CHAPTER 25 –
© MOMOH GIFT
Abomination! This is problem oh.
I had never encountered this since the day I inherited this work from my father.
This is a taboo. No one dares to reject the call of the gods through this sacred mirror.
I have never seen such.
This mirror has never failed me since it was handed over to me by my father and I have been using it for so many years now. This is not normal at all.
What is the matter baba? Why is he not appearing baba and what is the abomination you are talking about baba? Eh! Baba! Please talk to me. I don’t understand. Why are you shaking your head like this?
Hmmm! My daughter! This is beyond what I can explain because I really don’t know why a mere man like that boy has refused to answer my call in the spirit.
This has never happened to me before.
Everyone I had called through this mirror had always shown forth even though some might be very stubborn to do what I command them to do because of their powers but they had never disobeyed my call.
This is really strange my daughter. I am really confused right now.
Ah! Confused? Please don’t be confused at all oh baba because my life is involved in this matter.
Why will you say you don’t understand what is going on? Are you not the eyes and ears of the gods? Have you not been claiming and boastful of how powerful your gods are? Please do something baba.
I can’t afford to die now. There are so many things I want to do with my life right now. So please do something baba.
I am trying my daughter. What is that his name again?
But I just told you some minutes ago baba. His name is Ayo.
Alright! Let me try one more time.
I will call him three times and if he refuses to answer then…
Then what baba? Ah! Please don’t say such. Just call him baba.
Please stop being negative about this.
You shouldn’t forget that this is my life baba. Please just call him again.
That stupid boy wants to ruin my life.
He will never succeed.
I will show him pepper in this life.
I am ready to go to any extent to deal with him.
Just calm down my daughter and please be quiet so that I can hear what the gods are saying very well.
I’m sorry for shouting baba.
I’m not just myself anymore. It’s just frustrating.
I am very tired and fed up with that boy already.
He is making this life unbearable for me.
Something I never planned for at all.
It’s okay my daughter. Just calm down.
Ayo! Ayo! Ayo! Come forth right now by the authority of the gods.
I command you to respond to my voice right now and do as I have commanded you. Come………forth. Ayo! Ayo! Ayo!
Hmmm! Let me do some incantations and hear what the gods are saying again concerning this issue.
Whatever they say will be final because I am just the mouth piece of the gods.
Please do whatever you want to do baba. I just want that boy dead as quick as possible.
Alright my daughter.
Oh! I really don’t understand what this old man is doing anymore oh.
What is wrong with him? Why has he just become so weak all of a sudden? Despite all the money I have given to him see how he is behaving.
I really don’t know whether to believe this old man
anymore.
What if he has began to collect money from my opponents and now working against me so that I can die and they will have the victory? I see no reason why he just can’t summon the spirit of that small boy who don’t have any spiritual powers at all.
That boy is so powerless that I can deal with him anytime and any day.
If not that I am respecting this baba, I would have gone to hire my boys to kill that bastard where ever he is hiding in this country.
They will trace him and kill him but this man is just delaying me saying there is something the boy needs to do before we kill him.
I am just tired and confused about all these.
Just see how he is sweating even when the weather is cold and also chanting his useless incantations yet nothing is happening.
I really need to act fast. I must not just sit down here and watch this old man ruin my entire life.
Something must be done. That useless boy must be found and this sacrifice must be done successfully.
I am tired of hearing him say those negative words.
Oh! Oh! When will this man stop this his incantations? Are the gods too deaf and dumb at the same time to hear and to speak to him or he is just doing it to deceive me? This time around, everything and everyone around me is a suspect and I won’t give anyone or anything the chance to ruin my life. I need to do something fast.
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! I coughed slightly in order to make him stop and look at me.
He lifted his head and turned towards me with a very sad face filled with disappointments.
I knew he was tired and also sad for interrupting him but I knew that I can’t wait any longer for hours to watch him do those incantations.
I really want him to hear my suggestion which I believe will work out very fine.
Ah! Ah! Why did you interrupt me my daughter? I told you to be calm and quiet because the gods don’t want to hear any kind of noise when they are communicating with me but you have interrupted everything.
Why did you do that? Can’t you atleast stay quiet and calm for a few minute? Why are you frustrating me this much?
I’m really sorry baba. I never thought that my cough could interrupt what you were doing because you never told me that. You just said I shouldn’t talk but not that I shouldn’t cough. Please forgive my action.
I am truly sorry. By the way, I have a very good suggestion baba which would save us from all these unnecessary stress and give us quick solution to our current problem.
No! You shouldn’t call the incantations I make here unnecessary stress because that’s an insult to the gods.
Hmmm! Na wa oh. This kind of problem I am right now. But why is this old man harsh for no good reason? I spoke quietly within myself.
I’m really sorry baba. Sorry for everything. I quickly apologized to him
Alright! So what is your suggestion? Please speak up so that I can continue with what I was doing before you interrupted.
Ehm! Baba! I think that since that boy is so stubborn to answer your call spiritually just as you have said, don’t you think I should arrange with my boys so that they can go and deal with him wherever he is and also bring him here? That would make the work much easier on you.
You won’t have to go through all these…oh! Sorry! I mean it would be very easy for you to finish all these once and for all without delay.
My boys are very sharp. They can trace him to wherever he has gone to and deal with him.
