Sammy was discharged the following week after Annie’s visit. When they got home, he could not believe he was home at last. He went straight to where his mum’s picture was hung on the wall in his room and said “Mum I am back. Thanks for watching over me and you will not believe I saw a girl who looks just like you, she is so adorable, a real princess. She even saved me, I could have died. I wish you were alive mum, you would have loved her very much too. When I make enough money, I will marry her” he said giggling from ears to ears. His dad snuck into the room.
Richard: “Welcome back home son! I feel like the whole world has been placed under my feet with you in this house again. I hope your mum forgives me too, I made you suffer so much and closed my eyes to what you were going through. I am not a good father at all and you were right, I was a coward and a weakling but that has changed now. I will be strong for you from now as long as I live. How I wish your sister is here too”
Sammy: “We will find her someday dad. It will happen like a miracle so don’t worry dad. Besides what of my step mum? I haven’t heard anything about her for a very long time now” she looked up at him.
Richard: “She is no longer your step mum. I don’t know where she is either and I don’t want to know. She should better remain hidden except she needs more drama in her pathetic life” he said bitterly.
Sammy: “So you don’t love her anymore?”
Richard: “How can I continue loving the person who ruined my family and almost ruined my only son’s life? I regret ever loving her to begin with. I did not look well before leaping and my children were made to carry the brunt of my carelessness. l can never be done with paying for my sins son” he placed his hand across his shoulder and he smiled.
Sammy: “It’s okay dad. I will make sure never to make the same mistakes you made. I will be very patient with my wife and not be quarrelsome for the sake of my children. I will pay more attention to my children too to know when they are going through hard times and then, I will never tell a single woman my marital challenges or listen to her advice especially when I know she will do no good for my marriage. I learnt a lot from you dad”
Richard: “Someone is back to his old self again. I missed you all the way my boy” he said and drew him to a close embrace.

Johnson got back home ahead of time that day but only to find his wife murdered with multiple stab wounds on her mid-section and chest. He was taken aback at first when he saw her pleading eyes frozen by the icy hands of death. He heard his children coming back happily and quickly went outside to meet them locking the door behind him. He took them to their grandma’s place without bothering to answer any of their questions. His mind was running wild, thinking of what to do and how to catch the murderer until he remembered he had installed a CCTV in his bedroom and in the living room since the first time he caught them kissing. He had not been satisfied with their flimsy excuses so he had the CCTV installed in a bid to catch them red-handed.
After dropping his two kids, he went back home, called the police and two officers were sent to him. Even they were surprised at how gruesome the murder was, it was something out of the movies.
1 st Officer: “What Nigerian demon could have had the guts to do something like this?” he asked looking at the corpse with horror.
2 nd Officer: “It’s truly terrible. And I have checked the whole perimeter, the doors and everything. There seems to be no indication of false entry or much struggle. It seems the victim knows the murderer and was even cordial with him or her. That is my observation though”
1 st Officer: “I agree with you but let’s dig around even more maybe we can find more evidence to pin down the person who did this?”
2 nd Officer: “Mr Johnson, do you probably have any idea on who could have done this? Maybe a jealous ex, colleague, a stalker e.t.c?” he said facing Johnson who was at one corner shivering like a lone man on a street of London during winter.
Johnson: “I have no idea officer but I do remember installing a CCTV somewhere over there” he said pointing at one said of the ceiling.
1 st Officer: “Oh very good! Very very good!! That was very thoughtful of you sir, you just made our work easier” he said walking towards the Camera.
2 nd Officer: “Call an ambulance now, so she can be taken to a morgue. She might start decomposing soon” he said as they walked towards the door.
===
On getting to her hotel, it was as if everybody was pointing accusing fingers at her. Every faces she saw was Gloria’s it was just like Judas Iscariot’s hallucination saga on his way to commit suicide in “The Passion of Christ” Movies. She staggered to her room, thinking it would be over but every objects in the room, even her bed had bloodstains on them. She saw Gloria’s dead face in the mirror instead of hers. She held her head with her two hands and began to scream. All of a sudden, everything became normal again, she fell on her bed and went into a nightmarish slumber.
Meanwhile, every stations on GOTV carried the news of the murder of a young woman at her home by her best friend whom she was allegedly having an immoral affair with before she got married. Her picture was all over the social media urging anyone who sights her to give the police a call. A bounty price of Ten million naira was placed on her head. Everyone who saw the news or read it online was on the lookout for her.
One of the cleaners who helped clean her room once at the Hilton hotel called the police and informed them that she was there, she also gave them her room number.
As she slept, she heard a bang on her door and opened her eyes like a possessed. The door handle turned and three police officers with their AK47 pointed in front of them aiming at her barged into the room. She made to run to the bathroom but they were swifter and double-crossed her.
Policeman: “You are under arrest for the murder of Mrs Gloria Arowolo. You are advised to keep quiet since anything you say now can be used against you in the law court” he said like a programmed robot.
Ophelia: “Who are you guys to arrest me like this? I refuse to go with you. I am innocent, I did not murder anyone…” she screamed and kicked as they handcuffed her hand behind her back and led her down the corridor leading to the exit door. “You guys are making a grave mistake, you are arresting the wrong person…I am innocent, I don’t know anything about it I swear” she kept ranting on and on until they got to the police station. She was locked in the interrogation room bound hand and legs to a wooden chair. Immediately she heard the door open, she started screaming and ranting on and on about being innocent again.
Officer: “Will you shut up now you heartless woman?” he said casting her a disdainful look.
Ophelia: “I want my lawyer. You guys are looking for whom to frame. I want my laaawyer!” she screamed and the officer gave her a resounding slap.
Officer: “Who is looking for whom to frame? Now did you kill Mrs Gloria Arowolo or not? I want a yes or no answer and nothing more”
Ophelia: “No!”
Officer: “Do you know why I am asking you even when I already know the answer? Because I want to torture you to my heart’s satisfaction. Look at that plugged iron over there, it is for your face, I will use it to iron out those two dimples on your cheeks” he threatened while Ophelia burst into tears.
Ophelia: “I did not do anything I swear. She was my friend so I wouldn’t do a thing like that to her” the tears flowing down her face would fill one washing basin. The officer went over and lifted the iron into his hands. Brought it close and placed it on her cheek letting it linger for some seconds. She screamed and screamed, her lungs almost tore out. The officer dropped the iron which had a fragment of her skin stuck to it.
Officer: “Now let’s go again. Did you murder Mrs Gloria Arowolo or not?”
Ophelia: “What evidence do you have for you to be doing this to me? I said I want evidence” she said weakly. The officer dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out his phone which had the video of her murdering Gloria. He showed it to her and she became silent immediately.
Officer: Now answer my question…”
Ophelia: “Yes I did! She was trying to ditch me after all the good times we shared in the past. I needed her but she left me in the lurch? She said defiantly.
Officer: “Tell that to the judge at the law court” he said and walked out.
===
When they got to Richard’s house from the hospital where they were told that Sammy had been discharged, they realised that no matter what happens, Annie was going to have a good life even with them. They had deliberated a lot on whether to let her go or not but a person’s parent will always remain so. They reached the conclusion that if at all it is true that she is their missing daughter, then they will have to let her stay with them.
Richard: “Welcome to our humble abode our princess charming. I am so glad to see you at last. Now I can see why my son is so in love with you. You look exactly like his mum” he said scooping the giggling girl into his arms.
Paul: “Thank you very much, we are very happy to have been invited into your home”
Richard: “No! Its I who is honoured to have you here. I want to say a big thank you for saving my son. You are very lucky to have such a popular girl as your daughter” he said looking from one to the other.
Ralph: “The truth is we are very surprised the media is making a ruckus about such small act of bravery. I can’t count how many interviews we have had to reject. She is still young and we can’t let such things get the better of her”
Richard: “She deserves more awards than she has gotten so far. Even I have one for her” he said looking from one to the other. “I am going to sponsor her education to the highest level. She only has to mention where she wants to study at and she will be there”
Dickson: “Isn’t that too much sir?”
Richard: “It’s not even enough. She saved my only son for crying out loud. Oh! It’s even small” he said pulling her chubby cheek playfully. Just then Sammy showed up.
Annie: “Sammy…” she jumped down from Richard’s leg and ran to him, stopped for a while to take a look at him, satisfied with what she saw, she then hugged him. They both beamed with smiles.
Sammy: “Now follow me, I have plenty things to show you in my room” he said leading her by the hand.
Annie: “Wow! Your room his awesome!” she exclaimed when they entered inside. She ran to the little bed by the corner. ”whose bed is this?”
Sammy: “It’s for my sister”
Annie: “Oh I see!” she went over to where the picture of his mum hung. “Who is she?”
Sammy: “My mum!” he said sadly.
Annie: “Can you bring it down please?”
Sammy: “Sure” he said, brought down the frame and handed it over to her. She ran her fingers over Rebecca’s face…
Annie: “She is beautiful. Can I call her mummy too since I don’t even know mine?”
Sammy: “Awwww! Of course!” he was touched. He went over to his box and brought out a picture “And this is my sister” he handed it to her.
Annie: “Oh my God! Oh my God!! How did you get a picture of me? I am the one in the picture” she ran out excitedly to show her dads the picture leaving the dazed Sammy behind.
Sammy: “She is the one? Oh my God!”
Annie: “Daddy! Daddy!! Daddy!!!” she ran into Ralphs arms excitedly. “See Sammy has my picture. This is me when I was small right?”
Ralph: “Yeah yeah! That’s you” he smiled at her weakly.
