MY ORDEAL✊✊
Episode 88.
As we drove and was approaching my village, we saw 2 men leaving with a bag in a hurry,
“Bastards not too soon! Uche shouted and blocked the road.
“Where to? Uche asked when we c@m£ out and they attem-pted to run into the bush.
We rushed on them immediately, threw one inside the boot and held the other with us in the car and drove off to Manfred place ignoring their cries and begging.
We notice the crowd was marching to somewhere and we c@m£ out holding the 2 men with us and pushing throu-gh the crowd to see what’s going on.
There we saw the young men in front holding the chief priest on his Sk-irt and the 3 chiefs we met at Benson compound.
The chiefs seeing the men with us shouted they are among also and the youth gr@bb£d them from us,
“We dey come Una House one by one, shebi Una say wickedness good, you go see am today! An angry youth shouted with his green leaves and stick on his hand.
Dusk was falling on us and we went to the guys to know the latest development, because from their looks they were really enjoying it.
“Omoh if you see we-tin we see for Manfred room as we break enter inside, Jesus! I shock, the funniest replied.
“As e be so time no dey for plenty gist, we dey march go that your slave master place, after Manfred na she be the as-sistant chairman for wickedness and we hear say some of the wicked men don run go her place for protec-tion, Linda crush replied.
“She gat guards and may be difficult to pene-trate, I said quite scared and the guys hissed.
“we-tin be guards? They go fit stand all of us with cutlas-s and stick, make they try na with the way our face don red plenty people go fall today. Don’t worry i go tell you confession wey dey don talk though chief priest never talk first, his own na village square we wan gather hear am for night like story, Linda crush said and they quic-kly left to ginger the guys more for war while Uche held my hand to be sure I’ll be saved.
The distance was supposed to be a long one, but in few minutes time we were alre-ady ban-ging ha-rd at her gate.
Many threw stones and whatever they saw into the compound as they we’re lucky the fence was quite high no one could jump.
Uche interest was just on me as he just held me ti-ght with all that was going on.
We heard gunsh0ts inside, probably to scare us off but my friends laughed,
“Bullet dey finish o and we dey here outside like this no leave no transfer. Respect yourself open this gate o because if we break am enter inside eh, na waya o! Abi no be so!! Linda crush shouted for the youth and they screamed agreeing to what he said.
I just smiled and thanked God for ma-king me know someone like them, they took my battle like it was theirs and made sure they followed it to the last.
Before I knew it the gate was seriously hit with a big wood held by 2 guys, while some guys were concentrating on the fence to bring it down.
“Dora let’s get out from here, Uche said.
‘Why? I asked.
“I’m scared for you, a fight may bur-st out now, you should know her guys by now they are violent Beast, Uche replied.
“Dear look around, no one is retreating why should I be the one to go away now? Nothing is going to happen okay, besides you’re here with me right? I asked and he rolled his eyes knowing i wont agree to him.
“Okay fine I’ll take you to a safe place, here isn’t good, he said dragging me along as i followed with a frown angry i will miss the whole view.
As we stood by a corner, i saw a lady approaching us and i was saying to myself the face looked familiar but I couldn’t figure out where until she stood in front of me and hvgged me smiling..
“Hi Dora, you’re looking so beautiful, she said as I was still looking at her face.
“Mabel? I asked and she nodded still smiling
“Are you serious? Mabel! I shouted and we happily hvgged again.
“Look at you, oh my God how have you been? You’re looking so fine and fresh despite I saw you like a possessed girl the last time we met, I said and she laughed.
“Sorry I used that word but I’m so happy to see you, I said.
“Its okay Dora, Possessed is even a good one but not anymore.
Someone c@m£ out and took care of me, I’m married now and he’s from the next village. I actually c@m£ for a visit when I heard there’s an earthquake here and decided to see what’s going on, she said.
“Awwwnnn congratulations, actually this is my b©yfri£nd. Dear meet my long time friend, she was the one taking care of my mom corpse when she was dumped, I said introducing them and they shook hands together.
