Episode 39

“I need a very well furnished duplex of my own,” I
replied straight away.
“A well furnished duplex?” He asked probably to be
sure he heard me right.
“Yes a well furnished duplex,” I repeated.
“Alright consider it done,” senator clifford replied and
dropped the call.
I felt so good and elated.
I was already ranking as the biggest girl in Filbom
lodge – for that was the name of our lodge – and had
so many girls flocking round me for assistance.
The guys living in our lodge felt too intimidated to talk
to me as they felt I was far above their class and
would have no respect for them. I respected their
assumptions and kept my distance to avoid insult.
Even if I wasn’t going to live in the duplex, I could rent
it out and have it serve as another source of income
for me.
It had been long I saw my family and I felt the need to
go home and see them. I also wanted to use the
opportunity to show them my jeep and prove to them
– my mum in particular – that I was doing fine.
I hadn’t received any call from any hotel or client since
I came back from Dubai except from senator clifford.
I got up from my bed and went to my wardrobe to
dress up. My clothes were all rumbled sake for the one
I ironed the night before. I quickly wore it, put on some
make up and left.
I didn’t plan to spend the night at home so I had to
leave early enough so that I could get back on time.
I got home around 5 o’clock in the evening.
My mum’s face turned into a frown the moment she
saw me climb down from my jeep.
“Wonders shall never end o!” She exclaimed.
“Mummy how?” I asked staring at her with surprise.
“Wonders shall never end!” She repeated.
“Oh! the jeep? I bought it few days ago. Come and
take a look,” I persuaded.
My mum reluctantly came over and peeped at the
interior of the vehicle.
“Wonders shall never end!” She exclaimed again.
“Thought I told you about my new job?” I asked
staring surprisingly at her. “I told you that I now work
and go to school.”
“Please what type of work is that?” My mum asked.
“Company work and they pay well,” I replied.
My mum kept mute staring continuously at me and
the car.
“Mummy I bought this for you,” I said bringing out a
parcel from the back seat and handing it to her.
“What is inside?”
“Open it first nah.”
“I’m not interested in your gift!” My mum said dropping
the gift on the floor and shrugged her shoulders.
“You’ve finally succeeded in joining prostitution abi?”
“How can you say such thing?” I countered feigning
annoyance. “I work with a top perfume company and
they pay me well.”
“How can a student be working with a top company
and be paid well to buy a jeep? You don’t even know
how to lie.” My mum pointed out.
“It was God’s favour,” I continued. “You know that our
family is always favoured.”
The argument continued as we went into the house.
My siblings were all in school and my mum was left
with the house-help which she had brought to work
and keep her company.
I spent approximately one hour at home before I
started coming back to my lodge.
I had driven for about thirty five minutes on the
express way when I noticed that a particular 504 car
was trailing my jeep.
I slowed down, they slowed down. I increased speed,
they increased speed.
Without thinking twice, I pressed on the gas pedal and
it answered without hesitation.
The 504 followed suit in hot pursuit.
The occupants of the car were young men about six in
number.
It was a race of life and death as those guys were
determined to overtake and probably block me.
But then my driving lessons weren’t in vain and my
darling jeep was still in good shape.
The chase continued.
There weren’t too many cars on the road so the few I
saw, I overtook them instantly and sped on.
The 504 did the same and followed in hot pursuit.
All of a sudden, my jeep started losing speed and the
504 caught up with me and attempted to overtake me.
I pressed harder on my gas pedal, no show.
I swerved to the left then to the right to block them as
they attempted to overtake me.
At last, I sighted a police station infront and quickly
drove in as the 504 peugeot sped on without stopping
as they knew the implication of attempting to snatch
my car inside a police station…
