The Dirty Saint

42

My head was banging and my eyes were spinning, The first thing that came to mind immediately I saw the video was my parents

My mom would die of an heart attack if she sees the video, this would ruin my dad's reputation. Chike will be so disappointed in me, blessing will say I told you so. I hope my younger siblings don't ponder on it, what examples will I be setting for them

Knowing that this is entirely my fault made me want to strangle myself. If I had listen to Nosa that day and went ahead to meet Chiley even though that was a complete disaster and missed my meeting with chief I would have never been in the hotel room and entertain the thought of making a video of myself and chief while having sex.

I was so sure this was going to be my getaway ticket but how could I have known that we would be ambushed by robbers and my phone would be stolen

And I have completely forgotten that I made that video and those bloody miscreants just had to make my life even more miserable by posting the clip on social media

Panic ran through my spines.
Everyone has seen it,
I retrieved my sim but I didn't have a phone to put and now that I came back with a new phone am not even eager to use it

Am scared I might just collapse when I see it..  
Aah God, I cried softly
My life have been filled with so much pain and regrets in such a short time

The knock on the door was like raindrops to my soaked sanity. I moved slowly to answer the door and it was Asabe

"Aaaaah auntie. You are back " she hurried inside and locked the door

"What is it Asabe "

"Aunty some men in suit came here yesterday they were looking for you. I told them you weren't around but just  they barge in and started looking everywhere for you they turned the apartment upside down and kept asking where you were. Immediately they left I was so terrified I tried to reach you but since your phone was stolen I had to call aunty Nosa but her line wasn't reachable too. I wanted to tell you to stay back where you are and not come home for now because am sure they will come back  so it is not safe to be here"

"men in suit, but what do they say they want " I was confused

"I don't know, they just barge like they own the place and I couldn't stop them "

"But i dont understand, its not like i owe anyone money and You think they'll come back " she nodded
"I... I... Didn't do anything wrong maybe they have the wrong person "
what if it the cult members from Lagos. They must have our info and they are looking for us after we ran away from the club

", They were asking for you, they called your name and they even know your car, they were asking why You left your car behind "

"They recognize my car "
I couldn't stand straight, I squat and then sat on the floor.

There was so much running through my mind and it feels like am going to explode.

"Aunty..... Pls don't cry, I think we need to leave right away "

"But where do I go"

"Maybe You should go to aunty Nosa's place for awhile "

"Are You sure the men who bulldozed their way here won't find me at Nosa's. I can't risk putting her own life in danger too. "

"So what would you do "

"I think I need to go back home"

In over three years of my stay in university and my years of the freedom never have I ever felt like home is my safe haven