Richard: “Oh my God! Please didn’t any of you give birth to her?” he asked standing up.
Paul: “No! We found her, some men were trying to harm her so we rescued her from them”
Richard: “Wow! Annie!!” just then Sammy ran into the sitting room too.
Sammie: “Daddy she is our Annie. My sister is back” he walked slowly towards her and embraced the stunned girl.
Annie: “You are my brother?” she asked and started to weep profusely.
Sammy was on his tears too sobbing,
Sammy: “I swear I didn’t mean to be that careless loosing you to those ritualists. And to answer your question, “Yes! you are my sister. I am so sorry that I let you go like that? I should have held on to you very tight. I was not a good brother despite promising mum I’d take care of you. I am sorry baby sis” he said covering his face with his hands. Richard was short of words, he just didn’t know how to console the two of them.
Annie was sobbing too,
Annie: “So it’s my brother those people were beating up like that? They were even going to set you on fire. Oh my God! I should have beaten them back. My brother! I am so sorry I did not beat them back” she said trying to remove his hands from his face, she succeeded at last and hugged him again. She cried profusely as her hands were shaking!
Sammy: “My sister saved my life dad. The sister we already gave up on, she saved my life” Sammy couldn’t hold it any longer as he shed tears uncontrollably.
Richard: “Everything was my fault children, don’t blame yourselves okay” he quickly dabbed away the tears on his face so they wouldn’t see it. He joined in their embrace and felt his daughter’s tiny arms trying to encircle him and he smiled. Richie broke down in tears
Annie: “I guess I have four dads now and still no mum…Wish I got to know her anyway”she said after they had disengaged from the embrace. Wow! 1 st daddy, will you let Sammy go home with us?” she asked excitedly.
Ralph: “Yes he will of course. And you will also be staying here whenever you want.
Richard called them aside…
Richard: “I owe you guys my life I swear. Thank you so much for saving my children. I know it will be difficult for you to let her go now. Infact I am not her dad but you guys so she should stay with you and come here whenever she feels like”
Paul: “No things are not done that way. She will be staying here and probably be coming to us for holidays. She should get to know her real family too. She might be sad if we tell her she wouldn’t be living with us anymore so all we have to tell her now Is that she will stay with Sammy until he has fully recovered, she will be elated. Letting her go is not easy but I guess it’s high time we got married too and had our own kids.
Richard: “Oh thank you so much. Thank you” he said shaking their hands one after the other. “Infact every disappointment is always a blessing. I think her getting kidnapped was for a good reason, had she been in this house, her step mother, Ophelia would have turned her into a lesbian. She is a paedophile you know. I really thank God my family is whole now, wish their mum was alive too” he finished sadly.
Dickson: “it’s okay sir. Everything is for a reason. Only God knows why she had to die. Let’s pray none of us should die untimely.
===
Ophelia was found guilty of murder, child abuse and lesbianism in the Law court. She was sentenced to death by hanging. Her dad suffered from stroke due to the news of his daughter circulating the internet and newspapers, he was rendered immobile for the rest of his life.

(SEMI FINAL)
EPISODE 23
Annie: “What happened Sammy?
Why did you shout?” Sammy: “It’s nothing, what is
your full name?” he asked
hopefully. Annie: “Annabelle” Sammy: “Oh I see! It’s not Anita?
Oh that’s fine” Paul: “Is something wrong young
champ? You look pale” he asked
with concern registering in his
voice and face. Sammy: “Nothing really, just that
she reminds me of my sister who
was snatched from my arms some
years back” The three men exchanged looks. Ralph: “What was her name?” Sammy: “Her name was Anita but
we called her Annie” he said
looking so downcast. They exchanged confused looks
again. Ralph: “Do you still remember the
date it happened? How old was
she?” Sammy: “That was one day I have
inscribed into my memory. It happened on the 14th of March, 2011 around past 10p.m at night.
We haven’t found her till now, not
even her dead body. It was as if
she vanished into thin air.
Meanwhile she was just three
months old” he had tears in his eyes when he was done with his
narration. Dickson: “Oh my God! How many
were the men who had snatched
her from you?” Sammy: “They were two on a
bike” Ralph: “Let me see you guys” he
said walking away from Sammy’s
ward into the corridor while his
friends followed suite. Paul: “Are guys thinking the same
thing I am thinking?” Dickson: “I am short of words
right now, I don’t think I can
even breathe. Those two seem to
be siblings, oh my God!” he said
using his hand to fan himself. Ralph: “Let’s not jump into
conclusion yet, it might just be
one big coincidence. We cannot
take everything hook, line and
sinker just yet. We need more
proof” Paul: “You are right. I absolutely
agree with you” he nodded his
head in agreement. Dickson: “What other proof do
you need? Annie was like three
months when we found her,
there were two men with a bike
parked beside them. As if that is
not enough, we found her on the 15th of March. I noticed the striking resemblance between
them though but I thought it was
just a coincidence. Annie must be
the missing sister he is so longing
to see again. We cannot just close
our eyes to this just because we are afraid of losing her” Ralph: “You are right too though
but we still need more proof and
until I have it, I will not release
her to anybody” he said, walked
back to the ward and met the two
of them having a serious discussion. Annie: “Tell me about Annie your
sister please?” Sammy: “My baby sister was a
very charming girl. Her smile
could lit up the darkest of souls.
She had dimples just like yours,
actually her dimples were my
doing. I dipped my middle finger in each of her cheeks every day
until the dimples became
permanent” he gave a short
mirthless laugh. Annie: “Hmmmm! You are wicked
o…I wish I know your sister
though, we will be very good
friends” Sammy: “Yeah! I have a feeling
you will get to know her soon.
What did you say happened to
your mum?” Ralph: “Uhmm! We have to go
now, it’s getting late. We will be
back to check on you later
okay?” he said intentionally
changing the direction of their
discussion. Sammie: “Awwwwwww too bad!
When will you come back again
please? I have not really gotten to
thank Annie for saving my life” he
became melancholic in the
twinkle of an eye. Annie: “Do we really have to leave
now? Can’t I stay with him?
Tomorrow is Sunday anyway”
she said pleadingly. Sammie: “No Annie! You should
go with them, it’s not right for you
to stay here all by yourself. They
are just trying to ensure you are
safe. Trust them, they will bring
you back and by then, I would have gotten better and we will be
able to play around. I will even
show you lots of stuffs” Annie: “Okay Sammy” she replied
brightening up. Her dad
exchanged another surprised
looks at how easily he was able
to convince her. A nurse entered the ward with a
message for them… Nurse: “The doctor asked me to
give you this card, his dad
requested that you call him
whenever you are around, he
wants to see you I guess” she
said handing the card over to Ralph who collected it. Ralph: “Thank you, I will call him
but not today anymore. We are
just about to start heading home”
he replied with a forced smile. Nurse: “It’s okay. Call him next
time you are coming then” she
replied and strutted out of the
ward. === At the hospital that day, Richard
and Sammy had a lengthy
discussion, he was able to clarify
his accusations and he saw truth
in what he said especially when
he learnt the name of her girlfriend was Gloria. He
remembered her always
muttering ‘Glo… Glo” each time he
made love to her. he was so
angry about her using his son to
satisfy her sexual urge that he was going to just hand her over
to the police but when he got
home, she was no-where to be
found. He called her parents who
in turned contacted Gloria but
even she said she hadn’t heard anything from her. He waited
patiently for her to show up. It
had been a week and still,
nothing was heard from her. He took a one week leave from
work so he could give all his
attention to his son. As he got
ready to leave for the hospital, the
door of his sitting room flung
open and Ophelia’s dad barged in. Pro. Harry: “You bastard! I knew
you were bad luck for my
daughter from the onset. Where is
my daughter” he moved
menacingly towards Richard
pointing threateningly at him. Richard: “I should be asking you
that! You knew your daughter
was a depraved human and you
still gave her hand to me in
marriage?” Prof. Harry: “You dare call me
daughter depraved to my face? I
shouldn’t have gotten you out of
that prison. I should have
allowed you to rot and decay in
there so maggots could feed on you” Richard: “Then it was you…?” he
moved towards him and held his
collar really tight choking him in
the process. “You were the
bastard who locked me up for no
apparent reason? It was you bastard who caused the
disappearance of my three
months old baby? It was you, you
bloody old fool?” he grunted in
between clenched teeth. Pro. Harry: “You are choking me
boy!” he said breathlessly and
tore his hands off his collar
forcefully. Richard: “So I have been dining
with the enemy all along? Your
daughter knew this and yet she
never told me? What a fool I have
been. She even used that to
blackmail my little boy into pleasuring her because nothing I
did on bed ever satisfied her
being the lesbian she is?” he
slumped down on the chair
weeping into his hands. Prof. Harry: “What do you mean
by that? What do you mean by
she blackmailed your son into
pleasuring her? Lesbian? Who?”
he asked with eyes opened wide. Richard: “You just heard me. Her
girlfriend Gloria probably broke
up with her so she turned to my
son. Your daughter ruined my
family, my life. How will my son
grow up viewing women in general now? Will he grow like a
normal kid or will he start craving
sex now? Your daughter did
these to me and you are here
shouting incentives at me? Please
get out! Get the hell out of my house before I do something I
will regret for the rest of my life”
he stood up pushing the dazed
prof towards the door. === She sat in her hotel room,
thinking of what to do next. She
knew that her parents would
have gotten wind of her
depravity and so she dared not
show her face there. She had thrown her main sim card away
and gotten another so no one
would be able to locate her. She
knew that Gloria was the only
person she could contact at that
point in time and so she did. She asked her to meet her at home
since no one was around at the
moment. When she got there, truth to her
words, no one was around. Her
children had gone to school and
the servants were nowhere to be
found. Ophelia: “Hey! Longest time
ever…” she said taking in the
changes in the house. Things
looked messier around the house
probably thanks to her children. Gloria: “I have been extremely
busy” Ophelia: “I could imagine. being a
full house wife is not an easy task.
