EPISODE 13
Edet died. He died right in front of me. I watched edet as he laid in the pool of his own blood. Lydia, a 21year old, daughter of a pastor, killed him. This world has been destroyed. I was shivering.
Hey Goddddd!!! How do i get out of here without anyone seeing me. I cried and cried. I could sence cry asking me to leave it alone.
I wanted to go out of the room. I felt lydia might be somewhere around the window looking out. If i manage to go out, lydia might see me. Infact i was confused. Staying was disgusting, going out was endangering.
At the middle of my thoughts, my phone beeped. Lydia!!!!
My heart skipped. I couldn’t even open the message. The beeping came again. I felt like throwing the phone away. The beeping again. I increased the volume of my crying.
Looking at Edet lying lifeless. I didn’t touch him. Autopsy might be carried out. My finger print might be traced. Alot ot thoughts coming in and out of my head.
I heard this voice….it was so loud, every part of me felt it. The voice said…
IT COULD HAVE BEEN YOU.
I turned around. The voice seemed like Edet’s. I was fidgeting and crying. Like i was seeing a ghost.
-It, it, could have been me? I asked. What could have been me? I kept turning around like looking for the voice.
-You would have been the one lying down there tonight, stone cold. You were next in line to be sacrificed. I saved you. I also made you witness this, so you would see for yourself.
-Arrrrrrrrggggghhhhh, i cried. I took a glance at Edet again. I cried even more. In my spirit R.KELLY’S “you saved me” kept playing.
You saved me
You saved me
You saved me
Gave me a second chance…….
It kept playing. I was just crying.
My phone beeped again. I decided to go through the messages. It read thus….
Hey baby, i miss you so much.
Hey baby, how’s the rehearsal going? Hope you’re good?
Hey baby, check your whatsapp.
I went online. Lydia sent me her nudes. I deleted it immediately and went off line. I was still crying.
Another song started playing in my spirit. “Me again” by j.moss.
Forgive me Lord
It’s me again
Forgive me Lord
It’s me again
I’ve disobeyed your word
I slipped out of your will
Remorseful i stand, me again
Send your mercy
Down from glory
Lord restore me
Renew me, fix me
Again.
I could hear angels sing this song. As they did, my sins played like i was seeing a movie.The way i was when i was with my father versus the way i was when i left.
The video kept playing. I was hearing this song
All to Jesus
I surrender
All to him i freely give
I will ever love and trust him
In this present daily life
I surrender all
I surrender all
All to thee, my blessed saviour
I surrender all
As the Angels sang and God’s spirit spoke, as my sins played before me, i cried. Edet’s Alarm clock sang. It’s 5am already. I heard the main door to the house open. I heard papa’s voice.
EDET, he called.
I melted. Where do i hide? I cribbed to the door and quietly bolted it.
Where do i hide? How do i escape? What do i do now?
EDET, he called again, no answer.
He started knocking. No answer
EDET, come out and open this gate, PAPA SHOUTED.
His phone rang
Hello, lord satrum, I’m on my way.
He started opening the gate himself.
EDET, he called, you will hear from me when i get back.
He entered his car and zoomed off without locking the gate.
I thanked the Lord. I quietly unbolted the door. I tried stepping out. I heard footsteps, my phone started ringing. LYDIA. She was the one coming down. I quickly silenced it. The call dropped. Another call came in, MAMA.
Arggh, cornell, you are done for , i said to myself. I refused picking.
As she closed the gate she was sending me a voice note.
-hey baby, what’s keeping you. It’s past 5 already. You should be home by now. Well guess what. I’m outside. Waiting at the flower corner. I’ve missed you. I’m waiting. Bye.
She sent it and gave a wild laugh.
One more unfinished business. Anyway, let’s see what has become of my sacrifice.
She opened Edet’s door. I was standing right behind the door. The door was covering me actually.
I got another call. MAMA WAS CALLING ME. My phone’s light was was beaming. I tired covering it when my knee hit hard on the door.
She came out…..
-who’s there?
Argh, smoke was coming out of my head. I started praying. She passed by that door and went into edet’s room. She didn’t see me. She left.
Argh, that day, i knew there was God. I watched her go upstairs. I quietly opened the door and headed for the gate. I unbolted the gate. As i tried stepping out, i heard my name, it was LYDIA’S VOICE.
I didn’t even turn. I opened the door and took to my heels.
Dear youths, because i broke the hedge the serpent started bitting. MY STORY JUST BEGUN.
