❤I AM ENGAGED❤
(The Price of Vengeance) (Episode 8)
I pu-ll-ed off my heels and walked ba-refooted towards the General. The sweat in his hairy belly irritated me. It looked like a pig who had smeared its b©dy with black mud. It dr!pp£dlike catarrh from the nose of a grown up man.
General Abdullahi closed his eyes and opened his hands wi-de, like a child who runs to embr@ce his mother. As I approached him, I shut my eyes ti-ght and placed my head above his shoulders. I could not embr@ce him.
The pot belly of the general, was like a barrier st©pping my br£@st from tou-ching his che-st. General Abdullahi did not hesitate to wra-p his fat hands around my back. He pu-ll-ed me closer to him and ensured that my br£@st t©uçhed and pressed upon his che-st.
“Kai kai kai… wai…wai!” The General exclaimed.
“What is it general?” I asked rather confusingly, pu-lling out of his ti-ght embr@ce.
“Kemi. Kemi. Since I know a women. Sorry a woman. I have not hvg something soft like this one. g@skiya you look like bre-adi. Fresh baked bre-adi.”
“General do you mean bre-ad?”
“Yes Kemi. Bre-ad. You are soft like bre-adi. Wooooo! Kai. Come and sit down. Sit down for here.”
General Abdullahi held my right hands ti-ght and dragged me to his be-d. Before now, I had alre-ady known that one way or the other, I was going to end up on the be-d of the General. What else did I expect when I agreed to meet him in his pri-vate lounge? I knew his plans from the beginning. But I was only re-ady to give in to him, so I could have my revenge on the three people who had broken my heart and caused me bitter pains.
I stared at my heels which I had placed beside the cushion, and also my purse and phone which was on the cushion. I tried to convince myself that there was another way out of this. But then my phone rang again, and the name Alex brou-ght back the hurtful memories.
Why was he calling me again? What else did he have to tell me? A man who could take advantage of a ladies drun!kstate, to sleep with her without her cons£nt deserved to die. Alex must have had unprotected S-x with me.
I remembered the semen I had seen on my b©dy that morning. I remembered how n-ked I was, and how I was covered with a blanket and made to feel like a slut. I remembered all those and bec@m£ hurt and angry again. The more I thought about it, the more my crave for vengeance increa-sed.
General Abdullahi kept tou-ching my hands and robbing it softly. He kept smiling sheepishly and sweating like one who had finished boxing. I picked the blanket on the be-d and wiped the sweat from his face.
“Thank you Kemi. You are so nice g@skiya. So so nice.”
“General why are sweating? Where you working out?” I asked.
“Working where? La illah. Does this kind of belly look like one that un-dergoes any working out? Kemi why won’t I sweat when I was thinking of you from the moment you said you want to meet me in secrete?
“You have just been running throu-gh my mind like a Kaza. Kaza is chicken Kemi. You know how the c0ckfollows the chicken and the chicken runs and runs? That is how you were running. I was the c0ck, you are the chicken.” He laughed.
I laughed at the way the General spoke. He seemed to have a very good s-en-se of humour. Sometimes his Hausa intonation made me laugh. Especially when he pronounced ‘Come’ as ‘Cam’ and replaced the letter ‘R’ for ‘L’.
“Kemi your laugh; your laugh is beautiful. Do you know I do not know what I am even doing with your friend Temi? You are a wife materialistic. I feel like swallowing you now. I want to… I want to.. I want to k!ssyou.”
He pushed his head closer to my face, and pouted hisl-ips towards mine. I pu-ll-ed backwards but General Abdullahi followed me with his poutedl-ips relentlessly.
“General wait. Wait.” I pressed firmly on his che-st.
“Kemi what? What is it. Let us do this thing nau. My b©dy is h0t. I am on fire. Do you want an old man like me to die of conji? I want to chop you. Kai.” He landed his hand on his bald head.
“General. I will give it to you just the way you want it. But first I nee-d something from you. I nee-d your help. That was why I asked to see you.”