Besides, what happened to the
servants?” Gloria: “My husband sent them
away. He said I needed to get
busy and not rely on other
people to help do my womanly
chores. It’s been hectic indeed!”
she said heaving a sigh. Ophelia: “Too bad!” She said and
moved closer to her “Baby I need
your help…I think I am a fugitive
now with nowhere to go to and
no friends or family. I need you
now more than ever” Gloria: “Why are you on the run if
I may ask?” Ophelia: “It’s a long story my
dear, I might not be able to tell
you but right now I am burning, I
mean seriously horny. I haven’t
had good sex for a while now.
Please can we, you know this last time?” she winked. Gloria: “No way! I told you we
were over and besides I am no
longer that type of person. I have
had a change of sexual
preference, a healing. I think you
need healing too, your husband could have been able to provide
that if you had let him” Ophelia: “I told you not to preach
this shit to me again. Will you help
me or not? I really really need this
Glo! You promised me you’d be
there for me no matter what. This
is the time I need you most” she moved closer to her desperately
and held on to her but Gloria
slapped her immediately. What
was that for?” she held her cheek
dazed. Gloria: “I told you I was no longer
interested! Now will you get out
of my house please?” she pointed
furiously at the door. Ophelia: “I told you back then
that you will regret ever casting
me away right? If I cannot have
you then no one else will” she
said, dipped her hand in her hand
bag, brought out a knife. Gloria on seeing it staggered back. Gloria: “Ophelia don’t do this
please. Put away the knife so we
can talk this through” Ophelia: “Talk this through? Liar!
You have always been a terrible
liar! You are only looking for
another opportunity to toss me to
the dogs. I will never forgive you
for this” she plunged towards Gloria like one in a trance but she
was able to dodge it, she tried to
run but tripped over a chair and
fell flat on her face. She stood
looming over her with a wicked
grin on her face “I told you, no one else will have you if I can’t”
she said bent down and plunged
the knife into Gloria’s heart, blood
gushed out. She pulled it out and
plunged it into her stomach many
times till she was satisfied at last that there was no breath left in
her anymore. She stood up, took
a wet wipe from her handbag,
wiped clean the blood stains on
her leather gown, hands and the
knife then returned the knife into her bag. She looked around to
make sure no one had seen her
and fled for the door.

LOVE WITH BITTER TEARS
EPISODE 22
One of the doctors watching them
from the receptionist stand
walked over to them as they
struggled to drag Annie with
them. Doctor: “Hello please?” he said
politely, smiling as they turned to
face him. Paul: “Hello! What can we do for
you?” he asked still trying to calm
Annie down. Doctor: “Can I ask you guys a
question please?” Dickson: “Sure, go on” Doctor: “Who is that little boy to
you?” Ralph: “Hmmmmm! We don’t
know him, we were just driving
by when we saw people
gathered. That was when our
baby asked us to stop the car, she
kinda rescued him from getting killed” he explained proudly. Doctor: “Your daughter should be
given an award for such a brave
act. And I overheard her saying
she wants to stay with the boy?
She’s got a really large heart I
must say” Ralph: “Yeah thank you!” he
replied eager to get away from
the conversation so they could go
home. Doctor: “May I suggest she stays?
She and the young lady here, I
will personally take care of them.
They can even stay at my place
tonight and tomorrow and if you
stay around, I will drive them home myself. The way I am
looking at things now, this girl
might fall sick if you forcibly take
her home like this. Paul: “We are sorry to decline
doctor. She is too young to really
know what she wants. Thanks
for your suggestion anyway. We
will get going now, thank you”
he said and they all turned to leave, he noticed that Annie was
quiet all of a sudden, he checked
and realised she had fallen asleep
in his arms and heaved a sigh of
relief. They drove back to Ibadan
in silence with each of their minds occupied with thoughts of the
young boy and the state they met
him in. it was really pathetic. === He sat thinking about where he
could find Sammy. He still nursed
doubts in his heart about his wife.
He knew he had to find out the
truth but how he could do that
was something he wasn’t sure about. He remembered he hadn’t
read news that day and he had
forgotten to get newspaper from
the vendor, he decided to check
online. He logged in to www.storyaim.com and the first thing he saw was JUNGLE JUSTICE:
AN INNOCENT BOY ALOMOST
LYNCHED BY AN ANGRY MOB. The
title seemed catchy so he decided
to read it cursing the adults who
would want to set an young boy ablaze just because of some
cheap commodity. His network
was slow so he tried again by
reloading it. It came on at last and
the pictures he saw almost took
his breath away. Laying on the floor was his son, covered in
blood, unrecognizable because of
his swollen and bleeding face. He
dropped his phone and stood up,
unable to continue reading the
news any further. ”Oh my son! My son!!” he kept muttering
breathlessly. He thought he was
going to have a heart attack
because of how much pain he
was feeling in his heart. “All these
is my fault, I drove you out of the house… where exactly are you?”
he remembered the post could
give him information about his
whereabouts and went over to
his phone, picked it up and
proceeded with his reading again. He saw the picture of the
brave beautiful girl who had
saved his Sammy. They were
pictured with her rocking
Sammy’s head on her lap and
looking menacingly at one of the men carrying out the nefarious
act. He finally got the address of the
hospital where Sammy was
admitted at, without thinking, he
ran for his car and zoomed off.
Ophelia ran out when she heard
the sound of his car leaving the compound and wondered what
could be wrong this time. She saw
his phone on the table with the
post he just read still on the
screen, scooped it up and
scanned through it. She staggered back when she saw
Sammy in the pool of his own
blood. Her hands began to shake
while her palms sweated
profusely. She quickly dropped it,
took her car keys and went after her husband. === On getting to the hospital, he was
directed to the doctor in charge of
his son’s case. Richard: “Good evening, I am the
father of the boy who was
brought in some hours back. The
one in the ER” He introduced
himself. Doctor: “I know whom you are,
the receptionist already called to
inform me of your presence” he
said as they shook hands. Richard: “Oh good! So how is my
son? Will he be okay?” Doctor: “Of course he will be
okay. He sustained multiple
injuries though, three broken
ribs, mild concussion of the brain
and some fractures here and
there. But let’s thank God that girl stood up for him when she did,
by now his charred corpse would
have been what you’d be picking
from the road now with people
looking at you as the father of a
thief” Richard: “Hmmmm glory be to
God. Does that mean my son is
not in danger anymore? I mean
he will recover?” Doctor: “Of course he will recover
faster than you think. You should
find a way to thank the parents of
that girl. They even paid your
son’s hospital bills and the girl?
She was so taken to your son that she didn’t want to leave” Richard: “I must see that girl of
course, I read about it all online
and I must say I am really
impressed. Her parents must
really be proud of her. Please
when next they come, tell them I want to see them, they should
give me a call” he said handing
his card to him. Doctor: “Okay they will hear. And
don’t worry, your son will be
fine” Richard: “But can I see him now?” Doctor: “Of course! If you can’t
see him then who can? I will take
you there. Come with me please?”
he said leading the way. Richard: “Thanks a lot” he said as
they walked along the long
corridor leading to the Emergency
Room. He was taken aback when he saw
his son. He was plastered from
head to toe. POP was used to
support one of his legs. He fell on
his knees and just stayed there
with his heard down like a gallant soldier who fell in battle. Doctor: “Are you okay?” he said
holding him gently by the
shoulder. Richard; “I am not okay doctor.
You see that boy lying over there?
I am the reason he is there. He
told me something grievous
someone is dong to him and I
refused to believe him. I even punished him for calling me a
coward when I knew within me
that he was really saying the
truth. Now he is lying here almost
maimed while his mother is lying
cold and stiff in the ground, all my fault” Doctor: “I will advise you to just
pray for him to get better soon so
you can apologize to him. That is
the best way and hope the
person that did that grievous
something has been reprimanded? Don’t let him or her
go scot free” Richard: “She will not. I will reveal
her dirty secrets to the whole
world, I will ruin her life for
ruining my family” he said bitterly. Doctor: “It’s okay, go talk to your
son now, he seems to be awake. I
will get going though, I am
having another appointment in
five minutes’ time.” he checked
his time, patted Richard’s shoulder and started walking out. Ophelia hid herself behind the
door till the doctor had
disappeared out of sight. She
quickly sneaked away from the
ER and fled from the hospital. === Ever since they got back from
Abeokuta, Annie refused to talk
to anyone. She became sullen and
withdrawn overnight. The cries
of the boy kept ringing in her
head, his agonized gaze as he looked up at her. She felt like she
could almost feel all the hurts he
had passed through in his short
life on earth. She wanted to go
back there so much but there was
no one to take her, which saddened her so much. Paul: “Annie, we are going to see
that boy on tomorrow which is
Saturday. Will you like to go with
us?” he said that morning as they
were preparing for work while
prepared for school. Annie: “Yeeeees! She said
jumping up excitedly. “let’s get
him plenty gifts, I will give him all
my toys even Elsa” Paul: “You like him that much?” Annie: “Yes I like him very much,
he looks as if he is my brother” Paul: “Really? Brother from
another planet heart right?” he
teased her. Ralph: “Looks like someone is
back. Welcome back baby, we
missed you” he said pecking her
on the cheek with the foamy
teeth paste in his mouth. Annie: “Uhnnn! 1st daddy, you are dirty” she said using her
towel to clean her cheek. === At the hospital, The POP on his leg
had been removed while some of
the bandages still remained. He
kept thinking about the girl who
had saved him. She looked
exactly the same age as his Annie, for this one fact, he
wanted to see her so much. As he
was thinking, he heard shuffling
of legs outside, he looked
sideways and there she was,
sanding right there grinning gleefully. Annie: “Oh my God! You look
better friend. Thank God He
answered my prayers” she said
walking towards him slowly
afraid that if she walked fast, she
will find out that it’s all a dream anyway. Sammy: “So you’ve been praying
for me?” he said sitting up. Annie: “Of course! Meet my three dads. This 1st dad, 2nd dad and 3rd dad” he said pointing at them one after the other. Sammy: “1st dad, 2nd dad, 3rd dad? Are those their names? How
is it that you have three dad?
