Just a little sin episode (5&6)

 JUST A LITTLE SIN 

Episode 5

I made up my mind I wasn't going to go home that day as I try to look for a place to hide

Juru was dumbfounded as he watched 

Oni asking for my house address, he called out to her but she totally ignored his existence.

She did not see me as she walked passed with her bag placed securely on her head, like a new bride.

As she walked pass, I quietly came out of my hiding place.

"Hey Tomasi, what on earth did you do to her because this is beyond ordinary. I was with her few days ago and there was no problem at all. She even spend the night at my place and we were alright only for me to drive down to see her and she began cursing and insulting me. Before I came down here, very early today, I went to reconcile with lots of gifts for her, thinking that I offended her unknowingly but she poured a bucket of water on me that cold morning while singing a love chant for you. It was quiet confusing initially but it's becoming clear now, Tomasi you gave her a love portion right? You may try to deny it but the truth is obvious..."

I laughed out sarcastically before saying

"Love portion? Does it exist because I know nothing about that. I only have to speak to her convincely and she became all mine. My actions and words does the magic for me. You think you're a charmer and every lady you want you get but I hate to break it to you, you're nothing Juru. You're just a fool full of himself. I told you I will have her, you said not in this Life, well I hate to break it to you that it has happened not only in this life but right under your nose. You asked me to go to the dead and date Dunfi, you boast like a peacock, even after Dunfi's death no remorsefulness at all, this is just the beginning for you. You took Dunfi, I'm taking Oni. Is a draw match, I'm actually wining because as you can see, Oni can no longer live without me, she traveled all the way down looking for me.. I'm going to enjoy her and you can't do nothing. Indeed you underestimated me. You don't know what I'm capable Juru..."

I started walking away

"If all this was normal why were you hiding from her? Why running to hide...?you started this Tomasi, I will see it to the end. I bet you, you will cry when I'm ready for my revenge..."

I shouted back while laughing

"I went hiding because is wrong for the bride to see the groom outside the alter while walking down the aisle. I'm going to see my bride and will unveil her like it should. Sorry, you aren't invited to the occasion. There's a free burial ground close to Dunfi's own, if you can't live to see me and Oni, then go and and pick a spot close to Dunfi. As for the threats, you can't do nothing Juru. If you try anything I will top it with a bigger strike.."

He was saying something which I can't hear as I walked away.

I can't go home due to fear, I decided to go to Larry's place.

I narrated everything to Larry, he told me Mudi was with his daddy and since the deed is done there is nothing Mudi can do until the required time she was supposed to be inlove expires.

Just then I saw my sister Molly coming to look for me.

"Mama said i should come and fetch you, you have a visitor. She's a pretty lady and said she has come to live with you because you're the love of her life. She refused going anywhere untill she sees you. Mama insist that you come with me or she will come by herself..."

I decided to follow Molly, even Larry followed us.

Immediately we got to my house, Oni rushed to me, singing her love chant.

My mother asked me what was going on, I told her that I don't know. I don't know why the lady refuses to leave me alone, I had to lie, anything that will convince my mother.

I told her that back in school, I never paid any attention to her and after we left school she kept disturbing me and has found her way down to my house. I have nothing to do with her

My mother asked me if I got her in with a child, if she was pregnant for me which could be the reason she came all the way looking for me.

I screamed a loud "No" and even Larry, my best pal joined in.

My mother tried talking to her but all Oni kept saying was how much she loves and want to live with me, she was not making any sense at all.

Oni refuses to leave even when my mother volunteer to take her back to her place

I refused to sleep in my house that night or a nights before then

My mother decided to travel down the following day to go and inform Oni's parents that Oni was in our place just in case they're searching for her and she's has refused to listen to anyone to return home

My mother found out that Oni was the only child of her late mother, Oni lives with her father and step mother who does not really care much about her or whatever she does with her life.

My mother said she will have to live with us for the main time until she is ready to go back home, since Oni is head bent on staying and refused to go anywhere.

The father and step mother did not care much about her whereabout.

I refused when my mother told me all this, i insisted that Oni has to go back to her house. Mama asked me to go and convince her by myself so that she can leave because she has tried everything she can think off.

I knew it won't work but I decided to try, using all kinds of love languages that i can think off, I try talking to her yet it didn't work.

I started sneaking out of the house to go and stay with Larry every night.

A week later, I saw Molly and Oni coming to Look for me at Larry's place.

