“please just let me go with Sikemi to her church, she’s already waiting for me at the church”. Romoke bit her lips, she has been feeling funny for days now though Sikemi told her that all she needed was just prayers as her enemies were already at work. She shut her eyes tightly as she continued pleading on the phone.“Ade please… ”” I said no…… Why must you go to Sikemi’schurch. You better come and meet me at home so we can go to the hospital and check you up”“what is with you and this Sikemi? What has she ever done to you?

She’s has been very nice to me but all you could do was toshow her hatred….

Why?”“uhmm… I.. I don’t hate her, when you come over I will tell you the reason just don’t dare go! Okay! ” he barked. Romoke cringed and held her phone tightly.” you can’t tell me what to do, you are not facing what am passing through so just let me be Ade,”“okay, baby am sorry, okay? Just come over don’t be stubborn ”” you know ever since you left that police station, you’ve been acting weird, you just need to go and get yourself a doctor, you need the check up more than I do” she quickly cleaned her tears, Ade had been acting all weird ever since he has been released, he shouted at her and got angry unnecessarily.“ooh Romoke now I need to see a psychiatrist right? Bravo Romoke just keepon insulting me.. ” she hung up and switched off her phone. That was it, she wasn’t going to listen to his rantings. She had already called Sikemi earlier and she was already waiting for her at the church, she had given her the description of the church.

She picked her bag and headed to enter a taxi.

She saw a green and white coloured car and got in.“mabuchi road ”” na 500 naira” the old man said to her and she noded at him and he drove off. They stopped to pick four more people and they were all guyz as she was the onlylady.

She smiled at the short man beside her who was staring at her. The last thing she saw was the short man grinning at herwit his brown teeth out before she blankedout.************************She squinted her eyes as she peered through the darkness that enveloped her, she tried moving her hands but it was as though her hands were tied.“you don wake abi, “? Romoke shook her head as if to remember, where was she? She asked herself, suddenly the masculinevoice that spoke switched on the light. Her eyes danced around the man that had switched on the light. Her eyes got wide in surprise as she struggled on the chair she was tied on.“you, what have you done to me? ” the short man suddenly grinned again revealing familiar brown teeth.” you were in the taxi with me,…. What have I done to you”. She shook her head as tears began to fall freely from her face.

She could remember the man grinning at her until she blanked out, they must have done something to her she thought. Suddenly another man entered, he was taller than the other man.“ohk, you are awake. Our Boss will be here soon so just try to eat something okay?”the tall man uncovered a plate of jollof rice and uncorked a bottle of coke, he sat in front of her picked a food to it herbut was rejected by Romoke’s tightly shut lips.“madam abeg open your mouth chop this food now! ” she cried, with cattarh droolingover her cloth. the tall man picked the spoon and fed her with it again, this time around she swallowed the rice and threw out the rice which splattered over the man, the tall man slapped her in return” I say open your mouth and swallow this food, you think say I come here come play?” After feeding her about half of the plate and some of the coke, he stood up and left leaving the short man who switched off the light again“our Boss will soon be here ” he said and shut the door, with blanket of darkness overshadowing her.*****************************Ade kept on trying a number on his phone but the customer care’s voice answered back with” the customer you are calling is currently switched off”. He flung his phone on the sofa and walked to the kitchen, he had wanted apologizing to her about his behaviour but this her friendship with Sikemi was something else. He reached for a cup and filled it with water, he gulpedalmost half of it and headed back to the sitting room, he opened his mouth in surprise as he saw the lady of his past dressed seductively and smiled at him.


How could she have gotten inside, he looked around and focused on her again curling his hands into a fist“what are you doing here!!! “…
