☆☆ EPISODE 9 ☆☆
” Am not afraid to die” words from a brave. But deep inside, he wouldn’t want to die.
” My dead? How? Mom ! Dad!, this joke is too expensive ” I muttered out with fear. My mother buried her face down, with unspoken tears running down her face. My father cleared his thought and said slowly to me.
“Son, I wish it’s a joke, but sooner or later, death will eventually come…”
” …just stop dad!!! What are you saying? That am going to die? Forget it dad, I just escaped the death and mom stop crying, nothing is going to happen to me” I cut in.
I watched as my mom wiped away her tears with the edge of her rapper.
” listen to me son, its an omen of something very terrible. You are walking towards your death son. You are engaged with death. What have you been doing? What have you gotten yourself into? Speak up !! Tell me the Truth!!! ” my mom shouted. And for the first time in my life, she raised her voice on me. I wasn’t a brat, but I have always receive something they called mother’s love. She brought me up with so much love, she has always been my guide and my second best friend.
I felt like opening up to her, but I didn’t want to do it in front of my dad.
” can I have some minutes with you privately mom?” I requested. My dad looked into my mom eyes, then he excused us.
” mom… Am sorry, I went to a party with my friends, but things turned out bad, some bunched of girls led by someone I would call their leader, attacked the party before we could go in, fortunately we were spared. Few weeks ago, I met with leader at a club house, she has interest in me…and she collected my number, but it’s seems she doesn’t recognize me. The night you messaged… I was expecting to meet her, but I couldn’t due to the message I got from you, could that be death am walking into?” I asked.
” I don’t know son, but do all you can to stay away from her, I don’t want to lose you, I don’t want to bury you with my hand. So please do this for me ” she said with tears.
” you won’t lose me mom” I said then I embraced her.
I returned back to school the following week, some students were shocked when they see me, well I later learnt that I have been declared missing. I narrated my stories to my friends and also the well wishers, that cared to know why.
Whenever I remember my adventure in the evil forest, I always have this feeling of success and luck.
After an hour of insipid tutorial, joy came running at me with some great speed. She threw herself on me in front of all the departmental mate, there was a humming, but she care less about it.
” I heard the story from your best friend Agatha, are you really okay? ” she asked.
” yes… I am. But my best friend wouldn’t have tell you that ” I said .
” yea, she won’t have, I actually lied that… I liked you and that…I really care about you ” she said shyly.
” hmmm, she told you because you said the true, not because you lied. She knows when someone is lying ” I said with a chuckling.
” shut up … Whatever… So you think I like you?” She said trying to form an anger.
” I don’t think you like me, I know you like me. You said it yourself to my Beastie ” I replied with a smile.
” whatever ” she muttered.
” can we have lunch together? ” I asked. She replied by nodding her head happily.
We walked hand to hand to the school canteen but we met David and his goons along the way, he seems uncomfortable seeing joy with me. I tried to ignore him but he wouldn’t let the sleeping dog lie. He and his friends organized themselves and they blocked our way.
” hey!!, what are you doing with my girlfriend? And why are you holding her hand as if she’s your wife” he shouted.
” David get out of my way” I retorted.
