Countless - S01 E62 (Story Episode)

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 62

After using all the lying tactics in the whole world, Joke refused to budge in her determination to help me fight this flimsy battle with my dad’s Uncle

I used an all-attack lying formation, 2-3-5, 1-3-6, all to no avail. I even resorted to parking the bus with 9-1-0, but no amount of my Moses display of miracles can have effect on her Pharaohtic Mind

Joke was surfing through the DvD disc collection when suddenly, a brilliant idea dialled the number of my brain. I chuckled wickedly and decided to try my new luck

I looked at the dial of the wall clock opposite my position, the time was quater past 2. I reached for my phone and scrolled to the Alarm settings. I set the alarm to 2:17pm and changed the alarm notification tone to my phone’s incoming ring tone

Satisfied, I dropped the phone on the couch. I approached Joke and engaged her in another topic in anticipation of the 2mins I set for the Alarm to ring out

“Joke, where’s Nike and Dor….I mean your mum” I nearly blew it right there

“Nike went with Mum to our SuperMart” She replied still focused on the disc collections in her hand

“your mum own’s a Super Mart??”

I waited for her reply for 3secs before I repeated the question

“Yes now! Beside Crown Royal at Grammar school……..Yes! I found it” She screamed holding a disc titled EMPIRE season3 at my face

“Is that what you’ve been looking for since all this while?”

“yes oooo! Darous, I love this film soo much…” She took the remote controller “infact I…” The sound of my phone interrupted her, I pretended not to hear the sound. She looked at me “Your phone!” She said pointing to the couch

“my phone?….oh… Yes, my phone” I headed back to the chair and pretended to have picked the call

I turned around facing her “its my mum”

“hello mum (silence) yes I still have it(silence) tomorrow? I can’t come tomorrow(silence) what about next week?(silence) ah, so soon?(silence) eh?mum, can’t it wait till next week?

(silence) ok….I’ll try to make it tomorrow then(silence) alrite mum. See you tomorrow. Love you…..” I dropped the call and studied the reaction on Joke’s face

“what did she say?”

“hmm, she said that one of her own uncle have adviced us to provide the house documents with me tomorrow. He said my dad’s uncle can not evict us out of the house if we show them the house documents”

“do you still have it?”

“yes but its at home…I’ll have to go home today so that I can get it, and travel very early tomorrow morning”

“then it means we won’t be needing our Lawyer’s help anymore” She said reluctantly and inserted the disc in the DVD player. I nearly screamed for joy after hearing that

She returned to the couch, settled beside me as we began to watch EMPIRE

Around 4pm, Jide called to inform me that he’s back in Abk

After the usual nigga salutes, I told him about my present predicament. He was sceptical at first, but later believed when I told him that, if Adedoyin was really saying truth; I’ve got less than 4days to sort myself out to avoid bidding this P---y world a farewell

“ah, this one serious o…you know wetin go happen? Lets meet this evening around 6. We go sort it out”

“ok..ah dey come house gan self to pick something”

“alright, be safe Darous, me and Abel dey house, we go dey expect you”

“Abel don come back!” I asked in suprise

“yes bro, he came back with me yesterday”

“ok thats nice..see you guys soon”

“sure…but don’t pass any shortcut o, pass the main road wey people go plenty, so that those guys no go fit attack you for where plenty people dey”

“you get sense Jendor, ah don hear” I ended the call

Abel, is a very rugged niggar, he is the capon of a feared secret cult in our area. He’s the type that doesn’t give death a fvck. I was really happy hearing that he came back with Jide. Now those robbers stands no chance against me with Abel and his gang beside me

I alighted from the taxi at the noisy crowded junction of my area at few mins past 6. The distance between my house and the junction is far but trekkable. I was a few distance to my house when I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder

I was very scared and turned around abruptly only to be met with the sight of an elderly woman in a C.C.C white garment

“peace be unto you my child, the spirit of Gawd asked me to warn you about the path you are threading, it leads to distruction and….”

“Mama” I cut in “you mean, there’s danger ahead of this road wey ah dey pass?” I questioned anxiously pointing to the tarred road

“yes my child, repent now that there’s still grace, because tomorrow may be too late, Gawd really loves you”.

I hissed as the real content of her message settled into my brain.

I turned around and walked away briskly ignoring her shouts and efforts to call me back

She calls herself a prophet, who cares? But until a prophet gives me sure soccerbet Odd of 10, I’ll never believe in any of them

I trudged the remaining distance to my house and was greeted by Jide and Abel
