[ sister mary ] : Episode 40 : “baby, your words are so scary. Seriously” i said, staring into her eyes. She breathed deeply and smiled reassuredly. “yes i know, but i’m obliged to tell you the truth. If i fail to be truthful to you then i don’t have your best interest in mind” she said softly while i looked away with regret. “yes i have to seek peace with God but not until i finish my business with Mary” i murmured slowly. She held me strongly and shook her head. “no you just have to be honest with Mary. Telling her the truth will go a long way with your atonement. Moreover what’s the need raising the poor lady’s hopes only to dash them in the end” she said calmly, her eyes fully focused on me. “you really don’t understand. You have never spent a night at a police cell. That place is hell. Believe me you will do worst just to avoid returning there. You know she can start up the closed case if don’t play my cards well” i explained with deep pain. She quietly dropped her eyes with understanding. “i do understand, but you just can’t continue living this way. Remember Jboy is gone, how do you plan to continue?, it’s just not right” she said with great intensity. I rubbed my face with my palms, thinking deeply. She really was right. “How do i continue without Jboy?”. “i can talk to her you know. I can try to reason out issues with her” she suddenly suggested. “you really don’t know Mary. She seems cool but when touched at the wrong spot can be very aggressive. Just let me handle it my own way” i pleaded seriously. She shrugged and breathed deeply. “just bear in mind that God is watching” she concluded with resignation. We ended up not accepting each other’s views. She finally left for her apartment, a bit disappointed. ____ It really wasn’t easy finding sleep with all that was happening and bugging my mind. I couldn’t sleep again that night as i kept thinking over Chioma’s words. I was scared of Mary, scared of the police, scared of dying. Infact scared of everything. Just like Jboy i was yet to achieve anything with my certificate and job. No wife, no good savings, nothing. By 10am the next day, i headed to the morgue to meet Jboy’s parents who were coming over to see their dead STILL ROLLING.........
