PART 8
“ GHOST RUN!”
©?Opeyemi O.Akintunde
“ Am I meant to run Into a hole to hide after what the devil and his agents did to me? Dad, Dubai is not what I need right now! What I need is to settle the scores between the devil and I… I lost what is most precious to me, I lost the man that could have given me children and grandchildren, yet the devil wants to have Mororo to himself… No, he has to lose what is in possession too! The devil is highly inconsequential for me to run away from… He is a Ghost and I cannot be scared of a ghost!
Dad, Mum, I am sorry, I have to run away, but that’s what is the best for me…
I am returning to Mororo!”
Adenike.
I dropped the letter on the living room table and left the house around 11am, After my parents had left for a special church program.
I left for Mororo that same day with my mother’s car. I got to Mororo very late when the entire Mororo had on obviously gone to sleep.
But!
I could sense the Adegbile Sisters knew I was around. As I drove past the Mororo bushes, I felt two invisible figures running alongside my car on the two sides.
“ You can’t scare me, if that’s what you are trying to do…!” I said with strong determination.
I literally could feel them around me and possibly fuming in anger…
I got to the mission house in one piece! Surprisingly, I met Seun there…
“ You came back! Something kept telling me to come here every night since you left. The thing kept telling me to pray that you come back and finish the work God has sent you to do in Mororo!”
“ That thing is called the Holy Spirit!” I said smiling. Seun moved closer to me and with a pleading voice , he said
“ Ma, please don’t leave us again. I have realized my mistake with your husband and the other pastor who died, I wasn’t praying for them… The thing… I mean the Holy Spirit was telling me that we the church members ought to be praying for our pastors… I promise to pray for you every day so the evil ones of Mororo never touch you!”
I looked at Seun intently for the first time. He spoke English Fluently and he didn’t seem like someone who should be living in Mororo…
“ What are you doing in Mororo, you speak well…” I said
“ I am not from Mororo, My wife is, I mean my Wife was… I met my wife in the City, but she loved Mororo dearly. She had come to the city to work as a maid in my parents’ house as early as 7 years old. We literally grew up as siblings. My parents gave her an education, so this made it easy for my parents to accept her when I said she was the one I wanted to Marry..
We got married 12 years ago, but couldn’t have children for four years. This made my wife start searching for solution everywhere and anywhere. It was on one of these searches, she met Jesus! My wife became sold out…
My parents were not Christians, so they couldn’t get along with my wife anymore… They asked me to leave her, but I couldn’t because I loved my wife…
We lost everything as, we were both working with my parents….
My wife and I moved in with the Pastor who had led her to Christ, and though it wasn’t comfortable, I had to manage that new life because of the love I had for my wife. In the midst of these, by hearing the word of God in the Pastor’s house, I was gradually becoming converted.
About 6 years ago, My wife had woken me up in our little apartment the Pastor later helped us to get…
“ Seun, I have a burden for my village, I want to go back to Mororo. My people need Jesus! And Maybe if I served God in Mororo, God may give us Children!”
I followed her here, but I guess we weren’t prepared enough., I knew only a little about Jesus from what I had heard the pastor preached back in the city… My wife was just zealous as well…”
“ What happened to her, that made you refer to her as “Was”. Is she dead also?” I asked in fear
“ Dead? That would have been better, because unfortunately, She is now the priestess of Mororo, the head of all witches in Mororo….!”
“ What! How ? I mean What happened?” I asked obviously bewildered
“ It is a long story!” Seun said looking heartbroken….
