” I said. I went back in to meet Clara ,and just as I entered she threw the question back at me. “Ayo,are you the person I’ve been searching for?” This time around I got no simi to bail me, so I just remain mute with my head bent low.
