CROSSROAD – CHAPTER NINETEEN

CHAPTER 19 –
© MOMOH GIFT

Hello! My daughter! There is a big problem oh.

I’m afraid that if we don’t do something very fast it might destroy all our plans totally thereby bringing us shame and disgrace.

Hello! Are you on the line my daughter? Can you hear me?

Hello! Baba! I can hear you very well.

Please what is wrong? Why are you saying all this? I rebuke shame and disgrace oh. It will never be my portion.

Please talk to me baba. I am very scared already. You have never spoken to me in this manner before.

I hope nothing bad has happened?

I’m sorry for making you scared my daughter but this is very serious.

That young man’s whom you gave those items has not been using them at all.

I haven’t seen any of his virtues which were supposed to be transferred gradually as he uses the items.

Everything is still the same way since that day and this is very dangerous because it might take your own life.

I hope you know that the gods are not really patient enough.

They can just strike at any time due to disobedience on your part.

Ah! I’m in a big trouble. Baba! Do you mean that the gods can just strike any moment from now? But how come you never told me this aspect when we were about to commence the rituals? At least! I would have been more careful and ensured that he used it even in the hotel.

I would have even paid for a whole week to Lodge him in the hotel so that I could monitor him closely.

Oh! This is very bad. But you assured me that everything would be fine baba.

I really can’t take that news of dying right now. I want to enjoy my life. I don’t want to die.

Hmmm! My daughter! Don’t you think you should be asking me for a way out rather than complaining and laying blame? You should know even without telling you that the gods lack patience and can give its punishment to anyone who disobeys their instructions at any time.

After my consultation with the gods a few minutes ago, I realized that the gods are really angry and might strike you at any time.

That’s the main reason why I am calling you right now. We don’t have enough time because this is a matter of life and death.

Ah! Ah! But I thought all this was just for me to win the election and that’s all, why the demand for my own life? The gods should take the life of the young man because he disobeyed and not mine.

Mind your words, my daughter. The gods are not to be joked with.

You came to them for help, so you have to do whatever they ask you to do. I will advise that you stop all these complaints and face the issue immediately.

Hmmmm! Alright! I’m really sorry for all I have said.

Please forgive me. I am not just happy hearing this kind of news. Anyway! What is the way forward baba?

Good question my daughter. You are forgiven because I understand how you feel but please always try to control the words that you speak because they are always very powerful. Your words can make or kill you. So be very careful when uttering those words.

Now back to the issue on the ground.
You have to make sure you convince that young man to use those items before the end of this week. I believe you should know how to convince him very well.

Just do everything to ensure he uses the items and I assure you that everything will be fine again.

Just that baba? I don’t need to do anything again? Are you sure I won’t die? I really don’t want to die yet baba. Please tell me everything I need to do so that my life will not be at risk.

Even if it means I should kill that young man for me to live, I will gladly do it. My life is really precious to me.

Calm down, my daughter! I know that you are scared but you don’t need to bother yourself at all because I am here for you. I will ensure that you are safe and never allow any evil to befall you. Just make sure you do what I have told you. Please be careful while doing it so that you don’t spoil the plans.

Never react harshly to him so he won’t suspect anything because that young man is really very wise. I hope you understand what I am saying, my dear?

Oh yes! I understand you perfectly baba. I know how to handle that stupid boy who has put my life in danger already. I will deal with him when he finally falls into my trap.

But baba! What if he has given the items to somebody already? I mean maybe someone else saw it in his hands and collected it from him.

Who knows whether he has given it to his girlfriend already. What will I do in such an instance though I’m just assuming.

Well! From what I am seeing here, nobody has used those items yet because it would have shown here if someone had actually used them.

I believe he is still keeping it in his house and is not willing to use it for the main time.

Maybe he has this mentality of trying to preserve it since it was imported from abroad.

Though that’s my thought anyway. But I am very sure that nobody has used those items yet.

Alright! That thought of yours might actually be true because I see no reason why he wouldn’t have started using those items since the day I gave them to him.

I will do as you have said baba. In fact! I will call him immediately.

That’s good my daughter. I shall be waiting patiently for you. Please don’t delay at all. We don’t have enough time anymore.

                  *                        *.                                               *.          

Ayo! Where do you think you are going to? Oh! You think you can escape from me right? You can’t run away from me because you gave yourself willingly to me already and there is no way to go back.

No! Leave me alone! I don’t belong to you. You can’t kill me. Leave me alone.

Ayo! How long will you continue to argue with me? Since the very day you agreed to do whatever I say because of my money, I have taken over your life.

You ran away from your shield with your own legs because of greed and came to me because of my beautiful offer.