“So why are you here? I thought you left the village? She asked.
“Yea I did but I actually returned for something but it turned out today is judgement day for my enemies to pay, I replied.
“Hey babe is there anything you’re not telling me because I nee-d the full gist. Talking about judgement i can see some wicked chiefs held captive by the youths, 2 of them insisted I and my grandma should be banished, she said and I smiled summarizing the gist for her but she only smiled shaking her head like it wasn’t a shocking thing.
“I’m glad you know it now, she said.
“You knew of this? I asked surprised.
“Yea remember when I told you not to trust anyb©dy? I didn’t know how to tell you that your uncle is evil and besides I was going throu-gh a lot with my own problems, I didn’t want to add to it, she replied.
“Mabel you should have told me, I said.
‘Dora, what would you have done then? Everything has it time, and i think this is just the best time for them to pay, she said and boom the gate opened.
The noise was just out of this world as Uche drew us close to himself giving space for the villagers who were running to pas-s in peace.
“Are they not scared with the way they are bashing in? Mabel asked.
“With such a f0rç£ no one can hurt them that easily, let’s go see what’s Is there nau, i said to Uche.
“No,he said.
“plea-se nau, i really want to see my slave master face so she can see mine too. She was br@gging that no one will ever rescue me and I will rot in her prison, I want her to see that she’s a failure and I made it out, I said and Uche looked at me for a while and i win-ked at him so he can let us go.
“You just have to stay close, Uche said as we slowly walked up to the gate but it was too congested.
A serious fight was going in there and I felt like crying i couldn’t witness it, Uche and Mabel were busy laughing at me while i stood outside imagining the b!ows going on inside…………..
More than 20 minutes we couldn’t still figure out what was going on inside until the crowd was seen coming out cheering,
“Looks like they succeeded, Uche said as we searched for the guys.
Then i saw my slave master, age is really on her and it was like she has a stro-ke or something because she didn’t look so good.
When she saw me standing in front of her she Couldn’t say a word to me,
“Wow, hey master, care for a hvg? I asked smiling at her but she was quiet.
“Hi, Uche said waving at her and that was when that angry look c@m£ on her.
“So it was you after all bastard! She shouted.
“Hey hey take It easy before 2 of miserable teeth will be missing. You should face me not him, because you see i can still remember your maltreatment and the way you do beat me to s¢v-m, I said and she smiled.
“I’m glad you remembered, it cant be something you will forget in a hurry because it suit someone like you, she said and I li-cked myl-ips and held her face as she was held by the youth.
“I will also give you something to remember that will last till your next life, and it will suit someonelike you same way Manfred left, i said and let go of her face as I saw great fear c@m£ upon her.
“And other thing, Chinwe will be so glad to see your corpse eaten by the vultures, remember her right? I asked and she was breathing heavily.
“Anyway we will meet again, I said and shifted for the guys to take her away.
It was dark alre-ady and we were marching back to the village as 8 men were taken in her house with the 5 that was with us together with the chief priest and my slave master.
We were heading to the village square where everyone will hear the full gist and the confessions of each and everyone of them..
I cleaned Linda crush face with my handkerchief and he laughed,
“Weldone sir, una try no be small, i said.
“This thing sweet o wahali, he said and we laughed together.
“I never imagine it will be this way, just few hours all my enemies are gathered like chaffs, I said.
“See their face like smoked fish! The guy who saved us said and we bur-st out laughing.
“What are you going to do with them? Mabel asked.
“That one no concern me, na the villagers go talk that one, but i love the youths they gallant well well. No dullness at all and e sweet us well, Linda crush said.
“I’m surprised myself, looks like Benson death really infuriated them to be this wild, I said.
“Dah i don dey hungry o, headlights don dey show for belly o, the funniest said and i t©uçhed his belly.
“Mr food! I said hitting him pla-yfully and he laughed.
“Make e do finish biko, na 20percent remain o, he said……….
