~MY WICKED FATHER~
Episode 4
As I was considering how to see Mike, God so
kind, he timely came home to give me some
food items so I could cook them,
I told him what my father had said. After giving
it some thought, he grinned.
Coming for me? As in how? He asked,
I no be person wey person go fit do something
o, he concluded.
Mike honestly didn’t believed my father could
do him anything, but I know my father,
A father who disowned his only daughter?
Without hesitation, he would undoubtedly k!ll
Mike.
I convinced him to act immediately as a result.
But Mike didn’t appear to like my suggestion.
But after much cajoling from me,
It’s all right, he said.
“I would report the complaint to the police, if
only it would be recorded in the police crime
diary for record purposes, Because I don’t want
to arrest your father.
I looked at him with surprised,
Yes, I’m saying the truth, he said
Because the wealthy in this country are the ones
favoured by the law, while the underprivileged
are ignored.
He continued, honey, are you not aware of the
first Law by Joe Abercrombie who stated
clearly that,
As he was about to cite some articles when I
yelled at him,
Mike, what are you quoting?
You don’t know my father right? I asked with
anger on my face.
Please just go to the police right away, I sadly
advised, because I know who that wicked man
is. I concluded.
Ok ooo, he said.
And reluctantly got to the car, and headed to the
police station.
____________________________________
Why won’t my father let me live in peace? I
pondered.
Already, he has ruined my happiness.
Mike is the one he now wants to turn his evil eye
upon, I rebuked him.
If anything should happen to Mike, I would
fight him until my last breath.
I swore.
____________________________________
When he met my mother, he was totally poor,
My mother laid the groundwork for all the
fortune he has now.
Though my mum passed away years ago.
But he wasn’t interested in finding out what
ki||ed her.
Anytime we want to stand up and do findings,
he would stop us.
Though according to the rumors,
He allegedly ki||ed my mother for rituals after
he was nominated to run as a local government
chairman,
But in the end, he was never elected the local
government chairman. What a shame, I cursed
him.
I guess the reason why he was trying to prevent
us from talking to people,
so that they won’t reveal the awful deed he did.
I grinned, “maybe he thinks I don’t know
anything.” Foolish man.
I’m also coming for him, I concluded.
______________________________________
According to mike, he had reported the matter to
the police, he asked them not to arrest my
father, it should only be for the record purpose.
Why did you do that, I asked with anger after
informing me of what he did at the police
station.
That evil man should be arrested for thr_@t to
life,
Seems you’re joking with your life.
As he was trying to explain to me, I yelled at him
and entered inside the house.
______________________________________
I don’t know how my father got to know that the
matter had been taken to the police,
So he promptly changed his plans to do
something else.
Had it been mike had listened to me, nothing
would have happened to us.
As the saying goes, The enemy that will destroy
you will not come with a sword
BUT with a smile,
My telephone rang,
I recognized his number,
So I picked immediately,
As usual, I remained silent.
He called me as he usually does, “Mummy,”
But I was surprised who told him that am the
one using the phone.
I know you heard me, please, he said.
Please forgive me; I’m willing to hire Mike as my
employee and I have accept your relationship
with him finally, he said.
Please come back home, he concluded.
We appreciate your offer, but we decline. I said,
cutting off the call.
Wicked man. I sigh.
To be continue..
