Chapter thirteen

I dedicate this chapter to Maryam Yusuf, thanks dear for supporting and also encouraging me to write this chapter.

Am I really doing the right thing by helping those mischievous girls...what if Alhaji Modibbo finds out? Mukhtar spoke to himself in his mind while sipping his hot coffee he made for himself with the help of a YouTube video, Ya rabb (Oh lord) I'm in a dilemma.

     Thief! Thief! Thief! 

Mukhtar immediately ran out of his room after hearing one of their servants shouting thief over and over again, which was none other than Chinedu who he bumped into at the corridor while running.

      Oga thief don enter our house ooo. ( Sir a thief broke into our house) Chinedu said in haste.

    Where did you see the thief?...and which way did he use to escape from you? Mukhtar asked curiously with a hockey stick.

   F..f..f..fo..for...kitchen (at the kitchen) stammered Chinedu.

I wonder where those securities are, I'll fire them as soon as the sun sets because it's clear that their incompetent...and you lead the way. He said while heading to Chinedu's direction.

Which way oga?...i don't understand.

The way to where you saw the thief of course

      O..o..ok...oga, but I go waka for your back (ok sir, but I'll walk behind you) Chinedu said in fear.

       Whatever but where did you say you last saw the thief? Mukhtar asked while walking and holding his hockey stick.

     I no know ooo oga , i just de fear ( I don't know sir, I'm just scared) Chinedu stammered.
  
       You don't know?... something must be wrong with you!

     Oga no vex abeg, when you enter kitchen you go understand everything (Sir please don't be mad, you'll understand everything when you see the kitchen).

Be a man for once in your life Chinedu. He said as he headed for the kitchen.

     Mum what happened? Mukhtar asked when he got into the kitchen.

      I think a thief broke into our house last night son. She said while standing beside the sink in a worried tone.

   What!? But, what did the thief stole?

    I don't know yet dear, but look at how the thief turned my kitchen into, so messy.

     What's happening here?  Mukhtar's father asked interrupting the both of them.

    A thief got in here lastnight. said Mukhtar's mother.

    And what did the thief stole?  Mukhtar's father also asks.

    I don't know yet, but my kitchen is looks like a volcano erupted.

  Mukhtar suddenly burst out of laughter, as it's obvious he has been trying to hold it for long.

   What's funny? a thief broke into our house and you are laughing?

      Sorry mom i didn't mean to, actually it wasn't a thief, It was me.

What?! Both his parents act surprised.

Well...well I..i..actually made a coffee for myself last night...ummm that's why I messed up the kitchen.

      You almost gave everyone a heart attack. Mukhtar's father said as stormed off the kitchen

     Can't you order any of the servants to make you one, look at how you've destroyed my kitchen just because of a simple coffee, it's as if a volcano erupted in my kitchen, ya Allaah look you even broke my favourite mug.
