JUST A LITTLE SIN
Episode 30
By AMAH’S HEART

I woke up very late the following morning. I checked the time it was almost 8am
Yoara was getting ready to leave for work.
He hardly work on a Saturday, I guess this is one of those few weekend work that their company made compulsory for their staff.

I got home very late last night, I entered the house almost 1am in the night.
After coming down from the first bus it was difficult getting another bus that will convey me down.
I stood waiting and when I can no longer wait I decided to start trekking

I jogged to cover part of the distance and slow down when I became tired.

That’s how I was able to get home. At a point I was looking over my shoulder to be very certain Chumi didn’t send boys after me.
I can’t un-derestimate her, she can do anything to cover up her tracks even if it means getting me out of the way.

She didn’t un-derstand that I’m a hard meat to chew. The kind of meat that will hook her up in the throat.
She stepped on the wrong foot and I will feel like a failure if I don’t let her un-derstand that no one dares with me, my family or friends that I hold dear.
She also un-derestimated me, now is time to show her what I’m capable.

I got home and Yoara came to open the door.
He was been calling earlier, I told him that I was coming.
He called twice again but I didn’t answer the call until I got home.
He asked me what happened and why I was home late.
I told him that I was at a friend’s place and didn’t know that it was already late.

I was too tired and went straight to sleep.
Waking up this morning I saw two missed calls from Omie.

I called back and she told me that I should be ready before 12pm
The interview with the madam has successfully been rescheduled.

She will forward the address to me and I will go there.

I run out of airtime during the call and she had to call back.

Omie said i will be giving an accommodation if the madam happens to pick me among the domesticated staff.

de-eper down in my mind I know I’m already picked. The God of Omie, who is kind and loving will make it happen for me.
I have a place to stay, meaning I will no longer stay in this house or stay with Konji in his dirty apartment.
I want to jump round the house in jubilation.

After explaining it all to me, I thanked her and started preparing for the job interview.

I was really happy, my happiness can’t be explained in words.

I took out one of my best outfits which I haven’t worn in a long while, I went to straighten it with the iron.

Yoara who was about to leave for work, he was rather surprised to see me trying to straighten my cloths because I hardly do that.
He’s virtually the only one that uses the pressing iron in the house.

I slightly told him that I’m going to job interview by 12pm.
He said why on a Saturday, company’s don’t usually open during the weekend.
he added that he wasn’t supposed to be going to work because he hardly work on weekends but his presence was requested and he will be closing early too.

I let him know that I was just called this morning and is not a company, the interview will be taking place in somebody’s house.

He nodded and wish me the best.

I was ironing when a hard knock on the door, it sounded like a knockout bang.

Yoara rushed to the door to know who could be on the door that early morning

Immediately he opened the door Chumi entered.
She didn’t allow a surprised Yoara to speak, she began to run her mouth as usual.

“Don’t believe anything Tomasi told you, don’t believe him my love. He’s lying and everything he said to you was all lies. The man was just a friend and there’s nothing between us, Tomasi put words in my mouth and made me say those things which he began to record and the pictures are all lies. I Love you Yoara, please don’t listen to Tomasi… please..”

Yoara was shocked as he wondered what exactly was going on.
I paused from ironing and was equally surprise too

I haven’t even said a word about her or where I was last night to Yoara.
I never breathed a word of it to him.

I don’t even have any picture or recording evidence about Chumi, I was only trying to threatened her that I will take the recorded voices to Yoara.

I have nothing on her just my action and words which she fell for.

Yoara wouldn’t have believed me anyway, if I have told him about last night, what I saw and discovered he will think that I’m blabbing.
Is better to keep quiet and let my silent do the tricks.

Is obvious that Chumi didn’t sleep last night, she ran down here as fast as her legs can carry her just to see Yoara in person and counter my words.

This is very funny yet I tried not to laugh.

Even though that I’m an unpaid detective now and will try not to blow off my cover because that’s my secret weapon.

This detective job I discovered on Chumi’s case is satisfying and I love it.

I acted anonymously as I went back ironing my clothes.

