The Preacher Son

Episode 48

We all sat down in shock when we receive the news of the tragic death of mr Sunny, tears could be seen on the face of all the students because even if he usually beats us and we sometimes hated him no one was supposed to die like he did.

Uncle sunny was a cultist and his sister went to fetch water from a neighboring area whereby the opposition cultist were.

When a guy who was her brother’s rival saw her, he took her bucket and throw it away while barring her from fetching water.
Uncle sunny sister got offended and boasted that her brother was a cultist and that he would deal with the guy.

The guy slap her and she ran home crying to her brother, Uncle sunny who did not even wait to hear what his sister had to say, brought out a stainless pistol and marched with his sister to the boy that slap her and he shot the boy twice in the heart.

The guy fell down dead while his fellow opposition members rushed uncle sunny since he neither came with his boys or informed them, he tried running but the overtook him and panel beat the piss out of him.

He was stoned, butchered, battered and chop with cutlasses with his intestines coming out before he was finally burnt to ashes.

The teacher that came even showed us his charred remains, the whole class was weeping and sorrowful.

Why would a young man who was the only son of a very rich man join cultism?
Why would a handsome man like uncle Sunny die just like that?

Why did the people that killed him not have pity and handed him over to the police?
Were the words that ran through my mind, while i shed bitter tears for the teacher that never fails to pamper my arse. Why? why? why?

Judith cried that day until she was sick, i wondered if she and uncle sunny had something in common.

That day during assembly, the flag was lowered and we had a one minute silence for him, a soul that had gone to waste.

Big uncle talked about the ills and dangers of cultism and he advised us to be careful not to fall a victim. Because of his words i promised myself till date that i would stay away from cultism forever.(well am still keeping that promise)

“But dont forget to pay your school fees because from next month we would start driving students” big uncle concluded and stepped down from the podium.
So after this sad issue, this man is still reminding us about school fees, abi he cant just dash us that term free of charge, i tot sadly.

I went home without telling my dad about the school fees stuff but it seemed my sister did because before going to school the next morning he gave us to go and pay.
I took mine and put in my socks and went to school, when i told Judith to escourt me to go and pay the school fees she encouraged me to hold it till they start driving students.
I agreed and i waited till the students were driven which made us happy as we marched outside to go to our various houses.
But i was stuck because my dad was at home and he already gave me money, so if i go home i would have a lot of trouble on my hands so i asked judith what i was going to do.
“Have you forgotten what you told me” she smiled a cocky smile.

“Whats that” i asked her suprise.
“Remember when you said i should buy something for you and you promise to do whatever i told you”

“Ehm, yes i remembered now, so what has that got to do with now”
“You are going home with me then i would give you money for transport”
well the idea frightened me because i had never gone that deep into markurdi before and i doubt know her her area was like but i concluded that it was better to do her wish than to gain my father wrath on my head.
“Ok lets go”

she smiled and took my hands like we were a couple and when we reached the main road we entered a bus and went to her place.
Everywhere looked absurd to me but i claimed like a bad guy and conducted myself.
She took out the key from under the foot mat and went inside. I followed her and sat down while she went inside and came out with a towel round her body and passed me to the batbathroom.

My eyes was following her fat arse but i conducted myself and my JT and concentrated on the cartoon i was watching.
“Uduak pull your cloth and come and scratch my back for me” judith called from the bathroom while i froze with 1000 things running through my head, should i, should i not.

I choose the second option and sat like i did not hear her until she came out of the bathroom and entered the palour naked.
Damn my eyes could not help feeding itself because hers was the biggest puny i ever saw.