"She have being crying that she wants to see you. She haven't set eyes on you since yesterday and said is either she see you or die. She threaten to kill herself Tom.." Molly said

Oni ran to me, holding me very tight and not ready to let go

I was very angry with Molly for bringing her over to my hiding place.

"You shouldn't have brought her here Molly, I'm trying to hide from her and you know this and still brought her to my hiding place, I'm very disappointed in you. I expected a better act, definitely not this.." I said to Molly angrily.

I love my sisters and knew that before Molly will bring Oni over it means the situation has gone beyond them.

Molly apologized, I later told her not to worry that it was not her fault.

It was actually my fault but my family doesn't have to know that.

Only Larry and Mudi knows about what was going on.

This whole thing is too much, is making me run away from my house and scared of going home.

If I knew it will come to this I wouldn't have dare did what I did.

I went back home with Oni, on getting home I heard my father was asking of me.

He built his house separately from ours and that's where he stays with his young last wife who gave birth to one daughter for him.

He hardly call or ask of me except when somebody reports me to him.

I guess my case has gotten to his ears and he wants to start bashing and shouting at me, telling me if I choose to be useless in life is none of his business, he doesn't care, he has other children that will make him proud.

That's what he said the last time and several other times.

He asked about Oni and everything he heard.

I told him the same thing I told mama.

Oni who refused to leave me alone was there acting as usual.

 if I sit down Oni sits, if I kneel down she kneels too, if I stand, run, jump and even frown or laugh she does the same.

When I pick my my nose she picks her own nose.

It appears that as the day advances she was getting deeper into me.

My father called me a liar after I narrated everything to him, he looked at Oni and said I did something to her.

He asked me what exactly I did to her, I refused to say.

He said he was going to take me by himself to Mudi's father to check if whatever is wrong with Oni is ordinary.

He can't go to Mudi's father. Mudi and Larry will be in a serious trouble because of me if his father finds out.

This whole thing was begining to get out of hand. I don't know how to escape this whole thing I got myself into

JUST A LITTLE SIN

Episode 6

My father gave me a day to come to him with the truth.

I had no choice than to go back to him the following day because I couldn't even sleep that night.

I way thinking of the outcome of the whole sad event at same time I was running from Oni's trouble as she refused to sleep in my sisters room but choose to sleep in my room 

I never touched her, infact I was begining to hate and also pity her condition because she obviously doesn't know whatever she is doing, she is being controlled by some force which she has no power over.

I will never take advantage of her in this condition, never.

She did not sign up for any of this things, is unfortunate that she happened to fall into the middle of the fight between Juru and i. Juru pushed me into this with his whole boastful attitude and words.

He belittled me too much and even compared me to his dog, that was the highest insult of my life and I refused to let it slide just like that

For the sake of my peace of mind because I was almost going crazy because of this whole love triangle

and also for Oni who does not deserve this. for the sake of Larry and Mudi they will get into trouble if this gets to Mudi's father's ears, because of all this things I just have to call it quit.

If my father can help me resolve all of this without escalating it then I'm totally in.

I went to my father early that morning while Oni was still asleep, she had troubled me all through the night but I was head strong and refused to bent or take advantage of her.

She slept late as she kept whining and watching over me like a cat to a mouse.

I told my father half of the truth, I excluded some part of the stories, I never told him that I was trying to get back at Juru, I just informed that Oni was under a Love spell

He began to preach again as expected,

He assumed that I used to love Oni and wanted her by all means but because she was not showing interest I decided to struck her with a love spell.

I don't care about his assumption, although it was a wrong assumption but I don't care, I just wanted everything to be over soon.

Father asked me that hope I haven't lay with Oni, I assured him that I haven't and don't intend to touch her.

He said if I want the spell to break faster i should corporate with whatever she does and stop running away from it.

I should eat with her, take a walk with her, talk kindly with her and treat her well but I should never go intimate with her.

Eating, walking and even playing along with the whole thing was exhausting but I was ready to do anything to break free from her 

Sleeping with her wasn't an issue because I never intended to do that in the first place.

I decided to do whatever my Dad asked of me but after a month, which was supposed to be the actual time Oni was supposed to be free, but she was still the same love struck.

Nothing changed at all.

Father said I should marry her, maybe through marriage the spell will be broken. I rejected the idea.

Mama agreed to it but is not going to happen.

I rushed to Mudi and asked him what is really going on, I was tired and sick of everything.

Mudi asked me to calm down that maybe he was wrong with the calculation.

I really need my life back and can no longer bear any of the things happening.

Oni needs to get back herself and return to her house.

