Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 4
felt I had struck jackpot. My heart leaped and to be
candid with you guys, I saw it performing acrobatics.
Chei, I was a circus performer at heart. I was busy
smiling when..
“Attai, are you there?”
I heard that beautiful voice again. You know that
feeling na? When after walking under a scorching
sun, someone gives you very chilled pure-water to
drink. You know how you will sip the water little by
little to preserve it. That was how I wanted to
preserve the moment. I was savouring each sound of
her voice.
“I am but my spirit, soul and body transformed by
cosmic powers is seated close to you. Angel, your
voice can make a man do things that will make the
world question him later”
I dropped that one. Seriously, I did not know when I
said that. It just came out.
“You are flattering me again ba. Okay, bye”
And did I beg her not to drop the call? Nope. I know
say I don get her and nothing she fit do again. She
was already within my grip and me, when I hold
something wey dey priceless, to leave am dey like
big work. I punched the air and screamed, my hand
holding my mouth tight. I was boiling over with joy.
“You are celebrating the devil”
My colleague who I believe had been eaves-dropping
my conversation suddenly spoke out.
“I will ask God for forgiveness later”
I replied him. He shook his head and went ahead to
tell me the story of a man who said he would give
his life to Christ at the last minute. He ended up
dying in an accident. His head was cut off from his
mouth upward. Now that story scare me, na so I
open my mouth like say I wan breath, sharpaly
exclaim silently sha:
“God forgive me.”
See, na normal thing to pursue woman o, but men, I
dey always fear make e no be when I dey give do’g’gy
style to babe na im trumpet go blow. How I wan
carry explain? Na utmost ffuucckking for hell be that

(Una don watch that Liberian girl testimony na)
“See you. Just continue for your misdeed”
He said.
“Your hell-fire go hot pass my own”
I shouted back at him.
Office through out that day was fun as I did things
that made other workers to stare at me. If you wey I
senior just say,
“Attai, abeg help me fetch water make I drink”
Normally, I go use bad eye look then warn you make
you no ever make that mistake again. For where.
This time, na speed I dey carry go fetch the water. I
dey do all those things just for time to run but the
time self just stiff die like say earth dey find am
difficult to rotate again. Pardon my pidgin. I know
say e dey hard una read sometimes.
I waited till closing time, 6:00pm. First time I did not
inform my boss I was leaving. I just went to where
my bag was kept. Opened it, sprayed my chinese
perfume for body. Entered into the restroom,
looked at my face and spoke some words of
encouragement to me. You know how they say, if
you don’t talk to yourself, who will?
I walked outside, entered the lift and stopped at the
last floor. From there I proceeded to walk to the
bus-stop. I no get car so babes, make una know that
one now. I had gotten to NNPC towers when my
phone rang. I looked at the screen, it was the same
number. I quickly picked it. I waited and the person
at the other end waited too. Sensing she wanted to
play with me, I opened my mouth…
“Only the sound of your breath is lifting me up here.