What of your mum?” he asked
after he had nodded greeting to
the three dudes standing like her
body guard. Annie: “They refused to tell me
where she is. What about you?
But what is your name? I don’t
even know your name” Sammy: “My name is Samson but
everybody calls me Sammy. What
about you?” Annie: “My name is Annie…” Sammy: “Annie…?” his eyes
almost popped out of their
bruised sockets.

EPISODE 21
As soon as they branched to
Ijemo street in Abeokuta, they
saw a huge crowd gathered and
people shouting on top of their
voices. Annie: “1st daddy please park your car I want to see what is
happening there” she said
pleadingly. Ralph: “No! it is very dangerous, I
cannot allow you to go there. I
think it is jungle justice o. kai” he
said when he viewed what was
happening from a better angle. Paul: “And on a little boy for that
matter. Jesus Christ!” Annie: “Daddy park the
carrrrrrrr…” she screamed angrily
stomping her feet on the floor of
the car. The car went to a
screeching halt at the corner of
the road and Annie leapt out of the car before anyone could say
anything to her (she was by the
window side). She ran towards
the scene of the mob action
without looking back. They all
exchanged bewildered looks and ran after her. Dickson: “Annie waiiiit!” he
shouted after her as she kept
running as fast as her little leg
could carry her. Sammy was already very weak
from the beating he had already
been given while they kept
shouting incentives at him. He
heard someone call him a terrorist
terrorizing the neighbourhood. He heard another calling him a
killer, killing innocent people
before snatching their
belongings. “But I did not do all
this. God where are you?” he
looked up to the sky but all he saw was blood, blood that had
dripped from cuts on his head
and eyebrow. His lips had a deep
cut too. He heard someone say
“set him ablaze to serve as a
deterrent to other thieves like him” and many of them agreed
with him. Someone brought a tire
and threw it over his head, he
was too weak to even remove the
tire, he just laid there giving up
hope of survival. Just as he was closing his already half closed
eyes to prepare himself for the
pain that was to come, he felt
someone lift the tire from his head
with difficulty and lifted his head
up rocking it on her laps. He was surprised because the person
seemed really small. He opened
his eyes and with his bad eyes
saw a little girl looking down at
him with tears all over her
beautiful face, she reminded him of his mother. She smiled at him
when she realised he was
looking at her. Annie: “It is okay! No one will
touch you now, my daddies are
here, and they will not allow
anyone to touch you. The people
around were surprised and kept
taking pictures of the scene. The three men who were doing the
beatings were angrier than ever. 1st man: “whose child is this? Come and carry her before we set
her ablaze with this thief” he
ranted. Annie: “You will not dare it. Who
are you to beat an innocent boy
like this? There are big thieves out
there who has stolen your future,
why didn’t you go catch them
and set them ablaze? How can you still want to set him ablaze
with all the blood on his body?
Let me tell you the truth, if you
can open your eyes and do this to
a young boy and even getting
ready to set a living human ablaze then you are a murderer. It’s you
who needs to be set ablaze. It’s
you who needs to be taken off
the surface of the earth” she said
daring anyone to come even
closer. The people around shook their heads in agreement to what
she said and marvelled at her
boldness. 2nd Man: “See, this small girl must be his accomplice, let’s set them
ablaze together” immediately the
words left his mouth, someone
from the crowd stepped forward
and gave him a stinking slap. Let
me see you try that. By this time, her daddies were already
standing behind her waiting for
anyone who would make the
move to touch her and the little
bleeding boy. 2nd Man: “How dare you hit me like that you scoundrel?” The Man: “It’s you who is a
scoundrel and for your
information, I am a police officer
and my team will be here soon,
guess who will be arrested? You
and not this little boy. Like the girl said, you are dangerous to the
society and I will make sure the
three of you are charged for
attempted murder. I saw the
person who stole the phone and
it wasn’t this boy, it was someone else…” he was still talking when a
police van came to a screeching
halt right where the whole thing
was happening and sent some of
the crowd skittering from the
road. The three men tried to run away but people held on to them
tightly while the police men
disembarked from their vehicle,
and bundled them into their
waiting carriage. Sammy was rushed to a nearby
hospital where he was taken to
the emergency room due to the
multiple injuries he had sustained.
Annie had wept all the way to the
hospital, her hand and body were covered in blood. “Don’t worry
friend! You will not die, I will pray
for you very hard. I will ask my 2nd daddy to take me to church so I can pray for you there too”
she said amidst tears as her
entourage watched in awe. Paul: “Come now let’s go home, I
guess there’s no more Olumo
rock for today” Annie: “Please can I and aunty
Ewa stay with him here? Please?
Give her transport fare, we will
come back on our own
tomorrow” she said pleadingly. Ralph: “No way! His parents will
come for him, we are all going
home together now. I have
settled his bills for now. So baby, I
am afraid we cannot grant you
this wish” he said looking hurt when he saw the disappointment
registering on her face. Paul: “Let’s go now” he said and
tried drawing her along but she
refused. Annie: “No! I will not leave him, I
will never leave him” she said
weeping in a way that tore their
hearts apart. Dickson scooped
her into his arms forcefully as she
struggled and kept struggling, screaming on top of her voice… == Richard became frustrated in his
search for his son. People
contacted him to tell him his
whereabouts but each time he
reached there, it would be as if he
had disappeared into thin air like he didn’t want to be found. He
noticed that ever since Sammy’s
disappearance, his wife had gone
back to her normal moody self.
She blamed him for Sammy’s
disappearance and refused to allow him touch her or even talk
to him. He stopped going home
regularly, he lodged in hotels
sometimes or go home with one
of his bachelor friends. He kept
late nights most times and got back home drunk. That night, he got back home and
found that Ophelia had been
waiting for him unlike the other
nights when she wouldn’t even
act like she cared. She sprang up
to her feet as soon as she got a whiff of his presence. Ophelia: “Where are you coming
from by this time?” Richard: “None of your business”
he replied and walked tipsily
towards the kitchen. Ophelia: “How can it be none of
my business when I am your
wife?” Richard: “Ahahahah… wife? I
didn’t know I had a wife in this
life and for your info, my wife is
dead and I don’t know who you
are” he said with sarcasm
apparent in his voice. The alcohol flowing into his veins had made
him unusually bold towards her. Ophelia: “What do you mean by
that Richie?” Richard: “I said my wife is dead
and I don’t know who you are or
why you call yourself my wife” he
reiterated his earlier statement
and she burst out into tears. Ophelia: “Then what am I doing
here?” she asked with her left
hand on her chest. Richard: “Even I do not know the
answer to that question. What
exactly are you doing here? It’s
not like you warm my bed at
nights, you even stopped
cooking for me so tell me what on earth are you here for? I
punished my own son severely
just to save your dignity and now
he has gone missing. Instead of
you to lend me your moral
support, you are giving me attitude, for what? Did you marry
me for me or cos of my son?” As
soon as he said this, what Sammy
told him came rushing back at
him. “Wait! Was Sammy probably
right? What he said about you, were those right? You know I
never really asked you these” he
said with his gaze boring into her. Ophelia: “How can you ask me
that? Don’t you ever ask me that
kind of question again. I actually
waited for you to make some
restitution but I never imagined
you’d turn out to be a jerk” she said and walked out on him. Everything came rushing back at
him, the way she was when they
were dating. How tight she was
when they first made love even
though she was not a virgin. How
happy she became during the time Sammy alleged was the time
she started molesting him and
how fast she went back to being
moody when he disappeared.
“Oh Sammy! Were you saying the
truth? I hope not, I am just over reacting. I guess I should stop
drinking alcohol, it is mushing up
my brain. There is no way she
would be a lesbian or a
paedophile. Yeah no way! I know
her very much, Sammy just wanted to get her out of the way”
he said...

EPISODE 20
Richard: “What are you talking
about son? You are saying my
wife molests you sexually?” Sammy: “Yes dad she does and
she told me not to tell you
otherwise she’d put the blame of
Annie’s disappearance on me and
make all my friends in school
abandon me” Richard: “Shut up boy!” he
roared. “Do you even know what
you are talking about?” Sammy: “But I am really saying
the truth dad. She is a monster,
she even sleeps with women” as
soon as he had said this, his dad
stood up and landed him another
slap across the face which landed him on his back on the bed. Ophelia, who had been standing
by the door unspotted by the two
ran into the room and helped
Sammy up. Sammy: “I said don’t touch me,
what part of don’t touch me do
you not understand?” he said in
between sobs. Ophelia: “Why did you slap him
like that Richie?” she feigned
annoyance. Richard: “If only you heard all the
things this stupid boy said about
you, you wouldn’t be there by his
side” Ophelia: “Really? What did he say
I did?” Richard: “He said you are a child
molester, that you have been
having intercourse with him. He
also said you are a lesbian. Can
you imagine that kind of
utterance? I really can’t have him continue disrespecting you like
this, I have to discipline him” Ophelia: “He said all those? Wow!”
she used her left hand to cover
her mouth and pretended to be
really short of words. Richard: “Yes! Can you see now?
