The betrayal

"your dad is a stunner"

Chapter 13

We set off on our journey, I put Muneiwa's seat-belt on as I closed the door behind me.

I sat on the front seat with my dad, he drove for what felt like four hours before we arrived our first stop.

I took Muneiwa to the bathroom before we could get food, as we walked into the garage, I felt a strange presence, it was as though there was someone following me, but each time I looked back  I saw no one.

We got our food and when we got to the counter, I realized I left my purse in the car, there was already a queue behind me and leaving the queue would mean having to start over again, I explained to the cashier what is happening and she told me the food is already paid for.

"oh really? wow, I guess dad must have paid for this before we came from the bathroom, but how did he know what we would want and how much it would cost?" i asked the cashier

"I guess he must know you that well, I wish my father knew me this well, I envy the relationship you have with your father, not to mention how handsome he is, my word your daddy is a hunk" she replied.

"Uhm okay, I don't know about that but  do know he is already taken by my absolutely gorgeous mom so its okay if you stare and admire his looks from far but keep it at just that cos if you go beyond that, we gonna have problems" I said in a very serious tone.

"Hey relax, why are you so uptight, am I the first person to compliment your dad's handsome looks? have you seen that man? hes a stunner, but anyway I was just saying hey, tell him I wished him a safe journey" she winked after saying that.

I took my plastic bags walked away, before I exited, I heard a scream, I looked back and I saw the cashier girl was wet and she had some cream on her hair and face, it came to my attention that Muneiwa was on-top of the counter and she was pulling her hair, I ran back and pulled her off the cashier, "leave my daddy alone, don't even look at him or next time I will pull off your eye lashes" she shouted.

The people in the queue, were laughing, clapping and cheering her on saying she taught her a good lesson.

"Newi what are you doing baby? you cant just go around hitting people and pulling their hair, what you did back there was wrong, don't ever do that okay"

she had a scowl on her face and she shook her head " that lady is a pig, she deserves it for checking out my dad now I gave her pie to eat for the rest of her life"

I looked at her little face and I saw how serious she was, she looked so adorable so I just couldn't help but laugh, we got to dad's car and found him singing along to a gospel song on radio.

"Thanks dad, you are super awesome" Newi said while she gave him a kiss on the cheek and put her tiny hands around his neck.

Daddy was shocked but he gladly put his arms around her tiny body and then asked "okay why am I so awesome again and what did I do to deserve a hug from this little princess?"

"The food daddy, how did you know what we liked? and that bimbo behind the counter thinks you are hot, haha she will not be thinking that of anyone else's father anymore I made sure of that" Newi pouted and folded her arms like a little Missy.

daddy cracked up and asked who is the bimbo and what did Newi do to her to ensure she doesn't find anyone else's dad hot?

I related the story and daddy laughed so hard, he couldn't believe Newi actually did that, then he said he knows nothing about the food but we did get some yummy treats.

"you girls totally outdid yourselves, you really shop hard hey, but I honestly have no idea who paid for all these, maybe my good looks scored you guys some free food" daddy chuckled.

Newi frowned and rolled her eyes, she refused to eat anything that came from the bimbo and we were forced to stop by another food court to get her food just to make sure she eats.

before we knew it, we had arrived the village, I was now driving as daddy seemed to be tired, just when I was about to pass the school I went to before moving to the city, I heard a weird noise, daddy and Newi were sleeping and I was suddenly forced to stop the car to see what was happening.

I got off the car and I saw there were three snakes  surrounding the car, one very big one got itself tangled on the car tyres and that explained why the car would not move, it looked very big and vicious, the other two were on either sides of the car.

I felt myself panic as I was starting to regret why I got out of the car, I looked at them and they seemed to be ready for the kill.

A scripture ran through my mind and I remembered how with the help of the holy spirit one can trample on snakes and scorpions, although it was metaphoric in the context but right now I needed to use it as is.

"you snakes of the devil, I command you to flee from me, get out of my way in the name of Jesus Christ, you shall not harm me and you shall not be a stumbling block of our journey, I set the holy ghost fire on you, I say burn right now" I was literally shouting because I felt that I was filled with the holy spirit and there was a different kind of boldness in me.

The snake on the Tyre loosed its grip and spit some venom on the car, the part that was affected had the paint wear off and the steel part rusted immediately, oh snap what kind of snake is this?

I shouted the name of Jesus, Muneiwa got off the car, she pointed at the snakes and spoke a foreign language that sounded like tongues, she pointed a different direction into the bushes and that is where the snakes headed.

I looked at her shocked and went back into the car, she told me she would explain once we got home.

I remembered that I still had a lot of explaining to my mom about her living with Newi, how do I explain that I took in a child whose grandmother is responsible for killing her sisters grandchildren and that she also practices witchcraft? all of a sudden I was nervous, I looked at Newi using the mirror and I saw she was staring back at me.

"its okay, don't worry, she is going to like me, I will make a very good daughter to her and I will protect the bloodline, I will use my powers to do good now, nothing will ever harm your family" Newi said.

we got to our house and I ran out of the car to go hug my mom, I missed this woman, its been forever, she broke down and started crying, I just held on to her as I also wept.

Daddy came and broke our hug the he hugged us both and kissed mama on the forehead, Newi got off the car and she just stood there watching us, daddy noticed her standing awkwardly behind us and mama asked, "who is the little Missy over there? come my darling don't be left out".

We all just stood there hugging until daddy said "okay enough now, can I please have my wife to myself now, I haven't been with her in forever" he was busy kissing her all over the face while he said this then he carried her into the house, eeew talk about gross.

We carried our bags out and packed into the house, mom and dad were in their room with their door closed, I didn't even want to begin to think what could be going on in there, I took Newi out for a walk so she could also explain what just happened out there.

hey guys, I would like to know your thoughts on my story please comment and vote. what do you think is the story with Newi and the snakes? I honestly do not know what the direction will be with their stay in the village, but I have a feeling a lot of exciting things will happen there.
