Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 63

I got home and went straight to my door after exchanging niggar-like-pleasantries with Jide and Abel

Jide already informed me that 3 of the Judas(es) have moved out of the house leaving only Jyboh and Spartacus to the 2 occupied apartment

The handle damaged by the robbers on the night of the robbery has been repaired by the caretaker. I scrutinized the room and was satisfied that nothing was missing

It was dark already, I switched on the rechargeable lamp and began to search through my files and credentials for the house documents I planned to tender for Joke to make her fully believe that am truly going to my home town the next day

After 3mins of meticulous searching, I found it and headed outside towards Jide’s room after locking the door

I sat on the bed alongside Abel and re-narrated my ordeal to them in full details

Abel got a notification tone from his laptop and instantly got busy with it

“guys, please excuse me, make ah relate with this client” Abel said and returned his attention to the Laptop

“Darous, this one serious o, but are you sure your Dad’s uncle will be able to help before friday arrives?” Jide asked after taking a deep sigh and settled himself in a plastic chair

“95% sure, he’s the only one that can understand and also keep it hidden from my mum” I replied firmly

“well, lets hope for your sake that you are right, cos am sure if you die like this, no lawyer can help you to beg Gawd not to throw you inside the V.I.P section of hell fire alongside devil”.

“you dey madt, what of you? Idiot” I hissed jokingly

We chatted about his Gf and many other related things before the NEPA people did their unusual duty; they brought the light

“Darous no vex o, abeg make ah finish with this client quickly” Abel stated apologetically without taking his eyes off the dial of the Hp laptop

“take your time bro….wetin dey for your freezer Jendor?”

Jide squeezed his face “wetin you wan drink?” He asked after hesitating for a while

“anything go do..but goldberg na hin sure pas” I rested my head on the pillow “you get am?”

“for where? The only drinks wey dey inside my room na Borehole water. Blessing don drain my wallet finish” He rose up and checked inside his wallets. “na 1,500naira dey here and ah go still chop tomorrow, my soap don finish, kerosine no dey my stove, ah go still need to buy food stuffs, my bathroom slippers don cut, ah go need a new toothpaste, the chewing stick wey ah use last week nearly scatter my teeth..my card don….” I smiled at his usual rambling way of telling me that he’s broke

“idiot. Just tell me say you no get money instead of narrating your budget…mumu” I cut in jokingly

I reached for my wallets and gave him 5k to buy 1 crate of chilled Goldberg of 2,500naira and 2k Suya meat

Jide exited the room hurriedly to carry out the friendly errand

Joke’s call alarted my phone while I was waiting for the return of Jide

“hello bae”

“Dear, where are you?”.

“just got home few mins ago, but am still at home sha” I replied

“Have you found the documents?” she queried agogly

“am still searching for it o…but I’ll soon be back”

“Its already dark, please make sure you avoid trouble at all cost o” She said with a worried tone

“sure”

“what should I prepare for you? Mum bought some sliced bread”

“hmmm….prepare toast bread with sardine…that will do”

“alright…right away” she stated with a voice of alacrity

“thanks bae, love you” I don’t know why I said that but before I could think of taking it back, she replied and ended the call

Abel was still concentrated on the laptop as Jide walked in bearing a crate on his left shoulder and a nylon bag of suya with his left hand

“guy, what took you so long… I was beginning to think you don run away with my money na” I said amusingly as I opened a goldberg and gulped it down to the bottle’s chest region

“you be idiot, no be the poster wey we go use for your obituary ah go price” He stated playfully with a suya meat in his mouth

Abel busted into laughter “you guys never change..thats why I love being in your company” he remarked and opened a bottle of goldberg

“Jide, just pray say ah no die o. If ah die….hun…if ah die…”

“ehn, wetin go happen”

“make you no cry for me….for me” I sang in Dagrin’s tone and Jide chorused along

We discussed about my next day’s journey to my home town and Jide decided to follow me just incase of incasitx

At 10:12pm Jide and Abel escorted me to the junction where I boarded a taxi to my Girlfriends house

***

I woke up very early the next morning to the alarm of my phone, I hurriedly got dressed and bade Joke, Nike and there Mum a goodbye

“be safe for me please, call me if anything unusual comes up” Joke stated with an awful tone and gave me a peck at the gate.

Promtly at 6.am, Jide met me as planned at the Lafenwa garrage where we boarded a 5-passenger Datsun car for the journey to Oyo state

On the way, something unexpected and unaticipated occured
