Episode 9

“So what do we do now?”Presh asked in confusion after her Dad dropped the call.

“I’d have to face him and tell him he truth about his son”Mr Nworah sighed

“But.. Wouldn’t that be dangerous? He might think you killed his son and that would be a big problem considering how influential he is in this Country”Kim added

“Dad I wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to you please”Kaylan cried hugging her dad from side.

“If I had known, I would have done everything in my power to stop him from going. Now see.. Just see.. Two days to my supposed wedding and my Fiance is dead, my Mum too.. This has to be the worse time of my life”Presh busted into tears

“Hey baby girl! Would you calm down? This is surely not the time to apportion blames. Also not the time to cry but think and act!”Kim said

“These wh0le thing is just mysterious considering the explanation you made. Your house being hunted by spirits and ghosts.. Ugh.. I can imagine.. There could be a similarity between these two events happening in your family and mine..”Mazi said reasonably.

Everyone nodded in affirmative.

“So what is the way forward now?”Christabel asked looking around.

This question cut deep into everyone’s mind as they tried to come up with something.

“It all sum up to one thing.. PRAYERS.. prayer is the only way out of all these, God is the only one we can call unto that would answer us.. So it only can be God..”Kim said
Everyone concurred

“So first things first, Mr Nworah, you have to face Chief Sylvester and tell him exactly what happened to his son. If worse comes to worse, I’d intervene. While you’re away, we will back you up with prayers till you come back! I strongly believe God will go before you and set your paths straight”Mazi said with full faith. His children were surprised at their Father’s strong hold on God in less than 24hours. Kim silently thanked God for answering one of her numerous prayers.

“Dad can I at least go with you?”Presh said

“No.. Stay here and pray for me.. That’s all”Mr Nworah said making for the door.

The rest of the people held their hands together and started praying and crying to God for intervention.

Mr Nworah picked a taxi straight to Chief Sylvester’s mansion. After the rigorous security check, he was ushered into the sitting room where Chief was already seated with his daughter.
They shook hands and Nworah got seated at the opposite sofa.
Spoilt Clara didn’t greet or move an inch away from where she was seated. She was bent on staying there to listen to the conversation between her Dad and Mr Nworah.

“so you insisted on meeting up with me to tell me about my son’s whereabouts.. So?”Chief asked straight to the point

“Uhm.. Please can your daughter excuse us for a minute?”Nworah asked looking at Clara who shot him a deadly look.
Chief looked at Clara signalling her to leave. She stood up grudgingly and left.

“So she’s gone”Chief said looking at him suspiciously

“Chief the thing is that.. Your son got into some kind of accident and..”

“Accident? OMG! where and when?”Chief shouted

“Not that type of accident.. I mean.. Oh God how do I explain this?”Nworah said confused. Chief was already staring at him impatiently.
“The thing is.. My house has been hunted for a while now.. Ghosts and stuffs like that.. Matter-of-fact, my wife is dead.. So, Williams happened to go there without my consent though and..and.. He was killed”

Chief palmed his face. For a minute, Nworah didn’t know what to think.
Slowly, Clara came out from a s₱0t. She had actually been eavesdropping.
“You mean my brother is dead?”Clara cried.
Chief was still in the same position. Nworah kept quiet.
Clara sat on the tiled floor and cried bitterly.
“No No No.. I warned my brother against that your daughter.. I warned him”She kept lamenting in tears.
Chief suddenly stood up and Nworah followed him with his eyes.

“I’ve always had my reservations about your Family. I had my suspicions of you being a ritualist but I had no prove. Now look how you killed your wife for rituals. Well I have no problems with that, my problem now is why you would involve my son in your wickedness. Why would you kill my son?”Chief said slowly with a voice laced with bitterness.

“Chief you are misunderstanding this.. I didn’t..”

“Keep quiet! Shut it up!! I promise you will rot in jail except I am not Chief Sylvester Madumere”He picked up his phone.

“Yes? Is that the commissioner of Police? Yes..Yes..Chief Sylvester on the line.. Yes..send some of your men to my house immediately..Yes.. I have a murderer here”He ended the call.

“Chief it hasn’t gotten to that.. You don’t understand me”Mr Nworah said

Chief only looked at him scornfully before calling his guards.
“Make sure this murderer doesn’t move an inch!”He ordered and went upstairs

“You and your daughter will die the way my brother died! Wicked people”Clara cried hitting Mr Nworah with her hands

++++++++++++++

The news had gone far of the popular Mr Nworah being a killer and ritualist. The news papers had his face boldly on them as the case had been taken to court.

“This case had taken a more dangerous shape than we thought”Presh said slowly. Her face was swollen up from crying to much.

“You have to Calm down alright?”Kim consoled

“Sister, this is beyond the physical. Why don’t we take this matter to the Pastor?”Annabel suggested

“She’s right..”Mazi concurred

“After seeing the Pastor, I’ll go meet my lawyer friend I told you about”Kim told Presh who nodded.

++++++++++++++++

Kim, Mazi, Presh, Kaylan, Christabel and Annabel arrived the Pastor’s house.
Pastor Ikechukwu was glad to see them.
“it’s been a while”He said to Mazi who smiled widely
“Sister Kimberly how are you? Christabel, Annabel how are you two doing?”
They answered “Fine”

“Pastor, this is my friend Presh and this is her sister Kaylan”Kim introduced..
Kim further explained in details what had been happening in their both families down to Mr Nworah being in the Police custody.
After her narration, Pastor Ikechukwu was moved.

“Can we rise to our feet as we seek the face of God on this particular issue?”Pastor Ikechukwu said rising to his feet and the others joined him in prayers.
They had prayed for Over 10 minutes when The Pastor stopped them.

“Come here Kimberly.. Presh come here..”The both of them came before the Pastor
“Do you both know that you’re the cause of your family’s troubles?”

Kim and Presh looked at their selves in surprise.
“But how?”Presh asked the Pastor.

“Recall what happened 7 years ago when you two where still in the University.7:42pm dot, LLR Physics block, when you had General Studies Lectures with Prof. Abah K. Abah who died about 5months ago”Pastor Ikechukwu said sitting down.
Both Presh and Kim looked confused trying to figure out what really happened.
it’s been a long time you know..