This boy has been sent from the
pit of hell to torment my life” Ophelia: “Please calm down okay?
The most important thing is you
not believing him. Just imagine
how it would have been if you
did believe him. Let’s forgive him
okay? He is just being delusional and naïve. He hates me and he
lets that cloud his sense of
judgement but its fine. I am not
taking any offence. I have gotten
used to his taunts and disrespect
anyway” Richard: “Can you hear that
dumbass? She is even pleading
on your behalf. A woman who
has been here to take care of you
ever since your mum died. How
can you level such grave accusations at her?” Sammy: “Daddy I cannot believe
you can be this easy to play. How
did mum ever get to live with you
for so many years? You are a
coward, I will say it again, you are
indeed a weakling” he said and made to walk away but his dad
drew him back furiously and
started hitting him with his fist.
Ophelia tried to stop him but he
was unstoppable. “Dad…dad” he
kept calling as he kept dealing him blows upon blows. Richard: “Inshort, this will not do”
he said breathlessly. “Now be on
your knees, I have to leave scars
on your body so next time you
think it’s okay to insult me or my
wife, the scar will deter you. Sammy knelt down obediently as
the pains from his dad’s blows
seeped into his inner being. “Now
close your eyes” he ordered as he
looked around for something he
could use on him. He saw his belt lying on the floor and picked it
up. He flogged him mercilessly
with the belt not minding the
boy’s pleas and the blood that
stained his white singlet. Sammy rolled on the floor as the
lashes tore his skin. Ophelia
could not hold it anymore, she
went and covered Sammy and
two lashes landed on her too.
Richard threw the belt away and walked briskly out of the room. Ophelia: “Are you okay Sammy?”
she asked trying to get him to
stand up. Sammy: “When you do this,
people might actually start
thinking you really love me” he
said weakly as he staggered to
his feet, went over to his
wardrobe, pulled out a shirt and put it on. Ophelia: “Where do you think you
are going to by this time? It is
1a.m for Chrissake!” she said
when he started walking out. Sammy: “Don’t even try stopping
me, except you want to see me
dead” he said and kept walking.
Ophelia ran to their room… Ophelia: “Richie, he is leaving the
house” she said but he ignored
her. “Richie can’t you hear me? I
said Sammy is leaving the house
by this time” Richard: “Let him leave. He has
nowhere to go to so he will be
back. Don’t disturb me please” She shook her head and ran back
to the sitting room but he was
gone. She ran out of the gate but
couldn’t sight him still. === Ralph: “Today makes it the third
week Annie has been on break
and we haven’t really done
anything for her. What do you
guys suggest we get for her?” he
asked looking at his two friends who were busy playing game on
their 20”LED TV. Ewa was helping
Annie with her assignments in
her room. Paul: “Yes! Yes! Ronaldo run on
my nigga. Yes! It’s a gooooal…
should we go again” he said
looking triumphantly at Dickson. Dickson: “That was just sheer
luck, oya let’s play again, I will
make you eat sand this time
around” Ralph: “I am talking to you guys
na. you’ve been playing that
game since you woke up and its
way past morning already” Paul: “Ralph this is weekend
mehn! Let us play play play and
keep playing jare. Very soon it
will be Monday. What were you
even saying sef?” he finally gave
him his attention, pausing the game they just started playing. Ralph: “I said what should we get
for Annie for performing so
excellently in her exams? She will
be resuming school next week
you know?” Dickson: “Let’s ask her. She must
have forgotten about seeing her
mum by now?” Ralph: “Annie love!” he called
loudly. Annie: “Yes 1st daddy!” she answered and went skipping into
the sitting room. Ralph: “School will be resuming
soon. What do you want us to get
for you?” Annie: “I don’t want anything 1st daddy” she looked down
sullenly. Dickson: “Okay what do you want
us to do for you?” She looked up happily and gave
him a thumb up… Annie: “3rd daddy is smart. What I want you to do for me is this:
take me to Lagos, I want to visit
the beach. All my friends in school
have been there before,
remaining only me” Paul: “Well that is very simple.
Then when do we go guys?” he
asked looking away from Annie
to study his friends’ expressions. Ralph: “We can even go today.
Lagos is just two hours’ drive
away, if we leave now, we can
reach there by 3pm, book two
rooms in a hotel in Lekki then
proceed to the beach. We will be back home tomorrow evening. Is
that cool by you?” Annie: “So we are going today?” Paul: “Yes baby!” Annie: “Yeeeeeeeahhhh!” she jumped up and down. “2nd daddy, you know fashion very
well even more than aunty Ewa,
please come and dress me up and
I want to wear that my round cap
the way they use to in the movies
when they are at the beach. I will also ride a horse with my daddies.
Aunty Ewa will help me hold my
shoes” she counted her fingers
for each of her plans giggling
from ears to ears. Paul: “Oh God! Our baby is a
bundle of joy. I can’t believe we
almost handed her over to the
orphanage” he muttered to
himself. “Okay let’s go and get
you ready sweetie” he said and led her away from the rest
holding her tiny hand. === It had been two weeks since he
left home. He walked as far away
from home as his legs could carry
him. He looked even lankier than
ever since he could not even get
himself to beg for food or money from passers-by. Only the very
good Samaritans saw him and
give him some money, some
people gave him food. At some
point, whenever he got to a place,
someone would look at him and act like they recognized him that
was how he got to know his dad
must have gone to the media to
get their help in locating him. But
he didn’t want to be found,
anytime anyone recognised him and do as if they wanted to make
a call, he would quickly leave that
vicinity and run as far as he could.
He was nursing a very deep
wound in his heart that even time
had not been able to heal. He found himself in Abeokuta, the
capital of Ogun state. He found
some other homeless boys whom
he moved with. They slept under
the stairs of Sandhurst hotel not
far from Olumo rock. In the mornings, they would all go out
except Sammy who only roamed
around and only got lucky once
in a while when people dashed
him stuffs and food. Sometimes
his friends would refuse to give him what they brought in
because he wouldn’t work with
them, he slept hungry most
nights. === After having fun at the lekki
beach the next day, they got
ready to go back to Ibadan but it
seemed too early. Paul: “Annie hon, did you enjoy
yourself last night?” Annie: “Yes 2nd daddy. I wish we didn’t have to leave yet” she said
with a sad look. “The water tasted
like salt, do they put salt inside it
every day?” she asked
brightening up all of a sudden
while Ewa laughed out loud. Ralph: “Come this lady, why are
you laughing at our baby? You
want to be sacked?
Ëwa: “Ah! Sorry o. e ma binu” she
said jokingly. Paul: “That’s the way it tastes my
dear. It is called salt water. Infact I
could say we get our salts from
there. So is there any other place
you want to go to?” Annie: “Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!” she
jumped up in Pauls arms. Paul: “Where?” Annie: “Olumo Rock” she said
giggling from ears to ears while
they exchanged looks. Dickson: “You guys are spoiling
this girl o. continue” Paul: “Let us spoil her very well.
As long as she is not ill-
mannered, then we are good.
Ralph how far? Shall we go?
Besides I’ve always wanted to see
olumo rock” Ewa: “Please let’s go. I want to see
Olumo Rock too” she said
clasping her hands together
excitedly. Ralph: “Okay o…what can I do
when the ladies have agreed?” === He turned when he heard the cry
of thief! Thief!! Thief!!! And
realised they were running
towards him. They had in their
hands sticks of different sizes and
shapes. He was confused and turned to run away but someone
knocked him down from the
back. He fell face down on the
floor and before he could open
his mouth to say he was not a
thief, the mob was already around him, they lifted their sticks
up and landed him blows one
after the other. He lifted his
hands… Sammy: “What did I do wrong? I
am not a thief, it’s not me. I am
not the one” he cried as blows
landed on his body and he
shielded his face with his hands.
.
.
.
Oh no! It’s jungle justice
on the wrong boy. Will Sammy
survive this one?

EPISODE 19
He raised the compass as high as
he could but then he heard the
shuffling of feet outside his door.
He quickly hid the compass under
his bed, laid on the bed and
pretended to be asleep. The door slide open and Ophelia tiptoed
into the room. She sat on the
edge of the bed… Ophelia: “Sammy…”she called his
name in a whisper. “Sammy?” she
tried again when he did not
answer her. He stirred a bit, the
right side of his face was swollen
and reddish. She had taken with her a bowl of warm water and
towel. She dipped the towel into
the bowl and squeezed out the
water, reached out towards his
swollen face with it but he flung
her hand away. She tried again and the same thing happened. Sammy: “Please stay away from
me. What exactly do you want
from me now?” Ophelia: “I am just trying to help
you” Sammy: “I don’t need your help.