“Whaa… what’s going on, what are you talking about Chumi? Which man, what record… I don’t un-derstand. I need explanation..” Yoara said as he try to make sense from whatever Chumi who appeared so alarmed was saying.

I don’t want Chumi to spoil my work with her scary mouth
I don’t want Yoara to have any idea of whatever that was going on now.

I have to say something fast.

“She must’ve seen me in her dream. Is no more a physical fight with Chumi, it has entered spiritual, I suggest you go into prayer and fasting for her before she drink poïson because of me. she is now seeing me in her dream and instead of cancelling such dreams as Christians do, she ran down here this early morning to start another fight with me. I don’t un-derstand all of this things too. I’m actually a nice guy, I don’t like all this unnecessary war.”

I looked at Chumi’s face and she was staring at me confused, I winked at her before Yoara turned towards me.

Chumi turned fully towards Yoara and said
“I.. you mean Tomasi didn’t say anythin, I thought he told you that…” She paused acting more confused.

“What’s the problem Chumi, is it a nightmare like Tomasi observed? Did you have a bad dream? I want to un-derstand what’s really going on..”Yoara asked calmly.

“I think so. It…I..yes, it was a dream. I saw Tomasi saying all kinds of things to you, my love. It was a long..scary dream and you were threatening to end the relationship and break off the engagement. I was afraid because it felt so real and without thinking, I jumped on the first morning bus and ran down here. Sorry about that..”
Chumi said as she tried to organize her words and used my strategy to normalize the situation.

She went to take a seat while trying to relax back and catch her breath.

“This is way too serious. You mean to tell me that it’s just dream that drove you down here in such a speed. This is too much to take in. This whole thing is getting out of hand. Chumi, you’re taking this Tomasi thing too far and is going to affect your mental and spiritual state of mind…” Yoara said

“Exactly my brother, this is really something to look into before marriage. I think she needs deliverance. Chumi will agree with me on this one. She is going to be delivered from Tomasi spiritual attack because if not, she will continue to be attacked..” I chirped in

I turned to Chumi and said
“… Chum, since you’re here, why not go make breakfast for us..”

She looked at me and I curved a smile and stared back.

“I need to go. Ellie is alone in the house, I didn’t leave her with anyone. I will come early tomorrow and make food please..”

Yoara was shocked at the calm reply from Chumi to me.
He stared at her in disbelief.

I chuckled and said to her, baffling Yoara even more.
“That’s okay Chum Chum. Chumi is calming down, I’m happy to see the changes. I know Yoara will also be glad because from now onward their must not be a single shout or noise in this house. I will even follow you and my brother to church tomorrow. I will like to watch you pick up the microphone and sing, I want to be moved by the power of your ministration, hope you will make me move? I will also love to see your pastor and the entire congregation. Is all for a purpose…”

She was not comfortable with the last statement.
“I’m not sure is a good idea, I mean since you already have your own church, is better you continue worshiping there. Going from one church to another is not good…”
Chumi try to make it sound polite but I can see her fear.

Yoara quickly interrupted her
“Why not? He should come, isn’t this the exact thing we always wanted? I don’t un-derstand why you will ask him to go to his own church..” Yoara asked her, still confused.

Chumi tries to defend her own statement but couldn’t.

“Is Chumi afraid of something? I asked quietly while focusing on my ironing and continuesly smiling.

“No.. no.. you can come Tomasi. We will love to have you worship with us and become part of us too..” she finally said.

“Good..” I replied with a smile.

Yoara didn’t un-derstand what was going on, he thought is a miracle that was taking place, seeing Chumi and I communicating without fight.

Yoara lifted up his hand in the air, waved and said “thank you Jesus”

Chumi later left with Yoara

Yoara went to work while she went back to her place.

In no time i will be out of the house too.

As I was preparing to leave, there was another knock.
My instinct tells me is Chumi coming to talk me out of going to church with them.

She doesn’t know what she is in for.
I will continue to torment her until she confesses with her mouth.

I’m happy, so happy that a Job and accommodation is waiting for me plus having Chumi in my trap.
