PART 43
“RECKLESS REKKY”
©️Opeyemi O.Akintunde
Moko sat for over 45 minutes doing nothing…
“How can I release everyone?” Was his question.
“Release everyone and I release all your loved ones!”
Jola, his secret mistress was calling. He was about ending the call but it dawned on him that, the Uncreated Creator may have started touching what he had with her.
Their two sons!
“Hello Jola!”
“How are you baby?”
“I am fine! What is it?”
“Nothing, Are you okay?”
“Nothing is wrong with the kids?”
“No, but…”
“But what? …”
“I had a dream!”
“Ok?”
“I saw an elderly man who looked like a shepherd walking up to me. He said to me that I should tell the father of my children to return all his sheep to him, if not he will take all his sheep. He said I should tell you that he is ready to forgive you for all you have done, if you return all his sheep to him!” Jola said
“Ok! thank you!”
“Are you now into sheep rearing?” Jola asked ignorantly
“No, but I think I know what the dream means!”
“Ok! By the way how come your line went through, are you not on the high sea!”
“I will talk to you later!” He hung up. He wasn’t in the mood for any chit chat!
Everything was pointing to the fact that he had to let the people go…
He brought out his phone, dialed Mayor’s number, it was unavailable. He dialed Tony’s number, his phone rang…
“Hello Moko, good evening…”
“Come to the village immediately, on your way, stop by Mayor’s place and ask him to come as well.” Moko said authoritatively before hanging up.
Tony wondered what the urgent call was for. Weekends were for resting except for auctioning weekends. Joan was the only one who stayed permanently in the village. Her family thought she was living in the United States.
“I hope no one has rebelled!” Tony said to himself.

Martins couldn’t believe what had just happened…
Rekky allowed him to make love to her.
“What happened?” He questioned.
“What?”
“I mean what changed?”
“The thought of losing you did a brain reset, besides Tams told me the truth!”
“What truth?”
“I can never find a man like you if I ever lose you!”
“Well said!” Martins said laughing.
“And she said I had a problem and needed deliverance!”
“I think so too, I see it more as an addiction and I am ready to assist you on the journey to healing!”
“Are you sure?”
“Huh huh!”
“That means you will go with me tomorrow to see Tams ‘ Mother’s pastor!”
” Tams’ Mother’s pastor… that connection is quite long ooo…” Martins joked.
“Yes… The popular Pastor Joe Akintunde “
“Oh! Fine…I will go with you as long as I get another taste of what I have been starved!” Martins said cuddling Rekky again playfully.

“Can I get a charm that will make her come to my house… Like a charm I will speak to her with, or can you call her with your charm!” Osmond said shaking on the phone.
“Osmond, we can not use any charm on her, the pant has to be taken from her in her right senses!”
“I am finished!”
“You are not finished! If by this time tomorrow, you have not gotten the last pant, you will be finished!” The herbalist said angrily…
***
“This Osmond is an unfortunate human being, I hope he doesn’t affect me with his bad luck..” the herbalist complained to his son Ifatoyinbo…
“How?”
“It’s not good to start a ritual and not finish it! The evil forces will lose confidence in me. Next time I call on them, they won’t answer, worst still, they can rebel against me as they have started feasting on the virtue of the lady and suddenly I stop them by not providing the last ingredient… They may turn and fight against me! “
“Kamari ( May we not see evil)”
“Kamari ooo!” The herbalist replied thinking about what he could do about the situation.

Tony got to the Ritualist’s Village around 8:30pm. He went straight to the Deposition unit…
“What’s up Joan? Did Mayor rebel?”
“Why did you say that?”
“Moko asked to come immediately and on my way I should bring Mayor, but on getting to Mayor’s house, I met his absence. “
“I don’t know what’s happening, Moko has been acting strange all afternoon, and also I have a bad feeling something terrible is coming our way soon! I think we need to lay low!” Joan was saying when Moko walked in.
“Where’s Mayor?”
“I met his absence!”
“Ok! I guess he will get the information later!”
“Something has come up! And we need to lay low as Joan has said. We will be releasing all fowls and we all will go hiding, till I have the confidence we can come back.”
“Release the fowls?”
“Yes!”
“They have seen our faces!”
“And that’s why I said we are to lay low… Leave the country, hide from public functions… like I said it is for a while till I get clearance!”
“Clearance? Clearance from who?” Tony asked raising his voice
“From God!”
“Which God?”
“God ! ” Moko said raising his head towards heaven .
“And since when did you start hearing God and obeying God?”
“Tony, when did you start questioning me? I know what I heard and from who?” Moko said angrily.
Tony kept quiet… Joan who had been observing said…
“When do we leave? And how do we release the fowls! I believe in God and I know sometimes he can be Merciful on sinners like us, especially when we have righteous people praying for us. I know my own family prays for me and so, God speaking to you may be to save my life.” Joan said.
“We leave tonight! We announce to every of the staff, we send messages to everyone not present and when we are about to leave we remove the padlocks from the gate of the cells of the fowls. I believe when they wake up in the morning, they will realize we are gone. The Lord of the Universe will see them through and show them the way out.” Moko said with the tone of finality.
Tony was not pleased with the new development but he knew there was nothing he could do about it.
