In That Moment

Episode 34

I knew deep in me this girl na scam so I didn’t take her words seriosly so I never expected her calls…

Weeks passed but this saturday in the morning my phone rang I answered…
Surprisingly it was this girl I was like WTF..

She apologised for not calling earlier that she travelled and now she is back and she wants to see me so we fixed an appointment…

4PM I called her and notified her I was leaving home she said no wahala… I got into a neat polo, a blue jean and a palm slippers, picked up my wrist watch and then enter mumsy room use her perfume make I dey more expensive..
Looking at the mirror erything was dandy

I got to the place she directed so I called her again after like 10 minutes she came out and took me in…

Waoh the compound was neat.. interlocked frontage, it had a garage where 3 cars were parked… then 2 girls Unclad were held down by two hefty guys and one beautiful tall lady was with a belt talking,
she was threatening to put em pepper for thier peepee….

They gurls had bruises on thier body and they were crying as the lady kept pleading,
Listening they were talking about dollars so I thought maybe it was business gone bad..

I didn’t like what I saw but It wasnt my business,…

Inside she apologised for what I saw..
She asked what I wanted but I told her I was good.. so nothing ,….we talked..

She seems to know everything about me but I knew nothing about her….everything about me as in from my parents to me, down to my dept and level I was dumbfounded

I became uncomfortable and started asking questions but she said her name was Joy…
Me: Joy who?
Joy: She said that will be all for now..
Me: What about your parents? Is this your house? Are you working? Are you in school?
Joy: yh I am a law student the rest won’t be necessary for now…

She said that with a smile

Mehn I became uncomfortable and I wanted to leave.. It wasnt funny anymore,
How can someone know every details of your life like that and you know absolutely nothing about her

I told her I will be going that it was nice meeting her..
She said I shouldnt be in a hurry that she wants me to meet some one and besides how about my money…..
She said I should please wait a lil..

While waiting three girls forken beautiful well dressed came to the living room waved at me with a smile and walked out of the house..

After some awkward silent moment she said I should please relax and nothing to be afraid of…
Blah blah blah

Well we began talking about life, places and other stuffs but I wasnt comfortable at all but I didnt want to be a chicken so I chill..

The noise from outside was now high….
A voice was begging shouting forgive me Ma, please since I have spoken the truth…
Then suddenly came a loud scream…….
The wailing and the crying continued

It was now very Obvious that me was not comfortable…
Joy on noticing that tried making the situation a lil less tense so she began talking

Joy: those girls out there lied and tried double crossing our Madam and thats the part she doesnt like blah blah blah…

She kept talking but I wasnt listening my mind tried figuring out who are these people… I ran my eyes round the living room for a clue maybe a family photo or anything… but there was absolutely nothing just a normal and expensive living room.. I began to wonder why did I even show up here? Chai who knows my where about? So many questions ran through my mind and I realised I was foolish to have come…

Me: so our madam that means she is your madam too and you live here?

Joy:yes she is my madam and I live here…

Me: hmm lovely place you av got here…what kind of business is your madam into ? And are you related, what of your parents?

Joy: thank you but please like I said all those questions are not necessary for now..

Me: seriously but how did you know so much about me and why?

Joy: dont worry and we know even more than you think…

Me: okay thank you but I think this is the point I will be leaving..

I stood up

Joy: wait now dont you want to meet who I said wanted meeting you?

Me: I am not instrested..

Joy: calm down what of your money I am going to refund ..

Me: really dont worry.. I didnt ask for a requite when I gave you

Joy: but wait at least to find out why we know so much about you…abi dont you want to know?

Me was hooked with that one…so I went back to my seat

Joy: ah stop acting like a girl…what are you scared of?

She said that smiling and got back to her seat..

Foot steps were approaching and some indistinct conversation and gradually becoming distinct a female voice was talking

Female voice: can you believe that they didnt want to remit 2000 dollars … ama show em that I did hustled hard, paid my dues and was Loyal mehn before I got here.. loyalty is what I demand from this bitches

Na so she enter the room… the tall fair lady that was with a belt and few seconds leta one of the huge guy enter I guess the one she was talking to..

Joy got to her feet and me joined in standing
Me: goodevening ma

She looked at me from head to toe slowly she said so you are … she mention my name…

Me: yes Ma
Ma: hmm so you av come to get your 5000 Naira… Joy said she was owing you..
Me: ah ah hnm no ma
Ma: ok boy sit down..

She went inside Joy followed her and the bouncer guy sat in one the chairs…

Mehn I was now scared, I immediately brought out my phone I tried sending a msg to my guy atleast make person know where I dey but I didnt have enough money on my phone

The lady returned with a bottle of hot drink and a pack of cigarette but Joy was no where to be found..

She sat down pulled a stick of cigarette poured her self some drink, puffed out smoke and she threw the pack of cigarette to her bouncer who took one…

She took a sip of her drink and closed her eyes after a while she opened em

Ma: do you smoke boy?
Me: no Ma
Ma: boy when I am talking to you, you stand until I permit you to sitdown boy…