You had the chance to say no but your selfishness won’t allow you.

You just wanted to make money at all costs and now that the consequences are here, you want to run away? Stop all these hide-and-seek games and come back to me willingly or I will cease you by force.

I hope you know that you don’t have anyone to defend you right?

Ah! I bind you in the name of Jesus! Get lost in Jesus name. I rebuke you in Jesus name.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! You are just too funny Ayo! Why are you calling that name when you don’t belong to Him any longer? Stop calling Him now to help you or to save you from me because it won’t happen. You already denied Him before now.

Stop thinking you are covered due to your thoughts of being a Christian.

You are just a mere church-goer and nothing more.

Leave me alone! I don’t belong to you.

Stop playing with me, Ayo.

I think I have been joking with you all this while.

Now I need to go into serious business with you. Enough of wasting my time.

Ah…… Somebody help me! He…..lp!

                              *

What! So I have been dreaming? This looks so real.

Oh! Not again! Why will I be having such nightmares about this woman who is my divine helper? Why will all these evil people be strategizing all these nightmares every day?
Oh! This is getting out of hand already.

But! She said some words when I tried to rebuke her. Is this really a mere dream?

Yes! It’s a mere dream.

Ah! She is calling me already. Should I pick up her call or just allow it to end? Oh! I’m really confused right now.

This is the worst that has ever happened to me.

Well! Let me hear what she has to say to me after all these dreams are not always real.

Hello! My sweetheart! How are you doing today? I have missed you greatly and I just can’t wait to see you again. I hope you are doing fine?

Ehm! Good evening ma or sorry, good evening honeypie. I’m doing fine.

What’s wrong with you Ayo darling? Are you okay? I really don’t like the tone of your voice right now.

Is anything the matter? Please talk to me, my dear. You know I am always here for you though I have always been busy these days. Please forgive me for that.

I am fine honeypie. It’s just that…

Talk to me, my dear.

Nothing! It’s just that I woke up from sleep before you called because I was very tired from the office. That’s why my voice sounds this way but I will be fine.

Oh! I really have to do something about this office of yours.

I don’t want them to be stressing my baby too much.

They won’t even allow you to have enough rest.

That reminds me, have you been using those items I gave to you the previous day? I believe they should help your skin a lot.

I know your skin would be shining so well by now right? Talk to me, my dear.

Hmmm! Yes, honeypie. The items are really wonderful. They are nice on my skin.

Oh! Should I tell her about what happened to me the other day? I don’t think it would be a nice idea. She would be disappointed in me. I think the best thing is to just pretend as if I am using it so that I won’t use my hands to destroy my blessings.

Are you saying something my honeypie?

No! Not at all. I was just trying to recall something.

Wow! Those items are the best I have ever used on my skin before.

You need to see how cute I look now.

Those items are really working like magic on my skin.

So many of my colleagues have noticed the changes in my skin and have begun to ask me so many questions.

They even asked me to show them the cream I was using but I remembered your warning so I declined.

Wow! That’s wonderful. I’m so happy that you obeyed my instructions.

Oh! I’m really dying to see you right now.

Can you come over and at least spend the night in the hotel with me? I am very lonely in this place. Would you honor my request lover boy?

Sure! I will do anything for you my honeypie. I shall be coming immediately.

Though my car has a little fault but I don’t mind taking a taxi just to be with you.

Oh! That’s great to hear. I shall be expecting you.

Please don’t keep me waiting for too long.

Also, bring those items with you as well so that I can help you apply them on your skin tomorrow morning.

I just want to have the opportunity of doing it for you honey.

Hmmm! Do you mean I should come along with the items to the hotel? But I don’t think I will need them since I will still come back to the house in the morning to prepare for work.

Honey! Who says you can’t go to work from here? You will go to work from this place my dear.

I will treat you like the king that you are. You mean so much to me so I will do anything just to make you happy.

I will get you a better car soonest as well.

Please don’t give me any further excuses anymore. Just rush down here as quick as possible. I shall be waiting here for you.

But…

No, but my dear. Please hurry up so that I won’t die here with loneliness.

Ehm! Alright honeypie! I shall be on my way now.

Good! I’m waiting for you dear.

                                 *

Ah! What will I do now? How will I be able to convince her that the items were actually stolen from me by that madman? She won’t even believe my story at all.

Oh! What if she hates me for lying to her and even throws me out? How will I cope with all the plans I have made? Oh! See what that stupid man has caused for me right now.

Well! I will go and meet her. I will just tell her the truth about everything that happened or even construct a tangible lie for her.

Anyhow! Let me just get there first.