So just leave me alone” he said
and turned away from her. Ophelia: “Hmmmmmm! How can a
boy be so stubborn?” she said
and sighed again. Sammy: “You think I don’t know
you are the one reporting
everything to my dad? You are
such a nine tailed fox aunty and I
hate you from the bottom of my
heart” Ophelia: “Hate me as much as you
want. This is just a tip of the
iceberg. Just imagine what his
reaction would be when I tell him
how you readily gave Annie up?” Sammy: “I did not readily give her
up, she was snatched away from
me” he sat up with a scowl on his
face. Ophelia: “Who do you think he
will believe? He already knows
you as a spoilt little brat. See I will
advise you to just thread carefully
and start coming home the time
you used to before. Don’t even stay ten minutes late otherwise…”
she stood up and stepped back
from him. Looked at him for a
while, shook her head and left
leaving the bowl and its contents
behind. Sammy looked at her retreating
figure and cursed her in his mind.
“Mum even if you are dead, do
you have to just stand by and
watch our lives ruined by this
usurper? I heard the spirit of dead mothers do fight for their
progenies but you, why are you
sleeping so much? God! I am your
child, you did say children are
your heritage so why do you
watch while I am being tormented?” === Annie, now six years old was just
as brilliant and smart as Sammy
when he was the same age. Her
daddies were so proud of her
academic excellence that each
time she came first in her class, they got her a mirage of toys and
any other things she wanted. She
was indeed a princess living a
fairy-tale life. Ever since that fever
of hers, they took extra care
where she was concerned, taking her to the hospital every month
for check-up: they did not want a
recurring incidence. It was the end of third term in The
Embassy Primary School, her
nanny Ewatomi went to pick her
up from school. Ewa was a very
caring and nice lady of twenty
three years. She, like her daddies doted on her and was very
attentive to her just like a mother
would be. They had to get a
nanny for her when she was
three years because their jobs
became more demanding. At first they were afraid to leave her in
the care of an outsider because of
all the stories they’d heard and
read about evil nannies and
maids but Ewa who was Ralph’s
friend volunteered to help out since she was not so busy. She
wanted to do it free but they
insisted on paying her. When they got home, Ewa was so
curious to know what her report
card stated… Ewa: “Now that you have eaten
Annie love, please can I see your
report card now?” she winked
and contorted her face in order
for Annie to take pity on her and
show her the card but she just laughed. Annie: “Ahahahahahaha…see
your face like rat shit! I will not
show you. Never!” she said
hiding her card behind her. Ewa: “Where did you hear rat shit
from o. this girl you are getting
spoilt fa” Annie: “My aunty in school do say
it to anyone who is crying
unnecessarily in class” Ewa: “Okay o but why? Why
won’t you show me? I thought
we were friends?” she said
pretending to be sad. Annie: “Yes we are friends but I
want to show my daddies first.
Even I have not opened it yet.
Let’s wait for them you hear?
Don’t be sad, I will show you after
I show them then I will show myself too” her voice was just like
that of Alice in Wonderland. Ewa: “Awwwww! How can you
be so sweet?” she said and
gathered her into her arms. “How
I wish I gave birth to you, then I
wouldn’t ask for anything much
in this life again but just a comfortable life for you” Annie: “That reminds me…Who is
my mother?” She disengaged
from her embrace to look at her. Ewa: “Uhmmmm!” she did not see
the question coming. Annie: “Okay don’t answer that.
There is no way you’d know
anyway” she said and strutted to
the front of the TV to watch
cartoon on Nickelodeon station.
“Can I watch cartoon now please? Since I will not be going
to school anytime soon and I
have many days to do my
assignment?” Ewa: “Yes baby you can” she
replied smiling fondly at her. The heavy hands of sleep was
upon her but she refused to
succumb to it, she clutched her
report card in her hands waiting
for them to return. Ewa: “Annie, come let me tuck
you in now, it’s almost 9 o’clock
and you are supposed to be on
bed latest 8:30. You will show
them tomorrow okay?” she said
approaching her. Annie: “No! I will wait for them”
just then she heard their car horn
outside. “Tada! They are back”
she said excitedly. As soon as Paul had stepped in,
he saw Annie running towards
him with an envelope in her
hand. He stooped down and
threw open his arms as she
jumped into it. Paul: “My ever happy daughter”
she gave him a peck on the cheek
and went over to the Ralph and
Dickson, embraced and pecked
them one after the other beaming
with smiles. “Why aren’t you asleep yet? It’s way past your
bedtime. Ewa: “She was waiting for you o” Annie: “See my report card” she
extended the envelope to him. He
took it and tore open the seal,
unfolded it and “wow” escaped
his mouth. Ralph: “Let me see!” he said and
snatched it from him. “Wooooow!
Our baby is a genius. You got a
double promotion to primary
three? Come and give me a bear
hug jooor…” he said and scooped her into his arms spinning her
round and round until she could
laugh no more. Dickson: “But how can a girl be so
smart? She got 100% in all of the
subjects except Yoruba where
she got 95%. Wow! We will go
shopping on Saturday. Where
would you like to go this time? Shoprite?” Annie: “No! I don’t want anything
this time…” she looked down. Paul: “Hey! Is anything wrong?
How can our Annie not want
anything after getting a double
promotion?” he said worriedly. Annie: “I want to know my mum.
Everyone in school has a mum
and dad but I only have three
daddies and no mum. I want a
mum too” she said choking on
tears. The four of them exchanged
confused looks. That was the first
time she ever asked about her
mum. Ralph: “Sweetheart!” Annie: “Is my mother dead? If she
is dead then one of you should
get married so I can have a mum.
Aunty Ewa is a good person, why
can’t one of you marry her?” she
said looking from one embarrassed adult to another. Paul: “Don’t worry, you will know
your mum soon okay? I just hope
she really is alive and not
relenting in her search for her
daughter” === Richard could no longer bear the
tension between him and his son.
The wound on his face had
healed remarkably fast but the
one in his heart remained fresh.
At night when he thought Ophelia was asleep, he sneaked into
Sammie’s room to talk to him. Richard: “Sammy wake up” he
tapped him on the shoulder.
Sammy jerked up in his sleep
thinking it was his step mum. Sammy: “What is it this time? Why
won’t you let me rest? Would you
have turned me to your sex toy if
I were to be your son?” he said
drowsily looking distraught. Richard: “Sammy what are you
talking about?” he shook him
vigorously. Sammy: “Sir? Sir?” he was jerked
awake at last. Richard: “Who is turning you to
sex toy and where did you even
hear that word from?” Sammy: “I read it from a novel. It’s
nothing dad” he said and tried to
go back to sleep but his dad
stopped him. Richard: “Come on talk to me. You
did look terrific while saying that
a while ago. What is happening?”
he asked persuasively. Sammy: Daddy, I say never mind.
I was day-dreaming Richard: This is unusual. Where
did you hear that from?
Something is fishy. Talk to me
Sam. I’m your father. Sammy: “Hmm… It’s…it’s…aunty”
he started to weep.
.
.
Could that be end of the
road for Ophelia? Will Richard
believe Sammy?

Paul: “Ralph, you should go with
her. There is no time to waste” he
nudged him forward and he
followed the nurse. On getting inside the doctor’s
office, he saw Annie sleeping
soundly on the only bed inside
the office and heaved a sigh of
relief. Ralph: “Good afternoon doctor” Doctor: “Good noon to you too,
please have your seat” he said
looking at him from the rim of his
glasses. Ralph: “So what did the test result
indicate?” Doctor: “Nothing serious. It’s just
febrile convulsion which
happened because of her high
fever. Her temperature was 39°C.
I will prescribe some drugs for
you, make sure you administer them on her till she is stable
again” he scribbled something in
a jotter and passed it to him. Ralph: “But hope it’s not
epilepsy?” Doctor: “Not at all. It is a different
kind of convulsion and less
harmful than epilepsy though it
can still give rise to epilepsy if care
is not taken. Among the drug I
prescribed, there is anti- convulsant among them though it
might not be necessary she takes
it. Just make sure you get all the
drugs and administer them on
her like I instructed on the paper.
Good luck and for the record, your daughter is a very strong
and lovely girl” Ralph: “Thank you doctor” he
said, smiling. He stood up, took
the doctor’s outstretched hand in
a handshake, went over to Annie
and scooped her up from the bed
into his arms. Her temperature had gone considerably down but
he noticed she was weaker than
usual. “Sorry baby!” he
whispered into her hears and
walked out of the doctor’s office.
As soon as his friends saw hi, they both surrounded him asking
one question after the other. They
touched Annie gently and were
relieved to know she was no
longer running temperature as
much as she was earlier. === Soon enough, Sammy stopped
going home from school because
he knew she would be waiting
for him. He dreaded that moment
when she would climb him and
do the stuffs she did or the moments she made him do those
stuffs he did. He would linger
around the school, cook up every
possible excuse just to stay
longer outside. On that particular day when he
got back from school at past 7pm.
He might his dad in the sitting
room, angry while his step mum
was sitting with him. They were
waiting for him. Richard: “Where are you coming
from Mr Man? He queried him as
soon as she entered the sitting
room. Sammy: “I am coming from
school” he said looking down. Richard: “You are just coming
back from school by this time
Sammy? At this age? You are just
twelve years for crying out loud
and you are already keeping late
nights?” Sammy: “I had extra assignment
so I decided to do it in school” Richard: “So you are always
having a surprise outing? I have
been getting complaints about
you since this started but I
thought it will stop with time but
you are getting worst by the day. Why are you doing this Sammy?
Am I not a good father to you?” Ophelia: “Honey take it easy with
him please. He is still young, he is
just showing signs of puberty;
you know adolescence is setting
in so this is just normal” She
looked at Sam who gave her a look of disgust and she winked at
him, sticking out her tongue
seductively, he looked away as
his dad’s gaze was riveted on
him. Richard: “What nonsense
adolescence at the age of twelve?