All I need to do now is just to call their boss and they will swing into action immediately. That’s my suggestion baba. What do you think?
Hmm! That’s a very nice suggestion my daughter. In fact! I love the idea so much. But that is not the instruction given to us by the gods.
They instructed that the young man should not be forced to this place but should be allowed to come here on his own willingly before the charm can work effectively on him.
If your boys should go and bring him here then the charm would not work and it would just be a waste of time on my own part.
Ah! Ah! But we are also trying to force him to come here unwillingly through that mirror now or what are you saying baba? Is it not the same thing baba? The only difference is that this one is physical force while the other one is Spiritual force.
That’s all baba. So I don’t understand what you mean by not forcing him to this place.
Even if I try to explain millions of times, you still won’t understand my daughter.
This mirror you are seeing is more powerful than whatever you can imagine. It has the power to draw his mind here or spirit whatever. The mirror will just summon him here through the spirit and then he will have no choice but to come here willingly by himself immediately. So you see, this idea won’t work out my daughter.
Why won’t it work out? Ehn! Tell me! What sort of nonsense is this? Why is it that you find it difficult to reason with me that my life is in line here? What do you want me to do for you again? I have paid you heavily for all these yet you are taking it as if you are just doing me a mere favor. How come you have become incompetent and even your so called powerful mirror also powerless? Are you trying to work with my opponent in order to trash me away like dirt?
Talk to me old man! How much have they been paying you to frustrate my life this way? Why are you just looking for a way to make your gods waste my life like a chicken? You never told me that my life would be at stake if that bastard refuses to use those items given to him.
Maybe I would have thought wisely and looked for another option.
Maybe I would have gone to someone more powerful than you are and be safe. You are such a deceiver and a liar.
What is wrong with you my daughter? Why are you saying all these harsh words to me my daughter? Is this how you can appreciate me for everything I have done for you so far? Or have you forgotten how I have been helping you all these years? Why all these now my daughter?
Stop calling me your daughter old man.
Go and look for your daughter out there because I can never be your daughter. You deceiver and liar.
What have you done for me? What are you even saying? Didn’t I pay for all you did both in cash and in kind? I had to stoop so low to have sex with you just because I am desperately in need of this power and yet you are telling me silly stories.
I should have known that you were fake all these while.
So you want to kill me now and get someone else to satisfy you from where I stopped right?
Mr. old man! Your plans will not work because I am not the kind of person that you can play with and go scot-free.
Now that you have proven to me that you never had any spiritual power all these while, I shall deal with you through my boys.
In fact! You will pay with your life. You shall die and replace me in that grave you are digging for me or you think I won’t know that it is your plan to kill me?
What! Are you actually the one vomiting all these words to me? Have you forgotten who I am? Do you realize that you are inside my shrine and I can just strike you dead within seconds? How dare you point your fingers at me and say those foolish words to me? Yes! I had sex with you but did I force myself on you? Were you not the same person that told me you were willing to do it with me? Now you have the guts to raise your voice at me? Oh! So it’s because I have been too nice and had never shown you the other side of me right? I think I need to remind you that I have killed a lot of people already and you won’t be the first neither would you be the last.
I will teach you a very great lesson that in your next life you won’t dare to speak to an elderly person anymore that is if you are so lucky to come back to this world again. Nonsense!.
Stupid old fool! Do you think I am a child that you can deceive and cheat easily? I am a very matured woman and not those young girls on the street.
I had played life as well and also known a lot about this life. So the fact that I respect you shouldn’t make you think I am afraid of you. Useless man like you. I will destroy the life of your own children wherever they are right now.
In fact! They will all die like chickens wherever they are.
Ah! Ah! What has come upon this woman all of a sudden? Is this not the same woman who loves and respect me a lot? Is she not the same person that always tremble at my feet and do whatever I ask her to do? Why this sudden confusion between us? Why is there disagreement between us when we should be working hand in hand to destroy that young man? All of a sudden she seems to have forgotten the young man and has turned it on me.
Oh! This is not good at all. She will spoil my reputation as the greatest herbalist in this town if I allow her to leave this shrine with her real sense.
I really need to do something very fast now before she brings shame and disgrace upon me.
So you have become deaf and dumb all of a sudden old man? Why are you just staring at me like an idiot? Oh! You are afraid of me right? You now understand that I am not the kind of person you can play with right ? Oh! Today! I will tell the whole world how you have been deceiving them with your fake powers.
They will know how powerless you are. Who knows how may ladies you have deceived in the past and had sex with. Useless old fool like you.
Wow! Since you have decided to run mad on your own without anyone using his or her powers on you, then I will do the finishing touch so that everything will be balance.
I won’t kill you my dear but I will make you run mad so that all your opponents can laugh and make mockery of you.
Since you have decided to behave this way, then you will pay for it.
Keep shut! You old fool.
As she raised her hand to slap baba, he stretched forth his staff towards her and laid it on her head and immediately she began to laugh uncontrollably and ran out of the shrine with her shoes in her hands.
Nonsense! That serves you right. Foolish woman.
Ah! Ah! why is it that my power worked on her so easily by making her mad immediately I touched her with the staff but never worked on that stupid boy? For a moment, I thought my power is no longer working but now I know that’s not true. I think that boy’s power is more powerful than mine.
Who is behind this Ayo? I really need to mind my business henceforth.
