JUST A LITTLE SIN
Episode 29
By AMAH’S HEART

I couldn’t keep hiding because it was getting dark, I needed to go back home.

Before leaving, I wanted to make sure that Chumi atleast have a glimpse of me.

Immediately I saw that the man was going towards the bustop while Chumi began walking back to the house, I gently and carefully came out of my hiding place and ran towards Chumi before she will get into her house gate.

“Chumi baby, chum chum fine girl..” I called out loudly enough for her to hear and stop.

She couldn’t make out my face from the dark as I approached.
She startled and appear in shock when she saw me clearly.

“What.. what in God’s name are you doing around here Tomasi..?

I ignored her questions and continued hyping her.
“Chumi sweetie, action Chumi, Chumi Yoara and Chumi Jones. Chumi the Jesus baby, Chumi the liar, Chumi the basket mouth, Chumi is caught in the act.. Chum Chum baby…”

She stared at me angrily

“What nonßense are you saying Tomasi, what exactly do you want? what brought you to this place?

“You! You’re the reason I came around. I have been able to capture the goody coozy moment with your second lover..”

“Capture what? What did you see us doing? We only spoke and he left…” She quickly said in her defense without thinking.

“So, you actually agree to the fact that you are cheating on my brother, double dating with your two full che-st and lying boldly about it.”

“Is this the job you supposed to be searching for? Aren’t you supposed to be getting busy with your life? This is exactly what jobless people do. Poke nosing in things that are none of their business and when they’re in trouble they will start calling Jesus for help. You won’t remember to give your life to Christ now and become a born again so that God will open doors for you and you will get a job, instead of this jobless act you’re portraying…”

“If you try to preach to me about Jesus I will spat on your face. I’m not sure you’re worthy to even mention that name or be counted as a minister. You did not only deny your daughter but also cheating on my brother and I have seen the face of the Jones Ellie was talking about. I said I was going to get to the root of this and I finally did..”

“Get to the root of what? Did you see me doing anything with the man? And what if I do, what are you going to do about it, Yoara won’t believe you anyway if you say anything to him. Did you know if the man you saw with me is my brother or uncle that I decided to bid goodnight outside my gate. What are you exaggerating? Yoara won’t believe you if you tell him that Ellie is my daughter, I know exactly what to say or do that will counter everything you said. You have nothing on me Tomasi, go and get a life.. bitter soul. The man you saw is my brother, ..”

“Uncle Jones or brother Jones was smooching and ki-ss ing you in a dark corner of the street. Isn’t that supposed to be abomination in where you come from? I’m begining to fear more for my brother..” I replied acting all shocked.

“None of those things you mentioned happened. We only talked and he left, if you’re looking for how to get back at me then you will need to check another means because this particular one won’t pay you at all. I’m not your problems, maybe you should check on your village people and those you’ve offended to let you go from their bondage…”

“Alright, I will take your advice. I never knew that you can give the best advice.
Let me go and think over the advice and work towards it. I will also like my brother to think over his decision in marrying you, you’re a bad idea for him. i will also like you to think about your deliberate actions and how cheating won’t pay you well rather the repercussions comes in tones. how hurt my brother will be if he finds out at the end that i have been right all this while but he failed to think through that you’re actually a camouflage in human. Let me be going now Chumi the wise yet foolish lady.. goodnight..”

“Yoara won’t believe anything you say, quit wasting your time..” she finally said as i was leaving.

“That’s true, he won’t believe anything I say but he will believe everything he sees and hears. I actually captured and recorded you on my phone. I don’t have to say anything to him, I will just show him..”

I began to walk away, she was quiet at first and began calling my name.

“Yes, what is it? I asked still keeping my distance.

“Will you like to come inside, is already late. you can even pa-ss the night then by tomorrow morning you can be on your way. You un-derstand I’m not a bad person, I’m just trying to survive in this city and I really do love your brother. The man you saw is nothing to me… just a casual friend that stops to say hi. You can’t be happy breaking my relationship with Yoara. I need him and Yoara need a strong woman beside him as his wife. Tomasi, I want us to settle our misun-derstanding amicably, I will be a great sister in-law to you. I promise, from today onwards I will never bother you, you can stay with your brother because is equally your house too. I apologise for all the trouble I must have caused you. Come in and I will fix you something to eat and a warm bath…”

I began to chuckle after listening to lioness Chumi change into a scared cat.

I looked around me to be certain that I was the one she was speaking calmly to.

“I’m very sure you’re mistaken me for a puppy or a bingo dog. Unfortunately I’m not a dog. If you’re looking for a way to send your area boys after me so that they can collect my evidence then your plans have failed. If you’re looking for who to poison or stab in his sleep look elsewhere because I’m always ahead of you. You once told me that where my madness stopped is where yours begins. I want to see the mad woman in you after your entire church know the huge secret you’re keeping, is not just Yoara, the church as a whole. You just don’t know what I’m capable of, no one messes with me and get away with it. Let’s call it a night, good night Chumi the action bae, Chumi the lioness, Chumi is now the scared little cat. Chum Chum… sleep well. Don’t kill yourself with overthinking tonight…”

I grinning from ear to ear as I left her standing.
She called me but I didn’t reply as I kept walking away.
She was offering me money, mentioning different amount but i didn’t pay attention to her as I walked away.

I made her think that I actually captured her and the man in the dark and recorded what she was saying when in the actual sense I didn’t do any of that.

I’m using a small bu-tton phone, which I use for calls and messages only. It can’t do much.
I never recorded her or take her picture in the dark but she doesn’t have to know that.
How will she even know, I have Chumi exactly where I want her.

Let me find my way home and sleep peacefully like I haven’t done in a long time.