He is just being rebellious and
nothing more. Why are you trying
to kill me? Was I the one who
killed your mum?” he regretted that statement as soon as they left
his mouth. Sammy: “Don’t ever talk about my
mum again. What do you know?
There is nothing you are good at?
You are neither good at being a
husband nor a father. If you were
you wouldn’t have given up so easily on finding Annie. You are a
coward da…” before he could
finish saying dad, his dad stuck
out his hand in a bidding flash of
lightening and struck him in the
cheek, blood few out from his mouth. Ophelia: “Richaarrrd! Why did you
do that? How could you strike
him like that?” she flared up
unexpectedly. Sammy was dazed for a moment,
even the tears refused to flow.
That was the first time any of his
parents will ever raise their hands
at him. He looked at his dad who
stood in front of him defiantly and just turned back and walked out
on him. Richard: “Come back here right
away you insolent fool. You dare
call me a coward? The next time
you do that, its belt I’d use on
you” he raved and slumped
down heavily onto the settee behind him. “I can’t believe this is
happening” he lamented sadly. Ophelia: “You shouldn’t have
done that honey, now you just
made issues worst. How do we
go about this now?” Richard: “Weren’t you there when
he was heaping abusive words at
me? So you expect me to just
keep mum?” Ophelia: “I am not justifying his
actions but you as an adult
should know better than hitting a
child like that. Please go and talk
to him” she said pleadingly. Richard: “No way! Just stay out of
this okay?” he warned and
walked out on her. She couldn’t
think of what to do. “Now i know
where Sammy got his
stubbornness from. they are both the same”she said to herself. === He walked inside his room grief
stricken and emotionally bruised.
He sat on the bed and looked
around, saw the picture of Annie
hung on the wall and walked
over to it. Sammy:” “Baby sister, hope you
are living a good life? Where are
you now? I know you must b
looking quite beautiful now. Your
birthday is tomorrow and also the
day mum died. I feel so alone, my life is ruined. I don’t know what
to do anymore” the tears flowed
freely now. “I am not even really
sure if you are alive and it’s all my
fault. I was not a good brother, I
did not protect you enough. I should have ran after those men
faster than I did. Mum must really
be mad at me now, I am a useless
son. Annie and mum, I miss you
two so much” he started looking
frantically around. “I don’t think it’s okay for me to keep living
right? All I have to do is push
something sharp inside my
stomach and I will be able to see
you two again right? What use is
living this kind of life? See what that woman has turned me to?”
just then he remembered the
compass in his bag and went for
it. He brought it out, held it tightly
in his hands and closed his eyes..…

confused as to what she wanted
him to do. Ophelia: “Remove your school
uniform” Sammy: “But why?” he asked
looking even more confused. Ophelia: “I am asking you to
remove it cos I want you to
something for me and I don’t
want your uniform getting
stained or do you want it
stained?” Sammy: “No aunty!” he concurred
and removed his shirt except his
singlet and shorts. Ophelia: “Remove everything
okay? Don’t forget you are
supposed to be doing everything
I ask of you cos of Annie?” she
said moving to the edge of the
bed. She unbuckled his belt then removed his shorts and boxer.
She saw his little penis and could
not believe it turned her on unlike
his father’s. She took hold of it
and caressed it but Sammy jerked
out of her reach. Sammy: “Aunty what are you
doing?” he was filled with sudden
fright and horror. Ophelia: “I am only measuring it
for an experiment my new
employer asked me to conduct.
You know I’ve been searching for
a job right? Well I got one already.
Come here so I can do what I ought to do fast” she said with a
desire-laden voice, reached out
and drew him closer again. She
removed the very skimpy gown
she had on revealing her ripe and
hard nipples to his consternation. He made to turn away but she
used her two legs to pin him
closer to her from behind and
drew his head into her bosom
before whispering into his ears
“Put your mouth on my breast and suck it the way you used to
suck your mother’s when you
were smaller. We are just doing
experiment for my work and
don’t forget how I can make all
your friends abandon you, even your dad. So behave yourself and
do as I say. Tears dripped from
his eyes as he did as he was bid.
He started sucking her left breast
as she held his head tight willing
him to pull away. She moaned so loudly he was
confused. She climbed fully onto
the bed pulling him along with
her, opened her leg wide to
reveal her already wet honey-pot
and asked him to put his mouth there too. He hesitated and she
pulled his head down forcefully.
“Use your tongue” she ordered
between clenched teeth. He stuck
out his tongue, tasted her and
struggled to pull away from her hold. Sammy: “Aunty please, I don’t
want to do it anymore. Let me go
to my room please!” he said still
struggling but she turned him
over and climbed onto of him.
Grinding against his little penis as a wave of pleasure swept over
her. She tilted her head back as
she felt herself climbing and
climbing then came crashing
down in torrents of spasms. She
sat still for some time then climbed off him. Ophelia: “Oh I loved that
experiment!” she said as he
jerked up and jumped off the bed
in a flash. “Hey! This is part of
how little secret, if you dare say a
word of this to your dad, I will send you to an early grave by
telling your dad I was asleep
when you sneaked into my room
and started touching my body. I
will tell him it’s the effect too much
movies are having on you. He will surely believe me because he
loves me more than he loves you.
No one loves you and that’s why
even your mum abandoned you.
But don’t worry, I will love you
very much from now on” she threatened then cajoled as tears
drizzled down the poor boy’s
face. She had broken him into tiny
bits. He picked up his school bag
and uniform and scurried out of
the room. === Richard got back home that day
and noticed his wife was in a very
good mood. She even hugged
and kissed him welcome. She
hummed a song as she prepared
dinner. He could not believe his eyes, he was curious to know
what caused her perky
countenance, he went to the
kitchen and pretended to be
picking something from the
fridge. Ophelia: “I know you are not
looking for anything in that
fridge. So spill it out” she said
smiling brightly revealing the two
dimples adorning her soft cheeks. Richard: “How much I missed
seeing those two ladies on your
cheeks” Ophelia: “What ladies?” Richard: “Your dimples, your
smile. So what happened?” he
went closer to her and leaned on
the zinc. Ophelia: “Nothing happened, you
mean I can’t be happy except
when something happens?” Richard: “You can be just that
you’ve been really cold lately and
I really missed you. I am glad to
have you back” he said and
kissed her mildly on the lips. Ophelia: “Well I am glad to be
back” she said stirring the afang
soup she was preparing. Richard: “Where is Sammy?” Ophelia: “He must be in his room,
I have not seen him since he
came back from school” Richard: “Oh really? I will go
check on him” he said and
walked out of the kitchen down
to the corridor adjoining to the
rooms. He met Sammy’s door
locked. He knocked and knocked but no reply came from the room.
He tried again and this time the
door knob turned and h door
flung open. “Sammy…What
happened to you?” he asked as
soon as he entered inside the room and saw how bloodshot his
son’s eyes were. Sammy: “Nothing dad, I am fine”
he said unable to look his dad in
the eye. Richard: “Then why does it look
like you’ve been crying all day?” Sammy: “I miss my mum daddy. I
really really do miss my mum” he
said bursting into fresh sobs. Richard: “Your mum is gone son!” Sammy: “Gone to where? Isn’t it
high time she came back?” Richard: “She is never coming
back again because she is dead.
She died that day in our presence
but we thought she was asleep” Sammy: “Well I know she is dead.
I know she is never coming back
but in order to be able to live, I
am telling myself she went on a
long journey and would be back
someday. I am not daft not to know dad but I just miss my
mum…why did she have to die,
why?” he struggled to dab off the
tears that were cascading down
his cheeks unto his chest, he felt
like his heart was on fire. He could not hold back all the emotions
raging inside of him, the hatred,
hurt and disgust he felt at the
moment was more than he could
bear. Richard: “I miss her too son but
what can we do? We have to let
her go so she can rest in peace” Sammy: “That is easy for you to
say cos you have what you
always wanted right? I remember
when mum was alive and
begging you for forgiveness, you
kept doing things to hurt her. You even brought your abomination
home. I just hate you dad, please
don’t talk to me” Richard: “How can you talk to me
like that? I and your mum had
our issues which you wouldn’t
understand just yet but I am sorry
though. I regret my action even
today” Sammy: “If you really do regret
your actions, then why did you
marry her?” Richard was speechless and just
stood there looking at his son. === Annie kept growing beautifully
well among her three daddies.
She called the three of them
daddy. She was a blessing to
them because with her there was
no dull moments in their lives anymore. They became better
people, even Paul who was a
Casanova changed overnight just
so he could have more time to
spend with her. Every weekend,
they would take her out, have fun around the city and get back
home early enough to prepare
dinner. They stopped eating out
in order for her not to grow up
getting used to it. They even
bought and read books on how to cope with single parenthood
for men. She was their little angel. That Sunday, they sat around
Annie playing with her while she
giggled and muttered
unintelligibly to them. Paul: “I cannot understand your
language baby. Oya say daddy!”
she just looked at him and
removed her eyes while the other
two laughed. Ralph: “See elaa part one” Dickson: “This girl ehn? She is
going to use guys’ eyes to see
shege. Imagine how haughty she
is becoming?” Paul: “Well you would have been
worst if you were in her shoes.
Imagine having three daddies
doting on you? Kai when she
grows ehn? If any guy messes
with her I will kill him. I swear I will maim him first, then later bury
him alive” Ralph: “Take it easy na. Do you
know how many girl you messed
with? Paul: “Well that is why I am saying
this because I know as e dey go.