Mudi said it was supposed to be a month, exactly four weeks and the spell will expire but he can no longer tell what was going on.

He said I should just exercise patient and it will be all over in no time.

I went back home and Oni was just returning from market with my Mother and sisters.

She doesn't follow me around like before, she helps out around the house and assisted in selling mama's corn bean mixed cake.

I just want her gone, let her start hating and bashing me, I'm waiting for that part, I'm totally prepared for it but is yet to come.

I need to start doing something meaningful with my life but not with Oni around.

She even calls my mom mama and my sisters has come to love her and my mother treats her like one of her daughters.

What's all this family reunion? I want her gone, it was all a mistake and I'm over it.

She should start hating, cursing and start going too.

Mudi has said that once the spell falls off she will hate me so much and that supposed to be exactly four weeks. Is already more than four weeks, I'm still wondering what was going on.

Ever since Oni came to my house, my entire being isn't mine anymore, I want my sleep, peace and life back

I wouldn't have mind if she was Dunfi, yes I understand that she's late but I will never have complained one bit if it was Dunfi.

Oni may be very pretty, smart and stand out like a model but I just don't fancy her at all.

She should go back and continue with Juru who loves her.

I only wanted to teach Juru a lesson and I actually achieved that long time ago, right now the whole thing was becoming annoying.

I wonder why her family never come looking for her. mama was right about Oni's father and step mother attitude when she traveled to inform them about Oni.

Few days later, I noticed that Molly was begining to sneak out to an unknown place.

I asked faithi my second sister and last kid of the house who was about eleven years where Molly has been going to but Faithi has no idea.

Whenever Molly comes back from whoever she was going to see, Molly is always filled with smile.

Oni had said the other night "Molly has a boyfriend whom she obviously loves so much just as I love and adore you too Tomasi. Love is magical and can find you in an unexpected place, it can even make you do stupid things, just like I do sometimes. I don't know who Molly's boyfriend is, I wish he is as perfect like you..."

Perfect? She is definitely mistaken me for some other guy. 

Molly is just sixteen, she can't possibly be having a boyfriend at this young age. Is not allowed and I'm going to find out who she was dating and warn whoever the boy is to stay off my sister.

I spoke to Molly that evening, I talked to her kindly so that she can confide in me.

The talk worked out magically as she told me that truly she met this guy who she fell so much in love with just like Oni loves and adores me.

Molly said she can't live without seeing him for two days.

They have a hideout where they usually meet.

I pressed on and asked her if the boy was from our village, she said no, but he visits alot. He used to have a friend in a faraway district but not anymore.

He is wealthy, handsome and very caring too. Molly said while smiling sheepishly.

I asked her about the boy's name but she refused to tell.

She said her boyfriend wouldn't like that, he is a very private person.

I try to force his name out of her mouth but she refused to say.

", You're just sixteen Molly and don't have any business dating at this age. I'm 21 years and still very afraid of love or relationship. We boys are dangerous and not to be trusted" I told Molly.

But she was not even listening to me and she was already calculating their next meeting.

The moment she mentioned that the guy comes with a motorbike.

My heart double skipped immediately

I hope is not what I'm thinking, no it can't be. I hope my thoughts are unreal because it won't be funny.

The following day as she was planning to sneak out that evening, I was also planning to follow behind quietly without her knowing.

Just then Oni ran out vomiting seriously.

This was the third time since yesterday.

She must be having stomach upset, maybe one of our food is reacting badly to her which is more reason she needs to leave

Mama came out to examine her properly.

She exhaled as she checked her all over again.

"This is not fever, you're with a child. Tomasi, Oni is in her early pregnancy stage... about a month or so, can't really tell exactly but just about that. She's carrying your child..."

My mouth remained open, this can't be possible. Maybe Mama isn't sure of what she is seeing.

Carrying who's child, this is a funny joke.

I never touched Oni, I avoid looking at her whenever she is trying to dresse front of me, I don't even know the colour of her undies so how can she be carrying my child.

I have never gotten intimate or touched Oni before, how can she be pregnant for me. How, like how exactly?

No, is not possible and it definitely can't be happening.

 Molly has sneaked out and I couldn't follow like I planned to do before.

I wanted to know who my junior sister was seeing and I'm afraid of the thoughts forming in my head. I kept rejecting such thoughts.

Now, I'm going to be facing another bigger problem.

Who is the father of the baby Oni was carrying because is definitely not me.

How do I explain that the pregnancy isn't mine when we have been sharing the same room.

What kind of problem is this?

I'm totally doomed.
