The Preacher Son

Episode 49

“What are you staring for, wount you come lets go inside” Judith said amusely.

My brain had gone into shut down mood and i just kept staring at the wonders of the mighty lord. Her body was the most matured i ever saw it was even better than Tolu’s.

I did not waste time again i just got up with unsteady legs and walked to her while she took me to her room and taught me the advanced course of kamasutra.

Then i knew that Tolu was a learner. She gave me money to board a public bus after escourting me to the road.

I went home and fell on my bed till evening while i went to the field to play ball, i saw Mercy from afar and i remembered our maliase.

I continued playing with my mates and missed alot of chances which made my mates remove me, truth was my mind was on mercy and i felt guilty because of the way i treated her, i pushed that thought the corner of my mind.

I was put back into the game and i was forming fake Ronaldo when i tried dribbling an opponent who was wearing a boot when i step on me.

I pulled out of the game to go and face another trouble at home, my mother.
“Where have you been” she queried.
I was not ready to lie so i just told her i went to play football.

“So is it because your father is not around that you can go out as you want, your junior waec is around the corner and you are not showing any signs of reading or seriousness to read”

I wondered why my mother would refer to my dad to threaten me like as if he was angel micheal and i was lucifer.
I cared less about the junior waec because as for me anybody that wrote it always passed no matter what.
“Mummy abeg flog me i don tire to hear your talk” were the words that came out of my mouth, because i was tired of her gibberish stuffs and i wanted her to flog me to get over with it.
“Oya go and find three big canes”
i quickly ran outside and took three fake canes that i plucked and droped outside in anticipation of any punishment.
“Oya lie down” yeah mehn, today my bottom go get food.

She flogged the first one and the cane broke to pieces, the second, third and that was all, i brought three fat cane but received only three strokes because all the sticks broke. In my mnd am sure i was feeling like albert Einstein, but that was the beginning of my troubles.
“Where is the receipt of your school fees” was the first word that came out of my father’s mouth when i welcomed him that evening.

I had totally forgot my package with Judith, i looked at him confusedly then i lied the only lie that came to my Albert Estien turned zombie brain.

“They have not reached our class yet and i went to pay they say reciept is not yet out”
my sister wanted to debunk my statement and brought out her own but i gave her one ‘abeg na’ eye and she maintained and gave me a ‘f you like dont pay tomorow, i would tell’.

I went to my room and started searching for my money, i searched all my books and bag but i saw nothing until i settled down and started thinking, then i struck me.
I had left the money in my socks, i quickly jumped to where my socks was but it was not there, i was almost crying when i remembered that i had pulled it off during my romp with Judith.

I prayed that night that if God help me see my socks and money intact i would stop sinning, a promise i never kept.

dreamt alot of worried dreams and woke up late as usual, i went to school like a zombie and collect my late comer strokes of cane which brightened my head alittle.
I met Judith in class and told her my problem, she laughed and told me that she saw it at home and kept it for me with the money intact.
Atlast i could smile a little, i followed her that day home to collect my property but not before she molest me.
I went to pay the school fees and gave my dad the reciept.
After about a week Judith started behaving strangely, she was always vomiting, laying down on her desk and other stuffs until one day she fainted in class.

Everyone was frightened and some big boys rushed her to the school clinic where she was examined and tested.

The librarian came to tell the class the second most baddest news i heard in jss3. My pulse was beating fast and i also felt like fainting because i tot my own destruction have come.
