Murica - Season 1 - Episode 2

My River Wife

I enter school and saw that class has already started, i gently enter the class and sat down thank God the lecturer didnt question.

Everything went well in school till we close, by 2pm i was on my way home when rain started falling heavily so i quickly branch to my friend house that is closer to stay with him till the rain stop, my friend name is Joseph.

I enter their compound and knock on his door.

Jojo: who is there?

Me: guy its me Oz.
:
I heard the door unlock and i open the door.

Jojo: how far na.

Me: guy i they oh how parole?

Jojo: we just they, you are just coming from school?

Me: yes oh.

Jojo: okay na.

Me: what are up to?

Jojo: nothing just solving some physics question (my friend is studying polymer).

Me: okay oh.
:
i remove my shirt and rest on his bed, i didnt know when i sleep because the next thing i heard was Jojo calling my name, i sluggishly open my eyes and was surprise to see that everywhere is dark.

Me: so i slept off?

Jojo: yes, rain has stop falling and its dark.

Me: why didnt you wake me up since na?

Jojo: didnt want to disturb you oh.

Me: you self.
:
i check my phone and saw that it past nine.

Me: Jesus, which kind sleep i sleep na?

Jojo: me surprise self, make i escort you?

Me: dont worry i will run home.

Jojo: okay then.

I thank him and left his room and then started running home, today is friday and i plan to travel to Afuze to visit my mum but now i guess that wont be possible, i will just go early morning tomorrow.

I continue running home even though the road is not good, anytime rain fall here the road will always be bad, i was running not even minding that my clothes will be stain and even my fine shoe will spoil but yet i dont mind.

Auchi is a rugged place with many cultist because of the school Auchi Poly, if you dont want any trouble dont stay long outside, i got home and clean myself up and then i warm food and eat, i relaxed on my bed and started pressing phone, as i was pressing phone one of my friend called.

Me: Victor how far?

Vic: i they oh, you been say you wan enter Afz?

Me: yes but night don reach na.

Vic: i they enter there now with my uncle bike.

Me: really abeg come carry me sharperly.

Vic: no lele but you go find me something oh.

Me: no worry i go dash you hundred naira.

Vic: ha wey e be say Auchi to Afz na three hundred naira?

Me: guy you be my friend na just show abeg.

Vic: okay oh.
:
i quickly arrange my things and came out of my house waiting for Victor, i know my mum is against me traveling in the night but i dont have a choice since i wont spend much and beside He will drop me in front of my house.

I waited for ten minutes before he called me and told me to come to the main road, i took my bag and walk there, i saw him with his bike.

Me: guy how far (i shake him).

Vic: i they oh.
:
i sat on the kanchen bike and then he fired it.
We were discussing on the way about school stuff, he is also a student of Auchi poly and my hometown friend too so we know each other very well, we left Auchi and enter the road to Ivbiaro another town in Owan East L.G.A, Victor was running very fast and i like it, we pass the bridge to Ivbiaro and we came across the tick bush before the town, the bush is so tick that if not for the Express road, the place would have be a tick forest.

We pass Ivbiaro, Ihievbe and before we enter Afuze we saw something like a wolf on the road close to the bridge, and Victor match break at once and the bike throw us away inside the dark river.

I didnt know what happened next because i passed out but when i gain myself back i felt somebody holding my leg dragging me on the ground, i manage to open eye and saw a yellow girl wearing old london gown wear, she was dragging me on the ground to where i dont know.

She drag me into a wild forest and then left me there, she left and i look where i am but i dont know, all i see is tall trees and short grasses, a hill and moutain.

I heard her footstep approaching so i close my eyes again, she came and open my mouth, she pour water inside my mouth and started rubbing my head singing a song with her melodious voice like a bird.
:
where the hell am i?