“Kemi money is not the problem. I will transfer one million to you to solve any problem you have. Allow me to eat your bush meat Kemi. Allow me.” General Abdullahi pushed towards me again.
“No its not about money. Its something different.” I pushed his face.
He st©pped and pu-ll-ed back. General Abdullahi heaved a sigh and kept staring at me piercingly.
“Any problem that one million naira cannot solve, that problem nee-ds a miracle.”
“Kemi what is bothering you?”
“I was defiled by a guy today. He worth more than one million naira. He is connected too. He once told me that his father is very wealthy.
“Alhaji I do not want to do this, but I will do it if only it will get me the revenge I really want. I am re-ady to sleep with you if you promise to help me out. plea-se General. Help me out.”
“Defiled? Who defiled you? How did you defile? What do you mean by defile?”
“A man had S-x with me without my cons£nt General. He R@p£d me.’
“r@p£ you? Who is the man to you? How is the man?”
“He is my b©yfri£nd- my fiancee. He had S-x with me while I la-id on his be-d drun!kand unconscious last night. He took advantage of me.”
I broke into tears while I spoke. I was broken and hurt by the next words I was about to say. I struggled with my words. I struggled to let it out.
“Calm down Kemi. Calm down.” General Abdullahi patted me on my back and drew me close.
“After I realised what had happened to me this morning, I drove to my best friends house to seek comfort, only to realise that she has been slee-ping with my ex b©yfri£ndtoo. I saw him coming out of her house.”
“Who? Which best friend. You mean Temi? My own Temi?”
“Yes. Your Temi. She has been seeing another man behind your back. She has been d@t!nganother man and slee-ping with him. That man is my ex b©yfri£nd. The same man that hurt me two years back, and broke my heart into tiny pieces.
General Abdullahi drew me closer to him. I rested my head on his che-st as he tried to comfort me. I felt like I was being cu-mddled by my own father.
“Kemi, even though Temi is just a concubine to me, I will still deal with her in my own way. But I will ensure that those two bastard, especially that Idiot that has been slee-ping with my own Temi is seriously dealt with. He will regret ever knowing General Abdullahi Abubakar. He will regret it g@skiya.
“And to think that bastard is eating what a general is eating. Does he even know how much I have spent to keep what he is eating clean? I will deal with him.” He spoke angrily.
“Thank you General. Thank you.” I embr@ced him ti-ghtly and heaved a sigh of relieve.
General Abdullahi lifted my head up and li-cked hisl-ips like a dog. In his eyes I saw lvst. He looked down and took a quic-k look at my br£@st and then my face. I bent my head and caught sight of his erected pe-nis, which pushed his towel up.
Without saying a word, he lifted my head up with his hands and k!$$£d myl-ips. He pushed me to the be-d and I fell with my back. I felt his arms wra-p around my n£¢k firmly as he got on t©p of me. With his left hands, he loos£ned the towel, and flung it to the floor.
I hated go-wns from the very start. It was the reason I never wore a go-wn to a guys house during my school days. I preferred to wear ti-ght jean trou-sers that was not easy to pu-ll down. It had saved me several time when I found myself in situations such as this.
He pu-ll-ed my go-wn up effortlessly, and pu-ll-ed down my p@n-ts even when I tried to fight his hands off.
“Kemi you are beautiful. Let me off the light. I want to enjoy your b©dy and give you the best.” He cooed.
General Abdullahi stood up and walked hurriedly towards the switch. He turned the bright light off and the room bec@m£ dark. All I could see was the faint light from the sockets and a power bank.
“General, I am not doing this because I want to. I am not doing this because I love you. I am doing this as a price to get revenge for a heart that have been hurt. Make love to me if you must, but promise me, promise me you will help bring pains to those three who have hurt me. Promise me that you shall bring me vengeance. Promise me General. plea-se promise me.” I spoke with tears rolling down my eyes.
“Kemi I promise you, they will pay the price for ever hurting you.”
