PART 32
“RECKLESS REKKY”
©️Opeyemi O.Akintunde
Osmond had lodged into Hotel 23 and he had the feeling to leave the hotel. He decided to make it early to the herbalist’s place. As he was about to leave, he remembered his original driver’s license he had kept away from Rekky.

“Oh Sh..t” Osmond cursed.
Osmond hurriedly brought out his phone. He turned it on and placed a call to the agent.
“Hello Bros, your babe has left. Oga you sure you didn’t impregnate that girl before running away!’
‘Me? Impregnate? She is a married woman. I didn’t know she was married until last week, that’s why I decided to run!”
“It’s a lie ooo, Women are evil ooo.”
“Guy, you see I forgot one of my old wallets at the flat, I hope you guys have not cleaned up!”
“Not yet! The woman just left.”
“Ok, can you help me send a dispatch to an address I will send to you?”
“Sure, but you must appreciate me big time.”
Osmond sent the address of the Gas station beside Hotel 23.

Mayowa had driven around for 2 hours.
“Why am I wasting the day? Why don’t I reach out to these people!” he reasoned.
He drove off without having a particular destination in mind.

Martins was beginning to feel uncomfortable with Rekky not picking up her call. Her normal time of returning after spending the time outside was 7:45, but this was 11 am already.
“I hope the Prophet of doom was not saying the truth.” Martins walked around.
“He said we both would die! How? If she has been kidnapped, why would they come for me!” Martins was reasoning everything out.
“I’d better leave here at once,” Martins concluded.
***
Mayowa parked Moko’s car in front of Martins’ home. He walked towards their apartment but met their absence.
“Oh d@mn! Hope I didn’t get here late!” He said checking the time. It was 15 minutes past noon.
According to the future he was following, Osmond ought to be at Hotel 23 by that time. He needed to get there fast.
***
Osmond received his wallet from the delivery man. And with that, he dashed back into the hotel to pick up his stuff.
***
Mayor watched as Osmond received a package from a delivery man.
“What’s that? In the future, he gave the man the pant package. Why is he the one receiving?” He thought.
“Oh! The wallet he forgot!”
Mayowa remembered the wallet.
“That means he will be leaving the hotel soon!”

Martins had lodged in Hotel 23 as well. He kept calling Rekky but she wasn’t picking.
He decided to call Chioma.
“Chi babe!”
“Hey! How are you?”
“I am fine. I am sorry about the last time. I am sorry for crossing the line!”
“It’s fine.”
“Yeah!”
There was a brief silence between both of them.
“Is something wrong?” Chioma asked.
“Kind of!” Martins stood up from the bed he was lying on as he went to the hotel window. He was looking out the window as he spoke to Chioma.
“What’s wrong?”
“My Wife!”
“What’s up with her again?”
“I am done!”
“Ok! Why the sudden conclusion!”
“I have had it coming like you know but two days ago….”
Martins narrated all that had happened with the prophet and how he couldn’t reach her that morning.
“And where are you now?”
“Hiding at Hotel 23!”
“Hiding? I don’t get it! Your wife is missing and you are hiding in a hotel, who does that? Martins, you still haven’t changed! Gush! The same thing you did to me is exactly what you are doing again. When your partner is going through problems you don’t stay with them, you run away. You ran away from me because I had the problem of bedwetting and your excuse was we won’t be able to share the same bed. Is it any different, do you share the same bed with your wife every night? No, so running away doesn’t take away the problem and I see all that you have been doing for a while now. I know you want us to get back together, but may I tell you, my problem hasn’t left me, I still bedwet,” Chioma said.
Martins couldn’t believe what Chioma said. He thought that would have stopped.
“Exactly the reaction I was expecting from you! So Martins let this be the last time you call me, go find your wife and help sort out her problem. BYE!”
Chioma dropped the call on Martins. He knew that was indeed a GOODBYE from Chioma.
“God, I know I run away from my problems, but Rekky’s problem is beyond me. What can I do to solve this? I don’t know where she is,” Martins broke down.
His phone rang. It was Tams, Rekky’s friend calling after his several calls.
“Finally!” Martins said after picking up.
“Martins, Rekky is in trouble. She told me something really fearful and now, I have been calling her line and she is no longer picking up. We spoke not long ago. I hope she is not dead!”
“Dead? Why would you think the worst!”
“That’s exactly the premonition!”
“She told you about it?”
“Yes and just this morning, her boyfri…I am sorry Martins…her boyfriend actually stole her underwear and ran off. Obviously, he is going to use it for money rituals and that means Rekky dies!”
Martins fell into the bed sobbing.
“And Rekky ki||ed herself!” He said.
“Are you there?” Tams called out.
“Yes!” Martins said amidst tears.
“This is not the time to cry Martins, let’s go look for a Pastor who can fight this death!”
“Ok…Where should I meet you?”
“Max Road! My Mother’s pastor is very hot, I know he can stop Rekky’s death!”
“Ok!”
