Is It A Sin (Trauma) - Season 3 - Episode 9

“Ma, someone is looking for you outside.” I explained.

“Who is that? But I’m not expecting any visitor” Mrs. Chioma asked baffled.
“Ma, he is a man, somehow old, he has a bushy teddy, he is somehow tall and he has round face with pinks lips.” I narrated
“What did he call himself?” Mrs. Chioma asked boastfully.

“He said he is one Chief Nnamdi Richard.” I {Jeff} voiced out brusquely.
“Eh!” Mrs. Chioma and Chief Mattew screamed in chorus.

…::::::…:::::::….::::::…..
“What happened ma?” I (Jeff) asked strikingly.

“Nothing” Mrs. Chioma expressed.
“Yes, should I send him in?” I (Jeff) asked motionlessly.

“No… Noo o. no o…” Chief Mattew and Mrs. Chioma screamed in chorus, they were shaking, shivering, panting and sweating at a time despite the cool air that rent the house from the Air Conditional.

“Send him out, I don’t want to see him please” Chief Mattew screamed not audible at all, but I managed to read what he said from his moving and shaking lips.

“Okay ma.” I (Jeff) responded as I walked out coherently. I head for my cubicle and I sat down watching the drama played by Mrs. Chioma and her husband on my laptop.
.
“But you told me that you poisoned and he is dead.” Chief Mattew said with some kind of husky voice.

“Yes, I poisoned him and I confirmed that he is dead, we did his funeral and if I could remember you witness his funeral.” Mrs. Chioma defended herself from being guilty of her husband charges.

“Does that mean the ghost wanted to fight back?” Chief Mattew vocalized.

“Never, he is a ghost and he must remained a ghost, he has nothing to do with the living anymore, I just think we have to safeguard our self from been humiliated.” Mrs. Chioma explained.

“Hmmm.” Chief Mattew paused.
“Call Jeff for me.” Chief Mattew commanded Mrs. Chioma and she reluctantly head to my cubicle to meet me.
.
“This is enough as an evidence.” I said to myself and I ejected the Flashdrive which I had used to copy the recorded video and I shut down my system. I quickly walk out from my cubicle, I went to the gate and I was closing the gate falsely.

“Where are you coming from?” Mrs. Chioma asked looking elegant as usual in her dress but looking woeful in façade.

“Ma, I didn’t meet the man (Chief Nnamdi Richard) you send me to deliver your message to, I search everywhere in this compound but I don’t even find his traces, so I went outside to see maybe he was waiting for me outside but he was nowhere to be found, I think the man is a ghost.” I finalized.

On hearing the word “ghost”, Mrs. Chioma nearly collapsed, she looked dizzy and weak, fear griped her from head to toe, she was just shaking and shivering at the spot she was standing, I was just wondering that she feared Chief Nnamdi so much like this; I could see she was fighting the tears from dropping from her face.

“Madam, should I come and collect the food?” I asked non-concerned, but she only turned back and opted for the sitting room. I stool still at the point I was standing, I was motionless, I knew I had did a well done job but I knew I am risking my life in doing this, I also fear I may became her prey but I was courageous that I won’t fall her prey since she doesn’t even suspect that I’m an imposter. “Well life its self is a risk, I just have to do this.” I thought. Lately that night, I send the video to my boss via Whatsapp because who knows if she will suspect of trapped me, shortly after the message was sent he replied thus: “A job well-done, be ready to leave that place and this video must be confidential, it must not leak also avoid been suspicious because you are their doom and you are there.” I smiled after reading the reply; I don’t even know when I later fall into slumber.

{BACK TO THE MAIN SCENE}
.
“Ah!” All the listeners exclaimed surprisingly in chorus.

“Ah! Mama so you are the one in darkness that had been shooting arrows into the lightness all this while.” Chiamaka yelled brusquely.

“I said it!” Obinna screamed.
“I knew my foster mother was a big and mighty witch. Weldon ma {he laughed}. Father please who is my original mother and where is she? And where did you meet this big and old fool (pointing to Chief Mattew who was looking down).” Obinna asked abruptly.
“Obinna, I will answer all you question.” Chief Nnamdi cautioned.

“He is a good in appearance but bad in behaviors and attitudes friend of mine, he is a childhood…
