Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 3
On this matter your mother d!ed on. She paid for what she didnât buy. Stay away from this, little Girlâ she said.
Immediately as she said this, I became Ă ngry in my mind. My heart was bĹŤrning, As every part of my body was shaking.
In the first place, I wanted to move closer to her and jump on her, But then I came back to sense. A person who k!lled my mum wouldnât find it hard at all to k!ll and demolish me. It would just be like a rat who want to fight a l!on. The rat would undoubtedly become food for the l!on. So I calmed down gently.
âBut Please, ma. I didnât understand the part âYour mum d!ed on thisâ please why did she d!e on it? â I asked, While my lips were shaking fearfully.
She looked more serious after I asked this, she turned back to me.
âIâve been living here with you in your house for more than ten years. I ought to have accomplished my mission and left, But your mum has been my problem since ten years ago. No way I would accomplish my mission without k!lling your mum, First of all. â She said.
The part where she said she had been living with us for more than ten years made me smile in my mind. But I didnât allow it to appear on my face. I just laughed in my mind.
âThis woman must be a good nollywood actress â I said in my mind.
âI knew you were laughing in your mind. Well if you think Iâm telling you a nollywood movie, Itâs fine. Youâre still young to understand thisâ she said.
This made me feel shocked. I couldnât imagine she would know what I was thinking and saying in my mind.
âLike how did she know what I said in my mind? â I wondered, In my mind again.
She smiled again and said.
âHow did I know it? Well you canât understand. Iâve already told youâ she said again.
Something like this has never happened to me. Though, It happens in nollywood movies but I donât know it happens in real life, Too.
Since I realized she knew whatever I think of in my mind. I chose not to think or wonder about anything again. Like it was just like,I couldnât even say what it was like.
âSo, For you to know I had a hand in your motherâs dèath, to serve as a proof that Iâve been with you guys for so long. Your motherâs s!ckness started in the midnight. Your daddy hasnât even woken up, you were the one who saw your mother crawling, Holding her leg, as she was groaning in pa!nâ She said.
âThis is getting serious â I sighed.
Yeah. To be candid, That was how it happened.
âThe first statement your mum made was âhelp me to wake you dad upâ â she said.
That was how it happened. Immediately as I saw my mum crawling, holding her leg, I ran to her and asked her what happened, But she said I should wake my Dad up. She had been waking him up, But her voice was lower then, and Dad had gone far in his sleeping.
âWell, have you believed now? â she asked.
Without wasting time, I nodded.
âYes, maâ.
âIâve been living close to the parlour âs door for a whileâ she said.
I hummed, feeling surprised, scared and sĂ d at the same time.
âBut please whatâs the mission you want to accomplish? â I asked.
She move a little more closer to me, remaining just like five more steps to me. Then she began talking.
âYour father had a hand in my dèathâ she said.
I thought I heard that by a mistake. I thought that wasnât what I heard, so I asked in surprise.
âI donât understand, ma. My dad did what? â
She smiled and said.
âDid I say he had a hand in my dèath? No. Iâve made a mistake. I d!ed a paĂŽnful dèath. Your father was the one who k!lled meâ she said.
To be sincere, I couldnât believe what she said. So I asked.
âLike, are you a dèad-soul? â I asked.
She smiled, and said.
âIâm a living-ghòstâ.
I was so confused. My mind wasnât at rest again. I was just looking at the right and left like a thĂŹef who was just released after being bèatèn brutally.
âBut do ghòsts talk? â I asked.
She smiled broadly and proceeded.
âAnyway, Me and your Dad met at st.loxis university in state. We gained admission the same year. I was studying economic, while he was studying accountancy. Well, I came from a rich home. But he came from a poor home. My parents, Both of them d!ed when I was still in secondary. They left all the property for me. Hope youâre listening? â she asked me.
I rapidly said
âYesâ.
âSo your father___ â
She was about to say more, when my Dadâs voice interrupted us from the downstair.
âWho is at home? âMy daddy said.
He didnât even wait for anybody to answer, he started shouting and calling my name.
âOmowumiiiii..!!!! â My Dad shouted my name.