If anyone messes with my
daughter…” Dickson: “Point of correction, our
daughter not your…” he said
tilting his head to one side and
even Annie started laughing. Ralph: “Oh baby!” he said,
scooped her up and threw her to
the air while she giggled and
jiggled happily. But all of a
sudden, her face became pale
and she went stiff for a minute and then started convulsing
violently. Paul: “Oh my God! What is
happening to her?” he said
looking bewildered as Ralph tried
containing her convulsion. Dickson: “Annie! Baby what’s
going on?” he said quivering
frightfully. Ralph: “Someone should get the
car ready, we are going to the
hospital now!” he ordered
impatiently as her convulsion
intensified. On their way to the hospital, the
convulsion stopped but she
started running a temperature. Paul: “Dickson aren’t we there
yet? Her temperature is running
wild” he said touching her
forehead as she laid on Ralph’s
laps. On getting to Balm of Gilead
Hospital, they were directed to a
paediatrician who conducted
some test on her as they waited at
the reception. Some minutes later,
a nurse came to call one of them to the doctor’s office… Nurse: “Please who among you is
the father of the girl?” she asked
looking from one to another. They all chorused “I am”. Nurse: “I meant who among you
gave birth to her? The doctor
wants to talk to her dad” she said,
looking confused. == Richard noticed that Sammy was
not improving, months had gone
by, and years yet he withdrew
further into himself. He stopped
doing the things he loved doing.
He stopped talking to people much including he his father. He
had tried several times to talk him
out of his bitterness but it had all
proved abortive. It broke his
heart to see his only son like that.
And to crown it all, Ophelia was yet to take in after five years of
marriage. He had covered up for
her with his mum when she
complained about it to him. He
had told her they didn’t want any
more children so they did family planning and that was just a lie.
She remained as youthful and
beautiful as she was the first time
she met him. Meanwhile Ophelia was radiating
with health and happiness. She
continued her sexcapade with
Sammy who was too scared to
open up to anyone because of
her threats. Even when he slept at night, she would sneak into his
room and have her way with him.
The more energy and
youthfulness she got the more
drained Sammy became. His dad
bought him different kind of drugs just to make gain little
weight but none of it seemed to
work. Ophelia seemed to be the
only one enjoying herself in the
house. To the other two, going
back home every day after school or work was like a nightmare
they wanted to wake up from.

Sorry guys for the late update

EPISODE 16
Sammy: “Ehn? So you think I am
dumb? I know what it is of
course: you were doing with a
lady what you are supposed to
be doing with my dad. What did
my social studies teacher call it again o…”he put his second
finger on his lips trying to
recollect what he learnt in a social
studies class. “Choi! I can’t
remember now, but she said it’s
an abomination and infact it has been banned in Nigeria, any lady
caught doing it will be sent to
kirikiri prison. Sebi you came to
replace my mum! Sebi all you do
is shout at me in this house. You
will be going to prison very soon” he said giving her a tongue out. She thought for some time and
remembered how he had used
his sister’s disappearance against
him several times and decided to
see if it will work again. Ophelia: “Have you forgotten so
soon?” she said in a whisper,
sitting down gently beside him. Sammy: “Forgotten what?” Ophelia: “Have you forgotten that
Annie’s disappearance was your
fault? I am going to your school
tomorrow, I will tell everyone in
your class what a terrible brother
you are. How you could not even take care of one tiny baby. I will
also tell your dad about it so he
can start blaming you too just the
same way everyone in school will
blame you. You will no longer
have any friend and people will start running away from you. You
know I can do it right?” Sammy: “Aunty I am sorry, I will
not tell dad what I saw so don’t
tell anyone this please?” Ophelia: “Then from now on you
will start doing everything I ask
you to do without complaining to
anyone? Just imagine how much
Annie must be suffering now
because of how terrible a brother you are? She might even be dead.
God I pity poor Annie” she said
pretending to be very sad. Sammy: “Don’t ever say she is
dead again!” he yelled on top of
his voice. Ophelia: “Hey! No screaming at
me from now on no matter what I
say to you otherwise the whole
world will hear about how
cowardly you are. Do you get
me?” Sammy: “Yes but please don’t say
she might be dead, I know she is
not dead, I am praying very hard
for her” his voice quivered with
sadness. Ophelia: “I guess we have a deal
now. That’s my boy!” she said
patting his head. “Gloria you can
now come out, we are good
now” she called out to her friend
who remained in the room so she could take care of the situation.
She came out clutching her bag in
front of her. Gloria: “I have to go now. I have
something I need to tell you so
come by the house whenever
you are free okay?” Ophelia: “Okay! Take care of
yourself for me” she said winking
at her embarrassed friend as
Sammy scrutinized her from head
to toe. Sammy: “I can’t believe she is
pregnant and still doing that
abominable thing. As far as my
teacher taught me, women
cannot get women pregnant.
Hmmmm! My dad is in trouble” he thought to himself and shook his
head in disgust. === The next day, she prepared and
went to Gloria’s place. She met her
husband who was preparing to
go out. He eyed her suspiciously
when he saw her, the memory
and doubts of that day still lingered on in his mind. He was
never comfortable with her, he
thought it was because she was
too beautiful but now he wasn’t
so sure anymore. Gloria made signs to her to wait
for her husband to leave so she
sat down quietly watching music
videos on Hiptv. She sprang up as
soon as Johnson had left and
went to meet her friend, hugged her at arm’s length because of her
pregnancy and place a light kiss
on her lips. Ophelia: “So you said you wanted
to see me? Here I am” she said
spreading her arms. Gloria: “Yes I said I wanted to see
you. I don’t know how you will
take it but I still have to let it out”
she said looking downcast. OphelIa: “Hmmmmm! What is it?” Gloria: “Please don’t take it the
wrong way. I want you to know
this is breaking my heart too but I
don’t know how to keep it up. I
want us to stop what we are
doing right away. I want to be a good mum to my child and a
good wife to my husband” Ophelia: “What are we doing that
needs to be stopped? What are
you talking about? It’s not like I
am stopping you from being a
good mum and wife to whoever
you want so what are you talking about?” Gloria: “I want us to put an end to
this relationship” Ophelia: “What? What are you
talking about? If it’s a joke please
stop it cos it’s not funny” she
sobered up immediately. Gloria: “I am serious dear. I really
am. I can’t do this anymore. Let’s
break up, you should face your
new home too and find a way to
start loving your husband too. I
know how much I made mine suffer, Richard is a nice guy, and
so please be a good wife to him” Ophelia: “Breaking up with me is
one thing but don’t ever lecture
me about how to run my own
marriage. How can you break up
with me now that I need you the
most? How can you?” Gloria: “I am sorry dear” Ophelia: “you promised me your
husband will not get in the way of
our love, have you forgotten so
soon? Have you forgotten all the
moments we share? I don’t think
I can live a sane life without you. Please reconsider your decision?
If you want me to wait till you
give birth, I will but don’t tell me
we are breaking up okay?” Gloria: “Well I mean it. We are over
from now on. We can be friends
but nothing more. If that is not
okay by you then I will have no
other option but to cut all
relations with you” Ophelia: “I swear you will regret
this. You will regret this” she said,
picked up her bag and dashed
out of the house blindly. === Richard noticed that his wife was
even more withdrawn than ever.
She acted like someone who was
heartbroken and he could not
remember ever doing anything
wrong to her. Each time he tried talking to her about it she’d shun
him down but one thing he could
not still fathom was why she was
so rigid on bed. All she did was lie
down while he worked his guts
out, he could not remember the last time he enjoyed making love
to her. That night after a bout of
boring and unsatisfying love
making, he rolled to his side of
the bed, looked at her and
realised she had turned her back to him… Richard: “Honey! What exactly is
happening between us? I can’t
seem to remember ever doing
anything to warrant this kind of
treatment from you. What is going
on? Please talk to me, your silence is killing” Ophelia: “You don’t know what
you did? Your offence is not
letting me be, I hate having sex
with you, I hate your stupid hard
body, I miss Gloria” she thought
to herself as tears flowed down her face. “Aren’t you satisfied
with the one you just did now?
Should we go again?” she asked
unemotionally. Richard: “You are getting me
wrong baby. The sex is one of it
but what I am mostly alarmed at
is your attitude towards me. Did I
unknowingly do something
wrong to you?” Ophelia: “Yes you did! I lost my
heart because of you and that
Johnson, I hate you two with
passion” she thought but ignored
his question. He was becoming
more annoying with each passing minute. Richard: “Aren’t you the one I am
talking to madam?” Ophelia: “Richie you did nothing
wrong to me. Can we just sleep
now?” Richard: “Fine then! Just know
that this is really frustrating, put
yourself in my shoes and you will
know how terrible I feel these
days” he said feeling so
disappointed and forlorn. She said nothing even though in her
mind, she felt sorry for him but
she just was too heartbroken
herself to meet anybody’s
expectation of her at that
moment. === Some weeks later, she sat in front
of the mirror in her room,
thinking of how to get another
lover to satisfy her sexual needs
since no matter how hard she
tried, or how hard Richard tried, he just wasn’t getting her there.
The whole thing disgusted her
especially since he could not give
her orals the way Gloria used to.
She heard the door open and
heard footsteps approaching the corridor which led to Sammy’s
room and knew he was back. She
went and stood by the door
waiting for him to show up. Ophelia: “Hey Sammy Come here!”
she ordered as soon as she
sighted him. Sammy: “Good afternoon aunty”
he said wearily. Ophelia: “Nothing good about
this afternoon, just come here
now” she said, turned and
walked back to the bed while he
followed her. “How old did you
say you are again?” Sammy: “I am seven year plus.
